I MAYOR HYLAN SEEKS BILL TO UNDERMINE POWER OF ETTINGER Asks Right to Appeal to Courts From State Commissioner's Decisions. (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent.) Albany, March 15-An attempt on the part of Mayor Hylan to undermine the power of City Superintendent of Schools Dr. William L. Ettinger, which he has enjoyed by reason of the wholehearted backing given him by the State education authorities, was revealed today, when a bill arrived at Albany, authorizing the City of New York to appeal from a decision of the State Commissioner of Education to the Appellate Division. The question of rule is again and the Mayor insists that should' raised, have jurisdiction over its own schools.

When the Hylan Board of Education took offce about two years ago, it set of rules governing the of Dr. Ettinger. These dontedct rules virtually told the superintendent that he was an employee of the Board and unless he did as the Board wished he could get out. Dr. Ettinger, however, laughed at the rules, it is said, and plainly told the Board that he would not be regulated and that he was the executive officer of the Board of Education, to shape his own course and not be dic.

tated to by Hylan appointees. The Board, when it framed ed the rules, forgot that they would have to be approved State Commissioner of Education. Dr. Ettinger himself took care of this oversight and sent the rules to Albany. They were returned without approval, and the City Law Department was called upon to appeal from the decision of the Commissioner of Education.

It was then discovered that the decisiong of the Commissioner were final and that there was no chance of making an appeal. A controversy between the Mayor and 'several of his associate superintendents 'at the time drew attention away from Commissioner's decision and the thact that it could not be appealed from. The schools are administered under the State Educational Law of 1917, which provides that the superintendent of schoolg shall be the chief executive officer of the Board of Education. H. A.

DEMAND BETTER TELEPHONE SERVICE The wretched service which the telephone company is rendering in the Flatbush section was the subJect of official action at the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Prospect Park South Association held last night at the home of Eugene W. Harter, 131 Marlborough rd. From the complaints of members it appears that the telephone management has broken faith with the district. Announcement was made that new centrals, Buckminister and Berkshire, were to be egtablished and that new numbers were.

to be ussigned to subscribers in the Flatbush central and that these subscribers would be attached to one of the new centrals. The telephone company agreed that until a new book was issued one calling the 'old number would be told the new number. This is not being done. Arthur M. Howe told how it took him 20 minutes to get a house only three blocks away.

William S. Macdonald spoke of similar experiences. A resolution was adopted authorizing the chairman of the committee on telephone service. Mr. Glenn, and the president, Mr.

Peters, to take the matter up with the company and also to ask the aid of the Brooklyn papers. WILLS FILED Mary Knox Robinson, died Feb. 24, 1923.

Twenty men and boys were injured, five of them seriously, in a three alarm fire in two-story factory the World Match Co. at 233 Washington st. last night.

For a time the blaze threatened to wipe out the entire block of old wooden buildings. Thousands from the downtown section, attracted by the heavy billows of smoke and the glare of the flames, jammed the surrounding streets and gave the reserves a busy time holding them in check. Most of the workers in the burning factory received their injuries when they leaped from upper windows. The flames spread from floor to floor as the cases of matches caught fire and were consumed in the twinkling of an eye. Ten were working on the first floor and 20 on the second when the fire broke out at 10:30 o'clock in the lower end of the hoistway.

The first floor workers jumped through windows. many of them with their clothing in flames. When the blaze reached the second floor the workers were trapped and the windows were their only exit. Nearly all the number leaped to the street, dropping like plummets. The Injured.

Patrolmen Crehan and Newbauer of the Poplar st. station and stable employees threw blankets over the heads of the animals and led them to the street.

WITNESSES DEAD, COSTELLO FREED Because competent legal proof that William Von Twistern of 2053 Washington killed on Feb. 13, 1921, in an accident en the Long Island Railroad, was on that train could not be given, County Judge George W. Martin was forced yesterday in the Kings County Court to dismiss the charge of manslaughter against Edwara Costello, motorman of the train.

