The students of Boys High School are not in sympathy with the antimilitaristic propaganda being conducted In some ot the high schools of the city. Arthur L. Janes, the principal of the Boys High, today investigated a report that the anti-militaristic agitators were active In the school and found that there was little basis to the reports. "There were a few circulars attacking the principle of military training in the high schools distributed here by a coterie of three', or, at the very most, four boys," he says. "As far a I can find out only 20 Of the 3,700 boys In the school knew of their activities.

On Monday one of -the circulars was posted on the bulletin board and within- five minutes was torn down by other boys. The same thing happened on Tuesday. Their propaganda reached but a few boys In' the school." Mr. Janes said he intended to prosecute the investigation. HEARING FOR MISS DUNCAN School Principal Before Board ef Aldermen Today.

Mrs. Jeannette Miller of 106 Logan street, who has complained to the school authorities and to the Board of Aldermen that Miss Mary Duncan, principal of Public School No, 65, Richmond street, near Fulton, is unfit to conduct the school, because, it is alleged, she introduced issues among other things, will appear before the Board at its meeting today, and will probably be heard late this afternoon. Mrs. Miller declares that she has submittal a complaint to Local School Board Membetr Weeks, and has been informed that she will be granted a hearing some time within the next week or ten days. Miller again reiterated her charges against Miss Duncan, and denies that the controversy originated from any causes other than those specified in her complaint.

She also declared that some of the teachers in the school were in sympathy with her in the matter. WHITMAN TO SIGN WAR CENSUS BILL Would Have Complete Enumeration of Men, Wealth and Industries of State. 'WOMEN ARE AVAILABLE." Governor Says Such a Measure Would Bo Valuable to Slate and U. S. Oniclals.

Albany, March 9 In" a formal statement issued today. Governor Whitman announced that if the Legislature passes the Robinson bill calling for a war census- of the men, wealth and industries of the State, he will "sign it. The statement in part follows: "The census and inventory of resources of the State, available for use In the event of war, would include the women available for service as well as the men, money, the industrial and material resources of the State, munitions and military supplies manufactured or procurable within the State. Military strength depends upon the organization and untillzatlon of such resources; a knowledge of such assets available for use In the event of war would be of undoubted advantage to the Federal and State authorities. "I have already directed the Adjutant General to utilize to the fullest extent the Information obtainable from a State census which has only recently been completed, and which should afford substantial Information on which to base an enrollment.

But a mere list of names can be of little value. The enrollment or inventory of the State's resources must be made with a view to encouraging men and women to apply themselves in the direction in which they can make the best use of their talents In case of en emergency; and they must be made to appreciate that what they are doing is going to be particularly useful. "If the act referred to is passed by the Legislature, It will- have my approval as providing additional means of carrying forward the work of military preparedness to all measures for the accomplishment of which, I have given my heartiest support and encouragement."

Sweeney's Home at 2 M. ALARM AWAKES NEIGHBORHOOD Had Persistently Telephoned, Asking to Talk With Wife Self-Defense, He Says. Harry C. Nail, one-time active in Republican circles in the Eighteenth Assembly District, was In 'ho Flatbush today, charged with assaulting Anthony J. Sweeney of 2775 Bedford avenue, his father-in-law, and former partner in the garage business In Flatbush.

Kail was accused of climbing Into a window of his fa'her-in-law's home at 2 o'clock this morning and beating Mr. Sweeney with his hands and kicking him. The disturbance created an uproar in thq, residential section at Bedford avenue and Avenue as the members, of Mr. Sweeney's family used a police whistle to summon aid. Magistrate Dodd today held Nail in $1,000 bail for trial in the Court of Special Sessions on a charge of assault in tho third degree.

Nail told the police when ho was arrested that he was without a home at present. According to Sweeney, Nail, last night, made frequent calls to the house to communicate with his wife. Anastasia. who is living at her father's home. The telephone calls became so persistent, he said, that the family finally had to remove the telephom receiver from, the hook, so that nt more calls could be made.

About 2 o'clock Mrs. Nail heard someone moving about the lower part of the house and on investigation it proved to be Nail, lie had his shoes In his overcoat pockets at the time, but the noise he made stumbling over furniture betrayed his presence. He had entered the house by climbing through a window. Nail asserted today thai, his father-in-law attacked him with a sword and that he administered the beating Mr. Sweeney complained about in self-defense and to take the sword away from Mr.

Sweeney. When members of the Sweeney family ran to the telephone to call the police, they found that the telephone operators did not answer their calls, probably because the line had been left open all night. So they had to uw a police whistle, and awaken the neighborhood by its shrill blasts to summon the police. Nail has had a tempestuous career. Early in January Joseph Alexander Mayers, with some friends, descended on the Mayers' home at 292 East Seventeenth street, and alleged that they found Nail there.

