IDLE PUPILS co.
To SCHOOL

Likening the present influx into
the District night school to a
stampede, Walter B. Patterson,
first assistant superintendent in
charge of special schools, today
declared that the present unem-
ployment was probably the cause
for the onrush of pupils.
Patterson made the smile on
the basis of the comparison Of
this years enrolment up to date
with last years. With the last
nights registration totaling 3,575,
including the Colored schools, Pat
terson was surprised to find that
this year the schools have en-
rolled almost double the number
of last year.
Accompanying this rush, now
ever, Patterson declared, will be
the usual dropping out which he
describes sas the ordinary reac-

MELLON RAPS
ATTACK ON
TREASURY

In a slashing reply to charges
Of q Fictitious surplus. Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon de-
clared yesterday that reduction
Of the national debt, through
the sinking fund, is continuing
on the customary scale and in
such a way as to save money for
the taxpayers.
Mellon laid the charges, made
by Representative Byrns Cd.
Of Tennessee, to "a convenient
ignorance of Treasury finances"
and to the imminence of election.
Byrms Answered
Byrns accused the Treasury of
attempting to create a fictitious
surplus by withdrawing from the
sinking fund sums legally re-
quired for the reduction of the
public debt" He cited debt
retirement Of only SOS, 1000, 900
from sinking fund in the first
quarter of this fiscal year, con-
trasted with $236,000 600 in the
same period last year.
But Government securities which
the Treasury bought to reduce
the debt last year sold at a dis
count, Mr.. Mellon pointed out,
and the Treasury saved almost
S4,000,000 by buying them early
in the year.
This year the same securities
"have sold consistently at a
premium" he said. The Treasury
intends to avoid paying this
premium by using the sinking
fund appropriation to retire Trea
Sury securities at par, instead
of buying them in the market
above par.
Mr.. Mellon disclosed for the
first time that it Is in this
way he plans to retire part of
the more than $1,000,000,000 of
Treasury notes he recently called
for redemption next March 15
About $3.50 100000 of this years
1895, 100000 sinking fund will be
available toward paying off the
notes, If no more of it is used in
the meantime.
Purchases Limited
Mr.. Mellon said:
Sinking fund purchases dur
ing the first quarter of this
official year have been limited
to the minimum amount made
advisable by the established
program of financing"
Denying that any funds are
being withdrawn from the sink
ing fund.-" Mr.: Mellon declared
that mo special fund" ever is set
UP, the sinking fund operations
being carried out under "a con-
tinuing appropriation, available
throughout the fiscal year."

COOPER FAVORS
DRY CHANGE

Modification of the VolStead act
to legalize light wines end beer
and the formation of two new
political parties are advocated by
Col. Wade H. Cooper, prominent
Washington banker, who has for
mally announced that pressure of
business will prevent his entrance
in the Tennessee senatorial race
where he planned to run in oppo-
sition to Rep. Cordell Hull Demo
crat) and Paul E. Nevin (Repub-
lican, both exponents of prohibi-
ton.
Grateful to the people of Ten
nessee, who urged him to enter
the contest, Colonel Cooper in a
formal statement said that modi-
fication of the Volstead act to al
low light wines and beer is the
only solution for the liquor prob
lem and that the Government is
losing $500,000, 900 of taxes which
are nov being diverted to boot
leggers. With the two major po-
litical parties offering little choice
to voters he directs attention to
the need of a Liberal and a Con-
servative party.
Although the banker has lived
in the District for 20 years he has
maintained a residence in Nash
vile, where he has been active in
philanthropic and educational de-
velopments.

BULLETS WHIz PAST l. P0LICEMAN'S HEAD
Boys Admit Shooting Unaware Officer Was in Neighborhood

While Motorcycle Officer Thomas Blanchette was searching an empty lot at the corner of West Main street and Corbin avenue last night, and trying to locate man who was re- ported to be creating a disturbance in the section, he was surprised by hearing the sound of rife shot. At practically the same moment he heard the whistle of bullet over his head. A fraction of a second later the same thing happened.
 Judging the location of the marksman by the direction from which the sound came he approach cd the spot cautiously and came upon two 5 year old boys who readily admitted after questioning that they were responsible for the shooting. They told the officer that they had bought some .22 bullets during the day and were just try ing out the rife. They were sur prised to learn how close they had come to hitting the officer.
 After scolding the boys severely for the use of firearms, Blanchette appropriated the gun, which he de- posted at police headquarters.

POST COMMANDER
 STILL DARK HORSE
Four Candidates for American
 Legion Leadership Mentioned
----

Although no nominating commit tee has been named by Eddy Glover post, American Legion, to report a slate of prospective officers to be elected at the annual meeting of the post tonight. four members of the post are being prominently men, toned and it is thought that the new commander will be picked from among the quartet. The four are Cedric Powers, Rodman Chamber lain, Duncan Shaw and Manville Johnson.
 None of these has definitely an- nounced himself as being a candi- date for the office of commander in view of the heavy duties that will be placed on the shoulders of the man in office during the coming year. Each has committed himself definitely to serve if he is elected. There may be other nominations but it is felt that any others will have only an outside chance of being elected commander. The meeting will be held in the Elks home adjoining the Legion home on Washington street. Reports of retiring officers will be read and date for the installation cere- monies will be selected. The meeting will start at 8 o'clock.

 Several lines of hose were laid and one of these was carried up the rear stairs by Mechanic Edward Burke and two other firemen. As they opened the door leading to the attic of the building they were met with burst of flames which drove them back down the stairs.
 Ladders were soon in position and several lines of hose were applied to the blaze from various directions.
 The fire which for the most part burned it's way through the roof rafters soon found it's way cut into one of the gables of the roof. After a long and stubborn fight it was brought under control.

 Standardizng of the academy with other universities is given as the req son for the change. Under the new arrangement there will be added in struction in seamanship and en- gineering and it is expected one for eign language will be added to the curriculum.
 The change is generally agreed to advisable for it is now necessary to cram much work into the three year course and it has been found that all instruction desired to be given in engineering cannot be accom- plished in the short course.

BRAZILIAN CASUALS
 ARRIVE AT HOMES
First Realization of War Strikes
 Peaceful Areas

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Oct. 23 LP) The arrival of the first casualties from the southern front is bringing home to residents of this capital, the fact that a bloody civil war actually is being fought in every direction just a few hundred miles away.
 Throughout the trouble Rio De Janeiro has remained so calm and with so little excitement, beyond that incident to mobilization of vol unteer and reserve armies in the outskirts, that war and revolution have been almost unthinkable.
 Official communiques have had a droning monotony, all very much like that of this morning which says that government forces are main taining their positions on all sectors, without change. Sometimes a few de- tails are added, as today, that Gen. eral Santa Cruz. commanding at Bahia, is co-ordinating all military elements in that state in prepara- ton for operations he is about to be- gin.