The only two men who could give the testimony necessary to establish legally the fact that Von Twistern was a passenger on the train have died. Just beyond the Crescent st. crossing, near the Autmn ave. station, the local tracks converge. An express and a local operated by Costello approached the convergence.

The trains sideswiped each other and in the crash Von Twistern was killed. Von Twistern was carried from the train by physician and another passenger. The physician and the other man have both died since the accident. Costello, who is 40 years old and lives at 2640 Atlantic was dismissed by Judge Martin upon the application of his counsel. Irish People as a Whole Weary of De Valera and The M'Swiney Womenfolk is the seventh of a the the series of interpretive articles dealing the with conditions in Ireland since the the creation of the Free State.1 By WILLIAM HASSETT.

(By Cable The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila Ledger; Copyright, 1923.) Cork. March 15-The spirit of Irish nationalism is strong in this ancient city by the pleasant waters of the River Lee. There is a strong conviction hereabouts that if representatives of the Free State government and the irregulars could meet around a council table a peace could some way or other be patched up. There is no doubt that the present government is unpopular. William O'Brien, who was quoted yesterday, naturally knows sentiment throughout Munster, and his fellow citizens in large numbers support his view that the Free State must be rid of the oath of allegiance to the British King before peace can be made.

Now. while the spirit of nationalism is strong in Cork it does not follow that there is a strong demand for a republic in the De Valerian sense of the term, or for a republic in name. Sick of De Valera. If a personal opinion may be ventured it would be that most of Ireland is sick of Mr. De Valera and his visions.

There are many good Nationalists in this southern country who, however much they desire to be rid of the oath to the King, would balk at a republic if by a republic is meant Eamonn De Valera and Mary MacSwiney. Cork is not likely to forget its gallant young Lord Mayor, Terence MacSwiney, who was arrested during the ceremonies of his inauguration in succession to the murdered Lord Mayor MacCurtain. and who starved himself to death in Brixton jail as a protest against the iniquity of his imprisonment. Ireland has not forgotten young McSwiney and the calm idealism which sustained his as he made the supreme sacrifice. This writer, however, thinks Ireland would like to forget the McSwiney womenfolks.

Mary MacSwiney, sister of the late Lord Mayor, was elected to Dail Eireann last summer, but along with other Irregulars refused to take her seat in Dublin. She is still "keening" about the republic which thoughtful Irishmen now admit never existed. except as a colossal but successful bluff to England. Corkonians Jeer at Miss MacSwiney. Now the Cork people will tell you with a smile that Mary MacSwiney's An Expert once claimed that he save us thousands of dollars in the course of a year.

His plan was to eliminate? from our correspondence the words "Dear Madam" "Yours very truly." "These words mean nothi ing." he exclaimed, "and; merely take up unnecessary time."

Smith, Urging State Control of Water Power, Pushes Concrete Program. message of a few days water, presents Governor Smith's power probably the most practical- concrete, and at the same time comprehensive program for the development by the State of its water power resources, and for the distribution of hydroelectric power by the State, that has ever been offered to the Legislature.

This is saying a great deal, for, during the past 15 years. many plans have been drawn up and recommended for the protection and transmission, for industrial and domestic uses, of electric current from the State's sources of "white coal." Widespread interest has been chown in the Governor's program for State control and ownership of power, presented as a policy for the State to adopt. This interest has been further stimulated by the proposition ur of Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania for the co-operation of New York and Pennsylvania in the development of power. Here is the Empire State with vast resources in the Niagara and St Lawrence rivers and in the Adiron.

dacks; there is the adjacent Key. stone State, with its vast coal resources and the possibility of generating electric power at the mines and transporting electric current in stead of transporting coal. Gov. Pinchot's suggestion, coming on the heels of Gov. Smith's program.

proposes a co-operative distribution of New York's hydroelectric power and Pennsylvania's carboelectric power. These developments have served to call attention to what the Federal Government has done while the New York government has been debating and delaying action in the development of the State's water resources. The Federal Government has decided that the water power of the country is a national resource, 'belonging to the people of the country as a whole. and shouid be developed under Fed eral jurisdiction and regulation. Under the Federal water power act of 1920, private interests have been going ahead on an ever increasing scale, projecting water power development under Federal license.

