tary of the Department of Educa-

fare Conference, in, an address
last night before the Catholic
Testimony Associates in Immacu-

johnson said:
"The fathers of this country
when they spoke of education
meant religious schools, as they
knew no other. 1t was not un-
til 1920 that the preSent-day
system of public schools was
introduced.
"The Catholic never accepted
this system but kept on estab-
fishing their own schools at a
great financial sacrifice, at the
same time supporting by taxa
tiOn the nOn-religiOuS schools.
They have the kind of schools
their consciences demand"

CROSS APPEALS
To MAI. PRATT
FOR REDRESS
Judge Mcmahon Fines Him
$40 Despite AffidavitS of
Physicians As to Sobriety

Charges that he had been hit
with a blackjack by Policeman
M. E. Legate, of the First pre-
cinct; locked up on charge Of
being drunk, and refused per.
mission to get in touch with his
father, were placed before Maj.
Henry G. Pratt, Superintendent
Of Police, today by Raymond H.
Cross, an employe of the Post
office and the official scorer Of
the Masonic Bowling League.
Cross, according to the COM
plant filed today, was on his
way home from a friends house
this morning when he felt him
self falling asleep at the wheel
of his automobile. He pulled to
the curb on Pennsylvania avenue
between Ninth and Tenth streets,
northwest, and was resting his
head on the wheel of his auto
mobile when Policeman Legate
came along and saw him.
The policeman reused him and
pulled him out of the automobile
and then hit him several times
with a blackjack he says. He
was taken to the First precinct
police station and, despite his
protests that he had not taken
drink, was locked up and not
allowed to communicate with his
father.
He was released about two
hours later and Immediately went
to George Washington Hospital
where he asked DR.. Isadore
Levin to examine him. The
physician said he was not drunk.
He then went to Emergency
Hospital where he asked DR.. J.
Rutkoski to examine him and
received the same report.
In Police Court this morning
he presented to Judge Mcmahon
written statements of both physic-
ians but the judge refused to
listen to them and fined him SO.
Cross, after making a COM
plant to the Police Department,
engaged legal counsel to have the
case against him in Police Court
reopened. He did not have
counsel this morning when he
was tried because he said he be-
lieved the written statements Of
the two physicians would be
sufficient.

MRS. KAHN HITS
D. {. ATTITUDE

Blame for the lack of coop
Grafton between members, Of Con-
gress and the citizens of Wash
ington was laid at the door of
the Washingtonians themselves
by Mrs. Florence Kahn, Congress
woman from California, who
spoke to the Kiwanis Club at its
weekly luncheon in the Wash
ington Hotel yesterday.
Mrs. Kahn said that members
of Congress shirk membership on
the District committees and that,
once on, they get off at first
oportunity. She declared that
there is an unjustified antagon-
ism toward members of Congress
in this city. She continued:
"When / make a purchase
at a store l always take my
packages home and never have
them sem, as l feel that If it
is known / am connected with
Congress l won't get the same
kind of service that is accorded
WaShingtOnianS.'
Touching on the beauties of
Washington she asked members
of the club not to consider for
an instant bringing industries or
factories here. She said 1t is
the only real capital in the world.
All of the other large city cap
itals, she said. were large cities
long before they were capitals.
She advised:
Washington should cultivate
the tourist 'crOp'-the best pay
ing industry in the world.
When Congress completes the
$3.50, 200, 900 building program
there will be a perfect panOr-
anna of beauty for the tourist

Texas Holds Balance

The Texas legislature holds the
power of transferring the political

Northern States TO the South by
exercising its prerogative to suo-
divide the huge State of 265,398
square miles, into five separate
States, Representative Garner,
Democratic minority leader, de-
Clared in a statement he had
published in the Congressional
Record today.
Should the legislature elect to
apply it's privilege to disband into
mot more than five different
States" granted in the joint Con-
greSS resolution admitting Texas
to the Union, and assuming the
five territories were added to the
Union Of States, the present ter
ritory, with population Of

SHACKL|NG
IS ABOLISHED
IN SCHOOL.
National Training Directors
Take Action As Result of
Recent 40-Day Punishment

The practice Of putting run
away boys in leg irons was abol-
ished at a meeting Of the board
of directors of the National Train
ing Schools for Boys, it was an
nounced today by Francis Duehay,
president of the board.
This action followed the dis
covery by the directors that two
17-year-old boys, Austin Herield
and Garreu Vlk, had been in
irons 40 days for running away.
Those who take French leave
hereafter will be dealt with by
other means.
May Be Locked in Room
If temporary punishment is
needed they will be locked up IN
a room, or if they are repeated
offenders they will be transferred
to another institution which Is
not so unguarded as the Bladens
burg Road school.
Several days after the boys were
released from the shackleS, Vlk,
with four others. sneaked out
at night. Only Two have been
brought back so far, and Vlk is
still at large. 1t is believed one
had a door key which had been
missing, and the break had been
planned for some time.
Deuhay talked to Herield 'seV'
eral days ago and the boy said
he had an opportunity to escape
with the others, but decided he
would serve his time. He also
told Duehay he would prefer
shackles, which permit a shor:
step, to being locked up.
Take No Chances
1t was held by the directors,
however, that 40 days in shackles
was too severe punishment and
to prevent another mistake the
practice was abolished.
E. j. Hickey, superintendent OF
~chool, said he had no idea that
the Shackles had been on the
boys so long. Some of the di-
rectors - >ressed surprise that
this matte. could have slipped his
attention, but he explained that
the boys we're under the direct
supervision of a family head"
who thought such measures neceS-
sary to prevent break.
