MAJORITY IS
AGAINST MERGER
WITH HARVARD

Boston, Dec 6.--Two opposing reports
were presented today at a special meeting
OF the Andover Alumni association by the
committee OF conference appointed last
summer, to consider and report upon the
future Of Andover Theological seminary,
especially with the proposed removal to
Cambridge and affiliate with Harvard uni
vers>ity
The main report signed by three Of the
FIVE members OF the committee, opposes
this plan and holds that Andover may still
find its greatest usefulness and success In
the present loca ton.
The minority held that removal TO Cam
bridge and such affiliaton with Harvard
as that proposed would be for the great
est good OF the seminary and its stu
dents
The two reports arc agreed that Ando-
ver must find much OF its future useful
ness in the education OF ministers for the
foreign popula ton and that only by rad
lcally broadening the scope Of its teach
ings and its work can the seminary hope
90 achieve results such as its founders
hoped for. The reports are also agreed
that there should be a separate and dis
tnct board OF trustees for Andover sem
mary. apart from tho board OF trustees
OF Phillips academy, whereas At present
there Is only one board for both insti-
tutions.
The majority contend that II any change
OF location Is 10 be made. the question
should I'm any event be considered only
after such separate board OF trustees had
been secured
The adverse report OF the majority Of
the alumni will act as check IL Is said.

ward. now understood TO be favored by ths
trustees.

SPELLING REFORM IN
NEWARK CITY SCHOOLS
New OrthOgraphy Three Hundred
Words Sanctioned by President
May Be Adopted There.

NEWARK, Aug. 30.-The reform
In the spelling of some three hundred
words in the English language which
a Just been given the sanction of
h President of the United States
may be extended to the Newark pub
Tic school system within a compare
lively short period. In an interview
yesterday City Superintendent of
Schools Poland said that he was
heartily in sympathy with the chan
ges in spelling proposed, and Assist
ant Superintendent Corson added that
he was quite ready to do his part at
inaugurating the reform in the New
ark schools, as soon as the step had
been authorized.
DR.. Poland explained that the New
York school authorities had practi-
cally adopted the new spelling of the
three hundred words which President
Roosevelt has directed Public Print
er Stillings to adopt and make use
OF In all messages coming from the
President and all other documents
coming from the White House. With
the new spelling in use in New York,
Newark, being in the Metropolitan
district, could do nothing else but
fall in line.
Spelling reformers have been at
work for many years, and the list of
800 simplified words was prepared
by the spelling reform committee. of
which Professor Brander Matthews,
of Columbia University, is the chair
man, substantially assisted in a finan-
cial way by Andrew Carnegie, who is
a spelling reform enthusiast. Some
time ago the committee prevailed
upon many persons to agree to use
a simplified spelling of a number of
common words, such as thru for
through and tho" for though, and
these forms have been steadily be-
coming more and nor popular. The
new list of 300 words, however, is a
far more radical change than that
just alluded to, and will work many
advantages, as well as not a few tenn
porary disadvantages.
The introduction of the new spell
ing to the schools of Newark would
not be a very difficult matter. Lists
of the words would no doubt be given
every teacher and the children would
be at once set to work to adopt the
new photography. The change would,
OF course, come nardeSl upon tne old-
er pupils, and the small children
would find 1t the easiest, since they
would not know of any other spell
ing for most of the words. But the
simpler spelling would in the end be
easier for poor spoilers and quite as
easy for those who take to spelling
without unusual labor. 1t is believed
that nearly all the principals and
teachers will be quite ready to adopt
the simplified spelling, while most
of them would take up the new move
ment with enthusiasm.

RIVAL PLACE
FOR OLD SHIPS
WeehaWken Heights Completes
With Perth AmhOy in the Dis
pOSal of Old Crafts.

