$87,147,561 SCHOOL
. BUDGET IS RECORD
Board of Education Almost
Doubles 1918 Demand
for Funds.
SALARY EAISES SOUGHT
Board of Estimnto Is Expected
to Swat Requests for Ap
propriations. The Board of Education prepared yes
terday a tasty dleh for the Board of E
jlmate and Apportionment to make hash
f later. Tho tentative budget It adopted
tor this year, 187,147,561, la considerable
bf a chance from tho tentative budget
bf 1918, which was only $49,599,834.
And In addition to the Item of 82,638,315
made necessary In the current budget
because the board went short of building
funds last year and had to borrow, and
must now take up Its notes, and to pther
item of similar size which naturally had
to be talked about, the confabulation was
bonstantly being delayed by things such
fta Board Member Mrs. Emma Murray
demanding 82 a week more for her sec
retary, and everybody from the Presi
dent down Instantly following her lead
and demanding appropriations for their
secretaries and stenographers and ofllco
boys and so on.
Guesses were freely made by those
tratslde the conference room that there
yma no hope or expectation that the
comfortable budget prepared by the ex
perts of Fifty-ninth street would be rec
ognized by Its progenitors when It came
eft the operating table at Cty Hall.
The Item of $42,000,000 for mlarles, for
Instance, was expected to be questioned.
Vayoc Hylan being known to object
strenuously to the Increase In teachers'
alartea granted by tho Legislature,' an
increase, he declares, that will cost the
Oetty $20,000,000 a year, whereas school
HuthoriUes say that estimate Is much too
touch. An Increase of $4,000,000 Is what
they allow for.
The budget aa presented for dlscus
plon yesterday was divided Into a gen
eral school fund of $47,904,692 and a
(Dedal school fund of $8,273,789. In ad
dition there Is tho Item of $2,583,315
pvhlch will be needed to take up short
term notes that were Issued to make
good deficiencies In the 1918 building
programme, and for new buildings In
1918 $26,889,497 Is asked.
Repairs to old buildings are provided
. tor In 1920 by an Item of $3,282,899, an
' fsoreue of $2,355,899 over last year.
The board Is, starting a three year pro
Brtunme of urgent repairs, some of the
Older schools being really unfit for use
without being fixed up. The sum of
fl.930,641, $600,000 more than was ap
propriated In 1918, Is requested for books
nnd supplies. Fuel next year will cost
1,347,078, an Increase of $627,499 over
this year, and even the Janitors will cost
considerably more. Last year they were
placated with $2,185,970, and thta year
.they must have $3,319,970. There are
COO of them.
The continuation schools required by
the new law, demanding that all boyst
and girls under 16 who have not grad
uated from high school must attend a
school at least four hours a week, will
take $90,000. According to the law they
noed not be opened until September 1,
3620, but the Board of Education Is
planning to start them in January with
50,000 pupils.
When the- members of the board
finally filed, out of the president's room
after their long and weary conclave It
Was announced that they had added a
natter of almost two millions to the
185,600,000 tentative budget they began
with In the morning. They had unan
imously adopted a budget of $87,147,561,
smd they sternly said that this was
final and the one that would be laid
'down beforj the Board of Ultimate and
(Apportionment. The Increase was sld
to be due chiefly to an item of $1,500,000
for "a proposed Board of Education
building to replace the present one,
which has never been repaired since a
disastrous flre In 1918. It would take
$200,000 to repair It now.
Officials said th&t not In twenty years
Inad a budget given as much concern as
the present one, and Mr. Prall declared
tbat the board had labored diligently to
cut it to the bono.

SCHOOL HEAD
BREAK STRIKE OF PUPILS
But Kids Hide. Away and
Breach to Go On Until Beloved Prin
cipal Is Reinstated.
The scheme which Superintendent of
Schools George C. Smith had yesterday
for breaking the pupils' strike at Clifton,
N. J was simple. In fact It looked so
easy that he wondered no one had1
thought of It the day before. He de
cided to let Gcorgo do It
George, who Is also called Mr. Elsen
hauer, Is a truant officer, and Superin
tendent Smith Just told him that It was
up to him to go to Clifton and gather all
of those. 194 militant kids under his
arms and carry them kicking and
squirming off to school.
But when George arrived on the' scene
he found Clifton Just as depopulated of
kids as It tho Pled Piper had been
along before him and had piped, them
all over Die hills and far away. It was
tho quietest and peacefulest town he
had ever laid eyes on. From the time
when the old bells of the Albion place
school rang out their summons In early
morn until the teachers wended their
homeward way not ono Infant stirred
on tho broad highways. Cats and dogs
were in their glory as they prowled the
streets Immune from Innocent child
hood's pranks. But George Elsenhauer
was steeped in gloom as he paced back
and forth and peered behind trees and
shrubbery for the clusvo Juveniles, find
ing nary a one.
At length George cavo up' in despair.
He decided that It would be an easier
HALF HOLIDAY IS

