In Washington. on Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock and required to testify
regarding their own conduct in Of

At the clos Of the conference SEN
ator Sherman said the committee
would summon employees from every
sgrade and department of the schools.
While Senators asserted that the

a District Commissioners.

tom of the causes that make for in
efficiency in the school system Of
Washington"
. There is no reason why wash
ington should not have a model
school system" said Senator Sher-
man. but 1t is clear that she has
nothing of the sort. The committee
is not going to be fooled with q su-
.perficial investigation and with the
testimony of q few biased witnesses.
The public is entitled to know the
truth"
Thurston to Testify.
Senator Sherman refused to make
any comment on DR.. Van Schaick,
but said that Superintendent Thurs
ton would be called upon to testify.
Senator Henderson remarked thar
the Joint Congressional committee
salaries of govern
ment employees in Washington had
not received a satisfactory report
on salaries paid teachers in Wash
ington, and had been obliged to ask
for more data, especially as regards
Washington salaries as compared
with salaries paid teachers in other
first-class cities Of the country.
In speaking yesterday of the re-
ported offer to Frank Cody, of the
District, to head Washington
schools, DR.. an Schaick said: mo

Today's Race Is Deciding One
With Resolute Ruling as
Strong FavOrite.
WORK GOOD
Course Today Will Be Fifteen
Mile Beat Into the Wind
and Return.
(Sun-HeraId Specially

New York, July 25.-Resolute and
Shamrock " will finish the series for
the Americas cup tomorrow, provid-
ing either of the boats finish within
the six hour time limit. Each yacht
is credited with two races of the
series and the winner of tomorrow's
course will take the muchly sought
battered silver cup first , rought to
this country by the schooner America
in 1851.
Both yachts took sail stretching
spins in the horse shoe this afternoon
preparatory to the final race tomor-
row. During the trials the Resolute
used brand new mainsail which will
be used tomorrow in the final
Postponement of the race yesterday
proved a disappointment to the big
crowds who had gone to the mark
at Ambrose Channel lightship, and
severe criticism was heard from the
the rivermen and fishermen. With
the return of the two boats into the
anchorage inside Sandy Hook oc-
CURED a characteristic incident illus
trating the difference in the handling
of the yachts. When the Resolute
came abreast of her mooring buoy she
took in her jib. and with a sweep to
leeward came up TO the buoy under
her own sail in the midst of a sharp
squall. The Shamrock sagged by her
buoy with main sheet played out to
keep the main sail shaking and allowed
herself to be picked up by her tender
and towed to moorings.
Veteran yachtsmen thought the
shippers should have taken a chance
on the 20 mile wind, but for the fact
that the weather forecasts for the af-
ternoon promised sharp squalls. They
pointed out that in 1898 Vigilant and
Valkyrie raced through a 25-mile
northeaster although Valkyrie car
ried away four spinnakers as fast as
she could set them. Saturdays was
the second postponement because of
heavy weather in the history of the
contests. The first was in 1903 when
Shamrock Ill objected to racing in a
northeast gale.
Tomorrow's race will be run over
the same course that had been set for
yesterdayLa Is mile beat to windward
and a Is mile run before the wind.
In the five starts made during the
series, the ResoIute has shown a
marked superiority in windward work. |
She had taken commanding lead in
the 15-mile windward beat of the first
race when her throat halyards broke, |
forcing her to drop out of the running. |
The wind shifted in the third race, !
Fobbing the Resolute of her advan- !
tage in windward work and she won |
on those points largely during the two |
remaining races.

REDS
HAVE BEEN shot
Emma Goldman Authority for
Statement That BOlsheviki
Killed Buford's Passengers.
BY MILTON BRoNNER.

London, July 26.-Emma Goldman
is authority for the statement that
200 radicals" deported by the Unit
ed States to Russia on the Red Ark
Buford, have been shot by the Boil
shevists.
Mrs.. Philip Snowden, member OF
the British Labor Party delegation to
Russia to investigate Bolshevism
who has just returned to England
saw Miss Goldman in Petroscad. II
was there, Mrs. Snowden states, that
Miss Goldman told her of the shoot
ing of the deportees. f..-,
~~s Emma Goldman is sick Of Russia
and disgusted with Bolshevisn, ac-
cording to the British labor party ir-
vest gator, and she signed herself in
Mrs Snowden's notebook: "A politi
cal refugee from America in Russia
and afraid to talk fully, fearing
spies"
Mrs. Snowden says she doesn't
know how Miss Goldman manages to
earn her bread.
''Bolshevism has brought to the
common man hunger, cold and ter
ror," says Mrs. Snowden, fully cor
roborating the statements of j. Her
bert Duckworth, whose revelations of
Russian conditions in the Journal
made after an independent investiga-
ton, are startling America.
Il am a Socialist; a democrat and
a Christian says Mrs. Snowden,
land I am opposed now to Bolshe-
vism because it is neither soeialistic,
democratic or Christian.
THE so-called dictatorship of the
proletariat,' means dictatorship by
the Communist party" says Mrs.
Snowden. Six hundred thousand
members of the Communist party are
dictated to by six leaders and the Ex-
traordinary Commission to Suppress
the Counter Revolution" says Mrs.
Snowden.

Former Food Administrator
Wires st. Lawrence Congress
r. Concerning Project.

Detroit, Mich, July 25.-Importance
of opening the upper st. Lawrence
river to. ocean going vessels as
means of enhancing the worlds food
supply was pointed out in telegram
from Herbert Hoover, former food ad-
ministrator. to the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence Tidewater congress. Mr..
Hoover had been asked to attend the
congress but was unable to appear.
There is absolutely no question
that requires so definitely construc-
, tive program as our whole transpor
tation problem the telegram said.
Both railroads and waterways are
far behind the. productivity of our
country. Agriculture and general in
dustry are embarrassed by lack of
transportation and the margins be-
tween producer and consumer are
widened gantly by failure to
obtain proper distributions
"In the years to come the country
will find that proper outlet for the
bulk of it's commodities will lie by
water rather than rail. We need
national study and a national program
of Transportation development, such
a program VIII embrace4not only i'm

DEVELOPMENT of the st. Lawrence.
sThat the ports of the Great Lakes
can be put effectively on seaboard
with a comparatively moderate ex-
penditure is unquestioned and such a
step will improve enormously the
prosperity of Is states, decrease cost
of, distributing commodities and in
crease returns to the producer.
TT is necessary that these problems
shall be handled in a, definite and
coordinated manner, that a positive
policy be outlined by the government
extending over a term of years for
their accomplishment and that they be
taken out of partisan politics and
placed in the hands. of competent
managers. ~
"As an incident to such develop
ment program know of nothing more
important than consolidation of the
many construction and engineering de-
partments of the government into one
great public works department prob
ably in replacement of the present de-
partment of the interior. Such de-
partment would become the central
point for handling these problems.
would obtain proper coordination of
the efforts of the government, save an
enormous duplication and effort, make
possible a forward looking program
