WHO LEFT THE SCHOOLS SHORT.
Tanniany. Says DIR. Maxwell. and It's Hard
TO Catch Up In Two Years.

DR.. w. Fl. Maxwell, city superintendent
OF schools, gave out statement yesterday
in reply to the charges made in the Tam
many campaign book against the admins
,ration Of the schools under fusion. Dr..
Maxwell says that Candidate McClellan's
assertion Of Wednesday night, that more
than eighty thousand children ARE denied
the privilege OF elementary education,
il a malicious representation Of the true
conditions
1T is true that more than eighty thousand
children are on part time" Dr. Maxwell
says, shut 70 228 of them can blame the
previous Tammany administration for it
because tie Van Wyck administration
failed TO begin the erection Of enough
schools As II takes from fourteen TO
eighteen months TO build school. fusion
can hardly be expected TO provide accom-
modatio for this enormous Tammany
leftover"
Supt Maxwell lays good deal of the
school trouble 10 the labor difficulties, which
have delayed school building Most of
the children would be- provided for now
in spite OF Tammany's incompetence. he
saws, if it hadn't been for strikes. The
school superintendent also adds that the
increase In part time pupils under fusion
has been much less than the increase in
school regist ration. while under Tam
many it was greater Anyway the part
time classes are now taught by fresh, un-
wearied teachers Under the previous

MOHAWK VALLEY WILL VOTE No.
The Flood Furnished Them nm Object Les
son Against the Barge Canal.

ST. TOWNSVILLE, N. v, Oct. l5.-What
advocates Of the barge canal there may
have been In the Mohawk Valley have
greatly lessened in number since the ire
mendous flood in the Mohawk River
few days ago. 1t is argued by those VINO
are opposed to the barge canal that II such
a canal had existed it would have certainly
overlooked it's hanks and some OF the VII
lagos would have been washed away Inc
flood has not been equalled in fifty years
the water in places being twenty-five feet
deep-and the damage has never been as
great. Most OF the villages in the valley
are situated on lowlands and when the
river overhows it is easy to understand
what damage will follow.
According to the present survey Tor the
proposed barge canal. the Mohawk River
which will he utilized for many miles. would
be more than double its present width. There
would he much difficulty in places to build
retaining walls strong enough to hold the
immense body Of water necessary for
barge canal. Many residents along the
river say that il barge canal is ever
built they will dispose Of their property
rather than run the risk Of having 1t de-
stroyed when the stream overfows. 1t is
safe to predict that there will be heavy
vote cast in the Mohawk Valley against
the barge canal amendment.

BROOKLYN REGISTRATION.
Why the Registrati on In That Borough
To-day should Foot Up 52,75l.

The total rsgist ration in Brooklyn for
the first two days was 700 less than the
figures furnished by the police. The
official figures compiled by .. W. Whitley,
the veteran statistician Ct the Brooklyn
Bureau Of Elections. from the reports sub
mitted by theelection officers, are as follows;
First day, eO,022; second day, 5,l65;
total for the two days, los, 49,. instead OF
los, ss7, the police total. The telegraph
operators at the Smith street Headquarters
were not responsible for the mistakes,
as the figures called CT to the reporters
were identical in every case with those
sent in from the various police stations.
The total registration to-day must foot
up 72,77l, il they are to bring the totals
for the three first DAYS this year up to the
III. sss registered in these days in the last
Mayoralty campaign. This will require
much hustling on the part OF the voters
themselves as well as the political managers.

The light registration last week caused
District Attorney Jerome to issue this
warning to voters last night:
In crisis like this no decent man has a
right to put it out of his power on election
day to help the cause that may then seem
to him right or to injure one which he think s
should be destroyed.
The registration OF last Friday and Satur-
day was very discouraging. The weather
was bad. but that does not account for the
enormous falling OF. 1t shows decided

that it is due to feeling OF disgust OH part

BUCKLING on THEIR ARMOR.
Forces OF McCarren and Of Mclaughlin
Preparing for Mondays Fight.

Unless one side capitulates soon. the
opposing forces Of Hugh Mclaughlin and
Senator McCarren will have a finish fght
in the Thomas Jefferson Hall In Brooklyn
on Monday night when the special meeting
Of the Democratic County Committee de-
handed by McCarren will be held While
the direct question involved Is the indorse-
,rnt or non-ind orsement Of Circuit and
Forbes. the vital issue, AZ is we'll understood,
is whether the control Of the Kings county
organization is to remain in the hands Of
the veteran leader or be transferred to those
OF the Eastern Dist riot Senator, who has
been one Of his most trusted lieutenants for
twenty Ave years.
All talk OF patching up the difference
between Murphy and Mclaughlin and thus
verting the factional clash in the commit ee
subsidized yesterday, and all hands went 10
work to prepare for what Ia expected to be
the most exciting political faml scrimmage
in Brooklyn since Timothy l.. Woodruff
dethroned Jacob Worth from his appar-
emily secure position as head Of the Repub-
lican organization about eight years ago.
Woodruff won by the narrow margin OF
less than dozen votes in the county COM
mittee, and some shrewd observers Of the
present Democratic row think that he victor
in Monday nights event may not have
bigger ajority to his credit
The emphatic refusal of George b. Nc
Clelan to speak at the opening Democratic
ratification meeting at the Academy Of
Music, on Tuesday night, unless invitations
were also extended TO his two associates
on the city ticket, brought Mclaughlin face
to face with perhaps the most ticklish
k~,l- al. al
izing that to abandon his position would
mean surrender to his political pupil, the old
chieftain not only declined to accede to the
wishes OF the candidate for Mayor, but had
the Academy meeting booked for Tuesday
night, at which Mcclellan had been invited
to speak. indefinitely postponed.
Neither Mclaughlin nor any Of his three
chief )ieutenants, Shevlin, Shea and York,
comedies that McCarren is going to win
in the county committee. After a careful
analysis Of the delegates yesterday they
believed that the Endorsement OF Grout and
Fornes would be voted down, and that the
plurality in support OF McIaughlin's policy
would be very close to fifty Martin W.
I.ittleton, who had threatened to resign as
announced esterday that he would st lex,
in view Of Mr. McIIaughin's uncomprpmis-
ing attitude,
At several Democratic meetings held last
night the whole city ticket was indorsed
and McCarren's course commended. The
Senator attended a rally OF the Bay
Ridge Democratic Club in Third avenue and
Fifty-first street and received a great
ovation. He made substantially the same
plea in support Of the regularly nominated
candidates OF the party as he did at the
Seymour Club few nights ago and con-
tended that the course Mclaughlin and
his advisers were pursuing was sub
versive OF all party regularity.
