Kiel. Germany, Jan. ls.-The German
submarine U3 sank in the harbor yes
terday. but was raised after three hours
work, and the crew of 25 men rescued

The sinking was due to accidental
filling of the water bunkers. Soon after
il disappeared, the salvage ship Vulcan,
which Is equipped with modern machin-
cry for the raising of submerged vessels,
was on the spot and gave the first sue
cessful demonstration of what she could
do in the emergency for which she had
been planned
First, communication with the sub
marine was established by a buoy tele-
phone, over which the commander of the
U3 reported that the vessel had as

crew was in no immediate danger
Divers were then sent down, and they

Civic pride no doubt has a deep

The State Normal School.

Considerable opposition to the bill TO
establish state normal school has de-
veloped in the legislature. The bill is
to be taken up to-day in the House as
special order, and a hard parliament
tary fight is predicted. The opposition
is not against the idea of establishing
state normal school, but against es-
tabhshing it as proposed in the pending
measure. There are features in the bill
that have ELECTED much criticism, one
Of them being the proposition which
leaves the location of the new school
to be determined by sort of auction,
giving preference to localities from
which there can be derived a bonus of
$4,000.
The main fight, however, will not be
upon this issue, although there is no
doubt that this proposition will be OPP
posed with vigor. Where the opposi-
ton to the bill, as an entirety, will
make itself most manifest viii be in
connection with the fate of the exist
ing normal schools at Csstleton and at
johnson, should the bill become law.
Friends of the school at Castelton app
pear to have fortified themselves with
StIONN arguments viii WHitU To 1lEhl
the bill Some of them express the
opinion that, in view Of the accessible
location Of that institution, the value
and adaptahility of its property and
the advanced character of the work that
already it is doing it eifors better solu-
tion OF the problem of state normal
school education than is afforded by the
pending BILL
There has been expressed among menu
beers of the legislature, in private dis
cussion Of the measure, the opinion that
the contemplated expenditures for the
establishing of a new state normal
school could be more wisely applied TO
the acquisition of the school at Castle
ton. or even Of both that school and the
one at Johnson, making them state in
stitutions. and raising them to the high
est standard Of schools designed for the
training Of teachers.-Rutland Herald.

A DELICATE QUESTION.
Regarding Rights of Command In Ger,
tain Cases.

Washington d. c., Jan. lS.--Congress
is now asked to settle a problem which
army and navy officers consider likely
to develop into serious matter. The
military men want Congress to decide
what service, in case of joint opera
tion of soldiers and sailors, shall have
the right to command. For example, ii
a combined attack were being made upon
foreign shore, with battleships tax
ing part, and marines included also,
there is no provision in the United
States statutes as to who would be in
command Of such an operation.
The general board. composed of both
army and navy officers, suggests to Con-
gress simple means OF settling the
point They would have this rule enact
ed: Let the army command every man
on land, whether soldier or sailor, and
let the navy give orders to everyone
when ahoat.
Thus soldiers on a transport, or being
landed on the shore, would be under
command Of The ranking naval officer
present. As soon as the sailors, II any
were included in the landing party, left
the beach, they would be under COM
mand OF the ranking army officer. IL
is also proposed to have the marine
corps subject to the orders Of the service
TO which it is detailed in any specific
instance. if il were detailed to assist
the army, ii would be component
part Of the army, and subject to its or
ders. II its commanding officer were
outranked by the army officers present,
the latter would command; on the other
hand the marine corps officers would
command the force of soldiers and mar
ines if he were the highest in grade.
The military authorities have the sup
port Of the president in asking for leg
islation TO cover these points, and are
earnestly hoping that the bill win pass
Other measures, to further adjust the
relations Of army, navy, and marine
corps, are under consideration.

BOUGHT SUGAR OF LEAD.
Mrs. schenk Also Tried to Get Arsenic,
Doctor Testifes

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. ls.-The most
important feature OF yesterdays session
Of the trial of Mrs, Laura Schenk,
charged with attempting to poison her
husband, John o. Schenk, was the testi-
mony of J. w Myers, a prominent ply
stefan, that the defendant had bought
sugar of lead from him and tried to
get some Fowlers solution of arsenic.
Dr. Myers said that when he refused
to give her the arsenic she told him
that she had bought some from another
physician.
Luudy Wilson, the chauffeur employed
by Mrs. Schenk, testified to rides which
he said she took with young Phillips,
the piano salesman. He said that Mrs.
Sehenk told him that her relations with
Phillips were improper.
DR. Edward Burns, one of Schenk's
physicians, said in reply 90 hypothet-
zeal question. based on Schenk's symp-
toms, that the man was suffering from
lead poisoning prior to October q, and
that arsenicai poisoning developed after
that.

GAUNT SPECTRE OF
THE TARIFF THERE
But the Issue Was Finally Met By All
Speakers at Baltimore Jackson
Day Gathering.

Baltimore, Jan. ls.The gaunt spectre
Of the tariff with all The yicissitudes
it brings from without and within the
political party, stalked boldly through
the jackson day gathering Of the Demo
Gratis in this city yesterday. 1t made
its presence felt at the mass meeting
at the Lyric in the afternoon and it
would not down at the bountiful feast
which was spread at the Fifth Regiment
armory last night.
But the issue was fairly met by all
the speakers Some frankly acknowl-
edged that there would be differences of
opinion among the Democrats on the
subject, as there had been among the
Republicans. Senator Bailey, for in
stance, while declaring that harmony
of action must be the wstchword of the
Democracy if 1t is to maintain the adj
vantage won at the last election, took
direct issue with those Democrats who
favor piecemeal revision Of the tariff.
Champ Clark, speaker to-be of the
House Of Representatives, had just an
nounced that the sentiment among the
Democrats in the House seemed to favor
piecemeal revision-schedule by SEIZED
ule If possible, but item by item if
necessary.
"And the most obnoxious items first, +"
exclaimed Mr.. Clark.
"As between rotten apples" insisted
Senator Bailey. There is no choice,
Every schedule in the Payne. Aldrich
law is bad"
Governor Harmon of Ohio, one of
the most prominent figures in the days
gathering, also bounced upon the tariff,
as did practically everyone Of the long
list Of speakers at the mass meeting
and banquet.
The day passed as the Democratic
leaders wished it might, without an ~.
tempt from any quarter to launc
boom for the presidential nomination il
1912. Senator Bailey, while locking
horns with Champ Clark on the method
of revising the tariff, paid the Demo-
cratic leader Of the House the tribute
of placing him in the presidential class.
IF Champ Clark makes better
speaker than Mr.. Harmon makes a gov
ernor, we win nominate him for presi-
dent he declared amid enthusiasm, at
the Lyric meeting. But" he added.
eff Governor Harmon makes better
government than Champ Clark makes a
speaker, then we are going to nominate
Mr.. Harmon"
