., Section of City
BOARD HAS RELIEF PLAN
Thin ia the fir$t- of serfet of
article which will heu condition
in Philadelphia PuWe Schoelt,
ninety-four of which are te anti
quated that they menace the health
of the pupili.
' Scattered ' throughout the 'city are
ninety-four old schoeUbulldings that
conform se little with the requirements
of modern education as te be a .menace
te the health and future of the children
who nre forced te use, the classrooms.
These buildings have been located' en
a map prepared by the experts of the
Beard of Education. On that map
every section of the city is shown te
have its share of the danger spots, and
black X'h indicate the individual .prob
lems that confront the Heard.
The map has been made with great
care and even since its compilation new
needs have sprung up te create ad
ditional difficulties. In It there is,
however,- no sign of the new buildings
for which arrangements have been maue
nnd a number of which are new in
course of construction.
In all, forty new elementary schools
are needed. This number will allow
the abandoning of most of the unfit
buildings. The study of the situation
has shown that in many cases the' ad
vantageous placement of one new struc
ture will permit the nbandenment : of
two, three or even four small old build
ings all within walking distance of
the location for the new school.
Watch Population Trend
In the preparation of the map. which
is the bnnis for the great' advanced
building program advocated by Super
intendent K. C. Broeme, careful study
has been made as te the growth and
changing of population in the various
parts, of the city. ....
The newer residential sections must,
of course, jeceive their share, but the
Beard members had Individually nnd
collectively in private and at public
meetings stated their Intention that no
longer should nil the improvements go
te newer sections, forcing the crowded
sections te drift along with unsanitary
and Inadequate school houses.
There are at present In use ninety
six school buildings mere than fifty
yenrs old. Several are nearer tbe cen
tury mark, while ethers have even
passed thut age. Such buildings de net
meet the present requirements of
education. They may have plenty of
light and air but in almost every case
they are at least corriderless and the
moving of a class can bet accomplished
only by Its passing through ether rooms,
thus disturbing work snd causing gen
eral interruption. 4 ... ....
The total estimated cost of the build
ings which the-map shows are 'needed te
835,837,620. Ne member of the Beard
expects te finance this undertaking 'at
enie, but all are eager te get it under
Wa New BulMlni s Needed
In addition te the elementary schools
there are needed two new senior high
schools, eighteen Junier high schools,
the remodeling or improvement of 113
buildings, nnd additions te twelve
buildings. In some cases the new struc
tures will be built en the sites of the
presnt whoels, but even then. It Is
estimated that thirty-one additional
properties will have Je be purchased
and twenty-four full sites acquired.

CLUES ARE SLENDER, BUT
ARE CONSIDERED VALUABLE
Mrs.. Sterrett Still in Critical
Condition Jealousy Theory
Is Scouted
Postal Inspectors are-believed te have
struck .'a trail te the 'sender of the
poisoned,, cake, which' killed Walter W.
Sterrett, Berkley read, 'Deven, and
caused "tlie critical, illness-of .his wife.
Mr. IStcrrett, , an '.expert' .'.accountant
employed by -Price-, iyo,terhense It Ce.,
of this city,'-died Saturday at 8 P. M.
in the Br'yn,' Mawr Hospital', 'about fifty
hours after he' ate 'some .of. the .tempt
ingly Iced' cake. ,t ,
Mrs.' Sterrett, formerly -Miss 'Mar
tha '.Campbell, of -Clarenden, Pa., a
graduate nurse, Is still In a serious con
dition at ' the hospital, altneugh she
has a fair chance' te recover.'
Definite 'announcement that Sterrett's
death was caused' by arsenic poisoning
was msde this afternoon by, Dr. Her
bert Bosteek, 'Coreriera physician of
Montgomery County.
Dr. Bosteek said the postmortem he
performed revealed traces of that poison
In Mr. Sterjett's Intestines. He sealed
the proofs and sent them te District
Attorney Windle, of Chester County, in
wnese jurisdiction tne Hterretts uvea.
"Something startling may happen
this afternoon," ssld-Postefflce Inspec
tor Simpsen today. He has the brown
paper wrapper and the lacquered tin
box which carried the deadly gift
through the' mall.
Mr. Simpsen would net discuss the
case further. Se far he has been the
only official -who conversed with. Mrs.
Sterrett at tbe hospital. Although the
husband and wife ate the cake Thurs
day ,and became violently ill seen
afterward,, the case was net reported te
tbe authorities, until Saturday.
umciais at tne nespitai were said te
be under the impression-the poisoning
had been reported by private physicians
summoned by Mrs. Sterrett after her
husband became racked with agenising
pslDS Thursday night. ,
ClHes Are Slender
The. only dues before. jthe Investl-
gatorsare the lacquered tin box, the
rewn wrapping paper 'and the string
which inclesed the poisoned cake;
The -parcel was uddrcssed te Mrs.
Sterrett, tbe address -being typewritten
en .'a white slip of 'paper, neatly pnsted
en the outside wrapper. It was re
ceived at the Penn Square postal sta
tion at 11:30 A. M. Thursday.
These are slender clues at best, but
In poison mysteries of the-psst, intel
ligent use of tbe microscope, a careful
examination, for fingerprints and even
an analysis of the paper used have
placed crime experts en- the right trail.
Friends of the Sterretts in this city
and Deven scoff at a theory that icil-
eusy may have beep the motive that
nremnted the nolsener. The Hterretts
were married happily, they -ay and j
were preparing te move soeu te a beau
tiful home m St. Davids.
Businesx associates of Mr. Sterrett
in the offices of Price Waterbeuse &
Ce., Commercial Trust Building, where
he was employed, assert he had no
business enemies se far as they knew.

