Vacation is over.

Back to school flocked hundreds of thousands of youngsters today after a recess of ten weeks. If there were any regrets over the reopening of school they were not apparent, for the youngsters seemed to be anxious to get back to their studies. By 8 o'clock they began assembling outside their schools and half an hour later nearly the entire school population of the city was awaiting admission to the buildings. The high school students were as eager 10 get back to work as the younger element and they, too, went out early. There was little lateness anywhere in the city.

The parochial schools also opened today with their thousands of pupils, so that in the city it is safe to say that at least 1,000,000 boys and girls opened their books for the new term. There is considerable variance in the estimates of the registration in public schools. The figures for the elementary institutions range from 761,000 to 785,000, and in the high schools from 72,000 to 75,000, while for all schools the total is likely to be between 835,000 and 850,000. The exact figures will not be available fore Friday. The principals were supposed to report to Superintendent Schools William L.

Ettinger the registration and attendance up to Wednesday afternoon. As Wednesday has been declared a holiday in honor of the return of Gen. Pershing, the reports will be sent out tomorrow afternoon, so they will not be delivered to the Hall of the Board of Education until Thursday morning. It will take at least a day to tabulate them. Last June the total number of pupils on part time in elementary schools was 40,976, of whom 21,416 were in Brooklyn and 5,438 in Queens.

Only four rooms have been added to the school facilities of the city in the meantime, so that the total part time is sure to pass the 50,000 mark. The four-room addition to P. S. 158, Belmont ave, and Ashford was opened today. In two of them classes for crippled children were established while by using the other two for part time children six classes were placed in the four rooms.

All the evening high, technical and trade schools will be opened tonight. The parochial high and elementary schools opened today with a registration of approximately 75,000. At the close of the last term there were 52,000 the Brooklyn, 16,000 in the Queens elementary schools and 3,000 in the high schools of the two boroughs. There are 104 elementary and twenty high schools in the two boroughs. The Rev.

Joseph V. McClancy is superintendent of Catholic schools for the Brooklyn diocese. MAJ. SCHROEDER WINS RACE Maj. Rudolph Schroeder, flying a Vought VE-7 training plane, which had been wrecked two weeks earlier and was reconstructed with the aid of spare parts, made the best all-around showing in the International Air Derby between New York and Toronto, held and concluded under the auspices of the American Flying Club last week.

The results of the race with the handicaps applied were given out today and showed Schroeder to be the winner with a score of 107.8 per cent. The money prize for civilians was awarded to R. H. Depew, a Curtiss pilot, who finished twenty-third in the scoring. Lt.

B. W. Maynard, who won the straightaway speed prize, finished ninth in the handicap contest. Besides the first prize of $2,500, which goes to Depew, the other prizes are: Second, $1,500, C. S.

S. Dowling, independent, carried the Democratic primaries over Capt. John J. Kuhn, regular designee, for the Supreme Court nomination was nearly 1,000 votes greater than indicated by the unofficial returns, according to the official count filed with the Secretary of State at Albany, The official majority is 4,087. Dowling carried Kings by Richmond by Nassau by 643 and Suffolk by 26.

Kuhn carried Queens by 1,146.

CAMPBELL "THE FUNERAL CHURCH" (Non-Sectarian) Broadway at 66th Manhattan Downtown Office, 23d St. 8th Av Senate Starts a Probe Of the Mexican Question Washington, September 8-In an investigation of the Mexican situation by a committee of Senators headed by Senator Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, which is txpected to continue several months was opened here today when the committee heard Dr. Samuel G. Inman of New York, an officer of the League of Free Nations, who defended Carranza.

Dr. Inman declared his belief that armed intervention would hold back indefinitely development of the PanAmerican idea. His observations were based on travel in Mexico and other Latin-American countries. Revolutions in Mexico, he thought, had had been educated in mission schools. brought tea the top young men who "We therefore have a strong faith in Mexico's ability to work out her CITIZENS UNION HITS HYLAN'S FARE POLICY Governor Would Be Justified in Considering Mayor's Removal, Says Statement.

Mayor Hylan's policy toward the traction problems the city is one of destruction and spoliation, and a continuance of his attitude would justify Governor Smith in considering his removal, the Citizens declared in a statement issued yesterday. Walter T. Arndt, secretay of the union, who issued the attack, declares that justification for the Mayor's removal lies in his failure to co-operate with Public Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon in adjusting and unraveling the tangled transit situation. "It was urged in support of the bill which removed the then Public Service Commission from office and substituted a single commissioner in charge of public utility regulation and another comissioner in charge of completing subway construction," the statement reads, "that the Governor would be enabled to appoint sioners with whom the city officials would be compelled to co-operate. "The Governor is not at fault.

