NEW SCHOOL BOARD
.SYSTEM IS SOUGHT
Series of House Bills Alms at
Complete Reorganization of
Education Group
FINEGAN FAVORS CHANGE
By a Staff Corrtivotfnt
Harrisburg, Feb. 0. A drnstle reor
fanlxatlon of the Phllodelphla public
school system is rapidly becoming one
of the most Importnnt legislative ques
tions, beforr the (lenenll Vsemb1y.
There are Indication thnt some kind
of chnnge will be ordered by the present.
Sentiment In favor of n reorganiza
tion Is running high In the Philadelphia
deleeatlon. This it In evidence nnionc
leaders who heretofore- have ntnod fori
the retention of the prcont method of
selecting the Hoard nf Education. Tlio
difficulty the bonrd hud In aareelnc on
a school superintendent U pip of thp
reasons for this growth In setitimeft.
It li alo noteworthy that suggest loni
of Dr. Thomas R Flurcin, utafe super
intendent of public ! tion lire hnv
Ing weight In consideration of nsd
menus for Improving the school jtrai
la Philadelphia.
Legislators are '1!bi"imsI g two out
standing proposals tdn One l that
members of the bonrd be e'eted bv the
peoplf mther than nppoitited bv ''
board of Judge . The other I that the
power of levvlng tnrci he taken awny
from the Board of Education and con
ferred on the Philadelphia rltv Council
Finegan for Elective Hoard
Dr. Flncgnn fnvnr the cclection of
members of the bonrd by the people. Up
does not fnvr stripping the bonrd of,
power of levying tnTes for the purpose'
ot the mnlnfennnre 01 me pcnoni n-in.
Benntor Ornv. of Philadelphia, has a
kill before the upper chamber which will
proTlde for the direr election of sal
aried members of the bonrd.
The bill most lihelv to win iniWe
ment of Dr. Finecnn U one to be offered
nert Mondav night bv Representative
rhllln Sterllnu. of Philadelnhln. Mr.
Sterling has been studying the systems
In other cities and has conferred w'th
Dr. Finegan The bill also will hnve
mjpport of Franklin Spencer Edmonds.
one of the independent member of the
Phiiade'phla delegation.
Sterling's bill, unlike other which
hare been proposed, would nffect only
Philadelphia and not Pittsburgh. This
will relieve the sponsor of the neces
sity of trying to reconcile conflicting
elements In Allegheny countv and make
It more possible for a bill to be passed
which would ndvanee Philadelphia's
Interests.
Tax Method "l'n-American"
The Sterling bill will provide: An
elective board of seven members each
nerving six -year terms. The members
vouid be unpaid, as recommended by
Dr. Finegan and will be prohibited
from holding any other public office
which pajs a salary. In this way It
Is hoped to fet prominent business and
professional men to serve. Members
would be chosen at the municipal elec
tion and on the nonpartisan ballot.
The bill to relieve the Board of Edu
cation of Its present power of levying
taxes was offered by Representative
Albert 8. C. Millar, of Philadelphia.
He declares it is contrary to Ameri
can principles for an aproir.t've board,
such as the present Board of Educa
tion, to levy taxeR am hit taxes
abould be set only by alected repre
sentatives of thn people Mr Millar's
objections would be satisfied It Is be
lieved. If the present appointive board
were ripped out o' office, as Is con
templated by the Gray and Sterlln
tills.

the weather durinc the trip grew
stormy, the bont was compcllcl to put

tinued to be somewhat stormy, but
In spite of warnings and advire, the
party again set sail, owing to the
insistence of young Mr. Markley,
who, in accordance with the dei-Ire of
Mr. (Jibboney, unnted to have the
visit speedily finished.
About -1 o'clock that same often

pirsonally acquainted with Lawrence
Mnrkley, John It. Markley and Mr.

