Allison Street Health
School 70 Be Abandoned

Today is the last of special feed
Ing and rest facilities for some 80
children at the Allison Street Health
School at Thirteenth and Allison
streets NV.
Originally set up for delicate chill
dren with positive tuberculin re-
action, sent there by the Health
Department, the school will be
abandoned until funds are made
available to remodel it for use by
the classes of crippled children now
at the Langdon School.
Health Officer George G. Rutland
and DR.. A. Barklie Coulter of the
Health Department tuberculosis
clinic have advised the Board of
Education that there is no need
for the maintenance of this special
school and that the children can
attend the regular schools without
danger to any one. It was pointed
out that almost 80 per cent of the
children tested have positive tu-
berculin reaction and are not in
the special school.
School officials said the Health
Department has given thorough ex-
animation to each child and has
certified in each case the child can
take up the regular school pro-
gram without danger. They said
beginning Monday the 80 children
would begin attending the schools
nearest their homes.
Along with the decision of the
Board of Education to abandon the
building for it's present purposes,
considerable pressure has been ex-
ercised, notably by the Kiwanis
Club, to have the building made
available for the crippled children
This was approved by the board on
recommendation of its Advisory
Committee on Handicapped Chill
dren and request for deficiency
funds of some $1,000 to make
changes and remodeling has been
forwarded to the Commissioners.
Also to be abandoned is the Tone,
School, which corresponds in the
colored divisions to the Allison
street school, which is for white
children. The colored crippled
classes, now at the Anthony Bowen
School, will not be moved to the
Toner, however, because of its age

Wash, lookup today after surren-
dering to Federal authorities.

ment of some $4,000 from the
Upper Marlboro branch of the
County Trust Co., ended q vain
three-year search by police and
Government agents.
Mr.. Seipp, assistant secretary
treasurer Of the bank, where he
was employed for Is years, walked
out of the institution on February
8, 1897, when examiners arrived for
q routine check of accounts, the
dispatch said.
Tells of Travels.
Deputy Marshal Anthony E. Man
derry, into whose Office the man
walked yesterday and gave himself
up, told the Associated Press the
man explained he had wandered
about the county since his disap-
pearance from the bank, riding
freight trains and working as a
transient field hand.
The marshal quoted him as saying
he had written only once to his wife
and three children, who moved to
Baltimore from their home in Upper
Marlboro after Mr.. Seipp disap-
peared.
Representative Sasscer, president
of the banking institution, said this
morning that he had not heard
officially of Mr.. Seipp's arrest.

appearance a warrant for his ar
rest on an embezzlement charge was

Investigation.
$4,000 Shortage Charged.
It was said that about $500 was
found missing at that time, but
full investigation of the banks
books showed that about $4,000
had been taken during an eight
year period from 1929 to 1887.
Mr.. Seipp was charged specifically
with having converted $1,000 to his
own use. The missing man was
formally indicted by Federal grand
jury in October, 1887.
Federal investigators said that
Mr.. Seipp had taken the funds to
help sick members of his family
and for stock speculation.
