SCHOOLS WILL OPEN
TWONE:W BUILDINGS
FOR FALL SESSION
Roosevelt High and Phoebe
Hearst Elementary to Be
Put in Use.
ADDITION is READY
AT DOUGLASS SIMMONS
Three d-Gymnasium Ex-
tension Also Will Be Ready
at Hine Junior High.

Only two new school buildings will be
opened when school resumes next
month. These will be the new Roose-
velt High School at Thirteenth and
Upshur streets, which will replace the
old Business High School at Ninth
street and Rhode Island avenue, and
the Phoebe Hearst elementary School
at Thirty-seventh and Tilden streets.
In addition to these new buildings,
however, an eight-room addition to the
Douglas-Simmons (colored elementary
School, and a three-room and gymna-
SUM addition to the Hine Junior High
School, also will be put into use.
School officials are particularly happy
they said today, over the availability of
the new Hearst School, which lies in a
congested and rapidly growing resi-
dental area. This school will relieve
heavy demands made last year on the
Tenley-Janney School at Albemarle
street and Wisconsin avenue, and on the
John Eaton School in Cleveland PARK
at Thirty fifth and Lowell streets.
Equip Roosevelt School.
The Roosevelt High School, which
was turned over to the District by the
contractor a week ago. is being equip
ped as speedily as furniture and supplies
reach the District. Much of the doubt
which formerly was entertained concern
ing completion of this building for the
opening of school has been dispelled by
the speed with which the equipment
manufacturers have undertaken the fill
ing CT their recently let contract. While
some items Of equipment, such as cafe
terra furniture. may not be installed in
the building by September l9, the open
ing date, it was said today that neces-
sary pupils and teachers desks and
chairs will have been installed so that
the building can get to work promptly.
While these are the only buildings
which will be ready next month, the
municipal architects Office is pushing
its plans to begin construction at early
dates on the new FoXhall Village and
the Keene Elementary Schools: the
four-room replacement building for the
Kenilworth School, the new trade school
for colored boys, and the new eight
room addition to the Bancroft School.
Work also will begin soon on the re-
modelling of the old Business High
School for colored children. as well as
construction of a gymnasium for the
present M Street High School Building,
which now houses the Cardozo High
School.
The Foxall Village School, to be
the first unit of a 16-room and audi
torium building. will nave completed
rooms on the first floor and space for
more rooms, unfinished. on the Sec
ond floor. The Keene School likewise
will be the first Groom unit of a To-
room and auditorium building destined
to replace the present antiquated Keene
building.
Meanwhile, too, the municipal archi-
tect is preparing plans and specifica-
tions for the proposed senior high
school, the sixth senior high school for
white pupils in the District, for the
Fort Reno section. Construction will
not begin on this building, however,
until at least the next fiscal year.

D. C. TRYING TO COLLECT
FROM 10 TAXI DRIVERS
Payments for Licenses Were SIG
Under New Scale Provided in
Recent Legislation.

The District is trying to collect SIG
apiece from 10 Washington taxicab
drivers. This curious situation is caused
by the change in license fees which
went into effect July l. The bill ;igned
by President Hoover that day changed
the fee from SO to SIS, but 81 cahmen
came in for their licenses in the morn
ing. before the presidential signature
had been affixed.
The early birds got their licenses for
SO. but shortly after they had received
them, the law unoer which they were
obtained was wiped out, and the price
raised to $25. Since law takes effect,
usually, from the beginning Of the busi-
ness day on which it is signed in this
case the legal aspect seems to be that
the cabn en- owe the District SIC apiece
Since then IL of the 81 have called on
the collector of taxes and paid the
difference. The licenses of the others
will be revoked unless they do likewise.

Spain Could Not
Be Allies Friend

No one could be surprised that
Spain preserved a strict neutrality
in the great struggle of Armageddon
The historical barriers between
Spain and the allied and associated
powers were not to be surmounted
The deepest bitter memory Of the
Spaniard is the Napoleonic invasion
and the agony Of the Peninsular war;
Even after hundred years there
could be no unity of sentiment be-
tween France and Spain. Gibraltar
though faded cause of irritation,
still plays part in Spanish thought
But the real hatred was for the
United States, and the final loss of
the last remnants of the Spanish
colonial empire left an aching void
In the breasts of a proud race.
The aristocracy were pro-German.
The middle classes anti-French. AS
the king said, "Only and the mob
are for the Allies" The best that
could be hoped for was that Spain
should be neutral in the struggle;
and certainly she prospered by her
abstention from it.-Winston Church.

Mayor to Face Roosevelt

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August 9.-Mayor Walk
Err Jimmy" to the 1000 00o-is going
up the Hudson to Albany Thursday TO
fight for his political life.
Gov. Roosevelt, against whose nomi-
nation for the presidency Mayor Walker
voted at Chicago to the last will be
his Judge.
The final oficial word before the
hearing begins was before the Governor
today-a brief srlr-rebuttal filed by the
mayor last night. It asSails the attack
upon him by Samuel Seabury as 'bla-
tant hypocrisy"
Seabury, once an anti -Tammany can
didate for Governor, a iurist and more
recently the chief counsel to the Legis-
lative Committee out of whose investi-
CATION have grown the charges against
the mayor, had no comment TO make
upon the mayors latest brief.
Call for His Removal.
Voluminous conclusions" and charges
are on file with Gov. Roosevelt They
attack Walkers behavior over a period
of years as mayor OF New York and call
upon the Governor to remove him from
Office.
In essence, the Walker case is a
local affair. 1t has been given national
political significance. however, by the
mayors wide personal popularity and
by the Tammanv ties that bind 1t to
the national political picture.
The mayor. in his sur-rebuttal made
mention of Tammany, though not by
name. He referred to it as "the polit-
ical organization of which am a mem
ber."
The mayor asked that he be given
a trial" rather than a hearing Gov
Roosevelt had not indicated today what
answer he would make to this request.
There were several circumstances, how
ever. which led to the belief that he
would follow his original plan OF a
hearing. A trial would require many
weeks and the Governor has indicated
his desire to get the case settled as
quickly as possible. preferably before
he opens his campaign for the presi-
dency formally at Columbus, Ohio, Au-
gust 20.
Denies All Charges.
The mayors latest brief was short.
compared with his 27,000-word original
answer to the charges. 1t concluded
with the statement that each and
every charge of Seabury ''in so far as
they may reflect upon any alleged mis-
feasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance or
any other misconduct by me as mayor
of the City M New York, is hereby
specifically denied"
The mayor minced no words. He
called the legislative inquiry, at which
Seabury produced evidence involving
numerous political figures, an "inqulsi-
ton"
WAS there q trial?" the mayor asks
and then continues: mo. There was
a one-sided inquisition. Was the sc-
cused permitted to cross-examine the
witnesses?"
