MRS. VANDERBILT
HAYSSENATOR
Wadsworth Scored as Man
Who Does Not Repre-

,By Herald Leased wire.)

Rochester, N. Y, March 4.-Sharp
criticism of Senator James w. Wads-
worth, jr., was voiced by Mrs. Frank
A. vanderlip today at the sectional
conference of the New York State
League for Women Voters.
I'VE have come to the conclusion
that the opinions of his State have
absolutely no weight with him,
said Mrs. Vnaderlip. He Is impene-
trable to New York ideas. He can
not visualize an idea until II has
become a fact. He trails behind
public opinion some years instead
of leading or forming 1t. II New
York wishes to risk a Democratic
victory in the State which also
risks. a Democratic victory in the
country. Il can do no better than

A motion to the effect that Ir.
wadsworth should not be returned
to the Senate for the next six years
vas offered, but declared to be out
of order and the following was sub
stituted:
Resolved, That New York State
should send to the Senate for the
next six years, a man of progress
sive ideas and broad vision"
This was adopted and one woman
Immediately arose and said 1t was

JUDGE REFUSES
TO DROP TRIAL

Grand Rapids. Mich. March A.
Motions for. dismissal of charges
against defendants In the Michigan
election fraud trial here were de-
MED today by Federal Judge Char
ence w. Sessions.
"I believe taere Is evidence from
which the jury would be warranted
In finding a verdict of guilty in each
case as the case stands at present"
the court stated In announcing the
ruling.
"It would be an abuse OF judicial
discretion IL / were not to submit
their cases to the jury. / believe
there is enough evidence to warrant
a verdict of guilty IL enough Jurors
render q decision.
Much stress had been laid on the
fact that many of these respondents
were not acquainted with the other"
he said. "or that the defendant had
no knowledge of the doings of an
other defendant. That Is a very mi
nor matter in a conspiracy charge.
1t is not a controlling factor at ALL"

til the Senate asks me my opinion
1 shall not talk further.
This Is a much bigger subject
than any so-called personal con-
troversy. When the Senate gets at
1t I think we win all recover our
perspective"
Plans No Special Meeting.
Van Schaick does not foreses the
calling Of a special meeting OF the
board before Its next regular gath
ering, March IL.
However, IL three members of
the board ask me to call a special
meeting" he added, "I must do so
under the law" Some sort of con-
ference Is looked for before the
members go before the subcommit-
tee.
Senator Sherman yesterday point
ed out defects in the present sys-
tenn of selection Of board members
Il have had much experience" he
said, with the direct election of
school boards and the principal Of
hcers OF schools. In the long run
the election of such officers becomes
the subject of endless political
jockeying, even of bribery charges
while the schools suffer from con-
stant Acknowledgement
1T is equally unsatisfactory to
have these officers appointed by a
board Of judges and 1 am informed
as matter of fact. that only one
member of the District Supreme
Court concerns himself in the mat
ter. I think it would be much bet
ter to have these officers appointed
by the President of the United
States with power to remove them
from office for misconduct or inef-
ficiency."
Advocates "Shake Up."
A ruthless shaking up" of the
present. school system was adyocat-
ed by Senator Henderson, another
su ubcommitteeman 'in the interest ot
children who attend the schools and
without regard to the selfish in
terests of any school oficer who
happens to be affected"
Scores of letters have been re-
ceived by the committee from civic
and business organizations and in
dividuals. particularly teachers
who in a number of cases promise
the disclosure of valuable testimony
concerning school administration II
they are protected.
Van Schaick declared last night
he had received from Senator Sher-
man, chairman of the special COM
mite on school investigation, an
invitation to appear before the
body at that time and his testi-
mony will be followed by that OF
other board members and of Thurs
ton.
Calls 1t IUnsavory Mess.
Chairman Sherman's attitude to-
ward the school situation may be
gauged by his characterization of II
yesterday as an ''unsavory mess"
He declared the committee would
go to the root of the Van Schaick-
Thurston affair. He further voiced
his disapproval of the present meth
cd of appointment of Board of Edu-
cation members by the Justices of
the District Supreme Court. and
stated his belief that the best ar
rangement would be for the Presi-
dent to name the men and women
composing II.

