COURT DID NOT ORDER
POOR CHILDREN CLOTHED
Only Told Education Board to Make
Report to Relief Agency.

Judge German stated late this afternoon
that he had not ordered the Board of
Education to provide warm apparel for
the children of school age who could not
attend their classes because of lack
of clothing. He said he had ordered the
board to report the case to any suitable
relief agency i'm the district in which
the children attend school.
The children are Raymond. George, Bes-
sic and Helen Milliken, 261i Webster
street. Charles Mlliken, father of the
Children> has been out OF work for some
time and so has the older boy, Joseph.
Raymond was arrested for picking coal
along the tracks of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks and the sad plight
of the four youngsters then was brought
to light. This was taken up by Assistant
District Attorney Fox, whose recon-
mendation to the court was misunder-
stood
1t was thought by those in the court
room that the Judge had ordered the
Board of Education to properly clothe
the children. He ordered, however, that
The Compulsory Agents Bureau of the
Board Of Education hereby is directed
promptly to report the matter to any
suitable relief agent" operating in the
school district in which the children live.

NOT THINKING OF RESIGNING,
SAYS ALEXANDER M. WILSON
Assistant Director of Health and
Charities Answers Rumor.

Organization forces hoping for the
resignation OF Alexander NJ Wilson as
Assistant Director of Health and Chari-
ties, which pays $1,000 year, had a new
rumor in circulation today to the effect
that Mr.. Wilson would resign at the end
of the year.
A supplement to the rumor was that
Director HarteJ would appoint john
Molitor, former chief of the Division Of
Housing and Sanitation, to succeed Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. Wilson incurred the enmity
OF every Organization adherent by his
loyalty to Mayor Blankenburg and his
policies, during Director Neffs illness
when Wilson was acting Director of the
Health Department.
Mr.. Wilson's comment on the rumor
was: "I have not resigned and am not
thinking of resigning,"
Director Harte said that Assistant Di-
rector Wilson had not resigned that
could be noticed" II admitted that last
June the name of Mr.. Molltor had been
suggested as a possibility for appoint
msnt as Assistant Director when a change
in that position was discussed.
II have man in view for the position
IL vacancy occurs, and. IL he decides
to accept, IT will be a surprise to every
body" said the Director.
