MAJESTIC IN DRYDOCK
Brought to Boston Pier, Where It Will Be Thoroughly Overhauled Before Making Next Trip.

Boston, Nov 16,--The White Star liner Majestic, largest of merchant ships, was drydocked at the common wealth dock. owned by the II. &. Navy. the only plant in the world now in operation that is big enough to cradle the giant liner. Slipping into the harbor in the morning mist 24 hours out from New York the Ma jestic was warped into the dock in 40 minutes by battery of 2 tugs all lined up on her portside. Notwith- standing her length of 956 and her beam of 100 feet, there was room to spare for the big boat.
 Before her next trip across. sched- uled to start from New York on November 25, the Maiestic's hull will be scraped and painted In the course of he rcareer as the Bismarck, of the German mercantile marine and the Majestic, she has collected some six tons of sea growth. With this re- moved her shore side slicked with new paint, her speed should be in creased by several knots an hour.
 At the same time the big liner will take on a new set of propellers pitched for higher speed.
 The docking operation was observed by Commodore c. A. Bartlett of the White Star line. who came here from Europe especially for the purpose as this was the first time the Majestic had been docked.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE
Orfori, N. H., Police Think Dead Man May Have Been Implicated in killing of Old Men.

Orford. N. H., Nov 16-The suicide by shooting yesterday of Earl M Hib- bard at lumber camp outside this town was. coupled today with the murders last week of John and Charles Davis. aged brothers, by in vestigators who have been without clue to the slayers of the latter.
 The authorities found in the fact that Hubbard had in his shack a shoe stained with blood cause for turning their inquiries toward the possibility that there might be connection be- tween the murders and the suicide.
 In pursuing this line of investiga- tion, they arranged to take finger prints of Hubbard for comparison with those on the bloodstained handle of the axe with which the Davis broth- CTS were killed. It was planned also to see If there was any print or mark left in the Davis house which might correspond with the stained shoe found in the Hubbard shack.
 Hubbard killed himself with rifle which he had taken from his home on a hunting trip.

MAYOR ASKS SEPARATE
 LEVY OF SCHOOL TAX
Believes Assessment for General Expenses Should
 Be Considered by Itself

Mayor A. M. Paonessa is in favor of drastic change in the system of levying taxes. suggesting that the charter be so amended that one tax to be known as general tax and another to be known as a school tax be placed each year, each to be a spe- cial levy and independent of the ether.
 Under this arrangement, the mayor feels the city can be run on a 1o mill general tax while the schools will require about eight or nine mills.
 The mayor has been informed thai this system is used in many other cit ies and towns with success and h, feels that after d fair trial it would be adopted permanently here. Mayor Paonessa explains that n, | omical administration when tn, school board is operating independ ently. The mayor, given tax to TUT all departments but the schools would be in position to hold dowr all expenses and make favorable showing, he believes. Under present
 
 conditions all other departments may he pared down closely and then tht school department will come in with recommendation for a new schoo that will offset all the rest. he ar. gues.
 He also pointed out that when 1t is apparent that much of the tax in crease is caused by school expendi. lures there would be tendency upor the part of the taxpayers to demand more economical administration oi school finances.
 Judge B. F. Gaffney, chairman O the school board, feels there was little merit in the proposed change. IT 1898, the judge proposed such a plar to bring the matter before the pub lie for discussion and since that timt 1t has been frequently talked of bu without action.
 The expenses of school maintenance, and extensions must be met, he ex plains, and it matters little whether the bill is submitted to the taxpayer on separate sheet of paper or to gether with other account.

PURCHASING AGENT OF SMALL VALUE TO CITY Would Handle Slightly More Than $1OO,OOO of Public
 Expenditures

That the hiring of purchasing agent by the city as proposed to the committee on charter revision Is not advisable, is the opinion expressed today by Comptroller Hanford L. Cur tis, whose approval must be given all bills against the city before payment is made. He finds that there is but a small amount of money laid out for items that would be handled by d purchasing agent, the bulk of the city's expenditures being for salaries or fixed charges over which such an official would have no control.
 It is said that slightly more than $100,o00 out of tIe city's $2,000, 900 budget would pass through a purchas- ing agents hands. After $5,o00 had been saved on these comparatively small expenditures to meet the salary item for the office thus created, the possibility of further reductions would be remote, those who oppose the new office point out
 Using the figures contained in the budget under which the city is now operating. MT. Curtis feels that the school appropriation of $715,642 could not be disturbed by the pur- chasing agent Contracts cover a greater part of the public works de- partment's accounts which are. Street department. st24,71S; street lighting, ss4.50o; street sprinking, s15,ooO; state highway account, s5,- 900; sewer maintenance. $12,000; permanent pavement. $33,O0O. Ot these amounts the agent would be empowered to spend but a very small amount s Tn the police department, receiving $122,911. the sum of 3s9,646 Is foi salaries of regular patrolmen and $14,0oo for supernumaries, leaving slightly more than $s,0oo after salar- ies have been deducted Other items in this account not calling for pur- chases are: Fire detail, $50; chair man and clerk. s5S5: motor repairs, s75o; lighting. s40o; signal system, $500; subway rental. $S1O; telephones, s55o; garage rental, $720 Approxi- mately s3,o0o of this departments funds might find it's way into the purchasing agents hands.
 After salaries and other fixed charges of the fire department had been paid it is believed that less than $15.000 would be laid out in pur- chases out of a total appropriation of s123,256.
 The board of charities received $s3,152 out of which there are salares and institutional bills in large amounts.
 The health board was given $25,925. Salaries and the garbage contract alone reduce the amount that would reach purchasing agent to about $3,0o0 while there are several other fixed charges.
 Other items that could not be re- duced through this channel are: Spe cial appropriations. s232,6oo; interest and discount, $134,8s5; payments or principal. s2o2,7oo.
 The incidental fund of $25.00C would allow of small cuts, while sal. aries, amounting to $55.S6S would re- main untouched.
 The proposition was brought before the charter revision committee Mon- day evening by Committeeman P. & McMahon who felt that such an off cial might save the city many times his own salary. The matter was in- formally discussed and no action was taken.
