New York, Aug. 19.-Youthful Jed Harris, flashing wildly across Broadway horizons a few years ago. is not the only No. boy along the Rialto. The newect nope" is ChoH ter Erskin. who, just turned 26, is making older producers snap into huddlcs.
 Like the unshaVen Harris, Erskin i; one of the pale dreamers tri- umphant over the bitterness of ear ly poverty. His face is etched with a tiny acid wrinkle or so as me mentos of the travail, Two years ago he was occupying a bench in Bryant Park and using the public library reading room as an office.
 Indeed. the charity ward in To- cal hospital records he was a pa tent for malnutrition. But today he has ascended the throne Of the great Charles Frohman and will di- rect activities of the artistic Elm pIre theater 10 succeed Gilbert Miller.
 Mir. Miller is enamored of British life and anxious to confine produc- ton efforts to London. Erskin's eX- plession has the fire Of the zcalot but has proved him practical with al In a year, f1e directed three hits Harlem" Subway Express" and The Last Mile"
 While his efforts lacked the drawing room polish \ the Froh- man regime he has supplied raw realism the theater seldom achieves. He Vamoosed from a law school in native Schenectady for the 1 stage and acted small parts in road companies and directed repertoire failures.
 At a casual glance he might be one Of those studious looking office boys so common in New York. He talks hesitatingly and with no as- surance. Yet when he selects his company and begins rehearsals he i' compelling and thoroughly alive.

FORGERY SUSPECT
SEIZED AT DANBURY
U. S. Marshals Hold Man Sought
for Three Months on
Charges Here.

Nicholas D. Apostoles, SO years old,
who has been sought by local authori-
ties for three months on charges of
forgery and passing worthless checks,
was arrested by United States mar
shals at Danbury, Conn, yesterday and
is being held for District police, &C
cording to a radiogram received from
Boston today.
Apostoles is accused of passing a
worthless check to the amount of $3.50,
according to Detective Sergt Ira e.
Keck, who said that the man repre-
sented himself as a constituent of Rep
resentative John w. Mccormack of
Massachusetts,.
With the aid of a letter, alleged to
be fraudulent, the accused man is said
to have succeeded in passing the worth
less check on downtown department
store and attempting to cash several
others at a local bank.
APOSTLES became suspicious when
back officials delayed in cashing his
check and rushed from the institution,
police said. The man has been sought
since April, when he made the unsuc-
cessful attempt to pass the check on
the bank. Word of the arrest of
Apostoles was contained in a Govern
ment radiogram received here by the
War Department from a Government
station in Boston and forwarded to
the Detective Bureau.

CAPITAL YOUTH SLAIN IN SOUTH
BY FILLING STATION OPERATOR
Joseph H. Jerman, is, Fired
on at Night at Co.
Iumbia, S. C..
Former Central High Student
Was Returning From
Florida Visit.

Joseph Hammond Jerman, Is years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H.
Jerman, PITT Thirteenth street, died in
the Baptist Hospital in Columbia, S. c.,
late yesterday from bullet wound in
the head inflicted by G.. H. Priester,
filling station operator, according to
news dispatches received here. Word of
the boys death was received through a
telegram from the hospital authorities
last night by the boys parents, who
mad just returned from weeks motor
trip.
Priester, the filling station proprietor,
told police that he was awakened early
yesterday morning by a noise in front
OF his gasoline station and that he
hred to frighten the youth when he saw
the latter attempting to remove oil from
the station storage tank The boy was
identified from a card found in his
pocket.
Left Here in June.
The boys father said today that his
son left here Wednesday June Is, to
drive to Florida to visit friends there
and that he had at first planned to
meet his parents in Charleston, w. Va,
last week. The boy had intended seek
ing a position in Charleston, where he
had friends who were going to help
him find one. The boy had remained
South longer than he had planned, but
expected to join his parents later in
this city, after stopping over for a short
time in Charleston, w. Va. He had a
sweetheart there, his father said.
Mr. Jerman today secuted the sug-
gestion that his son was attempting to
take oil from the service station without
paving for it. He believes that when his
automobile ran out of oil the youth
went to the station, and, failing to
arouse the proprietor, decided to try to

next week or 10 days, it was learned
today.
This building, which in former years
served as the District Building, was I'M
til recently used by the Federal Gov
eminent for certain activities of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. The building
Is now owned by the District, having
been purchased as part of It's program
of acquisitions for the new Municipal
Center.
According to Inspector z. w. Brown,
in charge of the Trafic Bureau, the
building could be made ready for use
by the Traffic Bureau with little paint
and few beaver board partitions. He
said that when the building was bought
there was an arrangement between the
Federal and District governments that
the latter would not seek to occupy it
for year. Owing to the urgency of the
present situation, as the Commissioners
are forced to vacate before August /. it
is thought that this arrangement can be
rescinded.
If this proves impossible the bureau
will probably be moved to the Equity
Building, few doors around the COR
ner on John Marshall place. This build
ing was also bought by the District as
part of the new municipal center, but
Inspector Brown said it was not very
suitable to the needs Of the Traffic
Bureau and would necesSitate consider
able remodelling.

tivity of Two Defendants.
Arrests Total Eight.

