Kelley, as trustee of the organization, recently retired from the school system after 50 years of continuous service. The resolution of the Davidson committee which will be acted upon at the next meeting set forth in part: Dissatisfaction Pronounced.

"It is a matter of common knowledge that in a number of instances in recent years the selection of trict superintendents has been unfavorable comment. It has been charged that factors other than professional service and merit have been potent in securing preferment. Dissatisfaction has become so pronounced that it has led to repeated attempts to substitute for the existing law a plan of eligible lists based upon competitive examinations. Your committee holds that a merit system is not necessarily based on formal examinations of an academic type. merit it system is one which offers promotion solely as a reward for professional service of worth and excellence.

The present system be made a merit system if this principle were always "The committee wishes appliedin the good features of present practice by allowing the Board of Superintendents wide latitude in selecting district superintendents; but it wise desires to satisfy those who have been urging that promotion shall be determined by professional achievement. "Your committee begs leave to submit for adoption the following resolution: Opposes Examinations. "That the B. T. A.

'That it approves the plan of the committee outlined in the supporting statement of this report providing for the issuing by the State Commissioner of Education of city district superintendents' certificates, the holders of which shall constitute select croup from which nominations for district superintendencies shall be made.

Cobb Heads Committee Meeting Tonight to Plan for Action. Claiming that "older children are better able to walk long distances than the little folks," J. A. Cobb, 212 Patchen declared that "something will be done" about the transfer of children from P. S.

70 to P. S. 35 and 137. Mr. Cobb is the leader of a group of parents representing "almost 200 children," he said today.

A meeting will be held tonight to consider what steps will be taken. "In spite of the fact that there are 10 rooms In P. S. 70 being used as an annex to Thomas Jefferson High School, the smaller children have been sent with the opening of this term to schools farther away," said Mr. Cobb.

"They also have to cross dangerous streets. We feel that we will have to go to the authorities with this matter, and will decide what steps to take tonight," Mr. Cobb said. Although his little daughter has not yet been sent away from P. S.

70, the nearest school building, Mr. Cobb expects that this change will come if the general policy now in force is carried out. It is a "full 10-minute walk for small children to P. S. 35, and a good 20-minute walk for children sent to P.

S. 137," Mr. Cobb claims. There are "more than 25 parents" already taking steps to have the matter remedied. P.

Mr. Dean expressed appreciation on behalf of the school. The presentation followed the class day exercises. Charles Breen and "Al" Hoffman opened the class day ceremonies, with a humorous sketch of an instructor. Eddie Hellmann and Harold Orpen, the two "nuts" of the program, recited several spicy ditties that exposed several student love affairs.

Members of the faculty n190 came in for their share of the banter. The second act revealed a bevy of beautiful maidens in a miniature "follies" show. Their original songs included several "cracks" at the ancient building. Jewel Van Praag and Carmen Firpo presented a sketch in which they gave the class prophecies. A mock graduation ceremony was held, Emma Steinmetz and Harold Orpen co-starring.

Speeches and names were twisted and every event at the genuine ceremony was burlesqued. CURRIE SEES MITCHELL AS POSSIBLE SENATOR The possibility of a "Senator" Willam Mitchell in the United States Senate is no improbability, according to George Currie of The Eagle editorial staff, speaking last night at Manual Training High School, who declared that the chances for the fighting colonel to turn to statesmanship were boundless, with many districts all over the country anxious to make him their representative at Wasbington. The advertising a community represented by Mitchell would enjoy would be incentive enough to local boosters to attempt interesting him in the possibility of accepting a senatorial nomination, Currie declared. The freedom of utterance which the floor of Congress guarantees its members would make Mitchell more of a menace to those who fear him than any of his free-lance statements which he is making today, said Currie. This ability to expresa himself unhindered is one of the chief reasonS for Mitchell's consideration to enter politics now that he has eschewed the military, and is causing concern among "old-line" army men, who resent the belligerent attitude of the colonel.

V. KALTENBORN A Roosevelt Issue Revived Vigorous attacks against huge corportions exercising monopolistic control over essential supplies were launched in both House and Senate yesterday. There is every indication that progressive political forces of the country have decided upon a determined campaign against big trusts. The Coolidge Administration has consistently favored "big business." The reaction against this policy is partly political and partly a genuine fear of the selfish power of gigantic combinations. In both House and Senate there was adverse comment on the formation of the $2,000,000,000 Ward Food Products Corporation.

Senator King (Democrat) called it a further development of Caesarism in our industrial life and urged the abolition of the Federal Trade Commission because the Coolidge appointees who now dominate the Commission believe in letting big corporations have their own way. Representative La Guardia of New York (Socialist) introduced resolutions calling for action against the "bread trust" by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, A move much more likely to enlist Republican support is that of Senator Walsh calling for a general investigation of the Aluminum Company of America, the 80 called "Aluminum Trust," in which Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, is interested. Senator Walsh conducted a preliminary inquiry into this trust for the Judiciary Committee and disclosed the fact that both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice had reversed their policies. Both the Commission and the Attorney General charged the Aluminum company with violating the law, but the case was dropped and nothing further done until the New York World printed a series of stories about it.

