SPEED OF CRUISERS.

Two Made Eighteen Knots Under Reg
ulnr Service Conditions.
In view of the assertions that have been
hates and elsewhere that the trial trips of
our naval vessels were made under such
artificial conditions favorable TO the ship
that their records could never be repea led
without special preparations, the Navy De-
partment officials are feeling much COM
of the captains of our cruisers who have
been putting their ships through their
PAGES, just to learn how much they have
deteriorated.
The San Francisco had just come out of
dock in the Mediterranean when Admiral
Seliridge ordered her to make run for a
few hours. The vessel rushed away at
eighteen knots speed and kept this up for
ten hours without d stop. making a record
of high efficiency for a ship of her class
There was no hitch or heating of journals
or other fault to be found with the ma
chinery. and while the speed average was
not as high by knot and half as that
made on the trial trip of the San Francisco
1t rs the general belief that the ten-knot
ecord under service conditions is far better
than the record made on the trial trip,
which lasted four hours
Captain Schley of the crack cruiser New
York started away from Hampton Roads
for New York The other day and giving
the signal to let out the ship she steamed
along for four hours at eighteen knots and
that without resorting to forced draught
which Is used on speed trials. In each
case the runs we're made without any ad-
dition TO the fire.

be continued until next week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ball were married in 1901.
They separated last August. and in. jan

its mother and sent 1t to relatives of his
In Virginia. Shortly afterward Mrs. Ball,
through Attorney Joseph Shillington. ap-
piled to Judge Cole for a writ of habeas
corpus. claiming that her husband de-
serted her. and also accusing him of cruel
treatment and intoKication.
Judge Cole ordered Mr.. Ball to produce
the little one in court last month, and its
mother being confined to her home by the
birth Of another child. placed the child
in controversy in the custody of its grand
father. Edward Dunn. and postponed the

ing that she had been guilty Of infidelity

the slightest improper conduct with him or
with any other man.

to the loving care and devotion of Mrs. Ball
for her child. Judge Cole intimated tn 1t
unless her husband could show that she
had lived or IS living in open adultery. and
that the child has been or will be subjected
to demoralizing influences. he would not
take the little one from her.

frankly stated that he could show neither

by declaring that he would not, therefore
disturb Mrs. Balls custody of the child
He thereupon signed an order. giving her
possession of the child. but directing that
she allow its father to see it at reasonable
times. The judge declined to decide whetf-
er the husbands charges had or had not
been sustained.
