he said, have similar aims. but
work separately in seeking to realize
these aims. The suggestion so far
as it related to public welfare was
endorsed by. Walter S. Ufford.
secretary of the Associated Chari-
ties, who said there should be a
central body established which
would serve as a clearing house
for all proposed bills relating to
welfare.
Restoration of the power to try
non-support cases in the Juvenile
Court was asked in a resolution
adopted by the club. This power
was taken from the Court in 1922
when the United States Supreme
Court affirmed a decision Of the
District Court of Appeals that the
Juvenile Court does not have the
right to sentence to hard labor a
man found guilty of non-support.
Other speakers at the meeting
were Maud Wood Park, president
of the National League of Women
Voters, and John Ihlder, of the
Chamber of Commerce. Mrs.

SCHOOL BOARD
APT To NAME
LLOYD
Julius !. Peyser and Ernest
Greenwood, Possibilities,
Will Not Run.

James T. Lloyd probably will be
elected president of the Board of
Education when the board meets to-
morrow afternoon at the Franklin
School to elect a successor to Daniel
j. Callahan, who resigned some time
ago as a member of the board.
Neither Capt. julius /. Peyser nor
Ernest Greenwood, vice president,
will run for the office, and both are
said to have told friends that they
would not accept the position should
it be rendered them. Both are said
to take the view that to accept the
presidency of he board would be to
tie their hands and restrain them
from free criticism of the board
actions.
Lloyd is well fitted to become head
of the city's public schools. An ex.
member of Congress, he is thoroughly
familiar with parliamentary pro-
cedure and. he has been acting pres
ident, alternating with E. C. Ora.
