SECRET INQUIRY WAS
MADE ON BOILERS
Retubing Of the RattIeship West vir-

of the Navy Board.

Washington. ID. c.. August IT,
There has been quiet investigation
in progress at the Mare Island navy
yard for the last week over the man
ner in which the boilers OF the ar
mored cruiser West Virginia We're re-
Gently retubed The West Virginia is
now on her way TO Seattle, ready TO
proceed to the Philippines with the
other armored cruisers of the Pa
cific feet from which it is assumed
at the navy department that the
trouble was not as serious as expected
but il is known that there was a
court OF inquiry ordered az the Mare
Island yard by the commandant.
There are two versions to the az
fair at the navy Department. One is
that there we're no regulation tubes
handy at the Mare Island yard and
that the mechanics substituted water
piping tubes instead, believing evil
IDENTIFY that thesa tubes would do as
well as the regulation ones. Then one
of the experts OF the bureau of steam
engineering discovered the mistake
and promptly informed the officers in
charge of the yard that there would
be grave consequences il the improve
ed tubes were allowed to remain, that
1t was imperative to Fave the work
properly done.
Rear Admiral Potter, chef of the
bureau of navigation, said that the
court OF inquiry had discontinued its
investigation and that no one had been
found to blame for the mistake.
The official version is that the tubes
first installed were believed to be in
ferior in quality to the latest stand
ard used. which accounted for the de
layed substitution.

BIG PLANER
Baltimore G. Ohio Railroad Increases
Facilities For Getting Out
Work.

From The World Of Tuesday:
One of the most notable additions
recently made to the equipment of the
Baltimore & Ohio shops in this city
was the Installation today Of huge
planer, which will be used chiefly on
frog and switch work. The big planer
weighs several tons, and cost $4,000.
Superintendent Rrantner now has a
force of nearly 100 mem at work at
the shops, and ii is expected that a
number of additional men will be add
ed from time to time, as the work in

right along. This is one OF the shops
along the Baltimore & Ohio that was
not affected by the strike Of he ma
chinists, and it speaks well for the

TEACHERS HAVE
ANOTHER CHANCE
The Final Examination for the Pres
ent Year Win be Held Next
Month.

The third and last teachers ex-
animation for the year viii be held
September 9 and 10. The atten-
ton of those expecting TO take This
examination is called to the new law
permitting applicants to take again
subjects ii which they have made
low grades in previous examinations
within the year.
Applicants having taken one ex-
animation may enter second or
third examination in the same year
and take again just those branches
in which they made their lowest
grades without being required to
pass again on the entire list of sub
jects. If they choose however, APP
plicants may take all OF the subjects
in each of the two or more examina-
tons in the same year and receive
credit for their highest grade in
each; but no credit is given for
grades made in previous year.
Persons holding elementary GER
tificates issued prior to the present
year cannot secure the graded school
certificates by passing ON general his
tory and bookkeeping only.
Renewal of Certificates.
Persons having passed successful
ly an examination in agriculture for
the renewal of the first grade certifi-
cate should make application for re-
newal through the superintendent of
the county in which the certificate
was originally issued, using the
blank provided by this department
for that purpose. This is necessary
! in order that each superintendent
may keep a record of the renewal OF
all first grade certificates issued
) through his county. When the ex-
animation in agriculture is taken in
another county the renewal fee
should be paid TO the superintendent
under whom the the examination is
| taken He should then certify the
payment of the fee 10 the superin.
! tendent of the county through whom
application for renewal is made.
Duplicate Certificate Abolished.
The regular uniform certificates
are no longer issued in duplicate
! The reason for this, as has hereto
fore been explained to boards of ed
ucation, is, that great deal of con
| fusion has grown out of the use oi
the duplicate and in some cases its
use has resulted in irregularity an6
fraud. Furthermore the Importance
of the duplicate is not sufficient te
