THE FASTEST AFLOAT
On Trial Trip Battleship Illinois
Breaks All Records In
Her Class.

Boston, June 12.-With the proud
distinction of being the fastest battle
ship in America and the speediest of
her class in the world, the sea fight
err Illinois lies at anchor in Presidents
roads tonight after a most successful
trial. Over the government course
from Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise and
return, a distance of 66 nautical miles
she raced today under the watchful
eyes of United States naval represen-
tatives and established a new record
by maintaining an average speed of
1871 knots for four consecutive hours.
Not only did she demonstrate that
h was faster than any warship of
her size afoat but she proved her abil-
lty to turn upon an enemy with ex-
~traordinary quickness by describing
a complete circle within 800 yarus
or a little more than twice her length,
in three minutes and ten seconds,
while ploughing through the sea at
full speed.
Steadiness and reserve power char
acterized the performance of the ship
uOuI Iu0 SEVERE CSSC. Inc
work of her engines was smooth and
even and the records of the day
showed but one-tenth of a knot diff
ference in the speed between the
northern run and the return. The
machinery easily met every require
ment and not an accident of any kind
marred the success of the day. Rear
Admiral Sampson. who was aboard
unoficially, and Rear Admiral Evans,
who acted as president of the trial
board, as well as the other naval Off
GERS who participated in the trial,
were thoroughly pleased with the new
and as she steamed back
to her anchorage with a new broom at
her masthead, the officials of the New
port News Shipbuilding company,
whose three years of labor had
reached such a happy climax, were
enthusiastically congratulated.

Moore Flagler's days. of penance are
over. At IL o'clock this morning at
st. Margaret's church in this city she

demands of justice, she went to Cape
Breton and determined to expatiate

ARE STILL BARRED
Modern Woodmen Decline to Ad-
init Large Cities Into
Jurisdiction.

st. Paul, June 12.-The election of
officers and a %protracted contest over
the admission of cities of over 200, 900
to the jurisdiction of the order filled
the business day for the Modern
Woodmen Of America today.
The proposition to take city mem
bers into the order came up on the
report from the law committee. An
amendment was proposed to this re-
port to dispense with the present linn
it, which keeps cities of over 200, 900
from Joining the order, Chicago, st.
Louis, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Detroit,
Cleveland, San Francisco, Cincinnati,
Philadelphia and P%ittsburg being
named in several motions and were
then taken up one at a time and vot-
ed on. On Chicago the vote was 26O
to 1923 and the others we're more
quickly disposed of, all being voted
down. This leaves paragraph 4 of
the law committees report with the
single recommendation that Utah be
added to the jurisdiction of the order
and this amendment will doubtless be
carried Friday.
The action taken this afternoon is
considered as settling for some years
to come the membership limitations of
the Modern Woodmen.
Head Consul Northcott, Head Clerk
Halves and Head Advisor Horne were
reelected. Northcott then stated that
after the end of the new term he
would not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. R. R. Smith of Brookfield, Mo-,
was elected head banker. Physicians
were elected as follows: DIR. H. L. Sif-
ton of jamestown, for North Dakota
and DIR. S. E. Leard for Montana. Ben
Smith, Minnesota; Reece, Illinois;
Murphy, Kansas; Reilly, Illinois and

EXPERTS TESTIMONY RELA-
TIVE TO IRRIGATION.
NOT A SECTIONAL QUESTION
Prof. Meade Makes Some Highly
Interesting Statements Before
Industrial Commission.

Washington, June 12.-Professor
Meade, the agricultural departments
irrigation expert, continued his tes-
timony before the Industrial commits
sion today. He said that irrigation is
necessary in two-fifths Of the area of
the United States to make farming
profitable. To those inclined to con-
slider it a sectional question, he would
say that irrigation within the past
few years had redeemed an area in
Louisiana and lexa larger than some
New Engnad states, causing an in
crease in the value of the land from
IS, to $50 to 500 an acre. He also
said that irrigation is coming to be
considered a necessary adjunct to
market gardening all along the At
lantic coast.
He estimated that there are not few
err than $4,000 irrigation bitches in the
United States costing a total of not
less than 5000, 0UO, 900 and possibly
much more. He advocated govern
ment aid under certain restrictions in
retaining some sections of the coun-
try by irrigation.
In the afternoon Thomas Turnbull,
representing the San Francisco cham
Der of commerce, testified concern
ing labor conditions in California. He
said that generally speaking, skilled
labor receives better wages in Cali
fornia than in eastern states, while
there is no similar difference in the
wages of unskilled labor. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the cheapness
of Chinese labor is due almost entire
ly to the i%neficiency of the Chinese
as laborers. Speaking of the Chinese,
he said the sentiment in California
was generally favorable to their pro-
scription. as they were not desirable
acquisitions from any point of view.

Heavy Losses Force Retirement of
Pacific Insurance Company.

New York. June 12.-As a result of
losses sustained in the Jacksonville
flre, the Pacific Insurance company of
New York has retired from active
business. The company's claims, be-
cause of the Florida fire aggregated
$4,000. Its risks have been rein
sured with the West Chester Fire In
surance company of New York.
The Pacific ranked high among the
smaller underwriting concerns. The
Jacksonville losses did not cripple the
con pany, for it had a surplus beyond
all claims, but it reduced it's margin
above it's capital to such an extent
that the directors decided to with
draw from the field. The company
had more than $6,OO0,O 900 of insurance
in force.
