Teachers Gather for Conference With
Principals?Objection to Vaccination
Made bj Parents.
Fifty thousand or thereabouts of Washington's
unwilling children, of all ages,
from the little chap just entering kindergarten
to the sapient young man who
graduates next June, will take their
places at school desks Monday morning
promptly as the "last bell" rings at 9
o'clock.
Supt. Stuart says there is always an
increase in the enrollment of between 2
and 9 per cent, about HOO more school
children each year. What the figures of
the 1906-1909 season will be cannot be.
foretold accurately. Probably by Wednesday
the figures will be known.
Today the teachers are holding meetings
throughout the entire school system.
This morning the supervising principals
met their teachers and gave thorough Instructions
as to opening the schools and
announced the changes that have been
made. Some teachers who just recently
returned to the city had not yet heard of
the transfers and other changes.
The high school teachers met at 2
o'clock tills afternoon and listened to a
comprehensive talk from their principals.
Congestion Is Believed.
This year will not see much congestionJudging
from information given by Supt.
Stuart, the rapid increase in the population
of certain sections is being met by
a sufficient number of school buildings
Just as fast as human energy will permit.
The rapid increase is now in the nortnwest,
out along 14th street extended.
School buildings are under way to meet
the growing school population.
A splendid sixteen-room school building
on Columbia road will relieve the congestion
in that section when the doors
i are thrown open to pupils. This school
has plain and simple lines, but there is
nothing about It which is not artistic. The
broad and low building with its wideeaved
roof is a pleasure to the eye and
entirely different from the old prison-like
school buildings of an earlier day.
There are several portable school buildings
which are going to play an important
part, this fall, in relieving the crowded
conditions in certain schools- At the
Ross. Morgan and the Chevy Chase
schools the conditions are rather bad according
to Mr. Stuart. Portable schools
will be rushed to those points and erected
right alongside the main building, thus
providing one more room.
These portable houses are wonders.
They can be taken to pieces easily and
transported to any other point in the
city at short notice. They are well heated.
That they are portable does not mean
4U d*t * I
men iiicj aie iiimay, unsaie or insanitary.
Vaccination Question Up.
The vaccination question is worrying a
lot of the citizens of this town. The
offices of the schools in the Franklin
School building are full of communications
from parents and others protesting
against the regulation that pupils must
be vaccinated.
Many evidently are of opinion that compulsory
vaccination is a ruling of the
board of education, when in reality it is
a law of Congress. The schools have no
option but to insist that pupils shall be
vaccinated.
The cards that the children will present
to their teachers Monday have vaccination
certificates on the back of them. That
applies of course to old pupils, as the supposition
is that they have been vaccinated.
Incoming pupils must be vaccinated
| or show that they have been and that the
I virus "took."
j One or two letters on Mr. Stuart's desk
show that the senders of them were
"r'aring up" on their hind legs over the
thought of compulsory vaccination. The
ground taken Is that the injection of
vaccine virus Is a cause of scrofulous
disease.
Supt. Stuart has little to say on the
subject, as he is bound by the law. He
did remark that medical men seemed to
be a unit regarding the efficacy of vaccination
and that cases where it had
caused trouble were rare.
Portable Schools Arrive.
A number of the portable schoolhouses
purchased by the school board arrived in
this city yesterday and will be erected by
the Engineer Commissioner's corps.
The buildings will be put up at Ross

Taft Refuses to Comment on the
Controversy?Explanation
by Virgil P. Kline.
ST. LOUIS, September 19.?William R
Hearst, organiser of the Independence
party, in a political speech here last
night, discussed the comment made by
Senator Foraker on the letters read by
Mr. Hearst Thursday night at Columbus,
Ohio. Mr. Hearst said:
"Mr. Foraker replies in characteristic
ronuhltcan manner. He admits that he
did serve Standard Oil and is proud of it.
His statement Is based on letters I read
last night. If he had seen the tetters 1
am going to read tonight he would have
denied the whole matter. The first letter
follows:
"20 Broadway.
"New York. January 27. 1902.
"My Dear Senator: Responding to your
favor of the 2ath, It gives me pleasure
to hand you herewith certificate of deposit

understanding. Your letter states the
conditions correctly, and I trust the transaction
will be successfully consummated.
Very truly, youra,
"1. D. AROHBOLD.
"Hon. J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C."
Opposed the Jones Bill.
The second letter, as read by Mr.
Hearst, was as follows:
"26 Broadway,
"New York, February 23, 1902.
"My Dear Senator: I venture to write
you a word in regard to the bill introJ

