Specisl Dispatch to The Btar. BALTIMORE, Md., September .— Caught in the paddle wheel of the ferry steamer Governor Harrington. Arthur C. Gatch of Raspeberg was whirled twice around with the big wheel when the ferry steamer collided with & small fishing boat two miles off Annapolis, drowning one man. The other occupants of the small craft narrowly escaped death. The dead man is George R. Rittenhouse, and searchers are still dragging for the body. Besides Arthur C. Gatch, the fishing boat contained B. Wesley Gatch, his brother, who was also rescued. Arthur Gatch, bruised and shocked from his experience, spoke of it with humor today. “It was the wildest ferris wheel ride 1 ever had,” he sald. “As the boat struck there was a splintering I believe that Rittenhouse must have been killed instantly. He was it on one side and I was sitting on the other—both of us hold- ing the tiller. Rittenhouse was a good swimmer, and bad he been alive and conscious when we were thrown into the water, I think he might have saved himself. “Almost the moment 1 went over- board, I felt something strike me, pushing me down deep into the water. it was the paddiewheel. - The next minute ¥ was scooped up by the broad le and twige 1 was whirled around nside e paddle wheel box before I was finally rown again into the water. Fortunately, as I came to the surface I was clear of the wheel and managed to catch a small piece of ‘wreckage.” U. S. MUSEUM RECEIVES VERTEBRATE FOSSILS Collection Reeently Contributed by John B.

Administration leaders believe they have at last reached-an agrecrseni for recognition of the“importance of education in the federal’ scheme' of organization which may prevent the threatened rebellion of the cducation bloc against the entire reorganiza~ tion program. The plan now is te “recognise’” elucation as one of the three principal and equally important divisions in a new department, the other two divisions ‘belng welfare and Jabor. This is one of the problems which was not cleaned up in the oon- ference last week between President Harding and Walter F. Brown, his personal representative on the joint congressional reorganization com- mittee. It will be taken up by them |again in conference early this week. A tentative molution of the difficulty was reached in a conference Friday between Representative Horace M. Towner, republican, of Jowa, 4 ¢ of the education forces in the House, and Mr. Brow Eduentors W For some tim great pressure by the country to make great department. t Cabinet Member. there been the edueators of education bills have been pre, to bring bout this result. Practically all pro- vided for a large subsidy by the federal government lo the states to ussist in education. The attitude of the reorganizers and of the cabinet has been that thin seems like a very poor time (o commit the government o a policy of subsidy with the gtates for any purposes. Of cours they argued, one very good way to help reduce government expenses and machinery i8 not to create any mew ugencies. A happy solution of the difficulty caused by the educators and a large section of public opinion. which hgs been stimulated by them. is to co- ordinate education with welfare and labor in a new department. making esch of the three services major di- visions of the department and of equal rank. Provides for New Services. The two novel services created by the Sterling-Towner bill, namely, ths bureau of research and the national educational council, can be made in tegral reatures of the education di- vision ot the new department. It is believed that this may prove satisfactory to the educational group and insure their co-operation for pas- sage of tbe entire reorganization program. Members of the joint reorganization committee have been holding confer- ences with their colleagues who are recognised as spokesmen for educa- tional interests in @n effort to reach a common ground of agreement. It is believed that this has been ac- complished and that an important education divisian will be developed in the new department of welfare, labor and education.
