Weep With Mrs. Reid.
Scientific men attending the Anti
Narcotic conference threw aside all
restraint as Mrs. Reid, racked with
emotion, told of how her brilliant
young husband was caught in the
coils of the inSidious habit and of
how his death came after a gallant
battle to shake it off. They were
profoundly affected by her story.
After her appearance before the
Federation of Women's Clubs at the
Roosevelt Hotel, scores of club
women, overcome with tears, rushed
forward to pledge to Mrs. Reid
their. support for her great mission
that of fighting the dope ring

for the spread of the deadly evil
that has brought such tragedy into
her life.

IN School fight

the board of finance. called meeting
of his board, we understood II was
for the purpose OF making up anti
cipated deA,its. A committee Of the
school board appeared before the f.
nance board with a program and 1t
was voted to recommend $62b,000 In
bonds. This went to the council and
then the city meeting board. Many
members OF the common council
thought this was too much money,
especially since we had voted $4,000
in 1922. When II came before the
city meeting board tried. my best to
convince you that 100000 was
enough.
Heard SG25,OOO Was Not Needed
"rhe chairman OF the school board
later informed me that the board of
finance acted hastily and in his opin-
ion all those bonds were not needed;
and that the school board did not
authorize the sub committee to come
before the board of finance and taxa
| ton.
II next took the matter up with
! Mr.. Hall, later chairman of the A.
nance board, and tried to have him
secure an agreement that they would
spend no more than $4,000 for the
next two years.
THE time has come when the
school board must be made to realize
that they must cooperate. The
school board has been and will
continue to be body that will

derful work it is doing l don't ques-
ton that it is doing good work; but
when the superintendent comes out
with a statement that it cost the city
s723,000 to run the schools last year,
when the city actually paid $S75,000.
without water, depreciation and Incl
dentals, he is misleading the public.
A man paid $4,000 year ought to

Told to "Nind Own Business"
Il wrote to the school board and
asked that they not act hastily in
spending bond money and that, if
possible, they suspend building opera
tons because of the high price of
labor and materials. | asked that
they make a survey first, and what
was their answer?
Mr.. Mayor, mind your own bust

And the truth of the matter is
that / wrote that letter at the in
stigation of a member of the school
committee and he was the one to
criticize me.
1.-The school board should be made
to cooperate for government by
the people and for the people, not an
aristocratic affair such as the school
board"
Hall Names Goodwin.
Mr. Hall told the meeting that, at
the request of the mayor, he con-
ferred with E. Clayton Goodwin, who
has since resigned from the school
board, and he was assured that no
more than 100000 would be spent in
the next two years.

OF the finance board, objected.

wishes for enlightenment" Financ,
Commissioner lie Witt asserted.
Alderman Gilpatric thought the
board should have more time to con.
slider this question. He expressed
himself as condent that, the school
board would not create unnecessary
expense and unless further informa.
ton was given him he could not see
sufficient reason to rescind, he said
Says Board Was Misled.
Daniel Sullivan felt that the board
had been misled in the matter of this
issue of school bonds. He said that
he and other members of the body
were of the opinion that the issue
had been regularly acted upon by
the school committee.
Finance Commissioner lie Witt
ventured an opinion that it will be
shown ultimately that the bond issue
was regularly acted upon. While he
said he offered no objection when the
bond issue first came up, on second
thought he would not have acted SO
hastily. He believed that the full
amount was needed, but did not think
it necessary to have such a large is
sue out at one time. He favored
granting 100000 and said that If
more was needed. the finance board
would still be doing business at the
old stand.
In reply to question of Mr.. Att
wood, Mr.. Hall said the city can
issue only about quarter of a mil
lion dollars worth OF bonds in addi-
ton to those now authorized.
Quigiey Takes the Floor.
The next speaker, ex-Mayor Quig-
ley said:
AT the last meeting, suggested a
two weeks adjournment for sur
vey My lack of confidence in ,the
school board was brought to a head
when E. Clayton Goodwin announced
that the board proposed to build a
school in the rear of Chapman
street."
He declared that the city is close
to its limit in bonded indebtedness;
that sewers must be built and other
works done that require bonds. He
said that while other city depart
ments have scraped to save little
money each year, occasionally sue
ceeding, the school department would
come in and eat UP the balance.
He asserted that the city has been
lavish in school expenditures and to
support his argument pointed out
that 1t costs $4,000 room in the
present school system. The speaker
charged that the school board has
appropriated powers that it does not
rightfully possess and has been AFRO
CANT in its demand for funds. He
cautioned his listeners that it will be
less than five years before the city
will pay for school buildings out of
taxation if the present system is con-
tinued.
Carney Defends School Board.
Judge Gaffney, in opening the
argument of those opposed to re-
scinding, said he was not an aristo-
crat, but a humble citizen making his
first appearance before the board
with no motive but the good of the
city at heart. He hoped that all
members had the same motive and
that if there was any bias or preju-
dice against a member of the board
it would be forgotten. He said the
school board, an elective body, has

