PARENTS PETITION
CONGRESS FOR new
EDUCATION BOARD
Would Separate Body
From District and Ex-
tend Responsibility.

Congress is urged by three score
Washington parents to place the
schools in the hands of the Board
of Education without reserve and
interference. Make the board ap-
pointive by the President of the
United States and hold it response
ble for the welfare of the pupils
is the advice received in a petition
presented to the Senate by Senator
Arthur L. Capper and referred to
the District Committee.

to Senator Capper as chairman of
the subcommittee on District schools

1t follows:
I'VE. the parents of the children
of the public schools of Washing
ton most earnestly plead that the
following needed legislation for our

sion of Congress: p. ....

That the Board of EDUCATION be
appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. It shonld
have complete authority over the
schools. their management, opera
tion and administration. 1t should
be held absolutely responsible for
good or bad schools, clean or dirty
schools, up-to-date or obsolete
schools, etc. The present; board is
responsible to no. one.
That the Board of Education be
wholly separate from the municipal
government and Independent. Of it.
In other words, IL should be held
responsible for the conditions in
the schools. .-
That a school planning commit
tee have a representative who is
a member OF the Fine Arts Com
mission, to work with them in the
planning OF school grounds No
reason why a public school should
be a blot on the landscape. II
should be a part of the city beauti-
full development. -
Want Repair Department.
That repair department under
the school board be provided. As
1t is. there is endless delay, too
much red tape-requisitions are
passed through too many hands.
No one is responsible.
THAT there be remedied the lack

being s25o,o00.
That administrative principals

DECISION APRIL |
Producers Plead for Coal
Cut, No Matter What
Action Is Taken.

One OF the three possible de-
cisions will be made by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission when
Il has completed consideration Of
the evidence and argument in the
general rate investigation. This
may be roughly indicated as fol-
lows:
l. No further reduction in -ail-
road rates and passenger fare while
the railroads are in their present
financial condition and in the alb
sence Of further reductions in op-
Grating costs-which means reduc-
tions in wages.
.. A general reduction on all COM
modities to meet the contention
that such a reduction will stimulate
business and increase the business
Of the railroads and in turn increase
thei- revenues.
,. Reductions on selected COM
modities, such as coal. steel, iron
and other basic articles.
Out of these diverging views the
commission must arrive at a de-
cision within the next few weeks.
1t is expected that the decision will
come about April /.
In the event reductions are de-
cided upon there are two ways In
which they may be made-by a
straight percentage decrease or by
specific amounts in cents per 100
pounds.
A decisive reduction in the rates
on coal. was advocated by counsel

there should be reductions In the

CO." declared Col. George II. Shan
ton. chief of the insular police OF
Porto Rico, in an interview yes
terday.
Col. Shanton. who has been chief
Of the Porto Rico insular police for
thirteen years, was an intimate

was the organizer, of the Cuban
constabula.y after the Spanish
American War. At the request OF
Mr.. Roosevelt he cleaned up" Pan

Favors Withdrawal.
Following a conference with Cab
met members and high officials Of
the state and Navy departments
Col. Shanton expressed the opinion
that all American troops would be
withdrawn from the dual republic
within the next six months. This
depends, however. upon the effort
of the Dominicans to organize a
stable government before that
time" he said.
Discussing military administra-
ton of the island government,
which has aroused so much inter-
est in the attitude of the United
States toward Latin-American
countries, Col. Shanton said: I'VE
were asked by the respective gov
ernments to go into San Domingo o
a national debt. That job is fin-
ished, but we are staying to po-
lice the island. This is clearly
beyond our rights, as the people
do not want foreign troops TO do
this. We are keeping our Ma
rines there against the expressed
wish of the people"
Charges of atrocities by Ameri-
can troops in the island have
caused widespread criticism in
South American papers and in the
United States.
Many ReprisaIs.
Col. Stanton, who has made a
personal investigation of condi-
tions in the island, states that
while stories of atrocities are ex-
aggerated, United States troops
have committed outrages against
the populace. "In this connection IL
SnOulQ DC remembered, Salu COl.
Shanton, that the so-called atroc-
tiles are practically always in re-
taliation of wrongs done by the
natives.
The greatest factor in aggra-
waiting matters is inability of the
troops to speak the native Ian
guage. In the majority of cases
the injustice arises from inability
to understand each other. / have
been in the islands for twenty-four
years and l must say that the peo-
pie are naturally gracious, kind and
liberty loving. They are, however,
easily stirred by revolutionary
leaders,"
Speaking of the natural resources

capital Is the one big need for de-
veloping these.
