President Harding's promise made
during his campaign to reorganiz the
Government departments to prevent
overlapping of work land effect econo-
mics has hit the rocks because of the
opposition of several of his Cabinet.
Walter +. Brown. chairman of the
reorganization committee and appointed
as the Presidents personal representa-
tive, has worked out some plan of con-
solidation, but 1t is still nebulous and
never has been approved by the other
members of the commission, who are
members of the Senate and House.
Secretary Of War Weeks is bitterly
opposed to the proposal of Chairman
Brown to consolidate the War and Navy
departments into a Department of Ma
tional Defense. Secretary Fall Of the
Interior Department also opposes that
proposal, as he fears the Division of
National Resources, which 1t is proposed
to incorporate in the Department of Ma
tional Defense would take from his de-
department the supervision of mineral
and oil lands Secretary Fall and Sec
rotary Wallace of the Agriculture De-
partment are a loggerheads over the
proposal to transfer the forest service
from the Department of Agriculture to
the Department of the interior.

DEFICIT OF S494,SOO
IN CITY SCHOOL FUND
Board of Estimate Will BE
Asked for Amount TO Run
Until, End of Year.

The Board OF Education needs S494,-
900 TO tide the school system over the
remainder of the year and the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment VIII be
asked for that amount. The board has
a surplus OF $516000 from The special
and general school fund. which makes
the net deficit OF the year Si94.300.
The board at special meeting last
night at which these facts were an
nounced. agreed that II was the best
policy to relinquish the S516.0O0 To the
Board of Estimate and make applica-
ton for the gross deficit
The deficit in the school system Is
divided as follows:
Day elementary schools. $500. 900 day
high schools. $500. 600: evening ele-
mentary schools. $4,000; evening high
schools. $4,000; elementary trade
schools, $4,000: vacation pay fund for
per diem teachers, Si2.000; parental
and truant schools, $4,000.
When George J. Ryan president. and
his auditors Of the Board OF Education
estimated their deficit I'm July for the
rest of the year 1t appeared TO be
81. 100000. Mr.. Ryan rejoiced over the
manner in which this had been brought
down.
The board adopted resolution asking
the commissioners OF the sinking fund
to reconsider their action and denial
for the renewal of the leasing OF two
buildings used as annexes for Public
School 81, 179th street and Clinton ave-
nue.. The Bronx.
The commissioners OF the sinking
fund refused TO renew the leases because
OF increased rentals. but the board de-
clared that IL they are not continued
as school annexes the conditions In Pub
lie Schools 32, 81 and 50 In The Bronx
will be intolerable."
THE board urges that these buildings
be kept for annexes until the new
school at Mohegan avenue and 179th
street, near p. S. 81. is completed. All
three schools mentioned are overcrowded
now" the board said.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New brunswick, N. j., Nov. 15.-
The Hall-Mills case is ready for pres
entation to the Grand Jury and Mrs.
Jane Gibson is to be the mainstay of
the prosecution. but there is to be no
forcing of an indictment. Wilbur A.
Mott Special Deputy Attorney-Ge
eral. made 1t clear to-day that when
he has presented the case he will have
discharged his duty and that the re-
sponsibility thereafter will rest with
the jury.
Subppnas are being sent out to
about fifty persons and it is probable
that before the end of next week more
than that numbef of persons will have
been before tn Grand Jury. But no
detective work is being done. The
State troopers. or most of them, are
off the job for the time being. and Mr.
Mott and his chief assistant, James
A. Mason, are doing most of the work
on the case in Newark not in New
Brunswick or SomervilIe.
Amazing as 1t may seem. in view of
this state of affairs. there has not been
developed as far as the public and the
Independent Investigators know. one
single scrap of evidence incrim,nating
the man against whom 1t Is being said
an indictment will be found. This is
ground for the assumption that some
of the officials in bringing this man into
the case at the eleventh hour have
deliberately drawn red herring across
the trail to divert suspicion from the
man they actually have in mind and
who is supposed, to have perfect alibi
