This would be in violation of the CON

mitchell SEES COLONEL:
WANTS HIS ENDORSEMENT
Still Has Hopes of Being Picked
as Fusion Nominee
for Mayor.

I'm line with an attempt being made by
friends Of President Mitchell of the Board
of Aldermen TO obtain his selection as the
fusion candidate for Mayor this fall. Mr..

canoe.
Friends OF Mr. Mitchell who would Ike
10 see'him AZ the head OF the anu-lam-
many ticket this fall include some Pro-
eressives and william Randolph Hearst
and some of his leaders They have been
circulating the rumor for some time that
Colonel Roosevelt had expressed 'ne
oninion that the candidate for Mayor this
fall should be a Catholic and also an IN
dependent Democrat They gave the IN
ference that the colonel believed Mr..
Mitchell filed the bill exactly
There IL no authoritative version OF the
talk between the colonel and Mr.. Mitch
el II is reported. however. that tho
colonel frankly stated ne believed Con
troller Prendergast should be renominat-
ed. and that he did not see how Mitcnel
ana Prendergast could well run on the
same ticket He knew Mr.. Hearst would
not indorse the Controller on account of
his attitude on the subway question.
Another thing against Mitchell 50 far
AS tho Progressives are concerned. is that
the leaders I'm Kings County are OF opin-
ion that District Attorney whitman is
the man 10 have al the head 81 the anti
Tammany ticket. In New York county
however some Of the PrOgressives are
talking against Whitman.

Assembly Passes Two Mckee
Education Bills.
SENATE DELAYS ACTION
Board of superintendent Would
Have Right to Pass on
Modified Courses.
lRy Telegranh 10 The rrihnne

Albany. April l1.-Without debate the
Assembly to-day passed two Of the Nc
kee bills transferring many OF the pow
ers OF the New York City Superintendent
Of Schools TO the Board of Education.
one OF them was the curriculum bill,
which has been amended within the last
two weeks 10 meet some Of the objections
Of its opponents. As originally drawn ii
gave 10 the Board Of Education full power
To change grades and modify courses OF
study The board can now do that only
on recommendations of the Board OF
superintendent. The amendments pro-
vide that suggested changes must first
be submitted to the Board of Superin-
tendents and that if an adverse report is
made the Board of Education cannot
adopt these changes unless ii gets two
thirds vote Of all the members OF the
board
Assemblyman Mckee said that these
amendments were agreed on at con
ference two weeks ago Of representatives
of the City Club. the Public Education
Association OF which superintendent
Maxwell is a member. and the Board OF
Education Afterward. he said. the rep
resentatives of the Public Education AS
ISOLATION refused TO stand by them and
so he introduced the amendments without
their support
The second bill passed provides two ad-
dtional members i'm the board Of eX-
aminers and stpulates that they shall
be appointed by the Board Of Educa-
tion. At present candidates for examiners
must be nominated by the Superinten-
dent Of Schools Both Of these measures
will meet strong opposition in the Senate.
The upper house to-day put over until
Monday night three Of the Mckee bills
TWO OF which will also meet opposition.
one of them gives the Board OF Educa-
ton full power 10 appoint district super
intendents They now have TO be nomi-
mated By the association superintendent.
The other permits the President Of the
Board OF Education to designate any
member OF the supervising or teaching
staff 20 make investigations and report.
Objection has been made 10 this bill on
the ground that under 1t teacher could
be DESIGNATED TO Investigate the superin-
tendents.
The third bill. against which there IS no
opposition. amends the law providing for
the promotion Of teachers who sho" SUI
perior ability The bill makes more
specific the examination teacher must
