nized by the Courts.
Uncle Sam Likes the Vessels Built at
Bath, Why Not?

Portland Me-, Sept. 11.-The decree
of Judge Putnam in the United States
district court in the case of Roland r.
Conklin ct ais. compliments, against
the Bath Iron Works and the Hyde
Windlass Co. defendants, which was
fled in the United States circuit court,
today. confirms and approves the or
DER of the United States circuit court
for the district of New Jersey. The
New Jersey court appointed James
Smith, Jr., receiver, and for interloc-
utory purposes within this district Re-
ceiver Smith is vested with the same
powers.

to deliver possession of the real prop
crty, plant, machinery, assets and eff
ceiver who shall however, furnish the

ties to complete the work now on
hand.
The receiver is ordered to continue
the business of the Hyde Windlass Co.
until further orders, making new con-
tracts and taking new orders as found
eXpedient. But no new contract which
connot be completed within one year
of the entry of this decree shall be talk
Ell without further order of the court.
The business is to be continued by the

account to the receiver for the purpose
of ascertaining the profits to be paid to
the United States Shipbuilding Co.
The application for possession of the

the fact that at the time of the lease
there were on hand certain contracts

run. The Bath Iron Works is there
fore entitled to retain exclusive possess
sion for the purpose of completing
these contracts.

future time, and no transfer Of the
shares of the capital stock of either. of

the books or new certificates issued.

MAJOR DELMAR
Lowers His Own Record to
200 IA at Syracuse.
Dan Patch Goes in POI in Heavy
Wind at Hartford.
Two Wonderful Performances by Two
Wonderful Horses.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. n.-With turf
conditions which were estimated to
make the course a good half second
slower than on Wednesday, when he
established new worlds trotting rec
ord for geldings of 2.O1@, Major Del
mar went mile on the State fair
ground track, today, in 20OA. lowering
his previous record IL seconds.
This remarkable exhibition of speed
was made in the presence of $1,000 peo-
pie, who nearly went wild when the
result was announced.
The early actions of Delmar did not
promise the splendid achievement
which was to follow. Twice Mcdonald
nodded his head as he drove Delmar
down the stretch accompanied by a
runner, and twice did the geldinS
break, first at the eighth and then at
the quarter pole, and was returned for
another start.
pair of shadow goggles were re-
moved from Delmar's eyes. and Nc
Donald again announced his readiness
for another trial. With the regularity
Of clockWork, Delmar settled down to
his work. The quarter was reached in
81 II seconds, the same time made by
Eelmar in Wednesdays trial. Soon af-
ter passing the quarter pole the geld
ing faltered slightly, but soon recov-
cred himself and reached the half in
1.01, having gained three quarters of Il
second over his time, Wednesday.
At the half, Delmar and his running
mate We're joined by Il second runner
and the real contest began. Chances at
watches showed that the third quarter
rad been done in 29A and a mighty
cheer went up. Coming into the
stretch Mcdonald gave Delmar Il light
touch with the whip and the gelding in
response made a magnificent squirt
which brought him under the wire in
|2.0GH.
The state fair meeting closed, today,
with several well contested events.

A FACT.
Good Coffee Just as Harmful as the
Cheap Grades.

Those who defend coffee often say it
is only the cheap grades that hurt one
hut it is fact that the highest priced
coffee on the market is just as injurious
to those with whom coffee acts as a
poison as a cheap grade.
More than 90 years ago I became
convinced that coffee was slowly
killing me and it may interest you to
know that 1 found out by careful ex-
periments that the better the grade of
coffee the more l suffered" says a lady
of Harvey. III.
so l gave up coffee and drank hot
water only going back to coffee oc-
casionally and always having to pay
for it in suffering Of some kind.
About four years ago l visited the
home of a friend one evening and
some Postum was very daintily served
to the company present and was
pronounced delicious.
When I learned how it was prepared
found that the reason l had not liked
it before was because l had not boiled
it long enough to bring out the crisp
delicious coffee taste; ever since that
time I have used Postum steadily My
family and I have found it most whole
some and pleasant and a food drink in
every sense of the word. with no bad
sfter effects but on the other hand 1t is

A MILE IN 2.01.
Dan Patch Fails to Lower Record but
Does Wonderful Mile.

f.. Hartford, Conn, Sept. lin a bat
tie against time. this afternoon, at
Charter Oak handicapped by a heavy
wind and an unsatisfactory track, Dan
Patch. the champion PAGER, failed to
break the record made there, two
years ago, by Star Pointer in two min
utes fiat. The wonderful horse, how
ever. went the mile in POI, doing the
last quarter in 291A. This was "a sec
ond better than the experts who had
sized up the conditions anticipated,
and as result the flyer was given an
ovation lasted several minutes when
his time was posted. The fractional
parts of his time We're: 81, 1O1, 1919,
last quarter, 291A. Total, 2O1.
OF the other events of the closing
day Of the meet the 2.O7 trot furnished
the most excitement. Dan T., after
finishing fourth in the first heat, took
the next three in succession. but
Geers had to work hard to bring about
this result. for the gelding broke at
critical stages. rhythmic. the blind
horse. had an unfortunate experience
in the first heat of the race. which put
him out of the contest. While pocket
ed at the half mile the tire came off one
wheel, and Hudson dlsmounted and
walked home.
The other races, while spirited. were
uneventful In the 2.30 trot there was
Il suspicion that Curry held Judge
Green back. so he was replaced by
Walker at the finish of the second heat,
after which the gelding made a process
sion of the other heats, winning both
in a walk.
Before Dan Patch came out to try for
the record, the track was softened as
much as possible and after scoring
few times he was sent away accom-
panied by Carrie Nation, the runner.
His splendid condition. however, could
not overcome the northwest wind which
swept across the track and he finished
two seconds behind his own best mark
and one behind that of Star Pointer
His last quarter was a beautiful exhi-
btion of speed and was covered under
whip ard yell, Carrie Nation doing
everything possible to break the wind

MILLS RESUME.
1000, 900 More SpindIes to
Start at Fall River.
Nearly $500 Operatives to Start, Next
Week, With $4,000 Wages.
Other Mills in Other Sections Are Also
About to Open.

Fall River Mass, Sept. 1.-One mill
lion more cotton spindles will run in
Fan River, next week, than ran this,
800 more operatives will work; $4,000
more will be paid out in wages; 240c
more bales of cotton will be used and
10000 more pieces of cloth will be
made. 1T appears now as if the greater
part of the season of curtailment in
this city was over, and it is confidently
expected that soon the mills will be
running steadily, with the exception of
those engaged in installing new ma
chinery. Not all the mills will run,
next week, however. Five corporations
operating seven mills, will stop pro-
duction. Those involved are the Amer
lean Line Co. Stafford, Cornell, Luther
and Border City No. l. They operate
about 100000 spindles, as against about
300 900, idle this week.
Lawrence, Mass, Sept. 11.--With the
exception of one corporation the cotton
mills Of this city, are not affected at
present by the corner in the cotton
market. Several of the mills We're
shut down for two weeks to give the
ppcId vacation ana make nee
essary repairs, have resumed opera
tions, and no let up is in sight for
some time to come. The Pemberton is
the only one OF the several mills shut
down during the past two weeks. that
did not resume work. The operatives
were notified that there would be no
work for them for two weeks or longer.
The unhealthy condition of the cotton
market is given as the reason for the
shut down. Agent w. III. Summersby
of the Atlantic mills, said, tonight. that
his corporation had enough of cotton
material to carry it over for eight or
ten weeks. On a whole the scarcity of
cotton has not yet had any material
effect on the mills in this city.
