JANITORS TO MAKE
FINAL INSPECTIONS
New Orders Call for Round
of School Rooms Before
Locking Doors.

Janitors of all the public schools in
Washington will be cautioned today
at the direction Of their supervising
principals TO make a final round of all
school rooms in their charge before
locking any school at night, In order
to make impossible a repetition OF the
case of Miss Alice Berry, found dead
in her school room at 1 a. m. yes
terday. The order originates in the
office of Assistant Superintendent
Stephen E. Kramer.
Personal Investigation of the situa-
ton at the 'Towner School was made
Yesterday by Assistant Superintendent
kramer, r o. wilmarth. financial
clerk for the schools, and II. S. NC
Queeny, in charge Of janitors. Follow
ing their investigation they exonerated
Janitor Ferdinand Deigelman OF any
carelessness or neglect in the matter.
But they also decided that a new rule
must be made to protect against the
possibility of a person dropping in
faint while at school and not being
discovered promptly.
Miss Berry, according to the story
of Mr.. Deigelman. customarily re-
manned late In her room. While he
was sweeping on her floor at about
4 O'Clock Wednesday she spoke to him
Of having sent out for a bottle Of
milk which now she had decided she
did not want and she asked il in his
opinion 1t would remain over night
without souring.
Deigelman soon after heard her tell
the remaining children that they had
better get ready to go as she herself
was about to leave. Then he went
to different part of the building to
work Later when he had finished he
rang a hand bell as warning and even
called up the stairway to make sure
