P1erpont 1dorSan's Line Not So Impos-
ing As Reported.
The Leyland line of ocean steamers
by ]. Pierpont Morgan for an Amer
lean syndicate is not of oyershadowlng
Importance in the ocean trade, as
many writer's have sought to convey
of late. AS compared with other lines
the steamers are not imposing, while
the carrying capacity of the line ranks
but seventh. The Hamburg-American
line stands first with 202 vessels, hav-
ing tonnage of 541,0S3- Three Brit
ish lines, French, an Italian and a
German line. in addition to that al
ready mentioned have more ships and
greater tonnage than the Leyland.
OF the twelve fleets that practically
monopolize the ocean traffic seven fly
the English flag. 1t is said that OF
the 400-odd steamships of more than
5000 tons burden in existence, more
than 80 are under the British flag. OF
these eighteen are in the Leyland fleet,
which Mr. Morgan is to control. Should
he also get possession of the Atlantic
Transport company's fleet the number
would be increased by several first
class ships, two o: which-the Mime
haha and the Minneapolis-are listed
among the halt-dozen biggest ships
in the world The gross tonnage of
the seventeen ships owned by the At
lantic Transport company is 80, 741.
Six ships, including two of 13,401 tons
each, now building. will add $4,000
tons to the total capacity of this fleet.
One is surprised to find that only three
of the big transatlantic passenger
carrying lines are in the list of big
fleets. 1t will be observed that the
White Star lines fleet in proportion
to it's tonnage is small in numbers.
Eleven of it's twenty-four steamers
have capacities of above 10000 tons.
1t owns the oceanic, the biggest steam
ship in the world, and is building the
Celtic. launched a few days ago, which
will have a gross tonnage more than
5000 tons greater than that of the
Oceanic. Steamship men say that a
Dig steamship is much more profitable
than a small one to operate, as it can
be handled by crew much smaller in
proportion to its size.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burr Hamilton, said
to be the last member of the seventh
generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn, last week,
at the age of ninety, was the fifth
cousin of Aaron Burr, third vice-presii-
dent of the United States, who killed
Alexander Hamilton, the lawyer and
statesman, in a duel in 1904. Her death
recalls the fact that, though the famil-
les of Burr and Hamilton were the
most bitter enemies at the beginning
of the last century, love found a way
thirty-two years after the famous duel
to bring the families together again by
the marriage of Elizabeth Burr and
Alexander Hamilton in 1886.

There is sometimes wide interval
between the conception of a mechani-
cal continuance and its practical &C
complishment. The flying machine,
fresh experiments with which are con-
stantly reported, is an example of de-
lay in invention. A few years after
the landing of the Pilgrims. DIR. John
Wilkins. who afterward married a sis
ter of oliver Cromwell, published a
work in which he said it was possible
to make a flying chariot, in which a
man may sit, and give such motion
unto it as shall convey him through
the air And this. perhaps might be
made large enough to carry divers men
at the same time. together with food
for their viaticum. and commodities
for traffic" The suggestion of trade
side to air travel points to the remote
possibility of flying machine combi-

America still has some things to
learn from older countries, particularly
in the way of economy. New York
City pays about five hundred thousand
dollars a year for the disposition of its
garbage, while many English cities, by
burning their waste matter in special
furnaces, not only destroy it in the
most effective way, but make a profit
from it. Being dried out. it becomes
fuel, and the heat which it generates
is used to furnish steam for pumping
water. operating city electric lighting
plants, and grinding up such portions
of the refuse as are capable of CONVEX
sion into cement, tiles and paving
blocks. This plan is in use in seventy
or eighty of the smaller cities of Eng
and. and a million dollar plant is in
process of erection in London.

So Paterson Boy Game Here and
Landed in Jail.

Sixteen-year-old Thomas Jackson left
his home in Paterson few days ago to
come on here, where the field for such
talents as he was possessed of offered
more opportunity for a glorious career.
On his way he met another adventurous
boy from Paterson, who joined him at
Rutherford. The two pooled issues and
completed the journey together. Jackson
says he does not know the other boy,

nized their ability, and yesterday after
noon they found themselves high and dry

Something must be done and that soon.
This determination was reached as the
two stood at the corner of Erie and Bay
streets, in front of the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company. Butch
informed Jackson that he had an idea and
told Jackson to wait for him. Then he
walked into an unused entrance to the
building, which was open. and softly crept
upstairs to see if there was anything of
value handy. Jackson became impatient,
he says, and followed his companion. He
however, made some noise and he was
met on the stairway by Butch" who
looked very pale, and sighed with relief
as he said to Jackson
II thought you were some one after
me-"
Jackson is authority for this statement
Then Jackson was told to wait in a room
for Butch.
After he had waited a few minutes Emil
Dam, an employe of the company, came in
and asked what he was doing there. Jack

BOY CALLED K|DNAPPER.
Father Says Missing Sons
Companion Can Give
Clue.

Sixteen-year-old Richard Detmas, of No.
63 Third street, was arraigned in the Ho-
boken Recorders court today charged
of William Kampen, of No. 1872 River
street.
Detmas was arrested by Detectives Fall
lon and Weinthal last evening on COM
plant of the father, who charged that
Detmas' had offered to return his son to
him for $40. The youth has been missing
from home.
The idea of one sixteen-year-old boy
kidnapping another of the same age is
ridiculous said Recorder Stanton. .'The
charge entered against the prisoner is not
justified by the evidence heard today. 1
shall hold the prisoner to give the de-
teotives a further chance to justify his
arrest, but 1 do not believe him to be in
any way responsible for the disappear
ance of young Kampen."
Detmas's story was that he left home
with Kampen and went to New York.
They spent tire days together and men,
Detmas said, they separated in Battery
Park. He has not seen Kempen since, he
says.
Inc Idtner suspicion OF the prisoner
was aroused by a friend, franklin
Schmidt, who told him thatDetmas was
boasting that he could tel where the
missing boy was.
Schmidt's testimony was to the effect
that he had heard the boy boasting and
that he went up to him and offered him

pen was:-

There was no other evidence against
