AVERAGED 1929 KNOTS
BUILDERS TRIAL OF THE BATTLE
SHIP MAINE SATISFACTORY.
Her Speed Greater than Called for in
the COntract-10.95 Knots Main
tanned for Thirty Minutes.

PHILADELPHIA July 1.-THE new
battleship Maine. built by the Cramps to
replace the Inflated Maine returned 10
this city tonight after a satisfactory
builders trial at sea. The new war yes
sci proved herself to be a very speedy ship
for her size, she averaging 1929 an hour
over a measured course. Her contract calls
for a speed of eighteen knots. In a pre-
liminary run late last night the Maine at
tanned a speed of 1895 knots an hour which
she maintained for a period OF thirty
minutes. Her machinery worked smoothly
and the performance of the big ship in
every other particular was satisfactory to
her builders.
The Maine left the shipyards on Tuesday
and lay at the Delaware breakwater until
Wednesday night. On board of her as guests
OF the Cramps were several government of
icials. officers of the Turkish navy who are
overseeing the building of the Ottoman
cruiser at Cramps, and a number of promi-
nent people of this city. The Maine was
sent to sea shortly after Z o'clock last
night for a preliminary run. The course was
laid southeast Of Overfalls lghtship, and
for an hour and thirty-eight minutes the
great warship was sent ahead at top speed
From the very start of the run it was seen
she would exceed her contract speed, and
IneTe was HuCn Satisfaction expressed
when calculations made after the run,
showed the vessel had maintained an aver
age speed OF 1906 knots an hour. For thirty
minutes during this run she had a burst of
speed Of 1885 knots an hour, which is con-
sidered extraordinary for a vessel of the
Names displacement.
After the preliminary spin. the Maine was
allowed TO drift all night and this morning
she lay twenty-five miles southeast of Five
Fathom Bank lightshlp. The vessel was
headed for the lightship and then the real
test of the trial was begun over a measured
course Of twenty-one miles from the Five
FathOm Bank to the Overfalls lightship.
During the night every part of the machin-
cry was inspected and thoroughly oiled and
/ cleaned, and as result the big ship in
creased her speed of the night before and

VIEWS OF FATHER PAYA.


ROME, July 1I-Father Santiago Paya,
provincial Of the Dominicans in the Philip
pines, who is staying here, when informed
Of the result of Governor Taft's negotia-
lions with the Vatican on the subject of the
friars and their lands, expressed satisfac-
ton at the acceptance OF the first pro-
posal OF Cardinal Rampolla, the papal Sec
rotary Of state, that the matter be dis
cussed at Manila between an apostolic dele
gate and the Governor in Manila. When
asked what was likely to be the outcome,
Father Paya replied: "It is more impor-
tant to know what will be the outcome of
the matters between the Americans and
the Filipinos Although the war is almost
over and the FilipinOs now protest friend
ship for the Americans, they in reality dis
like them just as they dislike the Span
iards. The Filipinos say they did not strug-
gle against Spain TO calmly surrender their
independence" Father Paya concluded
with declaring that il was not true that
the people were against the friars. The lat
ter. he asserted, were hated only by ma
tive clergy and fraction of the people.

FOOLISH YOUNG GIRL.

Jumping Into the River.

ST. LOUIS, July 17.-Later reports show
that Miss May Cert. of East st. Louis, H..

by Capt. r. P. Hobson did not accidentally
fall into the water. She was, il is said,
standing on the deck of a yacht at the
Plaza Chautauqua when she passed the
naval officer swimming in the water. She
had met him before, and as he smiled at
her the girl called out banteringly: IF 1

rescue me?'

lieutenant.
The words had hardly left his mouth
when there was a splash, and the girl
sank in the waters of the Mississippi For

AS the white sailor hat worn by the girl
went under the water the crowds on the
banks of the river screamed with fright.

AN EXCURSION RATE WAR
THAT CAUSED A FURRY AND ENDED
IN CANCELING OF DATES.
Busy Day for Passenger Agents and
Ticket ScaIpers mt Chica gO-Cheap
Fares to New York.

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE elimination OF
one OF the sharpest and prettiest battles
occurring in the passenger world for many
years was witnessed to-day. The final act
in the game was a notice issued by the
Erie canceling n circular announcing ex-
cursiOn rates to New York city, Atlantic
City and Eastern summer resorts on July
81, Aug. Z and IA. 1t is likely that all East
ern lines will issue similar notices with the
possible exception OF the Wabash. which
road started the night by bringing the East
ern resort excursions into Chicago.
Fully 1,50O persons availed themselves of

and other Eastern cities and return to-day.
and the scalpers had the greatest harvest
of several years. General Passenger Agent
Cook. of the Erie, was on the ground to
superintend the final move in the game,
and it was rumored that Mr.. Cooks action
had the approval OF the trunk-line passen-
ger committee. Early in the day Mr.. Cook
put on sale straight open tickets TO New
York and the scalpers began buying them
in punches. All the Erie tickets required
was stamping in some New York office TO
make them good for return passage
The scalpers began selling one-way tick

city was crowded during the day. No
pretense was made of preserving the terms
of the agreen ent to require the ironcla6
form OF tickets and a deposit with a joint
agency at the - stern destination.
The Erie Of ia explained that one of the
roads began tls tun by waving the 5O-cent
fee for valid ton and they did not see
why any restrictions should be made If all
were not eNactcd. The trunk-line passen-
ger committee took hand by sending a
strong resolution 10 Commissioner Donald

demning the fight and recommending that

agreed upon.
Commissioner Donald sent out a letter

agreed to withdraw the notice OF other
excursions. The position OF the Wabash
IS not known. but il was asserted that the
strongest kind of pressure would be
brought 20 bear 10 induce IL to cancel the
remaining excursion rates. That such
action can be taken and faith kept with
the public is seriously questioned by many
passenger men.
Every road eastbound from Chicago has
extensively advertised the SIS excursions
for the three dates. What method will
be pursued 10 cOunteraCt this is not known
but IL Is presumed that the roads will de-
eide 10 follow the Erie's lead and advertise

oNE-FARE QUESTION.
1t Is Brought Up by the Annexation
of Territory.

Last Monday the Board of Public Works
sent a letter to President MCGOWAN, of the
indianapolis Street-railway Company. re-
questing him 70 desist from charging an ex-
ira fare on the Broad Ripple cars north OF
Thirty-fourth street and south of Thirty
eighth street This district was recently
annexed to the city and the board holds
that only one fare may be collected in the
city limits. Yesterday after the interurban
conference Chairman Megrew asked Mr..
MCGOWAN and Vice President Jones what
they proposed to do about il. Mr.. Nc
Gowan said he had referred the matter TO
his attorney, and, while he believed under
the Broad Ripple franchise the right to
charge an extra fare north of Thirty fourth
street existed legally, he would waive the
legality in all probability, and extend the
service TO ThirtY-eighth street

skull crushed, was found to-day i'm a car of
steel blooms in the yards of the Pennsyi-

in which the body was found, was on fire
three times yesterday and the flames were
extinguished each time by the yard men

of Coroner Krause is that Devlin was muir

crime. Devlin has been living at Steelton
