Citations, yesterday defended the text
book and insisted that It was most
patriotic"
The volume which had caused the
criticism OF the Piney Branch. Cit
liens Association was an old one
that had been discarded, Mr.. Jones
explained in his letter.
Would Bar Other Books.
'If the Piney Branch Citizens As
sociation Is to strike Muzzey's text
book from the list for the reasons
given they will also have to take
from the list the widely-used book.
"Diyision and Reunion" by former
President Wilson" Jones declared.
This book IS most patriotic. Jones
said. but 1t likewise contains criti-
cism of government officials object
ed to by the citizens association tn
theh case of Muzzey's book.
"Muzzey's text book has been used
as a text book in the upper grades
of the high schools in Washington
for about ten years, during which
time its patriotism has not been
questioned by teachers, students nor
parents, Jones insisted. On the other
hand. many of its readers had COM
mented on its sound Amerlcanism.
Know Early History.
students and teachers alike were
amazed at the statements made by
the Piney Branch Citizens Associ-
alton. From the study of American
history in the grades. high school
students knew the stories of Ma
than Hale, Bunker Hill, Valley
Nd nN nd oil
the other men mentioned in the re-
port Of the association. This may
be proved by reading the grade
school histories" Jones pointed out.
This work is done in the grade
schools where history is TO a large
extent the study Of biography. In
the high scools We look for causes
and results and emphasize the study
OF the economic and political devel-
opment Of the country" he ex-
Reveals the Facts
TT was not many years ago when
the major part OF an American his
tory course was given over to the
study of wars and the colonial pc
riod Of our history. This happily
has been changed. Students now
get most of their colonial history
in, the grades. which makes 1t pos
sible for the teacher to take up the
national period early in the course
and to devote the last six weeks 20
the discussion OF present-day prob
lens of our government 1t is bet
ter to give more time than was
given in the past to the achieve
ments of our country in times Of
peace and TO give less time to mill
tary campaigns" Jones cOntcnded.
Quotations may be made from
every American history that has
ever been written In which the de-
partments Of the government arc
criticised. Absolute silence on such
matters does not mean patriotism
IL means that the author is afraid
IN write what he knows TO be true,
Jones declared.

MRS. VAN WRINKLE +.
DENIES CHARGES
Says Detective Bureau Is
Trying to '.Poison Minds" of
People Against Her.

Charges of insubordination to her
superior officers in connection with
the release of the two 15-year-ofd
girls arrested early yesterday morn
Ing were denied emphatically by
Lieut.. Nina C. Van Wrinkle. head
of the women's bureau of the police
department.
The charges grew out of the al
legged refusal of Mrs. Van Wrinkle
to release Gwendolyn Pell and Jane
Evans into. the custody of their
fathers. who had arrived from New
York City following notice that the
children were held by the police.
Inspector Charles Evans is said to
have ordered their release and to
have been disobeyed by Mrs. Van
Wrinkle.
In denying the charges, Mrs. Van
Wrinkle stated that it was her belief
that the detective bureau was de-
liberateIy melting inharmonious re-
lations in order to poison the
minds" of people against her.
Commissioner James F. Oyster
yesterday ordered an investigation
by Maj. Daniel Sullivan, superin-
lCHucHI OF pOllScs L1C VIII NC oS-
sisted by a representative of the
corporation counsers office.
The two girls were arrested by
Detective Sergts. Robert Livingston
and Patrick O'Brien at the Union
Station following advice from their
parents in New York to hold them.
Following their arrest they were
turned over to the women's bureau
and their parents notified.
Maj. Sullivan characterized the
affair as "a tempest in a teapot"
1T is merely a natter of admins
trative detail and has been given a
lot of undue publicity. presumably
because the lieutenant is a woman"
Inspector Evans said that he had
made his report to the superin-
tendent of police. TT is simply a
little official family affair."" he said.

