SHORT CHANGED
BunkO Men Work Old
Trick TUice Here

The old short-change gag was
successfully pulled on cashiers in
two restaurants last night. police
were told.
The bunco men first entered a
restaurant at Eleventh Street and
New York Avenue Northwest,
where they gave the cashier, John
Bakales. a $40 bill with their
check and asked for small change.
In counting the money they hid
IS, and persuaded the cashier
that their change was short.
Later the cashier found it was he
that was short.
The men worked the same trick
on Janet Messimer, cashier in
Ninth Street restaurant.

PRINCE GEORGES
INSISTS LUDKESI
SALUTE FLAG
Barred From Schools
Unless They Yield

OXON HILL, Md, Sept. 8.
Prince Georges county school au-
thorities yesterday stood firm on
the ruling barring the six children
of August A. Ludke, of Oxon Hill
from attending public school in
the county.
When they applied for admis-
sion to school at the opening of
the fall session yesterday, they
were informed by Principal
Thomas Gwynn, jr., that they
could not enter without the per-
mission of Boykin Watson, presi-
dent of the school board, or
Nicholas Orem, superintendent of
county schools.
MUST OBEY LAW
Asked if he would admit the
children, barred two years ago be-
cause of their refusal to salute the
flag in daily-class patriotic exer-
cises, Orem said that he would
be glad to do so if Mr.. Ludke
would instruct his children to obey
the Maryland law.
Since their disbarment the chill
dren had been receiving their edu-
cation in classes at home with the
help Of tutors and friendly neigh.
bors. Now, however, Mr.. Ludke
says he has no further facilities to
teach his children at home.
FATHER PROTESTS
II don't know where to turn
now" he said. IT can't pay for
private instructors and have no
more money to continue my
fight in the courts. But I will
not sacrifice my salvation for
an education, even for my chill
dren. We cannot worship man
or anything made by man and a
salute to the flag is the same as
worshiping it."
The children were barred from
schools after they had consistently
refused to salute the flag. Later
appeals to the State board Of ed
ucation and petitions for a writ
of mandamus to reinstate the chill
dren were of no avail.
Three of the children are now
Of high school age. They are
Ruth, 16; Frances, IS; and Fred,
IA. The children of elementary
school age are Louise, IL; Walter,
IL, and Esther, 10.

SCHOOL BOARD
SETS FEES FOR
NON RESIDENTS

Nonresident pupils, whose par
ents do not work in the Federal
Government and who wish to at
tend the District public schools
this semester will be required to
pay for their tuition in amounts
ranging from $259.95 for those at
tending Teachers College to $710
for night school students.
TUITION RATES
Tuition rates for nonresidents,
as suggested yesterday at the first
fall meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation by DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent Of schools, will be
asked as follows:
Teachers college, $259.95 per
year exclusive of books; senior
high schools, $110.45; Junior high
schools, $S8.26; elementary schools,
$61.53: vocational schools, $115.62;
vacation schools, $4.41, and night
schools, $7.10.
These rates, DR.. Ballou ex-
planned, are the actual cost per
pupil to the schools.
Nonresident paying pupils, a re-
port from the statistical office
shows, paid $4,013.16 to the Dis
trict schools last year, as against
323,513.84 which the District paid
to teach nonresident pupils whose
parents are employed by the Fed
eral Government.
COST PER YEAR
Nonpaying nonresident pupils
cost the Washington schools an
average of from $500, 600 to $400,-
900 a year, figures at the stats
tical office show. In 1925 the
Washington schools paid $418.-
534.05 to educate 2,805 nonresident
students.
If, school officials admitted, all
nonresident pupils were compelled
to pay tuition, they would be able
to ask for a smaller budget or,
with the sums expended on tuition
increase the teacher force or add
rooms to small school buildings
now overcrowded.

Ten To One!

Kingsley Keillor, instructor of the popular beginners chess class at the Y. M. c. A., gave an ex- hibition of simultaneous chess playing at the "" this afternoon. The instructor played ten boards at the same time, moving from one board to another as soor as a move was made. This is a diffi- cult feat in chess playing because of the infinite number of com binations ill even single game. To play ten games simultaneously requires a great amount of con- centration and skill, for a slight mistake usually means the loss of a game. MT. Keillor's last exhibi- tion, in which he won 20 out of 9 games was received with much enthusiasm.
 AS an added entertainment for the chess students, a blindfold game was played by William War ner. MT. Warner played a game without seeing either the board or his opponent.
