YACHTS AND YACHTING COST
 AMERICANS FIFTY MILLIONS
GREAT DEMAND RAcERs-THE THE NAVAL ARCHITECTS BEAT THE WORLD. .....

Boston, June 24.-An expert has fig ured out that Americans have more than 43,O00, 900 invested in yachts; that $s,000,00O are spent every year for pleasure in yachting. and that if all the yachts large and small were moored bow to stern in the Hudson River. be- ginning at the Battery at the lower end of Manhattan Island, they would form q line, giving them leeway, that would reach to Albany, making It l55 miles long from end to end. For the most part the boats taken into account in these calculations are pleasure craft as distinguished from racers. Some or them measure up with good-sized ocean liners have powerful engines to move them and are manned by large<erews. Others are little more than rowboats with a mast stuck in the thwart, finding two to be company and three an un- comfortable crowd. Besides these there are the racing machines, with their masses of high-lifted canvas ana their slender, but rigid hulls.
 The accounts that come across the water of Sir Thomas Lipton's prepara- tions for again contesting the interna- tionaI yacht trophy have started afresh the discussion as to whether. after all. competitions between racing machines. which could hardly be called boats ex- cent that they float and are propelled by sails. are really worth while. In the new rules of the New York Yacht Club. final decision on which Sir Thom- as must wait before the exact form or his challenge can be framed, there IS strong indication of a desire to make

Correspondence in New York Times
 To the Editor of The New YorL, Times: Apropos of the interest taker in the approaching centennial of the application of steam to the propulsion of boats by Fulton. it Is interesting to know that the UniteI States Govern. m ent comedies the priority of such ap. plication to John Fitch. having in. scribed his name on the walls of thu CongressiC nal Library at Washington among the great inventors.
 Writers in your columns lave sroker of historical description of the first trip of John Fltch's boat on the Col. lect pond here in New York, where now stands the Tombs prison. Such picture hangs cn the walls of the Van Cortlandt Park, now under the control of the Daughters of the American Rev olution. The principal difficulty with John Fitch was unquestionably thai WI ich interferes today with the plans of those not in possession of 'politi- cal pull"
 John Fitch lies in an unmarked spot in a neglected graveyard at Bardstown, Ky, while Robert Fulton's monument is in Trinity Churchyard. New York City, beside the grave of Alexander Hamilton, and thus the exposure of the thousands who visit that hallowed spot. It Is not too late to link to- gether the names of John Fitch and Robert Fulton now that the centennial of practical steamboating approaches.

will have to know, in a general way, how long the boat is to be, and wheth- CT you mean, to use her for sailing by day in some sheltered harbor or sound, or for cruising, or for longer, deep sea voyages. Then he will sketch a body plan and name you 0 price built upon 1t from the figures of cost he carries in his head, very much as a caterer tells you off-hand the expense of giving a luncheon, a dinner or an lout-of-doors spread.
 If you want speed the bows will be sharpened up, the hull rounded in more narrowly. the angle of the bilge made less acute. If seaworthiness is to be the prime consideration, and with 1t ease of handling, the shape of the hull will be still otherwise modified. If you will let him he will insist on seaworthiness as of the greatest inn portance and speed as secondary; but if need be he has devices for increasing draught and balancing 1t against the spread of sail that will reduce the risk to minimum. anyway. In a racing machine, of course. everything Is sac rificed to lessen the displacement that is, the amount of water displaced by the boats hull-and so minimize the resistance to her passage, and to give her the least foothold that will keep upright her masts, spars and sails.
 When the Technology student sits down to make q vessels plans, ne has to consider all the peculiar re- quirements of the special type of craft he Is at work on. In designing a into account the placing of the differ ent weights in her hull-the propeller and rudder at one end, the anchor at the other, the boilers amioships and the engines abaftN of them, living quarters way astern, cargo and ballast room up-for'ard, or whatever the ar- engagement may be. By means of measuring mechanisms as simple in their operation as they are complicated in principle, he makes mathematical calculations that show instantly wheth- CT the centre of buoyancy has been properly placed, where the breaking moment" comes-that is to say, the point where the hull might break if overloaded when lifted on the crest of a big wave-and. if the craft is to have sails, what spread of canvas she can carry to advantage.
 These various qualities proved sat isfactorily, the student goes on to se- feet a type of engines or make a sail plan as the case may be. When the vessel is completed. on paper, she Is submitted to further rigid examinations that will make sure she is right and stipshape in every way, for some day, when he has taken up the actual prac- tice of his profession, thousands of lives and millions of wealth will de- pend for their safety on the man who originated her.
 The calling of the naval architect is one of the coming ones. With the rehabilitation promised for Amer ican merchant shipping he will find plenty of occupation. Yacht designing is but a single and minor branch of his profession, but it is well paid, and is generally bu. a part of the work of a man engaged in larger and more important efforts. The success of American design and construction, of warships, merchantmen and yachts, alike, promises great things for those who have share in the winning of future victories.

