Didn't Say Coeducation
Caused Immorality Among
Students, Declares Yates
School Director Makes Bitter
Attack on Fellow Members
of Board Whom He Ac
cuses of Unfairness; Ex
plains His Speech of Sev
eral Weeks Ago; Dr.
Downes Makes Report Re
futing Statement That
There Is Anything Morally
Wrong at Central High
Explanation was offered by the Rev.
Dr. William N. Yates, the Bull Moose
member of the City School Board, at
a meeting of the directors last night,
for his speech of several weeks ago on
the question of co-education in the
high school.
Dr. Yates vehemently denied that in
his stand against co-education he in
tended any insinuation or Inuendo
against the morality at the Central
High school. This denial was followed
by a bitter attack on his fellow mem
bers of the school board whom he ac
cused of being unfair in misconstruing
his remarks:
Dr. Yates said ib part: "I have been
taken advantage of and I want to
deny that I had any intention of
questioning the morality at the Cen
tral High school. The statements
printed In the newspapers were mis
leading and placed me in a false light.
What I did say and what I now re-
Iterate Is that I would not allow a
daughter of mine to go to the Central
High school or to any other high
school where co-education was the
policy.
Thinks Treatment Shabby
"I had no intention," Dr. Yates went
on, "of creating an impression that
things are not right morally at the
Central High school. I think I was
treated very shabbily by the members
of this board who should have placed
me right knowing what I said."
Professor W. S. Steele, principal of
the Central school, said he accepted
the apology, but Dr. Yates declared
he didn't want his remarks to be
taken as an apologj at all and said:
"I am not making an apology. I have
no apologj- to make. I simply want
to be correctly quoted."
Downcs Makes Reports
F. E. Downes, superintendent of
city schools, presented a lengthy re
port dealing with such questions of
the moment as co-education, single
and double sessions In the high
schools, the cost of running the high
schools of the city. The report was
referred to the teachers' committee
for Its consideration and future rec
ommendation.

President Signs Measure
Making Money Orders as
Convenient as Bank Draft
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 6.—By President
Wilson's signature the bill to regulate
the payment of postal money orders
to-day became a law of the land. The
new statute will not become effective,
however, until rules and regulations
for its operation are promulgated by
the postmaster general. This prob
ably will require several months.
The bill provides for the Issuance
of postal money orders payable at any
money order office even though drawn
on a specific office and will, accord
ing to the postmaster general greatly
increase the volume of postal money
order business and prove a great help
to the business public giving, as it
does, to the postal money order the
\ irtues and convenience of a bank

ROYAL HOPED 10 USE
POLICE FORCE IN HIS
DELEGfITESHIP FIGHT
Blasting of This Hope One of His
Reasons For Rage Over
Lynch Resolution
The announcement of Mayor Royal
that, with the support of the McCor
mick wing of the Democratic party,
he will be a candidate for State dele
gate explains to a considerable de
gree the rage into which he was
thrown by the Lynch resolution re
moving practically all city employes
on March 1. Evidently the Mayor
had counted on swinging the police
force into line in support of his can
didacy for delegate and the threatened
removal of all the present officers
would leave him without the power
ful aid of the police force machine
that has been used so effectively in
the past. ■
From the very beginning of the
Royal administration It was- evident
that the Mayor was playing politics in
the police department. The appoint
ments were largely made by McCor
mick on one side and the Fritchey-
Stucker wing on the other, but Royal
was wise enough to make each man
he nominated distinctly understand
that he was being appointed as a re
ward for political services and none
of them was left in doubt as to where
Royal's policemen were expected to
stand politically during their terms.
This politically-chosen force has
been used by the Democrats in the
past to drive in votes at the polls
and Mayor Royal, it is said about
city offices, had counted upon it to
run Up a large majority for him in
the city in the delegateship fight. The
blasting of this hope is given as one
of the reasons why he has been so
enraged over the Lynch resolution.

DAUPHIN STREAMS
TO GET BIG TROUT
Yearling Fish Are Being "Planted"
Throughout the State by
Buller's Men
Over half a million trout will be
placed In the streams of the State
within the next six weeks by wardens
of the State Department of Fisheries
and people connected with fishing
clubs and associations who have
agreed with the State authorities to
look after the distribution of the
young fish. The distribution is being
carried on independently of what Is
being done by the national govern
ment agents and will cover the whole
State. Some fish have been placed on
eastern streams In the last fortnight.
Commissioner of Fisheries N. R.
Buller says that only yesterday trout
have been placed in the streams, it be
ing the Idea that such fish only should
be used as they can take care of
themselves and the percentage surviv
ing is far greater than when much
younger fish or fish fry are turned
loose. The fish are raised at State
hatcheries and sent out under agree
ments to properly distribute them and
to make reports on results of the
"planting."
It is the plan to stock streams of
Dauphin county for the first time with
brown trout this Spring. Some trout
were placed last Spring, but this year
Stony and other upper county creeks
will be stocked. In years gone by
these used to be noted for trout but
few are known now. Trout will be
placed In the Yellow Breeches in
Cumberland county and in other
streams across the Susquehanna.
