Curran Ready
TO End Hylan
School Evils
Mayors Silence ON Proved
Charge of Neglected Edu-
cation in City Denounced
by CG<lition Candidate
Remedy Told to Voters
Program Calls for Building,
End of Political Meddling,
Decent Pay for Teachers

Speaking before the Marquette Club
at the Commodore Hotel, and at other
meetings in Manhattan last night,
Henry H. Curran, coalition candidate
for Mayor, renewed his attack on
Mayor Hylan for his failure to remedy
the deplorable conditions in the public
schools. Mr.. Curran announced specific
school program, which he would pursue
if elected Mayor, to correct the present
evils, due to the Hylan administration.
| "When I am elected Mayor" said the
coalition candidate, "our school chill
dren will be my first consideration.
Here is my school program:
II AN going to build schools.
+ Il am going ahead with repairs to
existing buildings.
"To the full extent of my power I
will take the schools out Of politics.
"I will fight for the preservation of
the decent salary standards of the
Lockwood Donohue law for teachers.
81 will push forward my plan for
financial independence of the Board of
Education
Hylan Fails to Answer
The coalition candidate declared that
although he had repeatedly charged
Mayor Hylan with having broken his
promise to provide "a seat for every
child" in the schools, and Of gross
dereliction Of duty in respect to the
schools, the Mayor had not denied any
of the facts presented. He referred to
the Mayor as "Hearst's Man Friday in
the City Hail." and said that Hearst
had also failed to deny the charges,
although, feeling his responsibility for
his tools conduct, he has conducted a
; lying campaign of SANDER and mud
singing to becloud this vital issue"
between them, had put politics into
the schools, and that he would change
this when he became Mayor, and see
that the principals, teachers and other
civil service employees suffered no in
terrence in their duties regardless Of
how they voted.
Explaining his plan to make the
Board of Education financially inde-
pendent, he said it provided, briefly:
"That the Board Of Education be per-
mitted to prepare it's own budget, with
only this restriction, that its expendi-
lures be kept within maximum set
by statute. This budget should be sub
mitted to the Board of Estimate, which
would have the power of veto. By a
two-thirds vote, however, the Board Of
Education should be permitted to over
ride this veto"
Mr.. Curran said that this plan did
not mean a single extra dollar of in
creased taxes and that it did mean
that within certain limits the Board Of
Education could take care of school
needs, including its interest and sink
ing fund charges, without politics COM
ing in at all.
Broken Promises Barred
The Curran speech follows:
"When / opened this campaign /
took up the promises that Hylan, the
Hearst Man-Friday in the City Hall,
made four years ago. | proved that he
broke those promises, every one OF
them. Hylan promised he would see
that equal opportunities for education
were given to our children and our
schildren's children don't know.

Sporting Notes
POLO MATCHES
 ABR0ADCAUSE
 ENINTEREST

LONDON, May 27 (by Associated Press) Interest quickens daily in the approaching polo matches ill June at Birmingham between England and America for the International Polo Sap.
 Discussion which has reached a lively stage is devided between spec ulation as to the playing powers of the American and the personnel of the British team which has not yet been chosen.
 There appeares to be disposition to regard the team from the United States as very formidable and likely to re-enact the striking American vic, tory of 1909. The English who have held the cup since 1914 the year of the last event;are making careful pre- parations to strengthen their polo for. ces in order to retain the trophy which has rested on this side of the Atlantic for more than half tke time since the contest was initiated 35 years ago.

 restoring to entry a vast acreage of
 land withdrawn by the government

 The most recent work of the board
 has been an investigation of the feas
 lbllity of establishing coaling stations I in the Aleutian islands.

Who will be The first superintendent
of roads under. the new law? That is
a question that is engaging a good
deal of attention and the presence
here Monday of Frank A. Butler, for
mer superintendent under the old sys-
TEN, gave rise to the report that he
would be entered as a candidate by his
friends before the April session of the
court. 1t is said that Mr.. Butler,
while not an active candidate, would
accept the place il the court fixes the
compensation at figure where he
feels that he would be justified in so
doing
There are a number of the members
Of the court who hold Mr.. Butler in
very high esteem and believe that he
would be better qualified than any 9th
err engineer by reason of his long ex-
perience with the roads of the county
and his familiarity with conditions
here. On the other hand there are
several justices who think highly of
the work and qualifications of the
present superintendent, F. Burke
Wilkes, and who are advocating his re.
tention by the county court. Although
he has had little opportunity to show
what he can do Mr.. Wilkes has made
decidedly favorable impression on the
public since he first took charge of
the roads.
9 1t is argued in behalf of Mr.. Wilkes
that he could be obtained for a. very
much less salary than the county
could secure the services OF gradu-
ate civil engineer and that for all
practical purposes he would be just
as satisfactory. On the other hand it
is insisted that he could not qualify
under the provisions of the act, but
this is answered by the contention
that the county court is In fact made
the judge of the qualifications and if
the court elects no one will challenge
its action.

There will be complete farm sur
vey made of the Woodrow community
in the eighth district Decision to
make this survey was reached at the
meeting of the community organiza-
ton there on Friday night. The COM
mittee to make the survey is compos-
ed of Joe Frank Porter, Mrs. EARLY
Moore and Prof. A. E. Mclean, the
county agent. Prof. Burcham, prin-
cipal of the school, will cooperate
with the committee in making the
survey.
This survey will ascertain the num-
Der of owners and tenants on the
farms of the community; the number
of farmers who have purebred live
stock and the kind, the number of
stock, the character of farming, the
acreage of the various crops. The sur
vey will also ascertain the number
of farmers who have labor saving de-
vices and home conyeniences. 1t will
be the first survey of the kind made
N The county and it is expected that
other community organizations will
follow suit.
There was large attendance at
the meeting of the organization and
addresses were made by President
Joe Frank Porter, District Agent Jas.
M. Dean and County Agent Mclean.
Mr.. Dean gave the club full resume,
or outline of the work that should be
done by community organization,
and farm problems were discussed by
Porter and Mclean.

telegraphic correspondence from that
section, and the difference In time, this
has proved difficult undertaking, but
1t was believed that something more
definite will be received before night.
Mr. Alexander was member Of one
of the most prominent families of the
county, He married a sister of the
Rev. w. A. Provine, of Nashville, one
of the leading. ministers of the Pres
byterian church, u. S. A. He was
brother-in.law of former State Senator
w. b. Greenlaw.
Mr. Alexander was about fifty-three
years of age, and is survived by his
wife and two children, one boy, Henry
r., Jr., and one daughter, Evelyn,
three brothers, Clarence, Eugene and
Will Alexander, and by one sister,
Miss Carrie Alexander; also by his
aged mother, Mrs. Frank Alexander.
Mr.. Alexander was devout and con-
sistent member OF the Garden street
Presbyterian church, and had long
been active in affairs of his county
and state, always standing firm upon
what he believed to be right.
1t is regarded as certainty that
Mr. AleXander's queer departure from
home and his actions thereafter were
those of a man mentally unbalanced.
1t is certain that his losses on either
cattle or phosphate land were not just
cause for his action, for he was man
of considerable property, owning
much valuable farm land in this coun-
ty and other property.
1t had been known for several days
by the general public that Mr.. AleXan-
der had disappeared from home, but
his return was almost momentariy
expected by his friends and relatives,
and no mention of the fact was made
through the press, and the news re-
ceived from the Arizona town last
night spread like wildfire here and
was largely the topic of conversation.