The Mayor has played the demagogue in his relations with Mr. Nixon even more than in his bickering with the previous commission. Indeed, the Mayor has so far as to threaten to jail Mr. Nixon. "The Mayor's policy throughout appears to be one destuction and spoliation.

To the accompaniment of flaring headlines in the Hearst papers, he simply 'stands pat' upon his position that under no circumstances will the city administration consent to an increase of fare. "The Mayor's purely negative policy appears to be founded upon his absurd belief that, if he can wreck the companies, the city can acquire their properties at the price of scrap. That. of course, would never be permitted by the courts." COLES ELECTED. Glen Cove, L.

Owens had several ribs fractured and his right arm broken.

He was removed by Dr. Cooper to St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, BELGIAN INDUSTRY GOING AGAIN; SOON TO START EXPORTS Stolen Machinery Recovered From Germany Huge Tariff Keeps Native Coal Home. As hardy in peace as it was resolute in war, Belgium has already opened up shop at the old stand and in a short time will be exporting Flemish wares to the United States. By keeping tabs on the machinery which the Germans pilfered from the industrial centers, Belgian manufacturers have been able to get their shops reequipped much faster than was expected.

The coal problem, which was a stumbling block at the cessation of hostilities, has been solved by a huge export tax per ton on the black fuel that is the backbone of industry, with the result that exports have been cut down and home factories are now able to get coal at a reasonable rate. A confidential report has been sent from Antwerp to the offices of Lloyd Royal Belge, 141 Broadway, Manhattan. This line, after losing all its vessels at the hands of German U-boat commanders, is again lining up for resumption of trade to the United States with a fleet of fifty cargo carriers. Parts of this report given out state that shortly after the armistice, the need for coal in France, Sweden and Holland was so great that fat prices offered were a great temptation to Belgian coal dealers to export, but that the imposition of a tax of 15 francs per ton saved the situation for Belgian industry. Coal now costs 60 francs per ton--less than $5-against 30 francs before the war, but at that price Belgians are getting coal cheaper than England or the United States.

With their fuel supply assured, the glass polishing trade found itself ready to resume work almost immediately after the evacuation. By July 1 the whole glass world in the gallant little kingdom was running full tilt. Seven of the largest steel and iron mills in Flanders began to pick up as soon as coal was obtained, and the linen mills, thread mills and cotton mills were right abreast of them in the march on re-habilitation. The report states that manufacturers kept track of almost every single bit of machinery taken from Belgian factories across the Rhine. Practically all of it has now been recovered.

Much was unfit for further use, some had been wantonly destroyed with the coming of the armistice, but a great deal was in shape for quick repair and is now either grinding out recovery to Flemish and Walloon commerce or being installed as quickly as possible for that business. The Belgian people, with the utmost confidence in their military establishment, watched the return of every wheel and belt stolen from their mills and still existant with the same stoical and hopeful calm that bore through the war. The report credits this same spirit as responsible for getting back so much of the looted wheels of industry, for the manufacturers never once lost their belief that ultimate victory to the Allies was assured. Artificial silk, in which the Belgians excelled, will soon be coming across the Atlantic to relieve the present stringency in the American silk markets. The Belgians own most of the patents in this line.

One of their biggest factories was completely destroyed by retreating German troops. Another, though ready for work, was found to have been deliberately flooded by the Germans, and acid-carrying pipes badly rusted. However, with characteristic energy, the owners have been pushing repair work. with the result that export will begin within a short time. The railroad situation is still serious.

Here the German military regime ruthlessly destroyed all the roads in West Flanders and East Flanders. Previously they had replaced Belgian signals German signals and Belgian trainmen were unable to read them. All have been replaced by the pre-war system and now all the lines, except those in old No Man's Land are running full schedules. The Belgians recovered most of their engines and rolling stock after the armistice and also received some fine German equipment. One small sidelight on the foreign exchange chaos comes to light with the arrival of this report.

Years ago, Belgian interests made large investments in the Argentine and China, when the peso and the tael were much below par. Now they have shot away above par, while the franc has broken badly, with the result that these investments are making big returns with more than interest. JOHN JOSEPH FLYNN DIES John Joseph Flynn, 63 years old, of 870 Ocean Flatbush, general superintendent of the torpedo department of the E. W. Bliss Company in the plant at 53d st.

and First South Brooklyn, died suddenly Sunday night of heart failure. He had been in apparently good health, attended a ball game yesterday, sat on his front stoop during the early evening chatting with his family and was stricken shortly before 10 o'clock. Mr. Flynn had been in the employ of the E. W.

