John II. Delaney Tells Consti-
tuition Makers Of Reor-
ganizatiOn Plan.
WOULD SAVE MILLIONS

Albany, May s.--Suggestions for re-
organizing the New York state govern
mcnt under nineteen departments TO
supplant the 169 boards. bureaus. de-
partments and commissions now running
the government featured the activities OF
the Constitutional Convention to-day
John II. Delaney. ex-Commissioner Of
Efficiency and Economy. recently legis-
lated out OF office. offered the surges-
tons NJ hearing before the committee
on the Governor and State officers.
Mr.. Delaney steered a course clear
OF the short ballot question with which
the committee will deal. and thereby
escaped much questioning which had
been planned. As IL was however, he
had frequent tins with Henry L. slim
son. Chairman Tanner and other NOM
bers Of the committee. who didn't take
kindly 10 his idea that the Constitution
must limit the power of the Legislature
II the State Ia TO be conducted eco
nomically.
Tho Legislature cannot be trusted to
cut down appropriations. Mr.. Delaney in
sisted. describing the wire pulling for
appropriations which he had come in
contact with during his term as n State
official.
stimson Takes Exception.
When Mr. Delaney charged that the
heads Of the State departments actually
will not help in the making OF an
economical budget. but really try to get
larger appropriations for themselves, Mr.
Stimson remarked:
"why. that is impossible You mean
that the subordinates try TO get more
appropriations. The heads of the de-
partments must work for economy II the
Governor announces an economical pro-
gramme."
Mr.. Delaney grinned and laid before
the committee concrete illustrations OF
the efforts made by State department
and bureau heads to get larger appro-
priatlons while the Legislature was try
ing TO trim the State budget
Men with proper consciences could
save the state millions Of dollars a
year" said Delaney commenting on
his idea for board OF control Of FIVE
men 10 supervise the minor activities
of tho Governor and keep track OF
various details of the State government

Williams stated that more attention
would be given to the manuel training
and domestic art departments in fu-
ture, and that it was the purpose of
the board to bring every department
up to the highest state of efficiency
possible. He spoke of the tendency
of parents to allow their children 10
leave school after passing the eighth
and ninth grades, tendency winch
the board hoped to see changed This
was day when the young man OF
woman with an education had a pc
culiar advantage over those without
this equipment in the battle of life.
He urged parents to correct this ten
dency and pointed out that with a
larger attendance in the higher grades
it would be possible to increase the
teaching force and place the Cres-
cent City high school among the best
equipped high schools in the state.
Mr.. Williams also paid a deserved tri-
butte to the faculty, and dwelt unon
the happy cordiality which existed be-
tween teachers and pupils.
The Crescent City school has manv
pupils who come from a distance, and
the prospects are that more of this
class will come as its excellence be-
comes better known.

The Auditorium was packed with
people last Friday night to witness
the closing exercises of the public
school. Not only were the home peo-
pie there, but visitors were present
from Seville and many surrounding
towns. That they were pleased was
evidenced by the applause which
greeted the completion of the various
numbers on the program.
The program opened with march
ing and musical number by the pri.
mary pupils entitled Every Day in
the Week" which was especially
pleasing and creditable alike to the
teachers and pupils. The little ones
were uniformly graceful and engag-
ing. WV,
"The Mouse Trap" a farce by Will
liam Dean Howells, presented by the
young ladies. of the high school and
the eighth grade, assisted by Harold
Bache, was a very clever and enter
tanning bit of acting which on the part
of several of the young ladies was so
clever as to seem almost real. The
."Fairy Shoemaker" was a pretty
little operetta with engaging music in
which the part of the Shoemaker"
was taken by Prof. Wheatley, and the
other parts and the chorus by pupils
of the school above the third grade.
The entire program was delightful
w rendered and the audience enjoyed
the entertainment thoroughly.
At the conclusion of the program
Mr.. f. H. Williams, president of the
board of trustees, presented the grad
uating certificates in neat address
of congratulation, after which he
turned to the audience and told the
people some facts of interest concern
ing the school and its work calculated
to inspire them with a greater inter-
est in the work of the school. Mr..
Williams stated that it was the pur-
pose of the trustees to increase the
scope of the schools work as fast as
possible-as the patronage and money
would warrant. To this end he stat
ed, that the board felt warranted in
Increasing the teaching force by the
addition of another teacher in the pri-
mary department for the coming year.
and he stated that they had employed
Miss Elsie Padgett, who was to grad

lady who had passed through the
Crescent City school before entering
the university and who would be re-
membered by school patrons and pu-
pills as one of the brightest scholars
ever graduated from the school. Mr..

SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
1t Takes Five Minutes For the Best OF
Them TO Get Under.


Submarines are not easy to handle
and it takes considerable skill ana
daring 10 navigate them SuccesSIuIiy'
Many people have the idea that rs soon
as submarine sees an enemy, the
officer in command gives a sharp order
and almost before II has left ms ups
the submarine is diving beneath the
waves.
As matter of fact the very latest
submarines take a clear five minutes
before they can become submerged
Many of the older submarines took ten
minutes to n quarter of an hour 10
sink.
The reason that submarine cannot
dive quickly. like a fish. is because the
water which must be let into her taiiNS
to make her heavy enough to SIM
must be let in comparatively slowly
If it were let in with a rush the
chances are the vessel would not 90
down on an even keel, but would h"eI
/ over and be in great danger Oh us
aster. If water. too. were let III to"
quickly there is a danger of letting N
too much and in that case the SUD
marine would sink like a stone to th'
bottom of the sea.
The depth mt which Il submarine
travels under the sea is regulated by
horizontal rudders. The water that Is
let in the ballast tanks is just sum
cient TO "balance" the vessel IN the
sea without rising or sinkng.-Lohuoh
