LOCAL EDUCATION
 COSTS ARE LOWER
School Board Statement Gives Reason for Junior H. s. Here
PER CAPITA COST LESS
And More Pupils Would Attend, Statement Says - Miss Nellie M, Stevens Dies - Boys Club Meets msbury-Bricfs.

In an official statement of the school board this morning, consist ing of q, compilation of figures re- Garding the relative cost of cduCa- lion in the Berlin Junior High school and that which might be in Nolvcd if the children of junior high age were sent to schools in nearby cities, 1t is declared that the cost of local education is far less expensive.
 At the present time there arc 195 children in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in the kcnsinston school. The per capita cost of edu- eating this group is Sl03.42. If the students of junior high age of whom there are 56, were sent to schools outside of town, the per capita cost for these children would be S246.- 50, it Is stated. The total yearly amount of money spent on outside education for those of junior high age would be $13.S04.40. This group of junior high pupils, together with others of the seventh and eighth grades, making a total of 195 stn- dents, could be educated in the Der lin Junior High school for d total uf $l3,296.90, excluding the running expenses of the school, which would not vary to any great extent if these 56 pupils were removed, the state mcnt says. The running expenses, including janitor service, fuel, ln- surance and so forth, would amount to $l,S40.07.
 In, interview thIS nlnrn1nC MISS Mary Grswod. superintendent of schools, claimed that due to jun ior high school within the town, many students who would have nor mally left the school at the end of the eighth grade attend the junior high for the reason that it is within the toWn.'
 The statement from the school board is as follows:
 students Arc Encouraged
 "Thanks to q junior high school organization, q number Of pupils who would normally have left school at the end of the eighth grade have had at least one year Of secondary education. They have been kept in their home town, con- tentedly at work in familiar sur roundings and happy in developing . high school morale of a whole some nature
 With the foundation of one year of high school work, they have been encouraged to plan for additional education. School committees of Berlin have always taken pride in the fact that the local junior high school, although lacking a course in manual arts, has been able to ade- quately care for academic prepara tion at very nominal cost. Some idea of the moderate cost of having, one year Of instruction in addition 10 the elementary grades may be gained by pcrusing the following figures which show the saving to the town of educating the pupils at home rather than in neigh boring cities.
 "roday there arc 56 pupils in the first year high school group in Ken- sington. 1f these were not educat- cd at home, they would be distribu- ted in out Of town schools as fol- lows: Mcrdcn Junior High ?. Hid dletown Senior High 6, New Britain

when five high school cadets
dropped in to find out what the

Although Bolshevism was
pointed to as the perfect state,
the orators were unable when
questioned by the cadets to give
even a vague idea of what con.
ditions in Russia are like at the
present time.
AS usual the frey orators were
loath to say what their attitude
will be toward the salute to the

WRIT Of ERROR
GRANTED To
CAFE Man

The right Of prohibition en-
forcement officers to enter Q
public place on suspicion and
conduct q search for evidence Of
violation Of the prohibition laws
is about to be decided by the
District Court Of Appeals.
A writ of error in the case
Of Enc Croce, proprietor Of .
restaurant formerly in the 1900
block II st. N. W., who was re.
Gently convicted before Judge
John p. Mcmahon In Police Court
and sentenced to pay q $3.50 fine
on possession charges with the
alternate Of so days in jail, was
granted by the higher court re-
Gently on the petition Of Croce's
counsel, Attorney George P.
Lemrn.
Croce was arrested by members
Of the police liquor squad when
raid without a warrant was con-
Quoted on his establishment Sep
tember Z, 1929. The conviction
and sentence was imposed NoVem-
ber IL. last after Judge McMahon
overruled a motion Of Attorney
Lenm to quash evidence seized in
the raid on grounds that the
search without q warrant was
illegal.
The court held that the premises
raided were used as q public res
taurant and included the kitchen
within the scope Of the privilege
of the raiders. Counsel for Croce
excepted to the courts ruling on
the motion and carried the peti-
ton for the writ Of error to the
court Of appeals.
It Is rare that the higher court
consents to hear cases brought
from the police court and the
issuance Of the writ indicates that
the higher tribunal views seriously
the question raised by counsel. A
hearing on the merits will be held
in near future.

