mails Seen by the Patients

Those who entertained the pleasant
conviction that the period mediately
succeeding July l would be marked by
sharp downward diagonal on the
charts of dipsomania statistics are ad-
vised by DR.. Michael Lonergan, Of the
Bellevue psychopathic ward, to revise
their belief. He says the prevalence of
wartime prohibition has had absolutely
no effect on the number of cases OF
many dancing lizards and pink ele-
plants now cavorting before the eyes
of alcoholized men and women as there
ever were. Furthermore, Bellevue ex-
perts have begun to notice various
geological additions, the creations OF
prohibition drinks as deadly as spar
varnish.
II have noted" said DR.. Lonergan

tlent told me he took drink in Canar-
Sic and was hit so hard he hoped into

Most of the cases so far this month
have been those of men who are &C.
customed to drinking heavily. They
say they have had no difficulty in get
ting liquor since prohibition went into
effect. The only difference has been in
the quality and kick of the stuff. Some
patients, in whose cases it has been
necessary to prescribe the hair of the
dog complained of the flavor of the
pure whiskey. Their tastes have beer
reeducated by prohibition stuff. Then
you will find that some Of the dipso.

claim jurisdiction and CONTROL The
situation would reach reductio ad
absurdum if the Board of Educa tion
be considered as subject to dual con-
trol-state and municipal-on the
common-sensc ground that it is i'm
possible to serve two masters. There
have been many acts of aggression
on the part Of the city authorities
from which the school system has
suffered. The municipal authorities
have assumed the control of educa-
tional affairs and their regulation
and management to minute degree,
thereby usurping the functions Of
the legally constituted authorities.
The Board of Education is in finan-

Connecticut Saloons
Agree To Be Bone Dry

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 27.-The
Connecticut Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association at meeting here to-
day decided that no more beer or
liquor with an alcoholic content Of
one-half of per cent or over would
be sold in this state, at least while
the war time prohibition law is
operative. The association has men,
bers in twenty-eight cities and towns
of the state, all Of which were rep
resented at the meeting.
Nathaniel W. Kendall, president Of
the Connecticut Brewers Association,
announced tonight that the brew
cries in the state will stop the manu-
facture Of beer at once on the ad-

morrow, he said, will make only nom
intoxicating beverages as defined by
the Internal Revenue Department.

Subordinates Blamed
By Controller Craig

Controller Craig:
of Regents as a vehicle to override
provisions under which the school
system is being conducted. They
are disinclined to follow the budget.
The Regents committee desires to
suppress the facts. Ettinger and
Cook are trying to stir up strife to
conceal their own misdoings. If the
Regents committee were co-conspira-
tors with the clique of subordinates
employed by the Board of Education
they could not lend themselves with
more facility to the effort to dis
rupt New York City's great cduca-
tional system and turn it over to a
ring Of upstate school politicians.
There is bureaucracy in the school
administration that is trying to
evade the budget control in order to
have money to take care Of its
favorites and perpetuate itself"
Ruling of Assistant Commissioner
Finnegan
State Board of Regents:
"The Board Of Estimate and Ap-
portionment has no legal power or
authority to impose any conditions
upon the expenditure or administra-
ton Of such funds in making the ap-
portionment Of the budget. There is
not syllable in the law which con-
fers on the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, or any other city
officer, authority over the expendi-
ture or administration of such funds.
Regulations prescribed by such
officers or bodies have no binding
effect on the Board of Education.
The board is clothed with
ample power to take any action nec-
essary to protect it's status, to enable
it to perform it's duties and to pre-
vent improper and illegal inter
ference with its rights. The board
should not hesitate to take such ac-
ton"
New-York tribune., 1919-07-28

Education the absolute and specific
right to administer all the money
appropriated to it and to change its
organization when it deems requi-
site"
The Mayor
II am greatly interested to know
whether the law as laid down in this
state is going to be observed by the
educational authorities or whether
they are going to be law unto
themselves. A pernrcious system ex-
lists in the educational department
Of the city. Lying propaganda goes
on for the benefit of few Auditor
Cook controls the Superintendent.
The textbook writer's, the big salary
grabbers, the favorite contractors
and the one-school-at-a- time policy
so that certain favored persons can
be taken care Of should be discon-
tinued. I understand that the Board
of Education is endeavorjng to have
Superintendent Ettinger give his at
tention to the education of the chill
dren instead of interfering in the
financial affairs of the board. Put
Ettinger to work and you will be
doing something for the people of
the city"
Commissioner of Accounts Hirschfeld
Has been trying to make an exam
ination Of the accounts of the Board
Of Education, under orders from the
Mayor, and has claimed the right to
to do this, but taken no other part
in the controversy.

