these preliminary spins she Is exceeding
the expectations of her builders.
Friday forenoon, she was given Il triai

HYDE of the Iron Works, said, saturday:
The speed made. Friday. over the
course WAS done under natural draft and
with ordinary coal such as we use III our
furnaces. The trial was conducted under
the supervision of men who understand
such things. and in the same manner as
as timing was concerned. The boat
worked perfectly and we have no fear Of
her ability to fulfil the requirements;
Then you haven't a doubt as to her
making the contract specd?-
tNot a Bit replied Mr.. Hyde.
"Wil she exceed it?'' was asked.
Il certainly think she will. When W.
AMI forced draft she will do far better
than she has done yet. The date Of III"
official trial has not yet been settlee.
though we have requested that il take
place over the Southport course. No.
there's no bonus Tor exceeding the con-
tract requirements
"What torpedo boats in foreign navies
are faster than the Dahlgren?'' Mr.. Hyde
was asked.
'"There's Only one. | believe. which :
speedier than we are required to build
That is he Forman, which is BIS knots

At the present time the trials of the

been marked by placing range poles on
the river Lark opposite Bath.
Regarding the three torpedo boats,

band from Being Arrested.

Dover, Me-, July 9.-(SpeciaD.-An
interesting case came up before Judge
Durgin in the Dover municipal court.
Friday afternoon, with a sequel that
was surprise to most of those inter-
ested. On Friday morning Deputy
Sheriff Jas. NJ. Knowles of FOXcroft.
went to Shirley and served warrant
on Mrs. Jennie Haines. who was charg-
ed with a single sale of intoxicating
liquor. 1t is understood that Mrs
Haines boards crew of men who are
working on the railroad at that place
and that soft drinks. beer, and, ac-
cording to the story of the govern
ment witness. Lewis F. Webber, some
times sold stuff that caused some of
the men to become intoxicated.
In the court Mrs Haines pleaded not
guilty and the State being unable to
rebuff the presumption of coercion on
the part of the husband, the defendant
was discharged. Mrs. Haines' hus-
band. Charles Haines, was then. want
ed and learning that he was to pass
through here on the Bangor & AroOs-
took train from Old Town to Green
vile. the officer made arrangements to
capture him at this station. but his
plans came to naught, supposedly
through the quick wit and action of
the woman just discharged from court
The Journal reporter saw Mrs
Haines board the b. & A. down train
at the Maine Central station and as she
did not alight al the lower station in
quireS We're made and it was ascertain
ed that she had purchased a ticket for
Milo. After she left the Il. & a. sta
ton it is surmsed that she went to
Milo Junction and there met her hus-
band on the up train and warned him
of his danger of capture in time for
him to escape before arriving in Fox
croft. Anyway. it is known that he
was on the train when it left Old Town
and was not on it when it arrived in
Foxcroft. To an officer, however, Mrs
Haines denied that she had any
knowledge of her husbands presence
on the train. Up to last accounts no
clue to the missing man has been
found
