Alma Coddington-FcIlows Not Sus.
tained.

Yorkville Police Court, dismissed the
motion for a warrant for kidnapping
against Matilda e. Goodwin and her
son, Clifford Coddington Goodwin, made
by Mrs. Alma Louise Coddington-Fel-
lows, for depriving her of the possession
of her child.
Thu Judge said: THE evidence in
the case leads to only one conclusion.
viz. that Louisa Alma or Lulu Codding-
ton, the daughter of the complainant,
who is not quite fifteen years old and
who seems to be rather mature for her
years, took her sister Gladys Codding-
ton, a child of three and a half years,
out for a drive. intending to keep her
away from her. mother. the complainant,
for a few days.
1.-THE defendants. the Goodwins, cannot
be held, as their participate in the re-
moval OF the child consisted only In al
lowing the use to Lulu Coddington OF
their horses and carriage to convey her
self and her little sister to Mrs. Wes-
sons. 1t does not appear to me, on care
full examination of the testimony, hat
Il criminal case of kidnapping has been
committed"

In ten years. then. the Increase in the
appropriation for the maintenance OF the
Educational Department has increased a
fraction over 41-2 per cent. while the
political departments nav Increased
from 10 IA per cent. to l2b per cent. Yet
in those ten years the number Of schools
and the force Of teachers ave largely
increased. while more thar six hundred
thousand people have been aided to the
population.
Do these figures. plain facts from the
records. prove that II Is n libel" on the
educational system and on the city au-
thorities to charge that the public schools
have not been treated as literally as the
political departments OF the city govern
ment? Are they not. indeed. unanswer-
able proof that the Educational Depart
ment has been unjustiy refused appro-
priations absolutely needed to meet It's
increased xpense n to satisfy the
wants Of the growing population? DO
they not imply hat Tammany has more
use for the departments that supply con-
tracts for Tammany hackers and places
for Tammany heelers han for the De-
partment hat supplies education to the
children Of the poor and rescues them
from ignorance n its companion. Vice?

TAMMANY AND THE SCHOOLS.

Mayor Gilroy has repealed with some
Indignation the allegation that the Board
OF Estimate IND A"pportionment has not
dealt fairly with the public schools In
the annual appropriations granted TO
the Board Of Education. The Mayor de-
clares the statement n misrepresentation.
and announces that he will not permit
the city's educational system to be so
grossly libelled, nor the city's authori-
ties to be put in such a false position
Mr.. Gilroy quotes figures to support his
contention that the authorities control
ling the city's purse strings. give as
freely to the Board OF Education as to
other city departments. lie produces the
annual appropriations for the mainte-
! ance Of the school and the bonds issued
in each year, for school sites and build
ings for the last twelve years, and seeks
to show that the amounts were larger
under six years of his " ana Mayor
Grants Tammany administrations than
under six years of the more independent
administrations Of Mayors Edison, Grace
and Hewitt.
Mayors Gilroy's figures are misleading
and deceptive as he uses them. and in
stead of disproving the charge of dis
elimination against the schools they
fully and unqunlifedly establish Its
truth.
In the six years from 1883 TO 1888 inclu-
sive, the amount of bonds issued for new
school sites and buildings was only
81, 55s, Oo1. The amount from 1889 to 1894
inclusive, was $7,357,114. This Is an ex-
cess OF 49, 99. 1l3 In the last six years.
But these bonds are issued by order
or sanction of the Legislature. Thu
Board of Estimate and Appointment.
which controls the annual appropria-
tons, has nothing to do with them. Nor
have they any connection with the main
tenance of the schools. Thu city author
tiles have generally opposed the BON
issues. only this present year. when
81. 800. 900 was voted by the Legislature
for sites and buildings. the amount was
reduced from a much larger amount on
the persistent demand and through the
vigorous efforts OF Mayor Gilroy. who
would have defeated the appropriation
altogether II he could.
But how has It been with the annual
appropriations made for the yearly man
agement and maintenance OF the schools,
and actually representing the liberality
Of he city authorities In charge of the
purse strings towards the Educational
Department?
Let us compare some OF the a%pproprla-
lions for a few of the city departments
In 1884. under Mayor Edison. with those
In 1894 under Gilroy.
The departments of most value to the
politicians are Public Works, Fire,
Parks, Street Cleaning and Law. The
appropriations compare thus:
