yon Henke and Manley.

Won Henke and Manley.
Much of yesterday was devoted
to wrangling over a yellow piece
of wood that is an upright in
one section of the ladder that |
was found 70 feet from the Lind
bergh house after the alarm rang
out that the baby had been kid
mapped. The state contends Haupt-
mann ran short of lumber when
he was building the ladder, so he
went up into his own attic and
ripped away the yellow board
and used it.
Arthur koehler, department of
agriculture wood expert, spent al
most two days testifying that
this board came from the Haupt-
mann attic.
Yesterday the defense produc-
ed Charles de Bischop of Water
bury, Conn.,, who said he was not
a wood expert, but practical
lumber man."
This yellow board, De Bischop
said, bore no relation to the / est
of the floorboards in Haupt-
mann's attic.
This yellow piece of board is
identified in court as "rail 49,"
That is the number written on it
by the court clerk when he tag
ged every separate piece of wood
in the ladder.
Hauptmann's lawyers have
fought stubbornly to overcome
testimony to the effect that their
client took rail 16 out of his own
attic. They even have brought
forward hints and insinuations
that Hauptmann was framed by
police who took the ladder to
pieces in the course of their in
veStigation. The insinuation is
that the police threw away the
original rail 16 and built a board
from Hauptmann's attic back in
to the ladder.
That was the line Of testimony
that DIR. E. NJ. Hudson, New
York fingerprint expert, was pro-
ceeding along yesterday. 1t all
simmered down to a question of
nail holes in rail Is.
Hudson said that when he
came into the Lindbergh case
about the middle of March, 1882
he examined the ladder with a
magnifying glass and found only
one nail hole in rail 1G.
Now there are four nail holes
in rail 16.
How they got there, nobody
has explained. Wilentz contends
they were there all the time and
that Hudson simply didn't see
them. The defense had succeed
ed in creating considerable doubt
and confusion about rail Is, when
Wilentz picked up a section of
the ladder and carried it over to
the witness chair where Hudson
was sitting. The testimony had
been firing and technical and
everybody, including the witness,
was caught off guard by what
followd.
] "You say you saw one nail
hole only" Wilentz said. Gust
take this pencil and draw a cir
Gle around the nail hole you
saw"
Hudson circled a nail hole near
the top of rail 16.
"Now," Wilentz continued.
"Your name is Hudson so put the
initial H above that circle, will
Iyou?"
Hudson did it.
"This nail hole you circled-
it's the one you saw when you
first inspected the ladder, isn't
it," Wilentz asked.

"You're sure about that"

Then Wilentz leaped at him.

DEFENSE RESTS in
HAUPTMANN TRIAL
Continued from page one)

kNOuIlIluCu IIOll pare UHtJ
the other witnesses from the
Hauptmann's circle of friends,
without the trace Of an accent.
Uhlig is short and square; he
dresses neatly in dark blue cloth
ing, and parts his red hair on the
side.
This was the man who boarded
a boat for Hamburg late in 1888.
His travelling companion was
Fisch, who carried a big suitcase
and a Upper bag, and who lay
on his back in a cabin throughout
most of the Atlantic passage,
weak from tuberculosis.
Uhlig told about that trip and
the preparations they made for
if. Things rad not gone so well
for Fisch, He had borrowed
money, had invested some of it
in a pie factory and had gone
bankrupt.
"Fisch was supporting you,
wasn't he?" Reilly asked.
Uhlig's face blazed with anger.
"He was not" he said sharply.
"Well, he paid your passage to
Germany"
That's a lie," the witness
shouted. He paid my passage
with my money which he had in
vested in his phoney bakery"
Counsel for the defense cling
tenaciously to the belief that if
they can prove that Fisch was
lolling in luxury from the time
the Lindbergh kidnapping was
committed until he sailed for
Germany, they can prove that
he, not Hauptmann, collected the
Lindbergh ransom and plotted
the crime. They tried to get
Uhlig to say that yesterday, but
he evaded the question of wheth-
er Fisch was rich or poor. All
he knew, he said, was that Fisch
borrowed money frequently, but
that he had enough to buy the
two steamship tickets.
Reilly wanted Uhlig to say
more than that. He wanted the
witness to swear that the crude
combination of printing and writ
ing in the ID ransom notes re-
sembled Fisch's script. After a
wrangle over the admissability of
this testimony court ruled that
Uhlig should answer, if he could
identify Fisch's script. Uhlig said
simply 81 don't know"
Then he told about coming
back to America after Fisch died
and going to see Hauptmann.
Uhlig said he wanted to get the
suitcases and box which Fisch
left with Hauptmann. That shoe
box, according to Hauptman, is
the one that contained the S14,-
600 ransom. Uhlig said Haunt
mann refused to turn Fisch's be-
iongings over to him."
They let Uhlig go then, and he
walked out of the courtroom. He
didn't smile at Hauptmann.

