THE BROOKLYN LOOP
Commander Heilner Before the Court
of Inquiry.
His EXPERIENCE ON THE TEXAS
Official Chart Admitted to Be In
accurate.
COAL SUPPLY DISCUSSED

An Improvement has been made In the
court room In which the Schley court of
inquiry is holding It's sessions at the navy
yard. The difficulty in hearing what has
been said by the witnesses has been so
great that only those within the railing
surrounding the court and It's officers could
clearly understand the testimony at all
times. and occasionally even those within
eight or ten feet from the witness could
no. hear what has been said on the stand.
The difficulty in hearing has been regarded
as largely responsible for the falling off
IN the attendance of newspaper men on
the sessions of the court during the short
time it has been in existence. The general
public attending the sessions has been
seated back of the reservation provided for
the press. and it has not been able to hear
enough of the proceedings to gain any in
telligent idea of what has been going on.
In order to remedy this acoustic defect a
ceiling Of cotton material has been placed

HAVANA FLOATING DRY DOCK,
Will Probably Be Sent to a Naval
Station in the Philippines.


Station in the Philippines.
Present indications are that the big float
ing steel dry dock at Havana, recently
purchased by this government from Spain,
will be sent to the new Olongapo naval sta
tion in the Philippines. Secretary Long to-
day authorized the repairs recommended by
Naval Constructor Gilmour who was sent
down to Havana to prepare an estimate of
the work necessary to put the dock In per-
feet condition. Naval Constructor Giimour
placed the estimate Of cost at $6s,O0O, but
this estimate was made with the belief that
an extra dock force would have to be en-
gagged for the work. 1t Is now thought
that much of the repair work can be done
by the regular force, and the total cost Of
repairs brought considerably within the fig
ure named
The dock Is to be painted and thoroughly
cleaned. New suction pipes are to be pro-
ylded for the air pumps, SO as to insure a
freer flow of water, and the electrical ma
chinery is in need Of considerable repair.

flSDeCidl
Mogadore, Dec. 3.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that roads were, in places,
almost impossible, nearly 70 members
and friends of the Horticultural So
ciety, assembled Wednesday, at the
pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. o. w.
Scott, of Tallmadge, for the December
meeting.
After the social and dinner hour,
the meeting was called to order by
President NJ. Crawford. Mrs. G. N.

greatly enjoyed.
There were no vegetables or fruit

on the dinner table.
All missed the usual display of flow
ers, this being month when flowers
are scarce, but our hostess had many
beautiful house plants, which showed
her tender. care, and appreciation of
the beautiful.
Orchards were reported to be in
good condition to stand the severe
winter weather. A discussion pertain
ing to peach trees and that fatal dis.
ease, known us the yellows," occupied
some time. President Crawford stated
that Prof. Selby, of the Ohio Expert
mental Station, says that when tree
at this time of year, shows severa
dried peaches, it is a sure sign that Il
is affected with the disease.
A lively discussion concerning grape
culture took place. Mr.. G. E. Barnes
who is successful grape grower says
that as far as he knows the Camp
bells Early is the best black grape W,
have; it is very productive and ripens
early. There is no black or whit
grape equal to the red grapes, except
possibly, the Diamond, when properl.
grown.
This was followed by lively dis
cussion, concerning the proper train
ing of grape vines. Mr.. S. Baldwin
gave an interesting talk pertaining t.
the various insect pests to which ou
fruit and vegetables are subject.
BY request of the President. MI ]
