In the report of the Secretary of tn,
Treasury we read:
The achievements of this alert body
of something like two thousand men
have placed our life-saving service in
the front rank of humanitarian insti-
tutions This distinction has not
been gained. however, without the
sacrifice of health and even of life it.
self, on the part of many members
of the corps The majority of those
who become disabled in the line of
duty have families, and few indeed
have any income or means of liveli-
hood after being turned out to make
room for the sound men that the ard
uous work of the service demands.
1t is serious matter that our Gov
eminent has not made adequate pro-
vision for these incapacitated ones,
many of whom are veterans of thirty
years service.
What secretaries can recommend, Sec
retaries have recommended, but they can
do little more. This matter is now a
task not alone for the congressman of
such coast districts as the twin capes of
Massachusetts Bay, but for the organic
ed effort of all the congressman of the
coast and Great Lake States.

He pointed out that Pittsburgh was
without a superintendent for five or six
months before selecting DR.. Davidson,

The suggestion that the board select a

port last night by two local organiza-
lions. A third association rejected a
motion urging the board to appoint a
Washington resident to the post.

schools are superintended by a woman,
Mrs Ella Flagg Young, the Federal
Toman's Equality League passed a
woman for the position. The league
met last night at the home of Mrs. p.

tions contended that woman Is better
suited than man for the post, because
she has quicker sympathy and Under

court for over two days, were ad-
judged by jury not guilty yester-

TO the jury at two o'clock yester-

only grounds the jury had for doubt
as to whether or not it was case

Smith, who acknowledged to doing
the shooting, reloaded his gun-a

Mr.. Mullen stated that he was eX-

accorded the resolution and stated
that forty-two measures are now
