FIGURES
SHOW INCREASE
Five Schools are Known to
Have Larger Enrolment
this Year than Last

The total enrolment of the
schools in the city at the close OF
classes yesterday was 1892. This is
a small increase over last year, the
enrolment at that time being 7,776.
1t is impossible as yet to estimate
how many part time classes there
will be, due to the fact that parents
have five days to enter their chill
dren and indications are that the
present enrolment will be greatly In
creased in that time. Increases are
shown this year in schools NO. q o.
g and 9. There is also an increase
in the high school.
The enrolment of 1892 does not
include the continuation classes. the
schools which are crowded at the
present time are No. 8, and 8. 1t
is likely that part time classes will
be arranged in these schools, al
though it will be several days yet
before they will be in operation.
In order to take care of the in
creased attendance and the part
time classes the Board of Education
has increased the teaching staff by
employing ten more teachers than
last year.
The enrolment in the various
schools at the close of the sessions
yesterday follows:
School No. 1: Boys, 300; girls, 272;
total, SIS.
School No. 8: Boys, 25; girls. 20;
total, As.
School No. 4: Total, $40.
School No. 5: Boys. S92; girls, Ala;
total. sos.
School No. Z: Boys, s14; girls, 272;

ONE PATROLMAN ARRESTS
PARTY OF FOUR TODAY

When Patrolman Louis Hansen
this morning called to party of five
negroes, three men and two women,
to discontinue their disorderly ac-
tions, one of the men set upon him
and the officer had battle holding
off four members of the party until
the arrival of the police patrol. The
trouble occurred in the vicinity of
the Staten Island ferry, where Off
GER Hansen was doing traffic duty.
Those arrested are:
George Bernard, colored, thirty
six, a fireman of Brooklyn, drunk
and disorderly.
James Mathanies, colored, thirty
eight, machinist of Brooklyn, in
terfering with an officer.
William Francis, colored, twenty
seven, a cook of Brooklyn, interfer-
ing with an officer.
Emma Mathanies, colored, thirty
three, housewife, of Brooklyn,
drunk and disorderly.
The fifth member of the party, the
wife of Francis, decided to remain
with her mother, the Mathanies
woman. 1t is probable that they will
be arraigned before Recorder Har4
old e. Pickersgill this evening.
1t is said that the five had dined
in a lower Smith street restaurant,
and had had some trouble before
paying their bill. Loud talking,
swearing and disorderly actions at
tracted Onicer Hansen's attention
and he called to the party. All five
members evidently had imbibed of
the drink that cheers and they were
not to be bothered. Mathanies at
tackled the officer and the two males,
and one female, were ready to assist
him.
Chauffeur Emil Koyen came with
the police patrol and the five were
loaded in and taken to headquarters.
The four members of the party con-
tinued the boisterous talk at the sta
ton house. One quarter of pint
bottle of pure spirits, was in the pos
session of Mathanies, and bottle of
bay rum also was found on the per-
son of one man arrested.
Those arrested are all believed to
be boat-people, who were out cele-
brating payday. One man had over
5000 in his possession.

GREEKS AVOID
ITALIAN FLEET
Vessels Ordered to Retire to
Gulf of Volo to Prevent
Any Clash

PARIS, Sept. 6.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press )-Settleme of the
Greco-Italian conflict through the
council of ambassadors still lis re-
garded in French circles as the most
likely procedure to be adopted.
Reports from London that Pre-
mier Mussolini has decided to refuse
the intervention of the Ambassadors
Council. as well as the League of Ma
tions, is disbelieved in official quar-
ters here. 1t is pointed out that
Mussolini himself called the atten-
ton of the Ambassadors Council TO
the assassination of the Italian of1-
GERS, thus accepting the ambassa-
E-doFs' jurisdiction.
The retiremsnt Of the Greek fleet
to the Gulf Oh Volo is cQnmentsd
pupon A a wise move by khe Greek
government and as tending to prove
that Greece does not want to risk
armed conflict with Italy.
It is also believed here that Mus
solini cannot afford to prolong un-
necessarily the negotiations for the
settlement of the Janina affair as
Italy's situation is being complicated
by the Fiume question.
The assassination at Janina and
the occupation of Corfu are regard
ed here as separate affairs so far
as negotiations for their settlemeas
Is concerned, it first being necessary
to settle the issue over the assass-
ination and next to take up the
evacuation of the island by the
Italians.