Bliss Company for more than forty-six years, beginning with the old firm of Bliss Williams as a general hand about the shops. He was a very active, energetic man; had a fine memory, and soon after entering the employ of the company was promoted to foreman over the laborers; then assistant foreman in the machine shop; then foreman, and he was made general superintendent of the entire works about twenty-five years ago. Since then the Bliss works have grown SO that several heads of departments were necessary, and Mr. Flynn was made superintendent of one of the most important, the torpedo department. He was made a director of the company about twenty-five years ago, and was director at the time of his death.

Mr. Flynn was a special policeman for many years. He was born in the old Fifth Ward on February 7, 1856, and lived most of his lifetime in the downtown section, going to Flatbush to reside only a few years ago. Mr. Flynn is survived by his widow, Mrs.

Rosina F. Masterson Flynn; four sons, John, William, Vincent and Arthur Flynn; two daughters, the Misses Ethel and Josita Flynn, and ten grandchildren. HYLAN DRAWS IN HORNS Whatever concern there may have been caused by Mayor Hylan's tirades against "newsgatherers" was somewhat dispelled last night by the Mayor's qualification of his previous statements. He states that there are no reporters at Police Headquarters at the present time who are open to suspicion. "In past administrations," said Mayor Hylan the Police Campfire last night, "the Commissioner of the department was very close to the newsgatherers.

It was a common thing to 806 newsgatherers in close touch with affairs the Police Department. Because of this the police officers felt that they, too, had to be friendly to the newsgatherers, and also, in return. the newsgatherers would seek favors for their police friends and get them easy details. "Newspapermen, as a class, are honent, but there are some who were on the payroll." The Woman Voter Candidates for woman leader for the Eighth Assembly District will be considered on Thursday night by the Gowanus Democratic Club, the organization of Patrick J. Diamond.

The defeat of the Byrne leader, Mrs. Mary Wise in the primary for county committee has ineligible for re-election as executive member. Mr. Diamond stated today that he has made no choice as yet, but will present the matter to the club at the Thursday meeting. There is no separate woman's organization and no women have been specially prominent since Mrs.

Marie Westbrook's activities last fall during Mr. Diamond's campaign. It is improbable that she will be selected. The friends of Mrs. Wise insist that they will not accept the leadership of a woman from the Diamond organization, but will keep their own club with Mrs.

Wise as president. The claim brought by the women of the Byrne faction that Albert V. O'Connell who headed the ticket in the 21st Election District that defeated Mrs. Wise, was not a resident of the district but was a resident of the Tenth A. was denied by Mr.

O'Connell, who claims a legal residence within the election district that elected him a member of the County Committee. He claims a legal residence at 119 Third pl. The Victory Club, Republican women of the Fourth Assembly District, will meet on Thursday night at Waverly Hall, Myrtle and Waverly aves. Prominent speakers, including Republican candidates, will address the meeting. Miss 'Annie Patterson and Miss Helen McCormick, co-chairmen Women's Division, Knights of Columbus Social Service announced today that the fete arranged for October 12 has been postponed to later date to be announced.

The committee found that the efforts of the Women's Division would be more available later as the majority of the women interested were also active in the political organizations and could not give the time necessary to the work, Through an error in date a premature notice of the first fall meeting of the Sixth Assembly District Women's Republican Organization of Queens was published. The meeting will be held at the Yale Republican Club, Kossuth Ridgewood, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock sharp. Prominent speakers will discuss the League of Nations. The procedure of the Republican women at Syracuse for the primary is reported by the Republican Women's State Executive Committee as a model for other communities. Mrs.

Florence E. S. Knapp, a member of the State Committee and vice chairman of the Onondaga County Committee, planned and directed the work. A complete organization was perfected in each election district, including workers for every block. Every enrolled Republican woman was visited and a report of the interview registered at headquarters together with the total womens enrollment of the block.

On primary day every block worker was at the polls to check up her list of voters and to go after those who did not vote. Special interest was felt in the election by the women, as two were candidates for school commissioners. Miss Sarah Stephenson, borough secretary, is off for her vacation. She made a brief stop in Boston en route for Maine, where she will forget politics and get ready for the winter's work. The Women's Democratic Organization of the Ninth Assembly District Inc.

of which Mrs. Evelyn C. Meagher is president, will hold its first fall meeting at the club house on Ovington September 17. The euchres that were so successfully a part of the program of the Eighth Assembly District Women's Democratic Organization, will be resumed this winter. The first one will be held at the club house, 220 Be Bergen on September 23.

