Warship Would.

LEWES. Del, August 26.-Costing a
half million dollars. the first floating
fish factory ever to be seen in this Sec
tion arrived at Lewes yesterday, and is
exciting more curiosity than a warship.
The floating factory has all the latest
Improvements for handling scrap and
manufacturing oil. and it is said that in
forty minutes after a load of fish is un-
loaded on 1t the cargo is converted into
scrap and oil. The factory runs under
its own steam and has four auxiliary

ESTIMATES MADE UP
FiuureS of the Board of Edu-

WILL MEET SEPTEMBER s
important Matters to Be Decided,
Including Selection of Success
sor to DR.. Myers.
WILL MEET SEPTEMBER 6

With several important matters requr-
ing immediate decisions. the first fall
meeting of the board of education. it was
announced today. will be held Wednes-
day. September 6.
At present more than half of the school
board members are out of the city It
is expected. however. that quorum
can be had by September /. and this is
responsible for the decision to hold the
first fall meeting of the board Septem-
ber g.
The annual estimates of the board have
been completed. and it is expected that
they will be transmitted to the District
Commissioners before the middle Of next
month.
New Normal School.
The latest and what probably will
amount to the last phase of the contro-
versy over the mix-up in the Normal
School plans developed today. when Pres
ident James F. Oyster of the board of
education received communication from
Capt. Mark Brooke. assistant engineer
commissioner stating that work on the
building under the rearranged plan will
be begun if the plan has the approval of
the board.
School officials had about given up hope
of being consulted in the matter, but had
decided to make no objection, giving as
the reason their desire to see the build
ing erected without further delay.
President Oyster today said that he
felt confident the board will indorse the
plan to have the building face on Har-
ward instead of 18th street.. The rear
rangement, he said,. would produce but
few changes in the original plan.
Successor to DR.. Myers.
One of the problems that the board will
ing will be the selection of a principal
School, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of DR.. George E. Myers
School Supt. Davidson this morning
stated that a successor to DR.. Myers has
not yet been decided upon and none will
be chosen until the board meeting.
The local field is being thoroughly can
vassed with a view to determining
whether the vacancy can be filled by
promotion.
Occupation of Phelps Building.
Another matter on which the board will
try to reach a decision before the open
ing of school, September Is. will be
whether the Phelps building, located on
Vermont avenue. shall be made colored
institution and used for the business de-
partment of the Armstrong Manual
Training School
Whether the Phelps School will be
designated as a colored institution will
depend upon the time of completion of
the new building at Sth and streets
northwest. The plan Is to give the pres
ent occupants of the Phelps School per-
manent qurters in the Sth and street
structure.
DIR. Davidson and Municipal Architect
Ashford are of the opinion that the new
building will be completed by the time
Of the opening of school or shortly after
If this is the case, there is believed to be
but little doubt that the board will de-
eide to use the Phelps building for the
business department Of the Armstrong
School.

Extensive Inquiry Proposed.

The democrats now propose to conduct
extensive Investigations into the same
schedules the tariff board Is at work upon
and do everything within their power to
discredit the reliability OF the very figures
upon which the President is willing to
conduct revision next winter. 1t was
said today that the democrats will have
q mass Of information ready by the time
President Taft presents the work Of the
tariff board and makes his recommenda-
tions. They intend to hold hearings and
call members OF the tarif board before
them, at the same time calling in tariff
experts from all parts of the country.
They are confident that they will be able
to .shoot full of holes the whole fabric
Of the tariff board and make its figures
the laughing stock of the country. In
doing this they assert they will be able
to put President Taft in a serious hole
in the big tariff revision fight of the
presidential campaign.
The ways and means committee holds
that the information 1t has accumulated
for. years is far more accurate than the
tariff board can ever get together and
that when the public understands this
it will no longer place confidence in the
reliance of the President upon the tariff
board.

WILL AGAIN TRY TO PUT
PRESIDENT IN A HOLE
Democrats in Congress Plan
ming to Riddle Figures of
the Tariff Board.

The accuracy and credibility of the
figures of the tariff board upon the
wool. cotton. steel, iron and chemical
schedules of the existing tariff law,
upon which President Taft staked SO
much in his vetoes of recent tariff bills,
is to be attacked by the democrats and
probably the insurgents at the coming
winter session Of Congress.
The President based his vetoes of the
tariff bills almost wholly upon the
basis that Congress did not possess ac-
curate Information to guide it in fixing
the tariff on the various schedules re-
vised by it: that detailed and trust
worthy information upon the important
schedules named would be furnished to
him by the tariff board next winter.
and that upon these data he would
found his recommendations to Congress
for tariff revision. His claim was that
the tariff board figures will show
clearly the difference in cost between
abroad and in this country,
and that he will ask Congress to fix
the tariff at such figure that the
American manufacturer and workman
will get just enough protection to keep
them from the sforeign class and foot
ing.
the Presidents veto messages through
out expressed confidence in the accu-
racy Of the data of the tariff board and
discredited the work OF Congress In
the preparation of bills.

mansion Mr.. Ellers noticed q rectangular
section Of white clay three feet long and
two feet wide near the center of the wall
which divides the house proper from the
kitchen. Its shape. appearance and con-
trast to the surrounding soil stirred his
curiosity and he decided to dig 1t out.
A foot below the surface Mr.. Ellers un-
covered the body remnants. In one
place there were faint traces OF decom-
posed hair The size Of the bones and
the pieces of silk indicate that the body
was that of a woman or girl. 1t Is be-
