new DESTROYERS
ARE NOT USELESS
Construction Board Defends
the Present Type.
Equal to Any Craft of Similar Type
Admiral Melville Opposed to
Torpedo Boats.

The discovery of the naval board on
construction that torpedo boat destroyers
now under construction are heavier than
the contracts required and deficient n
speed, has given the impression outside
of the Navy Department that these YES
sells are practically useless for war pur-
poses.
Despite it's adverse report on the de-
stroyers, however. the construction
board does not condemn them as useless.
On the contrary, there is a decided senti-
show up well in actual hostiIities with
craft of similar type.
Admiral MeIviIIe's Views.
Admiral Melville, one of the members
of the board, voiced this sentiment
yesterday when he said;
We have the best torpedo boats and
dcstroyers ton for ton in displacement
and knots for speed and the heavier they
are built in proportion to displacement
the better they will be.
They will be completed as originally
designed. and viii be accepted under con-
ditions which will be agreed upon be-
tween the department and the contrac-
tors
Opinions of British Expert.
Admiral Melville has found support for
his statement in leading British tor
pedo boat expert who has commanded
scores of these craft. He has informed
Admiral Melville that he believes neither
destroyers nor torpedo boats should
have more than twenty-five knots speed.
The tendency abroad is against build
ing torpedo boats. Admiral Melville is
in accord with this policy AMI he will soon
prepare an official statement n which he
will hold that the torpedo bat is not
necessary adjunct to pavy.

MINERS IN SESSION.
Question of Calling Out Engineers
VIII BE Decided.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 22.-The three
executive committees of the United
Mine Workers of America have begun
their first formal session since the
great coal strike was inaugurated. The
object Of the meeting is to 60 over the
entire situation and outline and adopt
new plans of campaign that may be
found necessary. The most important
matter for consideration is the PROPOSE
ton to call out the engineers, tiremen
and pumpmen. This is looked upon by
the Mine Workers officials as an eX-
IRENE measure. and it will he most
carefully considered before the step is
taken.
There is n rumor current, which can
not be confirmed, that the railroad
men ut Il meeting here decided to re
| fuse to handle bitumnuus coal destined
| for the anthracite market and, II neces-
| sary. to cause genera stri ic. Presl-
dent Mitchell said that he Knew moth
| ing about such ii meeting. When asked
whether such a step had been serious
" considered by him and the union
railroad leaders. he refused to discuss
the question. There is reason to be
lieve that if the traffic in bitumlnolS
coal into anthracite territory becomes
heavy the railroaders will endeavor tt
stop it.
Reports received here from all parts
of the coalfe]d show that everythln!

spondent of The Daily News, he came
to this country and made horseback

newspaper frequent and pungent let
tiers upon the slavery question. Even
at that early age he became involved
In bitter controversy with men OF au-
thority in the government, and some
of the quarrels he engendered in those
DAYS continued for many years with
unabated bitterness.
The coming of 1859 found Mr.. God
kin in New York studying law. he
was admitted to the bar in that year
and practiced for three years. when he
