The claims for economy Of operation
are based on the fact that there is no
dead center, as in the reciprocating en-
CINE, also larger expansion of steam
and less friction, owing to the smaller
number of working prats. In saving of
dead weight, it is estimated that an
engine of the old type weighing 800
tons can be replaced by the rotary en-
gine weighing 60 tons Simplicity in

ton division has a membership OF
about twenty-five. They have lately
been given the use of the 'tSirene'' by

ty. 1t is understood that about fifteen
Of the members have already signifed
their intention of taking the trip.
Junior Ensign l. L. Jones said yes
terday that he felt confident that the
division would accept the Invitation,

Could would undoubtedly go on the oc-
casion.
He also stated that the Virginia di-
vision of naval reserves had been as
signed a position in the magnificent pa
rade which would take place in the me-
tropolis on this occasion, and that it
was THE desire of the Norfolk division
to carry as many of the members with
them as was possible under these cir
cumstances. Their place in the parade

the matter in charge have assured
Commander Cake, of Norfolk, that it
Will be a prominent one.
The Norfolk division has also sent

MIR. Lyons was sworn and testified
that if any dntoxicant drinks had been
sold at his place on Sunday it was
without his knowledge or approval. He
said that he had given his bartender
strict orders not to sell on Sundays
He had never seen Mr.. Jones at the
Point of Pines on a Sunday
When Mr.. Lyons concluded his testi-
mony MIR. Collier announced that he
was ready to go into the argument Of
the case
COLONEL BAKER SPEAKS
Nolonels Baker opened the argument
IN speech of five minutes, in (which
ne claimed that the prosecution had
proved its charges and asked that the
justice impose the fine as required by
law. - 5
COLLIER SCORES MACKATY.
;A1r. Fay S. Collier, attorney for Mr..
Lyons, followed Mr. Baker in a speech
Of more than twenty minutes duration.
He was very severe in his remarks
regarding those who had brought the
charges aainst his client, and claimed
that they had utterly failed ITO prove
them. He c.assed the young men who
had acted as Mr.. 'MacKay's spies, as
being liars, living a life of lies" but,
said he, they were no worse liars than
the one who prompted them to do his
dirty bidlings.''
In his opinion, MIR. Collier said, the
man who went about and hired spies
to do his dirty work, would stick a
Knife in the back of his friend MI.

Colonel Baker closed the argument
in very forceful talk. and said he was
sure that Mr.. Golfers reference to
those who Were prosecuting Mr.. Lyons
did not refer to him. He answered Mr..
Golfers claim regarding the proof OF
MI Lyons guilt in very able way,
but did not undertake to defend Rev.
Mr.. Mackay at all. Colonel Baker
closed with strong appeal to the justice
TO carry out the law regarding the sale
Of liquor on the charges in question.
FINED $500.
When the argument was concluded
MIR. Richardson announced that in his
opinion Mr.. Lyons had disobeyed the
law, and stated that he would fine him
$50 for selling liquor on Sunday; $50 for
selling to minors; 500 for selling liquor
without license, and $50 i'm each
charge OF keeping his bar open on
Sunday, making in all $500.
