Political situation in England
Mrs. Snowden said: THE power of

SEEMING We are constantly gaining
recruits from militant ranks
I'VE have tried to point to them
the error of their ways, but they are
bound TO go ahead in their smashing

control of her organization. She has
started something she can't stop"

The British government can't be
coerced by violence" said Mrs. Snow

more than trifling annoyance Moth

WANTS MORE LIGHT ON
DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER
Walsh BIanes Coroner in Hazel
Proctor Inquest.

Asserting that the coroner's inquest
regarding the death of his daughter,
Mary E. Walsh, was a farce, her
father, James Walsh, of 425 Seventh
avenue, this city, is planning to have
an investigation made .by District
Attorney Cropsey. of Kings. county.
The daughter, who was known on
the stage as Hazel Proctor. was
found unconscious in boarding
house conducted by Mrs. Margaret
Woods, in Lawrence street, Brooklyn,
on February 8. She died the follow
ing day The coroner decided she
died as a result of gas poisoning.
II had no chance to tell my story
before Coroner Rooney" declared Mr..
Walsh, Indignantly. Il had informa-
ton regarding the circumstances of
my daughters death which make me
believe she met with foul play. There
were bruises on her face and body
which should have been explained,
but were not"
With some heat the father related
the cordial manner in which the cor
oner greeted Mrs. Woods. the land
lady, and DIR. Nathan Slutzky, who
made an examination. These two
witnesses were allowed to tell their
story, indicating the girl met death
by gas, declared Mr. Walsh, but he
was not permitted to testify or take

URGES BANNING Of
USELESS STUDIES
Education Head Says EIimina-
ton of Fad Courses Would
Insure Economy.

Economy in the administration OF
the public school system was the
chief topic among the members of the
Board of Education, which met last
night and discussed the plan of work
for the year According TO Charles
P. Taylor president of the board,
there are number of courses now
being taught which are more eX-
pensive than valuable"
President Taylor told the members
of the need of economy IN both the
building and educational branches
The growth of the public school sys-
tenn and the corresponding Increase
in maintaining it were commented
upon. The president expressed the
hope that the board would be as care
ful about spending the publics money
as it had been in the past
I'VE have saved considerable money
in construction work, he said; but
this is not a lasting economy. If We
were to eliminate from the present
curriculum those courses of study
which we find to be more expensive
than valuable, then I think we will
have effected a lasting economy"
The committee on instruction and
educational supplies discussed the
annual report of Superintendent of
Schools Poland, dealing with the cost
per capita in the various schools.
The board will probably consider the
entire matter at its next meeting,
when efforts will be made to ascertain
the cost of various studies.

year We're announced, as follows

JAIL EXTENSION PLAN PUT
OFF UNTIL FUND GROWS
Freeholders Shelve Improve
ments Till Next May.

The county Jail extension and other
institutional improvements authorized
at the last meeting of the freehold
efs building committee have been
shelved until May. This course was
made necessary by the discovery that
the committee lacks sufficient funds
to even pay for the advertising.
Instead of the S1,700 balance abe
committee expected was to their
credit the members learned last night
that there were enough outstanding
unpaid bills to more than eat up
their balance.
The finance committee will be asked
to transfer $4,000 from other expenses
to cover the deficiency of the build
ing committee The improvements
which were contemplated will be
financed in May. it is expected, when
the annual appropriations are made.
