PALMER CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
Deposed Head of Fleet Cor
poration and Attorney Gen.
eraI Both at White House.

The Shipping Board situation again
occupied the attention yesterday of
President Coolidge through a con-
ference with Leigh c. Palmer, the
deposed president Of the Fleet Cor
poration. who had the support in Of
flee of the Chief Executive.
Later Attorney General Sargent
conferred with Mr. Coolidge, but
without any announcement of their
converse ton being made, although 1t
has been indicated that the President
would seek the Attorney Generals
views as to his legal powers over the
board.
Will Stick to Post.
Meanwhile. Elmer f. Crowley.
who was elected as president of the
Fleet Corporation to succeed Mr..
Palmer. without the boards consult
ing Mr.. Coolidge. was quoted in New
York as saying that he did not In
tend to resign. Mr.. Coolidge has In
dicated displeasure that he accepted
the office under such circumstances.
Mr. Crowley'S view is understood to
be that he is merely an emp.oye of
the board and has no part in the diff
ferenceS between the board and the
Executive.
While the position of Mr.. Coolidge
toward MIR. Crowley is generally re-
garded here as meaning that the
Fleet Corporation president is
persona non grata at the White
House, commissioners who partici-
pated in the action of the board in
removing Mr.. Palmer and substitute
ing Mr. Crowley expressed pleasure
over the latter's stand yesterday.
Deny They Will Resign.
In the face of the expressed inten-
ton of Mr.. Coolidge to move delib-
erately and with tolerance" in the
situation, reports persisted that some
of the opposition commissioners
might before long tender their resig-
nations. Denials were general, how
ever, that any designations were
contemplated.
The view of the ma jority of the
board was reiterated by one of their
spokesmen that the board was an in
dependent branch of Government and
was in no way responsible to the
White House. Mr.. Crowley is due
back tomorrow. when it Is planned
for him to meet with the board and
take up details of administration of
the Fleet Corporation.

This building is so planned as to permit of future enlargement with out disturbing the original front. It is also planned in such a way as to make possible it's conversion into a junior high school when the need arises for another junior high school III this city.
 1 Replacing the present Lincoln school, new building is planned for Steele street. The growth of the Lincoln district has been such as to . seriously ovcrtaN the capacity of the present building, which is a 1 0 room structure, and make new building necessary.
