Charges of immortality among
teachers Of the colored public schools
of Washington, which grew out of
the Moens case. were denied by
Roscoe c. Bruce, assistant superin-
tendent of schools, at a hearing be-
fore the special Senate committee
yesterday afternoon. Bruce de-
clared that such intimations were
falsehoods put out by the Parents
League to discredit him especially.
and to injure the entire school
system.
He asserted that intimations of
misconduct had been brought
against only one teacher, and that
he had recommended her prompt
he asserted that there was not SUI
Bruce disclaimed any desire to at
tack Superintendent Thurston or DR..
Van Schaick. president of the school
board, but said that 1t was grossly
unfair for him to be obliged to sub
nit all his official acts to Mr..
Thurston when "the colored COM
munity of Washington holds me
strictly responsible for the conduct
of Washington schools for colored
children"
Declaring that the condition of
colored residents of Washington
was a continuous battle for bread"
he asserted that thete was no suf-
hcient means for training colored
boys and girls In skilled professions.
At the morning hearing Bruce de-
clared that Superintendent Thurs

He charged that through the in
fiuence of Fountain Peyton. colored
member of the board of education,
Thurston had been persuaded to re-
move A. H. Glenn from the board of
examiners after that board had fail
cd to pass a daughter Of Peyton,
who was seeking a position as

pened in the middle OF the river
and the boys were forced to bat

terpreted as an order to the faith
full to split their votes between
Wood and Johnson. This it seems
was carried out.
Firmer Hold on City.
Incidentally Mayor Thompson took
a firmer hold on the city as his
slate of ward committeeman car
ried almost without a hitch. Al
midnight thirty three out of thirty
five wards were conceded to the
Thompson machine and there Is a
chance that he may make a clean
sweep.
Naturally this will tend to make
him an important figure in the COM
ing nomination for President, but
his chances of being reelected ma
tional committeeman did not i'm
prove as II is certain that the Low
den following will fight him tooth
and nail.

the women of the State took to the
primary with any great enthusiasm.

There was a very light vote in the
Democratic primaries with no can
didate showing any particular

trict. 1t is also known that a few
delegates who ran on the Lowden
ticket are and have been working
for Wood and after the first ballot
these undoubtedly will desert the

showing of Gen. Wood and johnson
did not carry the conviction that
popular clamor in this State de-
manded either for a standard bearer.
The Lowden people, Of course, are
well pleased especially after the
'whirlwind campaign ! of Wood
through the State but privately they
admit that the totals would have
been more convincing had they been
a little more unanimous In all Sec
tions Of the State.
Lowden's defeat in Cook County
means that he may have fourteen
of the county's delegates to the Ma
