SCHOOL SITE
Times Staff Photo

Protest against construction of
a school at Foxhall Road and @
Streets N. w. was voiced before
tfe District Commissioners today
by a delegation of residents of
FoXhall Village.
The Commissioners took the
protest under advisement. Land
for the school has already been
purchased and it was planned to
invite bids for building the school
in the near future.
The outstanding contention of
the citizens against the school at
the site was that it will stifle the
development of the community.
They urged the city heads to
locate the school in the midst
of the business development Of
the section on Reservoir Road.
The citizens also favor the con-
Struction of the building in old
English style of architecture in
keeping with the houses of the
section. The Commissioners al
ready have disapproved this type
of design.

GOTWALS SAYS
No CUPOLA''

There1l be no cupola on the
Taft Junior High School, now
under construction at Eighteenth
and Otis Streets Northeast. Engi-
neer Commissioner John C. Got
walls said today in answer to the
protest of the Burroughs Citizens
Association.
Major GotwaIs said his inten-
tion to eliminate the cupola
would not be swerved whether
the Fine Arts Commission recon-
mends that the school be con-
structed with the cupola.
At the last session of Congress,
the Engineer Commissioner de-
clared, he promised that building
would be constructed along a
rigid economy program and he
intends to keep this promise. In
so far as the Taft School is con-
cerned, Major Gotwals said, the
cupola elimination means a say
ing of $4,000.
The citizens association eX-
pressed the determination of hav-
ing the cupola on the building
IF it means going to the White
House to do it,"

Raymond L. Schreiner, 81, for
mer president of the Bank of

when arraigned in District Su,
preme Court today on a charge
of embezzling $4,000 of the
banks funds. He remained at
liberty under $4,000 bond.

that peculations of his client
would total $4,000 and offered

.TYPHUS VICTIM
UNCHANGED

DR.. Rolla E. Dyer's condition
today was practically unchanged,
according to reports from the
Naval Hospital, where he is
undergoing treatment for typhus
fever contracted in connection
with his research on the trans
mission of the disease. 1t was
said he slept we'll last night and
that there were no new develop
ments.
His laboratory associates are
giving his blood to fleas for a
final test as to the manner in
which typhus is transmitted,
After the fleas drink the blood
they will be allowed to bite
guinea pigs, and if the latter
contract typhus absolute proof
will have been furnished as to
the flea's role of carrier.
A vaccine has already been
developed that provides partial
protection for guinea pigs, and a
preventive for humans is being
sought, Dyer's illness having
occasioned no interruption to the
work.
Typhus is frequently fatal, but
the American form of the disease
is less virulent than the Euro
pean. DR.. Dyer is seriously i'll
but is expected to recover.

SILENT TROLLEY.
WHEELS NEAR

Washington's street cars soon
may be running on rubber tired
wheels, according to John H.
Hanna, president of the Capital
Traction Company.
Mr.. Hanna said his company
has already spent thousands of
dollars in research for the design
of rubber tire cars. He said that
in about year, the rubber tired
street car may be a reality.
The principle reason for this
type of transportation, the trac-
ton executive said, is the elimi-
nation of noise. Mr.. Hanna said
a research engineer of the De-
troit Edison Co. is now designing
a rubber-tired car.
