he would recommend that the Board OF
Education formally express its appre-
citation to the American Seating Co. and
its agent. the Snellenburg Co., of Phila-
delphia, for their cooperation in rush
ing to completion the furniture order
for that school. Oficials pointed out
frequently manufacturers used not only
all of the specified contract time in
filling their orders, but actually used
extensions.

were certified for admission to 1t by the
elementary and junior high schools last

who live within the Roosevelt neigh
borhood, will be transferred to Roose-

dismissed at ! o'clock. A similar pro-
gram will be followed tomorrow, but by

rarily from the now vacated Bus1-

facilities for providing lunch for the

Emergencies Awaited.
Another point of interest was the new
Phoebe A. Hearst School, at Thirty
seventh and Tilden streets. With all
its furniture intact, that school had
the appearance of one of the city's vet
eran elementary buildings at 10 O'Clock,
with every child in his seat and every
teacher actually instructing.
At Franklin School the officials were
at their desks awaiting emergencies.
With the exception, however, of the
mere handful of parents who sought
official aid in transferring their chill
dren from building to building, no such
emergency" had arisen by noon.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
characterized the opening of schools as
thoroughly satisfactory" in every way.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 19.-State-
mentS released through the Republican
National Committee asserted today that
Gov. Roosevelt's suggestions regarding
railroads were lifted bodily from the
Presidents message to Congress" last
December and "cribbed' from Interstate
Commerce Commission documents.
Comments on Gov. Rcosevelt's Salt
Lake City speech were signed by Repre-
sentative Bertrand II. Smell, House
leader; Senator James E. Watson of
Indiana, and Senator Daniel o. Hast
ings of Deleware, assistant Eastern
campaign manager.
Glad to See Progress"
"I am glad to see that Gov Roose-
welt is making progress" read Repre-
sentative Smells statement The first
constructive suggestion that he has
made during the entire campaign Is
lifted bodily from the Presidents mes
sage to Congress as late as last Decem-
Der. referring to the railroad situation.
II am also glad to note that Gov.
Roosevelt has finally retracted his un-
fair criticism of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporations railroad leans,
made in his forgotten man speech OF
last April. He now admits that these
loans have saved our national railroad
fabric.
Senator Watson's statement said:
Gov. Roosevelt in his speech on the
railways has practically adopted the
recommendation Of the President and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for long-view policies, yet he has the
effrontery to say that the difference be-
tween the policies of the President and
his policy is that the President suggests
only temporary credit, while the Gov
ernor's policies look to the long view"
Gives Hoover Credit.
Gov. Roosevelt" said Senator Hast
ings, made a strong appeal to per-
sons interested in financing and oper-
ating railroads as well as those en-
ployed by them by giving a graphic re-
cital of their difficulties. At the same
time he attempted to blame the Presi-
dent for his failure to meet the serious
situation.
HE must have gotten his facts and
his idea of the Importance OF the rail-
roads from the messages OF President
Hoover to the Congress"
