A NEW BOARD PROPOSED.
Bill Which May Abolish Department of
Public instruction.

Albany. Feb. IA bill 10 organize within the
Board Of Regents of the University of the State
of New-Tork a State board of education to
education. was introduced to-day by Senator
+. r. Brown. 1t does not affect the higher juris-
diction Of the present Board of Regents
This measure provides that in 1905 the legis-
lature shall elect nine Regents of the Uni
versity who shall have the power, of State
board Of education. They may he elected from
the existing Regents. in addition thereto,
provided that at least must come from each
judicial district. The term Of office is to be
nine years. They shall have all the powers
of regular Regents. When a vacancy occurs in
the Board of Regents. unless it creates one in
the board OF education, it is not to be filled
until the number of Regents is reduced below
nine, the number now provided by law.
The Board of Education is TO appoint and
have control over the State Superintendent of
Public instruction, who shall control public ele-
mentary and secondary education. and other
wise possess such powers and perform such
duties in respect to the common school as are
now conferred upon the Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction and the Regents of the Uni
versity.
Referring a report that this bill was an at
tack Upon the Board of Regents. Senator Brown
to-day expressly denied any such intent 1t
affects the jurisdiction OF the Regents only IN
the domain of secondary education said he.
The bill appears to indicate that within nine
years the Board of Regents and the State Board
af Education would become identical with juris-
diction over the State Superintendent, and
through him over all the common schools.

OFFICIALS SUSPICIOUS OF BILL.

Police officials III this city regard with suspicion
the bill of Assemblyman Metcalfe 10 amend the
city charter so as TO take from the police the duty
Of inspecting suspected gambling houses policy
shops and dens of vice. They inclined to be-
lieve that the object of the bill is to prevent the
police from entering any such place in pursuit Of
evidence. without warrants. District Attorney
jerome said he could not criticise the bill before
having read it in full. but ne thought the charter
provisions, which were TO be amended, were of
little consequence because they were covered fully
by the police laws of the State, He added:
The police laws are adequate without this charter
provision to Permit the inspection OF gambling
houses policy shops and houses of IL fame, The
charter provision compelling this inspection was
superfuous and for that reason never invoked
in justiheat ton of such inspections. The visits |
made were On search warrants and not on the
strength of this charter provision.
