of the state not represented in any
other division of the state association,
and that the success of the first meet
ing had been largely due to the I'M
firing efforts, the zeal and enthusiasm
of President Deputy and Secretary
Miss Mabel Bonsall, and they hoped
to have the cooperation OF all the
members in making it success Tor
next year, and each year thereafter.
At the close of the address, in the
armory the visiting ladies were enter
tanned there, and the men adjourned
to the Civic and Commerce association
rooms, where a social hour was en-
loved and midnight luncheon served.
C. C. Baker of Grand Rapids acted
as POSTMASTER and number OF
toasts were given. There were about
thirty present at the social gather
ing.
Friday morning the school boards
met in the gymnasium Of the State
Teachers college. Although there were
only few members present, the meet
ing was very interesting. County Su-
perintendent j. C.. McGhee presided.
Miss Pagnhild Moe rendered very
fine piano solo. Addresses were given
by E. r. Critchett, secretary of the
teachers insurance and retirement
fund, and also of the State Teachers
Employment Bureau. He gave some
very interesting features of the work
ings of these two organizations, and
told how the teachers of the state
who were located this year by this
bureau had been saved $4,000 in
fees that would have been charged
if located by other teachers agencies.
He was followed by that sage of edu-
Gators, George F. Howard, who gave
the board members excellent advice.
The address of Commissioner j. r.
Mcconnell was not only one of in
struction that will nelp the school
board members with their problems
but it was also very humorous, and
brought forth many pcals of laugh
ter.
Those present voted to hold the
annual school officers meeting in
connection with the northern division
/ educational meeting, instead of hold
ing it in June or July, as previously
has been done.

Lenin says: LET the world make
money in Russia, as much as it wants.
We won't hinder it. All we want is
to secure for our population the n.y.
genie ration. This will be improved
gradually though the electrification
aid other measures which will be car
ricd out as quickly as possible. IN
the end, the Russian population will
benefit of the exploitation Of Russia
through foreign capital, anyhow"
The. question asked repeatedly:
What guarantees have the conces-
sionaires that the Soviet government
some day won't confiscate our capt.
tai? is answered by Soviet officials
with the statement that the Sovlets
have lived up to their promises.
Also; once foreign capital enters
Russia and starts to reconstruct Rus
STA transportation system, its fac
tories, mines, etc., Russia will be I'M
able to cut the ties without seriously
injuring herself. Besides, confiscatlon
would mean war. 1t is more than
doubtful whether Russia would be
foe lish enough to wager war against
the rest of the world.

~. FL. Anderson Attacks
N. Y. City Magistrates
Says sTannany Controlled JUS
tices sKnoU Their Masters
T0ice': Scores District Aft'yS

William II. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League. yes
terday attacked the request Of the
district attorneys of the five counties
il New York City for amendment OF
tl.s prohibition enforcement bill now
N the Legislature.
Mr.. Anderson said, in part:
"If the district attorneys of the five
counties within greater New York City
had made any serious attempt to carry
out the enforcement features of the
state law respecting the sale Of liquor
during the last year, as they were
sworn to do, they might be accepted as
experts on the operation of state pro-
hibition law.
They must know that if liquor cases
come first before the kind of magis-
trates who have been expressing their
contempt of the law itself when they
released prisoners charged with its
violation, there will not be much, even
for the Court of Special Sessions to
dc, and, obviously, if there are no con-
victions for the first and second Of
lenses, there will not be any third
Of. enses to be tried by juries.
"Juries are in the long run respon-
sive to public sentiment, but Tammany
controlled magistrates of the caliber
oi many now sitting in this city know
tlleir masters voice, and that master
is not the public"
In another portion of his statement
Mr. Anderson suggested that if the
district attorneys did their utmost to
obtain adequate sentences when con-
victions are had, instead of accepting
fines, they might not experience the
congestion in the courts that they fear.
Joab II. Banton, Chief Assistant Dis
trict Attorney here, replying. said in
part:
'For three years I have been review
ing the work of city magistrates in
the city Of New York, and must say
that the circular of Mr.. Anderson's is
gross libel on an honest, efficient,
rd-working set of public servants.
The magistrates of New York as a
whole would do credit to any bench.
aside from Mr.. Anderson's igno-
rance as to the duty of the District
Attorney on the question of sentence
there is little else to speak Of in his
circular.
''rhe District Attorney has nothing
to do with the sentence, and the judges
would justly resent any interference
by the District Attorney in their ex-
elusive prerogatve.

hoped little nearer. He felt very

that at the same time he was ready to
jump and run as only he can at the

For a long time Peter sat and
stared at that entrance and wished he

Mrs. Bear really had secret it was
somewhere inside there. Anyway,
that is what Old Granny Fox had

Assistant Here to Get

of Sacramental Liquor
Kramer II e a c Ii G $ City
Federal Dry Chief Learns Of
Details From Aids, Then
Gives Hearing to Accused

Henry NJ. Daugherty, United States
Attorney General, became interested
Yesterday in the question of the
legality of the seizure here on Monday
of 100000 in sacramental wines be-
longing to the Menorah Wine Com
pany, Of Ito Bowery, tho largest seiz-
urc of wines since prohibition. He
telephoned Assistant United States AT
torney Robert A. Peattie to get COM
plete facts to-day regarding the cir
cumstanccs under which the prohibi-
tion authorities made the confscation.
The Menorah company is a subsidiary
of the Garrett company, of Brooklyn,
which has been dealing in sacramental
wines for more than eighty years, and
the seizure of the liquors in the Bow
cry wholesale establishment and five
retail stores of the company created
one of the biggest stirs in prohibition
circles since the Volstead act went
into effect.
John Kramer, national commissioner
of prohibition, made special trip to
New York from Washington yesterday
for the purpose OF looking into the
seizures.
He presided at hearing attended
by Supervisor Langley and Director
O'Connor, at which the prohibition Off
Gals related the alleged violations re-
ported by their agents. The agents had
said that the stores were doing busi-
ness without permit and that they had
bought sacramental wines in all Of the
stores operated by the Menorah conn
pany without purchase permits, which
are required by law. The Commits
sioner then gave Paul Garrett, the
owner, and his counsel chance to pre-
sent their case.
The details of the hearing were not
giten out. and Commissioner Kramer
said that he would not make a decision
until he has had time to marshal all
Of the facts.
Giovanni Aquino. Inc, wholesale
liquor dealer at $50 University Avenue,
the Bronx, fled suit in the United
States District Court yesterday against
Supervisor Langley and seven of his
agents, who seized whisky and wine
valued at $4,000 from the dealer on
March 3 The complaint states that the
liquor was properly held under permit
and that its conhscation was in viola
ton of the national prohibition law.
