Assembly Gets DR.. Fin
ley's Home Rule Meas
ure for Schools.
ONLY 81 MEMBERS
FOR NEW YORK CITY
To Be Appointed by Mayor and
Powers Enlarged-Would
Gust Present Board.

iFfom a s.ar Correspondent y Tie Tribunel
Albany, March s.-The Board Of Edu-
cation OF New York City would be re-
duced from 40 70 p members under a
bill prepared by the State Education
Department and introduced to-day By
Assemblyman Kincaid In the other
cities. of the state the boards would
consist Of not less than three or more
than nine members, and there would
be no change in the method Of select
ing them.
The measure is known as the Home
Rule bill for the school systems Of the
cities Of the state. According 10 John
II. Finley State Commissioner of Edu-
cation, 1t would simplify the present
school laws and greatly add TO the
powers of the local school boards.
The Board of Education IN New
York, the new bill provides. Is 10 be
made up of five members from Man
haitian, five from Kings, three from
The Bronx, TWO from Queens and ONE
from Richmond. The remaining five
are 20 be chosen from the city az large,
but all may not be taken from any one
borough. The members Of the new
board are 20 be appointed by the Mayor
so that the terms OF office of one-hfth
of them will expire each year, and
thereafter as vacancies occur they VIII
be filed for a term of five years.
"The Board of Education OF New
York City" said DR.. Finley. will have
the authority 10 create such machinery
for the proper administration Of q
great school system such as exists IN
that city without constantly coming TO
the LEGISLATURE 10 obtain permission 90
meet new conditions. The provisions
of the proposed measure are so flexible
as 70 enable any city in the state 10
adjust its organization from year 20
year to meet changing conditions which
the advancement and progress OF the
country demand in a modern system
The bill, it is stated, will continue
the present plan of financing school
systems In all the cities except ~ New
York Under the present charter o.
New York there is q mandatory Prov
sion requiring the Board Of Estimate
to include IN the school budget an
amount equal 20 tax of three mills
upon the real and personal property
Of the city. The Board of Estimate
may increase this amount, but the local
authorities now have no discretion 50
far as the three mills is concerned
The proposed law eliminates the
mandatory provision and requires the
Board of Education 10 make up It's own
budget and submit 1t 10 the Board Of
Estimate. The amount requested by
the board cannot exceed tax Of five
mills on real and personal property.

Accuses Some Navy Man"

These statements are amusing.
wonder who the naval officials are who
are so surprised at the publication If

pany's product, with which practically
all technical men have been familiar
for years. There evidently is some one
who has had so little honor as 70 take
and have published matter contained in
catalogue which was sent to the Off
GERS of the United States Navy.
Several years ago sold my patents
on the battery to a German concern.
They sent their experts TO my factory
and chemical works and remained there
two months. On their return to Ger
many they started large works, but
never were able 20 make the chemicals
20 obtain proper results, and, before
the war, ] was compelled to furnish the
chemicals myself. Three other Euro
pean manufacturers attempted to evade
the patents, but all failed to obtain the
proper chemicals.
"The chemical part Of the battery is
one Of extreme complexity. Because
Of manufacturing secrets and special
chemical processes used TO obtain the
elements contained in the battery, It
is impossible to initiate, let alone du-
plicate it. So there need be no fear
that will be as unsecretive as others
and divulge tnis all important matter

This latter plan WAS formulated before

that parts of the Gary plan could be

expense.
Ii was announced that the evening
trade schools have increased this year
10 per cent IN average registration and
20 per cent IN attendance, while last
year there was a slight falling of in

increase shows that two nights week

FEDERAL AMENDMENT
LINES UP MIDDLE WEST
Women Hold Series of Confer
ences This Month and Next.

Sufragists Of the Middle and West
eI states will organize for the Fed
ersl amendment at q series Of Congress
sional conferences in this month and
next.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
Of the National Suffrage Association,
who returned yesterday from similar
series Of conferences in New England,
announced tnaj the interest among SUI
fragists for the Federal amendment by
nOu-mi liant methods was growing a. q
rate which was q revelation even 10 her
optimistic soul. These conferences are
for the purpose of counteracting the
effect of the work Of the Congressional
Union. whose members believe in the
so-called militant methods and the
anti-Democratic party campaign.
Conferences viii be held in Column
bus, Ohio. on March 20 and 81; at De-
troit, on March 22 and %, and Milwau-
kee, on March - and 25. Colorado. Ne
braska, South Dakota and other West
ern States will stage their conferences
In April.
Mrs. Gait reported that New England
women's interest in the Fderal amend
ment was particularly keen because Of
the rock-ribbed constitutions Of those
states, which make the task OF obtain
ing suffrage through the individual
states very difficult.
IN Maine, Vermont and Connecticut"
said Mrs. Gait, amendment Of the
state constitutions is so difficult as 20
be we'll nigh impossible. In Maine for
instance, an amendment has TO receive
two-thirds concurrent vote IN both
houses before 1t can 60 20 referen-
DUN. Conditions are even worse In Yer
mont, for although an amendment re-
quires only a majority vote IN the
House and a two-thirds vote in the SEN
ate the first time il comes before the
Legislature. il may not reach the people
for ten years. This is due 10 the fact
that the constitution can be amended
only once In ten years"

II anybody has been guilty Of d

made this fact plain yesterday in a

OF almost equal importance was the
inventors announcement that Ger
many, looked upon as possessing the
most expert chemists in the world, had
been unable TO make use of the secret
Of his battery after it had purchased
the patent rights from the Edison
company before the war. For that rea-
