THREE TO DIRECT

Death of the athletic commission
ordinance introduced at the regular
meeting of the city council a week
ago last evening and introduction of
a measure in its place which would
establish a commission with control
only over boxing and wrestling is ex-
pected to take place at the next reg
ular meeting, the evening of Feb. 6.
Strong opposition has been voiced
against the bin now pending in a Coun-
Gil committee because it gives the pro-
posed athletic commission control over
all forms of sport, both amateur and pro-
fessionaI and authority to collect 3 per
cent Of the gate receipts in every in
stance where a permit is granted. Per
sons interested IN amateur sports, such
as high school and college baseball, foot
ball and basketball do not wish to see
them put into the hands of any one set
of men.

Few First Voters
Apply at Schools
For Literacy TEST
Those Who Do Are Met bv
Lack Of Certificates and
information; Examina-
tions Continue Tonight

Few first voters turned up last night
for the literary test to be given in
twenty-four schools in Manhattan and
The Bronx. Some schools had only
two applicants for the certificates to be
given those who assed the test; only
one had as many as twenty. At most
OF tn eschools there were no certifi-
Gates to give out to those who did
pass, and most of those in charge of
the examinations acknowledged that
they lacked definite information as to
the proper method of procedure.
AT several schools whore certificates IS
were lacking, successful applicants
were told to return i'll five days for
them. When it was called to the at
tention of the examiners that the law
stated successful applicants should re-
celve their certificates within three
days, they admitted lack Of informa-
tion on that point.
mo arrangements appear to have
been made for handling the tests at
this school," said Henry J. Holloway,
principal of public school go at West
Thirty-fifth Street where fifteen ap-
plicants presented themselves, "and |
am giving them myself. | cannot very
we'll dismiss the teachers in the even
ing classes because that would neces-
state sending the night school pupils
home. incidentally, we have not re-
ceived the certificates.
"My information is that these certif
Gates must be mailed to the voters if
sufficient time cannot be had to correct
the papers at the time they are ex-
amined. Yet, despite this, there has
been no appropriation made for post
age, and it is not quite clear to my
mind where the money for mailing is
to come from.
~ have not received any orders from
the Board of Education to divert teach
ers from the night classes to this ex-
animation, and until l receive these or
ders we must do this work as best we
can"
The examinations will be continued
this evening. New voters applying to
take the test are divided into four
classes-those who have just attained
the vote by naturalization, those who
have attained it by reason of their age,
those who have recently arrived from
another state, and the wives Of natu-
rallied citizens.
