No normal function OF the District

Everybody went to work as usual.
and even the ash collection service

and the District has no authority as
vet to do the work itself.
The desired authority is contained
in the third deficiency bill. Arrange

comes a law. In the meantime Mr..
Bean will help the city out of its diff

overt ACT" CHARGED
AGAINST MEX|CANS
American Oil Drillers Kept From
Work by Governments
Troops.

The Mexican government has COM
mftted an overt act Of confscation in
preventing American oil we'll drillers
from working on lands owned by Ameri-
can individuals or companies by sending
soldiers into the fields and driving
away the workmen, State Department
officials said today.
Complaint was made to the Mexica n
government on April Of this year,
It was learned, against the refusal OF
the government to grant permits to
the oil companies to drill. No answer
was received until after the Juarez
incident. it was said, and then Presi-
dent Carranza announced no permits,
provisional or other. would be grant
ed until the companies had complied
with the law. Compliance with the
law. it was said by State Department
officials, would constitute recognition
by the companies that the Mexican
government owned the oil lands
The orders to the military forces to
prevent drilling by force Of arms were
issued by President Carranza last
May is. according to advices from
Mexico City today. The petroleum de-
partment instructed the Mexican war
department.. by direct orders Of Car
RAMA to use any force necessary to
prevent drilling without permit al
though the lands on which the drill
ing was being done were legally ae-
tduired by the present owners. Ssss~ss5a
The war department transmitted the
orders with specific directions AZ to
action TO be taken by tho soldiers to
the military commanders at Tampico
and Tuxpam. and immediat ely COM
panies Of soldiers were sent into the
fields. 1t was not known how many
drilling gangs were driven out OF the
oil fields by the soldiers. but two have
been reported and raids have been
made, according to official reports on

WILL STUDY THE METHODS
FOR DEFECTIVE SPEECH

The board Of education, it was
learned today. has authorised Supt
of Schools Thurston to make a trip to
New York this month to study the
methods in use in that city to correct
defects in the speech of school chill
dren.
In announcing his intention of go
ing to New York to make this study
Mr.. Thurston estimated today that a
careful survey of the public schools
of the District probably would show
about 1000 children who need some
attention to overcome minor defects
in their manner of speaking.
A survey made in 1917 disclosed
1900 children in the local public
schools with defects of speech seri-
Gus enough to require attention.
Mr.. Thurston's inquiry was started
in accordance with a resolution in
troduced by John b. Larner at a
meeting of the board of education
several weeks ago.