yacht racing more truly a sport and less wholly a game.
 The freaks" sometimes turned out for racing purposes are, of course. ex- captions The man who designs them need not be so much a naval architect as a mercanical genius. Indeed, your real designer of ships. sloops and schooners has rather a contempt, as a craftsman for vessels with no practical possibilities. Yet while developing the fastest racing machines that traverse the waters, Americans have lost none of their skill in evolving other types of vessels. not only of merchantmen but of such classes as the three -masted Allan tic. the sturdy seagoipg yacht which won the recent trans Atlantic sailing contest.
 In the study of naval architecture, as the science of designing and construct ing all kinds of vessels is called nowa- days, yacht building plays useful part, if not an ultra-impoitant one At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where naval architecture has been de- veloped into a department of stand ards so high that the United States gov ernment sends its naval constructors there for training every student taking the course is caled upon to lay down the lines of a yacht and construct her mod- el. Tn some cases the boat Is actually built too though that is a matter of pleasure with the individual and not one one of the requirements of his edu- cation, which ultimately fits him to de- sign and construct great seagoing "windjammers" and steamers.

nIr.. NIrern Must Hanr.

Kansas City. June 24.-Mrs, Aggie Myers, who was found guilty at Lib erty, Mo, recently of murder in the first degree, was today refused anew trial and was sentenced to be hanged on August 11th.
 An appeal will be taken to the State supreme court Mrs. Myers was convicted with Frank Hottman, who was infatuated with her, of kill ing the woman's husband, Clarence Myers, a printer, at their nome in this city in May, 1904.
 The crime was most cold blooded. Hoffman, who is now under sentence of death for his part in the crime, testified at the woman,s trial that she had urged him to kill Myers, had let him into their room on the night of the murder, had given ner husband a sedative to put him to sleep and then while he cried to her for help she struck him over the. head with bed slat and then slashed his throat and back with scissors and razor. Hott- man had first stunned Myers with a billiard cue.

TANNER ON STAND.
Senator Mftchelrs Law Partner Give.
 His Testimony.

HIS Testimony.
 Portland. Ore. June 24.-The cross examination of Judge A. H. Tanner. the governments star witness in the trial of United States Senator John H Mitchell began today. For several hours Judge Tanner was on the witt ness stand and was subjected to ciose questioning by the attorneys for the defense. some important testimony on behalf of Senator Mitchell apparently being elicited.
 IL was shown by Tanners own evil dence that Mitchell had warned Tan ner not to mix him in any matters before the departments of the govern ment and not to receive any remun- eration for any services the Senator might perform in Washington. Tam ner said that there was no understand ing with Frederick Kribs that the money paid by him to Tanner was in return for the services of Mitchell and that the latter had no direct knowi- edge of the sources of his monthly re- mittances, his share of the earnings of the law firm of Mitchell and Tan ner, which were forwarded to tho Senator at Washington.
 Tanner said under cross examination that never to his knowledge did Mitch ell see a check from Kribs to the firm for services rendered. Tanner testi- fled that at the time of the changing of the original contract of 1897, which occurred in 1901, Mitchell was deeply involved in official business and that he was shortly afterwards taken with a severe illness. Tanner said further that he knew personally of no services rendered by Mitchell before the de- partments, at Washington in regard to the Kribs claim that Mitchell mad not performed for hundreds of other claimants without pay. So far as he was aware, Mitchell might have for forwarded his (Tanner's) letters in re- gard to any claims of the general of flee and returned the information in the replies to him.
 Tanner testified that he had been told that his son would be indicted for perjury if he persisted in his tes- timony before the grand jury but that if he would make clean breast of his transactions and would tell the truth the district attorney would reeo. . sN1d pardon for him.