COMMISSION
MORE POWER

Further evidence of the differ.
enceS which exist between the
District engineer departments and
the office of public buildings and
public parks has been given by
the action Of the local govern
ment in blocking the efforts of
the Federal officers to simplify
the procedure for closing streets.
The National Capital Park and
4 Planning Commission some time
ago sent te the Senate District
Committee bill which would in
crease the powers Of the District
Commissioners in the matter Of
closing streets. The bill came
on for hearing yesterday, and
then the city planners learned
Tor the first time that the Dis
trict Commissioners diSappruved
Of the bill which would enlarge
their authority.
Grant Is Surprised
Col. U. s. Grant Sd, executive
officer Of the planning commits
sion, told the committee that he
was very much surprised" at the
action Of the District Commits
sioners in dlsapproving the meas
ure as drawn.
Engineer Commissioner william
b. Ladue explained to the com.
nittee that the Commissioners
had known nothing of the bill
until it was submitted to them
for their approval. He said that
they feared the bill gave them
too much discretion and that
they were opposed to it. The
city fathers, he said, are drawing
a substitute bill which will be
satisfactory to them and they will
have it ready for committee con-
Sideration next week.
Fight Over Schools
That all was not proceeding
smoothly between the multiple

Some rather bitter correspond
ence between the Federal and
local authorities on that subject
was di- closed on the floor of the
House by Representative Simmons
chairman of the District ap-
preparations subcommittee.
The Senate yesterday also heard
arguments in favor of a revision
OF the code governing incorpora-
ton in the District. No action
was taken, however, and the
matter was turned over to Sena-
tor John M. Robsion Of Ken

REGULAR CABS
THREATEN To
MEET SLASH

As the result Of the influx Of
taxicab companies operating with
out meters and giving cut-rate
service to certain points in the
city proper, police are endeavor-
ing to find a means to require
all such operators to take out III"
tags in place Of the 'L" tags
which are now being used.
Fifty additional cabs were
placed on the street today by the
Sun Cab Company. of which Earl
Kline is manager, and all Of them
are meterleSs and equipped solely
for livery service. The company

Three in Field
The advent of the Sun Com
pany now puts three big COM
panies in the common carrier
field, all operating anywhere in
the city proper for 35 cents.
Pointing to the fact that regu-
lar taxicab companies are re-
quired to take out the 'H" tags,
except for cabs stationed at given
stands for strictly livery service,
the issuance Of "L" tags to the
cut-rate competitors is declared
to be most unfair.
Just how far the police may go
under the law in forcing the
operators to equip their cabs
with "H' tags police are at a
loss to determine, and the queS-
tion will probably be put up to
the Public Utilities Commission
for solution.
Keech Studies Law
Richmond B. Keech, newly ap-
pointed Peoples Counsel, is at
present studying the law and
probably will decide next week
just how far the commission may
go.
The commission feels that 1t
may fix rates and require the
same adherence to the law by
the IL" tag cabs as well as the
regular hacking vehicles.
With the many new cabs oper'
ating under the cut rate fare the
regular companies are UP against
a proposition Of appealing to the
Commission to force the inde-
pendent companies to come up
to their rates or reducing their
own rates to meet competition.

according TO several members Of

Just how far this policy will
be pursued by the Diamond Com
pany could not be ascertained
yesterday but it has been indi-
Gated that a slash in rates is
imminent regardless Of the recent
acceptance of present rates Of the
company by the Utilities Com
mission. The commission holds
that before rates can be raised
or lowered it must first rule on
the question. The cab company
contends the commission lacks
authority over it and expresses
the intention Of doing as it

JAPAN'S TEXTILE TRADE
is GROWING RAPIDLY

The growing domination by Japan of
the worlds cotton textile markets. as
reported by Charles K. Moser, chief of
the Far East section of the United
States Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, is given emphasis by a COM
partson Of the latest official figures coy
ertng the respective cotton textile ex-
ports Of American and Japanese mills.
These figures show that Japan's cotton
textile exports are now at a rate ap-
proximating four times those Of the
United States.
The Moser report, which followed a
special investigation of the Oriental
textile industry and markets for the
Pepperell Manufacturing Co. Of Boston,
for which Mr.. Moser was detached
from the Department Of Commerce,
states:
Far Eastern markets in future will
be more and more dominated by the
cotton textile output of Far Eastern
countries. American and European
mills are likely to find competition with
them even more severe than in the past.
Japan's cotton textile industry is the
most financially sound and progressive
industry in that country today It's
prosperity probably exceeds that of the
cotton industry in any country"
In the first eight months Of 1880
American exports Of cotton textiles
amounted to 289, 793, 1877 square yards
This is 1877 per cent less than the 406,
122,572 square yards exported in the
first eight months Of 1929.
In the first six months Of 1880 Japan'S
exports, by comparison, amounted To
SIS, 900 square yards.
