SCHOOLS ARTICLE
DEFENDED BY ROOT
New Constitution Reinforces
State Control, He Writes
to DR.. Finley.

Albany. Oct. Is To Offset the argu-
mcnt that school teachers ought 20
work agains. the proposed constitution
because the home rule article puts
them under control OF the local gov
eminent. the committee for the adop-
tion Of the constitution has made pub
lic corrcspondence between Commits
sioner Finley and Elihu Root.
Dr. Finley wrote to Mr.. Root. saying
that he interpreted the article 10 mean
that the schools would still be under
state control and asking Mr. Root for
mis- view. To this Mr. Root replied:
81 entirely agree with your under
standing that the provisions of that
instrument make no change in the con-
troll of the schools. There is no doubt
or room for question that education is
a matter Of state concern. This pro-
vision is not only continued in the re-
vised constitution. but il is reinforced
by the provision Of the new article
which makes the Department OF Edu-
cation one of the civil departments OF
the state government.
IF any authority were needed FOR so
plain a proposition il would be found
in the decisions OF our courts, when
have always and repeatedly held edu-
cation 10 be a matter Of state and not
municipal concern.
"The home rule article OF the new
revision expressly excludes matters of
state concern Including education
from the transfer OF power to local
authorities.
The government Of the state will
therefore continue. as it has hereto
fore. 10 regulate the affairs Of educa
ton. including the schools and their
teachers. by general laws and by such
local and special laws as II finds neces-
sary and by such delegation OF agency

ROBERT B. WARD
DIES SUDDENLY
Was Head of Baking Com
pany and Leader in
Federal Baseball.
DEATH WAS CAUSED
By HEART DISEASE
Founded Great Bread Industry.
with Plants i'm Seven
Large Cities.

Robert Boyd Ward, president Of the
Ward Baking Company. and one o. the
most powerful men in the Federal
Baseball League. died last night at his
country home, Homewood, on Quaker
Ridge Road. New Rochelle. Death was
caused by heart disease. which fol-
lowed an attack Of neuritis and rheum-
ism few days ago. He was IN his
sixty-fourth year
Mr.. Ward was born in Broome Street
New York City, November II, lsol, two
years after his father, Hugh, an irish
master baker, had come 70 this coun-
try. He was identified with the bread
industry from The time he was eight
wears old. I'm 1850 the Civil War draft
I'd heavily upon labor in this city. ana
young Ward helped his father by car
rying bread through the streets. O.,
Nr. Wards father moved TO AlIe-
ghcnv. Penn. and then 10 Pittsburgh
where the son attended the puDhc
schools and a business college. When
he was lust over twenty-one, ne and
his brother. George s., opened bakery
in Pittsburgh. This plant soon eX-
banded into branches which few years
ago reached New York. There are now
four bakeries at Chicago, and others IN
Boston, Providence, Baltimore, Cleve-
land and Newark, y. j.
Revived Federal League.
Robert b. Ward was the man who put
the Federal League on It's feet wneh II
was about TO expire because OF lack
Of funds.
James A. Gilmore, president Of the
Feds. interested Mr.. Ward and ms
brother. J. c. Ward, in the Federal
League cause in February, 1914. Mr..
Ward. always baseball fan, went into
the work enthusiastically, carrying
nearly 81 100000 with him, and but for
his wealth and his fighting spirit the
independent league would have per-
ished.
Mr.. Ward owned stock in clubs other
than Brooklyn. He is said 70 have
backed the Buffalo Feds and to nave
been interested in the Pittsburgh team.
His character gave the Independents a
great deal of prestige Baseball had
no more honorable magnate. lie al
ways insisted that the business OF ms
team be conducted with absolute far
ness.
He signed Rube Marquard, Of the
Giants. last winter, after Marquard had
made an affidavit that he had no bind
ing contract with the New York club
As soon as Mr.. Ward learned that Mar
guard had misstated conditions, the
pitcher was turned back to organized
baseball.
The Brooklyn Federals were not al
lowed to play on Sunday, a rule that
cost the Tip Tops many thousands OF
dollars during the season. In the West
where the Sunday games are the ones
that draw the big crowds. the Brook
lyns were idle on baseballs most prof
liable day.
Because Of mis- ideas regarding an
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-10-19

