NEW ATTACK ON
 INTERFERENCE
Campaign Is Opened By Methodist Board for
 Public Morals

New York, April 16.-CUP).- A temperance campaign through the public schools was opened to- day by the Methodist board of pro- hibition and public morals. The new attack was announced at a meeting of the board in an address written by Dr Clarence True Will son. Dr Wilson, who suddenly be- came i'll after arriving here for the board meeting, was unable to de- liver the address personally. His illness, however, was not serious.
 Plans for instituting anti-alcohol courses in freshman high school classes were announced. A text book which ''in no sense is propa- ganda" has been prepared by the board. "We must make this text book a required course in the freshman class of every high school in the country" the address said. "Of course many school are not going to be in accord with this plan but it will be our business to go to principals and superipteE- dents and put the matter squarely up to them" The textbook em- phasizes, according to Dr Wilson. that alcohol "is a habit-forming [drug like morphine, cocaine or heroin. and is as deadly. The ef- fects of this drug must be, shown to the youth of the land"

City Manager Plan
 Sought In Hartford
Former Waterburian Starts Agitation for Charter
 Change at Testimonial Dinner

Presentation of a bill changing the charter of the city of Hartford.
 in the next session of the state legislature, so as to provide for a city manager form of government,
 was predicted Saturday night at a testimonial banquet in honor of James J. Mcclure, president of the Property owners, Taxpayers and Citizens league of the Capital city. The meeting took place at the Ho- tel Bond. MT Mcclure is a former
 president of the local trolleymen's s union.,
 The fact that Hartford is to be forced into a discussion of-whether or not the city manager form of government is better than the mayor plan. caused much interest locally. Waterbury has long been involved in sucn debate.
 In the 1881 session a bill estab- fishing the city manager form of governm ent was introduced in
 Hartford by local advocates of the system. Several mass meetings
 were held here to bring out public sentiment in favor of the idea.
 However. the legislature turned
 down the city manager bill and adopted a substitute measure, in- troduced by leaders of the local
 community, providing for strong
 mayor" charter. This charter is
 now in force here with Mayor
 Frank Hayes at the helm.
 MT Mcclure declared at the Sat
 urday night gathering that the best
 way to eliminate excessive expen- ditures in municipal government
 in Hartford is to adopt the city manager plan.
