_’ PLAN TO RATE CADETS. P China— This exclusive China is noted especially for the delicate tracery designs worked out ‘in gold on geld. It is almost” im- possible to describe its rare beauty; it is one of those things which has to be seen to be apprecl- ated.

As Christ- mas rememberance to your lady friends there is nothing that will be more appreciated. The National Remembrance Shop (Mr. Foster’s Shop) t One door from Pa. AVQ. Efficlency Basis !‘ormuhfied at Con- ference of Officials. Plans for rating members of the Washington High School Cadet Corps on an efficiency basis were formulated at a conference yesterday afternoon between Asst. Supt. Stephen E. Kramer, Lieut. Col. Wallace M. Craigle, U. 8. A., professor, of mili- tary sclence and tactics in the high schools, and principals of the kigh schools. The plan gives each soldier- student a rating oa important points in his military work. The ratings will be recorded in a card index system which will be established. The principal aim of the rating sys- tem is to standardize military work in the high schools. Heretofore stand- ards have been more or less individual to the different high schools. The rat- ing system also is designed to give | the cadets academic credit for their military work which will aid those who go to college.

More legislation of a constructive character has been secured in the past twelve months than in any lke period in the history of the organiza- tion, declared Wayne B. Wheeler, gen- eral counsel and legislative superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, at the opening of the workers' confer- ence and twentieth national conven- tion of the organization at the First Congregational Church today. Mr. Wheeler congratulated the pro- hibition forces for the “splendid rec- ord made in securing prohibition en- forcement. legislation during the past year,” declaring that the first three victories won were in securing ade- gr‘:fi appropriations to enforce proe Outlines Future Policy. Mr. Wheeler then outlined the fu- ture policy of the organization re- garding legislation for enforcement of the prohibition law, which, sum- marized, was as follows: “Asking only for such enforcement legislation as is necessary for an honest enforcement of national pro- aibition based upon the experience of the law-enforcement department. “Urging adequate appropriations for the law enforcement department, because these appropriations are es- sential to efficient law enforcement. “Opposition to every effort to sweaken the national prohibition code by a beer and wine amendment or to raise the alcoholic content in the definition of intoxicating liquor for beverage use. “‘Opposition to legalizing the sale of liquor on American ships and op- position to ‘the proposed amendment to authorize shipment of liquors from one wet country through this nation to another wet country.” Several Are Speakers. Dr. ¥. H. Russell presided at the early session. and following the ad- dress by Mr. Wheeler, others to speak included P. A. Baker, who took as theme, “The Next Congress— The Brewers' Fight”; F. Scott McBride, “State Codes to Enforce the Eigh- teenth Amendment,” and Brooks Lawrence, who spoke on “Holding the Standard of State Legislation.” General discussion of the subjects téuched upon consumed the remain- der of the morning session. ‘The principal speakers at the later session today will be James A. White, E..B. Dunford. Willilam H. Anderson and Parker Shields. The conference will last until next Tuesday. —_— HEARING IS REFUSED ON TUBERCULAR SCHOOL Commissioners Tell Piney Branch Citizens Situation Could Not Be Changed. Replying to a request from Darr, Whiteford & aDrr, attorneys, senting the Piney Branch Citizens' Association, asking for a hearing to protest against the erection of the Tuberculosis School at 14th and Up- shur streets, the District Commission- ers yesterday refused to grant the hearing. The city officials based their re- fusal on the grounds “that the most careful consideration was given to this matter by the Commissioners be- fore the site was selected, and they do not feel that any arguments that have or may be presented would change their opinion, that the site selected is l.ha best available site for the school.” roposed school is a public continues the communica- it had to be located on land owned by the District of Columbia, as the appropriation aid not provide for the purchase of a site; and every available piece of land owned by the District of Columbia was considered before this site was selected.” The association, through its at- torneys, it was learned last night, will carry the contest to the courts. Should it fail there, it was said, it will place the grievance of the Piney Branch Association before Congress. GEN. WILLIAMS HONORED. Maj. Gen. C. C.