BpflngheId, O., June 24-W. O. Jackson. of this city, chief inspector of railroads and telegraphs of Ohio returned today from Mentor, where he investigated the Lake Shore wreck.
 That the switch was opened inten- tionally, we know. Whether or not 1t was locked or open. we cannot tell. for reports are meagre. I don't think the speed of the train had any thing to do with the wreck. The number killed was due to the fact that dinner was just over and the men had just gone forward to the smoker. The fast trains are no more liable to accident than others, for they make fewer stops. Many accommodation trains runs as fast between stations as the Twentieth Century"

Government Business Methods.

Washington Post.
 The investigation of the methods of Government bureaus in Washington. by commission appointed by the Presi- dent, should result in Improvements, particularly in devising further safe- guards in the disbursing of money. The Presidents instructions to the commis- sion, calling for a general overhauling of present methods. will be greatly commended. Systems originally effee- tive become loose through long tenure of office by individuals, or through lack of vigilant inspection and supervision. Some of the methods employed in Washington are doubtless anticipated and ineffective. and should be brought up to Ndate. The letter-writing habit the threshing over of insignificant matters in voluminous official corres- pondence, all of which goes of record -is a costly absurdity to which atten- ton is well directed.

ON SECRET MISSION
ROOSEVELT SENDS FRANCIS B
 LOOMS TO EUROPE.
VIII Receive John Paul yones's Body as Special Representative, hut He Is Not to Return With the
 Remnfns.

New York, June 24.-On secret mis- sion for the State Department for which he was commissioned by President Roosevelt, Francis B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary of State. sailed for Southamp- ton today on the steamer Philadelphia. N. Concerning the mission. MT. Loomis would only say: T am not only going as special ambassador to receive Paul Jones's body, but also have been com missioned by the President to perform a secret mission for the State Depart ment while abroad. l must decline positively to state what my mission is. v
 Has 1t anything to do with peacs? he was asked.
 T can say nothing" was his reply.
 Mir. Loomis said he expected that his secret mission would prevent him from returning with the warship squadron which will bring the body of Admiral Paul Jones, as he had expected to do, but that he hoped to return in about month.
 MT. Loomis added that the exercises attending the departure of the body of Admiral Jones from France would probably be held on July 7th or sth Tn the American Church at Paris. General Horace Porter, the retiring ambassa- dor to France. MT. Loomis said, has spent a large amount or ms own luHps in the search and Identification Of the body. This has not been reimbursed by the United States Gee ernment.
 A Mark of Respect.
 Washington, June 24.--The designa- tfon of Francis B. Loomis. Assistant Secretary of State, who sailed from New York to day for Europe, as a spe- cial Ambassador of the United States, formally to receive from the French Government the remains of John Paul Jones. will conflict in no respect with the duties of the American Ambassa- dor to France MT. Mccormick, or with those of the retiring Ambassador, Gen. Horace Porter The appointment of a special ambassador was made as mark of particular respect to the mem ory of the great naval officer and as a tribute of honor to the French Gov ernment for the interest already min ate with the reception of the body. MT Loomis will not return to the Unit ed States with the remains of John Paul Jones. So far as they are con- cerned, his arnbassadorship will ter inmate with the reception of the body and it's transfer to the American squadron.
 He has been commissioned by the President, however, to make an inves- tigation of the business methods or the various diplomatic possibilities of the United States In Europe, with view to bringing about such reforms as may be suggested by the inquiry in connec- ton with his own experience in the

 Governor Folk entertained no doubt of his power to send State troops into St. Louis County should they, in hls opinion, become necessary to cope with the situation. He desires to give the local authorities every chance to en- force the law before taking the situa- tion into his own hands.
 Governor Folk did not regard Sheriff Hoipels statement that the troops might get shot in St. Louis County as very menacing to the troops.
