Dr.. Frank ". Ballou Reelected
Superintendent of Public Schools

to Serve An0ther
Three Years.
Tribute Is
Paid for His Past
Administration.

DR.. Frank W. Ballou was reelected
superintendent Of schools for another
term OF three years yesterday after
noon by the board Of education. His
present term expires June so.
t DR.. Abram Simon. president Of the
board. who relinquished the chair to
make the speech OF nomination. paid
a glowing tribute to DR.. Ballou's ad-
ministration of the schools. He
pointed out that the superintendent
had refused positions of higher re-
muneration In order to remain In
Washington. and expressed regret over
the inability Of the board to offer him
q more attractive salary.
DR.. Ballox Accepts
A simple speech of acceptance was
made by Supt. Ballou. He voiced his
gratitude for the confidence of the
board and declared that he would en-
ter. upon tho new term Of Office with
the enthusiasm that was his when he
first took up his duties in Washing
ton. Whatever his success has been,
DR.. Ballou said. has been due to the
cooperation Of his associate oficers
and the school board.
In nominating DR.. Ballou for q Sec
ond term DR.. Simon said:
The three-year term for which DR..
Ballou was elected as superintendent
Of the schools Of Washington Is
drawing to close. A review OF this
period registers a steady upward
growth, not only In his grasp OF the
details and program of education In
the District Of Columbia. but also in
his own expanding influence and
reputation as an educator in the
United Statex The superintendency
Of schools In Washington calls for
more than teaching technique and ad-
ministrative ability. 1t demands .

Statesmanlike qualities.

we OF the board herewith reSistsr
our unhounded appreciation OF the
services which DR.. Ballou has rem
dered to our community. We are not
unmindful Of the fact, and 1t wins our
warm admiration. that DR.. Ballou's
abiding faith in the strategic position
which Washington occupies as IN
educational center has not tempted
him to leave Washington for othar
folds Of usefulness by offers OF larger
emolument.

BY . vote Of s to !. the board voted
to close the schools on Tuesday, June
). to permit the pupils to witness the
Shrine parade. The negative vote
was cast by James T. Lloyd.
Considerable discussion developed
over proposals to give the school chill
dren time OF to view tho Shrine week
activities. Supt. Ballou pointed out
that .there were pronounced opinions
both for and against any holidays
for the children during the week.
Many parents. he said. contended that
their children would be safer in the
schools when the city is crowded.
Mr.. Lloyd also shared this view and
offered the proposition Of keeping
the schools open. but not to interfere
with parents In holding their children
out Of school.

Attend Governors Call

State Senator w. A. Jackson of this
city attended the highway conference
called by Governor McRae last Thurs
day to consider the calling Of an extra
session of the legislature, and in an
interview with reporters for state
newspapers gave out the following
statement:
81 think the people Of my section
of the state are in favor Of highway
construction and the maintenance of
of the roads after they are built
"We think" Senator Jackson said,
"that Arkansas should have Federal
aid and proceed with its building pro-
gram. But of course this will take
more money than we have in sight
under present laws and / will favor an
increase to five cents a gallon in the
gasoline tax and its division equally
between the state highway fund and
the counties, the distribution to the
counties to be made as under the pres
ent Emory act. Also, will favor. and
think represent the sentiment of my
constituents, increasing the auto Ii
cense on the public service cars such
as iitney buses and commercial trucks
to some amount commensurate with
their use of the roads and $3.50 di-
vision of this tax also"
Senator Jackson said also that he
considered the laying of an occupation
tax to be scaled according TO the sal
ary, wages etc, to be an equitable
means of acquiring revenue for the
state, and that he intended present
ing such a bill If special session were
called. The proceeds could be paid in
to the general revenue fund. he said,
and later appropriated for the use of
the highway department in building
and maintaining roads.

MOTORMAN POINTS OUT
MAN IN CROWD AS ONE
WHO ROBBED HIS CAR
Prisoner Denies Guilt and
Says He will Probe
His Innocence.

Suspected as one of two mon who
held up and robbed A. W. Chamberlain,
9OJ Gladstone avenue, mOtorman and
conductor Of a one-man South San An
tonic car. the night of December 30. a
Mexican. 80. was placed in the city jail
at 7:10 Saturday night.
He was pointed out TO Traffic PO-
liccman Harry Roberts by Chamberlain
on West Houston street, who claimed
the Mexican was one of the two who
held him IN at the point OF pistols.
Chamberlain at detective headquarters
added that he was certain in his iden-
tificatiOn.
When the street car man pointed out
the man, whom he picked out on the
crowded streets, Policeman Roberts de-
tanned him and notified central head
quarters. Detectives McMurray and
Norton were detailed and took the pris-
Oner to headquarters.
He protested arrest and declared he
is innocent. He claimed he would be
able to prove an abb when a hearing
is granted.
The street car holdup occurred at
10 80 at night. Two men. whom Cham
berlain described as Mexicans, boarded
his car in Collins Gardens while it
was outbound. The robbery. was exc
cuted when the car started on the re-
turn trip and while in South San An
tonic. A Mrs. MOckert, whose address
the police did not learn, boarded the
car and was robbed of so cents she had
in her purse. Both men displayed pis-
tolls and while one kept him covered
with a weapon the other robbed the
conductor, obtaining $40. They stepped
from the car and ordered the motorman
10 drive on,
