BICYCLE GRIPS.
The Habit Of Holding the Handle Bar ss
the Center.

The Habit OF Holding the Handle Bar as
the Center.
Assume. if you please, that the grips
are properly placed at the ends of the
handle bar, from IL to Is inches apart,
and that the proper place for the riders
hands is on the grips. The fact remains
that the average rider seldom touches
his grips in riding, but grips the naked
bar on either side OF and close TO the
top OF the steering head. Are we to in
fer from this that the standard of handle
bar construction is all wrong and that
the grips should be Mt the top Of the
bar AID not more than eight inches
apart, or that the bar should be left
long TO meet the exigencies of rough
riding, while the material of which the
grips are made should cover the entire
bar up to within an inch or two of the
center, or that it would be well to have
a pair of supplementary grips at the
place indicated by the position assumed
by the rider, or what?
Undoubtedly the present standard
handle bar is correct. The average
rider, for ole thing, has his grips drop
ped so low that he cannot reach them
conveniently, so that his easiest position
is with his hands on the top of the bar.
and again many riders, with level or up
turned lars, who are able to reach their
grips comfortably, have acquired the
habit of grasping the nickel in defer
ence to the popular idea. We think that
every rider is obliged at times to use
his grips. Full handle bar leverage is
necessary whenever steering is rendered
difficult by rough surface or otherwise.
At such times every rider finds that the
standard bar comes in handy. Supple
mentary grips would detract measure
bly, from the trim appearance of the
handle bar, and it may be doubted
whether cyclists as class would toler-
ate them. A bar entirely covered with
cork or other grip material would speed
lily become soiled and make q sorry
looking object in comparison with the
bright nickeled bar-American Cyclist

THE HUDELsoN DIVORCE
The Complainant's Witnesses Rap
idly Dying Off

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-Judge
Ellsworth this morning made an order
extending the time to April 25th, in which
the Rev. Benjamin D. Hudelson, late
state president of the American Protec-
tive association, may file his answer to
the charges in the complaint of Mrs
Millie Hudelson for divorce. A number
of depositions taken in Modesto have
yet TO be presented. Three of Mrs Hud
elson's witnesses summoned from Mo-
desto to give evidence in her behalf died
suddenly while either in attendance as
witnesses or on their way to testify.
The first one to pass away was Mrs.
Mary Medley. She spent one Saturday
afternoon in lawyers Office, giving her
sworn testimony Is to what she knew of
the relations existing between Mr. and
Mrs Hudelson. That night she died.
A few days later Joseph NJ. Choate, who
lived some distance from the town, was
waited upon by a deputy sheriff and
summoned to appear in court, SO that
his deposition might be taken for use in
the divorce trial. He accompanied the
deputy in a buggy. In few minutes
on the drive to Modesto, Choate was
stricken with apoplexy and conveyed a
corpse into the town.
Peter Lasher. saloon keeper, was an
other witness Mrs. Hudelson wished call
ed. AS an officer entered his place with
a subpoena the saloon keeper fell dead
from heart disease.

The Oregon grounded sunday AFTER
noon in the dredged channel, while
awaiting entrance to the dock. Tne tue
was going out and the hull OF the vessei
under the forward turrets was felt sell

ing to the tide gauge there should nave

meath the Oregon's keel. Soundings
taken on all sides of the vessel confirmed
this. No effort was made TO draw the
vessel back as it was felt tearing OF the
bottom plates would result, while in set
tling the only damage would be in bend
ing of the frames. When the tide came
up again about o'clock the Oregon lifted
and shortly before midnight was fioated
into the dock without any further IN
cident. Captain Barker OF the Oregon,
Commander White, commandant OF the
station, constructors in charge OF the
docking operation, unite In saying no
serious injury had esulted from the
grounding. A diver was at work today
inside the dock, trying to find out the
extent of the damage to the Oregon's S
hull He reported that the frames and
bottom plates near the forward turret
were bent, but no rivets were loosened.
Another diver was at work in the
dredged channel. He discovered bank
of black hardpan. but has not determin-
ed its extent. 1t is considered possible
that this bank was overlooked by the
contractors in charge of the dredging

If repairs are made while the Oregon
is in dock, mechanics will have to be
brought from Mare island.
The estimated cost of the repairs can
not be learned, as the water will not all
be pumped out of the dock until tomor-

THE COLOR LINE
Shattuck of Ohio Nominates Negro
Cadet

WASHINGTON. April 14.-Congress-
man Shattuck Of Ohio yesterday nomi-
mated D. ]. Bandy, a colored lad of Gin
cinnati to a cadetship at Annapolis. He
has been urged to withdraw the name,
but says he win stand by the appoint
ment. There has been some murmur Of
disappointment from the naval academy
and threats of students to resign.
THE boy earned the appointment
fairly" said General Shattuck today.
There was a competitive examination
and two colored lads, one of them Ban
dy, outstripped their Caucasian compet-
itore. One of them, however, proved to
be over 20 and was therefore disbarred.
I had told them that the competition was
open to every eligible boy in my district.
Bandy, who won, is one Of the hand
soonest boys l ever saw. Yesterday l
sent his name to the secretary of the
navy and he will be appointed. 1 have
received no communications from the
students at Annapolis, but several con-
gresham have told me that it was an
unwritten law not to allow a colored boy
at Annapolis They told me IL l
persisted, it would break up the school !;
that other students would resign.
"'Let them resign and be damned l
replied. That boy earned his appoint
ment fairly and I'm going to see that he
goes to Annapolis and receives fair treat
ment IL it is in my power to do So"
General Shattuck Gays If the lad Is will
ling to subject himself to the humlia
tion he will naturally encounter at Aa-
napols owing to his color, he (Shattuck)
will see him through. General Shattuck
says he has been informed that no col
ored boy ever took degree at the naval
academy. General Shattuck has $4,000
negroes in his district.

Government by injunction

CLEVELAND, Ohio. April 14.-Chief
p. NJ. Arthur of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, gave his opinion to-
day on the injunction granted by the
federal court in the consolidated steel
and wire strike. He said: 1T is neces-
sary for the men to obey the courts in
juction. The Brotherhood of Engineers
has been all through the injunction mill,
and has a case now pending in the Unit
ed States supreme court which will de-
termine the validity of that style of
government. In my opinion the injunc-
tion has gone to lengths which are not
permissible in a court of equity. No
tribunal can stop men from holding con-
versations with one another, provided
no intimidation is used. Every court
since this was a government has recog-
nized the right of every citizen to use
the right of moral suasion. I am of the
opinion that an injunction will not
stand"
