bv firing these actually cut the vessel completely in two.
 The broken bows were left upon the rocks. but all the afterpart of the ship, containing the valuable engines was fioated safely off. The saved portion was then lowed to the Tyne, where Messrs swan & Hunter, the original builders. constructed a new forepart, ana, splicing this on the stern section, made it as good as new.
 Many A vessel, in fact, which once lay an apparently hopeless wreck upon an iron-bound coast is today carrying great cargoes across the ocean at many knots an hour The Philadelphia, for instance, which once, as the steamship Paris, held the speed record of the Atlantic, is case in point All will remember how one dark night 1t ran upon the Manacles and lay there in an apparently hopeless position, with great rocks piercing its steel bottom.
 German firm undertook the task of salying it on the ''no-cure-no-pay' prin- ciple If fioated they were, it is believed, to have half the value of the vessel. It was d most successful gamble for the salving firm, but great credit must be given to them for the skill which they displayed.
 A Remarkable Feat.
 What is said to have been the most Won- derful feat of salvage engineering of It's kind was the raising of the emigrant ship Utopia in the bay of Gibraltar It ran onto the ram of the British cruiser An son and sank in fifty-seyen feet of water. The depth was great and the currents strong; yet divers succeeded in erecting upon it huge rotterdam. which raised its sides above water. It's hull was then patched. the water pumped out. and it was hoated
 Curious devices are sometimes resorted to in the attempt to save something from a wreck. Quite recently off the German coast a steamer that was hopelessly fast on the rocks was judiciously blown up by dynamite in order to facilitate the salvage of separate portions of It's engines and cargo.
 Another steamer, whose stern had been damaged, was tipped up by putting

 Again, a steamer on shore was being frightened of its cargo in order to be lowed off when bad weather interrupted the salvage operations Then It was found necessary to deliberately hood the half empty holds with water so as 10 keep it upright on the shore till the weather moderated, and 1t was possible to pump the water out again and tow 1t n

School Board.
INDIVIDUALS TO Benefit
IT rs EXPLAINED THAT A SHARE
OF THE ISSUE WILL BE PoPU.
LAR-PREMlUM QUESTION NOT
SETTLED.

Superintendent r. A. Mott Of the
city schools, following a discussion at
council last evening as to the probable
disposal of bonds to be issued for the
construction of the new high school
building, Ninth and North c streets,
stated that the school board desired
to sell as many OF the bonds, If not all
OF them. to either private individuals
or banking institutions OF the city.
Council seemed very much pleased
that this course would be followed.
For Popular Issue.
Mr.. Mott, speaking unauthoritative-
~ for the board stated that a part of
the bonds would be apportioned to
the highest bidder. Another portion
will be for popular issue, according to
his understanding. He could not
state the share Of the $175,00O bond
issue which the board would decide to
dispose of at first, or the premium
they expected to receive for them. He
is not certain how long the bonds will
run.
City controller Webster Parry said
that in conversation with two mem
bers of the board they stated that they
expected to receive premium. He al

regarding the sale of bonds to local

The man was convicted before and
sentenced by James Wickersham, then
federal judge in Alaska. who is now
congressional delegate from that terri

Attorney General Wickersham made
the same recommendation.
Mrs. Taft Urges ciemency.

TWO WOMEN TELL
PECULIAR STORY
Forced to Remain in Speeding
Machine at Point of a
Revolver.
VICTIMS OF AN ACCIDENT
GIRLS ARE SERIOUSLY HURT AND
TWO MEN ARE DANGEROUSLY
HURT-PoLIcE ARE MAKING AN
INVESTIGATION.

