struggling Capital City.
Madison a Subscriber.
Samuel Blodgett Tayloe, brother
of John Tayloe, who built the
famous Octagon House at 174l New
York avenue, pledged a share of his
Potomac Bridge holdings which he
valued at 5000. He also gave $40 in
cash. John Tayloe duplicated
Samuels subscription.
James Madison is down for $50.
So is Thomas Corcoran, father of

tion's first archivist and collector of

Capitol. The son of Sir William
Lenthan, Speaker of the British
House of Commons, he had come
to America in 1893 to pursue his
profession. The Lenthall Home for

In contrast to the present ma
chinery OF congressional legislation
affecting expenditures for our Capt.
tai City's public school system are
| two separate sheets OF Colonial
yellum that have recently been
| brought to the attention OF those
| interested IN old Washingtonian<.
| Inscribed with the signatures of
men famous in local national his
tory, they bear testimony as to how
money for public schools was raised
| in the days when the Federal City
was still young.
Temporarily in the safe-keeping
Of John Russell Mason, librarian OF
the George Washington University,
these old documents show that our
public schools in 1905 were sus-
tanned in part by taxes and in part
by the subscriptions of citizens. Still
legible are the signatures of the
donors. The amount given by each
is opposite his name in varying
scale from SO to 5000.
Thomas Jefferson, then President
of the United States and the newly
elected president of the first Board
of Trustees of this city's first per
manent institution for the education
of youth" signed for 5000.
| His fellow trustees, Thomas Mon
roe, Gabriel Duvall, Thomas Tinget,
Joseph Bromley, John Tayloe, Rob-
ert Brent, william Brent, Samuel H.
Smith, William Cranch, George
Blagden, John Dempsie and Nicholas
King are also listed as donors to
this school fund.
Background of Pledges.
On December 5, 1904, an act OF
the City Council specified that the
proceeds from taxes not to exceed
$500, were to be appropriated for
the use of the public schools. These
taxes were not levied on property
however, but on specialties and IL
censes. This act of the City Coun-
Gil also provided for the appoint
ment of select committee of three
councilmen to solicit contributions
in money or lots for the benefit of
the new public schools.
With no public schools in New
York City or in Philadelphia, or in
the Southern States, and with taxes
for school support scarcely known
outside of New England, this action
was far-visioned departure almost
bordering upon radicalism. Perhaps
subscriptions from the public
spirited were intended to sugarcoat

WASHINGTON, (PD John L. Lewis declared today that secre- tary of interior Krug uttered "a ralsehood" in charging the United Mine Workers with a lack of CO., operation in the coal mine safety measures.
 That is one of Krug's charac- .criStiC SlurS-a falsehood," the UNIV leader told the Senate pub lc lands committee after Senator DWorShak (R.-Idaho), read to him part of Krug's testimony at an ear Her hearing.
 The committee is Investigating the Centralia, III, mine blast Mar. 25, which killed III men. Lewis re- iterated today the disaster was due to the negligence" of Krug, boss of the government-seized pits.
 The nation cannot afford to continue to kill and wound with impunity, the men who mine the nations coal" he told the com mittee.