UUL'CU U| ocuatui uviico V4 /linaiiaac,
known as S. 649, Intended to amend the
act 'To protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopolies,'
etc., introduced by him December 4.
"It really seems as though this bill is
very unnecessarily severe, and even vicious.
Is it not much better to test the
application of the Sherman act before
resorting to a measure of this kind? I
hope you will feel so about it, and I will
be greatly pleased to have a word from
you on the subject. The bill Is, I believe,
still in committee. With kind regards,
yours, very truly.
"J. D. ARCHBOi^.
"Hon J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C."
"The bill referred to in this letter is the
one introduced by Senator Jones of Arkansas
In the United States Senate. Consequently.
Mr. Foraker's statement does
not convince when he said the correspondence
had nothing to do wkh anything
in Congress.
"There is no greater danger to the republic
than this mighty power of money

criminals than those trusts that corrupt

at his office shortly after 11 o'clock.
"You may say that I have nothing
whatever to say," was his only comment.
Senators Foraker and Dick lunched together
at the Sinton Hotel and let it be

It was admitted that the Feraker situation

again announced that he had nothing to

Ohio Attorneys Surprised.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September ill.?Senator
Foraker was not an attorney of record
in any of the Standard Oil cases tried
in the Ohio courts.
"It is news to us all," said Assistant
Attorney General Bennett, "to hear that
Senator Foraker was employed as an
attorney in these fights."
Mr. Bennett, when asked concerning the
letter from Archbold to Foraker. urging
Bennett's defeat for the nomination for
attorney general of Ohio, said he never
before knew of such a letter being written.
He said that the reference to him
in the letter and to the experiences and
impressions of Archbold wet probably
secured when he put Archbold through a
cross-examination at the Hoffman House
in New York In lV.rt, when, is an attorney
for the state of Ohio, he was assisting
in conducting the cases against the Standard
Oil Company.
When asked whether or not Senator
Foraker opposed him in his fight for attorney
general, he said:
"I do not think so. I withdrew as a
candidate some time before the convention
was called, and I never had the opportunity
of seeing just where Foraker
would have been, but I am under ttie impression
he was not against me, but
rather was for me in my fight."
Engagement of Foraker.
NEW YORK, September 10.?'Virgil P.
Kline, for many years attorney for the
Standard Oil Company in Ohio, just before
his departure on an evening train
for Cleveland declared that there was no
mystery as to Senator Foraker's work as
an attorney for the Standard Oil Company.
He had personally engaged Mr.
Foraker, he said, as counsel for the company
in suits of ouster which were pending
against the corporation in the state of
Ohio.
Mr. K.nne aaaen:
"My recollection is that Mr. Foraker
filed at least one brief in those cases. I
cannot understand why his name should
not appear on the records. Nothing ho
did as counsel for the Standard conflicted
in any way with his duties and obligations
as a 1'nited States senator."
Sibley's Appeal to President.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y., September 10.?
Secretary Loeb's attention was called
yesterday to the letters read by William
R. Hearst at a political meeting in Columbus,
Ohio, Thursday night, which included
correspondence said to have passed
between Senator Foraker of Ohio. Representative
Sibley of Pennsylvania and
John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
Company. Last night Mr. Loeb issued
the following official statement, presumably
in reply to that portion of the correspondence
in which Mr. Sibley is alleged
to have called on the President in
behalf of the Standa^-d Oil Company:
"When Secretary Loeb's attention was
called to the alleged letter of ex-Renre
sentative Sibley, he stated that Mr. Sibley
was one of several hundred people In the
political and financial world who at different
times appealed to the President not
to prosecute the Standard Oil Company.
To all of these people the President listened
with all politeness and consideration.
He found himself unable to agree with
any of them, however, and the prosecutions
were accordingly ordered continued
and in progress at the present time."

Louis that an affidavit signed by F. S.
Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio,
identified Gov. C. X. Haskell of Oklahoma
as having been a party to Standard Oil
alleged negotiations. Gov. Haskell today
declared the statements were absolutely
false. "The assertion that I had anything
to do with the Standard Oil Company is
absolutely false." said Gov. Haskell. "On
the day the affidavits are said to have
been signed. September 12, lituS, Mr. Monnett
was in Oklahoma City and on that
day made a speech in which he exonerated
me from all connection witli the
Standard Oil matter. It is unbelievable
that any man would make such a speech
and on the same day sign an affidavit
stating the contrary thing. There Is no
truth in the charges.
it is true inai a Mr. nasKeu was mentioned

