with respect to the status of the Pa

exchanges between them on the sub
ject is continuing. but those to date
were made public today. both in

formal notes.
Japan, in its last communication re-
ceived here In the closing days of the
Wilson administration, insisted that
II had been awarded n mandate for
the island by the supreme council ut
Paris. on May Z. 1919. ana that II
could not agree with the American
contention that irrespective of any
award OF mandate other nations
should have free access to the island
for the landing and operation of
cables.

In replying to this note. Secretary
Hughes on April stated cmphat-
ically that the United States would
not be bound by any action either Of
the supreme council or of the league
of nations. ana that as no one had
ever been authorized to surrender
or cedc" the right of the United
States in the island the American
government could not ."recognize the
ALLEGATION of the island or the valid
ity of the mandate to Japan"

Capt. Carey would not discuss this phase
of the mystery. He said. however that

The police do not expect that the
clothing found wound around the dead
girls head will be OF any great value in
solving the crime What laundry marks
they contained were so obliterated that
they could not be disoerned by the naked
eye. The clothing will be submitted to
a microscopic examination. The raffio

fingers is not considered OF much value
as clue because it has been found

hair. Detective Caputo took him over
to the Inorgue but he could not identity
the dead girl.

twenty years ago are the De Witt Clin-
ton, Wadleigh and Stuyvesant high
schools All OF them have deteriorated
in external appearance and now present
shabby appearance in comparison
with public and private buildings in the
vicinity"
OF Wadleigh High School the report
is:
THE general dirty appearance Of the
whole building is accentuated by the
lack OF paint and varnish Individual
classes, through the aid OF students
committees on sanitation, help by DUST
ing daily
Another sharp criticism made OF the
general condition OF the schools Is:
Blame might seem 10 attach 10 the
janitors. but as Q rule the janitors are
conscientious and efficient to the extent
that is possible with the funds and the
assistance at their disposal
Lack of sanitary carefulness Is de-
plored and the following general state
ment is made
There is probably not single wash
room in a public school building in the
city that is screened to keep out the
flies"
Lack OF water for Mushrooms, lack
of soap. lack OF many conveniences for
cleanliness are noted. Actual danger
of disease and infection in washrooms
is stated to exist. Tho plain statement
is made that as rule the public schools
are not clean places. hardly At for clean
children to be III.
Many children" says the report,
have known higher standards. For
these the school acts as a stimulus TO
social degradation. To those children
from less favored homes the school has
little to offer in the way OF encourage
ment for healthful living"

Health and Sanitation Standards in

The Teachers Union of the City of
New York, a non-political organiza-
tton, has issued report on the physi-
cal condition Of the public schools
which states the results of q survey
made by members in sixty-one school
buildings. Reports made ny these
members themselves teachers, assert
that buildings are dirty within and
without, untidy in many respects. in
sanitary in important particulars, and
generally speaking objects of neglect.
The report bears the name OF Henry
Fl. Linville, president of the union.
THE schools reported on represent
in varying number all the five bor-
oughs," the report states. "rhe iden-
tity OF the schools is not a matter OF
special Importance. since the condi-
tons described prevail throughout the
city. 1t may be said at the start that

only here and there throughout the
city will one come upon q school build

general the school building externally
IS among the least tidy in the block.
The sum OF this general delinquency
is TO be found in such details as the
lack of recently laid paint. in broken
and dirty windows and In chalk dec
