in January. Sergt. Galloway since
February 16 and Mrs. Bennett since
February 20.
Like Paralysis Of Nerve Centers.
Sleeping sickness. physicians say.
affects the nerve centers somewhat
like paralysis. 1t derives its name
from the fact that persons suffering
from it remain constantly in a
stupor.
Reporting of sleeping sickness is
not compulsory in the District. and
for this reason the health department
has no means of knowing whether
any other cases exist here.

MRS. COOK DENIES
KNOWLEDGE OF ANY
SCHOOL B0ARDR|
Admits Discussing SC 9! Teacher
Selections With Assistant
Superintendent.

Seeking to ascertain whether there
has been a ring" in the school board
which controlled school matters and
rison closely questioned Mrs. Coralie
F. Cook, member of the board. at to-
days meeting of the Senate commit
tee investigating the school system
The witness denied any knowledge
of such a ring. The only informal
meeting of some of the members OF
the board whose names were men,
toned by Senator Harrison. held at
the Franklin School. which Mrs. Cook
ter to Supt. Thurston informing him
he would not be reelected was
dra fled.
The testimony developed the fact
that Mrs. Cook had discussed the
qualifications of applicants for ap-
pointment as teachers with Assistant
Supt. Bruce. but that she had not dis
cussed them with Supt. Thurston
Mrs. Cook denied that in this she was
seeking to go over the head OF Mr.
Thurston, saying that it was natural
because of Mr. Bruce's knowledge and
her own knowledge of the situation in
the colored schools and of the colored
race that she should discuss these
matters with him.
At noon the committee adjourned
until o'clock this afternoon, when
it resumed its examination of Mrs.
Cook.
Mrs. Cook Again Questioned,
Mrs. Cook again was questioned to-
day by Senator Harrison of Mississippi
regarding conditions in the colored
schools and her opposition to the re-
tention of Supt. Thurston in Office.
Referring to the case of Miss Mary
Clifford, a niece of Mrs. Cook, who
was at one time employed temporarily
in the Office of the general secretary
of the community centers. Mrs. Cook
said that when the temporary appoint
ment expired her niece went back to
Kansas City and made no further ef-
fort to get back her position.
"She was on theN eligible list as
teacher herself" said Mrs. Cook, ''but
she made no effort to be appointed"
why was 'that?" asked Senator Har-
rison.
II suppose that she did not con-
slider it proper for me to push her
claim. and that it might be charged
if she were appointed that she had had
my influence as a member or the
board"
Did you ever attempt to have any
one appointed on the teaching force!'
Never" replied the witness. She
added that such things have been
done, however.
