General denial of all allegations made in the million dollar breach of promise siit filed against him by Evan Burrows Fontaine, the dancer, was made by Cornellus Vanderbilt ‘Wijitney in an answer filed in fed- ergl court here today. ‘ Young Whitney, former Yale ‘ath- 1et@, and member of one of the na- tion’s “first families,” also asks the court to issue an injunction pre- véhting further prosecution. “The answer to the suit denies ¢ifat Whitney is the father of Miss Fohtaine's three-year old child, and sets forth that the dancer's parents attempted to trick him into an un- welcome marriage with the former *Pollies” girl. “Tho alleged attempted “frameup” ‘was made inwthe Taft hotel, New Haven, Conn., when Miss Fontaine inveigled him to her room and there in the presence of her father and masther accused him of being the father of the child she was expect- ing, according to Whitney's answer. Young Whitney further charged that during his acquaintance with the girl she was married to Sterling Zu! Adair, although she posed as a single woman. The next step in the degal battle which has been waged br Miss Fontaine for many months ‘will come when court either upholds aWibitney's answer and dismisses the eharses, or decides the answer is 4usufficlent and orders the case to Srial. ———————____ ATILITY MEN? ~ GATHER HERE (Continued from Page One.)

Walker, and showed very careful prepara: tion on tho part of the author. The paper clearly and concisely set forth upon what issues every Sreat political party of this republic has been formed and for what length of time ft has functioned as a fac- tor of any strength. The pertinency of the theme to the thought of the hour ‘naturally pro. voked a large amount of discussion not only upon political platforms of today but upon the relationship of Political parties to government—good or bad.

After twenty-five years’ experience as a teacher, I can -truthfully say that \judged from a business or pro-| fessional standpoint the school sys tem now maintained in this district is' the best with which I have’ ever) -been connected. 'To you members of the boafd ‘of education I wish to express my appreciation for your wise council and the vast amount of time you haye given to the busi- ness of the schools. With’ each, of you, school. business takes preced- ence over personal business, else it would not be possible to have at times three or ‘four board meetings w wetk, and°in ono‘instance three meetings in one day. ‘Increased enrollment continues to be the major problem in the ad- ministration of the schools.” For the past threo years the growth from year to year has been a little more than 33-1-3 per cerit.. Last year the school: census, ages fivé to 20 inclu- sive, im this district was 5,810. ‘This year, there ‘have been’ mang. pre- dictions ‘that that rate of: growth was not continuing. There was never any such notion 1m the minds of the (school authorities.. “The school. census this spring gave a total of 8,547, which is an increase of 2,787, or 47.1 per cent more than last year. It {s doubtful whether any other city or school district in the United States is confronted with a problem similar: to that which faces this board of education each year. Not only must we provide for the pupils who are with us the pre- ceding year but. provision must be made for this large increased en- rollment which for next year will approximate 50 per cent. “The enrollment. in the schools for the school year 1922-23 was 5,158. For the year just closed the actual enrollment was. 6,587, of an in- creased enrollment of 1,429. New buildings, Seats,” text books, -and general equipment must be proyided out of last year’s tax levy to take care of these new pupils. “Ordinarily, new capital outlay {s not a large per cent of school costs, but with us it is a tremendous item, always approaching 33 1-3 per cent, and for the’ next year, as above mentioned, indicating 50 per cent. Those living outside of this district are prone to think of us as a rich district, but fail to take Into account the expense which {s involved in the building of a new city. In spite of this provision |which must be made for new pupils.the schools have. been so adminirtered that school costs .per pupil’ in’ this dis- trict, according to the last figures which aro available, are lower than the average in the state. “Last year at’ this time the pro- ceeds of the bond issue for the new high school had just become avatl- able. The prepartaion of plans and spécifications for a structure of this size and importance is no small undertaking. It is expected that the contract for’ this. building will be let Tuesday. There may be some criticism because the contract has not been ‘let’ before this ‘but in the case .of schoo! buildings of such cost it is certainly time that “An ounce of prevention,is worth a pound of cure.” Contracts » could school system: GENERAL CONTROL— School elections, superintende: oftice INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICE: Text books Supervision, chers’ principals, a salaries - OP.

CHICAGO, June 91. — (United Press.)}—Merger of five nationally known grain marketing companies of Chicago with the 5,000 farmers co-operative agencies of the coun- try,, appeared imminent here to- night. The American’ Farm Bureau Federation held the prime factor in the proposed consolidation, issued a Statement regarded as favorable to the plan. A committee of the federation with President Bradfute as chair rao, ngw is conaldering the febsl- bility of the merger. Under the plan the Armour Grain company, Rosen- baum Brothers, Bartlett-Frazier and company; C. J. Shaffer and com: pany; qnd the Rosenbaum Grain corporation would geil thelr machin- ery anf other assets to the farmer organizations. The deal would in- volye some $25,000,000, it is esti mated, anc) would handle about 76 per. cent of the entire grain output of the country. Bradfute issued a statement point- Ing out tho derirability of a great co-operative agency. An ugency of this sort might bring’ about the long sought shorter channel between producer and consumer, he sald. “We now market two thirds of the entire tobacco crop through oo- operative channels,” Hradfute said. “The bulk of the California raisin crop and many other crops are mar. keted through co-operative agencies, and the » reason why all other the Alcova road.
