STATE AUDITOR GATES REPORT
The biennial report Of state Auditor
Gates to the Vermont legislature Is a
document which contains some inter
esting recommendation and matter.
Important among the recommendations
is the declaration that every official
of the state of Vermont should be a
desk man" and should be at his place
of business every working day of the
week" 1t is not apparent from the
text of the auditors report just what
officials are referred to in the recon-
mendation but it probably refers to
the heads Of departments which are Of
sufficient consequence to necessitate
constant attention by at least one man.
We do not believe that Auditor
Gates means that such officials as the
state geologist should be at his desk in
Montpelier all the time because the
demands Of the state geologist's office
do not require constant attention. But
he undoubtedly means that the depart
ments having considerable business
should be presided over in person by
the head officials instead Of having the
business placed upon subordinates
while the heads Of the departments are
engaged in private business. In 9th
er words, election or appointment to
high Office should not mean the honor
and the salary without the work, thus
forcing the state to pay other persons
to carry on the departments. II that

The preliminary hearing of the case
against prominent Rutland man who
was charged with granddaughter in kill
ing little girl by running her down
with his automobile resulted in ae-
quittal Of the respondent. With now
and then an exception, trials Of this
nature have a habit Of resulting in
acquittals. Il takes pretty strong ayi-
dence TO convict in such cases; ard,
mindful Of that, prosecuting officers
are generally loath to begin action.
Manslaughter by motor vehicle is far
different thing than msnslaughter by
force Of arms; and courts and lures
rarely recognize them to be in the
came class Yet respondents in the
two distinct cases have to BE- tried IN
der the same classification. To get at
exact justice il would seem that there

The ease with which the American
participants in the international ten
mis- match at Auckland, New Zealand,
carried of the honors in competition
against the pick of Australia indicates
that the United States has not gone
back in her athletic prowess Tilden
and Johnston, the American contend
ers, played in remarkable form and
demonstrated that the United States
is supreme in the net game. The de-
feat of the Cornell university hare and
hound team to the pick OF the British
representing oxford and Cambridge
universities on an English course does
not detract much from the reputation
of the United States inasmuch as the
Americans came from a single college
and were competing in contest which
is peculiarly English.

A new chairman of the Democratic
State Committee will be elected at a
meeting of that body to be held here
a week from to-day. The call was
issued from Albany yesterday By w.
w. Farley. who is resigning from the
Craftsmanship.
II is generally agreed that the chair
man shall be an upstate man. but no
understanding has been reached on the
person. George Van Nance of Water
town. who now is practising law here,
is making campaign for the job. His
enemies have said he has been picked
by former Gov. Smith in order that
Tammany might control. The ex-Gov-
ernor and Charles r. Murphy declare
they have taken their hands off
William RI. Kelly of Syracuse could
have the job II he wanted II. Edward
Corning OF Albany Is mentioned. the ar
gument being put forth that his election
might be helpful in the fight TO wrest
control of the city from the Repubii-
cans.
II will be necessary for the state
Committee TO adopt "A basis of repre-
sentation for the State and judiciary
conventions in accordance with the new
law, which says the apportioning OF the
delegates must be In accordance with

Stand Regarding Charge
Against Shallow.
WILL APPEAL TO MILLER
Accused Man Gets Vote of Con-
fidence in Case Of Coney
Island School Site.

The Board OF Education decided yes
terday to compel Comptroller Craig to
proceed to the fullest extent to prove
the charges he has made" of collusion
on the part of DIR. Edward r. Shallow,
Associate Superintendent of Schools. In
the recommends ton or a school site at
Neptune avenue and Thirtieth street.
Coney Island. In event of his failure to
prove his allegations the board pro-
poses to ask Gov. Miller for his removal.
The Comptroller said last week he
would ask the District Attorney OF
Kings county to investigate the Coney
school site for the purpose of presenting
1t TO a Grand Jury. He had not sub
mitted the matter to the District Attor-
ney last night.
The board gave Dr. Shallow vote
OF confidence and indorsed the following
statement by Commissioner Arthur S.
Somers:
1.-THE charge that DR.. Shallow would
enter into collusion is most absurd. but
In indorsing his selection we share his
responsibility. The charge Is against
the members of the Board of Education
as well as against him. believe the
authorities OF the city ana the Comp
troller should be forced TO proceed to
the fullest extent to prove the charges
he has made. I believe II will be the
duty of the board to apply TO the Gov
ernor for the removal OF this man, who
has made such an unholy and unworthy
charge against decent men and women"
The threat of the Board of Education,
which was appointed by Mayor Hylan.
was taken as concerted assault by
both the board and the Mayor to be rid
at one fell swoop of their common and
most persistent critic.
At Yesterdays session the board au-
thorized S23S,500 to pay for the site
recommended by DR.. Shallow. north of
lg0th street, between Amsterdam and
Audubon avenues. for the George Wash
ington High School. intended to serve
the Washington Heights section.
Comptroller Craig, II was learned. has
refused to give David Hrshfield. Com
missioner of Accounts, access to the FL
nance Department records to aid the
Commissioner in his investigation of the
Comptrollers connection with the re-
lease of title to the Neptune avenue
property, according to Hirshfield. AS
result he said, he was compelled yes
terday 70 resort to the archives OF the
Registrars office OF Kings county in
an effort TO ascertain the number and
identity of claimants of the property.
