Organization Opposed Battle.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-The cOnirma- ton of the appointment of Edgar Bat tie of this city was a victory for the anti-organization element of the Dem ocratic party in this city. The organ ization supported the application of the late Judge F. A. Mcdonald, and when Battle a real estate dealer, who had never been active in political work was appointed efforts were made to defeat his confirmation by the Senate. Senator Poindexter came to the as sistance of the organization, and was successful in preventing action by the Senate With the sudden death of Judge Mcdonald, the activity of the organization ceased. and it did not put forth another candidate for the place.
 Battle has been classified, because of the attitude of his brother Alfred Battle, the wealthy Seattle lawyer, as a reactionary. However, he has al- ways been regular.

FRENCH TO ORGANIZE
 BIG AIR ARMY
O 0

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The French gen. eral staff is satisfied that it is a mis- take to deem aeroplanes and dirigiblos useful merely for scouting, when they should be one of the most effective of offensive and defensive forces in war fare.
 The War Minister has worked out a plan to organize the air troops into commands determined by the objects to be attained. Reconnaissance will be important, but a large fleet of de- strOyers will be created to engage an enemys air fleet. When the air is swept clear craft of different types and armament can be employed against fortified positions and land forces.

Miss Priest, the fifth grade teacher, whose grade comes in the morning, gives part of the morn to that department The 5th, 9th, 7th and Sth grades are taken in rotation. Her willingness to take this extra work is greatly appreciated by the school authorities and stamps her as a conscientious teacher. Miss Priest lives here.
 Parents of the high school students, especially, are asked by the teachers to look over the studies their children are taking, and determine if it is the work needed for the future lines they will follow. Some of the students are said to have only vague idea of what they need.
 When the typewriters arrive all the rooms in the school building will be in use including the basement. One of the halls is being used for class.

 Judge GaynOr was one of the notable characters of the present time He was born in New York State about 60 years ago of Irish parents. He made a brilliant record at college. and began the practice of law in Brook lyn. The scholarly attainments and legal acumen disclosed in his volum- inous writings and numerous public addresses attracted attention to him early in life, and he amassed com fortable fortune from the law practice that followed He became active in politics while yet a young man as an anti-machine Democrat However. his political career began when he. as a citizen and at his own expense. com pelled the reassessment of the prop critics of the Long Island rapid transit corporations, and forced the inclu- sion of their franchises among their assessable properties. This case was taken to the last court of appeals be- fore the railway company surrendered to the brilliant young lawyer. The fame that Gaynor gained through this litigation caused his nomination and election to the supreme court bench on which he served for many years until he resigned, in fact. to run for Mayor of New York. While a su- preme court justice, it is said, he did more work per annum than any other justice that ever served on a New York bench, with one exception-that of Judges Jas. A. O'Gorman. now Unit ed States Senator.
 He was elected Mayor of New York IUur years agU, uvreaUIns r--titi.-... ... Hearst, Independent. and Otto Ban nard, Republican. He was nominated by Tammany when it was hard pressed to secure an independent can didate. As it was, Gaynor was the only Democrat that was elected by the electorate of the entire city. He was shot more than two years ago by James Gallagher, a disappointed la- borer and small contractor. and for several months his recovery was in doubt Mayor Goynor's administra- ton has been turbulent but it has been made interesting by the brillian- cy of the Mayors speeches. letters and other writings.
 Mayor Gaynor was refused a renOm- ination by Tammany on account of his independence of that organization. and he had announced before he sailed for Europe a few days ago that he would be an independent candidate for May or. He expected to be away from New York only three weeks.
