M. THISTLETHVVA1TE TALKS ON MULHALL Regards the Lobbyist As a Crook Wilson and Marshall Friendly.

"The relations between Vice President Marshall and President Wilson are Just as pleasant and just as cordial now as they ever were," declared Mark Thlstlethwaite, secretary of Mr. Marshall, today, "and I have heard of no report that they were otherwise." Mr. Thistlethwaite has been away from Washington for two weeks and this morning arrived to be present at the wedding of his sister, which took place late this afternoon at the family home on North Eleventh street. "The only thing I can think of which might have caused the report to be circulated " he continued, "are the speeches the vice president made before the National Democratic club meeting, in New York city." There Mr. Marshall denounced the methods used by wealthy capitalists and the men who depended upon Washington legislators for their wealth. The speech was a warning to the rich. "The New York papers demanded, editorially, that Mr. Wilson reprove the vice president for his 'slanderous' remarks, which were characterized as socialistic in nature. Mr. Wilson never thought the occasion worthy of censure that I know of. Are Good Friends. "Mr. Marshall continues to be a frequent visitor at the White House, and has many business and social talks' with the president, who holds him in high regard, so the editorials of the New York newspapers had no effect upon Mr. Wilson, I believe. "What about the Mulhall case?" Thlstlethwaite was asked. "Mulhall tried to blackmail his employers in the National Association of Manufacturers, I believe and, when he failed, brought his documentary evidence to Washington with the purpose of getting revenge," he replied. "His business shows the inter-working of politics. He was slick, shrewd and unscrupulous and I think the people hold him in the same estimation I do, that he is a slanderer and a self-confessed crook. "He would never have saved those letters and communications of business through all those years had he not Intended to sooner or later bring about just what he has done, or blackmail his employers. The people, I believe, hold him in utter contempt and he is and will remain a social outcast during his life. "However, the Mulhall business will be not without a very good result. It will draw closer the relations between the Congressmen and the people. The country has a right to know how Con gress conducts its business, and the time has come when a man living in the west cannot pack his grip, come to Washington, take a suite of rooms at the Williard and call in a number of legislators whom he will try to influence regarding matters under the consideration of Congress."' RLE SCHOOL REPORT On Condition of the mond Schools. RichThe report of Charles W. Jordan, treasurer of city school board, gives the following totals for the school year just closed: For1 the high school fund the total receipts were $32,552.39. The total expenditures made from this fund were the same. The balance on hand ln the tuition fund this year Is $50,617.91, as- compared with a balance of $35,943.88 last year.

This la compared with a balance of $16,789.70 a year ago. New additions to some of the schools, the purchase of thirty-two lots on the west side, and the payment of a $10,000 debt have helped to decrease this balance.

BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM IS WHAT ALASKA DEMANDS

Memorial Has Been Sent to Congress From Northern Territory Indians Receive Most Attention. BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The inclination of the American people to extend their educational system in spite of any obstacle which may arise, ir evidenced in the action of the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska in memorializing Congress for the establishment of a school board in that sub-Arctic region. The petition recites that of the forty thousand mixed inhabitants of Alaska, three thousand attend school but that, no supervisory board to oversee this education movement has been established. There are forty-two white public schools in Alaska but many of them are carried on under difficulties and their existence is due largely to the enterprise and progressiveness of the citizens rather than to any governmental aid. More Aid For Whites. In view of the fact that the United States government appropriates annually millions of dollars for the education of the Indians, the people of Alaska believe that more aid should be given them for the education of white children. Experts are provided by the government for the supervision of the education of the Indians, but so far, little has been done in Alaska for the establishment of a solid school system. The Territorial Legislature in its memorial to Congress, asks that the board of education for Alaska be made up of the Governor of the Territory, the Secretary and Treasurer and of two superintendents of schools to be appointed. The board is to have the right, the memorial prays, to grant certificates to teachers and diplomas to students. It is provided, however, that normal school and state certificates from any of the United States will be given full faith and credit in Alaska and will be accepted as satisfactory evidence of the fitness of the holder of such to instruct in Alaskan educational institutions. A peculiar feature of the examination prescribed for would-be teachers in Alaskan schools deals with hygiene. Applicants for positions will be examined "with special reference to the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics and stimulants upon the human system." Algebra, geography, history, literature and similar major subjects will be contained in the examination. The'HygieHic 8tde. The stress laid, upon the hygienic side of education by the memorial of the Alaska Territorial Legislature is PILOT ENDSJOURNEY Local Car Makes a Splendid Record. "Motor never missed an explosion. The Big Brute is a wonderful car and is conceded so by all in the party of tourists. Ten dollars will put car back in condition it was when started." This was the message received at the Pilot Motor Car Co. from Fred Smith at the completion yesterday of the Indianapolis-Los Angeles automobile tour undertaken by 18 automobiles manufactured in Indiana. Every car which started in the tour completed It, a fact which was thought impossible. C. E. Hayes, manager of the Pilot Motor Car Co., was jubilant over the record made by the Pilot and expressed his regret that the car which made the tour had been sold to the agency ln Los Angeles before It had begun the trip. "Between you and me," he said today, "the record made by the Pilot will be hard to beat. MRS. GARRISON NOW WASHINGTON LEADER Mrs. Lindley M. Garrison, wife of Secretary of War Garrison, who, during the short time- her husband has been in office has won the name of b ing the most popular woman of the new social administration, as well as the most beautiful. She is possessed with the tact that will eatise her to be proclaimed dictator of Capital society.

