FASTEST or BIG WARSHIPS.
the Cruiser Colorado Makes q Record
OF 72.25 Knots an Hour.

BOSTON, Oct. 24.-The new armored
cruiser Colorado had her official trial trip
over the Cape Ann course to-day and her
speed requirement of 20 knots an hour for
four consecutive hours Steaming was ex-
ceeded, the unofficial time, without the
TIDAL corrections, which slightly favor the
snip, being an average of 22.27 knots an
hour. This il the fastest speed ever at
tanned by an armored cruiser in the hmeri-
can Navy, and the new craft, the first OF
her weight to be completed, is queen of
the fleet.
The Government trial board figured that
for the Colorado to make her required
speed, she would have to cover a distance
OF eighty eight nautical miles in four hours,
so course Of forty-four miles stretching
north from Cape Ann to Boone Island, was
laid out and marked by naval vessels. The
Colorado was to start from the southern
end OF the course, steam over it, then turn
and come back. the time consumed in turn
ing being deducted from the elapsed time
The cruiser got an early start passing
the vessel marking the southern end of the
line shortly before A. NJ. and she repassed
it coming home at 1898 p. NJ, her elapsed
time for the lightweight knots being 3
nOuiS anu ~ minutes anu = sPcOnC5, OF an
average speed Of 22.27 knots an hour. The
conditions for the trial were perfect. The
machinery worked smoothly and the boilers
furnished steam faster than the engines
could use it, the pop valve being frequently
open.
While going north over the course the
Colorado at one time went as slow as seven
teen knots an hour, this being due to shall
low water, it was said. The best speed
attained was about half way on the home
ward trip, when the average speed between
two Of the stake boats reached twenty-three
knots an hour.
After finishing the speed trial the cruiser
was put through steering test and cut the
figure eight, the diameter Of the circles in
which she turned being less than twice her
length The anchor tests also proved
satisfactory.

SUBWAY RIDERS SHAKEN UP.
TWO LOCAL TRAINS VERY CLOSE,
AND MAYBE THEY BUMPED.
Green Motorman . Little Slow In Apply.
Ing Brakes-Ran to q station. Against
the Rules, When Another Train Was
There-shows There Can he Collision.

Some Of the passengers who were riding
free in the subway last night had a shaking
up near Ninety-sixt street. One report
of what happened had it that two local
trains had been in collision. Sifted down
to facts, the accident-if it could be called
So didn't amount to much.
The subway was doing great business.
Local trains were running on three minute
Roadway and express trains on six minute
Roadway All of the trains were carrying
passengers and some OF them were filed.
The road might have been running for
months.
According to people at the Ninety-sixt tn
street station two of the local trains run
ming on this Roadway about o'clock act
ually bumped there. General Manager
Hedley said they didn't go az far as that
they hadn't quite touched each other.
Anyway the two trains were north
bound. Each was made up Of five oars
and each was fairly filed with passengers.
The first train had stopped at the Ninety
sixth street station. According to the train
dispatcher the other train following it
was in charge of particularly green
motorman who hasn't got the knack Of
stopping his train down very fine yet
He ran to a point where he thought he
ought TO put on the airbrakes, but he had
waited too long
THE train" said the train dispatcher,
went just little bit too far before II came
to dead stop and it bumped into the other
Some people may have been shaken in
their seats a bit, but not enough to feel 1t
the next minute. Atany rate, everybody
went on with the train which went to l45th
street and then down again"
Manager Hedley said: There was no
collision, nor was there imminent danger
of one as 1t was reported to me. Two
trains on the northbound local track were
running close together. While the first
was standing in the Ninety-sixth street
the station limits.
This was against the rules. The mo-
torman of the rear train, realizing that he
was violating the rule, put on the air brakes
suddenly and brought his train to a sudden
stop. So far as | know. nobody was
bumped hard and nothing was broken"
The incident brought out the fact that
the block system, with all It's accompany
ing safeguards of automatic signals and
stops, is used on the express tracks
only. 1t had been the general impression
outside Of the subway that the system
covered both express and local tracks
and that collisions on the latter were as
impossible as on the express tracks. This
10 not the case.
1T would be impossible for W to use the
block system on the local tracks. said
Mr.. Hedley. IF we did, We could not
handle one-third OF the traffic that the
subway is depended upon to carry. In the
rush hours we must necessarily run trains
close together. We could not keep them
a block apart and take care of the great
volume of traffic. On the express tracks,
though, collisions are impossible"
The local tracks are sareguarded by
emergency brakes on every train, which
the motormen can apply.

There are as many women as men at

women are drawn there by a curiosity
which is something worse than morbid
and they listen to every word which falls

grows the more intense as the testimony

that if they excluded the women there
would be a protest about sex discrimina-
ton which would have back OF IL pretty

or, if / strive in doing good,
And saving all the souls | could
Wherever / might wander.
Would that one stain upon my name
Outweigh my labor and my fame2
Alas you know II would,
Would all my struggles, all my tears.
For days and nights for months, for years, }

Ny sorrow and my piteous prayer
Might reach Almighty's gracious ear,
But would my neighbor hear?

O thieves and liars. deaf and blndi
But never, never dumb.
O beasts that drabble IN your pen.
And beasts that wear the Garb OF men.
What honor 10 be one!
Could have hid that early crime
And turned my sycOphantine chime
To key with pleasing lies.
And stuff beasts loathsOme belly-full
And pat his elephantine hull
