year program including those already
appropriated for, said the bureau, will
provide q tOtaH Of 407 elementary class
rooms. II the \program is carried out
as originally planned the shortage will
practically be eliminated by the end OF
1880. declared the report.
The report described "as duplication
OF effort" the present plan of recon-
mending awards In connection with the
procurement OF supplies and equipment
This objection may be overcome, 1t was
added. by establishing a board of award
for school supplies and equipment, con-
sisting of not less than three nor more
than five members appointed by the
Commissioners.
Warehouses Needed.
The bureau found mo entirely salts
factory system of storage and distrib,l-
ton OF supplies and equipment can be
mace effective for the public schools
until ADEQUATE storage space is pro-
vided." The present storehouse, it was
held. does not contain sufficient floor
space. 1t Is poorly arranged for storage
purposes and it is so located that
double handling and double truckage is
necessary. Adequate space for the re-
ce1pt. inspection, storage and distribu-
ton OF school supplies should be pro-
vided in the proposed Government
warehouse. according to the bureaus
recommendation.
Because of the unsatisfactory store
house conditions. the report said the
inspection OF supplies and equipment
cannot be placed on an entirely satis-
factory basis. Under the heading of
repair and alteration of buildings the
report says:

It Is believed that any decision by Con-
gress In the matter Of an elective Board
OF Education would only follow the
granting OF the franchise in the District.
The plan OF organization Of the Wash
ington school system Is generally salts
factory. In the bureaus opinion, land
under proper management. should ade-
Quately serve its purpose OF securing an
economical and efficient administration
Of the public schools" Explaining Il
had no radical changes to recommend.
the report added, I'VE do feel that sew
eral changes should be made in order
to secure q more effective operation OF
the school system"
Recommendation Made
These recommendations included:
Transfer Of supervision OF the white
junior high schools from the first
assistant superintendent TO the assist
ant superintendent in charge OF the
organization and management OF ele-
mentary schools: authority OF the SUI
pervising principals should be extended
TO include the organization OF junior
high schools In their respective oivi-
sions: the two positions of white ana
colored directors of kindergartens
should be abolished when the present
incumbents have retired and their du-
ties transferred. respectively. to the
white assistant superintendent: In
charge OF instruction In elementary
schools and the colored director OF pri-
mary instruction.
Explaining that the Park View School
cannot be considered typical OF the
modern platoon school as operated in
other cities. the bureau recommends
that the board undertake a platoon
school experiment by establishing two
platoon schools, one white and one col
ored, by adapting 10 this purpose two OF
the new standard l6-room elementary
school buildings. II Is further urged
that these two platoon schools should
be paired with the two non-piatoen
schools. similar in size and in compost
ton Of population.
Shortage Is Seen.
Taking up the five-year building pro-
gram. the report said that ut the time
OF the laws enactment the pro-
gram would cost $40. 1875 900. On this
basis appropriations Of $4.037.0 900 an
nuaily for five years would have been
necessary TO complete the program as
planned, Appropriations applicable TO
the projects included In the five-year
building program during the fiscal
years 1926. 1927 and 1923 totaled
50. 257 $50. and at the annual rate Of
81 ,037 900 contemplated by the act a
total Of 900 would have been
necessary for these three years The
program will therefore be g.. a53.T50 In
arrears at the close OF the present fiscal
year, the bureau declared.
Construction items In the 1923 appro-
priation act will result In reduction
OF about 40 rooms In the general
shortage Of school space, The buildings
still 10 be constructed under the f1ve.

MACKEY OWNER
OF MATERIALS
NOT Ed POWELL

1t appears that in the story Of
the ,Gadsden fire on Wednesday
there was an error in the state
ment that the building material
which was in the hotel to he used
in the remodeling of the building
was owned by Ed Powell. The ma
terial was all owned by F. o.
Mackey, owner of the hotel struc-
.ture, and that the work was being
done by Mr.. Powell on day force
account.
The results of checking up odds
and ends on the loss of the hotel
have already made it apparent, ac-
cording to those engaged in that
work, that Mackey's loss will ma
terially exceed what even those in
position to have fairly good no.
tion of the situation had believed
it would be. That comes because
of the fact that there was a sub
stantial amount of material in the
building yet to be used in the re-
modelling and that the remodeling
already done had cost considerably
more than it had generally been be-
lieved The remodeling, in certain
portions of the building, had been
but little short of complete new
construction.