Perth Amboy has a rival in its
marine graveyard. Weehawken
Heights has a fine collection, OF
which the following article from the
New York Globe tells:
What becomes of all the schooners,
tugboats, scows and barges which
are sunk in the waters surrounding
Manhattan Island. This is a question
which many New Workers have asked
themselves, but few have ever taken
the trouble to find an answer. To
those who have, it meant a very
slight expenditure for a large amount
of pleasure. Though a graveyard of
ships is surely an artistic sight, it
does not appeal to everybody.
Hoboken has some rare and curl
GUS sights; one of them is the big
hole in the ground just north of the
Fourteenth street ferry, where the
Pennsylvania railroad is boring its
way into the heart of Manhattan. But
the port of missing ships lying in the
shadow Of W~eehawken Heights is far
more interesting from an artistic
point of view.
The port in reality is nothing more
or less than an odd corner in the
North river, where the Baxter Wreck
ing Company harbors all the old
wrecks of the past fifteen years. Some
of them are in fair condition, others
are mere hulks, with great gaping
holes in their sides, torn by larger
craft.
They all cluster together in the
black mud, the tide rising and fall
ing about them, but they are too far
gone to ride the waters. With a
strong ebb tide flowing them seem
to try and hide their broken forms in
the sand and mud.
Story of the Lawrence Haines.
Very few would recognize the
schooner Lawrence Haines, one of the
finest schooners travelling on the
high sea from Boston way until the
steamer Nantasket struck her amid
ships in the fog in Hellgate and sent
her to the bottom of the river. Her
hulk now lies in the graveyard, hav-
ing been resurrected from the deep
by the wrecking crew, who towed her
to her final resting place.
Her deck is still intact. Her masts,
of course, are gone, and she is half
filled with water. At high tide the
water roams at will over her decks,
coming through the ugly hole on her
port side. But the wrecking crew
say that wonders can be done to her,
and once they get their pumps to
working and patch the hole up, she
will float again as before, and can be
turned into a pretty good rate schoon-
er.
The men who save the ships dwell

for the greater part in a large sarge,
where the engines are kept going to
work the ten-inch pumps. The crew
consists of Capt. Behrens, Chef Gil
pen, Carl Smith, the engineer, and
several helpers. The living rooms are
mostly furnished with leavings from
the wrecks, and the steaks are boil
ed over Goals which have been lying
at the bottom of the river or bay for
many years.
The photograph of a young and
pretty girl hangs in the engine room.
The frame is very much worse for
wear from lying at the bottom of the
river, but the photograph is unharm-
ed. 1t was found in the Lawrence
Haines, and the engineer is keeping
it for the sake of good luck and
cheer.
Just west of the Lawrence Haines
lies the hulk of the tugboat G. H.
Notter, which was a crack tugboat
about thirty years ago in the harbor.
Its engine and boiler are rusty with
age and contact with the water. She
lies well under the shade of the
wrecking barges, and the captain says
he has put her there to keep her
from seeing the tugboats of the pres
ent day.
"They might make her feel bad, >
he said, being she was once the
pride of the river"
A near neighbor to c. H. Notter is
the framework of one of the scows
which was lying alonside the North
German Lloyd docks when they were
burned to the waters edge. She float
ed up the river with the tide, it is
said, and drifted into the graveyard
of her own accord. She now Ties
beached high and dry, and the mark
of fire upon her hulk Is her only cpl
taph.
Nearby lies the Mollie Barton, a
canal boat from up the Hudson which
disgraced herself during the recent
visit of the French squadron by col
liding with the flagship. She sank to
the bottom of the river, but was soon
brought to the surface by the Baxter
crew, and is now lying with her I'M
fortunate brothers and sisters in the
graveyard.
Perhaps one of the most interest
ing boats is the torpedo shaped
launch with which Sorenson expected
to navigate the ocean, and upon the
exploitation of his theory managed to
sink thousands of dollars belonging
to other people. The launch is still
in good condition, even to it's pro-
peller, and could be made into an
excellent excursion boat for small
parties.
There are several barges filled with
coal. The coal has a steely color.
Anything, says the captain, would
have a steely color after it had been
lying at the bottom of the river for
twenty years. The coal, however,
burns quite as well as if it had just
arrived from the mines.
Some days are busy days for the
crew. Frequently all the men have
to do is to sit in the shade on the
top of a barge and twiddle their
thumbs, waiting for something to
sink. One of the crew said he felt
like an undertaken.
