wHITESIDE TRIAL POSTPONED.
Must Answer Bribery Charges at the Next
Term Of Court.


Kalispell, Mont, April 2O.-The at
torneys for Whiteside have scored a
victory in the trial now pending be-
fore the district court in this county.
At the calling Of the case this after
noon the attorneys for the defense
asked leave of the court to withdraw
a motion they made yesterday, OBJ
jecting to attorneys other than the
county attorney trying the case for
the state. 1t was withdrawn with
out prejudice with the privilege to
renew it again ii they think proper.
This was granted. The court was
then asked by the states attorneys
to set the case for trial and at least
within n week. The court said that
as the issues in this case were only
completed last night he did not feel
disposed to force the defense to trial
without giving them time for prepa-
ration, and that as many OF their wit
nesses are not in the city, that it
would be impossible for him to set
the Ease before three weeks. He also
said that he was not inclined to send
the jury to their homes and then re-
call them in three weeks Mt the ex-
pense Of the county to try this one
case. He said he was disposed to let
the case go over to the June term.
Then the state asked that he set a
day certain for the trial OF the case
at that term. This was refused, as
he did not know that he could be
here on a certain day in that term,
and also that other cases might be
for trial on the day he might set.

A Man Arrested on Suspicion o

Guilt.
Yesterday afternoon officer Jesse
Diggs. while on duty in Gosport, dis
covered driver at work off the buoy
D whart sending up pig lead. He at
once reported the matter to Chief of
Poilce lyman, who set his men to work
on the case. The officers. after several
hours work. discovered the fact that
on last Friday night four men went
to Peter Howard's boat house and
hired boat for S1.50 and proceeded to
go up the river towards the navy yard,
and they stopped at dry docks wharf
and proceeded to fill the boat with pig
lead, and succeeded in securing TWEEN
ty-eight pigs" of lead. weighing
eighty pounds each-in all 2,240 pounds.
They then started towards Portsmouth
with their booty, and when off the
buoy wharf swell from a passing tug
swamped the boat. and it's contents
went to the bottom. The men swan
to the shore ut the foot of First street.
Yesterday, as stated above, diver
was discovered searching for the metal
and after procuring 1t all carried it TO
Stewards boat house. where the Off
GERS discovered 1t last night.
|. The information that the stolen
metal belonged to the Government was
first received by Officer Broughton.
Captain "Ad" Meads, who is quar-
terman in the navy yard. was asked
by officer Broughton, who was on duty
at the navy-yard gate. If he knew OF
any lead that was missing from the
yard. Capt. Meads said that yesterday
he had occasion to use this metal. and
when he went after 1t discovered that
it had Disappeared. but thought 1t had
been carried to the foundry.
The case was successfully managed
by the following officers: Broughton,

STEAMSHIP ia LORRAINE"
INSPECTED BY REPRESENTATIVE
OF VIRGINIAN-PILOT

New York. Aug. 29-The steamship
La Lorraine of the French Line.
arrived in the port of New York last
week on her maiden trip. Members
of the press, including the represent
were invited to lunch last Wednesday
that they might inspect the ship. The
appointments are superb and the ac-
commodations for the comfort of the
passengers are not surpassed by the
ships of any other line.
Aft"r the lunch had been served, in
response to demands. Mr.. Cauchois
made the following short address;
II am very sorry that, owing to the
government inspectors work in looking
over the ship. we could not have in
vited much larger number than are
here. There was an Impression that
La Lorraine was going to be record
breaker. That was not the intention of
the company. To make twenty three
and twenty four knots vessels must
have hulls long enough to contain
gigantic engines. The harbor of EIavre
vii. not allow ships to turn In 1t that
are much more than two hundred
metres. owing to the small size of the
basin. When the harbor Is larger the
line will probably build longer vessels.
The company builds It's own ships. 1t
is especially proud of its new vessel.
She was designed by the conipany's
designer. aud, although she will not
equal the fastest ships. 1t Is wonderful
how much speed she can make without
consuming great quantities of coal.
This is due, we think. to the excellence
of her lines. Her postal contract called
for twenty two knots an hour. On her
builders trial she made 211a knots. and
on voyage she can easily average 20ia
knots
When Mr.. Cauchois had finished
speaking the company. standing, drank
to the success of the line and the
health of Captain Poirot, the com
mander of the new ship.

A MONSTER DRY-DocK.
That Building at SparrowTs Point is
the Worlds Largest.


The mammoth dry-doclS now being
constructed for the navy, 1T is expected
will be assembled at the Algiers (La.)
Naval Station early this winter. 1t is
being constructed at Sparrow's Point
Md. and, according to reports received,
it will soon be ready for use.
This is the largest dock ever built
anywhere. The biggest warship ever
launched can be readily picked up by
it. The capacity of this structure is
$4,000 tons, which is about 1000 tons
more than the heaviest battleship in
our navy. Clark & Stanfield, it's de-
signers, have Just designed n dock OF
the same type for the British Ad-
miralty. Its capacity is but 1900 tons.
Owing to the fact that the Navy De
partment insisted on having the side
walls of the floating dock several feet
higher than was originally intended.
the extra 1000 tons capacity was OBJ
tanned. The dock is being constructed
in sections, and will consist mainly of
pontoons. Three pontoons will com
pose the floor and two more will form
the side walls. The length of the
structure when put together will be 525
feet. with u breadth of 100 feet be-
tween the side walls. A ship drawing
twenty eight feet can easily be taken
out of the water, and at n pinch the
dock can accommodate vessel draw
ing thirty feet.
Preparations are now being made Mt
Algiers for the installation of the dock.
The dock will be entirely independent
of any shore attachments or equip
ments. 1t will carry It's own pumping,
elevating and other machinery, and
can be moved about from place to place
at Will. In case of emergency 1t can
be towed to Havana, Key West or to
any other point desired.