This was the first rts't of Mr. Gib

Mr. Evuni said that only yesterday,

"My partner was associated in n bus

Ik-gins to Doubt All
"I for one and members of the com

Mr Gibboney," Representative Kahn
explained in an interview at Washing
ton. "What I want Is definite informa
tion as to the dlsnohitlon of the body.
Has anybody seen it? Or where is It

"This whole case is Involved In such

BERGDOLL CASES
TO BE TESTED TODAY
Bprcint Dltmtek to Kvenina Public Ltiotr
Kansas City, Mo Feb. 0. The first
legal move to rescue the Bergdoll
brothers, Erwin nnd Grover Cleveland,
from the plight in which their army
slacking has placed them, will be made
before Judge John C. Pollock In the
United Stntes court today.
While only the name of Erwin Ru
dolph Bergdoll appears In the court
papers, his brother, Grover Cleveland,
also Is Interested.
Both were tried by military courts
martial. Grover was sentenced to
serve five rears In the military prison
at Leavenworth, nnd Erwin II. to serve
four years.
The Question rnied is the right of a
military court-martial to try a man as
a deserter who was not mustered into
the army, but simply called. As both
brothers ore In this position the Issues
apply to both.
Should they win they still face
charges nf attempting to evade the
selective draft law, both having been
Indicted by a grund Jury in Phila
delphia. .loiin S. Maxwell, who heads the de
fense, was formerly Judge advocate
of the army and his name appears on
the court-martial papers. Colonel C.
C. Cresson who was the "presiding
judge" of the court, is expected to at
tend the hearing today. He Is now nt
Fort Crook. Neb. Judge 1'oiiocK win
leave tonight for New York city, where
lie will hear several cases.
Says Court Bill
Violates Charter
Continued from rose One
members of the charter committee be
lieve that an opinion should be given
by the city t-olicitor on Article VI, Sec
tion 3. of the charter, which says!
"The Denartruent of Public Works
shall hove the care, management, ad
ministration nnd Mipervlslon or
the construction, protection, mainte
nance, operation nud repair of public
buildings, bridges nnd structures of
every kind for public use. '
On proper legal Interpretation of this
will depend who has the right to spend
the $1,000,000 and other moneys which
may be appropriated for the municipal
court. An opinion from the city solici
tor is also urged by councllmen who
opposed the 51,000,000 grant to the
court.
A conference between members of the
charter committee and City Solicitor
Smyth will be held during the latter
part of the week. Ir Is believed that
Mr. Smyth will give an opinion on the
question within a few days.

Laborites Suffer Severe Revorse
In South African Elections.
Lose Many Seats
VOTE AGAINST SECESSION
By thp Associated Press
Capo Town, Feb, 0, Enormous
majorities were given the South Afri
can party, headed by General Jnn
Umuts, In Durban and Cape Town yes
erdnv. while the Labor party suffered
a severe reverse In the Rand district.
In Cape Town the South African party
gained two seats, In Durban three, In
the Rand eight nnd In East London
one.
The victory of the nartv nf the
prime minister Is attributed to the fact
that worklngmen voted against the se
cession Issue raised by General Ilcrt
xog, and did not pay much attention
to sectlonnl issues raised by labor
leaders.
Prctorw. Feb. 0. General Smuts,
prime minister of the I'nton of South
Africa, was elected to the House of As
semhly In the district of Pretoria west
In the elections held throughout the
union yesterday.
Returns received up until nn early
hour today Indicated the South African
party, tinder the leadership of General
Smuts, had won a victory. There was
some uncertainty ns to the vote in the
rural districts, but the party seemed
assured of a good working majority In
the assembly.
WITNESSES SUMMONED
IN ERIE VICE INQUIRY
Grand Jury Expected to Begin Hear
ing Evidence Next Friday
Erie, Pa Feb. ft. Special District
Attorney Samuel L. Gilson, named by
the court to carry on the vice probe be
fore the February grand Jury, is sum
moning his witnesses nnd It Is ex
pected that by Friday District Attorney
C. Arthur Blass will turn that body
over to him nnd the Investigation will
start. Gilson is said to have scores
of witnesses he will take before the
grand Jury, some of whom It is said
will give mot startling information.
The double Investigation Into vice
conditions virtually entne to nn end for
thp time being yesterday, w'j 'u Mayor
KItts successfully blocked t. work of
the councilmanic probe committee by
refusing to leave the Council room when
requested to do so by Chairman Me
bnffey. He furthermore Issued nn order
that no police officer should respond to
the summons of the coanellmanic com
mittee without first having secured per
mission from him.
This action worked two ways. It
stopped the taking of testimony before
the councilmanic probe for the time
being nnd In this wny proved a tem
porary v'ctory for the mayor, but It also
prevented him from learning Just what
evidence Is now In the possession of
Special Counsel Gilson. Much of the
testimony that was to have gone before
the councilmanic committee will be given
to the grand Jury.
