AS has often been said in the coll
umns OF this newspaper. the wealth
of any country is measured by the in
telligence of its people. Where the
children are neglected in education
and training, the men and women of
tomorrow will be lacking in the ma
ny things incident to the successful
administration Of the social and bus
mess affairs which Eventually pre-
sent themselves. Upon the public
schools rests the responsibility Of
child training in Tennessee, and the
County Courts of the State are sole
~ responsible for the success or
failure Of this important task. At
it's regular session in January, the
Granger County Court will make q
tax levy for the coming year. In
in this will be an appropri.
alton for schools. Win the court 90
forward or backward? Will it give
the boys and girls o square deal?
Not going forward refusing to in
crease the school levy will denote q
backward step. 1t will show that
che authorities do not favor a square
deal for those upon whom rests the
destiny of the country in the future.

Conferees Cut
90 Million Off
Navy Bill Raise
Senators Agree ON Condition
Disarmament Resolution
of Borah Goes Back to
House for Direct Vote
Fight ON Floor Forecast
Personnel of Fleet Under
New Agreement Will Be
From 100, 900 to 100000

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The dead
lock between the Senate and House
over the naval appropriation bill was
broken to-day by conferees with g viz
tual agreement to lop off about $780,
100000 of the $9S,000,0O0 added to the
bill by the Senate, and with the right
of the House to vote directly on the
Borah disarmament amendment. There
are still many minor tangles to be
cleared away, but the conferees were
reported in substantial agreement on
all major points.
According to the plan as worked out
to-day, the navy personnel, including
naval aviation, will stand somewhere
between 100000 and 100000, House
members holding out for the smaller
total.
Many Republicans were plainly sur
prised tonight when they found that
the Borah amendment, precisely as
passed by the Senate, would come back
to the House. Reports that House
leaders would insist upon the Porter
disarmament resolution, concurring ain
the declared purpose of President Har-
ding" to call an international con-
terence on armaments. as a substi-
tute for the Borah proposal for
naval disarmament conference be-
tween Great Britain, Japan and the
United States, were met with the
statement that the House members of
the conference would not take part in
such course.
1t was pointed out that when the
conference report was laid before the
House the way would be opened for
parliamentary battles, but it was said.
on the other hand, that the agreement
reached to-day was based upon the
clean and absolute understanding that
Senate managers, in agreeing to whole
sale reductions in the bills total, did
SO upon condition only that the Borah
proposal should not be sidetracked.
AS the naval bill passed the House
1T carried approximately 5000, 900.
IL Will come back, according to authen-
TIC reports, with about five million dol
lars added, but with the understanding
tnat House managers will not oppose
certain other items which would run it
up few million more. Exact figures
were not available tonight, but it was
said that when the bill is finally pre-
sented to the House, probably Thurs
day, it will show all but from eight

senting the exact facts in the menacing
situation. In this connection Howard
W. Nudd, director of the Public Educa-
tion Association, said
"While it is of the utmost impor
lance that parents and philosophical
citizens generally should unite and
exert themselves to the utmost to i'm
prove conditions in the schools, it is
important that they should understand
clearly where the responsibility lies,
and not be led unwittingly into the
support of the political maneuvers OF
any particular candidate.
''In presenting the school situation
to the public the Hearst paper has
grossly misrepresented the actual
facts. 1t says