in conjunction with the hotels, is
planning to compile a list of rooms
not only for use now but for it's
use on all occasions and people are
asked to call the chamber by tele-
phone and advise il they have rooms
and the number. location, etc. That
will be made a permanent record and
and will be available on the occasion
of conventions that may be held in
the city.
The remark OF Mrs. Garcia carries
a truth that a good many people
of Douglas probably had no; realized.
Those who had thought that the loss
of the Gadsden had brought a pail
of gloom over the city and forced
every visitor TO steep out III the open
or drive to some other town when
night approached were unconsciously
CHASING Douglas as "one hotel
town. 1t is far from that. 1t is
the plan OF the chamber OF commerce
to try 10 get a list OF available rooms
in the other hotels of the city as
quickly as possible and it hopes to
be able to announce by Sunday just
how many hotel rooms there are
in Douglas with the loss of the
Gadsden deducted. 1t is expected that
the result will show the city is we'll
equipped to handle all the tourist
trade by opening a few rooms "a

W IND DAMAGES
OBSERVATORY AT
MT. LOWE, CALF.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 P1-De-
Istructive winds attaining a velocity
of 60 miles an hour swept over
southern California wednesday
night and early today, leaving in
its wake thousands of dollars
worth of damage to Mt. Lowe OBJ
servatory, indirectly causing the
death of boy and leaving many
towns sand-flooded, with uprooted
trees, telephone poles down and
roofs torn from houses.
At 4 o'clock this morning a great
gust of wind, hot with the breath
of the desert, ripped the dome off
the Mt. Lowe observatory.
The wind whipped about the in
side of the structure and demolish-
ed the 16-inch objective equatorial
telescope housed there. Only the
lens escaped destruction.
The nearby sister observatory on
Mt Wilson escaped damage. The
storm was cratic In Los Angeles
it caused little damage and was
scarcely felt at the harbor.
Two airplane hangers and the
housed by them at Glendale
were almost totally destroyed. A
school girl was hurt when limt
was blown from tree and struck
her.
Telegraph wires also suffered az
the hot desert wind blew lines to-
cether and flayed them with the
tree tops.
Union Pacific officials stated that
the damage to crops in the citrus
area had been extensive. No esti
mate has been placed on the dam

BUTLER SPIKES
G. 0. P. RUMORS
OF LEAVING K.C.

WASHINGTOS, Feb. 8 H1-W Wide
ly circulated reports that the re-
publican national committee might
take the national convention away
from Kansas City evaporateG today
when Chairman William M. Butler
announced that such action is not,
and never was contemplated.
He made this statement after a
meeting of a part Of the committee
charged with perfecting arrange
ments for the June convention and
after there had been moro or less
speculation as to whether hotel fa-
Cilities would accommodate the vast
crowd which the convention will
draw to Kansas City.
The. committee heard report
from delegation from Kansas
City, on the number of rooms avail
able for the 5000 delegates, alter
mates, newspaper men and conven-
ton officers. The report listed
about 440O rooms, which Impress
cd the arrangements committee as
being adequate.
After the meeting, Chairman But
Ter issued the following statement:
''The national committee made
its decision in December to hold the
convention in Kansas City and that
was final There never has been
any thought of taking it away
from Kansas City.
"This meeting was not called
with any thought of undoing what
the committee did last December
"We are of the impression that
there will be enough rooms for ev-
erybody. The meeting today was
concerned with details and perfect
ing of housing plans so that every
one will know just where they are
going to stay before the convention
meets"
The chairman said that there
would be another meeting of the
committee on Mar. 8, at which a
final report from Kansas City is
expected.

Hot Motor Causes
Fire Alarm From
Fuel and F eed Store

A fire alarm was turned in from
the Douglas Fuel and Feed Co. at
the corner of G avenue and Fifteenth
street at 113O D. m. Thursday. The
central station crews made the run
and found an electric motor over
heating about to start p blaze near
the wood saw in shed at the rear
of the main buildings.
The motor was cooled with a
stream of water and the damage was
reported slight except to the motor
which is believed to be total loss.
Cause for the trouble was supposed
to be that someone had neglected to
turn the current off from the motor
and it had thus become overheated
although no official report was made
last night