The raiders, according to their story, were greeted by Mayers with the admonition, "don't hurry, Harry." Actions, are pending in the courts. WHITE HATS STRIKE? "JOKE" Says Grantlund Organization Says It Wants Fair Treatment. The threatened strike of the White Rats, an organization made up largely of disgruntled actors, is not bothering Brooklyn vaudeville managers. The latest announcement of Harry Mount-ford, chief mogul of the White Rats, ordering a strike in seventeen theaters In New York, was not taken seriously. "This White Rats strike is a Joke," said N.

T. Grantlund, publicity man for Marcus Loew, today. "We are no, a bit. worried about it. We have already had actors and agencies volunteer their services in the event that we need them." Harry Mountford stated today that the grievances of the White Rats included their refusal to pay more than 5 per cent, booking commission and to nlav more than three performances a day.

He said they wanted an equi table contract ana a Closed snop. Mr. Mountford claims that five theaters in Chicago and two in Boston are affected by the strike. FALL KILLS SHIP STEWARD Max Kellener. 35 years old, steward on the Interned liner Vaterland.

1 NEW BAPTIST TEMPLE SOON J. W. Allis Says Edifice Will Inv prove on One Burned. J. W.

Allis, president of the Board of Trustees of the Baptist Temple, which was destroyed by fire, said today that the church would be rebuilt as soon as possible. Mr. Allis figured the loss at from $125,000 to $150,000. The building was insured for $90,000. Nothing has been discovered to show that there was anything suspicious about the fire, and the accepted opinion is that it was of electrlo origin.

Mr. Aim said also that the congregation would hold its Sunday morning and afternoon services In Memorial Hall of the T. W. C. and the evening services in the Musio Hall of the Academy of Music.

"The new building will conform to tho lines of the old one," said Mr. Allis. "While we have not yet gone Into the details, we hope to make many improvements on the old building."

Criticism of city officials was expressed last night at the regular monthly meeting of the Lefferts Park Improvement League held at Public School Fifteenth avenue and Seventy-first street. John R. Pinover, president of tho league, declared that although had been appropriated to Garyize the public schools, not one cent had been set aside for School District No.

37. in which eighteen schools aro located. He said the people of the section were not keen for the Gary system, because it tended to crowd children in the schools, rather than spread them over a wider area. In spite of this, some provision should be made, he contended, to either build new schoolhouses or, at least, to add extensions to the already overcrowded buildings. Conditions upon the stations of the new West Ehd line, as well "as in the streets leading to them, were also complained of.

Mr. Pinover announced that a special meeting of the league would be called within the next couple of weeks to discuss the bill Introduced by Senator Cullen providing for the maintenance In Brooklyn of all city departments.

GABURRI In loving memory of our beloved mother and grandmother, ADA BYRON OA BUR Hi, who entered Into rest March 9, 1912, at Boston, Mass. Thus do we walk with her and keep unbroken The bond which nature gives, Thinking that our remembrance, though unspoken, May reach her where she Uvea, i Lawyer Confident Citizens Will Get Hearing Despite Order, to Show Cause.

ARGl'MENT NEXT WEDNESDAY. City Oflk'inls Europe Court Appear-aiicc Temporarily by IMiani'C of Justice Rich's Order. An order to show causo why Supreme Court Justice James C. Crop-sey should not be prohibited from holding an open court inquiry into the (leal made by the Mayor and theJthcr city officials with the New York Central Railroad Company, to give land on the west side of Manhattan for railroad yards, was served today on William M. Bennett, attorney for five citizens, who some time ago filed the petition and had been granted the hearing by Justice Cropsey.

The hearing had; been set for to morrow and yesterday Assistant Cor' poration Counsel Thomas F. Magner rushed Into the Appellate Division and got Justice Rich to sign the order to show cause. Ic Is returnable next Wednesday and on that day William M. Bennett, attorney for the petition eis, will appear in court to oppose the granting of the writ of prohibition which has been asked. The order signed by Justice Rich contains a stay, so that the hearing granted by Justice Cropsey will not go on tomorrow.

"I am very much surprised at the action of the city officials." said Law-yer Bennett today, "in view of the statements made when the summons to appear in court and be questioned was handed to them. You will remember that Mayor Mitchel said he would be glad to go to court and answer any questions and that Controller Prendergast said he would be glad to 'enlighten the court, for the court apparently needs Now the Controller has decided that he would not bo very firm or look very well in his Intended pott of tl)0 Statu of Liberty, and the Mayor also Is afraid to, come into court. Incidents at a recent hearing before the Board or Estimate on the West Side deal showed that both the Mayor and the Controller are woefully ignorant of the details of this project. It is plain they fear the inquiry. "We will get the hearing, eventually, you may rest assured, and then wo will show that neither the Mayor nor the Controller had any idea of what they were doing when they fostered and furthered this transaction with the railroad company.

