 The session of the coroner's jury all during today at Nettleton has been largely attended. Four or five hundred people congregated to learn of developments in : the sensational case. Excitement, it is said, was renewed as result of the work of the jury today.

The inquisitorial body in session today, according to long distance telephone message to the Press this afternoon, recommended the arrests of Asberry Webb, of Caraway, Joe Johnson, of Truman. Mrs. George Harrison, of Lake City, and Pat Ryan, foreman of construction gang employed on bridge neal Nettleton. Mrs. Harrison and Ryan were each placed under a $2,000 bond for their appearance at the adjourned session of the Craighead county grand jury at Jonesboro next Monday. The bond of the Harrison woman was increased from $l,O00 to $2,O0O, so discriminating was the evidence against her at today's ses- sion of the coroner's jury. She proved taetful witness, it is said. She is the woman who was ill, tele- phone conversation with Mrs. Curry Thursday afternoon before the latter boarded the train here Friday morn ing upon the journey that led to the tragic death of she and her 13 year old daughter. The Harri- son woman was phoning from her home in Lake City, asking the Cur ny woman to go to Webb's Mlll.to accept a position as cook.
 Joe Johnson, the man from Tru- man, was sweetheart of the Curry woman, according to testimony that was introduced at the coroner's session today. It is claimed that the Curry woman was wearing his ring at the time or prior to hel tragic death. It is stated that John son had prevailed upon Asberry Webb, a citizen of Caraway-alsc under a $2,0O0 bond in the case to procure the ring from Mrs. Cur Try. It appears that this connection of the two men with the life o1 Mrs. Curry together with their re ported appearance at .Webb's Mil Sunday, July IT, resulted in theil arrest and being placed under z bond of two thousand dollars each ! Just what the evidence was tha' is associating the name of Pat Ryan the foreman of the bridge con
 struction crew, with the case, is no
 known. All the information being
 unfolded at the inquest IS no' being made public.
 It is intimated, according to a re port, that it was Ryan who claim to have seen the two men come ou
 of the woods from the direction il which the Curry woman and he
 daughter were slaughtered. However this report lacks confirmation.
 Curry, the husband of the mur
 dered woman, is yet in the Jones
 boro jail. The witnesses summone' from Caraway to establish his ali lbi were not permitted to testif
 lat today's session of the coroner inquest. The grand jury of tn ladjourned term of court convenin
 lat Jonesboro next Monday will talk

A Postohce Blemish
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune Of June
read that Robert C. Mayer caused the
arrest of a mail collector and the
driver of mail wagon on the charge
Of driving horse that was lame. I
want to add my protest to that of Mr..
Mayer The employment of half-fed,
old, ill-kept and lame horses is one
of the most fragrant abuses of the
Postoffice Department. 1t is not a
local practice in New York City alone,
nor is it q recent development. What
system obtains in New York City do
not know, but l do know that in rural
districts the mail route is knocked
down to the lowest bidder, who gem
orally uses the cheapest horse or the
cheapest motor car he can fnd-usual-
ly horse in winter and an automobile
in summer. Quite contrast TO the
smart, well-kept horses and good
motors used for the Royal Mail in
London and throughout England!
A crippled horse cripples the serv-
ice. The public suffers along with the
animal. If New York doesn't care
about the inhumanity to the horse it
may care enough to protest against
the inefficient service.

Music by Radio
Wireless Concerts Highly Commend.
ed-Amatcurs Tuning In"

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1 find myself somewhat dis
turbed by the article in your issue Of
June 6, under the heading "Fearfal
Music Flashed to Soldiers by Radio"
for it strikes me that this doubtless
accurate report of highly unsstisfae-
tory radio telcphonic transmission may
give your readers a false perspective.
If the Ship Owners Radio Service
transmitter, located at Woedside, L. l.
was not properly designed or adjusted,
or if the receiver at the Polytechnic
Hospital was OF the highly selectlvs
amplifying type which has tecome So
common in the practice of r4dio teleg-
raphy, it is not surprising that DIFF
fculty was encountered in the trans.
mission of speech and music by wire
less.
On the other hand, clear and SC
curate radio telephony is (and has been
for many years. matter not difficult
of attainment. For the last six months
or more an electric company has been
transmitting concerts, news dispatches,
lectures, and even sermons, broadcast
from its radio central station at East
Pittsburgh, Pa. Thousands Of un-
skilled devotees Of radio have been re-
ceiving these telephonic reports daily,
over distances varying from few
miles to many hundreds of miles, and
in clarity and perfection of articuls-
tion the radio speech and music have
rivaled or surpassed the best perform.
ances Of the line wire telephone.
This is not an isolated performance.
Another company has been sending
radio concerts bi-weekly from one Of
It's local stations, much to the enjoy
ment of owners of radio receivers In
zone extending a good many miles
from New York City. A number Of
skilled amateurs in New York and New
Jersey also own and use good radio
telephone transmitters, and quite fire.

ceiving apparatus and tune in" any
one of two or three radio telephones
which are operating simultaneously.