Miller sent a message to the Legislature which this paragraph appeared: "There is a pressing need for development of the potential water powers of the State, and although the adoption of a settled policy essential to such development have been discussing the subject many years without making appreciable progress." Governor Smith's Program. Governor Smith's message emphasizes the need of immediate action He has presented a. definite policy for the State, a policy that embraces the following features: 1.

Immediate development of water powers available on Niagara and St. Lawrence, at same time providing means for transmission and sale to municipalities of electric current. An immediate appropriation of funds is quested. 2. Authorization of the State Engineer to start at once and to negotiate with the Federal Government for consent to develop water power where navigation is Involved.

3. Making existing transmission lines common carriers, and as such compel them to carry current reasonable rates. 4. Refusal to issue any permits hereafter for private development waer power, with the repeal of any statute creating any commission, board or officer vested with nuthority to grant permits for private water power 5. Appropriation of $75,000 for the Attorney General to contest the right of the Federal Government to have jurisdiction over New York State water "The Federal Government," said the Governor.

"contends that it has the right. authority and jurisdiction to control and dictate by license how, when and where developments are to be made on the and St. Lawrence rivers, as well as all other navigable streams of the State. Such right and authority, if sustained, would enable the Federal Government to deprive the State of New York and its- people of this priceless heritage bestowed upon us by the Creator himself. In the final analysis it would permit the Federal Government to divert the energy created by the fall of water in our streams to other States against our will.

The bed of any stream over which the power-creating water flows belongs to the State, better still. to its citizens. Our use and control of the same are threatened. am credibly advised that a strong propaganda is now being spread in support of a plan to divert the electical energy from our border streams to territory outside the State. This we must resist with all the power we can bring to our command."

STEIN SUCCEEDS GLEDHILL IN 6TH election to the Dail was the result of personation and that she could not be elected again to even a minor office. Moreover, and more damaging to the cause she represents- Miss MacSwiney has fallen a prey to the scornful Cork satire which cuts its victims like a double-edged sword.

One hears her referred to now with a toss of the head or a shrug of the choulders as "Mary, the Mother of Nothing," or as "The Morose Virgin," while a young Cork soldier boy--ignoring her Republican protestations --hailed her as "Mary, Queen of Cork." Everyone knows the fate of politicians when ridicule overtakes them. Likewise De Valera's followers in America seem to have their hands full with Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, the Lord Mayor's widow. According to a letter written by Mrs. Sheehy Skeffington in New York and found on Mary MacSwiney the last time that vehement lady was arrested.

the Republicans in the United States would like to have Mrs. MacSwiney bustled back to Ireland. "Muriel," wrote Mrs. Skeffington, "has been causing us great worry. She is very hysterical and I fear for her an entire mental lapse." Such 1s the opinion of the MacSwiney women held by those who have known them a long time.

Oath to King a Stumbling Block. Several citizens in Cork stressed their objections to the presence of Governor General representing the Crown and the lodging of the veto power in the Crown, albeit there is not even a remote likelihood of the exercise of the latter prerogative. One citizen high in municipal counells, a captain of industry who is known over here as "the Irish Hoover." suggested that peace would be made on the basis of a new election in the Free State and elimination by negotiations of the treaty provisions for the oath to the King. the Governor General and the veto power. As to the oath to the King, he thought a via media would be found if the oath were made optional.

He thinks all this can be brought about without further bloodshed. Your correspondent hag found much sympathy around Cork for William O'Brien's demand for a truce and for revision of the treaty as a basis for winning Republican support. The oath to the King is certainly a stumbling block to peace. Thus, though the present Dublin Government seems to have lost the confidence of people in Munster. one finds little support and no enthusiasm for De Valera and his following.

The overwhelming conviction seems to be that Ireland's future political status can be determined under the Free State Treety by ful negotiations with England. Michael Stein has been chosen to succeed Reuben L. Gledhill as the leader of the opposition Republican organization--the McKinley Republican Club--in the 6th A. D. Former Assemblyman John R.
