STATE LEGION PAPER IN SOUABBLE
 WITH EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Claim Made That Publica- ton is Defunct, But Ad- vertising is Still Being Sought.

Hartford, Aug. 10.-Avery V. Toohey. publisher of the Connecticut Legion News the official organ of the American Legion in this state is in- volved in controversy with the state executive committee of the Legion, a violation of contract on his part being charged.
 Legion officials claim that the mag azine ceased to exist with the publi- cation of the July issue, but that Toohey is still soliciting advertising matter for a convention number to be issued in September.
 The Connecticut Legion News be- came a defunct publication the Legion executive committee claims on July 30 when at a meeting of the state ex- ecutive committee held in New Haven it was voted to terminate the con- tract for publication with Avery " Toohey for violation of the existing contract on the grounds that he had not notified the proper persons as to it's contents; that in the etching and printing of the July issue the read ing matter was never submitted to the proper persons for sanction; that the publisher had not devoted enough of his time to make the publication high class one; and that there had never been any April, May or June is sues.
 As Toohey claims that the contract was never violated he is going ahead with his preparations for the Septem- Der issue.
 In the July issue of the News Avery V. Toohey is announced as the publisher and Thomas J. Bannigan as the editor. The matter is poorly set mp and the proof reading is faulty Several articles appear without any headings and according to Legion off, 1lals this shows evidence of inexcus- tble carelessness.

STRENUOUS DIRECTIONS 70
 500 MILLION DOLLARSM RELIEF OF X. X. DEVELOPS
MILAN IS CHILLED IN STATE INVESTIGATION New York Mayor Objects to Legislatures Inter-
 ference.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Mayor John F. today at the second public hearing of the legislative committee investigating his administration, attacked the state legislature for Legislation telling the people of New York city how to spend their money
 During his examination by the com mittee's counsel the mayor objected to legislation which had required an an- nual increase of thousands of dollars in the pay of New York city school teachers. He said, however, under re- lentless questioning, that he believed the increases proper. He declared he did not object to the figures of any body's wages, but do object to the wages being fixed at Albany by man. datory legislation.
 Elon R. Brown the committees coun- sel. asked the mayor if he regarded education as a state function. Some state authorities,'' replied MT. Hylan. have regarded it as state function in every possible way save paying the bills.''
 Later the mayor conceded that he supposed that education was regarded as state function in all other cities. '' At the opening of the hearing MT. Brown apologized to the committee for using the term blood money yester- day in reference to what the city paid for loans to meet it's pressing tempor- ary debts in 1914.
 While I had no thought that the action of the syndicate of New York hanks which foated the loan was an improper one. it would look so in print" he said.'
 The mayor in questioning that fol- lowed declined to give any definite an- swers to questions concerning the huge debts of the city and its tremendous expenditures. T think so'' was his usual reply. fS.
 'I presume the figures are correct. t. he said, when told that the debt had increased $53 ,OOO. .OO0.

MAY COMPEL TOWN TO BUILD SCHOOL State Law Likely to Be Invoked
 in Colchester 20 CHILDREN ARE AFFECTED
Since Last February, When Scboo1- house Burned, Store Had Been Used, But This Has Since Been
 Sold-E<lucati tion Dent Interested

Hartford, Aug. 10.-The power of the state to compel a town to pro- vide school facilities for all the chi1- dren in the town under chapter 390 of the statutes of 1921 may be in voked in the case of the town of Colchester where 20 children are without place to attend school as a result of the burning of the tenth district schoolhouse last February
 State Aid Sought.
 The children finished out the last school year in a vacant store but since June the store has been sold and will not be available this fall. The district, which has 8 grand list of only about $20,0OO and which is five or six miles from the center of the village petitioned the state board of education under the new law to see what could be done for the chil- dren this coming year. A committee from the state board consisting of Principal Charles l.. Ames of the Brown school, Charles l.. Torrey of Putnam and George R. Sturgess, the boards prosecuting agent, visited Colchester and talked the matter over with the selectmen of the town and with the district committee.
 No Action As Yet.
 MT. Ames said today that the committee did not find that the selectmen had refused to provide a school for the tenth district and said that no action had been taken by the board of education or would be taken until the submission of a plan by the selectmen. The question of transporting the children to another district in the village was gone over but as the distance is six miles to the nearest schoolhouse over bad road which is almost impossible in the winter season the plan was abap- doned. A portable school was also suggested and may be considered by the Colchester officials
 Marks New Departure.
 Although the state board commit tee found Colchester officials apparent ly willing to cooperate with the dis srfct in solving the problem and although the board has not actually exercised any form of compulsion, he very fact that a state board of education is empowered by law to require plan for school in local community marks a new departure in the educational administration of the state. The new law passed by ture makes it possible for the state board of education to withhold state funds from a town which resists it's decrees as to the provision of edu- cational facilities.

Senator Pomerene Char acternes Funding Pro- posl As AHandout'
 Loan, Says LaFonette
Director Davis Insists Its Purpose is to Let Public, Not Govt, Carry Big Loans.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Opposition to the administration bill for fund ing about s500.000.000 for the rail- roads developed openly today before the senate interstate commerce com mittee
 Senator La Toilette, republican. Wisconsin opened fire on the bill while democratic senators charac- terized the proposal as a loan to the railroads Senator Pomerene of Ohio referred to it as ''haudout".
 Meyer Defends Bill.
 Director Meyer of the war finance corporation defended the bill vigor- ously as measure for general coun- try-wide as we'll as railroad re- mobilization and denied that it was a. loan or a handout- He said he personally conceived the plan, with out suggestions from anybody. His plan he said was approved by Presi- dent Harding, Secretary. Mellon and Secretary Hoover.
 MT. Meyer said he had not attend ed any conference of bankers with the president and did not know the legislation had been discussed at such conference
 Denies Any Knowledge.
 Did you know that MT. Hoover was going to New York to confer with railway executives about it?" persisted Senator La Toilette. Mr. Meyer disclaimed such knowledge
 Senator La Toilette sought to show that the bill really would authorize the war finance corporation to fund. or sell, over one billion dollars of railroad securities rather than only $.00. .000, 0GD. MT. Meyer declared that the funding of the latter amount only was contemplated or could be reasonably accomplished. - 4'sa
 Money Already Advanced
 Director Davis of the railway ad- ministration said tc-$ of $1.144,0oo- eco had been advanced to carriers for additions and betterments to meet which the railroads had given $31o,- 00e.e00 in equipment trust notes and s7o,00o. 900 in cash leaving balance of s763. 100000 of which e1,ooo. 900 already has been funded privately. About $7o0, 900. 900 of the govern rnent advances, therefore, he said, have not been funded, but for var -ous reasons the bill would require funding of less than $5oo,ooo,00o.
 The. whole purpose of the funding bill, MT. Davis said. "'is to let the public instead of the government car ry these. loans"
