District school Supervision

District School Supervision.
The State law under which contig-
nous towns may unite for the purpose
of employing superintendent of
schools is proving of great advantage
to the educationa, system OF Maine.
Already forty Eve towns have taken
advantage of it, and have formed
seventeen supervisory districts.
In these districts superintendent
have been engaged who are trained
to do work, and who devote their
entire time to it, condition of things
that cannot be expected from super
intendents as they are usually chosen.
Under the law the State aids in the
payment of the salaries of district
superintendents, thus enhancing the
efficiency of the service at decreased
cost to the towns forming district.
The system thus far has worked
greatly to the advantage of the towns
which have adopted it.
In Hancock county two districts
have been formed under the new law
-Bluehill, Brooklin and Sedgwick
forming one; Vinalhaven Knox
county, Deer Isle, Stonington and
Isle au Haut the other.
There has been talk here in Els
worth Of inviting the school boards
of one or more contiguous towns to
consider the propriety of forming a
district.

The greatest sensation of many
months in political circles was precipi-
tated by the Presidents injunction to
the members of his cabinet, and
through them to other federal officials,
that Office holders must not promote
third term sentiment. From the most
authoritative sources it is learned that
the order is to the effect that no fed
efal officeholder may vote to instruct
delegates for the President, nor may
he, If elected delegate, permit him.
self to be instructed for Mr.. Roose-
welt. Senators and representatives
are daily arriving in Washington in
large numbers, and several of them
have recently informed the President
that their etfortsein behalf Of Secre-
tary Taft are being thwarted by the
promotion of third term sentiment by
federal officials, and the President is
said to have exclaimed: 'That has
got to be stopped, and stopped mighty
suddenly" Hence the order to the
members of the cabinet to restrain at
once the course Of their subordinates.
This action on the part OF the Presi-
dent most e6ectualiy dissipates the
twaddle, % freely circulated by those
reactionaries who are bitterly opposed
to the policy Of the administration,

"He polished up the handle so carefully
That now he is the ruler Of the queens navy"
The story told in these familiar lines
from "Pinafore' has been out-done by a
Hancock county boy, who is now the ruler
of the sultan of Turkeys navy. Rams
ford d. Bucknam, who has just been made
rear-admiral of the Turkish navy, with the
title Of pasha, is now supreme in command
in the Ottoman navy. Rear-Admiral Buck
nam was born in Bucksport, forty-two
years ago, and for a number of years sailed
between San Francisco and Oriental
ports; then he coasted on the Atlantic and
Great Lakes, and later became trial cap
tain for the war vessels built by the
Cramps. He commanded a vessel sent by
the Cramps to Turkey, and the sultan be-
came acquainted with him and offered him
billet in the Turkish navy, which he
accepted. Later he became naval adviser
to the sultan, and became a close friend
Two years ago Admiral Buchanan made the

made the entire feet celebrate the great

The assault on the Sturgis deputies
last week at Old Town was an outrage
upon law and order and decency
which ought not to go uurebuked.
The officers were there in the ger
fornance OF their duty, and, regard
less of public sentiment as to the wis
dom of the law, interference with its
enforcement was utterly unjustifiable.
1t has come to Z pretty pass in Maine

WOMAN TOO MUCH FOR
COLLECTION ATTORNEY
DEFlES HIM TO COLLECT HER
HUSBANDS SALARY
Writ of Execution Is Issued, but in-
quisitor Is Unable to Learn Any,
thing on Which He Can
Levy

On the stand in supplemental proceed
ings in Justice Summerfield's court pretty
Mrs. Luella Sandoval proved more than
a match for Attorney Dyer, profess
sional bill collector who attempted TO
gain from the witness some knowledge OF
personal property on which he could levy.
The Sandovals live at Watts, but Mr.
Sandoval Is employed at the general post
office in this city. His mother-in-law was
formerly in the grocery business at
Watts and failed in business in Novem-
ber, 1905
Among her liabilities was debt to
Steyes &. Diller, wholesale grocers, Whicn
the Young couple secured by promissory
note during the illness of Mrs. Sando-
val's mother.
"She is able and willing to pay that
note now, and you have no right to
bother us about it," said the witness.
.You are only an old sharp, anyhow
"I am tired of these impertnent re-
marks, and unless they cease snail ask
the court to take action" replied Dyer.
'Has your husband received his salary
this. month"; was his next question.
"No: and I defy you or any one else
to try to get 1t at the postoffice," was
the quick retort.
Her husband when called to the stand
corroborated his wife's testimony and
declared he had but three cents In cash
and that he was unable to discharge the
debt. which he declared was not just
one.
Without holding out any encourage
nent to the collection agency Justice
summerfleld issued an execution against
the couple.