Children.
OPEN PLAY LOT

Recommendations urging an in
crease in salary for the superin-
teudent OF public schools and that
n member of the school planning
committee also be a member of the
Fine Arts Commission were adopted
by the Trinidad Citizens Associa-
tion at the Blair School last night
The recommendations adopted fol-
low the line of recommendations
presented to other associations for
action with a view of having them
included-in the Capper bill.
Against New Board.
The association voted against a
recommenda tion providing for the
appointment Of members of the
Board of Education by the Presi-
dent. The District Supreme Cour:
now appoints members of the school
board, and the association expressed
the desire to have that body con-
tinue to make the appointments.
In having a member OF the FINE
Arts Commission on the school plan
ming committee. i was pointed out
that in the building of new schools
they could all be built along the
same lines.
Attention was called to the fact
that fire irons used in several
Schools in the Northeast section
were merely secured to the walls
by nails. which endangered the
lives of children. A resolution was
adopted asking that the fire irons,
when not in use, be adjusted to the
walls more securely, making re-
mote the possibility OF them fall
ing.
To Build Background.
Immediate action by Congress on
the bill providing for the acqulsi-
ton of the Patterson tract was
urged in a resolution which was
adopted.
An amount necessary to pay for
the grading OF a baseball field near
Fifteenth and II streets northeast,
for use of the boys in the North
east section, will be withdrawn
from the treasury OF the assocla-
tion,- following the unanimous con-
sent of the members at the meet
ing. Don York, president of the

MINERS SCORE
U.S.. ATTITUDE
Secretary Green Criti-
cises Warning From
Daugherty.
CLAIM UNFAIRNESS
Declares Action Should Pro-
ceed Against Employers
At Once.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 23.-Criti-
cising the statement of Attorney
General Daugherty warning the
miners against violence, as pre-
mature" william L. Green, secrc-
tary-treasurer of the miners, de-
elared in a statement last night that
the operators have already commit
ted violence by refusing to confer on
a new agreement
The Attorney GeneraN of the
InitedN States, Mr.. Daug1erty, Is
certainly premature in Issuing 4
warning to the miners against vio-
lence..' said Green. There is no dis
order in sight among the coal MIN
ers nor is any violence threatened.
Tht suspension will not take place
for almost ten days. II the Attorney
General wants to put down violence
why does he not proceed against the
coal operators who pubicy admit
violation of an agreement? They
constitute the ony group which thus
far has committed violence.
Menace TO Public.
In refusing to comply with an
agreement which they solemnly
made and Reinforcement of which
they pledged their honor and busi-
ness integrity they have menaced
the public peace and the public
welfare. A group of men which does
violence to an agreement is no less
guilty than those who commit vio-
lence during public stress and tur-
moiL
The Attorney General certainly
would have a right to act in order
to prevent the coal operators from
committing violence because the
government is in reality a party
to the existing agreement, Through
the order Of the President of the
United States the existing agree
men was consummated. Surely the
Attorney General and those in
charge of the government can eX-
ercise some legal or moral force
which would require the coal op-
orators to carry out an agreement
TO which the government Is a
party.
Acted Against Miners.
Two years ago the government
compelled the miners to do what it
wanted done. The miners were
subjected to court proceedings.
Their leaders were arrested and
the executive, judicial and military
branches of the government were
utilized in order to compel the
miners to return to work. The
government through the Attorney
General has threatened to take
drastic action again, If necessary.
in order to produce coal which is
50 indispensable in operating the
transportation systems of the na-
ton
THE Department of Labor has
failed in its efforts to persuade
the coal operators to comply with
an agreement and now comes the
Attorney General warning the
miners against violence. The only
impression which can be obtained
from an analysis of the attitude of
the government is that, tf-neces-
sary, the miners will be coerced
and the forces of government will
be used against them in order to
guarantee a production of coal. but
the coal operators may commit Vto-
lence by refusing to carry out
their contract and at the same time
receive the protection of the gov
crnment"
