FOREIGN STUDENTS
WORK BAN LIFTED
Secretary Doak Will Allow
Non-Quotas to Labor for
Room or Board.

Secretary of Labor Doak has modi-
fed his ruling prohibiting non-quota
foreign students from working their
way through Government approved
schools in this country.
Harry E. Hull, commissioner general
Of immigration, today made public a
letter he wrote to DR.. John H. NC
Cracken of the American Council of
Education, in which he stated Mr.. Doak
had lifted the ban so far as students
who entered this country prior to Au-
gust, 1882, are concerned.
The commissioner said these stu
dents would be permitted to continue
to work for room or board, provided
they carry successfully a full course OF
study in day classes, and it being def
nitely understood they are not to be
employed for wages.
He also said the recent ruling also
has been modified to allow non-quota
students to continue to work during
vacation periods for room or board, but
not for wages.
The new Interpretation of the immi-
grafton act also will allow foreign
student to accept scholarship or fel-
lowship, Mr.. Hull said.
The Labor Departments modification
Of the recent ruling came after many
of this country's leading educators
wrote to Secretary Doak protesting
against the ''no-work" ban.
Among the recent letters received at
the Labor Department was one from
Arthur Howe, president Of Hampton
Institute Of Virginia and formerly Of the
Taft School and Yale University
"In view of the worlds effort to
realize peace and good will, I am
ashamed to think that my country
would take the attitude toward other
people with serious intent and whole
some purposes" Mr.. Howe's letter stated
It added that:
THE education which our own peo-
pie receive from their contact with the
deserving students is Of much more
importance in the life of America than
few dollars which you are trying to
save for Americans only. If there
is to be tariff wall on good will AND
education, the future Of our country Is
indeed discouraging.

DISTRICT CAN'T USE
$105,697 BALANCE
Fund Left From 1880 Appropria-
ton Must Not Be Spent,
McCarl Rules.
(From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays Star.

(From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays staro
Controller General McCarl ruled to-
day that the District could not use an
unexpended balance Of $105,697.94 on
the 1880 appropriation to buy site Tor
the Jefferson Junior High School.
Although this money is in the Treas
ury to the credit of the District, McCarl
held that the appropriation had lapsed
June 80 last, and that there Is no au-
thority of law for re-establishing any
balance upon the books at this time Tor
any purpose whatsoever"
This money is part Of an appropr1a-
ton of $4,000 made in the 1880 fiscal
year, $3.50, 900 of which was intended for
the purchase of the Jefferson Junior
High School site at Ninth and H streets
southwest. This was supplemented by
100000 appropriation in the 1880 de-
ficiency act. Both sums carried the
Limitation that they could be used only
to buy property within 125 per cent OF
its assessed value.
Failing to get some OF the property
within this figure, the Commissioners
took part Of the property to condemna-
ton. Part of it was acquired, but as
to the balance, the award OF $294, 200
was rejected by the Commissioners as
grossly excessive" and the condemna-
ton proceeding was dismissed.
Later the property owners offered to
compromise for $lS5, 1000, which the
Commissioners are willing pay, but in
the meantime, the appropriation hav-
ing lapsed, McCarl ruled, in effect, that
they would have to wait until the
sos, 900 from which part Of the price
would be paid Is reapproprtated.

followed several recent thefts from the

lighted by only one small electric bulb
and the point where the body was founc
is not reached by the ray. The ofncers

POLICE SHAKE-UP.
Crime Bureau Force Reduced

Custer Fight.
CONTINUED From First Page.)

spector Burke In declaring that Gen.
Glassford's action was illegal. He ex-
pressed doubt, however, whether his
committee would take any action on
the removal proceedings, since it deals
with police policies and principles
rather than with individuals.
Personally, feel that Gen. Glass
ford exceeded his authority" declared
Mr.. Smith. Unless he can show good
reason why Burke should be denoted,
he has, by his action, done a grave in
justice to an ef1cient and worthy police
official.
THE superintendent Of police has the
right to recommend the demotion OF Q
subordinate to the Commissioners, but
he has no right himself to order q de-
motion"
"Of course, the superintendent would
have to have q good reason to recon-
mend a demotion. but Gen. Glassford's s
action was uncalled for in the light OF
his public explanation"
Gen. Glassford, in his conference with
newspaper men, said he preferred that
Burke to remain on the force, but not
as chief Of detectives.
Cites Screen Incident.
Citing Burke's alleged lack Of Co
operation, Gen. GlaSSforo SAID ne asked
the detective chief to place a screen IN
a room where detectives view prisoners
brought in for the lineup. This was
not done promptly, he said.
Inspector Burke explained, however,
he could not get the screen because the
chief clerk of the Police Department
told him there were no funds available
for this purpose.
Gen. Glassford declared he had made
number Of other suggestions to
Burke, which had not been carried out,
and for that reason he believed the eff
ficiency OF the Detective Bureau could
be increased by placing another officer
In command.
Relieved Of the command OF the third
precinct, Capt. Edward J. Kelly re-
ported for duty at administrative head
quarters at o'clock this morning and
was assigned temporarily to command
the Crime Prevention Bureau. Gen
Glassford has announced he proposes to
promote Capt. Kelly and place him In
command Of the Detective Bureau as
soon as Burke is removed.
A number of changes in the Detective
Bureau personnel are expected to follow
soon after Kelly takes command. 1t Is
known that Gen. Glassford Is anxious
to remove four or five men.
