WHAT IS GIBSON
GIRL, ASKS JUDGE
CHIEFLY MATTER OF FIGURE,
HE DECLARES
Question Comes UP In Case In
Which Actress and Manager
Are sued for Bill for

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, March 25.-"I want to
-judicially-what a Gibson girl
is" said Judge Bevall in the Westmin-
ster court this week. He was handed
a photograph of Miss Camille Clifford
Then he remarked that II appeared to
be "chieny a matter of figure"
There are, according to Mr.. Butt,
manager of the Palace theater, many
ladies anxious to imitate-on the stage
Miss Camille Clifford. One is Miss Kate
Hardren, an American girl. She and
her manager, John Halpin, were sue
recently by Messrs. Harrison for the
price OF two dresses. The dresses were
ordered so that she might give "a
show before the manager of the Palace
theater. Counsel explained that when
Mr.. Halpin was asked for payment
later he wrote that Miss Hardren had
lost fortnight's engagement owing to
the dress.
The dress was discussed at great
length and the photograph Of Miss Cliff
ford was handed round in order to heir
toward an elucidation of the knotty
points. Counsel said Miss Hardren had
to stand for four hours while waiting
for the rehearsal, because "she could
not sit down in the dress owing to tbs
bones" Miss Dhoyl, an assistant al
Harrison's, said she saw Miss Harden
Sitting on a box placed on top OF
chairs" Counsel explained that was
because she had not to bend when IN
that position. Mr.. Butt said it was not
because of the dress that he did not
give the lady an engagement. "Nc
one," he declared, has yet succeeded
In initiating Miss Clifford, who 'walke
in most captivating way 1t is hard.
he added with sigh, ito explain the
captivating way of woman"
The Judge dismissed the action
against Miss Hardren and gave judg-
ment for Mr.. Halpin. Leave to appeal
was granted.

LORD BRASSEY ON
THE BRITISH NAVY
URGES WATCH ON PROGRESS
IN OTHER COUNTRIES
Expert Believes II Should Not BE
Difficult to Design High Speed
and Heavily Armored
Cruisers
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, March 25.-Lord Brassey,
in the course of lecture to the Insti-
tuition of Civil Engineers on naval
shlpbuildlng, said the latest official
statistics showed that England held a
commanding position in the numerical
strength of her fleet, but the rapidity
with which vessels became obsolete
made 1t imperative that the designs
and principles of construction of future
vessels should receive very careful at
tention.
Lord Brassey thought they should
carefully watch work in progress for
foreign navies and instanced four ves-
sells of the Vittorla Emanuel type now
building for the italian navy.
In the growth of dimensions Eng
land had always led the way, he said,
and in the hands of her skillful navy
architects growing dimensions had
given more than a proportionate gain
in fighting efficiency, but on the other
side various arguments could be ad-
vanced. In naval battles numbers
must tell, and If the units were less
costly more of them could be built
Increase of size gave no immunity
from the dangers of darkness, nor
from stranding or collision, nor from
the ram or torpedo or submarine
mine. Coming towers could give no
protection to commanders.
High Speed Vessels
Lord Brassey was of the opinion that
1t should not be difficult to design a
high speed vessel of the torpedo boat
destroyer class, heavily armored, and
armed with torpedo tubes and with u
heavy gun in the bow. Many of these
could be built for the cost of one bat
tleship and they might do more than
the heavy ships to decide the issue of
hard-fought day. He also suggested
that some British battleships might
with advantage be similar to those
now being built for Italy and Germany
with a displacement of about $4,000
tons.
Without advocating a revolution in
shipbuilding policy or desiring that
EnglShd had a single big ship less on
the navy list, he contended that in fu-
ture shipbuilding programs some ves-
sells should be included of a type suit
able for narrow and shallow waters.
AS to the submarine, Lord Brassey
thought it essentially a defensive
weapon. 1t was valuable for harbor
defense, but it's ability to navigate the
seas had yet to be proved.
Two Types of Cruisers
AS to cruisers, he considered the lat
est British examples would we'll bear
comparison with those under construc-
ton elsewhere. Two types were neces-
sary, namely, scouts of the fleet, In
which speed and coal endurance were
essential qualities, and cruisers for the
protection of commerce, in which fight
ing efficiency must be combined with
these qualities. The latter type must
be large.
With regard to scouting cruisers, he
pointed out that the war in the far
east had shown that cruisers having
no protection by vertical armor could
hardly be reckoned as combatants.

BULLFIeHTINe ON SUNDAY
Sport Is Declared to Be Legal in
Madrid
peoIal cable 10 The Herald

Special Cable TO The Herald.
MADRID, March 25.-The council Of
state has now declared that Sunday
bull fighting is legal, thus reversing
a previous decision. 1t bases this
opinion upon the grounds that the tore
adors, matadors and others employed
are not in need of Sunday rest, as they
are seldom occupied during the week.
A second reason given for reversing
the position OF AFFAIRS Is that bull
fghting is not manual work, but an
art. as much as acting and similar
professions. which are not forbidden

KEEP THE 100000 IN
THE SINKING FUND

By unanimous vote, the board Of
sinking-fund commissioners today re-
fused to comply with the request of
the city council for a transfer Of &c.,
900 from the sinking fund to the perma-
nent improvement revolving fund.
This money was turned over to the
sinking fund in 1898 from then sur
plus in the revolving fund which could
not be used. It is the theory Of the
sinking fund commissioners that the
fund is inviolate except for the redemp-
ton Of city bonds, and the fact that
the city may need the money for per
manent improvements does not. relieve
them Of responsibility. The aldermen
hold that the money was simply loaned
to the sinking fund, or, rather, placed
with it for safekeeping. The commits
sioners do not say that the council is
wrong, but, as matter Of public poll
cy, think that there should be deci-
sion of the court on the legal question
involved.
A petition for mandamus will be pre-
sented to the district court at once.
