Board of Education.
Backing ng Hylan, Cuts
DR.. Ettinger's Power
Adopts New Bylaws Provid.
ing That Auditor and
Other Officers Shall Not
Be Subject Solely to Him

The Board of Education appointed by
Mayor Hylan came to his aid yesterday
in his fight with Superintendent of
Schools Ettinger, and in a secret ses-
sion OF four and half hours altered
the bylaws in such manner that
Dr. Ettinger is deprived of many of his
powers, which will hereafter be vested
in officials under the direct authority
of his honor
In compliance with the demands of
the Mayor bylaw was adopted to the
effect that the auditor must sumbit his
BOOKS to any public accountant or ac-
countants as the Board of Education
may direct. DR.. Ettinger recently de-
MED the authority of the Mayor and
Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfield to
inspect the accounts of the board His
stand was upheld by the Appellate Di-
vision. The Board of Education runs
counter to this decision in it's action
OF yesterday and the matter will prob
ably be taken to the Court of Appeals
The bylaws were also changed to
make the director of reference, re-
search and statistics directly respon-
sible to the Board of Education.
The superintendent of Schools
thinks we have curtailed his powers"
AIMING 5. Prall, president of the board,
said last night. This is not the case.
When the board went into office we
gave him practically care blanche, be-
cause. we were not ourselves fully ac-
quainted with the duties of our own
offices But the powers of the super
ntendent are clearly defined by the
statute and he was never intended to
be IN administration officer, with the
heads of all departments responsible
to him. 1t was intended that he de-
vote his time to directing education. :"

Wreck of the Milwaukee
TO Be Sold for Scrap
Bids Called on Naval Cruiser
Lost in Attmebt to Save
Stranded Submarine

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The wreck
Of the illfated Milwaukee, United
States naval cruiser, which went
aground in the Pacific off Eureka, CAL,
January 13, 1917, is to be sold August
to the highest bidder, it was an
nounced to-day. The 100000 scrap
heap is to be cleared away, and with it
the reminder of a sea tragedy that
cost two ships and nearly entailed the
loss of two more
When the submarine H-3 went
aground late in 1916 the Milwaukee
was one of three ships sent to its res
cue. Hitched in tandem to the subma-
rine, they tugged in vain to pull her
free. The monitor Cheyenne and the
navy tug 1roquois, further off shore,
cndeavored by their lines to the Mil
waukee to hold the cruiser from the
clutches of the surf. The tidal cur
rent and the weight of the steel haw-
sers proved stronger than the com
bined power of the rescue vessels, and
all were being dragged ashore when
the line to the Cheyenne snapped. The
lroquois held on as long as it dared,
then cut its hawser and foated free.
The Milwaukee attempted to cut its
line also, but too late. Her keel had
grounded in tie sand
The ships crew of 500 got ashore
safely, though the keelcd position of
the Milwaukee made impossible the
launching Of her lifeboats

$500 Claims Made
For $1,50O,OOO,OOO
On War Contracts
Board Expects to Finish
Most by Sept. l and to
Adjust Irregular and
Unfinished Agreements
Ne,c York Tribune

Ne,c York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. July 1O.-June 80
was the last day for filing claims
against the government that come
within the scope of the law of March
&. invaldating informal contracts. Not
all Of the claims have yet rea2hed
Washington from remote points, but it
is known that about 1900 claims were
.fled in the last day or two of the time
limit and that the total number will be
about $500, or practically third of
all the contracts that we're outstanding
when the armistice was signed
Members of the War Department
Claims Board, which handles the ir-
regular as we'll as the regular contract
claims, say that the former constitute
an even more complex problem than
the latter. for with them it is often
Necessary to determine what was the
nature OF the agreement, according to
which the claim must be adjusted.
This is practically equivalent to say
ing that in some of the cases a hypo-
thetical contract must now be worked
out. While the board is disposed to be
as tolerant of all bona fde claims as
the law will permit, it will probably
have TO reject sons Of them that have
real merit, because they cannot be
made to fit the requirements of the
law.
The $500 informal contracts had no
legal standing because at the time the
ermisticc was signed they had not been
formally or properly executed. The
Controller of the Treasury ruled that
there could be no settlements of claims
not based on fully regular contracts
As all production was then stopped and
contracts cancelled, this ruling made
it impossible to make any settlements
whatever with holders of informal con-
tracts, even though they had delivered
large quantities of goods.
1t is said that the one DEVELOPMENT
of the Investigation the claims board
has made is the discovery that as
matter of fact very few of the con-
tracts which had been conmpleted and
settled before the armistice were
strictly regular. Some little technical
ity of the laws was neglected in almost
all of them.
The total amount involved in the
Irregular contracts that are now being
adjusted was Sl,50O, 900, and the
uncompleted portion of them involved
was about s521, 100000. Already 1900
of them have been settled, and $780,
100000 has been paid out on their ac-
count, or about IA per cent of the un-
fulfilled portions
In all about $4,000 contracts have
now been settled. In the end, on con-
tracts OF both kinds uncompleted at
the signing of the armistice, the gov
ernnent will pay out 100000, 900 when
all are settled. Very few cases will
fnally go to the court of claims and
the bulk Of the contracts will be dis
posed OF by September L. AS against

Sol Lesser, their manager, got the
beamlng bathing beauties and a few
photographers into three automobiles,
and soon the nine, in their one-piece
suits, were bathing beautifully quite
close to real waves. All Coney Island
that is awake by II o'clock in the morn
ing was there to admire. The photogra-
piers beamed and exposed plate after
plate, and the bathing beauties beamed
and were glad it was cloudy so they
wouldn't get their necks all sunburned.
Into this happy assemblage plodded
a dour employe Of the Park Depart

beauties, the beaming photographers
and at Mr.. Lesser.

called two more policemen who weren't
hampered by horses. Spreading their
coattalls between the bathing beauties
and the spectators, the policemen
herded the former to the bathhouse and
adjured them in the name of Captain
Byron B. Sackett, police bathing suit
censor. to put on their clothes so they
could be arrested.
Mr.. Lesser was arrested, too, and all
corcerned were locked up. In police
