Miller Denies Great
Waste in State Business
Does Not Believe There Has
Been Big Loss in Last 20
Years. at Least

SCHENECTADY, Feb. 23.-"It is not
true that there is a GREAT waste in the
public service of New York State" de-
clared Governor Nathan L. Miller in
an address before the Rotary Club here
tonight. "I do not think it has been
true at any time and under any ad-
ministration in the last twenty years,
at least" he added. "As a rule the
business Of the State has been well
DONE
Speaking of expenses generally the
Governor asserted that the estate ex-
penses fer this year are as low as
they can possibly be made, and there
can be no further reduction this year
or next"
In concluding his address the Gov
ernor declared that there is always
opportunity to promote efficiency and
to bring about better government, but
it will always depend, in the final an
alyss, upon the men who administer
the affairs Of the various state de-
partments."
The Governors address was broad

MURDER CASE
ACTION TAKEN
Highland Park Man Wanted
in Double Murder Now in
County Jail

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. G.
George Girando, who was brought
back from Canada by County De-
tective David on a charge of having
participated in the double murder
at Highland Park in July, is now
lodged in the county Jail.
According to David, Girando ad-
mitH having taken part in the ceie-
bration preceding the double murder
but denies any connection with the
shooting. He says that he was
drunk and asleep in a field opposite
the house where the party was held.
While asleep in the field, he says
that he was awakened and was told
by man to beat it. David believes
that he did beat it and did not stop
until he got to Canada.
Girando says he was sore when
his car was stolen, but according tC
David the car was only ten feet
away. The statement that Girando
has made is thought by the authori.
ties to be a plan to cover up the
real facts in the case. Girando was
arrested at Welland. Ontario, by the
police at that place through a cir
cular sent out by the prosecutors
office which contained his photo
graph, finger prints and general de-
scription of the man wanted He
was charged with vagrancy in Can. =
da and the county authorities ere
notified with the result that David
was dispatched to bring him back to
stand trial.

CLASH ON ruling made
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL;
SCHOOLS OPEN today
Supt. of Schools ShuII Diff
fers With City Comptroller
on Opinion
SEE NEW CONTROVERSY
Schools of City Opened Today
With Crowded Conditions
\ at Start

The public schools of the city
opened their doors this morning for
the 4922-23 term, an unprecedented
enrolment being looked for as the
result of early reports by principal Is
to superintendent Samuel e. Shull.
A crowded condition such as has
never before existed in the public
schools was inevitable, Superintend-
ent Shull said. although he was un-
able at noon to know the exact
number of pupils that reported to
their respective schools.
All of the schools have undergone
repairs and alterations of some de-
scription during the summer and
there were numerous changes in the
faculties at many of the institutions
of learning. In the high school the
students were reporting at different
hours in order that the large influx
might be more easily handled. The
seniors reported at 8 o'clock, the
juniors at $3.50, the sophomores al
1890 and the freshmen were not
scheduled to attend until 1870
o'clock this afternoon.
More Pupils Coming
Superintendent Shull said it
would be difficult to determine for
few days the exact number If pu-
pills as enrollments will continue to
&C mt in throughout the week. Ow-
ing to the fact that three rooms IN
the high school are being utilized by
grammar shool pupils, the high
school, is one of the most crowded
scnool buildings in the city. The
grammar school will be taxed to Its
full capacity as will the other schools
according to the present outlook.
Thn addition n fha hjph -nhnnI
completed late last spring, is looked
upon as a "life-saver" by Superin-
tendent Shull and members of the
school board, as. without it, there
would be students who could not be-
ooCmmodated.
Although it was thought the at
torney generals opinion on this
bonded debt limit question would
settle all Observation-Disclosures, the
prospects this afternoon were that
arcther clash will result as there Is
row a difference of opinion as to the
meaning of the opinion of Attorney
General McCran. Superintendent
Shull today maintained that the
opinion says school bonds can be is
sued in this particular case While
Comptroller Morgenson declared
that the opinion, as he interprets it,
makes it impossible to do this.
H. would now appear that the diff
ference in opinion over the interpre-
tation of the attorney generals rul-
ing will have to be settled by ;oun
selor or attorney skilled in making
clear the sum and substance of this
opinion.
Superintendent Shull declared to-
day that the law specifies that cities
must provide school room to accom-
pany the pupils desiring to attend
public schools, the necessary funds
to be secured either by taxation or
bond issue. There can be no eX-
cuses for failure to supply sufiicient
school facilities. Hyr. Schulz said, the
penalty imposed by the state upon
the municipality failing to properly
provide school room being the with
holding of the states apportionment
which in the case of Perth Am hoy
this year is $4,000.
