sustain the charge made last week by
other witnesses that the Interbcrough

signed as part of a scheme to force in

of Accounts, told of a meeting he at
tended at the Star Casino the night be-
fore the strike was ordered and at
which Patrick J. Connolly, president of
the Brotherhood OF Interborough EN-

fare Martowitz served eighteen months
overseas. was wounded and invalided
home. FIe quoted Connolly as having
said to the union gathering:
IF you vote for Curron he will boost
the fare and when we get ten cent fare
we will get our increase. We have Red

and we will have them all walking The
people are paying from twenty-five
cents to a dollar to get to The Bronx
and Brooklyn. We will get the ten cent

The witness quoted Connolly as ad-

New York herald Bureau
Albany, sept. 4.
Immediate action to provide money
tor the soldiers bonus was called for
BY the executive committee OF the Amer
lean Legion Of the state here to-day.
The committee adopted a resolution re-
questing the Legislature OF 1892 "to
enact the necessary legislation to assure
the immediate payment OF the State
bonus. in accordance with the expressed
mandate OF the people"
Members Of the committee expressed
strong opposition to proposal to amend
the Constitution to meet the objections
OF the Court OF Appeals and then raise
the money by bond issue. They de-
clared such procedure would take too
much time. since Constitutional amend
ment must be passed by two Legisla-
lures and then adopted by the people.
The State Soldiers Bonus Commission
to-day voted to go out Of existence on
September Is. The commission comprises
Ad1utant-Gen. J. Leslie Kincaid. At

Judge MuIqueen Explains.

Judge Joseph +. Mulqueen in General
Sessions interpreted yesterday his for
NAL charge to the regular and additional
September Grand Juries, delivered Tues
dayh. as meaning that he would frown
upon continued attempts by the police or
other enforcement agencies to obtain
convictions in liquor cases on evidence
obtained without recourse to search or
seizure warrants.
Il believe" Judge Mulqucen said. re-
ferring to alleged Illegal seizures by the
police and others. that this Is one good
that has come out Of the prohibition
law. | mean that the people have at
last been aroused to a state of indigna-
ton against such practices. All such
practices are inimical to the intent of
the law and breed contempt, rather than
respect for it,
The Anti-Saloon League, through d.
Rowland Munroe, counsel for the New
Jersey organization, issued a statement
denying that it sought TO circumvent or
violate the fourth amendment to the
Federal constitution by sponsoring un-
warranted seizures and search. He held
that the amendment provides against
only unreasonable" search and seizure.
He charged that the anti-prohibitionists
were endeavoring to create a false i'm
preston that the league was demanding
strict observance of the eighteenth
amendment while at the same time ap-
proving violations of the fourth.

The Board of Education recently
notified Stephen A. Graves. custodian
engineer of Public School No. ~, in The
Bronx. that he had been placed on the
retired list because he had reached the
age Of seventy years, but Graves refuses
10 be retired. He sent a communicat ton
to the Board, which was Rad at its
meeting yesterday. in which he declared
that he would not quit his post

Notice To Parents

Parents, we want you to look after
the daughters. Keep them in the
highest rank of society. 1t is my
work to help in the purity movement
Mothers, never let your daughter get
in a closed car with a drunkard or a
gambler for she can lose the good
name she is a life making. Impurity
is and always has been the greatest
enemy and most relentless foe of
mankind. 1t has brought more direct
loss to the world and more suffering
to human hearts than all others evils
combined. Is is time to lay aside the
conspiracy Of silence, and look after
the young ladies Many churches, col
leges and schools are entering heart
lily into this great work Young
ladies and teachers should help in this
great work. The girl that refuses to
keep company with a drunkard or
gambler is more brave than he who
races midst the battle the lannon's