SIX COMPANIES TO
SETTLE CHINESE WAR
REPRESENTATIVES, WILL COME
FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Should Decisions Be Considered Un-
just, Trouble In Chinatown May
Break Out Afresh, the
Police Fear

Representatives Of the Chinese Six Com
panies from San Francisco, accompanied
by the Chinese vice consul, will arrive in
Los Angeles tomorrow morning and try
to settle the differences between the war
ring tongsmen.
These men will come at the, request OF
the leaders of the tongs in this city and
it is the intention of the local Chinese
to place all their troubles before these
judges and abide by their decision.
According to the members of the police
squad which has been working in China
town since the recent trouble it is pos
sibe the arrival of the northern Chinese
will precipitate a new tong war instead
of settling the old troubles, as expected.
They say the members of the local
Chinese settlement are awaiting the ar
rival of the representatives of the Six
Companies with great deal of impa-
tience and that is the reason there have
been no attempts at murder during the
last week.
The men who are to come to Los An
geles are all powerful tongsmen, whose
words carry great weight with their fell
low Chinese. Despite this fact, should
they render any decision which will look
unjust to the Total men. 1t Is possible
the hatchets which have been laid aside
only temporarily will be taken up again
and put to use.

TAKES STRYCHNINE TO
OF ART COMMISSIONER
Tries to Appeal to Sympathy of Spouse
Who Has Gone to live with
Relatives, but 1t Doesn't
Work

Hoping to bring back his wife by ex-
citing her pity, Frank H. Binger of 1O71s
South Broadway took strychnine yester-
day morning with results which nearly
proved fatal.
Mrs. Binger deserted her husband sew
eral days ago. and Binger, becoming
Respondent and knowing no way of bring
ing her back. conceived an idea to appeal
to her sympathy.
The poison worked well. but the little
ruse prepared by Mr., Binger failed to
materialize. Mrs. Binger evidently failed
to appreciate the gravity of the case or is
inconsiderate of her husbands feelings.
Binger is 60 years of age and his wife
is somewhat younger. Mrs. Binger is re-
ported to be staying with relatives, al
though her address is not known to the
police.
Binger is a cook in downtown res
taurant. He earns good wages and is
able to support his wife in good style.
Why Mrs Binger left is still mys-
terry.

MULHoLLAND SAVES THOUSANDS
BY sLUIclNe
HAIWEE RESERVOIR WILL BE
COMPLETED
When Water Accumulates There It
VIII Be Piped to the Desert to
Be Used In Operations
There

Hampered only by lack of funds pre-
liminary work for the construction of the
Haiwee reservoir as part of the Los
Angeles aqueduct system is now under
way.
The Haiwee reservoir, situated seventy
nine miles north of Mojave and approx
imately fifty miles from the aqueduct IN
take. is next in size to the Long valley
reservoir, and will be one of the largest,
IL not the largest, artificial reservoirs IN
California,
Necessity of funds Is bringing some de-
lay on this project, as well as on other
parts of the aqueduct, but as soon as
money is received this part OF the WORK
will be rushed to completion.
The cost of construction is estimated
by the board of consulting engineers at
1916, ,SOO The hydraulic method, as is being
employed in the building Of the Silver
lake reservoir as part Of the city sys-
TEN, will be used.
Eighteen thousand feet of riveted steel
pipe have been purchased from the j. u.
Hooker company, and this pipe Is being
delivered as fast as it can be manufac-
tured.
Will Use Sierra Water
Haiwee and Hogback creeks, two
streams that flow eastward from the main
range of the Sierra Nevadas, are to be
used to furnish the necessary hydraulic
power and pick and shovel men are now
at work digging trenches.
The detailed topographic survey OF the
reservoir has been completed, the Dam
sites located and the specifications pre-
pared. The dam site lies at an elevation
of $3.50 feet, two-thirds Of mile above
of
natural one.
In all S59, ,41O cubic yards of earth are
to be moved, and Engineers Mulholland
and Lippincott assert that the work can
be completed within a year.
Two dams, both of earth, are to be
constructed. The south dam will be 1858
feet long, 91 feet high at the center, and
will have a width at the crest of 20 feet.
The north dam will be 1890 feet in length,
the height at the center will be 46 feet and
the width at the crest 20 feet.
The system to be used is simple one,
but which, nevertheless, has attracted the
attention of the foremost engineering So
cieties of the country.
MuIhoIland's Method
Mr.. Mulholland has been among the
first to employ the system and has DEM
onstrated beyond doubt that 1t is cheap
and feasible 1t is the same method that
is used in hydraulic mining The soil is
sluiced down, run through steel pipes and
delivered as a semi-liquid mass wherever
1t is desired.
Investigations of the soil in the vicinity
or the reservoir site show it to be of a
composition which is we'll adapted for the
purpose for which it will be used and that
ID can be handled easily and satisfactor'
lily. 1t is estimated that by this method
the cost of construction will be reduced
more than one-half.
Aqueduct engineers have a purpose ir
undertaking the construction of the Hal
