Teacher Accused as
''Silent BOlshevist''
Fights g Suspension
District of Columbia Court to
Pass on Right of School
Board to Punish Woman
Who Discussed Soviets i'm
Glass
NeW York Tribune
Wdshin gfor Bureau

WASHINGTON, June 25-Only four
hours were consumed for arguments to-
day in the case of Miss Alice Wood.
high school teacher, against the Dis
trlct of Columbia Board of Education
for resembling of her suspension last
March because she permitted Bolshe-
vism to be discussed in her English
class.
Justice Hitz, of the District Supreme
Court, took the case under advisement
The case involves the right of trial
for teachers charged with improper
conduct of their classes before they
are suspended without pay. Organized
teachers of Washington are back of
the fight being made by Miss Wood to
obtain by mandamus the weeks salary
lost during the suspension, and to have
her record cleared of the charge of
Bolshevism. She cannot be advanced to
higher rating unless this is done.
In it's rebuttal the Board of Educa-
tion said Miss Wood was ''sient sym
pathizer" of the Rolsheviki, because
she allowed the subject to be discussed
by her pupils without condemning the
soviets. It AYERS that she was guilty
of lndlscretion in permitting the topic
to come up in her classroom and mer-
tied the rebuke of the board
Counsel for the teacher argued that
if the board could suspend a teacher
for week, without a hearing or any
formality of charges preferred, it would
be legally able to fix the suspension at
month or year as punishment
under the same conditions. 1t was
contended that the organic act passed
by Congress in 1905 provides that a
teacher shall be dismissed only on the
written recommendation of the super
intendent of schools for lack of aca-
demic or pedagogical fitness or after a
trial if the charges involve conduct or
morality.
Facts in this case, admitted by both
sides, show that the Board of Educa-
tion passed a resolution to suspend
Miss Wood after an informal opinion
OF committee meeting had been made
to 1T, and there was no notice served
on Miss Wood to appear
Conrad Syme, Corporation Counsel
for the District of Columbia, argued
that the board was justified in acting
as it had, because to have held an
open meeting at that time thew would
only advertised Bolshevism widely.
The teachers contend Miss Wood was
privileged to answer the questions of
pupils regarding Bolshevsm and the
soviet government, because her su-
periors had ruled that current topics
and study of current periodicals was
to be regular course. The District
of Columbia answered that such a
broad Interpretation of the current
topic course might lead to discussion
of many subjects, such as woman's
relation to the government as attrib-
uted to the Bolshevist platform, con-
sidered improper for the immature
minds of the high school student.

CiUe a Thought
10 Manhattan Bridge

COZ COURSE, you know, Manhattan
:, ~ Bridge is the busiest bridge in
tne city, don't you" said Nathan Badd,
OF l3l Canal Street. Wnen asked how
tralhc arrangements at the Canal
street approach could be improved, he
said that it was hard to tell.
Henry Hall, clerk in cigar store
on the northwest corner Of Canal
Street and the Bowery, suggested that
the wall which incloses the approach
to the bridge on the east side Of the. the
Bowery at Canal Street. be taken down.
"lf they built a diagonal roadway
for traffic where that wall is thew could
turn some of the traffic" said he.
There is no question about Manhattan
Bridge being the one used most in this
city" 'A'''
What we need here is an overhead
railway terminal to take some of the
cars. The elevated should connect
with another elevated railway going
across the bridge, and the passengers
could be accommodated better" said c.
Iefkowitz, haberdasher of 66 Bowerv.

Protests to Hylan
Against olice Use
of u. S. Uniform
Attorney Charges Violation
of Army Regulations in
Detectives Practice of
Catching Girls on Street

The practice recently adopted by
the vice squad of masquerading in
army and navy uniforms for the pur-
pose OF arresting women for disor-
Derby conduct moved Louis A. Cuvillier.
an attorney of 43 Cedar Street and
former Assemblyman, to write letter
Of protest to Mayor Hylan.
Mr. Cuvillier said yesterday that he
would also call the matter to the atten-
tion of United States District Attorney
Caffey. The daughter of one of his
Harlem. together with friend, by de-
tectives posing as naval officers His
letter follows:
q desire to call your attention to
the action of the vice squad of the
Police Department in arresting inno-
cent working girls in New York under
the disguise of being members of the
army and navy and wearing army and
navy uniforms. | can we'll appreciate
the good work of the Police Depart
ment in preventing vice in the streets
Of the city, but l think the time has
come when the Police Department
should be more cautious in making ar
rests of innocent women on the streets
Of this city and especially using the
subterfuge of the army and navy uni
form.
"On the 17sh instant a daughter of
client of mine, nineteen years old,
and girl friend of hers, twenty, both
working in a shirtwaist factory, after
thei. days work went to a dressmaker
in Harlem to have a dress ritted. While
on their way two men dressed in the
United States navy uniform accosted
them. These young women, whose
patriotism was attracted by the uni
form, spoke TO the men in reply.
These two men invited the young
ladies' to the rear room of a cafe and
treated them to soft drinks and after
ward made improper proposals to them.
s'Ihe girls refused and were placed
under arrest charged with the crime
Of vagraney"
Mr.. Cuyillier then described how
they were bailed out by his client, the
mother of one girl, and the next morn
ing were found guilty and remanded
until the Goth for sentence. Sentences
were suspended on that date.
These two young women were never
arrested before" he continued, "and
the reason why l do not mention their
names is due to the fact of the hu-
initiation of being charged with such
q helnous crime. l am willing to give
you or your representative the facts
in this case at any time.
Il am of the opinion" Mr. Cuvillier
continues, that the Police Department
is guilty of violating United States
statutes in using the uniform OF the
United States army or navy for such
low and degrading work"
Detective Gunson, who arrested Miss
Lillian. Cohen and Miss Sally Goblin
on charges of disorderly conduct some
time ago, will be placed on trial for
alleged conduct unbecoming an officer
at Police Headquarters tomorrow.