Is Lie, Gov. Small Is Told. By the Assoclated Prees, SPRINGFIELD, IlL, December 1.— Gov. Small of Illinois today made public a statement in which he told of a letter received from O. H. Jen- kins, director of public welfare, deal- ing with alleged grand jury corrup- tion and purporting to be an expose of political forces at work to destroy Small and some of his colleagues. The correspondence grows out of the pres- ent indictment by the grand jury of Gov. Small, Lieut. Gov. Sterling and Vernon Curtis, Grant Park banker, on charges of embezzlement of $2,000,000 of state funds. In his letter to the governor, Jen- kins referred to rumors afloat ;for some time that State's Attorney Mor- timer possessed information connect- ing friends of Gov. Small with at- tempts to fix the grand jury so it ;‘oluld not return the indictments last uly. ‘When these rumors finally reached publication, Jenkins, according to the letter, was informed that they in- volved him in an alleged attempt to bribe William D. (Buck) Evans, a member of the grand jury which pro- cured the indictments. Gov. Small made public two letters sald to have been recelved by Direc- tor Jenkins from Evans, offering to trade information of a grand jury scandal for jobs for himself and son, and threatening to make damaging affidavits if the jobs were not deliv- ered. Jenkins' letter to the governor called the bribery story “a damnable lie, the result of a conspiracy long ago entered into.” Everybody Loves It i i ABE LINCOLN HOMEMABE' 35 Varieties—Always kresh and Delicious— You Can Pay More—But None mzp_‘ma_l_nmanr. ' Maj. .Gessford and Capt. Judge . Give Up Active Duties. Maj. Gessford, whose retirement as police chief became effective last mid- night, visited police headquarters Tues- dsg afterncon, turned in his equip- ment and said farewell to those who assisted him in administering the af. fairs of the department. His pension allowance is $2,250, one-half the sal- ary he received. Retirement of Capt. Thomas Judge of the tenth precinct also become ef- fective last night. His retirement al- lowance is $1,200 annually. Private: J. 8. Hester and J. 8. French will re- tire on a monthly allowance of $69.30. Four new members of the force were sworn in today. Bennett Lan- caster, one of the qulrlel. formerly was connected with the force. He quit during the war with Germany and.served in the Marine Corps. The others are Luther E. Brown, Frank J. Knoble and Harry Corney. Policeman W. 8. Smoot ol the tenth precinct has. been promoted to the polluon of precinct detective. Maj. Gessford yesterday issued his last official message to members of the department. His message reads: “In leaving the service of the police department I would be remiss if I did not extend to the members and em- ployes of the department my deep ap- preciation of the assistance and co- operation which they have given me at all times during my period of office as major and superintendent. “It is with a great deal of pleasure and gratitude that I look back upon the ever-willing co-operative spirit which ‘was rendered by the members and em- ployes in my efforts to give to the citi- zens of the District of Columbia the very best police protection which was possible, and I want to thank each and every one of them for their cordial sup- port and work well performed.” Hampden's ".I!lnin‘ of the HOUSE RUINED BY FIRE. Walter H-mpden and his capable com-| B1aze at 1128'3d ‘Street Also 'rm pany gave their first and only per- formance in this city last night of “The Taming of the Shrew.” It was a per- formance which, as a whole, seemed to, greatly please the audience, and pre- sented both Mr. Hampden and Miss Mary Hall, who was the Katherine of the cast, in what seemed to te a modern conception of the Shakespearsancomedy.” That is *was pleasing cannot be ques- tioned, unless by students who have a fondness for the older and what they are pleased to term “the classic” in- terpretation of the play and its charac- ters. Mr. Hampden is a deep student of Shakespeare and has pronounced ideas of his own, which critics gener- ally accept with much respect for their authority. His portrayal of Petruchio was therefore most interesting and en- Joyable. At today's matinee “Macbeth” will be presented, and this evening “The Serv- ant in the House.” Changes in Program. T.