Two alleged ticket scalpers, arrested
at Griffith Stadium July 4, were fined
500 each at Police Court today by
Judge Robert E. Mattingly, while a
third arrest yesterday was set free be-
cause Of insufficient evidence.
The men we're arraigned under a
regulation of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, which states that the price for
which the ticket is to be sold must APP
pear on the slip with the name of the
seller.
81 think this is the rottenest, dirtiest,
meanest thing man can do" Judge
Mattingly told Martin Kline and
Arthur Abrams, both of Philadelphia,
the defendants, 81 am sorry that the
law will allow me to fine you only 500.
I wish it was $780,"
Kline and Abrams were arrested
after they had tried to sell ticket to
Policeman e. Barnett of the eighth
precinct. Guy Stevens of Baltimore,

torneys office decided there was not
enough evidence to carry the case into

this arrest.

BOARD TO SELECT
NEW PROFESSORS
Teachers College to Be
Stated and School Budget
Considered.

District School Board members will
meet in special session at $3.50 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon to consider ques-
tioons of finance and to act on the APP
pointment of professors for the teach
ers' college, it was announced today.
Only six members of the board are
in the city, and Harry o. Hine, the
boards secretary, today was sending
urgent appeals to them to attend to-
morrow'S meeting.
The board will discuss the 1882 esti-
mate, which was forwarded to the Com
miSSionerS early in May, with a view
Sary by virtue of the passage of the
SO, SOC, 900 District appropriation bill by
Congress last week.
Salary Scale an Issue.
Among the issues brought to the front
by the congressional compromises on
the appropriation bill is the question of
"step-ups" In clerical and janitorial
salaries.
The board is also concerned at pres
ent with the ALLEGATION of its teacher
college salaries. The board has asked
for salaries for eight full professors and
two presidents, to be divided evenly be-
tween the Wilson and Miner Colleges.
In compromise, however, Congress pro-
vided money for the eight professors,
but restricted the fund for the higher
positions, so that the boards original
plan to make the present principals of
the two normal schools deans under
the two presidents now must be altered.
Whether this will be done by pro-
noting the present principals to the
presidency of their respective institu-
tions, or whether they will be made pro-
fessors in their schools, Is the problem
confronting the board. If the latter
course Is acceptable. the presidents will
be brought from elsewhere to Wash
ington.
Six May Be Named.
Six of the eight professors probably
will be appointed tomorrow, it being
generally known that the administra-
tive officers of the system have given
lengthy study to long list of eligibles.
Most OF these professors probably will
come to Washington from other cities.
In its sessions tomorrow the board
will receive recommendations on both
the financial and the personnel prob
lens from DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent of schools, who has given
much study to the appropriation bill
since its enactment.
The open session Of the board viii
be preceded by executive meetings of
the Finance Committee at O'Clock and
of the Personnel Committee at 2:45
o'clock. Rev. F. I. A. Bennett is the
only member of the Personnel Commit
tee in the Capital at this time, Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle and Mrs. Philip
Sidney Smith being on vacation trips
OF the three members of the Finance
Committee, Rev. Abram Simon and Dr.
j. Hayden Johnson are present, while

DIAL PHONE TONE
GETS LOST AWHILE
Company Asserts Machines Fal.
tered Only a Minute-D. c.
Building Operators Say 10.

The dial telephone tone, which is the
interesting buzz the special operator
says you should wait for whenever your
fingers get crossed up and she comes in
on the line, was lost somewhere in
downtown Washington this morning.
Whatever it was that happened-and
the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. had a rock-ribbed explanation all
ready-caused sundry dial users in one
branch of the system to finger their
phones futilely.
The dificulty first was noted at the
District Building when, at about IL
o'clock, switchboard operators noted
that calls were not going through. The
telephone company said that one of
the machines faltered momentarily in
completing the contact which brings the
dial tone, but that the branch was
thrown on another machine within one
minute of receipt of the signal that
something was the matter.
Switchboard operators at the Dis
trict Building commented that the diff
ficulty continued for about 10 minutes
Telephone company officials said the
trouble did not extend beyond the one
branch.
