Effort Made to Belittle Charges
and Relieve Hylan Ad-
miniStration of Blame.

The Hylan Administrations reply
to the charges of neglect of the
schools is out. In the form of a letter
from Aiming S. Prall, President of
the Board of Education, to Mrs. Rog-
ers H. Bacon, Chairman of the Plan
and Programme Committee of the
group of civic organizations which
made a survey of forty schools picked
at random, the reply is at once an ex-
cuse, a denial of the charges, a de-
llberate attack upon the Mitchell Ad-
ministration and a glorification of the
present regime of Hylan.
AS forecast in The Evening World
a week ago, the report in general de-
nies or belittlcs the charges made in
the civic survey But unfortunately
jected the survey into politics, an
analysis of the report shows vir-
tually every charge made in the sur
vey to be correct.

in his reply to Mrs. Bacon, he had nc
special investigators to go over the
ground in the survey, but was com

Past Two Months
Associated Press Dispatchl.

ASSOCIATED Press DiSpatch1.
Minneapolis, May 3.-Devoting two
days each week for almost the past
four months for hearing default d.
vorce cases in district court here has
cleared the calendar to such an ex-
tent that beginning this month, d.
vorce actions took their regular place
on the calendar, members of the
Hennepfn county bench>announced.
default cases on the calendar with a
steady increase piling up each week.
Members Of the bench, especially
Judge H. D. Dickinson, senior jurist
of the district court, characterized
Minneapolis as "veritable Reno"
and the increasing number Of separa-
ton actions filed became the topic
among societies and organizations.
To alleviate the condition, 1t was
decided to give two days each week
entirely for the hearing of the cases.
The average number OF new cases
started was about thirty a week, but
when the separation suits were heard
two days each week an average of
sixty or more cases were disposed Of.
In this manner, the heavily congested
calendar was reduced from 1.240 to
412 cases. A total of 528 divorce
cases were heard. Four hundred de-
crees were granted. and the remand
er were either stricken out or dis
missed.
Speeding up of the hearings and
the granting Of the DEGREES did not
affect the general situation in the
least, according to the district court
clerk The same average thirty cases
a week are being filed, he said.
