Hull, chairman of the Military Committee of the last House, today said in the next Congress he would introduce a military bill similar to his bill in the last House.

Every regiment should have thirteen hundred men. Congress will certainly have a military bill which will provide for a three- battalion regiment and a provision allowing the President to increase the present 50,000 fiehting strength to 100,000, if necessary."

8AY8 A CONSPIRACY EXISTED Before Board of Education She Accuses Miss Lott of Working- Up a Charge Against Her. Speaking as if she was the victim of a conspiracy to force her out of the public schools as a teacher, Miss Catherine Victory appeared before the Board of Education last night to plead for a hearing io the malter. Probably no proceedings oi the Board were ever more intensely dramatic than when Miss Victory was telling her story of why she ask -d fdi a hearing as a matter of justice to bfcreelf. and accused her former principal, Bliss Lott, of having conspired with aQother woman to make charges artiest her. The eight members of the Board heard her story.

When it was completed President Zimmerman declared that there were no charges on record before the Board, and it took no action on Miss Victory's plea. The members of the Board in attendance were Messrs. Zimmerman, Harris, Woodbridge, LeForge, Eldridge, Bauer and Winokler. The absentees were Messrs. Kuhn, Stillman, Smith and Janeway.

After the regular business had been transacted, on motion of Mr. Woodbridge the privilege of the floor was extended to Miss Victory. Since the Board refused to reappoint and Miss Lott, principal of the Guilden street school, came to her and informed her that charges against her had been Tiade before Mr Bauer by a Mrs. Riley, who accused her of sending her boy, James, from school and of pinching him. She told Professor Ryan that she was sire some misuln had been made as Mrs.

Riley had thanked her previously or the interest she had taken in her boy and for the progress he had made. Although he had' been in the schools six years he had not made more advancement than had he been there two years, and Miss Lott had referred to him ai a dull boy, who might be allowed to go. When Protessdr Ryan finally asked her the charge was true she denied that it was true She saw Mrs Riley soon afterward and spoke about the charges, when he latter replied that had not made any charges against Miss Victory but had gone to Mr. Stillmao's store to learn it Miss Victory had the power to send her boy home. When she asked Miss Lott about the charges she denied knowing anything about them.

Soon afterward, however, she had seen a Mrs. Coyne, a sister of Mrs Riley, who had declared that Miss Lott had been to Miss Riley twice in an endeavor to have her continue her charges. "Then," said Miss Victory, with much feeling, "did I learn that Miss Lott had taken a false oath before me, and while pretending to be my friend had gone behind my back. She wanted me to go to Mrs. Riley, but I refused.

The Board had a meeting and when Mr. Bauer asked Mrs. Riley she said nothing. I saw Mr. Kuhn, who said Mr.

Djshler had investigated the case personally, but when 1 aaw Mr. Deshler he said it had not been a case for him to meddle in. Miss Lott asked me if I thought Mr. Bauer had made charges beoause I am a Catholic, hut then she said she did not think so as Mr. Bauer's foreparents had baen Catholics.
