At least one Institution of higher education in Washington and possi- bly two are involved in an investiga- tion that has been conducted quietly by the bureau of education of the Interior Department for some time past, seeking to put a check on “mushroom” colleges and universities handing out degrees with lavish gen- erosity. Officials of the bureau of education, though reticent to discuss the investigation, admitted that one institution in Washingon has been carrying the award of degrees too far. in common with other educational institutions throughout the nation whose activities in this regard are under surveillance. A legislative campaign to make it illegal for such institutions to func- tion may be started by the federal bureau, it was learned today. At the same time it was made known that annulment of the charter of one uni- versity that has been handing out degrees without regard to scholastic attainments may be asked in a civil sult expected to be filed in an eastern court.

Many carriers were invited in today for a brief cup of coffee, and present- ed with candy, so that many of them returned to their own homes almost as heavily laden as when they started out on their routes. At the main city post office quiet prevailed, after the extreme activity of tha Jast week. Corridors were de- Serted, and only the stamp and’ gen- eral delivery windows were open. Marines were on guard as usual.

Despite the fact that the city post office handled approximately §,000- 000 letters between December 15, and 25, and delivered 177,000 large parcels and probobly twice that many small parcels, making a total of approxi- mately $00,000 pieces of parcel post delivered, this tremendous amount of maf] was handled and delivered at once to residents without the neces- sity of the regular carriers and clerks :\O:x::) in the hands of the addressees working on Christmas day. SLIP-UP IN CONFERENCE |COMMISSIONERS TO SCAN ON MUSCLE SHOALS OFFER| ELKINS TEACHERS’ BILL Secretary Weeks Not Advised of Plans Announced by San Francisco Contractor. ketirement ‘Would Be Extended to Those Leaving Service Be- fore June, 1919. The bill of Senator Elkins of West Virginia to extend the benefits of the teachers retirement law to local £chool teachers who resizned or were given perpetual leave prior to June, 1919, will go before the District Commissioners for a report at their next board meeting. The retirement act provides that it shall apply to all teachers who were on the rolls in June, 1919. Senator Elkins' bill woud change that pro- vision to apply to any teacher who, having reached the age of forty-five, or who, having taught continuously for fifteen years in the public schools and. by reason of accldent or illness not due to vicious habits, having become physically or mentally disabled and incapable of satisfac-}| torily performing the duties of a teacher, resigned from the service or was placed upon an Inactive list. by the board of education on or before June 1, 1919. It is understood the amendment would afford financial rellef to about twenty-elght veteran teachers who were relieved from active duty- before| June, 1919. It has been estimated that between $11,000 and $20,000 would be needed fo pay annuities to these teachers if they are brought under the retire- ment law. —_— NEGRO PASTOR IN JAIL. - Charged With Theft of Shoes From Week-Day Employer. ‘William J. Sims, 36 years old, who worked as a chauffeur on a delivery wagon for Joseph Berberich in the ddytime and served as pastor of a church. at 6% and N strcets Sunday mornings and nights during the week, was unablé to’conduct Christ- mas Services. His inability to preside over his flock yesterday was due to the action of Detectives Waldron and Boyle of the second. precinct, they having -ar< rested him on a charge of stealing shoes from his employer. The parson occupied a _cell not -miore than 300 feet from his church, having beeén unable to procure bond. The_detectives say that the minis- ter admitted taking shoes and dis- posing of them, some to members of his congregation and some to per- sons not e?nnec;ed‘:lllth his church. Fifteen_pairs of _staleq.. .. e IO S made for others, ¢ Conferences between Secretary Weeks and representatives of C. C. Tinker, head of a San Francisco construction company, in connection with the Muscle Shoals, Ala., nitrate and power projects. which the fatter had announced would be held today, failed to materialize. Secretary Weeks said he had not heen advised of the arrival of Tinker's repre- sentatives, and, in fact, had had no Francisco contractor. Tinker several weeks ago telegraphed the War Secretary he desired to make an offer for the Muscle Shoals properties for the sale and lease of which the gov- ernment is now negotiating with Henry Ford. Mr. Weeks replied, asking Tinker to send details of his proposal, and later the San Francisco construction com- pany head announced through the press that he would send representatives here to confer with Mr. Weeks. The impression in War Department quarters, although without positive in- formation, is that Tinker's offer had to do with completion of construction work at Muscle Shoals in event plans for sale to private Interests were abandoned. War Department officials were of the opinion today. that further negotiations with the Detroit manufacturer would be held in abeyance until the engineers who conferred with Mr. Weeks last week are authorized to speak with finality for Mr. Ford or until the manu- facturer can come to ..ashington for another conference. There is understood to be a number of details Mr. Weeks would like to have cleared up before he transmits a report to Congress on the Ford offer. —— R. A. CONN PRESIDENT.
