Secretary of Child Welfare
Board Ordered Out of His
Office by Sophie |. Loeb,
Chairman, and Dismissed

Robert W. Hebberd, executive secre-
tary of the Board Of Child Welfare
and Commissioner of Charities under
Mayor Mcclellan, was dismissed from
the clty's service and elected from his
office under q threat of force last Mon
day, it became known yesterday.
Commenting on his dismissal Mr.
Hebberd said:
ION Monday Miss Sophie Irene
Loeb president of the Board Of Child
Wei are, appeared at my office, accom-
panied by policeman, and informed
me that l had been suspended and
must Immediately pack up my private
belongings and get out. If Miss Loeb
had not been present l would have
resisted such summary proceeding,
tut respected her womanhood and
left the office at once. On the follow
ing day the board met and voted for
my dismissal. Only six Of the nine
members were present
The whole thing was frame-up,
pure and simple, to get rid of me.
the only excuse for this high-handed
action being my approval Of an allow
''.Se VI pIo d HloIln 10 q poor Brooklyn
widow whose right to it had not been
fully established. 1t was one of the
most deserving cases | have ever come
across IN all my experience l did not
have the heart to deny this application
ior pension, although the investiga
ton concerning 1T had not been com
pleted In my estimation the poor
woman was entitled to q pcnsion."
Mr.. Hebberd signed the initials of
Mrs. Hannah B. Einstein, member of
the board, to the approval of the al
!owance in question. He justified this
act on the ground that in each instance
IN which he signed Mrs. Einstein's
initials the approvals had been passed
upon by the board. Mr.. Hebberd saws
that Mrs. Einstein authorized him to
sign her initials to the approval of
recommendations for allowances, but
told him that he could not sign them
to disallowances or decreases in pen
slons already granted.
There is no doubt in my mind as
to the reason for Miss Loeb's action
III dismissing me without a moments
notice." said Mr.. Hebbcrd ~ refused
to certify the pay roll to the fact that

Puts Blame ON Devil
Man Who Sent Bomb to Mrs.
ROdman Wanamaker Sentenced

when the devil is in the game he
schemes all kinds of things" said
Ernest A. G. Kurth yesterday when
Judge Wadhams, General Sessions.
asked him why he sent bomb to Mrs.
Rodman Wanamaker at her Tuxedo
Park home last September 27.
Judge Wadhams sentenced Kurth.
one-time Wnnamaker butler, to serve
from one year and three months to
two years and six months in states
prison. Kurth, who had been dismissed
from the Wanamaker household, said
he thought that Mary O'Brien, a maid
would open the pepper gunpowder
bomb package; that it was she and not
Mrs. Wanamaker with whom he
wanted to get even."
Sentence was imposed after the court
heard Anson Beard. son-in-law of the
late j. j. Hill, and W. w. Hall, evangel
list, plead in Kurth's behalf. Kurth
said he was not "all there" when he

New York Colleges
Will Not Oppose
Teachers Unions
School Heads Do Not Believe
Many Are Joining Here
and Will Not Act Unless
Radicalism Develops

It was said yesterday that there
probably will be no active opposition
in local college circles to the efforts
now being made to organize college
and university professors and teachers
into the American Teachers Union,
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor. provided the union does not
run into radical channels.
At New York University 1t was ex-
planned that the faculty is about
equally divided on the issue. A high
official Of the university said that all
the members of the faculty were ques-
toned by him, and that while some
regarded the formation Of teachers
and professors unions as on par
with unions Of policemen and other
public service employees, others be-
lieved that organization appeared to
be an unavoidably necessary means
for teachers and professors to i'm
prove their economic position. The
official said the university authorities
would take no stand on the issue, but
that they regard with distinct SYM
pathy any movement Of professors
and instructors to raise their salaries.
Of the university woul0 make no COM
ment on the union issue, but confined
himself to the following statement:
$50 far as l am informed no men,
bers Of the teaching staff of New York
University have entered the proposed
union of teachers. 1t has been an
nounced that the teachers of New York
University will be eligible to member
ship, but I do not think any of our
teachers have availed themselves of
this provision.
"The administration, acting upon a
proposal of the university senate, some
weeks ago invited the faculties of the
several schools to name members Of
committee for consultation on teach
ers' salaries. We are now preparing
about half of which is to be used as
endowment for teachers salaries and
the balance to include, among other
immediate necessities, the payment of
indebtedness incurred in the last few
years."
William G. Wilcox, former president
of the Board of Education and present
head Of the Staten Island Academy,
said:
THE board Of trustees of the Staten
Island Academy has not considered the
matter at ALL l don't think member
ship Of any individual teachers in the
union would result in any action by
the trustees"
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, would
not be quoted on the matter "I have
nothing to say" said DR.. Butler. 'I
know of no teachers union movement
at Columbia"

