SKILLED IN CARPENTRY ZtA Seioo Students to Aid in Preparedness PHILADELPHIA High School boys with manual trainlnK experience will help build fleet of 1000 wooden ships for United States. Five hundred boys have nlrctuly volunteered and hui lreds mo k. are expected to volunteer as soon us cull is understood. Other schools with manual train ing courses to bo asked to help. Girl volunteers for clerical work, Red Cross activities and agricultural work will also be called in few days. These nlans. nnnounced today by United States Government at the suggestion of Philadelphia Homo De fense Committee. Assurances havo been received from tho Vnlted, States Government by tho Philadel phia Homo Defense Committee that tho suggestion of Mayor Smith to have buys rom tho Philadelphia hlch schools play an Important part In tho construction of the fleet 'of -wooden ships for food-carrying lurposes, will probably be adopted. The usrgcstlon was to tho effect that there nro undretls of boys In tho upper classes of Uio local high tchools who havo had consid erable training In carpentry and wood work- ig-, and that under competent supervision Uiey would be of enormous value In over running the shortage of skilled wood worlc:ra. Slncu the passing of tho heyday of wood en ships tho ship carpenter trade has dwln- lied to such nn extent that nt present there ii red comparatively few of tfiese craftsmen Tho majority of those who still follow the rado are along the Great Lakes and the Vew Knglaml coast. It has been found hat there will be somo dllilculty In flndlnt; nough of these men to meet the. needs In oiiBtructlng the wooden ships to break tho Tiubmarlne blockade.

The suggestion will irnhably bo carried to a further extent and u-Jents from various manual training In. tltutlotm throughout tho country may be nrolled In this work. The exact number of students In this city who aro fitted for this work Is not known t present, but within a short time It will be. The Philadelphia homo defense school mo. 'Illiatlon cdmmlteo Is at present taking a complete census of all boys and young men n the schools, and has lsueil a call for olunteer workers, to which over 500 have .esponded In tho first few days. A complete lystem has been Introduced by which they will bo separated Into sections according to "lis type of work for which they aro best ilttod. Thus they will be divided, and those who .re best suited for agricultural work will ue engaged on tho farms, while thoso who are not suited to such work will bo cm iloyed In the canneries or In various other ilnes of activity In which they can perform H service to the nation at this time. High school girls also will be Included in the plan. The first call for girl volunteers will probably bo sent out within a few days "5omo of them will be listed for clerical "vork, while others will be engaged In Red Cross activities or tho many other things n which they could be useful, some even taking an active part In tho agricultural vork.

Khecban. Register of Wills, to recover $103,118.74 collateral In heritance tax commissions. This decision contradicts an affidavit filled by tho defenso, which asserts that the City Commissioners cannot use the name of tho county In the suit, which resulted from the County Commissioners' claim that tho money, under tho act of July St, 1013, should havo been turned over to tho county treasury. Tho commissions were allowed Shcehan by the Commonwealth as com pensation for his collection ot ihs collateral Inheritance tax during tho three years ond Ing January 31, 1917. An affidavit of defense to the suit was filed on behalf of Shcehan, In which It was contended that no suit on such a claim could bo brought In tho name of tho County of Philadelphia ; that the City Commis sioners have no right to sue in tho name of tho county, and that the act of July 21, 1013, Imposes upon tho Register of Wills no dutv to turn over to tho county treasury tho commissions1 sued for, becauso It docs not apply to such commissions, "and be cause. If It does apply f them, It offends against the Constitution and is, therefore, of no effect. Upon the filing of this defense by Shee han, Alexander Simpson, Jr., on behalf of tho commissioners, took a rule for judgment In favor of the count, contending that tho affidavit of defenso was Insufficient. It Is In disposing of this rule that Judgo Audemled today (lied his opinion. Ho points out that the right of tho city commissioners to bring suit In the name of the county has already been decided affirmatively by tho Supreme Court In another branch of this case. With respect to tho meaning and ef fect of tho Act of July 21, 1913, the Judge holds that It must be construed as including within Its scope tho teglster's commissions on his collections of collateral Inheritance tax Tho court upheld the contention of tho defenso that the law which Increased Sheehan's salary but took his fees away Is Invalid, but that by accepting tho in crease he may be bound thereby. Tho question Is for a July to decide, the opin ion stated. EXPELLED TRAINMAN SUES Jersey Engineers' Division Cited to Show Cause TRUNTON. May 11.
