secretary Herbert Explains the De-
fects In the Battleship.

Secretary Herbert yesterday afternoon
the defects III the Maine:
The Maine was designed TO he on an
even keel at her draught OF q feet 6 inches
With 400 tons OF coal on board. She has
now been fully loaded with over 300 tons
OF coal aud her draught forward is 2 feet
. inches greater than aft
This Is not unyommon. Many other
ships when fully loaded are down by the
head more or less When the ship has
been at sea for few days this will be
corrected in great part at least by using
the forward part of the vessel. II would,
OF course, be preferable that the vessel
should not be down by the head quite so
much, as she is, but this will be corrected
by the use of the after trimming tank, pro-
vided for THIS purpose, and by some shifting
of stores TO the after store rooms not now
used. 1t perhaps may be also necessary
to add Some permanent ballast.
AS to the listing OF the Maine to star
board, this Is not a matter OF Importance.
II can be easily corrected by adjustment Of
weights In loading. The Atlanta and
Boston have both proved 20 be very ser
viceable ships, but in each of these there
is a list nearly double that OF the Ma ine and
this is also corrected by leading. These
vessels both list when unloaded, about
seven degrees. or nearly double the list of
the Maine. The old frigate. United States,
which was a splendid vessel in her day.
was required to be trimmed twenty eight
inches by her head TO get her full speed

FILL OF DANGER.

There appears TO be consensus of
opinion among the witnesses of the electric
car and hose carriage accident on Ninth
street Sunday evening, that the motorman
alone was to blame for the collision, which
might have had SO much more serious re-
suits. 1t is supposed that IL he be
shown to have been criminally negligent
proper punishment will be visited upon bin.
But back of it all lies a matter which con-
Germs the public even more than what has
taken place.
The Times has heretofore called atten-
tion to the dangerous speed with which the
cars on the Ninth street line are run and
the accident hereinbefore referred to fur
nishes proof that there was ample cause for
the protest. So great was the speed of
the car that the horses of the hose carriage
were dragged for a distance and the car
could not be stopped until H street had al
most been reached. If that train had
been run at a proper rate of speed its
impetus could have been checked much
more readily. Desirable though rapid
transit may be it were far better to dis
pense with it than put the lives and limbs

MORE PoLICEMEN NEEDED.

One of the most important items in the
estimates TO be submitted TO Congress by
the Commissioners, is that which provides
for an increase OF the police force. The
Commissioners ask for an addition Of fz5
privates and one lieutenant, besides three
drivers, their intention being evidently to
establish another precinct. In view of
the urgent necessities of the case, their
demand is very moderate.
In proportion to the area of territory to
be covered, washington's police force is
smaller than that of any other city of
like population. With the utmost zeal and
activity on the part of officers and
patrolmen, it is simply physical inpOs-
sibility to guard as effectively rs shoHld
be the important interests committed to
their care. There has been unfortunately
ample evidence OF this within the
last few months. Burglaries, highway
robberies, and violations of the law of
various kinds have multiplied to an alarm
ing extent, and the utmost vigilance of-the
force has been unable TO prevent this. The
people Of the District have a right to com
plain, for the taxes the pay are more
than sufficient to give them all the police
protection they need.
Even with the increase asked. there would
be only 555 patrolrnen. Say that two thirds
of these are on duty at night, and we have
$40 men patroling an area Of about sixty
five square miles, or an average Of about
five men to a square mile. The utter in
adequacy is apparent at glance. Five
men cannot be expected to patrol effec-
lively territory extending from the
Capitol to Twelfth street and from Penn
sylvania avenue to n street. 1t is simply
absurd. But inadequate as it is, the i'm
provement over present conditions would
be so great as to make every interested
person rejoice.
There should be no hesitation on the part
Of Congress to grant the Commissioners
very reasonable request. To do less would
be almost criminal.

THE TIMES CIRCULATION.

PheromenaI Increase Leads Its Rival
to Resort to Underha nd Methods.
Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries of
distress have from time to time been
heard from the camps of it's competitors.
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtaken and distanced in the race
for popularity that undcrhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions. were called into use.
The Numerous merchants who have been
approached, and who have kindly kept The
Times Informed, afford other advertisers
the best evideuce of the strength of The
Times, and its value as an advertising
medium-a strength that cannot be shaken

the total number of copies of The Times
actually sold and Distributed during the
past week was 22s, ,4s5. showing n gain
over the preceding week Of 1929, and
5o942 more than its nearest rival These
ffgares speak for themselves and are not

RENDERING HELP.

1t was to be expected that the misfortune
which has befalleu the University of Vir-
ginia would rouse all the alumni Of that
venerable and historic institution to i'm
mediate action, with q view to its restora-
tiou SO far as this is possible. Much that
was valuable, of course, cannot be re-
placed. but at least new buildings can he
erected. and the library. chemical and
other apparatus repleuished.
The University of Virginia, less than
other institutions of the kind in the country,
was prepared for any such disaster. In
its life of four score years IL has been
rarely, and then but scantily endowed. OF
the wealthy men of the State, few haveever
done anything for the grand old school,
and no such benefits as have fallen to the
share of Harvard and Yale, have come to
the University of Virginia. Now and then
some alumuus has remembered his alma
mater In a halfhearted sort of way, but
of muuificent endowments there are none.
In spite OF sGch-for a college OF this
kind-adverse conditions the work done by
the University of Virginia ranks with the
best. Its diplomas are passports TO al
the great tuniversities OF Europe and among
its alumni are numbered many of the most
distinguished men of our country. men who
served State and people with honor and
credit The literary and scientific achieve
ments of Its professors have enriched and
enlarged the sum of human knowledge, and
the general tone of the Institution has been
of the most elevated nature. Within the
last twenty years the University of Vir-
ginia has had to encounter severe compe-
tition with richly endowed colleges, but
has held its own, though many sacrifices
were made, of which the world learned
nothing.
Such an institution honors the State
whose name it bears and it Is to he hoped
that when the Legislature meets next month
it will find it possible to do something
toward putting the school on its feet again.
Meanwhile the alumni here and elsewhere
will put their shoulders to the wheel and
use all efforts to rehabilitate their alma
mater.

people IN jeopardy every nlInnte Of The

of people In Jeopardy every minute Of the

There IL one other point that ought to
be mentioned in this connection. Motor
men on the electris cars seem to labor
under the halluciIation that they have the
unquestioned right of way IN the Streets
and. that everybody and everything that
comes in their way must incontinently get
out or take the consequences. They ought
hicles and the humble pedestrians have
some rights, which even so high and mighty
a person as the n,otorman of an electric
car should be made TO respect.
1t might not be bad idea If the Com
missloners were to investigate the matter
and, if II be in their power, frame come
regulations in respect of the same.

the contrary, Mr.. Marbury has announced
his determination to proceed at once
