which will end competitive navy

The idea is known to have applied
to some high officers of the govern

battle craft. 1t has impressed other
officials as an undesirable and i'm
practical course, however, and final
decision probably will not be reached
until the full program of disposing OF
scrapped battleships has been worked
out in detail by technical experts.
In any case, one of the ships des-
tined to be destroyed probably will be
sent to the bottom by gunfire. The

misunderstanding of
Registration Laws Cause
of Furry at City Hall

Politically speaking excitement got
at fever heat during the carly part of
the day Thursday at City hall, where
the city fathers arc in session as the
board of registration and for Il time
threatened to tie up Il whole lot of
votes which are expected to be cast
at the polls on next Monday.
Alderman Bridges appearing on
the scene, charged that the law re-
curing but two days for registration
of votes had been overlooked and
those registrations after the closing
hour on Wednesday evening were
null and void. For a time the wise
heads accepted this ruling as law
and gospel but after taking the mat
ter up with legal council it was found
that the board of registration must
be in session two days not counting
Saturday and Sunday before a prim-
airy election.
Thus the board will be in session
today from 0 to l y. NJ. and from ,
to Z. NJ. and those voters who
registered on Tuesday and Wednes-
day should reappear before the board
and register again today and may by
so doing make sure of their being
legal voters at the primary on Mon
day.

tions was such that the mayor in his
inaugural address brought the mat
ter to the attention of the citizens.
At that time, however, the wages
raid to Gardiner teachers was nearly
500 more than the State average.
Since that time. however, many other
cities and towns have risen to the
emergency and the State average has
been largely increased. For the past
school year the Gardiner salary scale
in elementary schools is s16G less
than the State average. In other
words, the slight progress in salary
support made in Gardiner has been
entirely overshadowed by that taken
in the State as whole. e.
In a group of the cities and larger
towns of the State the elementary
wage scale in Gardiner at the present
time is very nearly the lowest. The
median salary paid is the lowest of
any place included in the group re-
ferred to. Several cases selected at
random were mentioned in which
the minimum salary exceeds Gardi-
ner's maximum.
The wage schedule in the High
school also needs revision according
to the figures which Mr.. Allan quoted.
I1ere again local salaries were in eX-
cess of the State average in 1919, but
for the current year are decidedly
under the State average. He made it
clear that the State average is de-
termined by considering the salary
schedules of every city, town and
plantation within the State.
While recognizing the efforts being
made for supporting of education, he
pointed out that the municipal tax
rate of the current year is three mills
less than the average of such rates
for the State. In the State as a whole
81 $40 cents of every dollar raised
by taxation is applied to school sup
port. In Gardiner only % 10 cents
is so paid. This is less than the rate
of support in most other cities and
towns in which conditions are COM
parable.
Mr.. Allan paid tribute to the pro-
fcssional spirit of the Gardiner
teachers and to the interest of the
Parent Teacher Association in back
ing a movement SO important for
school progress.
Following Mr.. Allan's address,
which was given generous applause,
, refreshments of coffee and cake were
served

