Man Acquitted of AsSaultIng B.
T. WaShinuton Goes to Dix.

Henry A. Ulrich. the dog fancer. who
was charged with an assault on DIR. Booker
r. Washington. the negro educator, and
was subsequently acquitted in the Court OF
Special Sessions by a two to one decision,
is making a hard fight to prevent his ex-
tradition to New Jersey OH the indictment
found against him there on the charge that
he deserted his wife. James |. Moore,
counsel for Ulrich. has taken the case up
with Governor Dix, who has appointed to-
morrow afternoon as the time to hear ar.
sument. The attorney will present several
affidavits TO the Governor OF which the one
made by the indicted man himself is the
most important.
In this document Ulrich makes the allie
cation that the proceeding brought against
him by Mrs. Urich in East Orange, y. j..
her present home, was encouraged and fos-
tered by some one either representing DR..
Washington or working in his interest
while the assault case was still pending
against Ulrich in the court In this city. 1t
is further alleged that great pressure was
brought on the defendant I'm the assault
case to induce him to plead guilty to avoid
being taken TO New Jersey on the desertion
charge. Mr. Moore says he knows the man
who interested himself for Dr. Washington.
Wilford H. Smith, who was counsel for
DIR. Washington, said yesterday when told
about the statements by Ulrich: 1T IS
wholly and absolutely false. We kne"
nothing about the case against Ulrich III

there"

DISAGREE ON CHILD REPORT
Montclair Officials Dispute Fig
ures Disparaging Schools.

The report Of the Russell Sage Founda-
tion on an investigation which II has been
conducting during the past year into the
histories OF a quarter of a million school
children in thirty cities. made public for
tho first time yesterday morning al the con-
ference on the problem Of the exceptional
child, at the New York University Law
School, by DR.. Leonard p. Ayres. Of the
Foundations department Of child hygiene
showed up Montclair ~ j., children so
poorly that two Of Montclair's public Of
fcers who were present rose in indignant
denial Of the figures. They wanted 10 be
shown where they came from and what
they meant.
Dr. Ayres explained that they were the
offcial figures of the department Of schools
and that they meant that Montclair had
more over-ase pupils and pupils making
slow progress in her schools than twenty
six cut OF the thirty cities investigated
While not wishing to render an opinion OF
the reason in this particular case because
OF his ignorance Of Montclar's school sys
tenn. he stated that the usual reason fol
such state Of affairs was that the course
Of study was fitted 10 the needs Of the
bright children, rather than the average
child.
I'VE have found" said the doctor. that
less than half Of the children who enter
our public schools graduate even from the
elementary grades. In some places, as. fol
instance Racine, Wis. and Quincy. Mass.
the number graduating equals so per cent
of the total In others principally New
Orleans. La, and Passaic. n. j., the per-
centage is only about 30"
Speaking in the afternoon the Rev. Or
Charles \. Eaton, pastor Of the Madison
Avenue Baptist Church. asserted that the
problem was not with the child. but will

Briqht Future for Mr.. Moot.

i indulge the hope that in the future
when Mr.. Moot feels impelled TO engage
in literary work that he should not con-
fine his work TO the dry field of stats
tics. but that he should emerge as an
ayowed author of fiction. In that field
! am convinced bright future lies be-
fore him"
Justice Gof said such attacks on the
judiciary as these made by Mr.. Moot,
undermining confidence in the courts,
were mischievous TO society. because
they we're untrue.
Everett p. Wheeler arose at the end OF
the speeches and spoke a word in de-
fence Of Mr.. Moot. The latter was not
without supporters in the audience,
many applauding his reply.
Mr.. Adams in his opening remarks
said the Queens County judiciary scan
dal was an outrageous case and had
cast distrust on the whole judiciary and
weakened the respect for the law. Mr..
Moot said judges should be learned,
courageous and independent, so that they
could be depended upon TO uphold the
constitution and overthrow laws enacted
while the people were in an angry mood
or during political stress. The fact that
but five judges had been impeached in
this state in the last hundred years
proved, he said, that there was no need
OF the recall.
Justice Seabury in the beginning of
his speech referred TO the Willett case,