New York, June S-Two girls. who
charge that they were held prisoners
at the point of a revolver in an auto
mobile going fifty miles an hour by
joy-riding chauffeur and his compan-
ion, were seriously injured and the
two men were badly hurt today when
the machine dashed into the rear Of
furniture van just north OF Debbs's
Ferry, N. Y.
The two girls were Florence Jacobs
and Belle Daily. Both are seventeen
years old. The chauffeur 10 Daniel
Cush, employed by Albert McLave Of
the banking firm of Waterman & Co..
whose automobile he was driving. The
other man in the car was Daniel Dem
son.
The automobile was seen going
through Dobbs's Ferry at terrific
speed. 1t passed out of the village
along Broadway and about half way
between Dobbss Ferry and Hastings
on the Hudson. without warning, the
machine struck the rear of the furni-
ture van, heavily loaded.
Found Unconscious.
The two girls and the chauffeur were
found unconscious In the road and
benson was found beneath the furni-
ture van, dazed, but still able to MUIR
muir his name and that of the chauf-
teur. All were removed to the
Dobbs Ferry hospital.
When the two girls recovered con-
seriousness they preferred charges
against Cush and benson. benson
was found to be the least injured and
he was sent to the Jail at Hastings.
Cush remained at the hospital. He
may die.
Miss Jacobs told the authorities that
she and her friend, Miss Daily, had OBJ
jected to the speed OF the machine.
but were forcibly quoted by benson
who, the girls declare, drew a revolver
and threatened to shoot them II they
made any further outcry. The girls
crouched down in the seats of the tom
neau in abject fright. The auto sped
on, Cush putting on more speed at
each mile When the crash came the
girls say that the machine was going
fifty miles an hour.

ordinance to this effect, coming up on
third reading, was passed by a vote OF
Z to 3, Won Pein not voting, being alb
sent from the meeting.
Crawling Objectionable.
An effort is being made by Council
man Englebert for more matchmaking
OF streets. He believes that they
should be improved by such method
instead Of being continually graveled.
AS an example OF how poorly it pays to
gravel a street, he referred to North
Twelfth street, north of the railroad.
This street is graveled at least once 4
year, when it might be permanently
improved by matchmaking.
In order to compel bicyclists, auto
mobilists, motorcyclists and drivers to
keep to the right OF the street, espec-
tally in the business districts, 1t is
probable that an ordinance will be
drafted or the present ordinance
amended so as to be effective. The
ordinance committee will report on
the question at the next meeting.

ITS NEXT SESSION.

Again council, representing the re-
publican organization of the city, and
Mayor Schillinger representing the
Democratic party, have locked horns
over the appropriation Of city's money
to a private corporation. An ordinance
to appropriate 500 to the Richmond
Art Association, which exhibit opens
this evening at the Garfield building,
was presented by Councilman Deuker.
at council last evening. BY suspen-
sion of the rules the ordinance was
passed last evening and would have
been effective at once had Mayor
Schillnger signed it.
Same Old Question.
This same question has come up
several times during the present ad.
ministration, both in connection with
the appropriation for Reid Memorial
hospital and for the Art Association.
Each time. on the advice of City At
torney T. J. Study. mayor Schillinger
has refused to sign the appropriations.
claiming that the city has no right to
give its money to organizations, incor-
porated under the laws OF the state as
private enterprises, although public in
their nature.
Mayor Schillinger stated last even
ing that this course had always been
followed by him and he would do
likewise this year. He has ten days
in which to act on the ordinance.
The action Of the democratic ad-
ministration will probably not affect
councils stand in the least, as 1t can
be safely predicted that council will
unanimously pass the ordinance over
the mayors veto on Monday evening.

has followed such a public-spirited
course.

Christmas Suggestions

A dozen perfect scallop shells, to be used in serving creamed or scalloped fish, would be an acceptable gift for a housewife.
 Milkweed pods, gathered early and their duffy seeds tied together at the ends while still green, will be the prettiest dec oration that could be imagined for q Christmas tree, As soon as they are dry they become fluffy white balls hanging on the string. If desired they may be dyed while still green.
 Get some tiny cordial glasses and fill them with jelly for a friend who is fond of entertaining and who will be greatly pleased with the little individual molds of jelly. To make the gift more elaborate fill the glasses little at a time using jellies of different colors, and thus get ting a striped effect.
 A scrap book of witty stories clipped from any available source will be a good gift for an invalid or, in fact, for a strong, vigorous man. Clippings pertain ing to some special subject could be col lected for the riders of some particular hobby.
 For the possessor of large library. who Is in the habit of lending his books a suitable gift would be a record for keeping track of the loaned volumes. A number of covers of plain washable linen. or heavy paper, to slip over the books as
