Many traffic men believe that what will
amount to a great railway pool is coming
slowly but surely. They point TO every re-
cent change in trunk-line affairs indi-
eating that there Is good and sufficient
ground for their belief If real pool is to
come the federal government will have to
materially change the present law. which
would not tolerate mild a form of pool
ing as the Joint Traffic Association, the
removing of the last vestige of which Is
soon to be arranged at a meeting to be
held at the old Joint Traffic Association
headquarters In New York. However,
there is nothing now TO prevent limited
number of the present railroad magnates
from going ahead I'm their evident pro-
gramme of interchanging stock holdings
in the great trunk lines so that all are
TO be operated tremendously. When this
harmony Is worked down to something
tangible, these traffic men say, there will
be clearing houses to conduct the traffic
departments of the great trunk lines, and
the remaining independent lines Will be
forced 10 submission.

THE SUIT Is DISMISSED.
East Michigan-Street People Are Sat-
isned-Other Court Cases.

A suit in the Circuit Court. involving an
improvement resolution adopted by the
Board of Public Works more than a year
ago, was dismissed yesterday. The board
ordered sewer constructed in East Michi-
gan street and it was to extend outside the
city limits. The action was taken under a
statute that would require the people liv-
ing outside the city to assist in paying for
the sewer. Some Of the people affected
joined in suit to prevent the city from
going on with the Improvement. The city
did not proceed with the work. but some
time ago the Board of Works adopted an
other resolution providing for the con-
struction of an East Michigan-street sew
err under a different statute. People outside
the city will not have to help pay for 1t
and they have dismissed the action relat-
ing to the other sewer.

An Incident Recalled.

When the second days shooting at the

not killed. Horace Comstock told an in
teresting story Of case Of hard luck
which he experienced about twenty years
ago, while participating in a tournament

Some time ago James T. johnson re-
signed as guardian of Charles McCutcheon.
The resignation was offered on the sugges-
ton Of Probate Commissioner Walker. who
learned from Johnson that he was about
$1,000 short in his account with his ward.
The Union Trust Company was appointed
to take Johnson's place and was Instructed
to bring a suit against him on his bond.
Yesterday the matter was settled and the
suit will not be brought. Johnson's wife
paid about H.lO0 into court, which makes

marines. making. a grand total Of 7O3.
Both officers and crew will have wash
rooms. bathrooms and other similar con-
veniences such as will place the comfort
and healthfnlness of these vessels very
nigh In the scale.
The applications of electricity on board
are very much wider than in the case OF
any other battleships In existence, with
the possible exception OF the Kearsarge
and Kentucky. All OF the turrets have
electrical turning gear, and the ammuni-
general ventilation, the general workshop.
and practically all of the auxiiaries out
side OF the engineers department and ex-
cepting capstan and steering gear, are to
be electrically driven.
To provide for the power required for
these purposes there will be installed in
the three ships nine superimposed turrets
eight engines and dynamos. mounted on
combination bed plates, two having q
rated output OF ESQ amperes at eighty
volts, and six with SIS amperes at eighty
volts. The two ships with the s-inch gums
In quadrilateral arrangement will be pro-
vided with ten engines and dynamos
mounted on combination bed plates; two
with a rated output OF 1850 amperes at
eighty volts. and eight with 625 amperes at
eighty volts.

spirited bidding upon these vessels. and