Mrs. Mary Wise, president of the club, announced that the proceeds will be used for the poor of the district. Miss L. M. Flamman, member of the Unity Republican Club of the Twentieth Assembly District, was defeated for county committee in the primary election.

She declared that irregular electioneering was the reason for her defeat. "Before the election I personally canvassed my district and secured the promise of enough votes to carry election," she said today. "When the vote was announced I was credited with only twenty. I re-canvassed the district and at least forty voters assured me they had kept their promise and voted for me. Where are the votes? Electioneering was carried on openly, the voters being buttonholed on their way to the polls by my opponents.

I was an inspector so I could not leave my post, but I reported it to the police who only temporarily stopped the practice. I mean to find out why the votes that my friends said they cast for me were not counted for me." Register Webster is sending to women voters regardless of party affiliations an appeal for support for his re-election on the ground of efficiency in the administration of his office. Among other claims for re-election he gives as the most prominent the Owners Index, the Torrens law and his personal work for war gardens. NO; BROWNE'S NOT DEAD Outside of his desire, to be the next Sheriff of Kings County, for which he is a candidate on the Democratic ticket this fall, James J. Browne, Superintendent of Sewers Democratic leader in the First A.

has just one ambition in life just now. He wants to meet the chap who started the rumor yesterday that "Jim" Browne was dead. Preferably he'd like to meet him alone and in a quiet spot and to disclaim all responsibility for what happens. As Mark Twain once said under similar circumstances, the rumor of "Jim's" death is "greatly exaggerated." The First A. D.

leader spent most of yesterday at his home at 97 Johnson assuring his friends of that fact. The rumors were to the effect that he had had a "stroke" while walking along lower Myrtle and another that he had fallen over dead in a drug store on Myrtle near Fulton st. DE VALERA AT SCRANTON Scranton, September 8-Fifteen thousand Irish-Americans in mass meeting at Rocky pleasure park near here, yesterday. adopted resolutions calling United States Senate to so amend the League of Nations agreement that Ireland be given the right of self-determination. action followed a stirring address by Eamonn de Valera, President of the Irish Republic.

He has been called a liar and thief and almost everything certain part of the press could I believe not antiAmerican. is pro-American. He has tired to work out a policy of Mexico for Mexicans and he had gone too far in that." Mexican troops have been ordered not to fire on American aviators flying over the border. Instead, Mexican customs officers will warn the aviators they are over Mexican territory by showing flags at day and rockets at night. The American Embassy in Mexico City reported this today.

ACTORSWANTDETAILS AS TO PEACE TERMS Resent Silence Policy of A.E.A. Heads-Victory Rally Becomes Protest Meeting. The fact that the officers of the Actors Equity Association have not yet made public the terms upon which the theater strike was settled and the fear that those terms are not of a naturo to protect the actors who went on strike from being discriminated against in the future by the managers, have caused considerable dissension in the ranks of the actors. Numbers of actors today are clamoring to be told by their leaders just where they stand and what steps have been taken by their association to protect them in the future. They began to voice their protests against the silence of their leaders at a mass meeting held in the Lexington Theater yesterday.

The meeting, which was called to celebrate the advent of peace in the theaters soon turned into a protest meeting. When Paul N. Turner, counsel for Equity, at-tempted to explain the terms of the settlement he was greeted with loud requests to produce the exact terms and make them known to everybody. This he evaded doing. And when Charles C.

Shay, head of the stage hands union, asked, "If this contract is satisfactory to Samuel Gompers can you say that it is not satisfactory to you there were many who shouted that it was not satisfactory. At the end of the meeting a number of the dissatisfied actors crowded about Frank Gillmore, one of the leaders of Equity, and showered questions upon him. He beat a hasty retreat, promising that everything would be explained at strike headquarters today. Eleven additional theaters will open their doors tonight. "Up From Nowhere" will have its premiere at the Comedy Theater, "The Mikado" opens at the Shubert, and Thurston, the magician, will start work at the Globe.

Plays that resume their runs tonight are: "Monte Cristo Jr." at the Winter Garden, "La La Lucille" the Criterion, "A Lonely Romeo" at the Casino, "'The Royal Vagabond" at the Cohan and Harris, "East Is West" at the Astor, "The Better 'Ole" at the Booth, "Those Who Walk in Darkness" at the 48th Street and "The Five Million' at the Maxine Elliott. By the end of the week there will be about 25 theaters open. GLEN COVE K. OF C. ELECTS Glen Cove, L.
