BOARD, BY PARTY VOTE TURNS DOWN
 ITS OWN ACTION
Refuses to Accept Minutes De- claring John F. Brady Member of Committee on Schools

On a strictly party vote at the reg ular meeting of the Board of Educa- tion last evening. the Democratic mem- bers voted to accept the minutes oi the last meeting, while the Republican members approved excepting that part relating to the election of Commission CT John F. Brady as a member of the committee on schools to succeed Judge of Probate Edward F. Hallen, who resigned as a member of the board at members declared that there was no election to the committee at the last meeting.
 Commissioner A. M. Wooster, Repub- lican, made the motion that the min utes be not accepted. Evidently, the other members of his party had made a pre-arrangement to balk the proceed ings. for when vote was taken, the five Republican members, President William H. Marigold, being absent. Commissioners Wooster, Haven, Mac donald, Bell and Challenger, voted for the non-acceptance of the readings. The Democratic members present, Com missioners Brady, Lieberum, CuIlinan and Monahan, opposed the motion. Commissioner Richard D. Murphy was away in New York on business while Commissioner Alfred E. Veness. who sat last evening for the first time, de- clined to vote. stating that while he had a legal right to cast his ballot he did not feel that he had the moral right.
 Commissioner Brady, who was de- clared elected to the committee at the last meeting of the Board wanted to know why he had been singled out by the Republican members, and why the members of that faith elected to of- of he had oyo the validity of their election ques- toned. He objected strongly to the motion, claiming that 1t was an in- justice to him and a discourtesy, such as would not be extended any member of the opposite party by his associ- ates.
 Commissioner Macdonald said he had voted in objection to the minutes, be- cause he did not believe the precedent should be established that officers should be elected in the way they were.
 Commissioner Monahan declared it i'll became the Republicans to raise the question of politics because of the fact that in the past several years they had held all the important offices, while the Democrats had to be content with two minor offices.
 Commissioner Cullinan, after an- nouncing that he was not a candi- QaC0 TOT appointment tO the committee and had not been. amended the motion by making 1t read to accept the min utes. The amendment being put, was defeated 5-4 as noted. The original motion was then put and carried by the same vote.
 Commissioner Brady then made a motion that the board ballot to fill the vacancy, Commissioner Wooster seconding the motion. Commissioner Bell offered an amendment that the matter go over until the next meeting, but the amendment was lost. On the first ballot taken, MT. Brady received votes, Cullinan 4 and blank 1. A sec- ond ballot being necessary. seven votes being necessary for choice, MT. Brady received votes, MT. >Veness 3, and blank 2. Commissioner Bell then moved that the matter be deferred until the next meeting. the other commissioners this time agreeing.

JAPAN COALING STATION ON WEST
 COAST OF MEXICO
London Standard StOry,' Coupled With Other Information, Causes Big Sensation in Washington
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, March 14-A big sensa- tion was caused here, today, by the London Standard story that Japanese activity in Mexico is the real cause of the great army and navy "maneu- vers," coming simultaneously with an unexpected official confirmation of Japan's effort to establish a coaling station at Manzanillo on the west coast of Mexico. The admission was made through the Bureau of Ministers, branch of the government which was overlooked when the ban of se- crecy was placed on international af- fairs week ago.
 In formal report, Vice Consul R. M. Stadden, at Manzanillo, is quoted, today, as follows:
 Negotiations are in progress be- tween the Toyo Risen Kaisha, the Japanese trans-Pacific steamship line, and the National Railways of Mexico looking to the establishment of a coal ing station at Gampos, about 2 1-2 the National Railways. The ships, ac- cording to Risen Kaisha, touch at Manzanillo on the run from Yokohoma to Valparaiso. Chile. and return.
 eff the coaling station be establish ed, these ships will coal homeward bound al Manzanillo and an effort will be made to sell coal also to the Ma viera line of steamers which ply in the Mexican coastwise trade"
 It is said that Stadden wrote his re- port on February l and sent it by mall.
 The close relationship of the Toyo Risen Kaisha to the Japanese govern ment is we'll known fact It re- ceives an enormous subsidy and is practically a government owned line. A coaling station conducted for this steamship line would be, as a matter of fact, in case of emergency, a coaling station for the Japanese navy. The statements, calmly made by the vice consul, appear in astounding conflict with the positive assertions of Ambas- sador Uchida of Japan. and of the Mexican government both of whom positively denied that any negotiations for a coaling station were under way.
 Until recently the Toyo Risen Kali sha found little cargo for its ships outbound from Yokohoma to South America and it was planned to have these ships carry coal to the propos- ed station at Manzanillo.
 Now, however, the Toyo Risen Kali sha is securing full cargoes of rice and and it is planned that, in the event of the establishment of the coaling station, the coal will be brought out from Japan.
 Incident to the various negotia- tions, rumors have arisen that coal fields exist along the west coast of Mexico. One of the more persistent of these rumors is to the effect that the Southern Pacific Railway has found coal along the line of it's propos- ed extension to Tepec."