du Pent's Fight for
Senate
REPUBLICANS FACE
SPLIT IN OWN PARTY
Unexplained Scandal Which
Sent Millionaire te Wash-,
ingten Is Revived .'
CHARGES OF CORRUPTION -ARE
USED IN BITTER WAR
G. 0. P. May Lese Cengrei
man-at-Large te United
Democrats
By GEORGE NOX McCAlK '
The election of a United States' Sen Sen
aeor te succeed T. Celeman duPentand
a Cengressman-nt-lnrge te succeed
Caleb n. Lnyten is shaking the politics
of Delaware from the peak of New
Castle County te the bottom of' Sussex.'
It is a fight as relentless and bitter.
(but with lessitumult and wheese of
bagpipes) ns any ever conducted by
Jehn Edward Addicks in the brave dsys
of old.
Factional cleavage In the Republican
Party, involving tbe Senntershlp, adds
te the complexity of n situation that
has been shaping Itself since July of
1022.
' As a result, the hands en the dial of
probabilities point te these conclusiens:
The selection 'of T. Celeman duPelt
ss Senater from Deluware .hangs In un
certain balance. '
Tbe re-election of Congressman Caleb
R. Layten is net going te be a walk
ever.
It will require all the influence, per
suasive iever, money and political
adroitness of Senater duPent's friends
te send him back te Washington with
anything like a respectable majority.
He Is serving new as an apMiaUa
te till n vacancy '. J
Faces Hard Opposition' ta i
Net only will he be compelled te ces
tcrid with n bitter and vengeful. misV
erotic spirit, but he is faced with op-
position and a split in his own perty,
the extent of which his shrewdest poll
ticnl advisers cannot measure.
Judging by the sentiment abroad te
day 'I shall net be surprised, .If the
Democratic nominees carry the State. '
There arc a variety of reasons for
this conclusion. ,
Seme go back twenty years, ethers
less than twenty months. Regardless
of nge, all are potential in their bear
ins en the results of November 7. '
Factional nnd class hatred, family
estrangements and flagrantly vicious po
litical deals are involved in the duPent
contest.
The questions of personal fitness, of
inefficiency nnd inattention te duty, and,
possibly, ns occupying leading place,
the openly expressed fear that the poli
tical freedom of the people of Delaware
l as a whole will be menaced by Senater
duPent's election, nre involved.
One reason, I discover, for this fear
Ik that Sennter dul'nnt is the wealthiest
member of the United States Senate.
lie is n multi-millionaire.
lie nlse comes from the second small
est State in the Union, nnd one la
which charges of the bribery of It
officials hne loomed large in its peliti
cal history.
Only lat.t car the wnlls of the State
Senate chamber at Dever echoed te
reiterated charges of bribery and cer
ruptieu among its members.
Delaware is a three-county State.
Little State Hut "Oh My!"
It is fe small that if it were lifted
up bodily and -et down en n plane equal
in extent te Iiradferd. Outer nnd Ir
cumin1; counties In Pennsylvania, tbe
latter would exceed it in areu by or
1(1(10 Miiurc mile-).
Crowded into this State is n PODU

drop of -i hat.
There are certain families whose saw.
position nnd wealth have given thesa
prominence und who in the psst were
satisfied te stand as representative citi
zens, and were se regarded by tbstr
fellow- citizens.
Among them were the SnulsbnntL
du Pouts. Penniwells, Wolcetts, wifi