Strong Opposition Precludes
Action by Time the
Roads Should Be Re.
turned, Senators Saw
Recess May Be Deferred
Movement to Set Aside
Cummins Measure Defeat
ed by Narrow Margin

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-Hope OF
enacting railroad legislation by
January l, the date on which Presi-
dent Wilson has announced the roads
would be turned back to private con-
troll, virtually was abandoned to-day
by Senate leaders.
Strong and unexpected opposition
developed during consideration of the
Cummins bill, designed to meet con-
ditions with the end of government
control, and it was by a slim and
narrow margin that it's advocates de-
feated a motion to set it aside and
take up the sugar control measure.
In view OF the short time remaining
before the Christmas recess and the
fact that the Cummins bill, if passed,
must be sent to conference with the
Esch bill, recently passed by the
House, Republican and Democratic
Senators predicted that it would not
be humanity possible to frame law
by the end of the month, even if Con-
gress kept steadily and continuously
at work.
The days upturn was keenly dis
appointing to friends of the Cummins'
bill, which would have been passed
Monday, with less than score of
Senators voting. except for q demand
by Senator La Follette Republican of
Wisconsin, for q quorum.
Entire Programme Upset
On an yea and nay vote the bill was
passed and Vice-President Marshall
was ready to announce the result when
the obvious absence of a quorum upset
the whole proceeding and re-opened
discussion still unending.
During the course of an address to-
day, in which he made a sharp de-
mand for immediate action, Senator
Underwood, Democrat, of Alabama, took
notice of widely circulated rumo RS
that the President would not return
the roads to their owners on January
l. Senator Underwood frankly an
nounced that he did not know what
President Wilson intended to do.
But" he added, "the President has
said that he would turn them back
the first of the year; and it has been
my observation that when he said he'd
do thing he did it,
Taking up for the time being the
minority leadership, Senator Under
wood fought off attempts to sidetrack
the railroad bill, and defended it
against attacks by members of his own
party. While he did not approve all
of its provisions, the Alabama Scna-
tor declared it protected the financial
interests of the roads and did not un-
duly burden the public.

Three.ffths of Jewish
Hospital Fund Raised
100000 Moro Needed for
Washington Heights Memorial
to Accommodate 90 Patients

Forty thousand dollars in additional
subscriptions were reported last night
at the dinner of the Jewish Memorial
Hospital Fund at Floral Gardens, 146th
Street and Broadway. The total fund
has now passed the 100000 mark, leav-
ing 100000 yet to be collected by the
workers. who have been instructed to
devote attention especially to the busi-
ness section of Washington Heights.

pected.
The project calls for the erection Of
a hospital affording room for ninety
six patients. The Headquarters Of the
fund is at 558 West 158th Street.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-12

made BY Senator La Toilette, who al
ready had spoken two full days and who
has not approached the end Of his long
address. After he had been steadily
assailing the measure for two hours
Senator La Toilette temporarily yielded
the floor to Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, who was proceeding
to demand elimination Of certain pro-
visions, characterized as "Bolshevis-
tic" when he halted suddenly and an
nounced that he did not intend to speak
to empty benches.
In the long snarl in which the Senate
found itself while trying to decide in
the course Of two-hour fight whether
to continue with the railroad or take
up the sugar bill. the lack of interest
In pending railroad legislation was Bit
terly attacked from both sides of the
chamber. Almost an hour was lost to-
day in quorum calls, which Senator
Smoot, Republican. of Utah, denounced
as inexcusable with vitality important
question before Congress. But in the
two-hour wrangle-not on the sugar
bill itself, but the question of taking
1t up--Republicans and Democrats had
on their fighting clothes, with the dis
cussion running far afeld.
La Toilette Foresees Profit
In his argument against the bill,
Senator La Toilette declared its enact
ment would add to the cost Of living,
because an increase in freight rates
would come with the end of govern
ment control, which, he insisted. had
been eminently successful.
Senator LaFollette said he had been
assured "by competent men in the
railroad administration" that the crest
of the hill had been reached, and that
government operation would show a
profit from this time on and that there
would be no need for an increase in
rates."
There was suggestion from a num-
Der of Senators after adjournment to-
night that It might be necessary to
defer the Christmas recess.
