City Will Dismiss
All Alien Teachers

The Board of Education at its regu-
Lar meeting yesterday put itself
sQuarely on record regarding the en-
ployment of aliens in the schools.
Thomas E. Finnegan, acting State Com
missioner of Education, attacked the
employment Of persons not American
citizens and called attention to the
fact that aliens must not be employed
under any circum stances as teachers.
Those aliens who are now employed
as teachers will have time in which to
declare their intention and take out
citizenship papers. Those who do not
intend to become citizens will be dis
missed.
A director of reference, research
and Statistics was to have been elected
at the meeting. Action was postponed.
however, pending certain amendments
to the bylaws. The board has also to
elect a director of lectures. Six men,
it was said, are under consideration for
the position.
Following a report from a special
committee, the board approved increas-
ING the pay of janitors. Nine hundred
dollars year was set as minimum
wage and a 10 per cent increase in all
janitors' pay was approved.

Holub Penniless
After Making
Fortune Quickly
Austrian Charged With Get
Rich-Quick Plan Can't
Raise $4,000 Bail

John Holub, an Austrian, charged
with conducting get-rich-quick'
enterprise, with Offices in West Forty
second Street, and who fled just in
time to escape arrest, was brought
back to the city yesterday from Ell
Paso Tex, where he was captured. AL
though Holub admitted, according to
the police, securing more than 100000
in the course of the few months he was
operating here, he declares he has not
a dollar left
Detective John Cuniff, who brought
Holub back from Texas, said the prs
oner insisted he had given his last
dollar to the woman who left the city
with him. She left FL Paso the day
he was placed under arrest
Taking money from confding women,
the police say, was ridculously easy
for Holub Scores of women, they
assert, intrusted thousands of dollars
to him without the slightest security.
His methods, it is charged, were sim
plicity itself.
Operating chiefly by means Of ad-
vertisemcnts in German papers Holub
promised extravagent returns on money
invested. He was particular to tell
them that their profits would continue
L
time, as interest days came around and
the clients called for the money due
them, the police say, Holub would pay
promptly and then induce his custom
ers to reinvest the entire amount with
him.
SO far as the police are able to learn
only one customer ever made money
through dealing with Holub. That is a
woman who withdrew her entire ac-
count of $4,000 few days before he
disappeared. The police intend to
question her, although Holub insists
that she had no knowledge of the char
acter Of his business.
Holub was arraigned durng the after
noon IN General Sessions and held in
$4,000 bail for further pleading. Be
fore his arragnmcnt he tol, his story
| to Assistant District Attorney Dooling
According to his own statement, it is
asserted. he was employed as butler
by a we'll known lawyer living in the
was insufficient, and his first attempt
at high finance, it Is declared, was
made at the expense Of maid en-
.ployed in the same household She
gave him her savings
A short time later the Office on West
Forty second Street was opened. AT
that time Holub told the District At
| torney his capital amounted to $40. Of
this sum he paid So for one ADVERTISE
ment. After that money came in faster
than he could count it, so he said, but
not faster than he could spend it.
With the sudden influx of money
l1olub told the District Attorney, he
blossomed forth as a spender. An ex-
pensive apartment uptown. suite in q
downtown hotel, automobiles hired by
the week, and such were only few of
his expenditures. Then, when a crash
seemed imminent. he left the city.
In default of bail, Holub was COM
mtted to jail. Frederick Ware, of 291
Broadway, was assigned to defend him.

Edges Democratic
Senate Opponent
Is Still in Doubt
Four Candidates Insist They
Have Won Jersey Party
Nomination

