WASHINGTON, D; c., March pa
The application OF John H. SUNNI ers.
of Liberty, w, Va. for a pension filed
under the age service law of 1911, was
filed at the Pension Bureau today by
Representative H. C. woodward.
Application for an increase was filed
at the same bureau by Senator suth-
erland for Daniel Cunningham, OF
Wyatt, W. va.
Senator Sutherland secured from

George NJ. Puffenbarger has had a
commission as postmaster at Meyers,
Pendleton County, issued to him.
There is a strong sentiment among
West Virginians for the immediate
repeal of the extraordinary war pow
ers granted to the president, particu-
larly the Lever Law, which is attest
ed by the large number of letters and
Kilograms that have been reaching
the offices OF the West Virginia delc-
cation in Congress from their consti-
tuents. There are several repeal bills
pending, and there is one that was~in-
troduced in the House by Tllson, OF
New Hampshire, which is still in
committee.
The Tyson bill provides for the re-
peal OF the Lever act so far as it at.
fects tho control of coal and coke.
West Virginia coal miners aud oper.
ators appear TO be unit in favor OF
tho passage of the Tilson bill. The
continued operation of the Lever law
as it applies to coal and coke, it is
coutcnded, has hamstrung the great
industry in West Virginia. which is
felt adversely by people whose daily
life is in one way or another connect
ed with, or dependent, on the pros
perity ofNthe industry.
Il have" said Representative L. S.
Echols. OF the Sixth district, today,
been in favor of repeating all of these
extraordinary war powers, and when |
have had an opportunity to vote 10
repeal one | have not hesitated to do
so. expect TO continue to do this
until all OF them are repealed. II
there was ever any necessity Of them
that necessity has long ago ceased to
exist"
Representative Wells Goodykoontz
OF the Fifth district, favors as strong
ly repeal Of these laws as does his
livered in the House few days since:
"The wac being over, the people, ever
vigilant of their constitutional rights,
demand the repeal OF the statutory
laws THAT have vested autocratic pow
er in tho hands of the Executive"
Both of these members have been
pressing Representatives Tilson to put
forth every effort to get a hearing on
his bill before the committee without
any further postponment.

to do and didn't feel he could be a
party to wasting time. 1t was shown
clearly last night that the High school
needs Immediate attention. Discus
sions were taken part in by everyone.
The resolutions adopted at the last
Parent-Teachers' meeting were re-
viewed. Every phase of the situation
was gone over.
Not only the High school but grade
schools of the city were carefully
studied and It was found. following a
detailed account OF their capacities.
that all of the grade schools arc more
or less crowded except the Fleming
school. The Barnes and Miller schools
need attention the most. The Dunbar
school has outgrown it's present
equipment and the location there is
bad and the plant entirely inadequate.
r. I. Cunningham was the second
lets-do-it-quick speaker. and Mr..
Cunningham spoke from his heart,
saying he personally could not send
his child TO the High school another
year unless something was done at
once regarding mattersd He said 1t
fairly sickened him to thing that
some day those children might come
to disaster should a fire break out.
While on tho top floor they are in
poorly ventilated class rooms-rooms
never intended for class rooms in tho
first place. Other bad conditions were
discussed.
1t was felt that while publishing
broadcast the weaknesses of the High
school was not pleasant, the time had
arrived when nothing else remained
and the public should be, informed OF
true conditions. City Superintendent
Wilson again asked that everyone re-
member that the Fairmont High
school was a good one as far as it
went and that he considered the fac
ulty one of the best in the state, but
that through natural growth facilities
now no longer were adequate. He
said many another school was facing
the same problems that Fatrmont
faced.
The growth OF this city was said to
be matter for earnest consideration.
The brass plant and other industries
would bring many families here and
their children must be taken care of.
The population would soon reach the
10000 and up mark. What is to be
done with the children? An indus
trial high school was suggested as a
future necessity and a solvingsof the
crowded conditions. 1t was felt that
the High school did not provide suffi-
ciently for educating those who want
ed q business education, and tl1st
while certain number wanted the
college education this number was in
the minority.
Relief must be provided by next
winter, 1t was decided. After an
evenings thought it was decided to
name subcommittee to the number
of three to study three phases of the
problem of providing better school
facilities, these committees to visit
the schools and reoprt their decision.
The committees will be named by
Chairman Alexander within day or
SO.
supt. Wilson said plans had been
made for fire protection at the High
school and within ten days the con-
tract would be let, but this would not
take care of the inadequate facilities
there. More room is needed for man
+ual training and Industrial work of
all kinds. No single thing at the
High school is just right but the

Governor Denies Picking
Burr to Succeed Philbin
City Hall Rumor Exploded by
Statement That No One Has
Been Chosen for Place

Governor Smith last night denied a
report that he had selected Corporation
Counsel William P. Burr as successor
to the late Justice Eugene A. Philbn,
Of the Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court.
II have not yet considered the ap-
pontments to the recent vacancies on
the Supreme Court bench, and have
made no selections" the Governor told
reporter for The Tribune. The re-
port was current yesterday at the City
Hall that the name of the Corporation
Counsel would be submitted by the
Governor to the Senate for confirma-
tion within day or two.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Burr had
at least been on good terms with W, r.
Hearst in fighting the gas companies
and transit corporations, and his ap-
pontment by the Governor would be
unlikely on that account.
1t is understood, however, that the
Governor has a great deal of respect
and personal liking for the Corporation
Counsel and would not let the Hearst
issue stand in the way if he wanted
him for the place. 1t was said at the
Corporation Counsel's Office that moth
ing had been heard regarding the pos
sibllity of Mr.. Burr's appointment.

was freely predicted by the leading
hotel managers to-day in statements
attacking Police Commissioner Curtis
for placing police guards at dinner
dances in the hotels here.
There was no discrimination, the
bluecoats being stationed at the
dances at the Cop1ey Plaza. the Lenox
and other of the best class of hotels,
along with all others. The resentment
OF the managements knows no bounds
and every one declares it will "kill
their business"
The Police Commissioner is acting

to-day. ellis action in placing police
guards in our dancing rooms comes
without warning. 1t is absolutely un-
warranted and without reason"
The hotel men are storming the
Mayors office to ascertain whether he
intends to support the Commissioner.
They hope to have the bruecoats called
off.
That the controversy may end in the
courts was indicated in a statement by
Commissioner Curtis to-day He said
in this connection:
Whether there is a difference be-
tween public dance conducted in q
hall and tea dance in hotel is a
question the courts may have to de-

North Shore Line Told
To Run Cars at Once
Deputy Commissioner Barrett
Says Road Can Resume
With Little Effort

= Alfred NJ. Barrett, Deputy Public
Service Commissioner. yesterday di-
rected the officials of the New York
and North Shore Traction Company,
which operates trolley lines on Long
Island, to resume operation immedi-
ately. The line suspended operation on
March 2, having, been put out of COM
by the severe snow storm and
unable, according to the company Of
hcials, to raise sufficient money to clear
the tracks of snow and ice The COM
pany has been in financial difficulties
for some time. and was allowed recently
to establish zones, which gave to them
an increase in fare.
At recent hearing before the Public
Service Commission, the officials of the
road promised to resume operations
when conditions became normal. Deputy
Commissioner Barrett called the at
tention of the company officials yester-
day to the fact that conditions were
almost normal now, and that an in.
spection disclosed that with very little
work the line could be placed in oper-
alton again. He declared that the COM
pany owed an obligation to the public
to Immediately resume service.