Italian Cardinals
Indifferent to u. S.
Part in COnclave

Rome, Feb, S-(By A. P.)-TWo
thirds of the foreign cardinals and a
small fraction of the Italians favored
American participation in the con-
clave which elected Pope Plus XI.
Against the proposal to delay the
election were almost all the Italian
cardinals, led by the cambridge,
Cardinal Gasparr.
1t is learned that the Austrial Car
dinal Piffi, archbishop of Vienna, and
|. Cardinal Csernoch, primate of Hun
gary. made a determined stand in the
conclave that the final choice for the
papal crown should not be made un :
til at least one American was present.
America is vital part of the
church." Cardinal Csernoch said to
the members of the sacred college.
1T will be calamitous to deny her
participation in the election of the
pontiff. 1t will have a grave reac-
ton among the American people: it
will wound their pride and dignity.
1 ask the conclave to weigh we'll the
consequences of it's act before casting
this vote"
Cardinal Piff was even more deter
mined at the conclave. Yes. it may
be tdue." he said in answer to one of
his Italian colleagues, that prolonga-
ton would not be in strict consonance
with the constitution. But can the
Sacred College risk offending America
for the sake of a technicality? l say
It cannot"
Cardinals Lucon, Dubois, Andrieu
and Maurin called on the papal secre-
tary of state today to submit, with
Cardinal Lucon as spokesman. the re-
quest that the papal constitution be
amended fixing the date for the con-
vening of a conclave at an indefinite
| period after the demise of the Pope
| to permit the United States, Canada
and South America to participate.
Cardinal Gasparri received the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent few
, minutes after the departure Of the
| French prelates. He absolutely rcfus
| ed to be quoted upon the matter, but
when urged permitted the correspon
| dent to say that it was quite possible
even probable, that the question OF
| American participation in future con
claves' would be discussed at the mex
consistory.
| Pope Plus has postponed until after
the coronation all deliberations and dc
cision upon important matters.
He has not yet appointed his sue
cessor to the archbishopric of MILAN
which by his own election automatic
ally becomes vacant, but continues t
administer the diocese himself.
The Pope's sister Camilla and hi
brother Francesca, arrived from Desit
| today and took up quarters in thu
Vatican, there to remain until ate
the coronation. The Pope is under
stood to have expressed one regret
that henceforth he would be unable
to indulge in his favorite sport of Al
pine climbing.

Says Thompson of
G. 0. P. Borrowed
from Federal Bank

Washington, Feb. 9-The assertion
that William Boyce Thompson, of
the National Republican organiza-
ton, had borrowed 100000 from
the New York Federal Reserve bank
on dummy note" was made by
Senator Hcflin, Democrat, Alabama,
in The Senate today in the course of
an attack on the Federal Reserve
Board.
The alleged "def1ation" policy of
the board was the special theme to-
day of Senator Heflin, who referred
to w. +. G. Harding, governor, and
Edmund Platt, vice governor of the
board as "the gold dust twins" The
former, he said, was "a half hammer
cd democrat" while the letter was
referred to by the senator as 'hick-
ory-nut headed republican"
That the board, in it's reported or
dcrs to refuse credit on cotton, had
been guilty of stealing millions of
dollars from farmers of the south"
was asserted by Senator Heflin, who
also declared that the New York
reserve bank was spending $25,000,-
600 on headquarters building erect
cd from profits'taken from farmers of
the south and west.
That credit defation, said to have
been ordered by the boarl had caused
loss of many votes to the democratic
party in cotton states in 1870. was
asserted by Senator Heflin, who said
cotton growers were incensed at the
administration of the federal res We

Senator Hef1in promised to contin-
ue indefinitely what he termed his
fight against Wall Street and what
he said it represents.

Interesting Parent. Teacher Meeting

The February meeting of the Pa

held Thursday evening in the High
school auditorium, was by far the
most largely attended of any meeting
held since organization, as we'll as
one of the most interesting. The
speaker Of the evening was Harold
Allen of the State Department of
Education and he spoke on the sub
ject of THE Salaries of Teachers"
Music was rendered by the High
school orchestra and was thoroughly
enjoyed. The solo dances given by
Miss Louise Allen were cleverly exc
cuted and received we'll merited ap-
plause.
In the course Of his remarks, Mr..
Allen made reference to the general
problem relating to the employment
of teachers and of school support but
emphasized especially the situation
in Gardiner. He pointed out that the
comparative figures given were not
in any way to be interpreted as a
criticism of Gardeners interes. in her
schools. The splendid new High
school building is as direct an indi-
cation of a general interest in school
prosperity as one will find in any
Maine community.
An analysis of reasons for losses of
efficient teachers from the Gardiner
schools shows many transfer to other
places. The fact that other places
are Offering higher salaries puts the
school officers continually face to
face with the problem of filling posi-
tions with less money to offer for
those positions than can be offered
in the group of cities and towns with
which Gardiner may be said to be
competing. He cited the salaries
lad among the places in this group,
indicating that with such places
Gardiner is a general competitor and
that it is to the schools of such
places that Gardiner teachers go.
