The General Boards Decision.


hoard was a combination of machinery by
which small reciprocating engines could be
used at slow speed. with turbines for high
speed. 1t was insisted that this arrange
merit would make for economy of opera
ton. 1t is understood that the general
board finally came TO the same conclusion
as the engineers, however
While The ship with reciprocating engines
costs about s1eaoeo more than the same
ship with turbines. it was figured that in
the American navy the vessels would be
required mostly to make long voyages,
where economy of cruising and the IA
ciIity 10 repair damage tc engines were i'm
nortant factors which could not he over
looked, and which, according to the view
N the engineer in chief, should govern.
The conclusions reached are something Of
:, surprise and are severely criticised by
some partisans. who insist that the in
stallation of the reciprocating engine on
new hattleships is a step backward. The
Navy Department reached its decision,
however, after taking into consideration
The most important aspects of the case,
and the strategists came 10 the conclusion
that the military necessities were fully
met by reciprocating engines
BY to-days award the Navy Department
has protected itself against the chance, of
which there have been rumors, that battle
ship No. 55 would he built at navy yard,
well No. 81.
The decision in favor Of reciprocating en-
gines does not necessarily settle the Ques-
tion for all time. as various propositions
are pending before the Navy Department
which make use of turbine equipment.
with due consideration for economy of
operation. One type is the turbine reduc-
ton gear. to be tested on one Of the col
1iers now under construction. and another
is the turbo-electric type designed by the
General Electric Company. in Schenectady.

machinery on battleship No. S5. but the

PROGRESS TN EDUCATION
Commissioner Brown Reviews
Last Year in United States.

Washington, Dec. "a comprehensive
review of the progress made in American
education in the last year is contained In
the first volume OF the annual report OF
DR.. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, Commissioner
of Education. made public to-day.
There are many activities closely related
to education which have received a large
measure OF attention in recent months ac-
cording to Commissioner Brown. Libraries
and museums. apprenticeship, public play
grounds home and school associations.
such interests these are sometimes
treated as just outside of the educational
inclosure. There is." he says, fan unmls-
taxable tendency to widen the inclosure
and to bring these things into some reia-
ton with the regular scholastic adminis-
tratiOn.
1.-THE extension of the area OF compul-
sorry school attendance has gone forward.
says Commissioner Brown. but the num-
ber Of young Americans who arc allowed
to grow up with only meagre schooling is
still distressingly large"
He declares that there should be an
agreement among the colleges with respect
to admission requirements which should
do away with minor differences that harass
the preparatory schools This. he argues.
would rid the educational situation Of some
OF its most serious embarrassments-
The work of the Bureau OF Education In
employing specialists to study certain edu-
cational subjects, DR.. Brown declares. has
been received with evident approval In all
parts of the country, and he asks for an
appropriation of $4,000 for carrying out
plan of employing these specialists.

NEARLY 10000 P0ST0FFICES
First Assistants Report on Con-
dition of Postal Service.

Washington. Dec. 2o.-Dr. Charles p.
Grandfeld, First Assistant Postmaster
General, in his annual report submitted to-
day TO Postmaster General Hitchcock
shows that the number of postofficeS ir
operation on June 80, 1870 was $3.50. The
gross revenue of the postal service in the
fiscal year amounted to s224. 12s, ,657, an in
crease of $50, SGT, ,2f7. The expenditures FOL
the year aggregated S229, ,977 22s, an increase
of sS,973,I I2I 81. The deficit was s5S4s, $50
compared with sl7.44l,19 for the preceding
year. Although the business of the posta
service increased more than 10 per cent
the expenditures decreased from an aver
age OF sos per cent for each of the preced.
ing ten years TO 4.06 per cent in 1910.
The number of postoffices established was
1.ty09 and the number discontinued 2,073. Al
Presidential offices 2,576 postmasters were
appointed and at fourth-class offices 9, 42t
were appointed.
The policy of the department to make nc
changes Of postmasters so long as their
services We're satisfactory was followed
uniformly throughout the country
An urgent recommendation is made that
the department be authorized properly to
adjust the salaries of assistant postmasters
Under the present system it frequently hap
pens that assistant postmaster receives
q smaller salary than some of the clerks
whose work he supervises.
II is also recommended that in the event
of the death of a postoffice clerk in the line
of duty provision be made for the payment
of a reasonable sum to his heirs, as is now
done in the event of the death of a railway
postal clerk in the line of duty. In the Of
flee at New York alone four employees have
been killed and siXty-four incapacitated
since 1905 as the result of injuries received
in the performance of their duty, yet it has
not been possible for the department to at
ford them or their families any assistance.
1t is the policy of the department not to
require any more work in postoffices on
Sundays and holidays than is absolutely
necessary. To this end an endeavor is be-
ing made to bring about greater degree OF
uniformity in the amount of Sunday work
and to provide for one day of rest in seven
for each employe

Mr.. Kahn declared that since the intro

DOGS STUBTAIL WINS SUIT
A Long Tailed Dog Bit Boy, So Court
Dismisses $500 Damage Case.

