At BOARD MEETING
MORE THAN TWELVE HUNDRED
PUPILS ARE ENROLLED IN
THE CITY.

Suggestion That one OF the buildings
Be Sold anc More Roomy Qua, ters
Arranged for the Lower Grades,
But No Action Taken.

The meeting Of the board of edu-
cation Tuesday night proved a sur
prise in that it brought out some I'M
expected features, some discussions
that were exceedingly wholesome for
the school interests of the city. It
MS shown that it was costing the
city and county for the public and
nigh school pupils s13.4O per term
per pupil, which with the increased
educational advantages in superior
teachers and department work, is
less than the usual cost. It brought
out that there are In the public
schools of the city and the city and
county high schools 1928 pupils, and
that every demand on the require
nents of the situation is being met
PROMPTLY with the possible exception
Of demand for more room. The
visiting committee made a report to
this effect, stating that it would only
re a short time until something
would have to be done to relieve the
congested condition in some of the
lower grades. AS possible means
FOR this relief the committee suggest
ed the sale of either the Andrews
property or the Athenaeum building,
but no actor, further than the dis
cuss,on was taken.
In the consideration of the propos-
ed cutting down of the budget for the
lext year, it was viewed rather seri-
ously by the board, there being no dis
position to take any backward steps
il any way A committee composed
of Messrs. Cameron, Greenlaw. Hut
TON and Salmon was appointed to
meet with the municipal authorities
for the purpose of formulating some
plan to avoid decrease in the pro-
posed school expenditures for the
wears of 1928. Mayor Dedman was
present and said to the board that he
and his cabinet would be glad to
meet with the committee, and that an
would be made for an
informal meeting some time during
the coming week. In the discussion
prior to the appointment of the COM
.nittee and the suggestion Of the
there was manifestation of
a fine school spirit on the part OF a
large majority Of the board, and it is
SAFE to say that If there is any way
to provide the estimated expendi-
tIres it will be found by the men who
have the matter in hand Mr.. Ded-
man stated tc the board that it was
no disposition on the part Of the mu-
to do the schools an injury,
out apparently necessary economy,
that suggested the action taken, and
that he would heartily cooperate in
any way TO advance or would oppose
anything that would injure the
schools.
In the reorganization the old Of
ficers were elected, w. C. Salmon,
as president; w. B. Greenlaw, as vice
president, and E. Yoest, as secretary.

crossed the ice to the Conover cabin.
where they found Conover and his fam

openings in the cabin the cold ''ind nulli-
fled the heat from the stove. Moreover
their provisions were almost exhausted
The rescuers improvised a sled from
boards Of the cabin, anC on this they
dragged Conover and his family across
the ice TO the spot where they had LEFT

tered. and several times the little craft

When J. Pierpont Morgan returns from

II was learned yesterday that the Rev
DR.. Hugh Birckhead. the young rector
who succeeded the Rev. DR. William s

his resignation. At his office at the

Yesterdays announcement of DR..
Birckhead's probable resignation Gre
ated much comment in church circles.
The personality of the rector and
his rapid rise TO power have made him a
figure in the Episcopal Church, and his
progress has been followed with great
interest by churchmen throughout the
country. He was educated at Columbia
University. while his brother, also

Mirabeau L. Towns Also Moves

Foulke E. Brandt, the former valet Of
Mortimer l.. Schiff, will walk out Of
Clinton prison to-day on a writ Of habeas
corpus issued yesterday by Justice
Gerard, Of the Supreme Court. on the ap-
plication of Mirabeau l.. Towns, counsel
for Martin F. Huberth, a real estate op-
orator, OF No 147 Fourth avenue, 'peti-

Brandt pleaded guilty to burglary in
the first degree, and was sentenced 10
prison in April 1907 by Judge Rosalsky
for thirty years. He petitioned Governor
Dix last month for a pardon, on the
ground that he was sentenced to a long
term for breaking and entering Mr..
Schiff's home in the night crime 70
which he says he was induced TO plead
guilty. though he did not commit it
Governor Dix denied the petition and de-
clined to reopen the case during his term
OF office.
District Attorney Whitman. who had
urged the parole of Brandt, continued TO
investigate the case, with the intention
of bringing the facts before the grand
jury. The publicity which this occa-
stoned brought Clarence J. Shearn, Mira
beau L. Towns and James w. Osborne,
former Assistant District Attorney, into
the case to test the legality of Brandts
sentence and to inquire into its severity.
They said they believed that the sus-
picion that Brandt did not realize the
nature Of the crime TO which he pleaded
guilty and that Judge Rosalsky was mis-
led in the matter was abundanty jus