learned to-day. This is to strike out
prohibition.
This section was inserted when the
House was passing the bill because OF
the fear Of Chairman Volstead and
others that the prescribing of liquo,
by physicians might develop "jack.
leg" liquor nuisances in connection
with drug stores. Chairman Volstead
IN the debate on this section, declared
that "one physician might license s
whole community"
The section as it stands practically
prohibits newly graduated doctors anc
physicians who may move their place
of business from prescribing liquor in
case they have their Offices in a drug
store, pharmacy or apartment where
liquor may be legally sold for medici-
nal purposes. The section reads:
mo physician authorized to issue
any prescription for liquor under
this act shall have or shall keep in
his office, or shall examine any per-
son with the purpose in view of
prescribing liquor or issue any such
prescription, in any drug store,
pharmacy, or place where liquor is
sold under authority of this act,
or place Immediately connected
Herewith, except that such physician
shall have had his office in such
drug store, pharmacy, or place for
q period of at least one year imme-
diately preceding and prior to the
going into effect of this act''
The suggestion is also made tha
the Senate committee is going to tone
down the clause providing drasti,
punishment for the transportation O.
liquor in interstate commerce, so tha
any one who is fortunate enough tt
have laid away "wee drop" agains
the drouth will not be punished if h,
finds it necessary to change his resi-
dence and wishes to move his liquo
with his household goods.

Skir'mishes Centre
On Several Issues

While the general line of battle has
been over the question whether city or
state shall control the schools, GER
tain definite and detailed skirmishes
have developed around various points,
and these are now being fought to a
finish. All centre, of course, around
the budget and the expenditures un-
der it; around the question of how far
the city authorities have q right to
control these expenditures and force
the school board to keep exactly within
the specific and detailed items laid
down in the budget 1t is through
this control of the budget and ac-
counts, DR.. Ettinger and Auditor Cook
allege, that the city authorities are
trying to usurp full control of the
educational system. even interfering
in purely educational matters.
The budget is most complicated
affair. Under 1t specific appropria-
tions are made for each separate ac-
tivity Of the Board of Education, the
mount and the purpose being set
down. Such an appropriation is known
as schedule line" and bears a serial
number. For instance, in the schedule
under the general school fund, for day
elementary schools in the 1919 budget
the items for teachers start as fol.

Board Itself Has
PLAYED Both Sides
The Board of Education:

The Board of Education:
Has been on both sides. Under
President Somers it supported Dr.
Ettinger and Auditor Cook in seek
ing legal decision on the demands
of the Controller and city authori-
ties, and tried to arrange a tempo
rary agreement for the handling of
business. Since Aiming s. Prall has
succeeded Somers it has tried to clip
the powers of the superintendent
and has ordered the investigation of
the accounts which was attempted by
Hirschfield and blocked by the courts.
And these are thought to be clarity
ing statements!
The school system, operating in al
this turmoil, has suffered greatly botf
in efficiency and morale. Payrolls have
been held up for weeks, and sometimes
months, obligations incurred by the
schools have remained long unpaid
there has been fight over advances ir
salaries, and long delays and mucf
work have been necessary for transfer
of an employe from one bureau to an
other, or every rearrangement of the
administrative system. 1t was week:
before returning soldiers, whose places
had been kept open for them, could ge
their pay.
During the period of this fight, also
which has been going on for years un
the condition of the schools outside o.
purely educational practices has stead
lily fallen behind the growth of the
city. There has been no adequate plan
ming in advance, no foresight as to as
sured future needs, and a constant in
crease in congestion and decline in tn,
condition of buildings.

st. Marys, Kan, June 1.-THE last
day of the golden jubilee of the St.
Mary's college Monday began with
high mass in the presence of Bishop
Ward, of Leavenworth. The Very
Rev. Xavier McMenamy. provincial
of the Missouri province of the Society
of Jesus was the celebrant of the
mass. The deacon was the Rev. Peter
Wilwerding and subdeacon was the
Rev. Henry Flaherty. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. Charles F.
Buddy, chancellor of the diocese of
st. Joseph. Mo.
Early in the afternoon the students
left for their homes in special train
for Topeka and Kansas City, where
most of them live. ss
At the business meeting of the
alumni association, held in the senior
library Monday afternoon, it was de-
cided to erect a mem orial to the
alumni and former students who gave
their lives for their country. The as
ISOLATION also decided to subscribe
100000 toward the erection and
equipment of a science hall for St.
Marys college.
The following officers were elected
for the association: John Sweeney,

Frank Wade and George Wade, vice
presidents; George Dyer, secretary;
Richard Erbacher, treasurer.
The association passed resolutions
denouncing the Smith Towner bill. de-
