EXECUTED, REPORT
t
Wekerlo and Hungarian
Baron Also Declared Slain
by Communists
RUMOR IS NOT CONFIRMED
London, April 15. (By A. P.) A
Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says that the Acht
Uhr Blatt and the Abendblatt, ot Ber
lin, print reports received from trav
elers to the effect that Communists at
Budapest have executed Archduke Jo
seph, Dr. Alexander Wclcorle. former
premier, nnd Bnron Joseph Szteprenyi,
minister of commerce.
The report, the dispatch says, has not
been confirmed.
Archduke Joseph of Austrin-riungary
was a son of Archduke Joseph Charles
Louis and was born at Alrsuth on August
t, 1872. He received n technical edu
cation at the T'niversity of Budapest
and later became commander of the
Seventh Corps of the Austro-Hungar-ian
army. During the war he was in
command of the southern section of the
eastern battlefront. It was reported
on April 11 that he and his son, Arch
duko Joseph Francis, had tnkon the
oath to hubmit unconditionally to the
Hungarian National Council, which was
set up nfter the fall of the government
led by Count Michael Karolyi.
Dr. Alexander AVckerle has for the
last fifteen years been one of the lead
ing figures in Hungarian public life. In
1000 he formed n cabinet, which held
office until April 21, 1000. After a
brief interval. Doctor AVekerlc again
was appointed premier, remnining in
office until January 27, 1018. Kven
after this time he remained in nominal
control until April IS, 101S, when Count
TIsza was appointed premier. After the
assassination of Count Tisza, Doctor
Wekerle was again nppointed premier,
and remained in office until October 10,
1018. He was arrested in Budapest,
February 15 Inst, being chnrged with
participation in a revolutionary plot.
Because of his ndvnnced age he was
later freed from prison, but was in
terned in Budapest. On March 25 he
was arrested by the Communist govcrn
. ment ot Hungary.
Baron Joseph Szteprenyi, minister of
commerce of Hungary, served in Doctor
Wfcfeerle's cabinet during the summer
of 1018. On February 28 he, was ar
rested at Budapest on the charge of
having engaged in n counter-revolutionary
plot. On April 2 it was re
ported that he might be sentenced to
death.
Survey of Schools

Hon, school plant, the various types of
schools, the results obtained and all
other elements that deter mind effi
ciency." The resolution continued : "That we
urge the Board of Education to carry
out the purpose of its resolution of one
year ago, by causing such a survey
to be made and that we pledge the
board our support in the expenditure
for this purpose of any necessary
amount of school funds up to $30,000,
borrowing the money for the purpose if
need be in anticipation of the next tax
lerr."
Organizations represented nt the
meeting were urged to take similar ac
tion and notify the board of education.
The dinner, which was presided over
by Walter Lee llosenberger, chairman
of the congress of presidents, was at
tended by representatives of civic and
business orgnni7ations.
Results of school surveys taken in
160 cities and towns of the United
tates, and the things that a school
survey in this city would do, were ex
plained by Doctor Kendall. Others
who spoke for the school survey were
Dr. Frederick Griffin, of the First
Unitarian Church, and William Eld
rldge, who expressed the business man's
idea of a need for a surwy.
"Living and Dead"
Doctor Griffin, at whose church there
was a conference on education Sunday
night, addressed by Simon Gratz, of the
Board of Education, nnd others, said in
the course of his remarks that there
are only two kinds of people in the
world the living and the dead. The
dead were those who had stopped learn
ing nnd were still looking nt the world
from the point of view of twenty or
thirty years ago. The living were those
who had open minds and made con
stant efforts to broaden their knowl
edge and improve the conditions about
them. This apt characterization was
heartily applauded.
Mr. Eldridge remarked that if the

board of education met the demand
for a school survey "it might case their
conscience, if the survey showed the
schools to be ns good as they believed,
nnd if it disclosed serious defects would
give them a new opportunity for public j
service."
Doctor Kendall said the school sur- J
vey has come into existence because of
the growing understanding ot the vital
relation of the school and the nation,
ami ino resulting nesiro 10 improve
the schools by intelligent criticism
Would Classify Pupils
"One of the first jobs of a survey
would be," he said, "to classify the
children of different grades to deter
mine whether the children were ob
taining from the schools the proper
training in their grades. This is now
possible with a high degree of accuracy
through psychological tests. i

survey would consider the board of ed
ucation first, then the superintendent
of schools, the key to the situntion, and
then the efficiency of the school' prin
cipals. He told of the survey in Clevelnnd,
where a year nnd three months were
spent on the work nnd the cost was
S48.000, paid for by the Cleveland I
Foundation. He said that this surey.