EYylanized Schools

Among tho loudest promises of
Mayor Hylan when engaged in play
ing the confidence game that Gle
waited him was pledge to do great
things for the schools.
The Public Education Association,
which has made careful survey,
furnishes facts enabling the city to
check performance against pledge.
Nothing much is revealed which
those familiar with school affairs did
not already know, but there is COM
pleteness about the details and find
ings coldly and impartially set forth
which makes them impressive.
The school system has largely
broken down. There are general in
efficiency, gross overcrowding, a col
lapse of teaching morale, and rich
New York furnishes it's children to-
day poorer instruction than any
other considerable American city.
Tho number OF part-time pupils is
now 26S,O00. 1t is necessary in
many instances to conduct two
classes in the same room. There are
noise and confusion. Self-sacrifcing
teachers vainly struggle to carry on
their work in a proper manner. Our
greatest humanizing, migrating,
stimulating agency has fallen ineo
wreck. To put an ignoramus in a
place Of great responsibility is a
costly thing.
In many city departments there is
corruption. This is not charged
against the professional school man
agement, but there are worse evils
than corruption, and the school sys-
tenn in its present condition shows
one Of them.

Why -Tenements Are Scarce

Why enemcnts Are Scarce
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nathan L. Ottinger, writing
on the dearth Of tenements, does not
put the blame where it belongs. The
new rent laws have very little to do
with the scarcity of new tenements,
as the law does not restrict the first
rents of new building. The trouble
Is that ninety times out of one hundred
tenement is pure investment propo-
sition to be considered over long term
of years as to amortization and return
on invested capital.
The buyer of new and well paying
tenement might in few years be un-
able to compete in rents with identical
Buildings built much cheaper than his
own in the mean time. The great risk
OF cheap building boom with fall
in rents and depreciation of capital is
the main reason for so little money
going at present into tenements. The
speculator in tenements, about 10 per
cent of all buyers, is the only one
seriously hurt by the rent laws.

A Statute Overruled

There are sharp teeth in the stat
ute against obstructing the passage
of Uncle Sans mail, but it is good to
know that they won't bite one who
breaks the letter Of the law in doing
a good deed.
Robert C. Mayer, banker-and
some folks think that bankers
haven't hearts-fractured the stat
ute by taking out of harness poor
old lame mail horse and was brought
TO answer for his interference
before United States Commissioner
Hitchcock. Mr.. Mayer faced the
possibility Of term in Jail. The
punishment he received was hearty
congratulation from the Commits
sioner for his humane act.
A horse, as described by Henry
Ford, is only "a clumsy hay motor
of one horsepower" yet he has a
right to decent treatment which
drivers are bound to respect, even
though they are in the important
business of delivering the Federal
mail.

Milk Week

There's something better even
than the cup that cheers but not in
ebriates. It's the glass of milk that
nourishes.
If New York is doing what DR..
Copeland and all other physicians
prescribe, its throat is gurgling this
week with countless gallons of the
best all-round beverage known to
man. It's the fourth day of Milk
Week. Are you consuming your
allotted quart? Are you mindful
of the civic good, duly storing up
energy?
Milk is the most necessary food.
AS Commissioner Copeland well
says, it is the first food a family
should buy and the last to be dis
pensed with. 1t is a whole diet in
itself. From the lack of it thou
sands of babies and older children
are undernourished, struggling un-
der an almost fatal handicap.
There are few families whose
poverty is so bitter that milk cannot
be provided, yet in spite Of educa-
tlonal campaigns and the admirable
service of philanthropists in supply
ing 1T below cost there is milk i'm
poverishment in many parts of the
city. If Milk Week brings home to
parents, "uneducated" and other

Doctor Gait

Two Western universities will
award the degree of Doctor Of Laws
to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait dur
ing their commencement ceremonies
this month. Wyoming University,
of the state which has had equal
suffrage always, and the University
of Iowa, of the state which gave
Mrs. Gait to the nation, are the two
institutions honoring themselves
and Mrs. Gait. 1t might we'll be
asked why so obvious a proceeding
had been SO long deferred, consider
ing the conspicuous intellectual at
tainments Of the foremost suffrage
leader. But her career was bound
up in a political cause, and colleges
and universities don't want to seem
to take sides. The appropriate
time to honor the leader is when the
cause has triumphed, and Mrs.
Catt's degrees will be not oMly a
tribute to personal worth but a
celebration of the conclusion of the
half century of suffrage pleading on
the part of American women.
Wyoming, the state which first lis
tened to the women's demands, and
Iowa, the state which boasts Mrs.
Gait as it's own daughter, ara the
fitting places for such a celebration.
The incident calls attention, how
ever, to fact which in the heat of
the suffrage controversy received
scant attention, namely, that prac-
tically all Of its leaders were women
Of high intellectual attainment. 1t
was more effective, Of course, for
it's opponents to call attention to
the cropped hair and the strident
voice than to the Phi Beta Kappa
key. Nothing different could have
been expected, yet Anna Howard
Shaw, living on crackers and water
in dingy rooming house while she
studied for her degree at Boston
University, is an example Of sheer
grit and ability which deserved bet
ter than ridicule.
The suffrage movement was pre-
ceded by the struggle Of women for
higher education, and it ended only
when proportionate mass Of the
feminine population had secured it;
yet the vote in itself is an insig-
nifcant trife compared with the
whole world of woman's opportunity
Of which it is the symbol.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-09

wise, the vital need of n milk diet to
strengthen bodies and to prevent
disease, particularly tuberculosis,
this will have been a red letter week
indeed.
1t is blessing that milk in pro-
portion to ats nutritive value is one
of the least expensive of foods--is
the cheapest protein food. The peo-
pie suspect that both the farmers
and the milk distributors are goug-
ing them. However that may be
milk is still reasonably cheap, com
pared with meat, and for the sake
of the national health it must stay
cheap
