Without Receiving a Cent
SncciOl CorrcSnondc,i


CHICAGO. Nov. s.-Thc action Of
Mayor William Hale Thompson's school
board last May in dismissng Charles
B. Chadscy as Superintendent or
Schools after two months in Office, de-
spite the fact he held four-year con-
tract, was ovcrrulcd to-day by Judge
Scanlon in the Cook County 'ourt.
Judge Seaman denied motions for a
new trial and arrest of judgment made
by Chester f. Cleveland, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel.
The courts ruling is regarded as a
smashing defeat for control of the
schools by the city administration. A
contest has been on for three years be-
tween Jacob M. Loeb, who headed the
school board that went out Of Office
last May. and Mayor Thompson. Loeb
was a Thompson appontee, but split
with the Mayor.
Peter A. Mortcnson. who was named
superintendent by the Mayors school
board, indicated tonight he wou d
make no fight to keep his place. Mr..
Cleveland, however, said he would 90
before the Appellate Court Monday to
request an order restraining Dr. Chad
sey from resuming authority pending
final disposition Of the case in the
higher courts.
Chadsey was employed at $4,000 a
year, said to- be the largest salary
paid any superintendent of schools, but
he never received cent. Since July
he has ben dean of the College of Edu-
cation at the University of Illinois.

Girl Identified as Taxi
Robbers Companion
Chauffeur Says She Was With
Soldier Who Black lacked
Him and Stole Car

Gladys Brundage, nineteen and
pretty, didn't flick an eyelash yester-
day when Detectives Harden and Kehoe
told Magistrate Kochendorfer she had
been positively identified by a taxicab
who fractured his skull on the night of
October 27 with blackjack, robbed
him and, while he lay unconscious on
Queens Road, stole his car. The girl,
whose home is in Fifteenth Avenue,
Sea Cliff, Long Island, steadfastly de-
MED all knowledge of the crime She
was remanded for hearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the police are comparing
this crime with the murder Of Samuel
Peschkin, of Front Street, Hampstead,
another taxicab driver, on May % last.
They say the details are similar.
Jacob Anton, fifty-five years, of 90
Jackson Avenue, Mineola, was the man
who, according to the detectives. iden-
titled Gladys Brundage. They took
her to his home. where he is still laid
up from the effects of the beating.
A soldier and a woman hired Anton's
taxcab on the night in question and
were driven to Manhattan On the
return journey the soldier told the
chauffeur to examine a rear tire to
ascertain If it were flat AS Anton
bent to his task he was struck several
times on the head. When he regained
consciousness his pockets had been

machine was gone.

work of the submarines became more
iii ,scult because of British inventions,
such as listening stations. from which
it was possible to hear any submarine
entering the Channel, and also the
'ast- developing British flying service,
which made it extremely dangerous for
J-Noats.
This situation became materially
worse in 1913. The Germans, however,
were able to countcrnct the, mines to
some extent by sending aviators over
the mine fields at ebb tide, when the
mines noated and could be charted
Testimony was given also that the
Germans tried to underestimate, rather
than ovcrcstmate, the losses of ships
they sank. Each returning officer re-
ported minutely as to the size and
probable tonnage of the vessel. The

Captain Bartonbach said the Ad-
miralty deducted 100000 tons monthly
for destruction by mines. In his
opinion the submarine warfare had
been declared too early, as Germany
was not ready and did not have suf-
ticient U-boats. Germany had only
about thirty boats, he said, in Febru-
ary, 1916.

Ncic Tori- Tribune

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. The State
Department in joint resolution in
troduced in the House to-day by Rep
resentative Gould of New York. is
called upon to insist upon the reim-
bursement by the Mexican government
liam O. jenkins. American consular
agent at Puebla, who was abducted by
bandits last month The resolution
also requests the Mexican government
be informed that this government will
expect it to prosecute and punish the
abductors Of Mr. Jenkins.
Senator King introduced a resolution
in the upper house asking the State
Department to report whether the
Mexican government had been request
ed to reimburse Mr.. jenkins for the
amount of the ransom.
Criticism of the State Departments
policy of declining to insist upon reim-
bursement Of Jenkins was made in a
statement issued by REPRESENTATIVE
Gould at the time he introduced his
resolution.
"Open Season" for Americans
"The Department of State" he said,
"in open and cynical repudiation of the
most sacred Obligation of government,
to protect the lives, liberty and prop
erty of its citizens, has declared an
open season on Americans for bandits
and rebels in Mexico. Further it has
even extended this reputation to its
own official repre- sentatives in Mexico.
With official sanction ii has permitted
the statement of policy to go forth to
the world"
Mr.. Gould then quotes the following
as the expressed policy Of the State
Departments:
"'The fact that Jenkins William 0.
jenkins. United States consular agent
at Puebla, Mexico) was an official of
the United States government has no
bearing on the matter. Americans in
Mexico can expect no more and no diff
7erent protection than is afforded to
Mexicans under Mexican law
"Could any police of q self-respect-
ing. responsible government be more
untenable or more intolerable to its
citizens" Mr.. Could continued.
Calls 1t Shameful Act
"Thus. If relatives or friends Of a
representative Of the United States
government find it necessary to pay
S150,000 to insure his safety while on
his official mission in a foreign and
friendly country, our government has
~ iuIeIesl III the dllalr. ana, 1urthcr,
If other Americans in d friendly coun-
try are kidnapped and held for ransom,
. or killed, their government has no
greater interest in their misfortunes
than in those of Mexican nationals in
Mexico.
'ln the shameful history of our re-
cent relations with Mexico nothing
stands out more disgracefully than
this. No menace of Bolshevism could
strike more directly at the root of gov
ernment by law and order. And vet
it is in perfect accord with. and the
natural reflex from. the policy Of this
government with respect to Mexico
since 1910.

The City of Washington, D. c., is

of Nations, but the United States is to
have the honor of the first meeting
Reports from Paris say that this
decision has practically been made
and that the formal announcement
will come little later.
According to the present plans the

of Man and Federation of the World
will meet next October at the White
House, and Woodrow Wilson will be
the first presiding officer.
An Englishman, formerly private
secretary to Premier Lloyd George,

has been selected as the first secretary
of the League. He will be the head of
the "secretariat", and chief executive
officer in matters of routine.
