ACCEPTS
HOLLAND BOAT ADDER
Submarine Craft Falls Short in Speed, But Proves
Otherwise Acceptable on Trial Trip.

The Adder. as in the case Of the other
submarine boats, has large reserve
huoyancy as a precaution against any
possible failure Of the diving or othor
apparatus to wcrk. Regarding this ap-
paratus and its working, it is sail that
it appears 10 be in every way thoroughly
practical Furthermore, the officials
think that the automatic. complicated
and delicate apparatus which for the past
fifty years has as rule been the weak
feature of submarine boats. has been
everywhere possible replaced by simple
strong, and practical mechanism
The Final Trial.
On its final trial the Adder made a
three hours submerged run, and vas
steeTed by means of her compass and
pcTiseope. Under the official require
ments for the trial the boat was autlor-
lied to come to the surface for thirty
minutes in the three hours run, but in
making this she actually came TO the
surface for only three minutes. The
naval observers and crew, who were in
the boat all the time, said that they
found no difficulty in breathing while
the Adder was submerged.
As to the value of these submarine
boats the department thinks there can be
little question. The final trials Of the
Moccesin and the other submarine craft
have not yet come of

and type bu.t for the United States
Navy, has been accepted by the Navy
Department.
Upon its final trial the Adder fell
triae short in its speed requirements.
but this was caused by an accident TO
part Of the machinery. It is said by de-
partment officials that this shortage will
be easily recJifed and that the boat VIII

Model Of It's Kind.
The Adder. besides being one Of the
eight built for this country. is also Of
rhe same size and type of the ten TO be
constructed in England Tor the British
government. It is Of steel. cigar shaped,
and OF circular cross-section throughout
Its length over all its G3 feet: its dis
placement 100 tons. and the diameter of
its greatest cross-section is II feet. The
surface power. of the boat IS obtained
from d 100 horsepower. fouF-eyIinder,

Pennsylvania Emphatic
When Questioned,

Senator Quay maintains his complete
confidence in the ultimate success OF
the omnibus Statehood bill for the ad-
mission Of New Mexico. Arizona, and
Oklahoma. He was caller at the White
House Offices this morning, and saw the
President twice before noon
DO you know when you will get =

Times reporter.
no, responded the Senator, but We
Riu get a vote" He placed decided
emphasis on the will indicating that
tie bill would not be tied up by par
Iiamentary red-tape.
The Senator vas accompanied by three
citizens Of New Mexico, who came 10
pay their respects to the President. One
OF them was a fun -bIooded Cheyenne In
dian, more than six feet tall. They told
the President they hoped strongly for
Statehood. and the President responded
pleasantly.
The member II the party who received
the heartest greetings from the Presi-
dent was the Senator's granddaughter.
Miss Agnes Quay Davidson, d pretty lit
tie miss of eight years She made sn
oId=time courtesy to the President, and

pleasant inquiries.
Senator BeveTidge, chairman Of The
Senate Committee on Territories, who
is opposing the omnibus bill, was an
other caller Of the day at the White

HOAR'S ANTITRUST
BILL TAKEN UP BY
SENATE COMMITTEE
Discussion Confined to the
Members.
Mr.. KNOX TO BE SUMMONED
Strength Given to Proposed Legislation
of the Massachusetts Statesman.
Position of Statehood Mes.

Consideration of the Hoar antitrust
bill was begun today by the Senate Com
mittee on the Judiciary. Nearly every
member was in attendance when tho
measure was taken up. but no others
we're admitted. It had been expected
that Attorney General Knox might be
present at this time. but the members
decided that it would be better to first
digest the communication Mr.. Knox
sent to the President and which was in
turn transmitted to the Senate. Later
Mr.. Knox viii be summoned.
Trust legislation has been wonderfully
stimulated by the number of bills and
remedies OF the alleged existing evils
that are developing in the two houses
Of Congress. The rivalry in the House
between the friends of the jenkins
measure and the supporters of the Lit
tIefeld bill has strengthened the Hoar
bill, which Is the only one that will be
originated In the Senate at this session.
Then. too, the stamp of favor is said
to have been put on the bill by the
President. and this has been source
of impetus to the bill.
Promise to President.
Chairman Hoar has promised the
President he VIII use every possible dill
fgence in getting the bill reported to
the Senate, despite the fact that he is
numbered among those who look with
doubt upon the theory that it viii be
possible to reach an agreement on anti
trust legislation at this session. The
majority of the members of the Judi
ciary Committee hold views similar to
those of Mr. Hoar. but at the same time
they are disposed to please the admin
istration by giving the Senate chance
to pass the measure.
Several of tse Statehood advocates,
who are now blocking progress in every
direction. aes In favor OF trust legisla-
tion. in fact 1t is said their interest is
stronger in this subject than 1t is in
adding stars to the flag. and that the
Hoar bill might have a bearing in get
ting the Statehood bills out Of the way.
Another Trust Bill.
Another bill the committee is consid-
ering in connection with the antitrust
discussion is that which Senator Hoar
introduced Thursday in accordance with
Attorney General Knox's communication.
This bill is TO expedite the hearing
and determination of suits in equity
pending or hereafter brought under the
act of July .. 1880. entitled IAN act 10
protect trade and commerce against un-
lawful restraints and monopoIies"
It provides a method by which suits in
equity under the Sherman antitrust
law, the interstate commerce law, and
any act having a like purpose that may
he hereafter enacted, may be given
precedence over other litigation. and in
every other way expedited. This iegisla-
ton is urged BY the Attorney General as

contained in each car. Mr.. Legge, the
terminal agent Of the Baltimore and

A Remarkable Fact.
A remarkable fact in regard to the
coal situation brought out in Mr. Craw-
ford's testimony Is that the amount Of
all kinds Of coal brought into the city
over all lines using the Pennsylvania
tracks in 1902 exceeded the total receipts
in the previous year by 10 per cent, de
spite the long enforced idIeness. The
decrease in the receipts Of anthracite
was but 50 per ceLt, while the increase
of bituEninous was 60 per cent over the

TO the Women Of Arkansas:
The management in charge of tho

no good WORK can be accomplished and
no great ends achieved without the

assist us in the great work of making
a proper exhibit at the worlds fair.
Space will be deyoted to the eXhi
btion of preserves. jams jellies
sweet pickles and canned fruits-1n
fact, everything that can be pre-
duced from fruit by the skill of the
housewife. and it is my wish to make
this one Of the principal features Of
the exhibit 1t has been demonstrated
beyond peradvertJre that none are
more s1iiIlful in the preparation OF such
articles than the good housewives Of
Arkansas. and | hope to have the
hearty o-opeHatiGp and assistance OF
them all. All those Who Will assist in
this work will please advise me as
early as possible. and If you can not
preTara more than ere ar Of AL kind
Of fruit, do this and we will appreci-
ste it and see to It that it has place
in the exhibit. Tn Ter the rules OF
the worlds fair mana cement, all eX-
hibits must bear the name Of those
preparing them. hence all those fur
nishing articles for exhibit will re-
ceive full credit, and I am satisfied
that the ladies in all parts Of the state
will aid in this great work. Yours
