payments were paid the Federal Land
bank of Spokane in 1887. This in
cluded $1,3S1,OOO in payments on
extensions and $2,212,000 in loans
paid in full and special payments on
principal, the balance of S1,S19,OOO
being regular principal payments.
He explained that farmers who have
deferred such payments viii! need to
make them later since they have, IN
effect, heightened the terms of their
loans. But they have the privilege OF
making additional payments on any
regular installment date which may
be applied toward paying off the
principal sooner.
However, the temporarily reduced
interest rates on all loans will CON
tinue until June 80, 1910. On most
Federal Land bank loans through
national farm loan associations the
reduced rate is three and a half per
cent year, and for loans made dir
ectlv from the banks, four per cent.

EASTERN TO END
DOUBLE SHIFTS
Completion of New Addition
to School to Return It
to Normal,

Six years of staggered classes and
double shifts for crowded Eastern High
School will end on or about April 25
wnen the 1884 pupils and 10l teachers
will resume the normal school day
schedule, it was learned yesterday.
The return to normal schedule will
be made possible through the compile
ton of the new 14-room addition at
the high school, which is expected to
be completed for inspection by the
Commissioners this week.
Meanwhile, according to Assistant
Principal T. j. Holmes, work is going
ahead on the new gymnasium, compile
ton of which was delayed by labor
difficulties.
Because of cramped space and
mounting enrollments, the high school
went on staggered shift in 1882. Part
of the students came at 8 am. and
the balance at 130 am.
In the fall of 1885, according to Mr..
Holmes, it was felt necessary to 90 on
the straight double shift, the morning
group coming from $3.50 to 1890 and
the afternoon group from l to S pm.
Immediately schedule complications
arose because of the number of pupils
having jobs after school hours. The
school then made survey of the en-
ployed students and successfully
worked out the schedule problem.
According to Mr.. Holmes. approxi-
mately 300 pupils are now working
part-time jobs. These, he said, will
receive special schedule consideration
for the remainder of the school year
Only few students who were working
mornings and attending afternoon
class will be affected, he said.

KING RECREATION
BILL GETS STACKING
Frederic A. DeIano Believes
Consolidation Plan Can
Be Worked Out,

Considerable progress has been
made in the development of a well
organized recreation system for the
National Capital by land acquisition
and improvement programs IN recent
years, Frederic A. Delano, chairman
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. said yesterday,
adding that 1.-The single phase CT this
entire development that to date has
been the most difficult in which to
make progress is the operative phase"
In principle, Mr. Delano favors the
measure recently introduced by
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee and now pending
before that committee. In an effort
to unity recreation activities, the bill
would set up a board consisting of the
District Commissioners having charge
of public welfare. the superintendent
of schools, the superintendent of the
National Capital Parks, the chairman
OF the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and a citizen
of the District to be named py the
Commissioners for a term Of three
years.
Scheme Worked Elsewhere.
Every many cities, including Chi
cago, have gone through the same
experiences as we are trying to solve
in Washington, to wit, where the
park commissioners having to dc with
large parks, the recreation centers
and the public school system, each
is attempting to deal with the play
ground facilities for the entire city,
he declared, but in spite of the
many arguments against combining
these facilities, a scheme of co-or-
dination of all recreation facilities
has been worked out elsewhere.
Il can't for a minute admit that il
is not possible to work it out in
Washington, and If it does not work
out, it will be due to failure to prop
erly appreciate the public interest.
THE proper course to take, it seems
to me, is to set up permanent COM
mission, representing the three OF
more interests involved, to act as a
board of directors, which would meet
at stated intervals in the conduct OF
affairs.
Must Have Cooperation.
II feel very strongly that we cam
not solve this problem unless there
is real and honest disposition on the
part of the three interests involved to
cooperate to the best interests Of the
public in general"
Recalling that a committee in 1890
set up with the aid of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, recommended that the entire
recreational system in Washington
be operated by "a single administra-
tive agency" Mr.. Delano observed
that this recommendation has never
been carried out.
"The interest Of the Planning COM
mission in this matter is now, as it has
been from the beginning, in aiding in
every way possible the development
Of comprehensive and unified recrea-
ton system for the District Of Co.
lumbia."

FIREMAN TO FACE
INQUEST |NDEATH
Lands Is Firm in Denial of
Having Beaten His
Estranqed Wife.

James L. Lands, 23-year -old rookie
fireman, still firm in his denial that he
had beaten his estranged wife, Mrs.
Blanche Gertrude Lands, %, with an
improvised sandbag and jagged stones,
was taken to police headquarters again
last night for routine police lineup
and then was returned without further
questioning to the ninth precinct sta
ton to await a coroner's inquest at
11:30 am. Tuesday.
Mrs. Lands died at 43O am. yes
terday in Casualty Hospital of q frac-
tured skull and multiple cuts received
in furious attack on lonely stretch
of Twenty-fourth street NE. early
Thursday.
Further questioning of the fireman
by police yesterday morning failed to
shed new light on the case, Lands in
sisting his wife was injured when she
fell from his car.
Third Degree Denied.
Jean M. Boardman, one of the young
f1reman's attorneys, told reporters at
police headquarters, after he had been
elected from Homicide Squad room
where detectives were questioning his
client, that they're giving him the
third degree to make him sign a con-
feSsiop."
Third-degree tactics were denied,
however, by Capt. Ira E. Keck, acting
chief of detectives, who said Llndis
was questioned briefly and returned
to his cell after refusing to add to his
previous statement.
TIE denied Thursday that he had
struck his wife with the improvised
sand bag and bloody stones found near
her unconscious form, but admitted
having slipped from his station at
the flreboat to go to his wife's house at
2014 Monroe street NE. early Thurs
day.
Police said he claimed that while
riding in his car his wife jumped out
at Twenty-fourth street NE. and
sVi ueh IleT neaQ on q rear 1ender.
Held for Inquest.
Although Mrs. Lands remained al
most constantly in coma since she
was taken to the hospital police said
she once rallied sufficiently to humble:
Bring Jimmie in here so he can
see what he's done to me-"
An all-night vigil at the bedside
OF the dying woman by Detective
Sergt. Robert Barrett. in the hope
that she would enlarge on the state
ment, proved futile.
Lands was to have been arraigned
in Police Court yesterday On a charge
of assault with intent to KIM, filed to
forestall f1aoeas corpus move by his
attorneys, but the proceeding was
cancelled following Mrs. LAndis'
death. He is now being held for the
coroner's inquest.