It would appear that the "trust" issue which played such an important part in our political history during the Roosevelt Administration is once more coming into the foreground. This is a Congressional campaign year and the political parties are beginning to look for issues. Q. What law defines the attitude of our Federal Government toward trusts?

GARDEN SERVICE CLUB BEAUTIFIES BOYS HIGH LAWN An example of public school spirit turned in a constructive direction is related in January High Points, by Joseph B. Fish of Boys High School. The great improvement in the appearance of the grounds around the building at Marcy and Putnam aves.

and Madison st. is due to the Garden Service Club, which has been formed under the direction of Mr. Winston of the biology department. "There were a number of lawns and about 12 trees which showed the result of neglect," writes Mr. Fish.

"These lawns were on an incline, had lost most of their grass, and the rain continually washed and flowed in gullies through the yards, so that it was often actually difficult to cross them. "In order to remedy this condition it was decided to grade and repave the Putnam ave. yards, but to retain the greater portion of the lawns by building a concrete retaining wall for them. It was also decided to improve the terrace on the Marcy ave. side.

As this necessitated expert sodding with turf, a landscape gardener was called into consultation, with the result that the whole terrace was sodded and planted with suitable perennials, "With the assistance of our Indefatigable principal the park department of Queens was prevailed upon to send some of its men to remove the dying trees and to replace them with fine young Norway maples. "The improvement of the Marcy ave. side entalled quite an expense, which was underwritten by the Allied Activities of the school, an organization which corresponds to the general organization of most The money for this purpose, ever, came from performances given by the dramatic musical clubs of the school. "When this task was completed the boys immediately set work to plow up the ground on the lawns and to fertilize it with sheep manure. After a few days the ground was sowed with grass seed and watered daily by squads of boys.

"To further improve the appear: ance of the yards the senior of June. 1925, donated three arterete benches and an arterete "From the beginning the prinetpal had expressed view that venture should be school project, whereby could he shown students of Boys High School could be relied upon to show of helnfulness well as pride their building.

Knowles for the American Credit Indemnity Philip R. Rodriguez for the International Union Bank, John H. Jephson for the Textile Banking finder Kneisel and for J. J. Janowitz Schwarzenbach, for the French American Import Company.

Concealed Assets. Israelsky, Buckman, Rechtschaffer and others were convicted of concealing assets connected with the $153,000 failure of the J. R. Waist and Dress Company, 20 W. 22d Manhattan, and the Baby Fair Company.

Rechtschaffer was president of the concerns, in which were his brothers Henry and Sol, who were sentenced respectively to six and three months. Israelsky, with Buckman as an under partner, was president of the Textile Mills, 14 E. 34th Manhattan, and concerns doing business at 58 Graham ave. and 14 Manhattan ave. Confessed Receiving Goods.

Israelsky was not identified with the bankrupt companies when the smash came. But he was the selfconfessed receiver of the goods stolen on credit, and his confession was made as soon as $5,000 countersigned check of his on a Newburgh bank and a note of $20,000 as payment to Rechtschaffer for goods received after the bankruptcy were discovered. According to Rechtschaffer's testimony, Israelsky told him to buy goods on credit from, and to "stick" Erstein Co. and others. Rechtschaffer was able to do this, as his J.

R. Waist and Dress Company had a credit rating of $125,000 and had been in business since 1907. During the time of these operations, Israelsky was reputed to be worth 000. Disposed of Goods for Cash. The goods were received on credit by the Waist Company, turned over to Buckman, who took them in taxis and trucks to Israelsky, who, in turn, disposed of them for cash under An agreement that he and Rechtschaffer would split fifty -fifty.

Accounts were falsified in the usual way, and, of course, no record was kept of the Rechtschaffer-B a n-Israelsky transfer. Creditora were defrauded in this way of $153,000 of their goods, although Israelsky disgorged some $68,000 and Rechtschaffer made partial restitution. Creditors Organize. Then the creditors organized, secured Mr. Lauterstein as their counsel and the hunt commenced.

Israelsky had been suspected before of odd transactions. An investigator who was hired by the Creditors Committee was proved to have taken a bribe of $200 not to find anything wrong. Israelsky first employed Harry Zalkin, noted bankruptcy attorney. He next brought Kenneth Spence into the case, who was not anxious to have Judge Knox--known to be a severe judge in fraudulent bankruptey cases--hear the matter. An attempt was made to have the case sent before Judge Garvin.

Colonel Hayward was added to the array of counsel, although he, as Federal District Attorney, had signed the indictment against the men. Texas Judge Arrived. And when Judge Estes came on from Texas, Stuart Gibboney, the former law partner of MeAdoo, was employed. Estes was appointed to the bench by President Wilson when MeAdoo was Secretary of the Treasury. It has been estimated that bia counsel cost Israelsky approximately $100.000.

Finally the men were sentenced, but even then an attempt was made to have Judge Bondy reduce the sentence given by Estes, who by that time had returned to Texas. Mr Buckner and Mr. Lauterstein, for the creditors, objected and the trio were sent to Atlanta to serve one year and one day. Israelsky, Buckman and Rechtschaffer have been there since Oct. 8.
