MISS GRACE c. sTRAcHAN.

The name Of Miss Strachan has long been
before the public She has been the leader
among the teachers iu the public school
system az New York City in their fight
Gor equal pay for equal work Apparent
ly their cause has been won At last. for
following their leader their work at Al
bany in the closing hours Of the adjourned
session Of the legislature brought about
the massage the other day Of a bin which
gave the Board OF Education power to fix
salaries Of teachers. with the limitation
that there shall oe no discrimination based
on sex. and that the salaries Of none OF
the male teachers shall be reduced. The
measure is similar TO a provision in the
proposed New York charter which fell ny
the wavside in the Senate. Governor Dix
was persuaded 90 send in emergency mes
sages. and the bills passage was obtained
~ an ample majority at a time in the ses-
sion when any less persistent a fighter
would have considered 1t impossible. Miss
strachan. of Scotch-Irish ancestry, is a
woman Of great energy and industry. A
district sllperinterdent in the New York
public school system. she undertook several
wears ago the leadership Of the fight for
equal pay for equal work. Her indom-
table energy is indicated by the fact that
when her father. with rine children 10 care
for. failed in business in Buffalo. she
gained admission 10 the Buffalo normal
school az such an early age that she was
graduated when only sixteen.

WILSON'S POSITION
ASSAILBD BY SMITH
Candidate for Senate Replies
10 Jersey Governor.

Newark. n. j., JAM 6.-James Smith.
jr., issued a statement in reply to Gov.
Wilson tonight. He said. in part:
"Dr. Wilson's latest effort in the United
States Senatorial controversy is rather
disappointing. 1t was mild. gentle dis
course on abstract propositions. The
burning questions of the hour which his
agencies assured Us he would discuss
were studiously omitted.
In his long talk there is but one
point which calls for reply. His charge
of an alliance with special interests l
have already denied.
He is going about his latest pastime
with deliberation. He may look over the
country and not find parallel to his
case. In Massachusetts a Democratic
executive is opposing a Republican; but
his course is free from the Wilson
method. In New York an example is given
of how calm judgment, dignified bearing,
and a proper conception of duty may
earn public esteem. In Ohio, in a heated
al executive upon whom the eyes of the
nation are fixed puts aside biased clamor.
He recognizes that his duty is executive.
not legislative.
I'm the annals of political history there
is no such example Of insincerlty as is
here presented. 1t is an isolated case or
ar abnormal conscience engaged in ITS
insidious work of leading legislators away
from duty which the Constitution i'm
poses upon them"

Sandy Hook. Jan 6.-Tere was a great
rally Of high-rankins officers at Sandy
Hook proving ground to-day. They were
accompanied by colonels. captains, lieu
tenants. and fifteen officers. students of
the engineering schools. and Washington
Barracks.
They came to witness the firings from
a fourtei-inch coast defense rifle against
target of concrete. REINFORCED by iron
rods and pieces of broken armor plate.
erected some months ago by the engi-
neerS.
Five rounds, each weighing 1850 pounds.
loaded with a charge of standard army
explosive. were fired against the target
by a powder charge graduated as TO
represent a regular service charge. The
target, about 2CO yards away from the
gun. felt the force of the shell. which
exploded when about fifteen feet within
the target. The result. however. is not
given out.
Among the officers present were Gen.
Leonard Wood. chief of staff: Gen. Will

Prof. Alger. naval expert on explosives
and ordnance, was also present. The
commanding officer of the Department Of
the East, Gen. Fred 3. Grant, was In
vited, but was prevented from attending
the test The conclusion from the firing
was felt at a great distance. and made
windows and dishes rattle on the reser-
walton. At p. m. the visitors left. The
test had apparently been satisfactory to
the ordnance officers. at least.

DELAWARE SENATORS HOPE
TO END DOVER DEADLOCK

| Dover, Del, Jan. 6-For the twelftf
time in fifteen years the Delaware leSis-
| lature is tied up on the election Of a
Federal Senator. United States Senators
Du Pont and Richardson. Delaware s
| representatives. had a conference early
to-day in Washington over the question
of delay necessitated by the present as
sernbly deadlock.
Senator Richardson. who came here
this afternoon for his weekend stay,
|averred his belief that the present dead
lock had delayed the election of a Sen
ator.
They cannot now regularly elect a
Senator until January "A, and il they do
not organize next Tuesday. not until the
3lst.'' said the Senator. Under the Fed
eral provisions he said. the practice was
not to recognize a temporary organiza-
ton. but to require that the election of
Senator should be two weeks after
permanent organization and notification
thereof to the governor.
The senate took two ballots this after
noon on its presidency. with no change
in the voting and nobody near the COW
eted nine votes. Two representatives.
Tebo and Evans, both Kent Republicans.
and one senator. Hazel, Republican, of
Dover. will keep the session alive by
holding a perfunctory session Tomorrow
and taking the usual vote