AlNse gregory, Connecticut girls who
have been suffrage campaigning in New
Jersey, would come TO New York 20
tour the Hudson and Mohawk valleys
IN their motor cars trying 10 pledge
more votes for women.
SuTragists Little Nervous.
Another well known leader who dis
cussed the situation was Mrs Carrie
Chapman Gait. chairman of the Empire
state Campaign Committee.
The New Jersey leaders are very
confident, and feel the state has Dccn
converted TO suffrage" she said. "They
are very anxious, though, about the
vote. New Jersey has not a very sa-
worry reputation politically. and the suf-
fragists are a little nervous. You
know, the men and women who favored
suffrage in Michigan and Nebraska are
certain they were counted out.
I'D like 20 say, though. here in New
York ! think the political parties will
treat us as fairly as they say they will.
There's not As much political corrup-
ton here as there used to be, and not
a. much as in New Jersey. have
seen no evidences that we will get dis
honorable treatment. Every rumor OF
this kind that has been traced has
beer found TO have absolutely 10 foun-
dation."
Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont. head Of the
Political Equality Association, said she
had not been 20 New Jersey.
I'm not conversant with the situa-
ton" she said. eve can only hope, as
Of course we do. We have been 50 busy
in New York irving to convince the
men that suffrage would be the right
thing that we left the task Of convert
ing the New Jersey men to the women
O. that state
Ants Think Suffrage Will Lose.
Ant-suffrsgists think their oppo-
nents will lose. One of those who said
this was Miss Alice Hill Chittenden.
president Of the New York State Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage
I'm not altogether IN close touch
with New Jersey" she said. but | hope
we VIII win. | suppose you want me 20
say We will win. Well. | do think we
will No, | don't think by any over
whelming vote But | think suffrage
will be defeated in all Of the four
states in this eastern campaign Many
live in New Jersey and
they have been holding meetings and
doing their work right along, and so
we are as interested as are those on
the other side
The two chief things worrying the
suffragists in New Jersey, said New
York authority, are the fact that the
ballots are not numbered and that
registration is set for the same day as
the vote
"The Secretary Of State would not
have the ballots numbered" said this
person "He said the Legislature had
not authorized him to do so, and il
would cost several thousand dollars
He takes the position he has no right
10 spend the taxpayers money without
authorization. / may add he's an anti
sufragst. The fact that the ballots
are not numbered makes it quite easy
10 stuff the box
"Now. as TO tomorrow being regis
tration day, the voter goes and gives
his name and address. and then votes.
There is no chance whatever 20 eI-
anime his statements as 10 whether he
is qualified voter or not This las
made the women lose some sleep. How
ever. they have plenty Of watchers in
Essex and Hudson counties, where
watching is necessary"

APPEALS NEEDED
To SETTLE NEW ACT
Public Service Appeals Want an
Official Determination on
Some Questions

AS a result of the postponement of
argument by the Dauphin County
Court yesterday in the Hatboro Busi-
ness Mems appeal from the decision
OF the Public Service Commission in
the Reading Railway train service case
1t is expected that immediate steps will
be taken to determine whether the
newly approved act granting the right
of appeal from Public Service decisions
direct to the Superior Court affects
pending appeals. There are ten ap-
peals in the Dauphin County Court,
involving cases from all over the state.
Another case has been appealed to
the Supreme Court from the Dauphin
County Court decision.
Judge Kunkel yesterday announced
that he did not feel like going on with
the cases until he knew the status and
attorneys for appellants will probably
have conference with the commits
sioners and determine upon a line of
action. 1t is likely that one of the
cases appealed will be taken before
the commission with a request for re-
opening. The commission is now in
session at Scranton and will meet next
week in Erie.
