to it's full height. the ship. which had been stationary for three days, was seen to rock in the swelling tide and twenty minutes later her bow rose slightly. The powerful Wrecking tugs Relief and Rescue were pulling val- iantly on her stern to both starboard and port and the Irene's donkey engine were straining at the cables, which were caught in kedge anchors to the seaward. At 3.03 the anchor cables began to sIacken-the first sign that the big ship would free herself from the sandpit-

 Meanwhile the tugs Nichols and Timmins, which had been standing by, set their stub noses against the Irene's s bow sides and edged her out into still deeper water. She lay to until it was made certain that she was still sea- worthy and was cautiously lowed away to the west. Her engines were in good working order, but 1t was feared that tho propellers might foul the shattered rudder, and towing was resorfed to as wisest. Two additional tugs acted as rudders and steadied her at the stern Covered With Blanket of Snow. At sunrise the big ships super structure was covered with a blanket of snow three inches deep.

FIXED INTERNATIONAL DATE FOR EASTER SUNDAY
Proposition to Reform the Calendar in the Interest of Trade.

Boston. April 9.-The fact that concerted effort, international in scope, for the purpose of reforming the call endar and establishing a fixed inter national date for Easter is to be made within few months, became known here in the receipt by officis1s of the Boston chamber of commerce of an announcement that the Swiss govern ment intends to call an international diplomatic conference for that pur- pose at an early date The announce ment of the intention of the Swiss government was contained in com munication sent to the Boston cham
 Der of commerce from the permanent
 bureau of the International Congress of chambers of commerce, with head quarters at Brussels, Belgium. One
 of the members of the permanent bu- reau is E. A. Filene of Boston, who
 will attend a special meeting of the
 bureau at Brussels this summer.
 The matter of establishing a fixed
 international calendar has been
 brought before the last two biennial
 sessions of the international congress
 of chambers of commerce, and it is
 expected will come before that body
 in the summer of 1912,- when, for the first time. the congress will meet in America, Boston being the city select ed.
 It is pointed out by the supporters of the reformed calendar idea that owing to the differences between the calendars of the Greek. Catholic and Russian churches and the Gregorian calendar which is adopted by practi- cally all other Christian peoples, com mercia1 intercourse is handicapped and the exchange of commercial paper becomes complicated.
 | The unifcation of the Gregorian cal endar is desired by the supporters of | the plan. At the present time there 1 is a difference of thirteen days be- l tween the Julian and Gregorian cal l endars.
 1 The international congress of cham l bers of commerce believe that on ac- 1 count of the variability of the dates i of Easter, trade in general suffers te | great extent. It is said. by members l of this congress that spring business | is slack until after Easter and thai
 fixed rather than a varying date 1 for that great feast day of the Chris l tian church would be of incalculabIt advantage to merchants.

NEW BRIDGE NOW SPANS
 THE WESTFlELD RIVER
Thousand-T Ton Structure Rolled Into
 Position Yesterday.

Huntington. Mass. April a.--A three span steel bridge. 234 feet long and weighing over 1000 tons, to replace an old iron one spanning the West field river on the Boston & Albany railroad was successfully rolled into position here today, the entire work of taking away the old and placing the new structure requiring but 49 sec onds. Half an hour later, when the rails were connected, the new bridge was ready for service. Several off, cials of the road and guests witnessed the operation.
 The work of building the new bridge on the. upstream side of the cid struc- ture began four weeks ago. When completed the new bridge and the old were both mounted on rollers and at the signal given today the two masses of steel and iron were moved down- stream until the old. bridge was dis placed and The new one lined perfect- ly with the tracks of the sroslN E bed Then tile rails were joined a1ids the lines were ready for use.

New York, April 9-Bearing no visi- ble scars except a shattered rudder post, the North German Lloyd liner Princess Irene slipped away from Fire Island this afternoon as unexpectedly as she ran aground in the fog on Thursday morning. After eighty three hours of Imprisonment in the sand off the Lone Hill life saving station she cheated the graveyard of the Allan tic' and was fioated with the aid of tugs at 3.e5 p. m. At $40 she left in tow for Scotland Light. practically at the entrance Of New York harbor, to anchor for the night.
 Divers to Examine Hull Today.
 Tomorrow morning the Irene will come up to her dock and after divers have examined her hull she will be rushed to Newport News for more stay there will depend upon what this inspection discloses. The vessel has not taken 8 drop of water however, and her plates are thought to be in- tact.a
 Captain May Escape Lightly.
 The North German Lloyd has been noted for its kindly leniency toward conscientious commanders who have mishaps. and as the veteran Petersen of the Princess Irene will take his ship back across the Atlantic under her own steam, practically undamaged, it is the assumption here among those who profess to know that Peterssen's s personal grief will be his chief punish- ment. He has had a hawless and mo- table record heretofore. and in New York steamship circles it is believed that if his explanation of the ground ing is considered satisfactory his repri- mand will not be severe.
 "A Miracle of Good Luck"
 To the life savers who followed the work which was done to save the Princess Irene her sudden floating to- day was 9 great surprise. Capt. G. F. Goddard of the Lone Hill station was astounded. Y In his opinion it was "a miracle of good luck" otherwise at unusually high tide, stirred up by g southeasterly storm at sea.

 b. Are appointments made by them (nore than before) on the grounds of fitness rather than political strength?
 Berkley-Politics plays no part in the appointments; although, of course personal friendship does.
 In Berkley there has been as yet few changes in appointees. It is doubtful if better men could be procured than those who were employed under tha old elective system.

 C. Does the administration in its methods resemble more than the old form the business administration oi some large industry?
