NEITHER SIDE WINS
IN CABLE DISPUTE
Decision Against Miami Land
ing Injunction Fails to
Change Situation.

Under an opinion handed down yester-
day by Judge Augustus \. Hand in the
United States District Court. the United
states Government suffered an apparent
defeat In its effort TO prevent the West
ern Union Telegraph Company from
landing cable between Miami and
Miami Beach. Fla. Judge Hand denied
the Governments plea for an Injunction
against landing the cable. but the de-
cision leaves the controversy between
the Government and the cable company
exactly where It was when Secretary
Daniels and the Navy Department took
steps against the company last Novem-
ber.
At that Time, when the Western Union
sought to complete Its cable work within
the three mile limit, Secretary Daniels
announced that the Government would
not permit the landing because Il was
against Government policy 70 permit an
American line to be linked with a
foreign line, contending that the West
ern Unions real object was to effect a
link with British line to South Amer
lea. The Western Union maintained
that II was merely seeking to replace an
existing cable that had been In orera-
ton since 1899, that permission TO con-
struct the cable had been granted by the
Secretary of War under acts of Con-
gress Of 1866 and 1899. and that the line
was subjected to detour In 1917 to per-
init dredging In Miami Bay.
The company applied to thc United
states District Court OF the District OF
Columbia to restrain the Government
from Interfering with It's cable laying
and the Government applied to the
United states District Court here for an
Injunction forblddng the company to
continue the work. II was the latter
proceeding that was decided yesterday.
but the opinion on the company's appll-
cation has not yet been handed down by
Judge Stafford in the District of Colum-
bla, so the controversy remains where
1t was.

of American seamen from the American
Merchant Marine. I'VE don't like to
contemplate the results that will in
evitably come from any such action" he
said. '1f the shipowneTs want to drive
the 81 per cent OF the total number of
seamen in the American Merchant
Marine who are native born back on
shore and thus arrange to turn the yes
sells over to Norway, England and Japan,
we seamen cannot help it."
Mr.. Furusoth said the hope of the sea-
men Is that the shpowners will recon-
slider their action when they have con-
suited with the new Shipping Board to
be appointed by the incoming Admin
istration.

School Crisis
Unprecedented Enrolment
for This Fall Will Tax
Neglected Facilities of
Hylan Rule to Utmost
Little Relief Is i'm Sight
New Buildings Will Barely
Care for Increase and
Classes Will Be TANNED

The alarming situation facing The
public schools of this city because Of
the Indifference and neglect of the Hy-
Ian administration is further compli-
Gated by the unprecedent enrolment of
new pupils for the coming fall term.
This increase is so enormous that there
Is every possibility that more than a
thousand new teachers will have to be
employed to take care of the new
glasses.
Never before in the history Of the
Board of Education have elementary
classes been so crowded. This is large
IL due to the failure of the Hylan ad-
hninistration to erect new buildings
during its three and a half years of
Office Even the few schools that will
be opened this fall for the first time
will barely meet the excess in registra
lion. Including the special classes for
mentally deficient, deaf and other un-
fortunate children who necessarily
must be taught in very small numbers.
the average class in the elementary
schools now stands at forty-three
bupils. Many classes are so crowded
that more than fifty-fve pupils are in
them.
According to the present indications
before the budget committee of the
Board of Education there will be an in
crease of 10000 school children receiv-

term commences.
High Schools Also Crowded

Jug elementary education when the fall
term commences.
High Schools Also Crowded
This condition also applies to the
high. schools, whore an unprecedented
number of new pupils are seeking edu-
sation. 1t is estimated that more than
sS,ooo pupils will be receiving instruc-
ton IN the high schools next term.
Practically all the high schools will be
on double time for the first time in
their history. There is little relief in
sight, as it will take two years to build
new high schools, and by that time the
new schools will be inadequate to care
for the added increase.
AIMING 8: Prall, president of the
Board Of Education, has placed the
seal of silence on all officials of the
board. and consequently none can talk
for. publication. Yesterday one of the
higher officials stated that the schools
would never be out of their difficulty
as a result of the Hylan administration
unless they were completely removed
from politics.
He advanced the proposal that the
members of the Board of Education in
stead OF being appointed by the admin
lstration in power should be elected by
the people Of the city on non-political
basis; in other words, that the names of
candidates be placed on the tickets of
all political parties, and the citizens
vote for them on their merits. He also
proposed that the board so elected
should have the power to override the
veto of the Board of Estimate on finan-
cial matters with specified majority.
for example two-thirds.
Women Reply to Prall
By this he meant that if anv item on
the budget of the Board of Education
was refused by the Board of Estimate.
and referred back to the Board of
Education for revision, the latter could
reinstate the item by a two thirds
vote, and the Board of Estimate would
then be compelled to pass the amount
This. of course, would necessitate
legislation, but the schools can be
taken out of politics only by means of
such legislation, he contends.
1t was announced yesterday that Mrs.
Rogers H. Bacon, chairman of the
Committee of Plan and Program, repre-
senting nine women's civic organiza-
tons, would reply to the criticisms
of President Prall to-day. Mrs. Bacon's
committee investigated forty schools.
and it was this report which revealed
the terrible conditions into which the
schools had been permitted to degenerate

Phone Calls Unexplained
The Sheriff said he could not see how
these numerous calls to a man known
to be hostile to Hemming fitted in with
Mrs. Hemming's historical warning ITO
her husband not to visit Duck Island
lest Eberhardt shoot him.
Three of the telephone calls were
made from the home of Mr. Hemming's
son, John, $40 West Eighty-sixth
Street, to which Mr.. and Mrs. Hem
station prior to their departure for
Duck Island. According to the state
ments of witnesses, Mrs. Hemming on
each occasion merely told Eberhardt
that she and her husband were coming
to Duck Island, though at her third cali
she asked to have her daughter Helen
put on the wire and told her that she

:, The fourth call, concerning which
snere is some dispute, is said to have
peen made from roadhouse in Cen
tterport, where Mrs. Hemmng stopped
TOR few minutes while she and her
husband were on their way to Duck
Island by motor.
Mrs. Hemming's daughter testified
at the inquest Friday as to this call.
Her information concerning it, how
ever, came only from i.berhardt. He
told her. the girl said, THAT Mrs. Hem
ming lad warned him that her husband
was coming to Duck Island and under
no circumstances must ne be permitted
to enter the house.
Mrs. Hemming herself denied having
made this call, The chauffeur u,ho

that Mrs. Hemming left the car for
about ten minutes when they stopped
at the Csnterport roadhouse, but did
not know whether she had used the
telephone there or not.

wife still on his arm.

Eberhardt cried at this advance, draw

Those were his last words. AS he
imuttered them Eberhardt fired. The
bullet struck Mr.. Hemming in the abb

warned away by the caretaker. who
tolc him to "Get out Of here quick"

Climbed to his seat in the automobile
he saw Eberhardt fire again, the bullet
