old Joe Wheeler, whom 1 saw go to the r<

front to defend his country, and Fitz- K'

hugh Lee. who headed the first troops u

that entered Havana in the Spanish. ti

American war. And in that conflict let m

me say that we of America were T

brought into complete accord. We all risaw the boys of the north and of thesouth go to the front in IMS to defend tlthe Union. They went side by side, as a irUnion. They went side by side, as a irbrotherhood of man. all of which must tl

to Close Institution.A committee of women that called jat the District building today to pro-

test against the Intention of theboard of children's guardians to giveup the Industrial Home School after ,July 1. was told by Commissioner Ru- rdolph that the city heads have no j 1jurisdiction over the question ofwhere that board places the childrencommitted to its care. ! tMrs. Edmund Brennan and Mrs. C. jA. Hawley, who called on the Com- 5 *

missioner, then made arrangements ^to confer tomorrow morning with JJudge McMahon of the Police Court. | aas the two police court judges and %,one justice from Criminal Court ap-point the board of children's guard- jlans.

Tlve board of guardians has forisome time been in favor of the plac- Jing of boys and girls commited to it-Jbv the Juvenile Court in private j ehomes rather than in institutions. In j acarrvine out that Dollev the boardgradually has been withdrawing Vchildren from the Industrial Home J.School as suitable homes are found forthem. ^The present controversy was pre- m.eipitated by the announcement of the i]board of guardians several monthsago that after July 1 It would haveno further need for the IndustrialHome School.The only step which the Comismissionershave taken in the matter

was to ask the board of charities toinvestigate and report on the questionof what should be done withthe home school during the nextfiscal year if the board of guardianshas not further use for it. The boardof charities will make its recommendationsto the Commissioners in afew days.
