Adair schools will be authorized by the board of edu cation today, to eliminate the conges tion In the public schools resulting from the 1912 record-breaking attend ance.

SYRACUSE, N Y., Sept. 12.—The most notable gathering of Democrats) ever held in the state of New York outside of a state convention was as sembled In this city today. -It brought ; together under one roof the party’s nominee for president, a United States . i S' nator. the governor of the state, the | ) lieutenant governor, the leader of the great Democratic organization, Tam many Hall, and scores of men high In the councils of the party in both state and nation. The meeting place for these great men of the party was the Onondaga hotel Here Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany Hall, met Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, for the first time since the Democratic national i convention. Governor Dix and Lieu tenant Governor Conway met and shook hands with Governor Wilson. United States Senator O'Gorman, looked upon as Governor Wilson's representative and right-hand man in this state, saw the governor speak with the Tam many leader. Leaders high and low greeted the two executives and the Tammany lead er. As the day wore away the thing that seemed most significant was the apparent desire of Charles F. Murphy to make his presence known here, and by bls actions wear away as much as possible the sentiment that he knows exists within hls party against him in the upstate districts Big Powwows on Bill. The plans that had been made for the day called not only for the political gatherings at the Onondaga, including a meeting of the committee to name) presidential electors, a conference of I the state cofnmlttee and the county j committeemen of the state to be ad- ' dressed by Governor Wilson and Gov- ■ ernor Dix, but a score of social gath erings. Governor Wilson, Governor Dix, I Lieutenant Governor Conway and Sen- ' ator O’Gorman appeared at "the fair grounds and spoke. The morning meeting of the Demo cratic state committee, called for the purpose of choosing two presidential electonc-at-large and one elector from each congressional district, was quick ly over and without a contest that it had been thought would develop a test of strength between Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall and the men who are opposing him. | Governor Wilson and Governor Dix I will addljess the committee this after- 1 noon.' J . «... .. i Promises Tariff Revision. In a speech here today before a ] crowd of fanners attending the state i fair, Governor prom ised a revision ot.’the "diseased por tion” of the titfiff. ' " While the governor was speaking part of the grandstand collapsed, but no one was hurt. Charles A. Murphy, the Tammany leadeY of New York city, who had been an attentive listener up to that time, hurried away after the accident. . "The tariff,” said the Democratic presidential nominee. "Is a malignant growth that requires a surgical opera tion. If I am a surgeon and you are the. sufferer, will J say that I wil) see your declining years made unhappy? No; I will perform an operation. I will not touch a single tissue that is whole some. but I am going to cut out the diseased portion and save your life. The man who does not propose to cut out the deadly thing is a quack, not a sur geon. Don't let the quacking of quacks deceive you.” LYCEUM ASSOCIATION TO HOLD CONVENTION HERE NEXT SUMMER Through the efforts of the represen tatives of the Alkahest lyceuin bureau at the convention of the international Lyceum association, the 1913 conven tion has been obtained for Atlanta More than 2.000 entertainers and man agers of various bureaus will attend £he meeting here next September.

Brittain, state superintendent of schools, today addressed a letter to the attorney general, inquiring? into the validity of the present state board of education's title to office. Superintendent Brittain informed the attorney general that the inquiry was made upon the request of J. B. Pound. Unconfirmed appointee to the board of education of former Governor Hoke Smith, displaced by Governor Brown along with J. C. Langston, in favor of present members. Glenn and Moon. The superintendent of schools left his office early today for Alpharetta, and those in charge declined to give out any information concerning the purpose of the Pound inquiry. It is understood that Professor Pound specifically re quested that all such information be withheld. Presumably, it Is the purpope of Pro fessor Pound to attack thq title of the present board, with a view to<establish ing himself as a member of the board, under color of title.from former Gov ernor Smith. Governor Not in Row. So far as the present governor is concerned, he is not directly a party to the row supposedly inaugurated by the Brittain letter. He commissioned the present board, lifter appointing it in recess of the leg islature, and he is satisfied that its title is atjtple and secure. Any member of the board of educa tion holding title under a Brown com mission may or may not defend his title, if attacked. There is no question, of course, that such defense would be made, but with that the present gov ernor is not supremely concerned. While the governor will not discuss the matter at all, he is understood to be sitting most serenely in the tjoat. Aggrieved commissioners, or wduld-be commissioners, have their remedy at law. and the governor apparently be lieves the law will take care of the sit uation eventually. Langston Is Satisfied. J (' Langston, one of the Smith ap pointees displaced by Glenn and Moon wrote the governor a letter' several weeks ago, expressing his satisfaction with the status of things as Governor Brown had arranged them and telling the governor that h< Langston—would enter no protest against the Brown ap. jsdntments Mr Pound, up to within the past few days, is said not to have eonsldeted a contest himself, but under pressure of late, he seems to have com luded ty Inquire, at Mint. into the titl, of th, preßent board. ODD FELM IN STREET POE Negro Lodgemen in Gaudy Ari ay—Grand Ball at the Auditorium-Armory. The Grand United Order of Odd Fel lows, colored, this afternoon showed its numbers to Atlanta people with a grand parade from the state capltol to Ponee DeLeon park. The delegates as. sembled at the capitol at 1 o'clock and organized into a militant-looking body; then inarched down Mitchell street to . Whitehall. They turned north, going up Whitehall and out Peachtree street, to Ponce DeLeon circle, and from there to the park. The procession was head ed by the Tuskegee band.

The committee on re ception was busy there the early part of the morning, and put the room In order. Because of the entertainments of aft ernoon qnd evening no business ses sion was held by the lodge this morn ing. The election of officers, one event of great importance to them, will proba bly result in a warm fight for suprema cy between the Georgia and Mississip pi delegations against the New Jersey and Arkansas groups. The first indications of this came up late yesterday when general discussion of the candidacy of Benjamin H. Da vis, of Atlanta, for grand master was held. Georgia and Mississippi will vote solid for him, it is asserted, and the New Jersey and Arkansas delegations will lead the opposition. No candidate has been decided on by the two statea opposing the Atlanta lodge mbmber. DEATHS AND FUNERALS Miss Viola Moore.

Mr. Hlllyer is at present in Detroit attending the bankers' convention, and no one at his office would talk of the matter. The tract, which was purchas ed through the Charles P.
