tack upon me by Mr.. Snowden Ash
ford is that until this most astonish-
ing incident of Saturday night, Mr.
snowden Ashford has always main
tained the attitude of the closest
friendship for men. l have discussed
the affairs of the schools and the
use of the repair fund with him not
once but 30 or 40 times during the
past two and one-half years"
Knew All Details Well.
"Mr. Snowt1en Ashford. more than
any other citizen of the District of Co
lumb;a. has had an opportunity for
nearly three years of knowing init
mately and in detail what We're the
policies of the committee on buildings
and grounds and the policies Of this
Board of Education. and | might say
he has been quite complimentary over
the methods in which it was being
handled. | have had these talks with
Mr. Ashford in his office, in my Of
fiice, In his home and in the Dis
trict repair shop
This criticism, however, Of malad
minstration is not particularly
serious matter. 1t is a matter of Opin-
ion. ] think we have administered the
funds we'll; Mr.. Ashford thinks we
nave administered Inen1 very tH'liE, ,
and il does not make any particular
difference what Mr.. Ashford thinks or
what | think. The fact remains that
the Board of Education is doing the
best it can with the little bit of money
which is allowed for the maintenance
of A great educa tional plant. The ac-
cusation of the misuse of funds. how
ever. is a much more serious matter.
I'm regard to these expenditures of
the repair fund, particularly with
reference to this particular class of
expenditures to which Mr.. Ashford
refers.
Open to Criminal Libel.
"Mr. Ashford has made a deliberate
accusation, which, in my opinion,
renders him liable to action on the
part of any member of This board
either for criminal liba or for
slander. / think this board should
demand of the congressional commit
tee that they call upon Mr.. Ashford
to prove his statement.
II think we have reached the point
where we must do away with this
loose talk, this loose criticism, this
apparent ability to say anything
about the Board of Education and get
away with it. Here we have got some
thing which has gone a little bit too
far.
Now let US see just for a moment

there is just one matter which /
would like to make a matter of record
and find what this paragon of virtue
this man who has q corner on all
the honesty and morality in the Dis
trict of Columbia--did when he was
the municipal architect.
AZ understand that he resigned be-
cause somebody wanted him to do
something that he did not think was
honest, and this WAS one of the
things that he does not think was
honeSt--the use OF 4 fund not for re-
pairs and replacement and equipment;
and we spend money out Of that for
equipment as we'll as for the compile
ton of a heating plant or something
like that.
Il have been told. and / firmly be-
lieve it to be 81 statement of fact,
that Mr.. SnOwden Ashford built, as
municipal architect. the addition to
the Petworth School and when the
addition to the Petworth School was
completed there was no heating plant
in it and there was no money for it.
and then Mr.. Ashford requested the
board to spend $4,000 for a heating
plant for the Petwcrth School.
Cites Another Example.
II understand Mr.. Ashford built the
Blow School, and when he built the
Blow School he roughed in the plumb
ing for a second floor teachers lava
tory, and then he had It all torn out
and denied it's existence, but when
they dug in the cellar they found all
the sewer connections for lit.
Mr.. Ashford has talked to me not
once but score of times about arti-
fetal lighting in the schools. lie built
the addition to the Powell School, and
was to put electric lights in 1t. What
did he do? lie put the light over the
teachers desk and said the children
could get along without 1t.
These are few incidents I have
dug out. l have not the time to go
into the completed record. l think
this board should take a very definite
action. | think. perhaps, we have
been irritated beyond the point Of en-
durance. I know / have. If the rest
of the board feels as l do then YOU
will come to the support Of your for
mer chairman of the committee on
buildings, grounds and equipment"

Peculiar Safety Devices

Devices for human safety always
have been favorites with inventors.
Back in the 1S70s, when buildings
were growing taller, ingenious
minds turned freely to the inven-
ton of new-fangIed fire escapes.
One of the Oldest Of these, says
Popular Science Magazine, Is in the
form of a parachute attached to a
headgear worn by the escaper.
With this, declared the inventor,
"a person may safely jump out of
burning building from any height
and land, without injury and with
out the least danger, on the
ground"
To make doubly sure of such a
landing he further provided over
shoes with thick rubber soles ito
