AFFECTED Since Last February, When School- | house Burned, Storc Had Been Used, But This Has Since Been Sold—Education Dept. Intercsted. Hartford, Aug. 10.—The power of the state to compel a town to pro- vide school facilities for all the chil- dren in the town under chapter 390 of the statutes of 1921 may be in- voked in the" case of the town of Colzhester where 20 children are without a place to attend school as a result of the burning of the tenth district schoolhouse last February. State Aid Sought. The children finished out the last school year in a vacant store but since June the store has been sold and will not be available this fall. The district, which has a grand list of only about $20,000 and which is five or six miles from the center of the village petitioned the state board of education under the new law to| see what could be done for the chil- dren this coming year. A committee from the state board consisting of Principal Charles L. Ames of the Brown school, Charles L. Torrey of Putnam and George R. Sturgess, the board’s prosecuting agent, visited Colchester and talked the matter over with the selectmen of the town and with the district committee. No Action As Yet. Mr. Ames said today that the committee did not find that the selectmen had refused to provide a ghool for the tenth district and said that no action had been taken by the board of education or would be taken until the submission of a plan by the selectmen. The question of transporting the children to another district in the village was gone over but as the distance is six miles to the nearest schoolhouse over a bad road which is almost impassable in the winter season the plan was abag- doned. A portable school was also suggested and may be considered by the Colchester officials. Marks New Departure. Although the state board ‘commit- tee found Colchester officials apparent- ly Willing to co-operaté with the dis- trict in solving the problem and although the board has not actually compulsion, ‘he very fact that a state board of education is empowered by law to require a plan for a school in a local community marks a new departure in the educational administration of the state. The new law passed by the last session of the state legisla- ture makes it possible for the state board of education to withhold state funds from a town which resists its decrees as to the provision of edu- cational facilities.

Paris, Auz. 10. (By Associated Press.)—The allied supreme council put the Silesian question, now ap- parently near a definite settlement temporarily aside today while await- ing the report of the experts engaged in drawing the new boundary line be- tween Poland and Germany in this area as agreed upon in principle be- tween France and England yesterday. The experts infermed the council that they expected to be ready to present their conclusions, embodying the complete frontier line, by seven o’clock this cvening. Thereupon the council decided that it would mean- while discuss the Greco-Turkish situa- tion and German dlsarmament ques- tlons. Strict Neutrality. In taking up the former subject the council decided unanimously to adopt an attitude of strict neutrality in the Greco-Turkish war, without iterfering with trading by private firms with either of the belligerent countries. Ambassador Harvey said ‘this de- cision was in conformity with the policy of the United States previous to its entering the World War and he concurred in the council’s finding. Premier Lloyd George in a speech advocating neutrality on the part of the allies and Central powers, add- conflict, referred to American neu- trality during the -war when the American market was open to both the allies and the entral powers, add- ing that- the latter were unable to take advantage of the purchase of war materials on account of the British blockade. He asked Ambassa- dor Harvey if such was. his under- standing of the question and the lat- ter answered that this was fully ‘in accord with the American viewpoint.

New York, Aug. 10.—Mayor John F. Hylan, who resumed the witness stand today at the second public hearing of the legislative committee investigating his administration, attacked the state legislature for ‘‘legislation telling the people of New York city how to spend their money."” During his examination by the com- mittee’s counsel the mayor objected to legislation which had required an an- nual increase of thousands of dollars in the pay of New York city school teachers. He said, however, under re- lentless questioning, that he believed the increases proper. He declared he did not object to the ‘‘figures of any- body’s wages, but I do object to the wages being fixed at Albany by man- datory legislation.” Elon R. Brown the committee’s coun- sel, asked the mayor if he regarded education as a state function. ‘‘Some state authorities,’” replied Mr. Hylan, ‘“have regarded it as a state function in every possible way save paying the bills.” Later the mayor conceded that he ‘‘supposed that education was regarded as a state function in all other cities.’” At the opening of the hearing Mr. Brown apologized to the committee for using the term *‘blood money’’ yester- day in reference to- what the city paid for loans to meet its pressing tempor- ary debts in 1914. ‘‘While I had no thought that the action of the syndicate of New York benks which floated the loan was an improper one, it would look so in print,”’ he Said. - “The mayor in questioning-that fol- lowed declined to give any definite an- swer$ to questions concerning the huge debts of the city and -its tremendous experiditures. - ““I: think so” was his its .dividend of $§1.75 on common stock, ‘but declared its regular quarterly divid- end; of $1.75 _on preferred.

Hartford, Aug. 10.—Avery V. Toohey, publisher of the Connecticut Legion News. the official organ of the American Legion in this state is in- volved in & controversy with the state executive committee of the Legion, a violation of contract on his part being charged. Legion officials claim that the mag- azine ceased to exist with the publi- cation of the July issue, but that Toohey is still soliciting advertising matter for a convention number to be issued in September. The Connecticut Legion News be- came a defunct publication the Legion executive committee claims on July 30 when at a meeting of the state ex- ecutive committee held in New Haven it was voted to terminate the con- tract for publication with Avery V. Toohey for violation of the existing contract on the grounds that he had not notified the proper persons as to its contents; that in the etching and printing of the July issue the read- ing matter was never submitted to the proper persons for sanction; that the publisher had not devoted enough of his time to make the publication a hich class one; and that there had never been any April, May or June is- sues. As Toohey ciaims that the contract was never violated he is going ahead with his preparations for the Septem- ber issue. In the July issue of the News Avery V. Toohey is announced as the publisher and Thomas J. Bannigan as the editor. The rmatter is poorly set up and the proof reading is faulty. Several articles appear without any neadings and according té Legion offi- ials this shows evidence of inexcus- ..«b‘l; carelessness.

He said he personally conceived the plan, with- out suggestions from anybody. His plan he said was approved by Presi- dent Harding, Secretary Mellon- and Secretary Hoover.
