Never was it known in the history

that the first bale Of the season met

In some places local parties bought
the first bale as a matter of expedi-

hearings yesterday. probably will not

fore beginning work on their report,
will wait until they have all Of the

them. The last of the testimony prob
ably will not be available until next
week.
The report. when II Is drafted. un-
doubtedly win contain constructive rec
concentrations regarding the school
system. some of which may require
legislation. while members of the
committee were unwilling at this
time to forecast in any way what
will be contained in their report. it
is Understood that suggestions for
the appointment of n business man
ageP for the schools is likely to re-
ceive favorable consideration. An
other suggestion that will be given
consideration is that the members of
the board Of education shall be ap-
pointed by the President and con
firmed by the Senate.
The report also will take cogni-
zancc Of the factional differences
which have arisen In the schools
here. 1t Is understood. Members of
the committee feel that the investiga
ton has been exhaustive. The hear
ings continued for practically six

Clergy to Continue Work on
Lines Adopted by James
M. Hickson.

James Moore Hickson, the healer"
has gone. but from many hearts in
Washington today there went up a
! unified paean of praise to God for the
help-spiritually and physically-that
has been bestowed upon the afflicted in
this city.
Mr.. Hickson closed his three-day
Christian healing mission at Trinity
Church yesterday. Last night he went
to Baltimore to conduct similar serv-
ices.
Testimony to the remarkable cures
visited upon scores of sufferers con-
tinued to pour in to the Trinity Com
| munity House today. But greater than
the physical relief from pain was the
spiritual help manifested through the
medium of Mr.. Hickson.
Persons who had not seen the inside
of church for years came to scoff-
but remained to pray. Clergymen of
Washington declared today that now
is the golden opportunity for a revival,
and indications are that they will take
full advantage of the opportunity.
Clergy to Hold Meeting.

The commission found there were

Bill to Limit Returns.
At the suggestion of the commission
a bill has been introduced into the
legislature that would limit the re-
turn from investments in Dwelling
houses to per cent. The purpose OF
1t is to prevent speculation In homes.
The commissioners found tnat many
builders had stopped construction De,
cause of the high cost of labor and
materials and had gone to speculating
in real estate. The result was that
frequent sales Of property were FOL
lowed by advances in rent.
In many cases tenants We're 1orceo

lords might demand higher rates
