TWO TURBINE SHIPS
To Be Added to Our Navy-Bids Have
Been Asked.

Washington. Jan. 31.-The navy de-
partment has invited two great Amer
lean manufacturing concerns to COM
pete for the supply OF turbine engines
to drive the 4000-ton scout ships for
which estimates have been submitted
to Congress. One of these companies
manufactures turbines OF an English
pattern. and much interest attaches to
the competition. The naval engineers
contemplate the largest installation of
turbine power ever placed on any ship.
1t is question of weights, to be de-
termined by the manufacturers pro-
posals. whether these vessels shall be
given 16,0O0h horse power turbines,
dIfording a speed Of "a knots an hour,
or whether 1t will be possible to place
in their hulls 10000 horse power motors
which will drive the vessels at a rate
of Is knots an hour. Rear Admiral
Melville, retired, formerly engineer
in-chief of the navy. has sailed for
Germany and Great Britain to study
turbine machinery.

placing the output, mainly on near con-

dinner Of the Waukegan (Ill) Bache-

STATE HAS RESTED
In the SockaIexis Indian Muir
der Trial at Machias.
Defence Contends Dead Man Fell from
Railroad Trestle.
One Of Defendants Shows Emotion
Under Cross Determination.

Machias, Me-, Jan. 31.-The State has
rested and the defence opened in the
trial OF the two Passamaquoddy In

young Penobscot buck, Joe Sockalexis,
who was found dead on the night OF
Nov. 10, beneath the Washington
County Railroad trestle, west Of East
port, near the Indian village Of Pleas
ant Poin..
Everett Sockabasin, the principal
defendant, was put upon the stand at
once by the defence. He said he. with
Sockalexis and others, had been TO
Campobello. They were too late for
the train when they reached Eastport
and started to walk to the Indian viii
lagc, on the railroad. They had bought
liquor at Compobcllo. They overlook
a man named Emery, who walke1
ahead with Newell P. Francis. The
witness and Joe Sockailexis were be-
hind them. When they were on the
trestle a train came along. Witness

stumbled and fell to the beach below.
After the train went by he did not
answer a call. Defendant went down
to where he was and turned him over
He was dead. Went to village and
called ut number Of places and told
them that Joe was dead. Was after
ward arrested and locked up; was best
OF friends with Sockalexis, and had
slept with him all summer.
At one point in the crOss-examina
ton Atty Gen. Seiders had brought out
the fact that there is a strip of woods
near the trestIe where the body was
found Then the attorney general
sternIy asked: What took place when
you we're in those woods?" and the
swarthy eace of the accused grew pale
az death and he seemed completely UNI
nerved.
At another point when Socialism, had
testified that he knew Sockalexis was
dead he asked: you knew the beating
he received would kill him." and
again the Indian showed the strain
under which he was placed.
Newell p. Francis, the other defend
ant, was subjected to similar ques-
tiOning. He did not understand Eng
lish as we'll as Socialism, and was
troubled by the crOss-examination.
Much Of his story was in agreement
with that of the other man. He said
he had gone on in advance OF Soca-
basin AMI SOckalexis on the way home
that night. and knew nothing of the
death Of his companion until after he
arrived home and eaten his supper.