James Burke. of No. 43S East SD street,
plaintiff for his young son OF the same
name in the Fourth Municipal District
Court, lost his suit yesterday for $500
against Frederick Frank, OF No. AL East
SD street, because the son who was Bit
ten by dog alleged to belong to the de-
fendant failed to describe properly the tail
Of the alleged offending dog.
Frank owns fox terrier, and a neighbor
named Werner owns another dog of the
same breed. In fact the only difference in
appearance between the two animals is
that Franks dog has short tail and Wer-
ners terrier has long one. The plaintiff
was positive that the dog that bit Jimmy
had long tail. So Frank had his dog
brought into court. One glance was enough
to satisfy Justice Sturgis that 1t was
case Of mistaken identity, and he dismissed
the suit.

FIGHT AGAINST LORIMER
Bribery Charges May Come Up
on Senate Floor.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 2a.-The charges of cor
rup;ion in connection with the election of
Senator Dorirner, Of illinois. to succeed
Senator Hopkins will be aired on the floor
Of the Senate, unless certain Senators who
Gre not disposed to accept what they term
q "wilitenssh'' report by the Committee on
1xavileges and Elections. change their
MINDS between now and the time the re-
port is submitted.
The full committee had meeting to-
DAY and after some deliberation decided to
adopt. with some minor changes in
phraseology. the report OF the sub-com-
nlittee generating the Illinois Senator
There was no direct objection 20 the find
ing of the subcommittee that there was
evidence that Senator Lorin1er had been
involved in the purchase of votes. but there
was objection TO some of the conclusions
OF the report and its scope. For this rea-
son Senator Frazier submitted a state
ment, instead Of a minority report regard
ing the conclusion to be drawn from the
testimony This statement was the OBJ
stacIe in the way of report 20 the Sen
ate to-day In the mean time several men,
hers of the committee and one or two Sen
atore not on the committee are disposed 10
look into the evidence themselves, and it
is probable that some of the insurgents will
bring up the question on the floor
Senator Frazier's statement is said Ia
declare that seven votes should not be
counted for Lorimer Several other Sem
sfors are said TO share this view, but there
is a difference OF opinion to whether
their elimination would have affected his
election.
a statement filed by Senator Hepburn is
said to be an argument against eiimnat-
ing votes OF members 81 the Legislature
who confessed TO receiving bribes. the
ground that the statements Of self-con-
fessed perjurers should not be permitted TO
overthrow the election.

light will be let in on the situation after
the holiday recess. Senator Lorlmer Is
Himself a daily attendant on the sessions
Of the Senate, and his course In this respecs
is being made the subject Of criticism, even
by some who are disposed to be friendly to
the Illinois Senator 1t is urged that IN
view Of the fact that his election Is under
investigation, Mr.. Lorimer should. however
confident he may be Of his own innocence,
refrain from taking part In the affairs OF
the Senate until his eschtcheon Is finally
cleared and his title to a seat duly estab-
lisbed Moreover some Senators resent the
presence of a Senator on whose case they
may be called to vote in the near future,
saying that should they regard 1t as their
duty to vote against the Senator from ILL
nOis, their course would be the more embar-
raising because Of his daily presence In the
Senate and that association which is thus
rendered unavoidable.
THE PEACE FOUNDATION.-The prob
lem of determining how best to utilize the
income from the Sf0,000.0 900 with which An
drew Carnegie endowed his peace founda-
ticn is occupying the serious attention OF
the trustees. but the mere it is considered
the more complex becomes the problem.
One proposition which is receiving serious
consideration. however, is that OF codlfy-
ing all the International law available, and
it seems probable that this will be one OF
the first works undertaken. 1T Is possible
that ultimately a portion of the income VIII
be devoted to the maintenance OF sort OF
library of international law, and some con-
sideration will be given to the proposition
Of Offering prizes for the best digests of the
laws which are now regarded as coming
within that definition. The contributions
which Mr.. Carnegie has been in the habit
of making to various peace societies will
be continued. at least until some definite
programme has been mapped out by the
trustees Of the peace foundation.

NOT TO HAVE TURBINES
Navy Department, After Careful
Consideration, Decides to Re-
turn to Reciprocating Engines.

washington Dec 3-one of the most
animated controversies in the Navy De-
partment fer many years was ended to-
Gag, when the contract for battleship NO.

Newport News Shipbuiding Company 1T
was intended that this action should be de-
layed until il had been ascertained whetheF
Congress could be induced to increase the
limit of cost above ss.oo,0o0, in order that
there might he a greater margin out OF
which to defray certain incidental expenses
connected with the construction OF the
ship. The contract price will be S5.SS0.0oo,
which was the bid for the ship with re-
ciprocating engines.
II will be difficult to make many changes
in the specifications with the remainder OF
the sum available. and probably some diff

Department can determine exactly what, In

the new hattieship shall have reciprocating
engines is of moro than ordinary interest,

session of Congress, will have the same
type of propeling machinery For some
time the type of engines has been under
discussion. Some naval officers have in
sisted that the turbine should be installed
The Bureau of Steam Engineering, how
ever, recommended return TO The recip-
rocating engine, and this view was sup
ported by the chief constructor. The ques-
tion was submitted TO the general board,
where the preference was for the turbine.
