QUICK RUN TO BOSTON
Electricity Will Enable Run From New
York to Be Made in Four
Hours
Special 10 The Herald.

Special 10 The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Out Of
all the experimenting with cleo
tricity which has been done by
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford management during the last few
years has at last been evolved motor
which, it is said will make the four
hour flyer between Boston and New
York possible within the next two
years.
The new motors, for which orders
have been placed already and with
which the entire system is to be
equipped, have pull Of $50 tons trav-
cling ut rate of from seventy to
ninety miles an hour. At every in
crease In the weight of the train all
that is necessary is to add another
motor, one man being able to operate
one or five. thus effecting a tremendous
saving in the operation of the road.
At the present time the effort of the
management Is being directed to equip
ping the western end of the line be-
tween New York and New Haven, one
reason for this being that heretofore
the problem of applying electricity to
the heavy traffic of the steam roads
had not been solved, but with the de-
velopment of the new type of motor
it is the prediction of railroad men and
electricians that the end vs. IN sight
and that it is only a matter of the time
necessary for the complete equipment
of the system before the dream of the
management four-hour trains from
Boston to New York, will be an ac-
complished fact.
For years the management has been
exceedingly active in putting the road
bed into condition to Withstand the
wear and tear due to the increased
speed which it was figured electricity
would usher in, and everything else
from this city to the western terminus
of the road is in such shape that the
change in motor power may be made
in a comparatively short time.
Several of the new motors are
already at work between New Haven
and New York and orders have been
placed for large number more
enough to completely equip that por-
ton of the road.

DOG SMOKES PIPE IN COURT
to the Satisfaction of
the Judue

DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 29.-By in
ducing her dog to smoke a pipe in
court, a trick which she claimed to have
taught 1t, Mrs. Charles Larch today
convinced Judge Hinze that she was
the owner of the dog and thus SET
tied the problem as to the ownership
of the animal.
Mrs. Nellie Harvey was the rival
claimant. Mrs. Larch promised to show
the court trick the dog would do for
nobody but her. Then she produced
81 clay pipe, borrowed some tobacco,
and lighted the pipe. She inserted 1t
between the fox terriers teeth and the
dog puffed like veteran.
THAT will dc" said the court. at is
all plain to me that Mrs. Larch either
owns the dog or has had it long enough
to acquire title by the statute of limi-
tations and easements. / therefore
award the custody of Patrick to her
and dismiss the charge of larceny
against her."

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 29.-The second
days session of the court martial of
Midshipman Trenmor Coffin. ir., for the
alleged hazing of Midshipman Kim
brough began this morning. The little
court room in the temporary building
at the academy was full of spectators
during the day An hour was con-
sumed at the opening of the session in
reviewing the testimony given yester-
day.
The record in the Coffin case will go
to Admiral Sands for his action, though
Mr.. Theall, counsel for Coffin, has
dled a request that 1t be forwarded to
the secretary of the navy for review.
n the same communication he urges
hat At verdict of guilty, rendered, be
set aside; that the navy regulations
we're disregarded by allowing KIM
bfough to testify when he could not
IDENTIFY the accused. and also because
he was not allowed to pursue Il line
If questioning designed to impeach
Kimbrough's testimony by showing
hat his reputation for veracity was not

lition to Midshipman Stephen Decatur
ir., charged with four instances of haZ-
ng, another member of the graduating
lass is under the same charge and
OtnefS Will De Drought 10 lIldl uluei
ike allegations.
Midshipman Decatur was, after re-
cess. brought before the same court
which had tried Midshipman Coffin, but
his counsel, IL. S. Theall of Washing
ton, asked that recess be taken until
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and relief
was granted The other midshipman of
the class. against whom charges of
hazing have been filed, is Worthweigh
Foster of New Albany, Ind. The spe-
cifications have not been made public.
II is also understood that Carroll f.
Graves of Spokane, Wash, is under
arrest and that charges will be filed
against him Nor is this case the end,
for it Is known that several other
members of the first class have re-
ceived intimations that they must an
swer to the same charge in the very
near future.
That the first-class men are engaged
in hazing, q practice hitherto left to
the north class, is explained on the
ground that Admiral Sands opposition
to hazing has arrayed the upper class
men against him in a desperate at
tempt to save the system at the acad-
emy. The other men at the institution
are said to have taken it upon them
selves to keep the practice alive be-
cause they thought themselves less
likely to be suspected and they are
almost immune from reports by MEM
bers of their own class, the only class

Care Of a Piano

Pianos are often seriously affected by
extremes of heat and cold. These ex-
tremes are felt more especially in apart
ments and flats where, during the win
ter season, heat Is furnished only until
about midnight. The rapidly cooling
process after the steam Is turned off
has Ill effects on the Instruments. FOR
while at 10 p. IN. the temperature of the
room is as or thereabouts, few hours
later, in severe weather, it falls to
nearly the freezing point This sudden
contraction dnd the equally rapid ex-
pansion when the steam again is turned
on in the morning puts most pianos out
of tune, and in some cases results in
the swapping of the strings. and the
presence OF the repairer or the tuner
becomes a necessity.

Goina Too Far

There is such a. thing as carrying
fad too far says the London Chroni,
Gle. The simple life, for instance, is
all very well from the point of view
of our western civilization, but 1t is
conceivable that there are places on
the earth's surface where the simple
life would be de trop, as it We're. Yet
one of these faddists, on being asked
to subscribe toward sending out a
missionary TO one of the cannibal is
lands OF the Pacific, is reported TO have
answered in the most discouraging
manner "Certainlv not. 1 am a Vege-

FAMOUS EQUESTRIAN ACTS.
Celebrated Riders With The Norris And
Rowe Greater Circus.

Messrs. Norris & Rowe determined to
to make their circus this season the
most memorable one IN their history
and towards that end have engaged
performers in all departments of the
arena that have gained the greatest
fame in this country and Europe. Last
year witnessed the inception Of their
greater circus and this year will witness
the elimination of their triumphs as
Big Show Showmen. Towards that end
they have engaged such famous riders
as Miss Rose Dockrill, the daring lady
equestrian; Geo. Holland, the principal
rider; Austin King, the clever young
hurdle and jockey rider. Dolly and
Frank Miller. a notable duo of eques-
trians, brought to this country from the
Paris Hippodrome, where they were at
the height OF their fame. William Sut-
ton, JOS Haines, Mile Julien and Es-
telle Settler, are quartette OF of dashing
bare back riders. These stars will be
augmented by other riders in innumer-
able sensational equestrian exercises.
As contrast to the expert riding, there
will be many laughable climaxes in the
burlesquing Of these acts by famous
clowns, who with their fooling will create
amusement Tor the little ones by their
absurd attempts to duplicate the feats
performed by the expert equestrians in
the arena. Norris & Rowe contend
that no circus visiting this section will
be able to show as many or as clever a
list Of celebrities in expert horseman-
ship as will be exhibitee in their
arenas.
Exhibitions will be given in Dickinson