"There are same things about this proceedihg by the Corporation Counsel that'I do not understand. In 1913 there was an amendment to the law so that it became necessary to serve notice on the justice of all applications for a writ of prohibition. In the light of that amendment I fail to see why they failed to serve Justice Cropsey with the notice." The procedure in an application for a writ of prohibition does not require the Justice who is involved to take any part in the proceeding, and the burden is placed on the parties who asked for the hearing to convince the Appellate Division that Justice Cropsey is clothed with the power to grant and hold such a hearing. It is understood that Justice Cropsey will take no part in the hearing whatever. The mere fact that he signed the order granting the hearing will be before the Appellate Division as his opinion of the law in the case.

The burden of the argument on Wednesday, if it is heard then, will be as to the constitutionality of Section 1,634 of the City Charter, the claim of the Corporation Counsel being that the law is not valid. Lawyers who were interested in the latest legal move in the West Side matter pointed to the fact that when Van Wyck was Mayor he was haled to the Supreme Court for examination under the same section of the Charter. He made an attempt to stave off the Investigation, as Mayor Mitchel is now doing, and he failed. The late Justice Gaynor upheld the constitutionality of the section, and wrote that it was passed to enable the rentpayers and taxpayers to keep watch of their city officials and, by publicity, prevent betrayals of public trust by officials. So far Justice Cropsey has not been served with a copy of the order.

READY Foil AXY EMERGENCY. Commissioner's Arrangements for Pro. tcttlon or City WiRer Supply Completed by Experts. Police Commissioner Woods announced today his plans for guarding the New York City Aqueduct from Ashokan to the city line, with a special force of l.luO policemen, to be appointed with full powers of the city's regular The emergency measure suggested by. Mayor Mitchel and Commissioner Woods, which empowers the city to police the Aqueduct line up State, has passed the Legislature and has been indorsed by the Mayor.

It is expected Governor Whitman, who approved the bill, will promptly sign it. Commissioner Woods said he was ready to begin the mobilization of his force of special patrolmen at a moment's notice. He plans to appoint Alexander M. White of Brooklyn, whom ho placed at the head of the Home Defense League recently, as a deputy commissioner and believes that the Board of Estimate will vote him the salary of a deputy copimissioner a year. If the board passes favorably on White's salary he will assume full charge of the special force and with Inspector Cornelius F.

Caha-lane as aid, will take over the work of the militia in guarding the Aqueduct. Details of the plan have been thoroughly worked out by experts of the Police Department, It provides for the splitting up of the Aqueduct line into five districts, with a captain in charge of each one. The captains will be appointed from the ranks of the lieutenants of the Police Department, but will serve at their present salary of $2,250 a year. Three sergeants from the New York force will be acting lieutenants in the' Aqueduct squad, and they will receive their present salary of $1,750 a vear. The regular New York City Police will guard the Aqueduct below the city line.

The Yonkers department will police the route passing through their city, and from the northern end of Yonkers, the special police will charge. Hie first district of the Aqueduct police will take in the territory from Yonkers to Kensico, the second from Kensico to Croton, the third from Croton to the east side of the Hudson River opposite Storm King Mountain, the fourth from Storm King to Wal-kill Creek and the fifth from Walkill Creek to Ashokan. Precinct headquarters will be estab. lished as follows: First, White Plains; second, Pleasnntville; third, Peek-skill; fourth, Saint Elmo, and fifth, High Falls. Village authorities and postofflce of.

ficials in the various towns have agreed to provide quarters for the men in farm. houses and private families where they will receive the best of food and lodging at reasonable rates. Since the publication of the plans for the establishment of this force, Commissioner Woods has received more than 1,500 applications from men anxious to join; 300 have been selected. RAISE GOODS PRICES IF COAL STAYS HIGH Soft Grades Doubled-Manufac-turers Will Be Forced to Charge More for Production. B.

R. T. IS HARD PINCHED. Brooklyn's Industrial Plants All Hard Pressed Must Make Up Expenscg Somehow. If the price of bituminous coal docs not go down soon the consumer will have to pay higher prices for manufactured articles, according to Brooklyn manufacturers, who have been paying big bills for fuel.

Soft coal Is now bringing double Its normal price. Lack of cars and of labor at the mines has prevented the flow of con tract coal this way in normal quanti ties. When the industrial plants can not get tne amount or coal their con tract calls for they have to go out into the market and buy coal "from speculators at speculators' prices." They are today charging $7.50, $8 and $8.50 a for coal which must be had, but which formerly cost $3.50 a ton. The B. R.

T. and the Interborough are both finding it very hard to jjet coal. The purchasing agent of the B. H. T.

said: "We are living a hand-to-piouth existence. We have a little surplus on hand, but not what It should be." The Interborough reported plenty of coal on hand to fill all Its needs. A canvass of some of the large Industrial plants showed that while there is no danger that uny one of them will close down, they are all paying so much for coal that it will soon be necessary to raise the price of manufactured products to make expenses.