Machinists Will Lay Off on

Having failed to get a concession of
the forty-four hour week, 33,500 mem
bers of the International Association of
Machinists will quit work under orders
from the union heads to-day, tako the
afternoon off and return to work Mon
day morning. By so doing they avoid a
strike, but -they will get the forty-four
r.our week. They Intend, to take Satur
day afternoons off the remainder of the
month and on October 1 will submit de
mands for pay Increases of 25 per cent.
when there may be a walkout. There
was no Indication of tho attitude which
the employers would assume toward the
workers' declaration of a half holiday.
A shipyard strike may be called to
day after 'a meeting in Palace Hall,
rwcnty-thlrd street and Third avenue,
Brooklyn, of workers of the Tebo Yacht
Gas In and the Robins Dry Dock and Re
pair Company. Tho demands are to be
formulated then. A report was received
at the Downey Shipbuilding Corporation
that the workmen would quit at 12
o'clock to-day and tho Standard Ship
building Corporation did not expect the
men to return for the afternoon. Boiler
makers and shipbuilders In Jersey City
voted on a strike call, but tho result was
not made known. Tho men are em
ployed In Weehawkcn and Hoboken.
JEALOUS LOVE PUTS
TWO IN HOSPITAL
Husband Uses Axe to Chas
tise His Wife.
After inflicting Injuries upon his wife
from which it is said she cannot recover
and then cutting his own throat, Norman
Snyder of Wlnchcll Mountain, In Con
necticut, and his wife were taken to the
same hospital in Sharon, Conn., thirty
miles away. Each Is thoroughly con
vinced that nothing can kill their love.
which, each said, la responsible for their
precarious condition. And this Is how It
occurred :
Mrs. Snyder, a pretty young woman,
wished to accompany 'Anthony Donahue,
the beau of the mountain, to the' movies
In Mlllcrton, N. Y., a little town snug
ging at the foot of the hill Just over the
State line. Anthony Is not without local
fame, having been shot at twice from
the darkness on the mountain. Anthony
always has been popular.
He and Mrs. Snyder started to the
movies. Mr. Snyder learned of her In
tention and her escort and followed with
an axe. He overtook Mrs. Snyder and
struck her many times with the blade,
cutting eleven gashes In her head. Injur
ing her brain, broke her fingers, blacked
her eyes nnd otherwise chastised her.
Beaten and bleeding, believing tnat she
wan ilvlncr. Rhn tnM him that she "loved
him Just as much as evir" una kissed
him good-by. She was rushed In an
automobile to the hospital In Sharon,
the only one within thirty miles of Win-
chell Mountain.
Mr. Snyder was so touched at his
wife's attitude that he promptly cut his
throat. He was bundled Into another
car and taken to the hospital too. After
an operation upon his wife she regained
consciousness long enough to send a mes
sage of undying devotion to him. He
sent a similar message to her and con
tinued to send them until he lost con
sciousness from loss of blood.
Mr. Donahue had not been found on
or under tho mountain during the night.

linquent kids to court and make them
answer for their conduct, and with that
In view he gathered a bunch of names
and returned to Superintendent Smith.
But there Is one kid In Clifton who Is
In for an awful licking from the other
kids. Yesterday the pickets saw htm
marohlng right in the front door with
ihls books while a powerful maternal
parent acted as bodyguard. Just watt
till ho tries to go to school without his
mother 1
The kids who had vanished during
school hours had all been piped back In
some mysterious manner last night, and
they celebrated their strike by marching
the streets and banging on dlshpans and
producing sweet and harmonious sounds
with the aid of tin cans. Grownup folk
trying to read their papers didn't all like
this stuff, but the mothers who are sup
porting the strike of the kids went ahead
with plans for a big mass meeting to be
held on Monday night. Then they will
voice their Indignation over the removal
of Principal Peffer after he had refused
to pass the son of WlllUm C. Jackson,
president of tho Board of Education, In
examinations. "We will find out whether
Jackson la the Cur of Clifton," said
Mrs. Mary Townoend, one of the leaders
of the movement.
Among the banners carried by kids In
the streets last night was one reading,
"Don't vote for William C. Jackson."
Jackson is running for member of the
City Council., Mrs. Herbert Fenner, wife
of his opponent. Is aiding Uie strike.
PAPER MOVED, BUT
STRIKE IS STILL ON
Publishers, However, Say
Pressmen Are Weakening.
Rolls of paper that had remained out
side the plant of the Publishers Print
ing Co.. 207 West Twenty-fifth street,
for several days were taken In yester
day Snd the publishers consider the
moving of the paper a defeat for the
striking pressmen and paper handlers
of their plant who have been on strike
ilnce Saturday.
The strike probably Is the most com
plicated that has come to publio atten
tion tn some time. James J. Bagley of
franklin Union 23, and Bernard Nolan,
president of Pressmen's Union 51, thoj
two unions principally affected by the
strike, say they are affiliated with the
A. F. of L. In a statement issued by the
Publishers Printing Co., the latter say
ihey are operating a strictly union shop
and the local unions have revolted from
the A. F. of 1. The strikers are called
members uf the dissenting union by the
printing company's statement, which
also says that besides scoring a moral
victory by the moving of the 15,0(7!)
pounds of paper that had been on tho
sidewalk they also received a large
quantity of Ink.
' Tho striking union had stated that
this paper would not be taken into tho
plant and the Issues of several magH
zlnes, among them the JAterary Digett,
would not be got out. The Publish
ing company denies that the Dtgett
was prevented by the strike ftom get
ting out Its edition.

