WILL DECIDE ON NAVAL

Army and Navy Board Plans to Take Up
Question and Report to the
President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE joint army
and navy board, which is considering
Philippine Notifications, has divided itself
into as many Committees of one as there
are members, and individual reports will
be presented at an early date on the ques-
ton of whether a naval base shall be es-
tablished at SubiG Bay or Manila Harbor.
By an exchange Of ideas. which are to
include drafts of plans for fortiications,
the joint board expects to reach a decision
so that a final report can be made to
President Roosevelt before Congress con-
veles.
Whatever the decision as to the location
OF the naval base may be 1t has been set

Smaller School Body Ques-
ton Carried by Margin
Of 1900 Votes.
TO Be NAMED BY MAYOR
Shown That People Generally
Gave Proposition Serious
Thought Doubt of Some Re-
moved as to When Present
Commissioners Retire.

The newly elected School Commits
sioners will not hold office at the be-
ginning of next cal, the people on
Tuesday showing by an unmistakable
vote their preference for an appointIVe
school board of nine members.
The small school board referendum
resolution was drawn by Assistant City
Attorney Charles A. Meyers. The act
providing for appointment of the small
board in case of a popular vote on the
referendum was enacted in
the special session of 1903, and stated
in definite terms that appointees to the
small board shall hold office beginning
January ] next. 1t reads in part:
1.-THE Mayor shall during the month Of
December next after acceptance of the
provision of tins section appoint nine per-
sons to be members OF the Board of Edu-
cation. Three of said persons shall be APP
pointed for one year, three for two years,
md three for three years, and annually
thereafter. during the month of December,
the said Mayor or other chief executive
officer of such city shall appoint three
members of said Board of Education to
serve for the term of three years, to take
the place of the three members whose term
shall expire with such year.. The term OF
office of n member of the Board of Educa-
ton, except a member appointed to fill an
~unexpired term, shsil begin on the first day
of January next succeeding his appoint
meflt."
Until late yesterday afternoon there
was some dispute as to whether the
new school board of nine members to
be appointed by Mayor Haussling
would take office this year or in 1909.
A discussion of this municipal prob
lem among lawyers led to the belief
that the commissioners elected last
Tuesday will not serve, and that in
their stead nine men appointed by the
Mayor will manage the educational af-
fairs of this city.
The contention that the newly elected
school commissioners must serve be-
cause they were elected Is disposed of
with the explanation that the election
was held SO that in the event of the
defeat of the small board project there
would, be commissioners ready to as
sumo office January i, 1908,
regard to the. small. school board
law, City Counsel James r. Nugent
sadd that. the act will take effect after
it is certified to by the Secretary OF
State that the voters of Newark, had
approved the law. which provides that
the Mayor must appoint nine members
of. n new school board on or before
January ! following, n the law lesis-
lated the present school commissioners
out of Office.
Considerable surprise is expressed in
some directions over the favoring of
the small board. The present commits
sicners, as well as those elected Tues
day, worked tooth and nall, it is said,
to accomplish it's defeat.
There was a heavy vote ON the prop
osition, over $4,000 votes being polled
in favor of it. It's majority was over
1900.
There has been considerable criti-
cism of the management of school
affairs.

wireless" Across the Ocean.

Marconi is now at his Cape Breton
station, intent upon giving practical
form to his old idea of establishing
a wireless commercial service from
shore to shore.
In 1903 the first commercial mes
sage across the ocean by wireless
telegraph was sent from Wellfeet,
on Cape Cod, to Poldhu, Wales, via
Glace Bay, Cape Breton, and from
Poldhu 1t was forwarded to its des-
tination in London. Previous to
this the inventor of the wireless
telegraph-his claim is at least as
good IN this respect as was Fulon's
in regard to the steamboat or Bells
in regard to the telephone-had sent
a message from President Roosevelt
addressed to the crowned heads and
other state dignitaries of Europe.
After this preliminary success the
Young inventor-he was then in his
twenties-said that in the course of
six months or so he would open his
WelIfeet station for commercial
purposes. For various reasons he
did not or could not keep his word.
But he has not been marking time.
On the contrary, he has been gradu-
ally perfecting his invention, which
is now only one of many in the
field, and in particular he has been
improving the service which he es-
tablished for the benefit of the
transatlantic steamship lines. He
turned things around. The thing
which he had planned 70 do first
which was 10 open a transoceanic
service, he has apparently decided
to do last.
