PROGRESS PLEASEs DESIGNER,

Designer Crownlnshield In suffering
from a mild at,ack of the grip. so that he
has been unable to visit the Atlantic
ternoon. however, he felt that Il was nec-
essary to see what progress had been
made on the Independence and he accord
ingly took the trip across the harbor. He
expressed himself as well pleased with
the way the work is being pushed for
ward and looks for an early launching.
Hs found about 40 of the ls bronze
plates in their proper positions and all
but a half-dozen Of the deck beams bolted
up TO the heads OF the frames ready for
riveting. With almost a third of the out
side skin on and the rivets going in very
rapidly. Mr.. Crowinshield said things
looked very satisfactory.
The workmen began slowing the pigs of
lead IN the hollow nm yesterday after
noon. During the morning the trough
was filled up TO the level OF the cardboard
strake with fresh water for the purpose
OF ascertaining II there were any leaks.
The water was allowed 20 stand during
the noon hour and when the men came
back 10 work there was not the slightest
sign of any having come through at the
plate seams or at the bottom where the
strake II rivetej to the bronze keel-piece.
What lead was slowed yesterday after
noon was put into the four forward pock-
cts IN the keel az made by the floor
plates. The pigs were fitted as closely as
possible and small junks OF metal were
used TO Jam into the widest crevices. Fine
shot will be sifted through the smaller
openings TO make the ballast immovable.
Crowninshield says that when the work
progresses far enough more men will be
added TO the working force. A plate was
put in position away forward on the star
board side and another well aft on the
overhang.
Separate gangs of men went to work
on these plates and will push the plating
out both ways on these strakes, while the
other hands continue the plating Of the
waist section OF the craft.
There Is no truth In the report sent
out from Ogdensburg that the Spslding
st. Lawrence Boat Co. is TO construct
some OF the small hollow spars for the
Independence. Every wooden gan and
topmast 10 be used on the Boston boat
will be made by Lawley at South Boston.
Crownirshield says he received a letter
from the Ogdensburg concern, stating
that they were building some hollow
spruce sticks for the Bristol boat. Law
lev expects the steel for the mast every
day and with the work on the boat going
forward so rapidly he would like TO begin
building the mast at once. The two rud
der castings will be brought TO the Allan
tic Works this morning.

the town and George II. Norman and ex-
planned various points. after which the
meeting was thrown open for questions
on the subject. A wide range of questions
were directed at the committee some OF
which were answered. The COMMITTEES
were non-committal on the advisability
of purchasing the plant. No one present
advocated the purchasing of the works
and the electors seemed unable TO grasp
the situation. The question is To be voted
upon at the financial town meeting Sat-
urday. A large number OF ladies were

A LEGAL OPINION.

As result OF the statement made by
John G. Johnson OF Philadelphia. holding
the renewal clause in the National league
players contract to be perfectly valid and
binding. Vice President Somers OF the
American league yesterday requested an
opinion from Charles Higley. the legal
representative OF that organization at
Cleveland.
Mr. Hisley says In his opinion that he
regards the publication in its present
form OF Johnson's opinion upon the con-
tact OF the form used In previous years
as an indirect statement from high au-
thorlty that an injunction will not lie
against National league player refus-
ing TO carry out the terms OF the option
clause.
The legality OF the contract has never
been questioned. he continues, but n con-
tract must be something more than ''le-
gall IL must .,e Just in all its parts. and
not hold one side with rod OF iron while
the other Is free To relieve himself OF his
burdens al will.
In conclusion Mr.. Iiigley says: ''Will
the National agreement. with It's reserve
rule. limiting of salary and regulations
that make OF the player a human chat
tel. receive tho sanction OF a court of
equity? Mr.. Rogers failure 10 secure
from Mr.. Johnson an opinion upon the
propositions thst he must know will be
the overshadowing issues i'm the litigation
nc contemplates. may he taken as corr
fcssiou that he could not get such an
opinion ~ he wanted.
The chanccs are very remote that an
Injunction VIA be granted in the case of
any of the Nationsl league players who
have thus far signed TO play with tho

Supreme Court Adjourned.

The Supreme Court has adjourn
ed and will not meet again until
September. The members have all
gone home The matter OF clerk
for the court was not acted on at
the present term and this bears out
the statement made by this paper
sometime ago that there would be
no election for a year at least. Those
who are candidates for the place will
have to be content to wait for a
while before their wishes are either
gratified or rejected by the perma-
nent selection of some man for clerk.
1t may be possible that the present
incumbent will be left undisturbed
as he is IA very efficient man and the
court is averse to making any change
unless absolutely imperative.

Sensible Summer Uniform

Following the lead OF the War De
partment the Postoffice Department
has authorized warm weather uni
form for carriers that will secure some
measure Of comfort. This movement
is wise and humane. The open coat
and vestless costume affected by gen
tlemen at the seashore would be more
comfortable quiet and as natty appear
ing, and would increase the efficiency
OF the men in the performance Of their
tasks.
Its not possible that men suffering
from severe phyical distress should be
as alert or as capable for their duties
as men who are dressed TO suit the
weather. In most ayocations men
dress pretty much as they please.
Those who come in contact with
the public in the discharge OF their
duties, however, must have respect for
the proprieties. They are uniformed
to denote they are at the public SER
vice. But the public will be better
served if the uniforms are designed TO
take into account the fact that their
wearers are human and subject to
climatic changes as other people are.
