PLANS SCHO0LPA
AND BUILDINGS BILL
Senator King to Frame Com.
prehensive Measure for
District.

Senator King Of Utah. democrat,
member of the Senate District COM
mittee and of the joint congressional
committee which investigated the
public schools of the District at the
last session. said today he would
prepare for introduction at the next
session bill providing for adequate
buildings and adequate salaries for
teachers
1t is Senator Kings purpose to con-
fer with Supt. Ballou in regard to the
ington.
Il hope TO have a comprehensive
measure of my own ready to offer
when Congress convenes," said Sena-
tor King. in my opinion such legis-
lation should provide a building pro-
gram which will meet existing needs
and provide for future growth. Prob
ably it will take $4,000. 900 or 10000
600 to provide the buildings neces-
sary.
If possible, the existing needs
which are great-should be met by
the construction of buildings and
their completion within the next two
years. l do not believe that a bond
issue will be necessary, but that the
revenues OF the District will be suf-
hcient. Congress must meet the stu
alton by making larger appropria-
tions. II necessary. the taxes in the
District should be increased to meet
these expenditures.
Another District problem to which
Senator King plans to give his atten-
ton during the recess and at the next
session relates to the street railways
He is convinced that consolidation of
the street car companies should be
travelling public. He offered a bill at
the last session for this purpose, and
will do SO again when Congress meets.

COESTANTINOPLE. May 11-The
fear among the Turks and the allies
that the Greeks will cause a new
conflict in the near east continues.
The news from Lausanne Is distinctly
Unsatisfactory. FeniZelos still insist
ing that Greece will pay no indemni-
~ to the Turks. while Ismet Pasha
insists that the reparation condition
is absolutely necessary, and refuses
to make any allowance for the fact
that the Greek treasury is empty.
May Give In Too Late.
1t is believed in allied circles that
and accept a nominal reparation. but
some fear that they may do so when
1t is too late. The Greek army is in
perfect fighting trim, and experts
who have seen the troops along the
Martha river declare that they are
better than ever. Officers as well as
men are full of fighting enthusiasm,
and all units are ready to march
within one hour after the order to
advance is received.
At present the Greek force along
the Martha is made up of five infan-
try divisions and one Of cavalry. all
fully equipped, while two more divi-
sions are kept in reserve. Tie oppos-
ing Turkish force is insignificant.
Fcnr Action May BE Hastened.
1t is feared by the allied officials in
Constantinople that the Greeks may
take advantage of the Bairam. the
main Turkish holiday, and hasten ac-
tion SO as to place the allies before
an accomplished fact. past experience
having shown that once things have
happened the allies are unable or un-
willing to act. In Greece the war
like spirit has increased, all the peo-
pie there realizing that 1t is the last
chance for their country.
'If we do not fight now" said
Greek general to tie writer, Greece
is lost. After the departure of the
allied troops from the near east we
are certain that war will break out
in a few months.

Anxiety over the foreign captives

troops OF the Chinese government
and members of the outlaw band

Further advices from Tsaochwang
confirmed the report that the BAN

captives was becoming increasingly
difficult
report reached Shanghai yester-
DAY that bandits entrenched back Of
Lincheng were contemplating a sortie
10 kfdnap more foreigners who have
been at Asaochwang negotiating for
the release of the captives.
TWO trains Of coal from a mine
near Tsaochwang were seized by the
bandits. The 500 troops who we're
guarding the coal were said to be
untrustworthy and likely to 20 over
to the brigands.
COnsuls Impose Censorship
The American consuls at Lincheng
and Tsaochwang have imposed a CEN
sorship on all outgoing telegrams
and letters. .. -
The bandits are reported to blame
the pending government for tenn
porizing in the promised withdrawal
of troops. The Tuchun Of Shantung
province renewed his assurance that
the troops would be moved away, but
the bandits are quoted as saying
they will hold the captives two weeks
longer.
Another phase of the situation
which is causing worry in official
circles is dissatisfaction among the
government soldiers. many of whom
have not been paid for more than
year and are on short rations.
Diplomats Again Protest.
In Peking the diplomatic corps sent
the Chinese government another
urgent communica tion, expressing
astonishment at it's failure to obtain
results and repeating a previous noti-
fication that the government would
be held responsible. Reports to
Peking were not optimistic. Negotia-
tions with the bandits were reported
deadlocked.
The bandit chief was said to be
communicating with the notorious
bandits Of Honan province, with the
object of combining and thus further
1ntimidating the government. Indef-
Mite delay in the liberation of the
captives is feared in diplomatic
circles.

DISTRICTS POPULATION CENTERS
IN PULPIT OF 5TH STREET CHURCH

The pulpit of little colored church
at 1915 5th street northwest, from
which the Rev. William j. Tyler
breaches the gospel to his flock every
Sunday morning, is the center OF
population in Washington, it was re-
vealed by the census bureau today.
Within an hour the little frame edi-
fee has passed from obscurity into
the limelight Of public attention.
The findings of the census author
tiles show that since the previous
count was taken in 1910 tho growth
Of Washington has been northward
and westward. For example, the CEN
ter Of population in 1910 was at s27
5th street. or. to be exact. 15s feet
south Of X street and Ill feet east Of
5th street.
In the 1920 cen sus the center had
moved to 222 feet north of M street
and only 81 feet east Of 5th street.
This point strikes almost exactly the
rostrum Of the Central M. e. Church.
Near Police Station.
Just across the street from this
pivotal point Of population is the
second precinct police station.

IF all the inhabitants OF the Dis
trict. he said. started from their
homes by the shortest routes-or as
the crow fiies-they would meet at
this point.
The trend of the city toward the
northwest is better illustrated by
comparing the present center with
the findings of the census of 1900.
At that time the center was at sol
4th street northwest. which is four
blocks south and one block east of
the 5th street church.
Strangely enough, this inconspicu-
Gus frame structure is in itself one
of the landmarks Of Washington. It
has been used as a colored church
for nearly forty years. and prior to
that time 1t was a public school