ried isn't all there is to life, especial
ly to a man that is rotten in sin Wo-

IN MEMORY

On Saturday evening, March IL,
1921, the DEATH angel visited the home
Of Joe Grisham and touched the heart
of his beloved son, Fred, with its cold
fingers and carried him home to live
with Jesus and his angel mother, who
preceded him to the promised land
about 7 years ago. Fred answered
the call of his country in the first
registration but his health gave down
while in camp and he came home. He
was about &c years of age. He is
survived by his father, brothers,
one sister and a host of relatives to
mourn his going away. Fred was af-
f1icted with that dread disease, tuber-
culosis. He bore his suffering with
christian fortitude. Fred was kind
and always ready to lend q helping
hand. | can see him now as he walks
the streets of pure gold that | so long
to walk. Fred told US in his last
words that he was going home. /
would say to his loved ones and friends
to mourn not for Fred is at rest, but
prepare to meet him in the sweet bye
and bye and some day be a united
family in heaven. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. ]. r. Clayton
in the presence of a large crowd of
sorrowing relatives and friends and
the remains were laid to rest in the
Mt. Zion cemetery to await the resur-
rection morning.
Fred is gone but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts that ever linger
Around the grave where he is laid.

Rural Academy

Three years ago when this little
school was visited by the superinten-
dent only six children were in attend
ance. They did not all get in till nine
or ten in the morning. This of course
caused the school to have to quit.
After it had been closed for almost
year the patrons decided that they
wanted school, held meeting, and
agreed to send their children to school.
The result has been that we have a
splendid little school. Last month it
had an enrollmnt of twenty-five, an
average daily attendance of twenty
three, with five grades.
The school has been seated with
new desks, and it is hoped that soon
new building viii be provided for

the school. Miss Katherine Neal is
the teacher.
RETARDATION
In the county schools of Tennessee
the enrolment is as follows: first
grade, 142, 404, second grade, 67.272.
third grade, 59,542, fourth grade, 3d.
748, fifth grade, 46,978. This grad
ualfy decreases towards the higher
grades till in the eighth grade only
about nineteen thousand are enrolled.
The tremendous loss between the
first and second grades and the de-
crease IN others is due to irregularity
in attendance, short terms. In the
fourth year high school only 1913 were
enrolled.
According to the United States
Army statistics large per cent of the
men recruited for the war was not
educated beyond the first grades. In
one leading county 26OO out of the
2900 men had not passed beyond the
third grade. In another 20 per cent
of the soldiers could not read, while in
another % per cent could neither read
nor write.
Tennessee is the fifth from the bot
tom of all the states in its educational
standing. Only four states have poor
er schools than Tennessee. But that
isn't very discouraging. There are
only forty-three above it

What Others ArelDoing

California has lately adopted an
amendment to its constitution fixing
the minimum prorata for each child of
school age at ninety dollars. Ten
nessee averages thirteen dollars per
capita.
Lbanon has lately been threshing
out a great deal of old straw in its
school situation. 1t seems that two
factions have fallen out over the mat
ter and are having very stormy
time. All politicians are not school
people. Self designing men should not
use the schools for a political football.
They belong to the children.
In some of the counties of the state
the teaching body quit at the middle
of the term to go south where they
could do better. One of these writing
home said that pay day reminded him
very much of attending Jackson
County meeting, all from Jackson
County Query: Can Jackson County
afford this?

very small margin, the vote being III
against it with 90 voting for it.
Many who voted did not understand
the proposition, not having attended
any of the meetings held in its inter
est. Some gave very amusing reasons
for opposing it. ''Some of the grown
up boys did not work" 81 need my
boy at home" Eight grades are
enough" II don't want the school
house moved off the hill.' ''The road
commissioners will get the money and
use it to run the roads at the wrong
places" Il can't stand the awful bur-
den" The last one would have paid
less than one dollar more of taxes.
But it is easy to find excuses if one
is opposed to good thing 1t is sus-
pected by many that the last excuse
prompted many to oppose it. One of
these influenced the negro, vote and
others.
The town stood up well, only a few
opposed it. The big vote against it
came from near DeKalb and Wilson
counties.
The school people of the district are
not in the least discouraged. They
know that some way can be devised
to support their schools. The school
has been better patronized than for
several years.

Why Some Schools Are Better Than
Others
Among the more ignorant class of
people an idea prevails that to some
