TEACHERS COUNCIL
MEETS NEXT WEEK
copyr:ght. 1913
ey r. l. 0oifbsrs

The first practical operation of the
Teachers Council, created last spring
will occur next week when the coun-
ell will be called together to discuss
the proposed changes in the public
school system recommended by the
United States Bureau of Education.
On the council the Board of Educa-
ton, teachers, janitors, and other
scnool employees will be represented.
1t was decided last spring to create
such a council which would enable
school employees to voice their opin-
ions in matters coming before the
Board of Education and Congress,
which affect them.
The Federal Bureau recommends
sweeping changes. including increased
salaries. additional assistant superin-
tendents, ana reorganization of the
administrative offices. The council
only has The power to criticize and
suggest changes. as the matter OF
carrying out these recommendations
Is in the hands of Congress alone.
There seems to be little doubt that
the council will approve of the
changes. Objections may possibly be
made at this meeting to the reorgan-
ization plan offered by the Federal
Bureau.

HOUSE BEGINS WORK
ON ESCH RAIL BILL
Flood of Amendments and
Lively Issues Are Expect
ed on Measure.
roryrignt. 1919
Ry r l. Goldos G

Actual consideration of the railroad
legislation now pending in the House
began today following the conclusion
If the general debate on the Esch bill
and the taking UP of the measure for
study, section by section, and amend
ment.
Already a number of changes in the
form of the Legislation have been sug-
gested by members, and a food OF
amendments is expected before the
close Of the session today and until
the bill has been disposed of finally
in the House.
The amendments announced this
morning came from the friends of the
water carriers who are insisting that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
shall not have joint Jurisdiction of
both rail and water carriers.
should Control Water.
That the commission shall have
such authority is a pet hobby of
Chairman Esch. of the committee.
who thinks that the commission, and
not the Shipping Board, is the proper
regulatory body for the merchant ma
rine.
Esch believes, also, that the COM
mission is the best regulatory BODY
for interstate communications and
would have the telegraph and tele-
phone interstate business placed un-
der the commission. A provision of
the bill he has presented to the House
does this in large m sasure.
There are many members of Con-
gress who do not agree with Esch
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should be a general regu-
latory bod for all public service bod
les doing an interstate business, and
they will insist that the duties of the
commission be circumscribed and con-
fined mainly to matters affecting the
railroads.
Lively Fight Due.
On this issue there is to be a lively
fight before the railroad bill is jam
med through the House. A definite
plan for adjustment of differences
will have been made.
The Fuel Administration and the
Railroad Administration today an
nounced that the restrictions which
have been placed upon the use and
distribution of coal will remain in ef-
feet until such time as there is as
surance of an adequate production
again.
1t was thought possible that the
maximum prices and the preferential
lists might be kept in force during
negotiations.

and contortions, hobbled over to the

In a sing-song voice she began her

Il can see the big coal trucks, bare
ly creeping along under their heavy
loads, steal UP to the back entrance
of big apartment house in the north
west section of Washington. stop by
the cellar door, and unload the black
diamonds into the coal shoot.
81 can see the fat janitor take off
his silk shirt, put on a pair of over
alls, get his shovel and dig away into
the coal pile until he reaches an iron
box, locked and re-locked with intri-
cate combinations.
"WiII Do the Trick
II can see him pull the box from
the coal pile and carefully open it,
peer within, sniff questioningly, and
nod his head vigorously. / can hear
him murmur, this is good bran mash,
alright, and with a little yeast, it'll
do the trick
Il can see him open the door of
the boiler in the furnace, and test
the water for heat, and again nod his
head in satisfaction.
81 can see him shovel the bran mash
into the boiling water of the furnace,
throw in a pound or two OF yeast,
shut the door and begin feeding the
fire with coal and turning on the
forced draft.

BIG CAVE FOUND ON
FARM IN ARKANSAS

Huntsville, Ark, April 10.-An inn
mense cave, the largest in Madi-

the largest in the State, has been

to former State Senator Lem
uel Kendall situated four miles
northeast of Alabama. Tie entrance
obscure and scarcely noticeable, is
near Kings river.
The cave has been explo red dis
lance of five miles, and many othe>
passages opened beyond in an lntr!-
cate and apparently endless process
sion. Scores of rooms, some small
but one more than q quarter OF an
acre in extent, were explored. There
are many stalagmites and sta!acite5
in every room. Both are united III
several places, forming won:ertVt
white columns that stand sentinel
like near the remains Of strange an
mails and heaps Of human bones.