typical of the modern trend of thought in the schools of today. Hygienic education is coming to the front rapidly. "No educational movement in modern times has had more vital relations to the children, to the homea they represent, and to the nation, than medical supervision of school children and the general hygienic move

ment it typifies, says Philander P Claxton, United States commissioner of education, in a bulletin on medical inspection in schools recently issued by the federal bureau of education. In this work, Dr. Claxton points out that although the medical Inspection system in schools found root in this coun-

try but twenty years ago, it has been established so firmly as to have be- but the-v dvid not strike for it hocome one of the salient factors of any vpr vhas ub"en rc-ulat.ng such a rueducational institution.

Boys' and Girls' Clubs. j Much has been done toward the Improvement of the health of school chilidren by the organization, frequently tnrough the agency of the federal bureau of education, of boys' and girls' .clubs. Instruction in health which could not well be Introduced In the regular curicuulae of public schools without overburdening them, can be 'extended readily in these boys' and ; girls clubs to be of Increased benefit. Many of these clubs take the form of I agricultural organizations. The boys' and girls' corn clubs, which have been fostered by the Department of Agriculture are well known throughout the country. The

other clubs are siminar in purpose, j street, Saturday night, was arrested members thereof competing for priz- ( this afternoon by Patrolman Westenes in the fields. This very practice, j berg. of course, serves more to better the Hornbeck attempted to enter the

health of children than any amount of book lore. State Agricultural colleges are assuming the direction of many of these clubs. Special attention has been given recently to rural schools. There Is a I separate division of the Bureau of , Education which devotes its entire en-1 ergies to overseeing this branch of ! education. The old district school, the j little red school house, so long and j so justly famed as the bottom rung in the ladder of American educational progress, is coming back to the attention of the educators and the Bureau of Education has taken a lively interest in the betterment of this ramification of the school system. State rural school commissions have been urged to co-operate with the Bureau of Education in an effort to bring about better educational conditions and important literature dealing at large with the subject has been prepared and may be nad upon application to the bureau in this city A NEW WATER For Southwest Fourth Street Ordered. A 1,500 foot water main will be constructed in Southwest Fourth street within a short time, according to an agreement entered into by the Board of Works and the water works company this morning. In order to secure the main, which is much needed, the city agreed to rent two fire hydrants on the street each at $49 per year. The right of the water works company to make this stipulation in laying new mains was questioned by City Attorney Bond. In the absence of any ruling of the public utilities commission, the water works company takes the stand that the charge is legitimate as the former contract between the city and the company is in force. The contract for the construction of the new light plant building was entered into with William F. Hendrix. The building is to be completed by October 1 and will cost $11,248. Much of the machinery for the plant extention has been installed. The residents of West Richmond threatened to desert certain West Richmond streets unless the city makes provisions for carrying the sewage from the river bank above into the river, instead of allowing the terminals to end on a level with the streets. They say that the stench is unbearable at times. The city engineer was requested to prepare an esti mate on the cost of extending the ! pipes down the bank. i Clayton Hunt, who was a committee

A Memphis character well known about town as brilliant, but boozy, was persistent in his applications for loans and extremely careless about repaying them. Several years ago this man had induced a local bank to loan him $40 and had given his note therefor. At the end of each three months he invariably appeared and asked that the note be renewed, and as there was nothing else to do the bank always renewed It. One day he went Into the bank and said to the cashier: "I'd like to renew that paper of mine you have here." "Certainly," replied the cashier. "I'll fix it up for you." The cashier made the proper preparations for the renewal, and as he was fixing up the paper he said: "Say, the directors were talking about this paper of yours the other day. They decided they wouldn't charge you interest on it any longer." "That's very considerate of them." was the reply. "I am glad to hear it. 1 am under obligations to them." "Xo," continued the cashier. "We're not going to charge you interest; we're going to charge you storage!" Saturday Evening Post. aeroplanes.
