Dr. McCovern
 Explains Stand

Dr. Edward F. NLcGovern. secretary of the Board of Education, today ex- plained the stand he took at Monday nights meeting of the Board on the Dr. McGovern said:
 T acted as l did because the Re- publican members of the Board v1o- lated the long-esta tablished custom which allows the members of each side of the Board to fill the vacancies on their own side. have nothlng against the members chosen put l am merely insisting on the observance of the precedent which has been set.
 T resent very strongly the action of the Republican members of the board in forcing the Dem ocrattc members to accept the candidate whom the Democrats had no chance to choose. The Democrats were not called into caucus as had always been the rule but were forced to ac- cept members thrust upon them by the Republicans.
 gro this I am utterly opposed, as it is a violation of that courtesy which the Democratic members have always accorded Republicans but which the Republicans have not ac- corded to the Democrats in the Board of Education"
 Lynn w. Wilson said: My friend, Dr. McGovern, is atributing to other causes matters that occurred because his view was nor sustained by an ade- quate knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
 It was long known that Dr. Me Laughlin would resign, that he felt he had no more time to give. It was known there was a wish, l should succeed him.
 Senator Clark was nominated by a Democrat, and elected unanimously under the rules of the board. He was nominated from the Democratic side, and was the only nominee.
 I cratic side, was the only nominee, and was unanimously chosen under the rules of the board.
 Since my friends had no candidate in the field, they cannot know what the result would nave been if they had one.
 ''Dr. McGovern was chosen secre- tary, and MT. Burns, president, upon nomination from the Democratic side with the aid of Republican votes. Twp things are necessary in a deliberative assembly. Men must know what they want, and they must do those things which under parliamentary law are necessary to be done to secure and expression of the collective will. If my friends neglected these two condi- tions, it is not my fault, and it surely is not the fault of the Republicans, who voted for the only Democratic candidates who were presented to them.'

CIVIC VIRTUE STATUE ERECTED

You recall that women throughout
the country protested against the new
statue called Civic Virtue" sculped
by MacMonnies, which was to be set
up in City Hall park in New York.
The objection was that civic virtue
was sympolized by a man, who was
trampling on vice and temptation, IN
form of two figures having women's
heads and fishes tails. The Nation
al Association of Women PAINTERS
and Sculptors however stood up III
defense of the work, as being in ac-
cordance with art and tradition. May
or Hylan agreed with the protesting
ladies that the group was an insult
TO 2Oth-oentury womanhood and i'm
proper for boys and girls to see'
Nevertheless it was erected in place.

RENDERS PAINLESS DENTISTRY

French dentists have discovered
that oxygen may be used to render
dental operations quite painless. Al
first oxygen at body temperature Is
projected against The area to be OPP
Grated on. Gradually the tempera-
ture of the gas is lowered until the
tissue becomes insensible. After the
operation the process is reversed and
as the tissue is gradually restored TO
normal temperature sensibility re-
turns. The use of oxygen is said to
be altogether free from the objec-
tionable features attending the use OF
opiates and other substances COM
monty used in so-called painless den
tistry. According to DR.. Jubal OF the
Paris dental school, the new method
will make dental operations incom-
parably easier for both dentists and
patients.

1900 NEGRO BRICK
WORKERS ON STRIKE

Haverstraw, N. Y, May Estate
troopers tonight were patrolling the
streets Of this town, ready to quell
any disorder which might result from
a strike of 1900 to 1900 negro
workers who have succeeded in shut
ting down sixteen brick plants.
Most Of the strikers arrived within
the last few weeks from the South.
The mounted men arrived in the
morning. Extra guards were placed
at the brick yards and strikers were
kept moving. The only disturbance
of the day was a fight between a
trooper and a negro, in which the lat
ter's arm was broken.
Employers said the trouble start
ed yesterday when they asserted
about 200 men from one plant, arm
ed with clubs, marched out, urged
workers at other plants to quit and
heat up those who wouldn't. The
manufacturers claim altho between
1900 and 1900 men are out, only
200 really are disgruntled and the
rest inundated.

