Action Is Deferred
On Teachers Salaries
Education Board Expected to
Consider Wartime Bonuses
Next Week

Consideration of the adjustment of
teachers salaries was deferred by the
Board of Education meeting as a com
mittee of the whole yesterday after
noon. President Arthur S. Somers said
the distribution of the available funds
at the boards disposal probably would
be acted upon formally next week. The
committee, which has had the matter
under consideration, has practically
agreed to the establishment of war
time bonuses of $50 and 500 until
the entire salary schedules can be
thoroughly revised.
All teachers who have enlisted or
been drafted for war service, or who
are on leaves of absence for war SER
vice or war relief, will be credited
with teaching experience from the
time of their absence,sas recommended
by the Board Of Superintendents. The
proposal from the same body that the
division of reference and research, of
which Albert Shiels was director until
he assumed the superirEendency of
the Los Angeles schools, be consol-
idated with the division Of statistics.
was referred to committee for con-
sideration.
The board will meet again at $3.50
Wednesday afternoon for the trial of
Lillian Veiht, q teacher in Public
School SO. Manhattan, who is charged
with neglect of duty.

Former Senator Retained
by Taxpayers to Investi-
gate Food Purchases
Law Violated, He Says
He Charges Commissioner Of
Markets Expended Money Be-
fore 1t Was Appropriated

Former Senator William M. Bennett
obtained from Justice Francis K PEN
dleton. of the Supreme Court, yester-
day an order for the examination Of
the Rev. Jonathan C. Day, Commits
sioner Of Markets, regarding Mr.. Days
transactions in butter, eggs, fish and
other merchandise in the name of the
city. The examination is set for
June %.
II have been retained by the West
Side Tax Payers Association to inquire
into the activities of DR.. Day." said
Mr. Bennett last night. "The real es-
tate interests of the city are not opposed
to the object of the law under which
Commissioner Day is acting. What
the taxpayers are interested in is the
manner In which he is conducting his
business.
Says No Accounting Has Been Made
"I am informed that no accounting
has been made by DR.. Day to the Con-
troller of many of his business trans
actions. The charter provides that no
officer Of the city shall incur any ex-
pense in the name of the city prior to
his receiving an appropriation.
DR.. Day received no appropriation
for the purchase of food until April 26.
Yet, according to his own statements,
he had purchased, on behalf Of the city,
more than 100000 worth of foodstuffs
prior to that date. l am informed that
DR.. Day admits that he has not pur-
sued the legal requirements in pay
ment of bills, at least for many Of his
purchases prior to April 26 am in
formed that Controller Craig has re-
fused to assume responsibility for the
moneys handled by the commissioner
prior to April 26.
"Now that the Citizens Union has
been annexed by the Socialist party,
it would seem that the time had come
for the citizens to wake up to the peril
of Bclshevikism that is now present in
this city. a certain element in the city
has the idea that they should be sup
ported by the government and that Of
ticials should be allowed to violate tho
laws as long as these officials shout out
the name Of charity or profteers.
Hylan Upholds Day
"I am informed that Mayor Hylan in
JuSIllylHS LII. LAY aCtloHo staCeS tilaC
the Commissioner is on the trail Of the
food trust. Yet DR.. Day himself admits
that he bought eight cars of eggs
from Armour & Co.
"Our government should be O govern
ment Of laws and not Of men. It is fitting,
therefore, to inquire into DR.. Days
method of doing business, and whether
he is really carrying out the provisions
of the law under which his Office was
created, and also whether his pur-
chases come within the meaning Of the
constitution which limits the appro-
priation of city moneys to city pur-
chases, that this order has been OBJ
tanned"

Crop Damage in East
By Frost Only Slight
Hiph Wind Saved Corn in New
York and Pennsylvania Ex-
cept in Few Places

Reports from various parts of New
York and Pennsylvania indicate that
the damage to growing crops from
frost during the last four days is not
extensive, although in localities farm
ers have suffered considerably. The
the entire period of the cold snap was
the salvation Of the corn, but corn in
sheltered spots was cut some. John j.
Dillon, of "The Rural New Yorker" in
commenting yesterday on the damage
by frost, said:
"Frost damaged beans, cucumbers
and to some extent corn in parts of
Sullivan, Ulster, Delaware, Orange,
Dutchess and Columbia counties. In
Sullivan County yesterday l passed one
ten-acre field on a hillside, where there
was good air circulation, and it was not
touched by the frost, while two-acre
lot in sheltered spot, where the wind
did not hit it, was quite badly affected.
1--WE had caller in the Office to-day
from Western New York, and he
brought pretty much the same kind Of
report. He said that in and al olnd
Geneva and Canandaigua and in parts
of Ontario and Wyoming and Living
ston counties the beans and cucumbers
suffered and here and there the corn,
but that generally speaking the damage

heavy enough to hurt the fruit, as the
fruit set some time ago.
"Of course, the low temperature,
while it lasts, will check the growth Of
vegetation, but the weather forecast to-
day indicates that we shall have warm
er weather again in hurry and that
things will pick up again immediately"

New York, it was stated yestrday,
is in danger of finding itself made the
defendant in number of damage
suits. The trouble has arisen over
the fact that about fifty witnesses,
who are charged with no crime, but
who are merely wanted for their testi-
mony, have been detained at the Fifty
third Street prison. This, it is con-
tended, is contrary to law.
Formerly material witnesses were
