QUEEN OF BATTLESHIPS.
The New Jersey Maintalns Her Fine Speed
Record.

Boston, (SpeciaD The performance
of the battleship New Jersey in main
tanning speed of 1918 knots an hour
in four-hour endurance test off the
New England coast, coupled with her
remarkable speed over measured mile
at Rockland, Me-, at a Io4Sknot- an
hour gait, places this product of the
Fore River Shipbuilding Company at
the head OF all American-built battle
ships, so far as speed is concerned.
1t was ascertained OH her standardi-
cation trial off Rockland that an aver
age revolution of her propelle.s OF
1864 per minute was sufficient to drive
the I5,ooo-ton battleship through the
water at her contract speed OF 10 knots
an hour Thursday her average revolt
tons per minute reached I26.2o7, and
from these figures she made an average
of 1918 knots an hour, compared with
1901 made by the Rhode Island, and
10 by the Virginia, sister ships, at their
trials, few months ago.
AT one time the New Jerseys speed
reached 1928 knots an hour for a
period of IS minutes, while her lowest
for similar period was 1860.
The weather conditions were favor
able, although in these endurance trials
the condition of the wind and sea do
not figure, the only question being as
to whether the vessel is able to maintain
the required number of revolutions a

This includes the union men, the large
number of boys ineligible for membership
and the men who are not members OF the
union, but who are expected to remain
idle as long as the union men.
This leaves 1900 men who are permit
ted to continue at work to prevent the
mines from flooding.
The gates of the collieries were i1yit-
ingly open, but no one passed through
them except the men required to keep
the collieries from being damaged and
the fire bosses, foreman and other petty
officials of the companies. The whistles
blew at the usual time, but the only
miners in sight were those who IN their
home clothes were posted as plckets
about the streets leading to the collier1es.
If they expected to use moral suaslon
to prevent men trying to mine coal they
were not busy, for there was no occasion
to do So Later in the day men visited
the colleries freely to turn in the time OF
their labors SO that the accounts for the
past two weeks could be made up. The
company officials did not question these
miners as to whether or not they wanted
to work, and the union officials did not
watch to see whether they returned from
the collieries.
Only one case of violence was reported.
Early in the morning someone threw a
large stone over the fence of colliery
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at
Duryea. 1t struck Waterman on the
head and knocked him senseless. Other
watchmen ran to the gates, but,there was

coming aliens is increased from " to $5,

reason of Affections of mind or body.
The present law provides for such hnes
only in case of aliens afflicted with loath-
some or contagious diseases.
The bill adds TO the classes OF Aliens
now excluded by law all imbeciles, tee
ble-minded persons, persons who are
mentally or physically defective, such de-
feet being of nature which may affect
the immigrants ability to earn living I;
children under II years, unless accom-

HIS HEART HAD SLIPPED.
Unusual Experience OF Hungarian Who DIED
Of Pleurisy.

Buffalo, N. Y, (SpeciaD Andrew
Joe. Hungarian, 40 years old, died at
his home, in North Tonawanda, after
having lived for several weeks with his
heart shifted to the right side. Death
was not due to the unusual location Of
the organ, for the heart performed its
functions in a normal manner, but to
pleurisy. This disease caused an accu-
mutation of pus, and it is believed that
the collecting of this pus forced the
heart from the left to the right side
of the chest. An operation was per-
formed at the Buffalo General Hospital
two weeks ago TO remove the pus, but
is was unsuccessful. Had he lived, the
physicians say, his heart would have
given him no trouble; neither would it
have shifted back to its normal position.

Lens, France (By Cable). = Thirteen
of the 1900 miners who were entombed
in the coal mines at Courrieres 20 days
ago were taken from the mine alive
and well Friday They had lived on hay
found in one of the underground sta
bles and the morsels of food which they
took into the mine with them nearly
three weeks ago. All attempts to rescue
the entombed men had been abandoned
more than two weeks ago. Five or SIX
others are believed to be alive in the
mine
A gang or salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see a group of miners. terri
bly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear form remote part
of Pit No. 2. The strongest OF the party
said they had broken out OF distant
gallery, where they had been entombed
since the disaster.
The rescued men were taken up the
elevator, but were unable to see, owing
to the dazzling daylight. They all asked
for news of relatives and friends and
wished to home Immediately.
The doctors, however, prevented them
with difficulty from SO doing. Later
crowds besieged the mines in the hope
of hearing of further escapes, necessltat-
ing the employment of strong police
force and attachments of troups to main
tain order.
1t is said that others of the entombed
miners are alive and about to be brought
out, their signals having been heard.
One of the men rescued, man named
Nemy, said that for the first eight days
the party ate the bark off the timbering
of the mine. Later they found the de-
composed body of horse, which they
cut up and ate with hay. The survivors
brought up portions of the decomposed
horse meat.
Neamy, who was the most lucid OF the
miners who escaped, graphically describ-
ed their imprisonment as follows:
"After the explosion / grouped my
way about, stumbling over bodies and
seeking refuge from the gases. | found
some comrades sheltered in remote
niche. We ate earth and bark for eight
days, and then these provisions gave out

bodies seeking for an outlet from our

time again. We found some hay, which
we ate, and two days after we found a
dead horse, which we cut up and ate with
the hay and bark. We suffered most
from want of water Finally, we became
desperate and separated into three par
ties and communicated with each other
by shouts.
Last night we felt draft of fresh
air, which finally guided us to an open

The families of the miners are intense
ly indignant. They claim that salvage
operations were never undertaken in the
part of the mine from which Neny and
his companions escaped, and disorders
are expected The most severe repres-
sive measures have been taken. Crowds
of women denounce the directors and en-
gineers, crying: eff you had given us
tools we would have saved our own hus-