man told the meeting that Mr., Good.

mittee. had worked so hard that he
was twice stricken and finally driven
to his sick bed. This he character
lied as self sacrifice on the frontiers
of civilization"
He lauded ex-Mayor Quigley for
advancing the idea'o drafting a pro-
gram OF school extensions covering q
period OF years and also. for recon-
mending the purchase of the entire
Carmody tract Of II acres, rather
than only seven acres as was first
planned. He told OF the vast amount
OF work that was done In connection
with the school survey and of its
fruits--a million dollar school build
ing program. He told OF personally
Directing. to II as too elaborate, but
that he was convinced II was neces-
sary.
The speaker said the city has
jumped from $4,000 to 10000 in
population In short space of years
and the problem OF educating Is a big
one. He quoted Washington. Do
genes and Napoleon on the value of
public education. He argued that
school houses are the trenches and
barbed wire fences holding out
against barbarism.
Portables Not Fit for Use.
Discussing the school situation, he
said there are In use ~ portable
houses not fit for schools and that
there are children being educated in
the basement of the Smalley school,
long since condemned as unfit for
school purposes.
Concluding his talk, the judge
said:
"If you don't appropriate this
money you don't punish the school
board, you don't hurt me; you punish
the little child Don't put him in
the basement. canvass of the city
shows the money Is needed. Don't
you want to move, forward? If I've
been 'discourteous, apologize, but
don't punish the child" .
Lawyer Nair said that Is years ago
he was unable to speak work of
English and he paid tribute to the
work of the New Britain school
system. He felt If the school board
said it would not exceed a certain
amount it would live up to its
promise.
Kehoe Favors Survey.
Finance Commissioner T. H. Kehoe
doubted if anyone was opposed to

the city meeting board wants is more
schools for the same amount of
He favored a survey even if
it took six months to do it.
Mr.. Quigley said no harm could be
done by resembling the vote. If funds
are needed the finance board will hear
the plea he pointed out.

dren live on the new chiefs allotment
an Inheritance Of 800 acres They are
among the few who have not disposed
of any Of their property. They raise
live stock Of all kinds, are thrifty and
send their children to white schools.
''The best material for the job," is
the way the Indians describe Chief
Lucy. John Eads, who is cousin Of
James Buchanan Eads, who built the
Eads bridge across the Mississippi
river at St. Louis, proudly takes his
place as husband of the chief. "She
is an excellent wife, fine mother, the

Lucy Tayiah, with her brother EN-
nett, were adopted years ago by old

from their lands in Kansas in 1873 to
a new settlement in Oklahoma terri
tory. He sent them to Haskell insti-
tute, after they had completed the
tribal schools Here Lucy distinguished

The Kaws, like many other Indians,
have sold and dissipated their hold

Although their lands join those Of the

seen rising In the distance, the Kaws
have reaped no mineral benefit as
