ness district, was gutted by fire.

floor at 1890 o'clock tonight after
it had el:eady go'ten wei under
way The cause of the blaze had not
been determined late tonight. The
loss will amount to from $4,000 to
100000, partially covered by insur-
ance.
Insufficient water pressure handi-
capped the firemen at beginning and
they rendered heroic service under
adverse circumstances. They were
unable to save the Edgerton build
ing which was a mass of flames from
roof to basement within a few min
utes after the blaze was discovered
Firemen were forced to confne
their efforts to saving adjoining busi-
ness buildings several of which were
damaged. At 1890 o'clock the fire
had been gotten under control.
The Henley Furniture Company,
which occupied the first floor of the
Edgerton building, are the heaviest
losers. Practically all of the Offices
on the second floor were occupied by
lawyers, who were able to salvage
many of their belongings. The third
floor was occupied by a young mems
club.
The burned structure was one of
the handsomest brick buildings in
the city.

ADVOCATES LADY

Chicago, Sept. 15.-If there were
more women preachers in the pulpit
there would be more men in the
churches, Miss Madeline Souther,
president of International Associa-
ton of Women Preachers, told mem
bers of that organization at their
conference here.
Miss Southard accused men of
tfeminizing the church. and as
serted if there were more women
preachers more men would become
interested in the church work.
Quoting Frances Willard she said,
MEN have been preaching for
1000 years and a large majority of
their converts have been women.
Suppose the women should share the
preaching power would not the ma

ARBUCKLE AND THE MOVIES.

More than 800 theatres in New
York city have barred the Fatty
Arbuckle' films in response to
public sentiment which is Mortified at
the gruesome details. of the tragedy
which caused the death of a young
actres in the apartments of the film
comedian. So greatly is Gotham in
censed that whenever Arbuckle's
picture appears, the audience Kisses
until the slide is removed, and in
many instances theatre managers an
nounce that their patrons tear from
the bill boards every advertisement
referring to him.
Quite naturally one is surprised
that gay New York with its multitude
of views, and mental attitudes, and
easy ways of living should take such
a position with reference to one who
has made the mistake of being
caught, but it shows the trend of
public sentiment, and it is healthy
sign.
The moving picture is today the
greatest medium of education and
mind direction in the world. It's in
tluence affects the trend of thought
and the ways of people more than
any other activity. Especially does it
affect the mind of the young, be-
cause it is the youth of the country
mainly who frequent moving pictures.
and in their undeveloped state, the
minds of the young appreciating i'm
practical and thrilling situations are
affected by what is thrown upon the
screen.
: 1t is good sign when the people
Of the country become incensed when
they read that the men and women
who entertain them every evening
are living the lives such as has been
exposed by Arbuckle in his escapades.
Water cannot rise higher than it's
source and the thought and acts of
the actors must in some way enter
into the making of the pictures.

police report.
Other federal agents were convers-

himself in the heart. the police said.

We're returning to Manhattan with
confiscated drugs valued at $4,000
and liquor valued at $4,000. F'itz-
patrick was twenty-eight years old
and before joining the federal forces
here lived in Bridgeport. Conn.
Other federal agents declared they
knew no motive for Fitzpatrick S
suicide. They expressed the belief
that the excitement and strain of the
raid temporarily deranged him.
United States Marshal Power, thirty
deputy marshals and twenty policemen
were sent to the King Alexander after
the suicide was reported to the authori-
ties, to arrest all members of the crew
on board and take them to the federal
building for questioning.
The raid was under the direction of
Ernest l.. Langley. chief federal en-
forcement agent in New York. The
agents searched the vessel thoroughly,
the crew fleeing before them below
decks. There were intermittent pistol
shots from both crew ard agents as
the search progressed and when the
battle subsided three of the wounded
men were found lying in their hunks.
None of the prohibition agents was
wounded
Mr.. Langley said that $500 had just
been paid by one of the advance
agents and part of the contraband
articles delivered when the crews

TEACHERS MAY WIN

OFFICIALS STANDING PAT
Have Hope That Commissioners of

With school authorities standing

In the school system in the budget

In the opinion of some District Off
Gals
The Commissioners already have
slashed 100000 from the Original
estimates for $12.0O0,00O. but the cut
ting process. it was said today, has
not yet affected the salary schedule.
In reducing the estimates 1t is ap-
parent that the Commissioners gave
some tntimation that they would
probably use the scissors on the in
creased pay scale. School officials
upon learning this hurried to the Dis
tr1ct building and pleaded with the
city heads to approve the increases
they inserted in the budget.
Other Cities Studied.
The new salary schedule was draft
ed by school authorities after a care
full study of wages paid school en-
ployes in various cities throughout
the United States. 1t is designed to
give the Washington school workers
a wage which will compare favorably
with that received by school employees

Increases provided for teachers in
the estimates range from $500 a
year basic for superior high school
teachers to 5000 for elementary
school teachers. A raise of $1,000 a
year is provided for principals of the
Junior high schools, while the high
ana normal school heads are slated
Tor an increase of $1,000 annually.
Perhaps the most urgent of the in
that provided for the clerks in the
school system. 1t is pointed out that
the salaries now paid the clerks are
by no means sufficiently high to re-
tHin a trained force or to secure
trained material to fill vacancies and
new positions. The pay of the clerks
Is far below that of similar employees
OF the federal government and in
many instances Is below that of SINH

with low entrance salaries and
small chance for promotion" said an
official, 1.-The public school system can
secure. only the most inexperienced
clerk. Weeks and months are then
spent in his training. but as ex-
perience is gained and the clerk
grows more valuable he yields to
the attractive offer of positions out
side the public school system, and in
stead of becoming an asset, the cost
OF his training becomes liability
which Is ever increasing"
Clerks receiving a minimum of $3.50
a year are recommended for an in
crease of $240 annually in the budget
Librarians in the schools also are
provided with an increase of 5000 q
year.
One of the items in the budget
which probably will not be elimi-
mated is a provision for the creation
of paid corps of twenty-five sub
stitute teachers. Such corps of
teachers has been the aim of school
authorities for years and has been
pointed out by Supt. Frank w. Ballou
as one of the fundamental needs of
the District public school system.

Sees Germany Leading World
In Use Of Commercial AnPlane

and the "Sablatnig" between Bremen
and Berlin. All these are two-passen-
ger machines and equipped with power
full motors of over 200 horsepower.
AS these high-powered motors are
quite out of proportion to the weight
of the planes, and the machines have
to carry and consume an enormous
amount of gasoline, the German COM
panies lose twice or three times the
passenger fare on every trip made.
Hopes for the Future.
LAS soon as the ban on Germany's
building of airplaines is removed
Germany will put into effect a net
work of airplane lines that will sur
prise the world" says a director OF
the Deuische Luftreederei, an air
plane Company that is subsidized by
the Hanburg-America line and the
General Electric Company.
At recent meeting othe Delag

ents and rights to the Zeppclins. one
CT the directors announced that h.
lad well founded hopes that in the
rot distant future Germany would be
allowed again to build airships and
airplanes for commercial purposes
and that the Zeppelin company had
received offers of financial assistance
from capitalists in the United States
and SoutI: America.
In a few year:s regular Zeppelin
pa assenScr service will connect Eu-
rope and the North and South Amer
lean continents" he asserted.
While prohibited from building air
planes and airships. aviation experts
here are continually working on new
types of motors and pls mes. There is
much experimenting Though Ger
many. and it is safe to say that when
the time comes for Germany's air
craft industsy to blossom out in, 4
large number of new inventions will
be placed on the market and perhaps
give Germany the leadership in the