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 25.-Governor
Walter +. Edge will be the Republican
candidate for the long term in the
United States Senate. lie has received
vote that exceeded by over 25, 900 the
combined votes of his opponents. Rep
resentative Edward NJ. Gray and George
L. Record.
But who the Governors Democratic
opponent is to be remains a mystery.
On the early returns from Southern
Jersey George VI. La Monte, former
Commissioner of Banking and 1nsur-
ance, had easily captured the Demo
cratic nomination, for which ne had
been designated by the organization.
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, a con-
tender for the Democratic nomination,
was ready to concede defeat and send
the usual congratulations to La Monte
when his committee received figures
which indicated that he had at least
tied his opponent and possibly beaten
him.
Then came along the friends of
Alexander Simpson, another contender
tor the Democratic nomination, with
the claim that their man was very
much In the running and would un-
doubtedly win the nomination. Not
to be outdone by the others, Frank Nc
Dermit, the fourth man in the race,
upset all calculations late this after
noon by announcing that he was far
from being a dead one," his chances
appeared as hopeful as those of La
Monte, Hennessey and Simpson.
Pinned down for actual figures, the
campaign managers of all four candi-
dates admitted that they had nothing
but dope" on which to base their
claims. and in the absence of official
hgures New Jersey went to bed to-
night without knowing the identity of
the Democratic candidate.
The 5000 Democrats now in various
army cantonments throughout the
country Will be the deciding factor in
the Democratic free -for-all. Special
commissioners have been appointed to
take the soldier vote, but it will be at
least thirty days before it is tabulated
and the result known.

Mrs. Leavitt, Expert on Election
Laws, to Take Vote Overseas
Only Woman Member
Among Seven on State
Ballot Commission Named
to Gather Returns From
New York Citizens in
Service

Leaving the work of getting out the
vote of New York women at home, Mrs.
Helen NJ. Leavitt, of the New York
State Woman Suffrage party, will sail
next week for Europe to collect the
votes of New York women now in the
service Of their country abroad. Be-
cause she thinks that her appointment
will challenge the attention of women
here and help to bring them out on
registration and election days, Mrs.
the intelligence department Of the
party long enough for the two months
task ahead of her with the Overseas
Election Commission.
Women must take up the political
job here" said Mrs. Leavitt yesterday
in her office at 303 Fifth Avenue, "and
the state administration thinks enough
Of the interests Of women and the
votes of women to put a woman on the
Overseas Election Commission they
will get out and vote in spite of all
the distractions of these busy days"
Expert on Election Laws
Mrs. James l.. Laidlaw, acting chair
man Of the state party, conhded yes
terday 80 reporters that the reason
Mrs. Leavitt was chosen was because
she knew more about this states cleo
tion laws than any other woman. Mrs.
Leavitt. however, is interested only in
the suffrage angle and in the fact that
Secretary of State Hugo considered the
woman element and appointed a
woman.
Mrs. Ladlaw announced that Mrs.
Leavitt was the only person living who
had attended every session of the New
York State Legislature for the last three
years, but Mrs. Leavitt said she be-
lieved she had competition among the
page boys.
Mrs Leavitt is one of seven mem
bers of the election commission and
the only woman appointee. Work for
each member has not been definitely

but declining to repeat what the wee
President had told them.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National American Woman Sui
frage Association, opened the interview
with the jesting explanation that she
had feared Mr.. Marshall would feel
hurt if he were overlooked in the ser
les of visits the suffragists were paying
to members of the Senate who mad a
vote, while he had none.
She then presented to him a copy
of the documents which were given to
all Senators to- day. showing the great
increase in suffrage sentiment.
"Mr Vice President. hand you here
with proof conclusive of the suffra-
gists' claim that there is great de,
mand for woman suffrage by Federal
action" said Mrs. Gait.
Extent Of Suffrage Support
"This material shows to what extent
the Federal amendment has been advo-
Gated by the Legislatures and political
parties in the states. We are to-day
handing Ii is data to the Senators, be-
cause tomorrow our measure comes up
in the Senate. and we expect the Sem
ate, as the highest legislative body in
the United States, to put the crown and
| seal on this legislative action of the
states.
"If it we're possible under the pro
visions of many Of the state consti-
tutions the women of these states
would be voters by state action. Since
it Is not possible, these women turn to
the national government.
"The entire world has now turned
its eyes to the United States. as the
accepted and acknowledged leader of
democracy. Yet many other countries
have exceeded our own in promptness
in enfranchising their women and
making democracy realized fact. Our
opponents find satisfaction in quoting
the many defeats of woman suffrage.
1t is true that in legislatures, III po-
Ntical conventions, our cause has met
many defeats. but our cause has never
met loss, for one cannot lose what
one has never had. The only thing
that counts is our gain, and the sgnif-
cant thing is that no political conven-
tion this year has refused to indorsc
suffrage or the Federal amendment"

Only citizens in actual military ser

Mrs. Leavitt has had wide political
experience in the state. She had
charge of circularizing the soldier vote
for suffrage last year, the result Of
which was to win suffrage as far as
the soldiers were concerned by an over
