second BIRTHDAY
c OF WALDO
g lNAS SUNDAY

Sunday marked the second ami
versary of the Waldo hotel. 1t
opened February 4, 1904, for bust
ness. Owing TO serious illness in
Judge Nathan COTS family there
was no special celebration Of the
day Sunday, Judge Golf being the
owner of the hotel.
The Waldo started out on the
European plan, exclusively. but a
year ago to better meet the demands
of the trade added the American
plan. The business has increased
more than one hundred percent since
then, not particularly because of
adding the American plan but rather
on account of improved general bust
ness conditions in this section, and
today it is doing very paying bust
ness.
Clarksburg takes infinite pride in
this magnificent hotel. as its equal
is not found in the state. and in but
few Of the larger cities west of the
Allegheny mountains. In this con-
nection it is not out Of place to call
attention 10, the fact that this great
hotel has dohean is doing Il great
service to Clarksburs. In days

THE EDISON STORAGE BATTERY.

Mr.. Edison is convinced that his efforts to
produce storage battery that is much better
han those now in use have at last been crowned
Win success. His first attempt-or, at least
one OF his earliest attempts-to find a subst-
tute for the cell In which lead plates and acid
are the essential elements dates back six or
seven years. He then placed his reliance on
copper and cadmium. Copper at that time was
abundant and reasonably cheap, but cadmium
was and still Is rare metal. Owing to the
scarcity Of at least one of the materials which
ne needed. and possibly to other causes, Mr.
Edison began a fresh line Of experiment He
worked for a time with STEEL nickel and an
alkaline solution. SO well satisfied was he with
the result of this venture that four years ago
last spring he allowed DR.. A E. Kennedy an
expert OF national reputation, to present de-
scription of the battery to the American So
ciety Of Electrical Engineers. A good deal of
talk followed regarding the great revolution
that was to be effected by the invention in
question, but the reform itself has been re-
peatedly. though perhaps not indefinitely post
poned.
Recently Mr.. Edison has been trying to see
what he could accomplish with cobalt It's
chemical properties having apparently proved
TO be all that he could desire he cast about
for an adequate supply of it Recently dis
covered deposits in this country and Canada
promised TO meet his requirements. though
the process Of extraction from the ore has
hitherto made cobalt rather expensive Mr. Ed
ison. having found new way to separata tho
metal from its mineral associa tes. feels that
the last difficulty has disappeared. and evinces
great elation over the prospect. Until he can
build shops for the manufacture Of cobalt bst
teries, he says, he will not be ready tn rnaat
the popular demand which he expects for them
but that cause of delay ought not to operate for
more than five or six months

respondent Says.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir, At the recent hearing before the Rapid
Transit Commission on the proposition 10 build an
elevated loop connecting the bridges in Manhattan
ex-C,ontroller Grout advanced an argument for the
elevated loop which have not seen published. but
which seemed to me most cOnvincngly In favor or
the Immediate construction OF the connecting ee-
waited road through Delaney street
He said: "If you draw limo almost due east
from CITY Hall In Manhattan through Brooklyn. 10
will be found that nearly every point north OF that
line can be directly and quickly reached from
City Hall, Manhattan. over Williamsburg Bridge
route by elevated road than by the present ele-
waited roads over the Brooklyn Bridge"
Mr. Grout declared further: Even II the ele-
waited road running down to City Hall from the
Williamsburg Bridge did not connect with the
CITY Hall, Manhattan. it would Immediately re-
lieVe the crush at the Brooklyn Bridge by divert
ing the north Brooklyn traffic to the Williamsburg
Bridge route. The elevated road over the Williams
burg Bridge through Delaney street could be
built and connected up with existing roads next
started at once. Unless something IS done at once
for Brooklyn in this matter the MoIAdoo tunnels
and the Pennsylvania tunnel under the North
River will take the congested population TO New

THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.

It is gratifying to know that Assistant Sec
retary Newberry, after personal inspection of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard has found himself
in accord with the Rodgers board, which re-
Gently reported in favor of making a number
of improvements there Mr.. Newberry's utter
ances ENCOURAGE the hope that the Navy De-
partment will recommend to Congress the pur-
chase of sufficient land to enlarge the present
yard materially. and also the construction OF
a new drydock.
The United States now has only three docks
on the Atlantic Coast capable of handling its
considered but the semi annual cleaning of the
hulIs of these vessels, no doubt the operations
could be so timed that existing facilities would
be adequate. Unfortunately, however, provision
must be made for the repairs rendered neces-
sary by accidents and accidents cannot be per-
suaded to conform to any schedule. Common
sense demands that the government should be
better prepared for the emergencies of both
peace and war. Besides, battleshps Of greater
size than any already in commission or being
built have been projected by the department.
and failure to furnish one or more docks largo
enough to accommodate them would be the
height of folly.
1t Will not be necessary to occupy at once the
whole tract which it Is proposed to annex to
the Brooklyn yard, but the purchase can prob
ably be made more advantageousy If the gov
ernment does not make two bites OF cherry.
The essential thing is to procure a site for the
new dock and to begin construction as soon as
possible The erection of new shops, the reor-
ganiZatfon of the pier system and other needed
changes can be undertaken more deliberately.
