Americans and British Play For
Newnes Trophy.
New York, April 18.-Once more ten
representatives of America will meet
IAN equal number of experts Of Great
Britain in order to contest a team
chess match over the Atlantic cable
for possession of a tDphy, presented
by Sir George Newnes, of London,
six years ago. The match will be
played at this end at the Brooklyn
academy of music under the auspices
of the Brooklyn Chess club, while the
Britishers will conduct their games at
the Cafe -onaco, London, the days of
playing being tomorrow and Saturday.
According to the rules of the con-
test, the side winning tire consecu-
tive matches will be declared the alb
solute owner of the $1,000 trophy, and
as the Americans have already placed
two consecutive victories to their cred
it, this years contest may decide the
distinction of winning the trophy from
Great Britain. From the opinions of
those competent to judge in this city
and London, the chances are that the
Americans again will win, as the COM
position of their team is much strong
er than Great Britain's.

TERMS ARE TWO EAR
School Law of 1899 is U~nconstitu.
tionaI.

Assuming that it makes no differ.
ence whether there is conflict between
the new and old laws regarding the
appointment of trustees of county
free high schools, Attorney General
Donovan, in an opinion given in re-
Spouse to the inquiry of State Super
intendent of Public Instruction W. w.
WEIGH, holds that the state constitu-
ton renders the old law absolutely
imperative. The old law provides
that the term of office of trustees shall
be three years.
Subdivision 6 of article IS of the
constitution, says, "the legislative
assembly may provide for the election
or appointment of such other county,
township, precinct and municipal Of
fcers as public convenience may re-
quire. not in any case to exceed two
years, except as in this constitution
otherwise provided"
The attorney general holds that the
trustees of county free high schools
are county officers, and by the provis-
ions of the constitution the legislature
has no power to provide for their ap-
polntment for a term to exceed two
years. Under this opinion the law of
1899 is unconstitutional, and the ap-
pointment of the old boards of trus-
tees under it gives them no rights as
against the boards appointed under
the new law.
But aside from the unconstitutional.
ity OF the old law the attorney general
the new law would render the
law OF 1899 imperative.

BILE that broke out in the Nerves Wood

charged, it is GAINED, for joining the

the officials of the American Sheet
Steel company were equally deter
mined. During the morning session
of the executive board, John Jarrett.
acting for the American Sheet Steel
company, appeared with a proposition
for the members to consider regard
ing a settlement of the difficulty.
In general, this proposition was that
all men discharged from the &, Wood
plant would be reinstated, including
Holloway, and that all but Holloway
should return to work at once, Hollo-
way to be returned within ten days.
The board insisted that Holloway
should be treated in the same hammer
