MAYOR PLEDGES
new SCHOOL MEN
Twelve Appointees for
Gary Plan, Military Train
ing, Small Board

The extension OF the Gary plan IN
the public schools, the introduction oil
military training and the realization
OF a small Board Of Education were
the three fundamental policies which
should be approved and carried out by
the Board Of Education, Mayor Mitchell
declared yesterday in swearing in the
twelve members he appointed Monday.
The Mayor said that he had asked
each appointee his views on these sub
icc.s and found that all were in accord
with him. He declared he had exacted
promises to work for these policies
before he made the appointments.
81 conceive that it is the duty Of the
Mayor" he said, "since this function
Of appointment is committed to him by
law. to acquaint himself with the views
of the respective appointees. in order
that he may be assured that the gen
eral policies in which ae believes shall
be carried out at the hands of the new
appointees.
For that reason ! asked you what
your views were in the matter of the
extension of the duplicate school plan,
which is called the Gary plan in New
York. Il is not accurate to call it the
Gary plan. because the plan which will
ultimately be adopted here viii not be
the Gary plan in its entirety, but viii
be an adaptation. saving from the plan
the very best. hope. Of its features
and adjusting them TO the peculiar
needs and circumstances Of New York.
But / wanted TO be assured that you
approach that problem IN a sympathetic
frame of mind. The duplicate school
plan alone, in my judgment and in the
Judgment Of my principal associates,
will solve the problem Of providing a
seat for every child in the City Of
New York"
The Mayor stated that the second
question on which he particularly asked
their views was the matter of small
Board of Education. which he regarded
as essential TO the most efficient man
agement Of educational affairs in the
city. In regard to the introduction of
military training in the schools the
Mayor said:
"This last question ] personally re-
gard as quite as important as the
other two, important not only to New
York City in the administration Of
its educational affairs, but TO the ma
ton as well ! know now that you be-

sold"
The striking difference between the
ideas Of Lawson and Bsruch lay in
their explanations of the sensational
movements Of the market IN the period
between December 10 and %. Lawson
attributed this again to-day TO the
short selling Of persons having ad-
vance information as TO the Presidents
intention 10 send q peace note.
Baruch traced the selling 20 the
speech Of Bethmann- Hollweg proposing
peace. then 20 the German note. and
finally TO the speech Of Lloyd George
"Onc was the cry of Germany for
peace said Baruch, "aud the other a
statement by the Allies that the door

but clinched that"

Of the resolution on which tho COM
mittee is working, the lie on his refer
cuce to them. Both declared they never

Mr. Sabin blandly told the committee
that he had no thought Of any effect on
the market of his statement that the
German government. was planning a
peace move. given out by him TO the
press in New York ABOUT October g.
he denied that he had any advance in
formation on the Presidents note.
As TO the Source Of his information,
which was TO the effect that Ambas-
sador Gerard was bearing a peace COM
munication, he declined to comment,
saying il was confidential. He was not

John Boyle and Henry +. Elsnd, rep
resentatiyes OF THE Wall Street jour

Of the day.
Mr. Eland said that he learned from

and that it was not "a peace proposal

two and a nalf hours later, perhaps
when he was advised by other news
papermen that the Dow, Jones & Co.
ticker was carrying the statement thar
the President would issue a peace note
Mr.. Boyle testified that he sent the
information given to him by Eland to
"The Journal" in a confidential tele-
gram shortly before noon. At 1924
p. m, he said he received a message
from Dow, Jones G. Co. saying it was
reported that the President would issue
a peace note about the end Of the week.

Deride Idea Of Newspaper Lcak
Both Lawson and Baruch in their
testimony bclittled the idea OF news,
paper leak" supposed to have resulted
from Secretary Lansing's announce
ment carly on Wednesday the day PC
fore the note was published IN TINS
country that there would be an impor-
tant statement later IN the day.
Mr.. Lawson commented brusquely
that the selling had been going on Tor
days at least seven days.
Il don't think the leak came from
any written or printed draft or IRON
newspaper men, said Lawson. Ger
tain people had advance information
and began to lay their pipes and make
plans TO take advantage of it
Again to-day Lawson laid stress on
his refusal to divulge names on the
seriousness Of the consequences.
81 could give you the names he said,
"but the damages which might result
to the nation or the Administration
might be 80 much greater than any
consequences TO me of refusing to tell
of my going to jail, even"
He made a cryptic reference 10 an
other high official in to-day's testimony.

Henry +. Eland and John Boyle, rep
