mat Vernoy could not be elected, nor
would he indicate in anv wav his
preference between Fain and Pace.
Mayor Woodward declared Thurs
DAY That the deadlock would not in
terfere with the workings of the no.
ice department or hamper in any
way the routine affairs of the Police
board.
i am acting chairman of the board
uhtIl chairman is elected" said the
Mayor. Il can sign all vouchers and
papers as acting chairman, and the
work of the police department will
not be hampered in any way. 1t is
not absolutely necessary that the
chairman of the board sign anything.
vouchers are signed by the chief of
pollCe and the chairman of the Coun-
ell Police Committee and the Comp
troller, and ! don't think the sigma
ture OF the chairman of the board is
needed. He is only a figure head,
anyway; his most arduous duty lies
IN recognizing some member who
wants to talk. 1t is merely an empty
title, with small opportunity to gain
notoriety or prominence.
we could get along all right if
the board didn't elect a chairman for
a year. There is a regular order of
business to be transacted each time,
and do not think the election Of
a chairman will take precedence over
this order of business. Neither do |
think the people are going to stand
for the commissioners to meet and
ballot continually and do nothing
else"
Board Differs With Mayor.
The Mayors opinion that the reg
ular order of business shall be fol-
lowed regardless of the election of a
chairman, is not concurred in by
members of the board Marv of them
contend that the election of a chair
man must be the first thing done by
the board.
The Fain supporters point out that
none of the routine business was
transacted at the last feetinf. the bal
loting for chairman consuming the
entire time of the session Several
matters of extreme Importance were
allowed to go over while the Com
missioners devoted their time to the
fight for the Craftsmanship.
Notable among them was the trial
Of Policeman Benson, who has been
under charges for more than a month
and should have been tried last Tues
day night. Benson's case can not now
be heard until the next meeting. which
is the second Tuesday in April.
Commissioner Johnsons resolution
providing forty more policemen,
which would have given the city ade
quate police protection, also was
passed up. This resolution. intro
duced by one of Fains supporters, is
known 10 be favored nv Fain him
self and all the other five men who
voted for him.

GERMAN NAVAL MEN
TAKE OPPOSITE VIEW

Berlin. July "A view recently
expressed by the British admiral, Sir
Percy Scott, that the development Of
submarines and hydroplanes made
dreadnaughts and large cruisers obso-
lete has caused much discussion in
German naval circles. So far as their
public utterances 20. German naval
experts unanimously reject Admiral
Scott's view
The German Fleet society has pro-
nounced itself decidedly against IT,,
and now Admiral Won Breusing has
published an article taking the same
position. He admits that the subma-
rine has recently made great prog
ress and now exceeds the hopes that
were at first held for it. and he also
admits that the means of protection
against the submarine had not been
developed at an equal race. Neverthe-
less the submarines range Of activity
Is a limited one. Even if II should put
the dreadnaughts out Of commission
in shore waters. the latter would still
be needed for operations on the high
seas, where as vet. nobody expects
that the submarine can venture ow-

HOUSE Of LORDS
To Be ABOLISHED
SOON IN ENGLAND
ASQuith Expected to Lay Rad
icaI Reform Proposition Be-

in British Government,


London. July 4.-Durins the month
of Hs'..ihe prime minlsfer il'-lf.'
before the house of commons the pro-
posals Of the government for con-
stitution OF new second chamber
to take place Of the house of lords.
1t is not expected that any attempt
will be made this year TO translate
these proposals into law, hut they
are being made in accordance with a
promise in the kings speech at the
opening Of parliament that they would
be submitted for consideration dur
ing the present session.
While the scheme is not yet COM
plete il is known that the hereditary
principle. which even many unionlsts
oppose will be largely or entirely
eliminated, and that the other
churches of the kingdom VIII be Civ
en- similar representation to that
now enjoyed by the established chuich
of England What the liberal party
except those opposed 10 any second
chamber at all, aims at is TO secure
that. the new second chamber snail
to a large extent, be in union with
the house of commons In order TO
obtain this it is probable that every
freshly elected house of commons
will have the right to nominate GER
tain proportion, perhaps one-third OF
the second chamber Thus if house
Of commons is liberal, so VIII be the
other branch of the legislature, ana
if on the other hand. it should be
conservative, it will be able to con
stitute the second chamber In hai-
mony with its own views.
AS the house of commons is be
coming more and more a house OF
groups, it would follow that the Vari-
Gus groups would have representa-
tiyes in the second chamber, and Eng
land may live to see laborltes' socia l-
lists and even Irish nationalists seat
ed on the benches now sacred to peers
of the realm.
# this plan were adopted it would
be question whether ii would be
necessary to continue those provisions
of the parliament act which prohibit
the upper house from vetOing house
of commons bills more than twice.
However, this is one Of the tre-
mendous tasks which the liberal
party has undertaken and to carry
which it must overcome not only the
opposition of the unionst party the
church, the present peers, but mat
great body Of English conservatism
which Will brook no change IN estap-