fense's case-Reilly will rest to-
day-asWalter Manley got out of

and paint shop whose smell and
noises punctuated the teachings Of the
course Of study"
These schools were attended by two
classes Of pupils. There were those
who paid the tuition fee Of IS per
quarter and who in addition to the
ordinary branches we're instructed in
geography and the Latin language
and those who were educated free
because of \the indigency Of their
parents. The early teachers of these
schools seem to have been in the
main clergymen forced to supplement
the slender subsistence rendered them
by the church.
UnqueStionably the opprobrium OF
"pauper schools" the term by which
they unfortunately came to be desig-
mated, had something to do with
the general lack of interest in their
well-being. It would be difficult to
decide which was the more indiffer-
ent, the Congress Of the United States,
from whom no appropriation was
made available, or the citizens of
Washington themselves. A certain
group Of local scoffers was even Of
the opinion that the allotment Of
1880 from the city's funds might
better be spent "in the building Of
bridges and roads as they would &C
complish much more for the COM
mon good"
Finally. in President Madison's ad-
ministration, the allotment for schools
was summarily cut to $500 by the
city authorities with the statement
that "the schools seemed to have

financing, the carefully planned school
buildings, the well-trained teachers,
the free text books, the one hundred
and one educational privileges and
advantages which are ours In this
year 1885 in our Washington public
school system. Then think back, If
you will, to time when none of
these existed.
The public school system OF the
District of Columbia had its origin
nearly 131 years ago. Two years after
the granting Of our city charter Con-
gress, by an act signed February "a.
1904, empowered the City Council to
provide for "a permanent institution
for the education of youth in the City
Of Washington"
A further act of December IS, 1904,
provided for the appointment of a
board of trustees. IS in number, Z
of whom were to be chosen by a
joint ballot Of the City Council. The
other six were to be selected by
private individuals who should con-
tribute more than $40 each to the
support Of the schools. This board
was further. required by Congress to
make provision for the instruction
Of those children whose parents were
unable to defray the expenses Of their
education. To maintain this free
educational feature-one Of the first
to be set up for any municipality
outside of New England-the City
Council was authorized to collect a
sum not to exceed 81 500 from the
taxes on Slaves and dogs, licenses
on carriages. and hacks, wines and
SpirituouS liquors, theatricals and
other amusements, and hawkers and
peddlers"
The largest individual contributor
to the school fund was, as might be
expected, President Thomas Jefferson.
In gracious letter from Monticello
dated August IA, 1905, he accepted
the presidency of the first board of
IS trustees which had been organized
in Washington on August 5, 1905, with
Mayor Brent presiding over the meet
ing held in the Supreme Court room
of the United States Capitol.
Two Schools in 1906.
October 81, 1906, the School Board

Beginning tomorrow the school bell
Is to be the measure Of time for the
household in nearly 100000 homes
here in the Nations Capital.
That epic moment, when 5-year-old
kindergarten Mary and 6-year-old
John are off for their first day OF
school, opens for them strange and
wonderful new world. And for father
and mother, starting them out on this
adventure, no less is this true. For
then, very often, is given them for
the first time the scope and signif1-
canoe of the vast organization which,
built upon the American ideals Of
free public education, reaches out for
every boy and girl Of school age In
our community.
Despite new buildings provided to
meet pressing major needs stressed
by the superinte ldent of schools, DR..
Frank W. Ballou, and the members
of the Board of Education, Distress
ingly crowded and Anticipated equip
ment in various schools are still to
be the portion Of all too many chill

Yet we have only to look back to
the so-called good old days" in our
city's beginnings to gain a measure
of patience with our present short
comingS.
Students to Total 99,722.
This month, according to the fig
ures available at the Franklin School
at Thirteenth and K streets, where
the administrative Offices of our pub
lie school system are located, it Is
estimated that the school population
of Washington in the white and COL
ored schools is to total 99,722 chill
dren. OF this number it is estimated
that there will be 38,424 white chill
dren in the elementary grades and
23,211 colored children. Twelve thou
sand. six hundred and eighty-two
white children and 6,074 colored chill
dren will attend Junior high schools.
Upon the basis of attendance at the
schools last June as the measure of
registration this September, it is esti-
mated that IL, 160 senior high school
pupils will apply for admission and
4,lo1 colored pupils. Using the same
figures as measuring rod, the white
teachers college will have an enroll
ment Of 478, the colored training
school for teachers 566. In the voca-
tional schools there was an enroll
ment of 1,l05 white pupils and 921
colored. All Of which totals 64,849
white children in attendance at 50
building units and 34,873 colored
children in 40 units. A building unit
may consist of several school build
ings under one administrative prin-
cipal.
To put it another way there are
1872 school units housed in 174 school
buildings in the District of Columbia
to take care of the dual educational
school system for white and colored
children.
Value of System Stressed.
Have you, Mr. and Mrs. Resident
of the District of Columbia, ever
asked yourselves when and where
this great system Of public education
in our city had its beginning and
what it would mean to be with
out it?

plan. an academy" was organized to
consist of as many schools as cir
cumstances should require and which
for a number of years consisted of
but two. One, known as the Eastern
Free School," was located on East
Capitol street. The Western" was
situated west of the White House, on
I street near Seventeenth.
For each of these schools there was
a principal teacher, who received a
salary of $500 per year out of which
he was required to defray the rent of
the school house, pay for the necessary
furniture used, the ink, the Winter
fuel and the salaries Of any assistant
teachers.
Many years. later, while studying
law in Washington, Salmon p. Chase,
afterward Chief Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court, who presided
over the impeachment proceedings of

who was destined to be referred to
as enc of the greatest lawyers before

Among the rules for the govern.

Every scholar on entering the school,

have been in the minds of this early
school board, doubtless due to the
fact that the education Of girls Of the
humber classes was considered OF
small account.
Education was forbidden to slaves
and the fact that free Negroes were
not under this restriction was of little
avail, since there were no schools
worthy Of the name until after their
emancipation.
The plans of the original board
OF Is trustees, Of subsequent boards
and OF the city corporation itself, for
nearly 40 years seems to have been
not SO much for a system Of public
schools as we now understand them
as for sort of national university
supplemented by schools for teaching
the rudiments Of knowledge necessary
to the common purposes of life" A
public library was also a contemplated
feature Of the set-up.

son himself who was the chief author

several years earlier proposed SINH

he again vigorously advocated in 1917
