That and Lack of Thrift Responsible
for Railroads Condition-Copeland

A woefuI lack of thrift and gross
extravaganza are the main causes for
the present conditions OF. the railroads,
according to z. l. Copeland, secretary
and treasurer of the Santa Fe. in his
talk to the Cooperative club Tuesday
night. ...,.
The administration did not know
how to place their orders for equip
ment in the first place" he said, and
the increased volume of business
could not be handled to the best adj
vantage. Freight cars and locomo-
tives will cost the owners twice and
three times as much now, as they
would have if they had been. pur-
chased before the hike in material and

TRANQUIL IN HAITI,
LEJEUNE REPORTS

throughout the republic of Haiti, ac-
cording to report made to Secre-
tary Daniels by Mai. Gen. John A.
Corps, who has just completed a per-
sonal investigation of the admins
tration of police and military affairs
of that country by a United States
marine force of about 1000 men. Gen.
Lejeune said that the work of the
marines in suppressing banditry has
won the gratitude of all law abiding
natives.
Instructions of Col. John H. Rus
sell. commanding, insisting upon
by the men of his force, are being
loyalty and >conscientiously" en-
forced by subordinate officers, Gen.
Lejeune asserted.
No Reference to Charges.
In giving out the report. Secretary
Daniels, while making no direct ref
erence to recent charges of Senator
Harding that the administration was

to the public because of recent wide
1y published statements rejecting
! duty there" Gen. Lejeune was sent to
Haiti to report on conditions during
the period from June 80 last. when
he became commandant of the corps.
because of these statements, Secre-
tary Daniels said.
While reporting an almost total
suppression of banditry and lawless-
/ ness at the present time, Gen. Lejeune
declared that until banditry has been
completely stamped out it is essential
for the welfare of Haiti that the pres
ent disposition of marine forces in
the interior should not be changed.
All large forces of bandits have been
dispersed and the last important ban
dit leader, Louisnord. was killed and
his force broken up recently, the gen.
eral reported, but there ar still re-
naming a number of small bands.

MUST BUILD MORE
SCHOOLS FOR D. c.,
DECLARES bALLOU
Paramount Need Outlined to
Columbia Heights Citi-
zenS' Association.

Paramount need for more school build
fngs in the District was stressed by DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, in the course Of an address be-
fore the Columbia Heights Citizens As
ISOLATION last night at meeting held in
st. Stephens Parish Hall.
1--WE cannot go on absorbing between
2,Seo and 5000 more children year after
ings," DR.. Ballou told the assembled
citizens This congestion has existed
for number of years. There are 2,7OO
more pupils this year than year ago
today, and there is not an additional
room in which to put them"
The task of getting more school build
ings is a tremendous one, the new SUI
perintendent declared, and the school
officials are undertaking to find places
for the children as well as they can. but
all the methods offer only temporary So
luton.
II do not believe that it is at all pos
sble to catch up in the regular method
of providing school funds" continued
Dr. Ballou. my belief is that we must
engage in some campaign that will bring
the situation to the attention Of all the
people in the District and then get leg
islation that will give appropriate FUNDS
to build.
to accomplish something of that sort"
saidJDr. Ballou.
He said that he was now surveying
the entire school system of the Dis
trict- He told the citizens that after
plan for primary-grade children. as
has been rumored. but that even II
extension of the hours of the little
ones is put into effect it will mean
that much of the time will be spent
on Fairgrounds. etc.
Preparation OF Budget.
Dr. Ballou told of the preparation of
the school budget, the reading of the
briefs of the various citizens asSocla-
. tons as to school needs and the re-
sulting belief that the realization of
these desires would cost much
larger sum of money than is avail
able.
"The people of the District are salts
fed only with the best" the superin-
tendent said. THE schools OF the Dis
trict should set an example for the
school systems of the country. Moth
ing is impoSSi BILE that the people here
set out to accomplish.
Dr. Ballou said there were many
needs in the organization and admin
istration of the local school system,
including need of modification of the
supervisory staff. Additional kinds of
education are needed, he stated. But
the paramount need is more school
buildings.
At the conclusion of DR.. BalIou's
address, the association pledged it's
support to the superintendent
w. /. Swanton, chairman of the
public utilities committee of the asso-
citation, presented report in which
urged a separate utilitiese commits
sion for the District, a merger of
the local street car companies, and a
reduced car fare for school children
at certain hours.
The association adopted the first
and last recomme ndations, but turned
down the recommendation as to
merger, after lively debate.
The ass. iation voted to invite Com
missioner Boardman to address the
