NOT DRIVE FOR MONEY
Miss Morgan Says Visits Were
to BE of an Educational
Nature.

The Board Of Education refused last
night to allow a committee of the Amer
lean Committee for Devastated France.
headed by Miss Anne Morgan and Miss
Elisabeth Marbury, to solicit funds for
French war orphans through the public
schools. Members of the Board declared
the schools and the school children have
been subjected 10 too many drives In
recent months.
Miss Morgan told the Board it was the
committees desire to get away from the
drive idea, and that what the committee
purposed doing was not a drive. She
said the committee intended merely to
show motion pictures depicting the re-
distribute through the school children
large number of coin holders in the
form of Christmas stockings.
we do not intend to ask the children
for money" she said, but it is hoped to
interest through them a great many
who would wish to respond to such an
appeal"
One of the principal objectors to the
scheme was DIR. William j. O'Shea.
Associate Superintendent OF Schools, who
did not accept Miss Morgan's explana-
ton that the campaign was not a
drive. He suggested she handle the
scheme through the Red Cross. but she
replied the Red Cross would give no
consideration to any scheme for for
eign country. having withdrawn from
France. At the suggestion Of Aiming
S. Prall, president of the board, Miss
Morgan said she would have a further
talk with DR.. O'Shea.
The board appointed a committee of
three. headed by George J. Ryan. to
investigate recent criticisms of the pub
lie school system made by DR.. John
B. Tildsley. who was quoted as hav-
ing said that conditions in the schools
are terrible, that anarchy Is in full
sway and that the system has broken
down under an era of gross misman-
agement and perhaps worse.

wife. Col. William Hayward, United
States Attorney. did not oppose the mo-
tion for a postponement In the case OF
Alexander. but opposed similar one
made in behalf of Herman Petri.
After sentence had been passed Carl
Z. Whitney of counsel for the defendants
asked for a stay of execution until Tues
day to give the defendants time to ar
range their business affairs. Col. Hay
ward did not oppose this request. which
was granted by Judge Van Fleet.

warming to Other Groups.

In raising sentence Judge Van Fleet
characterized as vicious the system OF
stop notices" by which Samuel INTER-
myer, counsel to the Lockwood commit
tee. showed the tile mems organization
could and did exercise a boycott against
any particular dealer or contractor r.
wished to exclude. He said thae system
left the builder. at the mercy of the
dealer in tiles and condemned other
practices of the organization such as the
blacklisting Of firms and the operation
Of what he declared virtually a.iounteS'
TO a collection agency, all outside the
forms Of law.
Judge Van Fleet warned other defend
ants to similar indictments. such as the
terra Gotta group which goes to trial on
Friday that convictions following pleas
OF mot guilty will call for much heay-
ier sentences than he imposed yesterday.
In addition 70 the defendants named
above who received jail sentences, Judge
Van Fleet imposed the following fines
upon corporations and individuals.