The Senate has created a commits

alton and to fix the responsibility
where it properly belongs for ex7
isting conditions. have felt that
that was the proper place in which
to have the issues tried out and I
have felt that it would only be
right and fair for the citizens to
suspend judgment and wait until
a fair hearing could be given to
both sides OF the controversy.
still feel that the daily agitation
of this matter Is not helping the sit
uation in the schools, and i only
make this statement in response to
your query in order that no one
may have grounds for the belief
that do not recognize the right
of the citizens Of the District to
know the attitude Of the members
of the board and the consideration
that Influenced their judgment IN
this matter"
Thurston Issues Denial.
Thurston declared last night he
was attempting no such appeal in
reading the letter into the record,
but merely making a statement to
refute the charges against him"
That Thurston will be a willing
witness before the Senate subcom-
mittee is assured. Whether he will
accept the virtual dismissal notice
of the board without a fight he
still refuses to say. But all indi-
cations are that he will carry the
conflict to finish as far as his
side is concerned.
Van Schaick's statement last
night was:
The supreme governing power
of the District of Columbia has
unanimously decided that the needs
of the school system should be in
vestigated. This fact should in

Made Matter Public.
But within a day or two after re-
ceiving this private and informal
advice as to the attitude of the old
er members OF the board, the super
intendent read the letter into the
record at one of the meetings of the
board and publicly notified the
board that he proposed to appeal
over their heads to the public and
open a campaign to compel his re-
appointment as superintendent of
schools.
"As the board is by law author

fecting the schools, and to appoint
as superintendent whomsoever in

toned legal functions.
Opposed Boards Policies.
Il felt in view of the situation
thus created that il was impossible
to continue Mr.. Thurston as super
intendent as there could not be any
further cooperation between him
and the board and as a result that
the interests of the schools and of
the children in the schools would
inevitably suffer.
II had personal knowledge of the
fact that the superintendent had
been openly opposing the policies
of the board in matters in which
decision was vested by law in the
board, and while 1 felt this was an
unfortunate situation 1t was not a
determining factor in my action in
voting against the reappointment of
the superintendent
However unfortunate it might
be that the superintendent was fol-
lowing the course of oposing the
policy of the board. 1 had still felt
that this was a matter that might
be ironed out and a better under
standing reached had not the su-
perintendent precipitated a situa-

superintendent became impossible.

tatives Of Trunk line railways to meet
him in conference here May 10Th to con
slider plans to stabilize the world grain
market after the termination of the Uni

Mr.. Barnes referred to the danger Of vi

the present situation was menacing not

structure Of the country and the resulting
probable agricultural decentralization.

London, May I4th. Nothing il yet
disclosed as TO the outcome OF the con
ference between Viscount French, Vice
roy of Ireland, and MIR. BOnar Law,
TIE Govt leader, and the cabinet coun-
Gil yesterday, on the new policy for Ire
land. 1t mad been hastily assumed that
Mr.. BOnar Laws very 0 -cOmmlttal
statement in the House of Commons
on Wednesday meant the adoption Of a
stronger policy, but there are many in
dications that it would be equally safe
to assume that the proposed change is
in the direction Of Cancellation. The
GoVts. concession Of an independent trl-
bunal Of Judges, whose names Mr.. BOnar
Law promised should o be published,
to investigate the circumstances OF
Irish prisoners detained without trial,
seems to point to this direction. More
over, the new Irish secretary yes
terday announced that since his appoint
ment he had signed no deportation or
ders and had released many prisoners
arrested on suspicion, among them AL
dermar Obrien, Secretary of the Trade
Union Congress. 1t is also worthy of
note that there has Of late been a sur
cease of nocturnal raids and less military
display in Dublin.
London, May l4th. Accepting at its
face value the claim that the Sim FEN
has been trying to prove by speech and
acts that an actual Irish republic is at
war with the British Empire, the Gov
eminent will abandon its present plan
for handling crimes on the island, To
this end al arms of the British army in
Ireland are being tremendously strength
ened. This applies especially to cavalry
and motor m~achine-gun units, AS soon
as the force there is adequate it will be
under the command Of Sir Neville Mae
Cready who will take over all police tunc-
tons. In fact it was said that southern
Ireland may then be placed under mar
tial law. This would be nothing more
or less than the Govt. troops would meet
rifle and revolver fire with macbine-guna
and possibly shrapnel.

ATTACK ON IRISH GOVERNORS
 MANSION FRUSTRATED

Dublin. Dec. aS--An officer of the guard and one member of q band of intruders were killed this morning in q shooting affray at Phoenix Park, d short distance from the Vice Regal Lodge, the official residence of Vis- count French, Lord Lieutenant of Ire land. The belief is expressed that an attack was in preparation against the lodge. Eight men made up the band and four arrests have been made The men were apparently intending to make an attack with the same despcr- ate abandon which marked the at tempted assassination of Lord French a few days ago and the view is general that q portion of the same band re- turned to attack the viscount.