Col. \V. C. Haskell, sealer of weights

Ohio, when his attention was called
today to the statement of Gov. C. N. Haskell
of Oklahoma that it was he to whom.
W. R. Hearst referred at Columbus as
having certain business relations with
the Standard Oil Company, said:
"I know nothing whatever about this
matter?it is news to me. Gov. Haskell
is evidently mistaken, as I never liad any
connection either in a business or social
way with the Standard Oil corporation or
any of its officers, and- 1 have never had
the pleasure of the acquaintance of any
of the many officials of that company.
"I do not recall ever having a case involving
the Standard Oil Company during
my administration as marshal of the
United States court for the northern district
of Ohio from 180U to 1SP6. Furthermore.
I have no idea what man of the
name of Haskell Mr. Hearst refers to.
DENIED BY BRYAN.
Says Oil Trust Contributed Nothing
to Democratic Pnrttr
NEW YORK, September 19.?As he was
departing from this city today Mr. Bryan
was asked whether the Standard Oil Company
had contributed to the democratic
party, as charged by \V. R. Hearst in an
address at Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Bryan
replied:
"The Standard Oil Company has contributed
nothing to the democratic party."
Mr. Hearst said at Columbus:
"Mr. Bryan appointed Mr. C. N. Haskell,
political paymaster of the Standard
Oil, to be chairman of his committee on
platform. After a platform had been
drawn up by Mr. Haskell which was
satisfactory to the Standard Oil. Mr.
Bryan made Mr. Haskell treasurer of his
national campaign fund, to collect from
the Standard Oil substantial evidence of
the great monopoly's appreciation.
"That appreciation was promptly forthcoming.
when Mr. Mack suddenly announced
that he had discovered {300,000
which had been left over frcm the past
campaign *
"He probably received it through Mr.
Haskell, for Mr. Haskell is a man who
has handled hundreds of thousands of
dollars for the Standard Oil. Air. Haskell
was one of the men who was alleged to
have attempted to bribe your great and
honest former Attorney General Frnncja
S. Monnett."

Graham much last night, nor the rage
this morning, either. He was committed
to jail for 364 days by Judge Kimball of
the Police Court for carrying the razor
and placed on his personal bonds because
of the rage. It all happened about S>
o'clock last night out BladenBburg road
In the vicinity of Cottage Hill, where

Graham, his wife and several little Grahams
dwell usually In peace, except when
Graham accumulates a grouch.
Last night he was the proud possessor
of an especially irritable variety of grouch
and upon entering his home began finding *
fault with almost anything that came
under his observation and numerous
things that didn't. Mrs. Graham was the
butt o' .t all. and she took It martyr-like
until Graham began complimenting things
about the house in language unsulted to
tender feminine ears or receptive children.
Mrs. Graham became sassy, and Graham
fell in a rage and flew to his rasor.
Things assumed a serious aspect for
a while in the Graham mansion, until
Mrs. G. took to her heels and spun off
several city blocks to the nearest patrol
box on the Bladensburg road, where the
told Mounted Policeman Vanderscaflf her
troubles. The matter culminated in Graham
being sent to the ninth precinct,
where two charges of threats and carrying
concealed weapons were lodged
against him.
In court this morning Graham was still
in a rage, minus the razor. Mrs. G. was
unrelenting.

A Kentucky Experience I
CDTFEK AND TEA STILL AT WORK. H
A Ky. lady had a very agreeable experience
In leaving off coffee drinking, which she found
harmful, and taking on l'ostuni. She never loss*
an opportunity to tell others of her good fortune.
She says:
"For <?ver 30 rears I suffered from nervous
trouble. Four years ago I was down with nerv- H
oils prostration and heart trouble,. After several
months of misery my doctor, one of the best
in the country, told me I must quit coffee and
"What was 1 to do? I must have some warm H
t>cverage for breakfast, as I hsd never done
without one In my life.
"I decided to try Fostum, little thinking It
would amount to anything. At first I did not
like it, but when we boiled it 15 minutes, until
it was dark and rich, it was delicious, and 1
soon began to feel better.
"After using Foe turn constantly three rear* I
feel like a different person. I always bad been
a poor sleeper, bnt now aleep well and am In
perfect health. And 1 glre the credit to Postum. i
"M.r entire family now use It In preference
to any other beverage at meals. I am an enthuslastlc
friend of Poetum and I know that
wliat It has done for me It will do for others.
so I never let a rhanre ro by to recommend It
to those who suffer from coffee drinking." |