that the Philadelphia board does the

the completed work.
Doctor Kendall called it the "highest ,
injustice to throw stones at the Board
of Lducation. It is easy to criticize,
he said, "but nothing is so detrimental
to high-spirited officials as unjustified
criticism."
He said that in Portland, of the sixty-three
suggestions made in the sur- I
vey. forty -eight were adopted and only I
three rejected. The others were not
et acted upon. In Baltimore, he said
politics had prevented nny advantage
being taken of the survey which he nid
ed in making, but he added that Balti
more did not return to its old state
exactly. "A survey will definitely
change your school system," he said.
"It is worth while if it but gives
superintendents nnd teachers an analy
sis on which to work improvement."
Ho discussed the loss of time bv
children who fail in school nnd the cost
to the state. One city showed that
one-third of all children failed at least
once in the elementary grades. "Howl

Anions the thlnits that are studied
by the survey, he said, are what the,
schools arc doing for thecommunlty ;
1 how the salaries of teachers compare
with other cities: whether the build
lings and equipment are up to needs;
I whether, for instance, the blackboards
are too high in primary lyade, and how
.the lighting is.
I Health Is Factor
He said that many adults wear
glasses because of the bad lighting they
had In the schools they attended as
children "It is a crime to force
I children to school by law and then ruin
their health by bad lighting."
"The greatest waste next to poor
teaching," he said the survey discloses
"Is the number who fall to go to school
when they should. The loss of time
, is equal to a quarter of the pupils en
rolled in New Jersey.
Ho said a survey would disclose
whether the proportion of money spent
on high schools compares with that
spent on elementary schools.
"It Is a crime against children," he
said, "to have but one teacher to fifty
pupils. It is criminal to build high
schools at the cost of a million dol-
Inrs nnd take it out on the primary
schools with fifty-sir children In one
bmnll room.

stork was her property, she said.
Mr. Wheeler told her he sold the
stock through a broker, the witness tes
tified. The money, she continued, was
to have been used to pay for repairs on
holdings of the Joyce Ilealty Company
in Columbus, O.
"I nsked him how he expected to pay
for the repairs," asserted Mrs. Joyce.
"He told me he expected to ask me for
a fee of $10,000. Ho said he would bank
the $10,000 fee and borrow $10,000 on
I that account. The rest of the money he
would obtain from me. The repairs
would cost about $30,000."
"What did he say he did with the
proceeds?" asked Assistant District At-
torney Taulane.
"He said he had misappropriated
them," was the reply,

"He said lc used the money for his

to her were worth $50,000. He said
Philip N. Goldsmith hnd told him, so
she continued. Goldsmith is a lawyer
and public accountant.
Later, Mrs. Joyce averred, Mr.
Wheeler corrected himself on the amount

in Columbus and that she had that
figure in her mind ns proper compen
sation for the former judge.
Another Conversation
The questioning then swung to an
other conversation between Mrs. Joyce
nnd the defendant.
The witness said she directed the
former judge to write down his indebt
edness to her.
"He said he would put everything
down in black and white so I would un
derstand it. After ha had made up the
total he said he was surprised that it
amounted to so much," Mrs. Joyce
declared.
By Mr Taulane: "What became of
the money?"
Mr. Gray objected and was sus
tained. The prosecution then offered in evi

written by Mr. Wheeler.
According to the schedule, the defend

'the light and traction stock, sold for
$37,377.25, but valued at $38,100; a
balance duo on account of $702.02; a
balance due as treasurer of the Joyce
Realty Company of $3084.10; promis
sory notes to Mrs. Joyce of $4500;
promissory notes amounting to $5000,
given to Mrs, Joyce, and an "indebted
ness paid to me by Mrs. Joyce" of
$10,260.
Tho bchcdulc's total was $02,251.78.
Mrs. Joyce said the defendant agreed
to give her n judgment note for the total
and agreed to transfer his life insurance
to her. He said he would take out Any
additional insurance she required, Mrs,
Joyce asserted.
Interest in the testimony of Mrs.
Joyco has been heightened by her
statements on the stand yesterday, when
she said the judge confessed to ner
that he hart embezzled the funds from
her estate.
"It's gone," she testified he told her
when she asked about a $20,000 check.