nearly twice as much as the Mitchell

From, The Tri5une's Washington Bureau

From, The Tribu,e's Washington, Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Prohibi-
ton was given its first severe setback
to-day when it was shown that the
House Rules Committee will not per-
NIT the Volstead anti-beer bill to go
to the floor for consideration by the
House. While no official action has
been taken by the Rules Committee,
nor is there any probability that it
will, it was brought out in the House
that Mr.. Volstead's request for a gag
rule for his bill will not be granted.
The discussion of the beer measure
was begun by Representative Thomas
l.. Blanton, Of Texas, who read into
the record letter from William E. An
derson, New York State superintendent
for the Anti-Saloon League, captioned, :,
"Mr. Dinwiddie's Betrayal of Prohib-
ton" The letter was bitter attack
against DR.. Dinwiddie, the man who
was more responsible than any other
for the adoption of the prohibition
amendment, and at the same time de-
MED there is any split among the drys.
Campbell Introduces Beer Bill
Another development of the day was
the new move by Chairman Campbell
of the Rules Committee, who intro
duced an anti-beer bill identical with
the one introduced yeste rday in the
Senate by Senator Willis, of Ohio. The
measure is a copy of those sections of
the Volstead bill, which deal directly
with the so-called "beer emergency"
Mr.; Campbell will ask Mr.. Volstead's
judiciary committee tomorrow to re-
port his measure favorably.
After reading into the record the
Anderson letter, Representative Blan-

was interrupted by Mr.. Campbell, who
said:

But they do not want to-" Mr..
Campbell said, while the House ap-
plauded: "And they won't" Later Mr..
Campbell said:

bodying all the provisions of Mr.. Vol

Hylan Fails to Seat One Pupil;
Mitchell Provided for 46,1OO
FUNDS of Former Administration Used by Mayor
to Open Schools to 4, 100; Hearst Accused
of Clouding Education Issue

Investigation of the alarming and IN
sanitary condition into which the public
public schools of the city have been
permitted to degenerate through the
indifference and inefficiency of the Hy-
ian administration reveals that not a
single increase in seating capacity has
been provided by direct appropriation
OF the present city government.
The increase in seating capacity of
the schools has been 400 under Mayor
Hylan, as compared with gain of
$4,000 by the Mitchell administration.
Even the 400 were added through the
balance left over from funds appropri-
ated by the Mitchell regime.
Civic organizations which have been
ardent in their efforts to bring about
conditions less menacing to the health
of school children severely criticized
yesterday the efforts of the Hearst pa
pers to make political capital out of
the present wretched situatiof, for
which the Hylan administration is re-
sponsible.
They pointed out the attempt of The
New York Journal to becloud the issue
by organizing so-called non-partisan

rail. Marshall said he would fix the
lace and knelt to do so.
The next thing she knew. Mrs. Mar
shall said, she was being hoisted over
the rail. She screamed. Passengers
came and dragged her husband away.
Then they rescued her from perilous
position over the side of the boat, with
one hand clasped to the rail.
Marshall is reported to have done his
best to NOW down enough of the 500
passengers to gain for himself the
freedom of the boat. Failing that he
tried to jump overheard.
When the boat docked at Weehawken
he was taken to Police Headquarters,
where the constabulary declined to
handle the case because the ferryboat
was nearer New York than New Jersey
when the rumpus is said TO have taken
place.
The Marshall family therefore was
transported back to Manhattan and es-
corted to the West Forty Street
police station.
There the husband is said to have
said something about his wife being
too old and his own comparative youth.
He will be arranged to-day in West

Senate Likely to Yield
To Sharp Cut in army

WASHINGTON, June 21. - Recon-
mendations will be made by Chairman
Wadsworth of the Senate Military At
fairs Committee tomorrow that the
Senate recede from its amendments to
the army appropriation bill, found OBJ
Jectionable by the House conferees.
Concurrence of the Senate in the rec
ommendation is expected and the big
appropriation bill will then practically
be ready to be sent to the President.
The recommendation to be made by
Chairman Wadsworth is in line with
the decision of the Senate conferees
to yield to the House on the question
OF reduction of the army's enlisted
personnel. The House has insisted
that the army be reduced from its
present strength of about 100000 men
to 10000 men by next October. The
Senate conferees have held out for a
more gradual reduction.

the duties of electors or of jury service.
IF our women fail in these highest of
all responsibilities, it will not much mat

the state.

women are not eligible to act as jurors.
