Replies to Charges on Which HIS

The answer of Justice Herman A. Bolte OF the
lid District Court to the charges which his
removal asked fled with the Appellate
Division by his counsel Maurice B. Blumentnai
yesterday. In discussing the case Mr.. Blumentnal
yesterday brought out the interesting fact that
since the case was without precedent the proceed

between counsel and court. In his answer MI
Blumenthal reserves his right TO present on the
return Of the proceedings motion for the dis
missaI Of the
With reference to the Koch in which Jus
tice BoIteS administration severely attacked
in the charges his counsel raises the contention
that 1t had been thoroughly rehearsed and dis
posed of in the Surrogate's Court and that il
occurred before the justices term of office began
and cannot properly be brought up. the alleged
misconduct having occurred in 1S93. while Justice
Boe began his service in the I'D District Court in

who arrested in the Ariston Bath raid and had
been tried twice charge Of assault. the jury
each time disagreeng- After the last trial he was
committed 5000 bail. An examination of the
papers showed that Justice DugTo, in the Supreme
Court had reduced the bail from 2G5 to 800 This
bail was furnished The Recorder then said:
The District Attorney should call the attention Of
the Supreme Court justice VINO reduced the bail
to disappearance of this defendant. This is not
isolated case, however. It is one OF many where
the Supreme Court justices unwittIuSly aid and abet

II POLITICAL THREAT.
Er-Sherif TamSen Makes 1t At
LANGUAGE Hearing.

The committee on studies and text books of
the Board of Education gave a public hearing
yesterday the teaching of foreign languages
as an elective in the elementary schools at the
assembly room of the Board of Education.
Commissioner Greene chairman presided and
President Rogers of the board and several COM
missioners were present. Most of the others
there were Germans
George V. Won Skal, managing editor of the
"New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung." the first
speaker. He said in part:
We want nothing but that a foreign modern Ian
suage be taught the elementary schools. We
elementary Schools Should be be @ eope n To STUDY
German; we have always been and are now ready
10 concede that parents be given a choice between
several modern languages. as far ds that IS prac-
that the proposition to make German obligatory in
all the schools the only foreign language old

ridiculous, committed at recent meeting o: the
Is an attack upon and crime against the Amer
lean people and the American spirit which lives in
about this matter. and we expect that we will not
and solemn thought will be accorded to our wishes
and arguments.
Ex-Sheriff Tamsen. who said that he repre-
sented the German-American Reform Union
and the United Real Estate Owners Associa-
ton declared II was the prevailing opinion
among the German-Americans that stenog-
raphy was added to the optional studies in the
eighth grade for stealing march the
German.
IF this means anything but the abolition in
disguise let us know so but if it does, why not
openly say so? The people" he said, will not
refrain from giving you distinct answer Of
their sovereign will at the proper time
He declared that in the last Mayoralty cam
paign it had been said that the German Ian
glIage would he abolished and that the Germa n
American citizen made it campaign issue
President Arthur Won Briesen of the Legal
Aid Society. who was present at the special re-
quest of Superintendent Maxwell spoke. He
declared that the schools were suffering from a
lack of sufficient knowledge of foreign IAN
guages and that the control of at least two
modern Ianglla ges would enlarge the power of
the students Nearly one and half million OF
people of this city spoke some language in
their homes other than English. and as these
people were taxpayers they had a right to ask
that their children be taught as they wished.
Dr. H A c. Anderson intimated that If the
wishes of the Germans were disregarded there
might be political results. saying:
IF done in spirit of antagonism, and it
seems TO us almost the only solution OF the
problem I shall be exceedingly sorry, because L
had believed that the matter Of educating our
children was entirely out OF politics II 1t be
antagonism. then this move will sink 1t deeper
than ever in the political mre. and we. the

harmony for the welfare and prosperity or our
great and glorious country, are forced to help
