A clause1 in this contract provided that '.he contractor should have the use of the two scows now imder discus sion Before the. Lord-Young concern turned the scows over, about $3,000 was spent in renovating them, and getting them in what the engineers considered serviceable condition. y An Inspector was sent, over from Major Wooten's . office, and he passed the scows; up as' to requirements. They were then left at the disposal of the Breakwater Company. When the latter concern was ready to begin, putting in rock, complaint was made about the two scows, which were represented as being leaky as lobster pots, and utterly unfit to carry a load. the "Lost on a Lonely Oceans photograph above referred to was forwarded in substantiation of the claim., Arpiy Stands' Pat ' "What about it;' was the query of Mr,-Wood's.

At torney; Joseph Ughtfoot "and the Misses Etta Davis and Maud Dawson this morning, at the school commis-. sion's hearing of the Davis and Daw son cases. Countering these, Professor Wood brought seTious accusations of Insub ordination and incompetence against the two young women, the former of whom is still retained this year as instructor in the. Normal school with out increase in salary, and the latter merely dismissed, "for the good of the department," being .the only ex planation vouchsafed her. In the latter case Attorney Light foot presenting Miss Dawson's argu ment, asserted: "This method of dismissal meant ruination to a young woman, ine mystery of what might lay behind it would ruin any young woman, particu larly one who must make her living by teaching in the public schools. This is far. worse to a teacher than disbarment would be to a lawyer." An another point", referring to Prof. Wood's charge that Miss Dawson was always on the verge of open rebellion.
