BOARD FIXES AGE
LIMIT ON TEACHERS
Applicants for Elementary Ex'
aminations Must Be Under
Forty Years Old,

The Board Of Education yesterday
ruled that all persons who take the
examination for teachers for kinder
garten and elementary Glasses must
be under forty years Of age. and that
all those taking the high school ex-
animation be under forty-five years
It was decided II would be unfair
TO the present force OF teachers to
permit older persons TO become teach :
ers and receive the benefits of the
retirement law after only few years
service.
Miss A. M. Goding, principal OF the
Wilson Normal School, suggested the
abolition OF the rule requiring stu
dents OF normal schools to sign a
pledge to teach for two years after
graduation. On motion Of Mrs. Susie
Root Rhodes the suggestion was
tabled

REEVES HALF
FARE BATTLE
J. c. Wright Files Amended
Petition Urging Cut in Rate
for Children.

Renewed efforts to have the Pub
lie Utilities Commission grant half
fare rates to school children were
begun today with the filing OF an
amended petition by J. c. Wright,
514 T street northwest, one OF the
leaders in the movement.
SEES HOPE IN NEW HEADS.
With the placing of two new Com
missioners on the board, Mr.. Wright
believes that the requests made by
the various citixens' associations and
other civic organizations of Washing
ton for q reduced fare for school
children will receive careful consid-
GRAFTON by the now Commissioners.
Because OF the prevailing opinion
that the Public Utilities Commission
has ample authority to grant lower
fares for the school children, I again
request that the Commission grant
half fares to the school children of
Washington" said Mr.. Wright today.
Last September the Public Utilities
Commission declared that IL did not
have authority to establish special
rates for school children
FIGURES ARE CITED.
In his new petition Mr.. Wright
gives figures showing that the city
Of Newark. N. J., almost as large as
Washington, which has a carfare rate
of 7 cents. has . special rate for
school children of only 3 cents. Bos-
ton, Mass. is another city. he de-
clares, that transports the pupils OF
the public schools at a reduced rate.
The Boston street car law provides.
he says, that the fare for school chill
dren shall not exceed one-haif the
regular fare" charged for the trans
portation OF other passengers.
1T is earnestly hoped that the new
Commissioners will favorably con-
slider the Justice of this appeal and
grant half fare to the helpless school
children of Washington in going to
and from school in the street cars"
said Mr.. Wright.

SCHOOL FIGHT
! ST|RS COUNTY
Prince Georges Budget Strikes
Snag When Farmers 0p-
pose New Taxes.

Hearing on the school budget for
Prince Georges county before the
county commissioners yesterday at
Upper Marlboro was snlivened with
heated discussion for and against
the budget.
That the schools of the county in
many instances were in dclapidated
condition and inadequate to give
proper education to many children.
was the point made by the factions
in favor Of the budget.
HARDSHIP TO FARMERS.
On the other hand, It was pointed
out that any increase in taxes dus
to the adoption Of the budget would
mean embarrassment and financial
hardship to farmers. particularly
those growing tobacco.
After several hours discussion, the
meeting was closed without any de-
cision on the budget by the Commits
sioners. Charles A. Ryon. president
of the board. however. declared that
he believed whatever action the Com
missioners took on the budget would
be satisfactory to all hands concern
ed.
The hearing, held in the court
house at Upper Marlboro. was at
tended by representatives Of all Of
the districts Of the county. One Of
the ardent supporters of the budget
was Helen Cardozo, representing the
Federation of Colored Women Clubs.
She declared that she spoke for 500
colored mothers in the county. fur
ther saying that because Of the .n-
adequate school conditions more than
500 colored children were being de-
prived of an education.
The budget was prepared by the
county board of education. The d.
vision of sentiment between the
lower or agricultural section OF the
county and the more thickly upper
districts was pronounced. Thirty
civic and other organizations were
represented.
ASKS S3Js,1oS.
E. s. Burroughs. superintendent Of
county schools, explained In detail
the various items of the budget. The
total asked in the budget. for the
management of the schools Is $685.

Determined Effort
To Save Fox
Machinery Of Courts Being
Used to Prevent Execution
of Murderer

Columbia. Oct. 20.-Awrit Of ha-
beas corruS is being answered be-
fore Associate Justice Cothran of
the supreme court this afternoon.
in the case of the state against G..
O. Fox. one Of the murder trio. in
the death house Of the state peni-
tentiary. for the murder of Will
liam Brazell. Columbia taxi driver.
The state is to show cause why Fox
should not be allowed to appealhis
case to the supreme court.
H. A. l. Rosenberg. acting as
counsel for Fox. is asking the
court to allow Fox to appeal. re-
gardless of the fact that he failed
to serve notice Of appeal within the
legal ten days. following his con-
yiction. Rosenberg stated today
that if Justice Cothran denies the
petition and refuses to allow Fox
to yet appeal he will then take the
case to the United States supreme
court. and he holds that such an
appeal will of itself automatically
stay the Fox execution. 1t is not
known what point will be raised
if the case is taken to the United
States supreme court.
Fox is scheduled to 20 to the
electric chair Friday. SO far the
governor has not interfered with
the execution and if Rosenberg s
attempt in behalf Of his client
fails. Fox will be elcctrocuted be-
tween II and - o'clock Friday.

Tax Bill Cen
ter of Attack
Measure Hit by Democrats
and Republicans

Washington. Oct. 19.-The COM
promise tax revision bill was as
sailed today in the senate by both
Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Underwood. Of Alabama.
the Democratic leader, characteriz-
ed the measure as the worst ever
presented to congress. No one un-
derstood it, he declared, except a
few treasury experts who drew it..
and he predicted that If the bill
became law the courts would be
several years in Interpreting it.
Charging the Republicans with a
failure to be candid with the Amer
ican people, the Democratic leader
said they were trying to have 1t
go out that taxes were to be re-
duced, when. as a matter OF fact,
they would be increased through
the operation Of the administra-
tive provisions of the revenue
measure and the proposed Amerl-
can valuation plan in the tariff bill.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
hampshire. paid his respects to
the committee bin and also to the
amendments sponsored by the ag-
ricultural bloc, which he termed as
the "Ken-Cap-Klan." play on the
names of Senators Kenyon Of
Iowa, and Capper Of Kansas, lead
ers in the bloc. Endorsing the
Smoot manufactures sales tax, Sen
ator Moses declared the commit
tee bill plainly was drawn under
the inspiration of the slogan soak
the rich.

Dial Explains Vote.

washington. Oct. 1S.-In e&-
planning his vote tonight in favor
of ratification of the treaty with.
Germany, Senator Dial Of South.
Carolina, said:
Last year I did all that I could
10 secure the ratification Of the
Versailles treaty. The Republicans
saw proper to defeat it. Because
of their obstinacy they practically
bankrupted the world. They csr--.
ta;nly impoverished the country
from. which | come.
Naturally I feel that the Dem
ocrats should treat the Republicans.
regarding the Harding treaty, as
they had treated us, but knew
that l had a higher duty TO per-.
form to the people of the United
States There is no question but
that Americans want peace legal
ly established. Therefore 1 voted
for ratification. although to the
treaty there are many features re-.
pugnant to me.
My constituents are a great ex-
portins. people. Last year we pro-
duced 100000 bales of cotton and
could consume or tnat about only.
100000 bales. We have 100000
bales to sell to other nations. It is
virtually important to my people
that world conditions be quickly
stabilized so they can have a mar
kct for their surplus products.
Therefore. ratification seemed
to me a step in the right direction.
