the new Hearst measure, announcing it

The new bill differs in many respects
from the first introduced. But both

paign material next fail. when Mr.
Hearst hopes to run against Governor
Whitman. hope not shared by Tam
many Hall. There is no chance of the
Legislature passing any Dill of this
nature, and if there were, the Governor
would veto it.
The now measure provides for the
issuance OF revenue bonds to finance
public utilities acquired by the city.
These bonds would become a liability
against the city. The original bill,

Mrs. Howard Gould Tells Why
She Aids Negro Candidacy

Before leaving for Chicago ycstcr-
day to attend the convention of the
new National party Mrs. Howard
Gould enumerated some of her rca-
sons tor openly supporting Reverdy c.
Ransom. negro candidate for Congress
IN the 21st Congressional District.
Mrs. Gould spoke at Ransom meet
ing Tuesday night and sent her check
TOR 500 to aid in defraying his cam
paign expenses.
Mrs. Gould is legally separated from
Howard Gould, She was Katherine
Ciemons, an actress, before her mar
rage. AT the time of her separation
from Mr.. Gould she expressed herself
as strongly opposed to divorce, and
that question has never come up when
her differences with her husband were
discussed. either IN or out Of court.
AS to her support of the candidacy
of Ransom, Mrs. Gould declared it Of
tered her an opportunity. she be-
lieved. to do a little something toward
aiding in the development of the At
rican race in this country
$50 long as we have enfranchised
the negro said Mrs. Gould, 81 think
that We should make greater effort
than we do at present to aid and en-
courage him to make moro and better
use of his acknowledgements. At the
present time the tendency in this
country believe, is to oppress the
colored people by overt and insidious
practices"
Mrs. Gould explained that she was a
Southern woman, but that she had al
ways felt a sympathetic interest in
the negroes, largely because of the OPP
preston practised on them by the
white people
Although she did not refer to it her
self. the fast was recalled BY those

School Board to
Make Own Choice
Of Superintendent

For ,he first time since the retire
ment of City superintendent Of Schools
William II. Maxwell, the Board Of Edu
cotion was given an opportunity yes
terday to demonstrate publicly what its
policy is to be in the matter OF choos
ing his successor. The board made it
evident that it will select the new Off
oial without any outside influence.
The incident which disclosed the
boards attitude occurred at its regular
meeting. when Professor John Dewey,
who holds a chair in philosophy at
Columbia University, requested and
was granted permission to speak upon
the subject. Professor Dewey an
nounced that he represented the Git
lZens' Conference on Educational
Policy. as chairman of the committee
on invitations of that organization, and
that he wished suggestions from the
board as to how he and his colleagues
might proceed in the matter Of recon-
mending an eligible candidate for the
uperintendency. =
"A number of important ctizeno,"
Professor Dewey said, "including two
former presidents Of the Board of Edu-
cation, have organized the conference
for this sole purpose, and we desire to
know what method of procedure we
ShOuld 1OlIOW:
Board to Make Own Selection
This brought forth bombardment
of questions from the members of the
board. President Somers was the first
to reply. and. after announcing that
the board had not III any way con-
sidered the question and thanking Pro-
fessor Dewey for the cooperation Of
fered, he said:
from anybody. as l publicly announced,
but the Board of Education doesn't
propose to delegate its powers to any
body"
Commissioner Wilsey next took the
floor and called attention to the fact
that the old board was called unwieldly
because it was composed of more than
forty members, and that with outsiders
in on so important a question 1t could
not possibly serve as it should.
Efforts by Commissioner Prall to
learn the name of the individual who
organized the conference were without
result, and Professor Dewey's mission
ended the same way when President
Somors called an adjournment without
Offering any advice.
After the board had elected, by a
vote of to l. Thomas @. Baker as a
Griffin it approved some important rec
concentrations for patriotic war meas
ures.

A communication from the local

that "therc is no place in the public

or whose patriotism is not of the most
positive and unequivocal kind" was
unanimously approved