OLIVER ASKS US.
TO PAY $716, 900
Wartime Seizure Basis For Claim
Against Government

Washington, May 13.--lt will cost
the government $4,000 to square
accounts for wartime seizure by
the DE- apartment of Justice during the
Wilson administration If a claim
pending before the War Department
for that sum is granted.
The claim is being passed this
week before Assistant Secretary
Wright, under the provisions of the
Dent act, by counsel for the claim
ant. William j. Oliver, president of
the William j. oliver Manufacturing
Company, of Knoxville, Tenn. Oliver
claims he suffered losses of S716,0OO
by reason of the seizure of his plant
by the Department of Justice while
engaged in 1918 in the manufacture
of artillery shells for the army.
The seizure was made in connec-
ton with the arrest of oliver on the
charge of conspiracy to manufacture
faulty shells and thereby defraud the
government on the munitions con-
tract. The arrest and seizure took
place October 1918.
Oliver was injured in an accident
on the way to court and did not re-
cover sufficiently to face trial until
the spring of 1920. Meanwhile the
government was in possession of the
oliver plant, following which the
company was thrown into the hands
of a receiver, who is still in charge.
When Oliver finally was brought to
trial in the United States District
Court at Knoxville he was acquitted
without putting a witness on the
stand in his own defense on the tes-
tony of the governments own wit
nesses.
The charges, Oliver says, were
trumped up against him by organ
lied labor leaders who appealed TO
the Department of Labor, and thru
that medium brought about the &C
ton of the Department or justice
oliver was operating his plant as an
open shop and was in a bitter labor
war with the union organizations at
Knoxville.
Oliver came into national promi-
nence in 1907 during the Roosevelt
administration, when he submitted
a bid for the construction of the
Panama Canal, lock, stock and bar
rel, before the government decided to
do the work under the direction OF
army engineers.
The 900 oliver war claim Will
be taken under advisement by AS
sistant Secretary Wainwright, and
will be referred to Secretary Weeks

BroQk!ine Village station, when !
| glanced out Of the window and saw
a dog on the sidewalk racing with the
car. ! watched to see how long he
would run, expecting that after a
hundred feet or so he would stop
and await another vehicle to chase,
dog fashion.
But he showed no signs of retiring
from the race. The car stopped to
take on a passenger, and the dog
rushed from the sidewalk to the road.
I With a most alert expression on his
face he watched the rear steps until
the car started, and then he again
made for the sidewalk and continued
| his marathon. He seemed to be well
aware Of the fact that the street was
rough with ice and snow, and that
the sidewalk was clear and sanded.
Desperately he endeavored to keep
abrest OF the car. He did not seem
discouraged at the prospect of los
| ing race, and although out-distanc-
ed when the car did not stop for sew
eral streets, he always managed to
catch up with it when it did stop.
Each time he rushed to the steps and
watched eagerly. He even discov-
cred that there were two means of
entering the car, and sometimes, af-
ter a moment at the rear, he ran to
the front steps and watched intently.
| Always. when the car started, he
bounded to the sidewalk and tried
his best to keep up the race.
At the Brooklile Village station
he was not deferred by the crowd;
and when the car left the station he
was close beside it. BY this time
everyone in the car was interested in
Jerry.
At South Huntington Avenue the
car stopped. Just as it started, Jer-
ry, in desperation, leaped up the
steps on to the front platform. A
sympathetic motorman opened the
door, and Jerry, painting, jumped to
the long front seat. He searched up
and down the car with his eyes for
several minutes, needless of the per-
sons who spoke to him. He could
not seem to locate the one for whom
/ he searched. That dog certainly
equalled many a human in facial ex-
preston.
/ In quiet moment when the car
had stopped, his mistress, who was
seated in the extreme rear Of the car,
called "Jerry!"
A noticeable expression of relief
passed over Jerry'c countenance, and,
with a joyful bark, he dashed down
the length of the car. Another bark
or two, and quiet reigped.
When l left the car at Massachu-
sets Avenue, Jerry was contentedly
curled up at his mistress feet.-Our

FORD'S WAR PROFITS"

Boosters of Henry Ford have long
been telling the tale that Ford gave
back to the government all the prof
its he made out of his war contracts
and the amount was stated as $780,
600 900. But when Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon needed money to
pay on Uncle Sans bills he could
find no trace of the alleged fund. So
he asked Henry to tell more about it.
Henry replied that it was all mis-
take. and that he had not made any
such payment. But anyway it was
good advertising.
