 both the noW school building and ,h. Landers, frary & Clark plant, yes-

TEACHERS PAY BILL
Enactment PREDICTED
Measure, Already Passed by House,
May Be Reported to Senate To-
day-King Favors Changes.

The school teachers pay bill will
be reported to the Senate and placed
on the calendar by tomorrow, in the
opinion Of Senator King of Utah.
ranking Democrat member of the
Senate District committee.
Senator King reiterated his belief
that the teachers pay bill would be
enacted into law. 1t has already
passed the House. Senator King said
that the salary schedules for the
teachers would remain practically un-
changed as they came from the
House. He desires some amendment,
however, reducing some of the SAL
aries for the supervisory officers.
Senator Capper, chairman of the
subcommittee on public schools, favors
reporting the bill without the re-
duction suggested by Senator King.
1t is considered likely that the com
mittee will follow the House rates
throughout the bill when it makes its
reports.
Senator King said that, IL possible,
members Of the committee would con-
fer today with Supt. Bal1ou and the
District Commissioners in regard to
the bill He said there was no in

Mrs. William Fellows Morgan of

not reflect the attitude of the local
associations.
Members Of the students assembly

themselves to attempt to eradicate
the causes of war in a resolution
outlawing war as IAN international
crime" The organization made it
clear, however, that it would not try
to influence it's members in case of
war. Miss Rachel Dunaway of the

assembly, declared that fapperism
was ''passe" and that good times must
be sacrificed to principle in the in
terests Of a "more sensible rela-
tionship' between boys and girls.

Citizens OF Forest Glen, Silver
Spring, Woodside, Linden and Capitol
View unanimously opposed substitu-
tion of the present Washington Rail-
way and Electric street car service
to Forest Glen with a bus line at a
meeting attended by 800 persons in
the Woodside School last night.
The assembly adopted q petition,
which will be sent to the Maryland
public service commission, outlining
their views. The petition, in addi-
tion to opposing the elimination of
the street car service, asks for the
abolition of the railroad crossing on
the car line.

the street car company, said the line
was not earning money on the
S200, 900 investment in the Forest Glen
branch. He declared that the COM
pany earned a profit of $4,000 over
the operating expenses of the branch
last year, but that this did not ao-
count for dividends on money in

HAS TAKEN ALL STEPS.
Bissell Notifies Department Moth
ing More Is Possible.

Lieut.. Clayton L. BisseN, advance
officer for the Army world flight ex-
pedition, advised the War Depart
ment today in a dispatch from Dutch
Harbor, Alaska, that nothing more
could be done on the Pacific side of
the peninsula to locate Maj. Fred
erick L Martin, commanding officer
of the squadron, who has been miss
ing since April 2S.
Everything possible has been
started on north side of the penin-
sula," Lieut.. Bissell said, adding that
the cutter Algonquin would be sent
into the Bering sea to search that
side of the peninsula If nothing de-
veloped at Chignik, where the ship
now is leading the search for the
missing officer.
The cutter Haida arrived yester-
day at Unalaska. where her officers
conferred with the commander of the
Bering sea patrol force. The Haida
will sail Sunday and continue along
the westward route followed by the
three Army machines which are con-
tinuing the flight without waiting for
Maj Martin to be found.

sure fine. Here's a letter I wish you
would mail to my wife on the first
boat out" And with that they had
hoped into a small boat and rowed
out to the waiting plane
All the territory on the north shore
of the peninsula has been covered by
boats from the Nichols cannery and
Fort Moller up to within seventy five
miles of the Seal Islands. These
islands are at the northern end Of the
watershed, which runs from Chignik
across the Alaskan Peninsula to the
Bering Sea. AS the Port Moller tug
boat left that port yesterday, there
lis every reason to suppose 1t has
reached the islands by this time.
In the meantime the crews of the
coast guard vessels are straining
every nerve to rush the work of res
cue. We are pinning our hopes either
on word from Unangashik or the
Seal Islands. The flyers have been
lost now for Eve days, but with their
spare rations and Mrs. Osmund's
sandwiches there is still a chance
that they may be rescued alive. =
