HOOVER TOSTODY TAGNA-ARIGA ROW Will S0 First-Hand Cile-Poru Dispate VU. 8. §. Maryland, Nov. 22 P— Having demonstrated his prowess as a deep-sea fisherman, Herbert Hoover pressed on today on his good-will tour to Latin America. The Maryland this morning was ploughing steadily through tropical ‘waters off the Mexican coast three days distant from Amapala, Hon- duras, the president-elect’s first port of eall. High Spot of Trip The fishing expedition off Cape San Lucas, on the southern tip of lower California, proved the high spot of the voyage since San Pedro, Calif., was left behind. The presi- dent-elect hauled in two fish—one a fifteen pound dolphin and the other a five pound mackerel. Three othe members of the party snared one¢ fish each in 45 minutes of sport. Wears Old Clothes Laying aside his natty yachting | costume of the yeoman's cap, blue | coat and white trousers for old togs, Mr. Hoover left the great battleship, which hove to five miles off shore, in & small boat. He approached the cape and went to a stop where, he had been informed by radio, great fish had been hooked by friends a year or 80 ago. Captain Victor A. Kimberly acted as patrol captain to keep off any interference from small boats that might come from the only town along the barren stretch of rocky coastline. Mr. Hoover rigged his reel and shed his coat and was ready for fishing by the time the boat reached the entrance to a small bay. He first used a spinner, but after ten minutes had passed without a strike, he changed to a silver minnow. Snares Dolphin Bcarcely had the line been reeled out wien a dolphin, one of the fast- est fish, struck, and the battle was on. Back and forth the fish darted but after a quarter of an hour Mr. Hoover brought the fish to the sur- face where the catch was gaffed by & naval officer. Mr. Hoover made no comment but there was a high- 1y pleased expression on his face as the boat moved back and forth over & wide arc. Mr. Hoover then hooked the mackerel which made one swift run and then was drawn in. In the meantime Mark Sullivan had struck conce and lost. Then Mr. Hoover and Mr. Bullivan had strikes simul- taneously, but their lines became crossed. The president-elect lost his reel and Mr. Sullivan hauled in a fif- ten pound dolphin just as the bril- liant sun disappeared over the Pa- cific horizon. Orders Boat to Return After a short time without luck, Mr. Hoover ordered his boat to re- turn to the Maryland and signalled to his friends who were more than & mile awsy. Just then George Akerson, the president-elect's secre- tary, and Edwin McIntosh, of New York, who were in another boat be- gan to battle with two 12-pouna bonitas which they landed within ten minutes. Darkness had descended over the Pacific as Mr. Hoover came up the sangplank of the Maryland under the glare of a searchlight. Mrs. Hoover who had been watching the jagged coast where the fishing par- ties were during the hour and a halt they were away, crowded to the side of the rail with other members of the party, ship's officers and many enlisted men. Hoover Grins “Let's see them,” Mrs. Hoover sald. ‘The president-elect grinned. Behina him was a sailor carrying the catcn in a bag. The whole company pressed around as the big bag was emptlea before their eager eyes and mur- | murs and exclamations ran over the crowd. Mr. Hoover had a slight smile on his face but said nothing. He went quickly to another decx with Mrs. Hoover to await the @cc- ond boat He seemed highly inter- ested in their catch but offered no comment. Others had varying names for the two big fish the second boat brcgshy in but the president-elect pronounc- ed them bonitas and bonitas they re- mained although some officers in- sisted at first that they were ship- Jacks. The catch remained on deck for an hour while sailors took turns | in viewing them. Then the fish were stowed away for future con- sumption, with the mackerel to grace the Hoover's table today. 17 Knot Speed The boats were quickly brought on board the Maryland which turned her prow toward Central America. She set oft at a speed of 17 knots which she held throughout the night. Mr. Hoover may fish again in Ecuadorean watrs before his visit | to Ecuador. which is his first place to call in South America. The Maryland is expected to arrive in the Gult of Fonesca on Sunday and Mr. Hoover will then visit the ports of Amapala, Honduras, and La Unlon, Salvador. As the vessel continued southward today plans for the trip northward from Rio Janeiro on the U. 8. S. Utah were still under discussion. To Stop at San Jose ‘The only Central American capital to be visited in San Jose, Costa Rica. where Hoover will journey by auto- mobile from the port of Punta Arenas. Times and distance will pre- vent overland journeys to other Central American capitals. For these reasons also when he reaches Guayaquil, Ecuador, Mr. Hoover will be unable to visit the capital at Quito. He does plan, however, to Journey inland to Lima from the port of Callao, Peru To Visit Valparaiso The Hoover party will leave the Maryland at Valparaiso, Chile. From Valparaiso, Hoover will g0 to San- tlago for a stay of a day and night He will start across the Andes in a special train early in the morning so that the run between the daylight. The special train will stop long enough to permit the p spect the statue the Andes” which was erected in com- memoration of the adjustment of the boundary line between Chile and Argentina. 5 The second night of the train journey will be spent in crossing the Argentine Pampas and Buenos Aires {will be reached the next morning. There Mr. Hoover will board the battleship Utah and go to Monte. video, Uruguay. 8ince the Utah muat anchor about 70 miles out he will |have less than a day in the Uruguayan capital. {MISS McGILL GRANTED $503.73 for Back Salary. Miss Minnie McGill of 31 Frank- lin square was rendered a judgment of $503.72 by a jury verdict in the against the firm of Davison & Lev- enthal, s back salary due her un- der an alleged agreement. In her testimony before the jury iand Judge Howard, Miss McGill stated that she was engaged by Sam- el M. Davidson, senior member of the dry goods firm, to work for the store as head saleswoman in 1922 at a salary of $60 per week, but re- ceived only $50, according to figures | paid at the end of the year. This ar- rangement was continued until July |12, 1924, she sald, when she went on a vacation, but the $10 difference for that period had not been paid, The plaintiff further testified that jon August 1, of that year she re- ceived & letter from the firm that unless she could explain why she tried to make purchases from a wholesale house, and why she ac- cepted a gift from a wholesale house of a suit valued at $4.50, her serv- ices would no longer be required. Upon recelpt of this letter she de- cided not to return to the store and instituted suit for $10 a week from January 1, 1924, until July 12, 1924, and for $60 a week from the latter date to August 1, 1924. The defendant, Mr. Davidson, con- tended that she was to receive $50 a week and a bonus of the end of the year of not less than $500, for services, but because of unsatisfac- tory work, she was not entitled to the additional payments, he claimed. Judge William F. Mangan represent- ed the plaintiff and Attorney Gen. eral Benjamin W. Alling was coun- sel for the business firm.

