LABOR CR|T|C|zES
KINDERGARTEN CUT
Reduction in Personnel in
Public Schools Opposed
by Central Body.

Strong opposition to the provision In
the District appropriations bill provid-
ing for a reduction. In the personnel OF
District kindergarten teachers and for
their assignment to elementary school
classes was voiced last night by the
Central Labor Union meeting at Must
clans Hall, zoos e street.
The union decided to send direct ap-
peals opposing the proposed legislation
to each member of the Senate appro-
priations committee and to officials OF
the Board OF Education.
w. w. Keller, chairman Of the unions
legislation committee, pointed out the
"deplorable state" in which both the
kindergarten classes and elementary
schools, he said, would be If the plan
proposed in the House bill should be
adopted. Mr.. Keeler declared:
THE rich can and do send their chill
dren to private kindergartens where
one teacher is asked to look out for
a very small number of children and
where the afternoon time Is 2ealouSly
guarded as a rest period for the child.
The working mans child should have
the same consideration"
A heated discussion followed Mr.
Keeler'S remarks In which representa-
tives of the crafts deplored the injus-
tices which the cutting out of the rs
kindergarten teachers would work on
the poorer children Of Washington.
Frank Coleman, secretary of the
labor union, reported on the action
taken recently by the executive COM
mitGee Of the union In appealing to
Congress for aid in the present sit
uation.
1.-The labor movement of this city will
not sit by idly and allow our public
school system to be pulled down.
organized labor played an important
part in the establishment of our public
schools here years ago. when it sup
ported Mayor Seaton, when he ran on
a public school platform and was elected
mayor on that plea.
I'VE are still in the same fight to give
the people of Washington good public
school system. We expect in this fight
to have our school officials join us in
our efforts to protect the interests of
the children Of this city.
The appeal to the Senate appropria-
lions committee and the school board

Parent Takes Life
When Struggle for
Sons Future Fails
Business Ventures of Jul
Illus C. Albright Turned
Out Unfortunately.

Fourteen years ago Julius G. Albright,
having saved $50, 900, retired as manager
of the Schlitz Brewing Co. here. He
and his wife, Josephine, debated Two
courses Of action.
Fond of fishing and hunting, Mr.. AL
bright longed for q little place near the
water down in Maryland, where, II they
were careful of the dollars, they would
have enough to tide them over the rest
OF their days.
They had one son, however, and their
love for this boy decided them on an.
other course. They resolved to establish
a business so that he would have some
thing to begin with when he reached
manhood.
The $4,000 was invested In fancy
grocery store in Brookland. For eight
years they struggled, but the store did
not prosper. Finally they sold out for
$17,500. But they thought they saw
still another chance.
. with what was left Of their savings
they took over the casino at Chesapeake
Beach. After three disastrous seasons
the last of the money was gone. That
was three years ago.
The father was then So years old. He
fell to brooding over the disappointment
life had given him.
This morning Mrs. Albright went to
the market, leaving her husband sit
ting In o rocking chair by window ill
their apartment at 1871 Irving street.
When she returned with her basket
of groceries, she found him dead. The
pistol he had used was lying on the floor
beside him. Coroner ]. Ramsay hewitt
signed Q certificate Of suicide.

Stronger GAMING
LAW FOR DISTRICT

Police Subcommittee Head to
Hear Local Officials on
Need for New Act.
BARRICADES SUGGESTED
AS EVIDENCE OF INTENT
Howell Local Enforcement Bill
Testimony Up Again This
Afternoon.

As the Senate District committee
went into session this afternoon to con-
slider Senator Howell's bill for stringent
enforcement of prohibition in Washing
ton, Chairman Robson of the Senate
police subcommittee also was making
plans to hear local officials later in
the week on the need for additional
legislation to curb gambling in the
District.
Senator Robson, who has just re-
turned to the city from visit to his
home State announced that he would
probably call his subcommittee together
Thursday to receive the views OF United
States Attorney Rover and representa-
tives of the corporation counSeps office
regarding possible changes in the gam
ing laws. Senator Robson indicated
he would also consider enforcement of
the law here with regard to narcotics.
Result Of Inquiry.
The conferences between Senator
Robson and local officials on the ade-
Quacy Of existing laws are an outgrowth
of the inquiry the subcommittee con-
Quoted several weeks ago into the con-
troversy between Public Printer George
H. Carter and the Police Department
with regard to law enforcement condi-
tons in the neighborhood of the Gov
eminent Printing Office. The inquiry
dealt largely with alleged gambling &C
ttvitieS in the vicinity of the printing
office.
One of the suggestions made to Sen
ator Robson by police officials recently
was that the District be provided with
q law under which the barricading of
buildings be made prima facie evidence
Of illegal intent.
The hearing this afternoon on the
prohibition enforcement measure is ex-
pected to be attended by officials from
the Attorney Generals Office, the Fed
eral Prohibition Bureau and the Police
Department. The hearing will be pre-
sided over by Chairman Capper, with
Senator Howell also taking part.
Would Increase Force.
The bill would clothe all members Of
the police force with authority to en-
force prohibition, whereas only SO po-
licemen have these powers now. Ad-
vance indications have been that the
hearing will deal largely with a dis
cuSsion of the new Search-warrant pro-
visions, under which warrants to
search residential property would be
issued upon information of the pres.
ence Of still or knowledge that liquor
had been taken to or from a dwelling
Under the present practice evidence of

for dwellings.
Senator Howell contends that with
out the new provisions bootleggers may
shield their operations by storing liquor
In residential property without making
sales from those places. Attorney
General Mitchell has advised against
enactment Of the proposed search-war-
rant clause, giving a number Of rea-