SAYS BDRR GOT CAR
WRIT IMPROPERLY
Manhattan and Queens Lino's
Counsol Attacks City Of
ficial's Affidavit.
HEARING IS ADJOURNED
Hylan Representative Declares
Nixon Has No Right to
Interfere.
Justice Finch, sitting In Part I., Spe
cial Term of the Supreme Court, heard
counsel for both sides yesterday on the
application of Corporation Counsel Burr
for a writ of prohibition directing Lewis
Nixon, Public Service Commissioner, o
desist from further proceedings In tho
application of the receivers for the Man
hattan and Queens Traction Corporation
for an Increase In the rates of fares
Jon that company's lines. He granted
until Wednesday for the filing of briefs,
'although Corporation Counsel Burr said
1 he was prepared to file his Immediately, j
and adjourned further hearing of the
arguments until Thursday.
Everj seat Inside the court room rail
was filled with an array of attorneys
representing all Uie traction companies
In Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx,
who listened attentively to the argu
ments of the Corporation Counsel,
Terence Farley, counsel for the Public
Service Commission, nnd Vincent B.
Robertson, representative of William R.
Begg and Arthur C. Hume, receivers of
the traction line, whose application for
a hearing Tuesday brought about the
prohibitory writ. 1
Mr. Robertson asserted that the ap
plication of the receivers for permission
to Increase the fare on the Manhattan
and Queens lines was not a test case
upon which the other companies under
the Jurisdiction of the Publio Service
Commission might see fit to act later.
He said :
"The receivers of this line never could
keep pace with the Increased cost of
operation. In August, we were forced
to give employees a 10 per cent wage
increase and this was followed recently
by a 16 per cent Increase. We can
get no new money and unless an In
crease of fare Is obtained we muFt stop
operating. We do not seek the abroga
tion of existing contracts with the city
and relief Is asked as an emergency
measure. Neither Is It sought In order
to pay a return on tho money tied up
In the company, but it is felt that the
blow of the lines discontinuing will fall
eventually upon all citizens having prop
erty if people who get service do not
pay Its full value.
Corporation Counsel Burr, supporting
the writ of prohibition application, called
particular attention to one point In the
traction company's contract with the
city which provides that in case of vio
lations of the fare terms the property of
the corporation would revert to the
City of New York on ten days' notice.
Mr. Burr said that the Public Service
Commissioner has no right to Interfere
with a contract existing between a pub.
11c service corporation and a municipal
ity and that this contention was borne
out by a recent decision of the Court of
Appeals. Continuing, ho said:
There Is a great danger. If the Pub
lie Service Commissioner Is right In his
contention as to his power to change
rates. Railroads, whenever they find
themselves In temporary financial diffi
culties, might appeal to him and have
fares Increased out of hand."
Mr. Farley contended that as a matter
of law the writ of prohibition which now
ties the hands of the Public Service
Commissioner was Improperly granted.
He referred to' Mr. Burr's affidavit upon
which the writ was Issued as an "ex
traordinary document called an affi
davit which cites the Constitution.
Railway Law, Public Service Law and
Court of Appeal, decisions over the
Corporation Counsel's signature." He
said Mr. Burr failed to disclose his
sources of Information and grounds for
belief that the meetftig which he sought
to have prohibited was called for the
purpose of Increasing the fares on the
traction lines In question. Mr. Farley
denied that there was any Indication
that such was the purpose or the meet
ing. All the attorneys clamored for an
Immediate decision, but failed to agree
on the proposition that the stay be va
cated to permit the Public Service Com
missioner, who was an Interested audi
tor, to proceed with his Investigations.

"At their head was Pershing,"

Pershing's war record says
wherever there was duty, dan
ger or desperate undertaking,
Pershing headed the column.
Big soldiers, like General
Grant, do not talk much; they
simply do things.
When Pershing visited La
fayette's tomb in Paris on his
birthday to put a wreath upon
it, he simply said, -
rLafayette, we are here'
Doing things, getting the mer
chandise the people want, even
if we have to go .to the other