(Continued from First Page) order to pass a resolution. President King Replies “Thers is no need of an outside educator or administrator for a sur- vey of the entire school system of this city. New Britain has in its service one of the outstanding edu- cators and school administrators in this section of the country. The school board had the advantage of his study of the matter so that it really did what the mayor's special committee asks in its report. I re- fer to Supt. Stanley H. Holmes.” | Thus did President P. F. King of ithe school board today answer the {recommendation of the mayor's ispecial committee of seven whose |report was given to the mayor yes- | terday. It disapproved of the con- {struction of an addition to the Senior High school building. King ‘also pointed out that the board had |the benefit of an impartial expert |from the state department of cdy» i cation in strengthening its stand for |the erection of the addition. His answer was made to a recom- | mendation of the mayor’s commit- | {tee which came at the end of its; {report. Over the signatures of for- | !mer Mayor George A. Quigley, chairman, and Henry P. Smith, sec- | retary, the committee made the fol- | |lowing stutement: | “Therefore your committee feels that it is imperative that an edu-' cator and school administrator be secured to make a general survey of | the entire school system of New: Britain, We recommend that this person making the survey be hired | from outside the state of Connec- ticut. We would further recom- mend that the person making this | survey be hired by the mayor acting under the authority of the common | council.” ! Calls Sr. H. §. Important Problem Contrary to the opinion of the in- | vestigating comn:i* . Mr. King be- | lleves that the m¢ miportant prob- lem is the Benior . :h school situa- tion, secondly the Junfor High school, and lastly the elementary schools. The mayor’s committee re- ported that the elementary Junior and Benior High school problems, in| the order nmamed, were important. Mr. King believes the elementary schools are in a better way than at any time since the World war. Speaking about the Junior High school recommendations Mr. King said the Rooscvelt school was not ideal as a junior high school but was certainly very satisfactory. The special committee said the school was not properly located at the ex- treme eastern section of the city. Mr. King declared that the school was in a section ideal for the our- door extra-curricular work which is %0 necessary in the higher grades and in conclusion pointed to the custom in vogue in many modern cities which build schools on the outskirts so that children will be going away from the center of con- geation. o Dividing Schools “The Junior High school system of ventilation would make it very difficult for the school rooms to be| divided as is proposed by the may- or's committee,” Mr. King said, | pointing to the fact that the divi- | slon of the rooms would be more than “merely building a partition through the larger rooms.” The school board president did not think it would be economical, he said. One of the other points brought out in the report, a comparison of the New Britain High school with the high schools of New Haven, Hartford and Waterbury was unfair, Mr. King believes. He said the New Haven school is conducted under a two-platoon plan which is some- thing the school authorities of this city do not want. Dentes Puplls-Per-Class Report It was Chairman King's opinion that the committee must have in- cluded many rooms in the school which are not class rooms to bring | the total of Benior High school rooms to 62. The special committee included in f{ts report a statement that the Senior High school has only 20 pupils per class while Hartford and Waterbury has 26 each and New Haven has 39. Had the com: mittee considered building rooms and 21 academic building rooms the number of pu- pils per class would have been greater, he promised. He pointad to the survey by the state education department experts, Oscar Fitzsimmons and R. H. Thompson, who declared that the Senior High achool has utilized its space as much as can be expected. Comparing the New Britain system with 58 other cities of average size, has a very high percentage, | King declared. | The space used for typewriting, |academic work, art and design, physical work, clothing, domestic | he added. Calls Other Criticism Vague Mr. King refused to comment on |a statement of the committee that the system and supervision at the | high school rather than the build- ing capacity is the direct cause of | the *so-called over-crowded condi: tions.” Mr. King said a statement of this | type should not be answered until lit is backed by facts and until he | was enlightened further as to the { meaning which the committee in- tended to convey he would not make any comment.
