a LEGAL TANGLE.
School Directors fiaY Make Il Ten
ftili Levy.

ONNPG4, July 29-School directors
have the power under the 1907 law to
levy a special tax OF as high as 10 mills
for general school purposes without sub
mitting the levy to a vote of the elec-
tors OF the district, in the opinion of
Assistant Attorney General A. j. Falk-
nor, given Deputy State superintendent
f. B. Dewey, today. A legal opinion
was required to sraignten out the tangle
in the law caused by the amendment in
the code OF public instructions made by
the last legislature. The amended law
gave the school boards authority to make
the 10 mills levy and they lett in the law
complete regulations providing for the
manner of handling an election for such
tax leves. After reciting the law the
opinion reads:
"In the amending of the old law the
legislature evidently failed to harmonize
the remaining portion of the section
after striking ont the proviso. If the
| board of directors, as is provided in the
new law. have authority to make the
levy, any subsequent reference in the
statute to the manner of holding an
election which was necessary under the
old proviso, becomes ineffective. AS the
law now stands, no doubt the board OF
directors could take largely in an ad-
visory way the provisions retained in
the new law declaring how the election
should be held. But the grant of power
to the board of directors is SO plenary
that the attorney general is of the
opinion that the levy OF 10 mills on the
dollar may be without submission to
the vote OF the electors"

MITTEE REPORTS.
An Exhaustive Study of Public Own

Questions Involved,

New YORK, July 29.-The final report
OF the conclusions of the committee on
investigation Of the National Civic Fed
Grafton commission on public ownership
and operation was given to the public
last week. This committee, OF which
Melville E. Ingalls,, chairman of the
board OF directors OF the Big Four rail-
road, is chairman, made a thorough in.
vestlgation OF municipal and private
workings OF gas, electric light, water and
street railway plants, both in the United
States and England. 1t is worthy of
note that of the mitteemen, all but
one, Walton Clark, Of Philadelphia, who
presents a separale paper giving his
views. sign the report.
The report recently made public by
MIR. Moffett. the secretary, says:
"Our investigations teach us that no
municipal operation is likely to be high.
ly successful that does not provide for:
"First--An executive manager with
full responsibility. holding his position
during good behavior.
"Second-Exclusion Of political influ.
ence and personal favoritism from the
management of the undertaking.
"Third-Separation of the finances OF
the undertaking from those OF the rest
of the city.
"Fourth-Exemption from the debt
limit OF the necessary bond issues for
revenue.pf oducing utilities, which shall
be first charge upon the property and
revenues of such undertaking."
The committee sums up its more i'm
portant conclusions as follows:
public utilities, whether in public or
private hands, are best conducted under
system OF legalized and regulated
monopoly.
"Pubic utilities in which the sanitary
motive largely enters should be operated
by the public
"The success OF municipal operation OF
public utilities depends upon the exist.
ence in the city of high capacity for
municipal government.
| Franchise grants to private corpora
tions should be terminable after fixed
period and meanwhile subject to pur-
chase at a fair value.
municipalities should have the power
to enter the field Of municipal ownership
upon popular vote under reasonable
regulations.
"Prvate companies operating public
utilities should be subject to public regu.
lation aud examination under a system
of uniform records and accounts and Of
full publicity"

The haze lay thick upon the river,
yesterday morning, and Il was bare
ly daylight when the operation of
docking the bow was commenced.
The after-part OF the ship was al.
ready in dock, ballasted and firmly
fixed upon the block in readiness TO
receive the new bow for which she
had been waiting so long. Four
square logs 40 feet long had been
fastened to the plates OF the after
part of the ship for the purpose OF
regulating the distance. When the
bow was admitted TO the basin the
most careful handling was impera-
tive, but the bow was accurately
centered and pulled into position by
the aid OF her own steam winches,
and careful measurements then re-
snlted in the satisfactory announce
ments that II had been worked into
the exact position required. II the
least miscalculation had been made
Il would have been necessary 20 re-
float the bow and perform the deli
cate feat anew.

line of work between the various
Glasses OF trades employed. In the
building trades Cancellation boards
were, np to 1905, of IA local character
only, but in that year a national
scheme OF conciliation was formed.
OF the 724s cases settled by con-
ciliation boards in the last ten years.
only 92 Cor about l per cent? were
preceded by a stoppage of work.
Most of the boards provided that all
their decisions or the awards OF their
arbitrators shall be final and binding
and few go further and impose
money penalty for breach OF agree
ment or award.
This penalty has in one or two
cases been enforced, not only on the
employers, but on the men.
Following upon the recent confer
ence in London between the various
European maritime employers fed
erations, steps are now being taken
by each OF the countries represented
to appoint two delegates TO the in
ternational committee which is TO
formulate a scheme of international
cooperation for dealing with labor
disputes.
The coutries selecting delegates
are Belgium, Denmark, France, Ger

MEN WHO HAVE ACHIEVED
A PHENOMENAL GROWTH

Nothing bespeaks the liberality
and substantially of a progressive
community so well as the fact that
perfect strangers can come here, be
made welcome, get into a small busi-
ness and build II up to large proper
tons in a few years. While they are
not the only ones who have done
these things, McEvoy Brothers, of the
Chicago Store, are striking examples
to attest the fact above stated. From
a small cubby-hole, crammed with
cheaper grades of goods, on Court
street, with one clerk, they have ex-
panded in a few years to a large
corner store on Commercial street,
It's feet deep, and occupying two
floors, and part of Il with three
floors, and 32 employees at this writ
ing. They have all departments of
stock well supplied, maintain
millinery and suit de-
partment, and buy direct of Marshall
Field e. Co. and other large eastern
houses. James McEvoy, as mana
ger, has developed great ability as
a dry goods merchnant, and his
brother, Michael, has a reputation
for being as good a judge of fabrics
and the wants of the trade as can be
folnd on the Pacific coast. The
Chicago Store is too we'll known to
need further commendation to our
readers.

DR.. Ferinand Mack OF Hamburg
proposes to add to the terrors OF
chess by raising II 20 the third di-
mension. He proposes cubical chess
as an advance on the existing game
The cabling he proposes 10 accom-
plish by rigging a series OF eight
chess boards one above another, con-
Meeting them at corners by thin
rods. The scope of the game would
thus extend TO 512 squares instead OF
Ga.
At the opening of the game the
pieces and nawns are to be arranged
as at present, on the lowest board,
but each player has an extra set OF
pawns which he places on the king
row of the second board. These are
supposed to protect the row of pieces
beneath them against attack from
above. Each player has, therefore,
"a eombatants at his disposal.
The moves are extensions OF the
present moves to the conditions OF
the cube. The rocks, for instance
can mount from one board to an
other along vertical lines only, the
bishops only on diagonals.
The queen can Jump from one cor.
ner of the lowest board TO any OF
the other boards on vertical or dias
onal lines. The knight cannot eiimD
or descend more than two boards
in his own peculiar way. The moves
of the king and pawns cannot exeeu
more than one board. and they must
choose between changing boards ana
changing squares on the same board
DIR. Maack's invention has not peen
received with entire good humor py
chess players. Some of them write
to the papers that the game was
enough for the ordinary brain al
ready, and when 1t came TO havins
the king climb out of check by get
ting on the roof of the chessooard'
