Wk TSE EVENING WORIil), "WEDNESDAY, DEOEMBEB' 2D, 1922. f-f is) Ms '-I t7. J. t4 PULL HELPED HER 10 JOB, ADMISSION BY MISS M'COOEY But Had to Have Qualifica lion? First, She Says Critics Do Not Worry, Her. Miss Murmur! .1. McCoocy. lister of John II. McCoory, llroolilyn Demo cratlc leader, nut ut her -oil top dcslt In her new ofllec In the Hoard of Edu cation IIulldltiR yrstciday with a pile of school papers In front of her and vases of American icautlcs and chrys anthemums surrounding- licr. She was deep In tho study of school prob leras from the point of vtcw of a newly elected member of tho Board of Superintendents, and neither criti cism nor protest from without the C9th Street zono worried lier. "Of course It takes political favor to get a Job Ilka this or any other Job," commented tho rclatlvo of tho Brooklyn "boss," referring to attacks mado upon the board's selection of a politician's slste to fill the vacancy caused by tho death several months ago of Mrs. Grace Straclmn Forsytho. "Political pull helped mo, but you have to have something besides pall. You have to have qualifications IJrst before you are considered cllglblo, and you havo to have ability. I think I may say that my qualifications were deemed sufficient or my name would not havo been suggested. Timo will show whether the ability Is thcro or not." Miss McCoocy has dignity and re serve without austerity. Her glance is quick, penetrating and appraising, and her smllo Is friendly. She looks capable, calm and Judicial. A refer ence to. published uttucks on her appointment to a position which brings her a -yearly salary of J8.250 Instead of the $4,750 sho received as principal of a Brooklyn school caused Ijer eyes to flash. "All those remarks itnd criticisms havo been mads by persons who know nothing about tho Board of Education. Therefore I am not worried and I shall pay no atten tion to the attacks. It's going to take all my tlmo and attention to do the work I have before me. "I havo made no Bpeclul plans bo caUKC It Is better thoroughly to fa millarlzo yourself with the work and the bltuation Unit before making sug gestions. And I n m not u person to offer suggcitlon unless I am con vinced they mem for the better. I shall be In charge ot the extensivo activities of thu school, which will include the continuation and evening .cliools. vlMiiil ciliH-.iiliiii. vacation schools and pl.i.sgioumls. iccrcation centres, athletic centre anil lectures. All of which Is without the bchools, or the regular uouituh. "I feel that this work Is going to help tremendously in making good cit izens and In developing democracy. You can't have good citizens unless you have healthy boys and girls. When I find a boy who Isn't getting on as ho shoultl. who Is Inattentive or Interested In things lie shouldn t be. I tell him to go nnd swing from tho top of a door If thcro Is nothing else to help him exercise. Excrciso Is a wholesome antidote for much that re tards a boy's best development. I um particularly Interested In the athletic and recreation feature o' my work I'll know more- about It after a few months than I do now." GAY BOY 0' NIGHTS IS TRUCK HELD AS BIGAMIST Good Dancer, Says Second Wife, Who. Joins Com plaint With His Hirst. Truck driver by day, by night n gay habitue of dancing ncnmedlcs, Thomas A.

The two women got together and tho nrrest followed. Edward W. McDonald, No. CI Chambers Street, counsel for Maude. asked Adelaide if sho didn't havo two husbands. Sho denied It strenuously, but McDonald said he wanted to pre sent sonic evidence, nnd tho caso was adjourned until to-morrow. Meade was held meanwhile In $2,000 bail. DEAD MIAN STALLS B. R. T.

Many men .uul wo.non took to tho tracks and ran .tho risk of the third rail to escniie. Tho police nrranged tho passcngcts In lines, agents U-gan handing out block tickets and the excited men and women wero escorted to tho street and don to tho .trolley loops below Do Innccy Street. Hero they wero little better off, becauso all tho trolleys wero overcrowded. , Along tho line, at all Brooklyn sta tions, thcro wero similar scenes dur ing tho two hours It tcquircd to Jaok up tho train, cxtrlcato tho body and turn on tho power ciguln. At tho (Jutes Avcnuo station, In Brooklyn, tho platforms wero choked with crowds from thrcp theatres. Tho B. It. T. put Into operation on clear tracks over tho brldgo a shuttle scrvlco, but it waa not rrrucli help Mnnhattatr-bound trains ' discharged their passengers at tho Marcy Avenue station in Brooklyn, and tho shuttles brought them to Manhattan.
