CHICAGO RIVER TUNNELS.
Time for Lowering Passed, but It
May Be Extended.

A letter has been received at the War
Department from Walter Fisher, special
counsel for the city of Chicago, calling at
tention to an ordinance passed by the coun-
Gil and accepted by the city street railway
companies. looking to the beginning of
work upon the depression of the tunnels
under the Chicago river. Mr.. Fisher says
that the companies have already begun to
electrify the lines, and as soon as that part
of the work is complete the lowering of the
tunnels will begin.
Secretary Taft issued an order April q
extending until July l the time allowed by
law for the removal of these distractions
to navigation. 1t Aill now be necessary
to secure a further extension. and the city
authorities will be so advised today. In his
order, the Secretary said that If there is
any real evidence of an intention to comply
with the law In beginning preliminary
work. he would not do as he had threat
ened. and lay the matter before the United
States district attorney with a view TO the
beginning of legal proceedings against the
city roads Now 1t remains for the depart
ment to decide whether the statement OF
facts made by the special counsel amounts
to compliance with the original order.
Meanwhile more formal application for
an extension is expected.

STEAMERS FOR THE LAKES.
They Constituted the Bulk of Con-
struction in the Past Year.

During the fiscal year ended June 20 / 1853
merchant vessels were built and officially
numbered by the bureau OF navigation of
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
measuring 421,744 gross register tons, COM
pared with 1901 of 325, 213 gross tons for
the fiscal year 1905. OF the new tonnage
3S4 vessels of 1880 gross tons were un-
rugged barges and canal boats.
The years increase has been entirely in
steel steamers on the Great Lakes number
Ing % of 23I,124 gross tons, compared with
% of 102, 497 gross tons for 1908. The for
mer year of greatest lake construction was
1901, when 175 vessels of all types of 1859 OS5
gross tons were built. Three steamers over
100 gross tons were added this year to the
lake fleet. the u. Pierpont Morgan 7,161
gross tons, being the largest.
ON the seaboard only steamers for for
eign trade have been built, Mexico" and
Merida 6,20I gross tons each, under mail
contract to Cuba and Mexico and built to
replace two steamers sold to the govern
ment line to the 1sthmus of Panama. Only
one other ocean steamer over 1900 tons was
built. Remaining large steamers are for
ferry, river or bay service, including four
for New York's city-owned ferry system.

KRAGs BOUGHT FOR NAVY.
Funds Lacking to Provide the New
Army Rifle.

The chief of ordnance of the navy has re-
Gently been under the necessity of purchas-
Ing 1000 Krag Jorgensens for use on ship
board, a rather unusual circumstance. con-
sidering the fact that this type of gun has
been officially declared obsolete in the
army. The explanation is to be found in
the lack Of funds to supply the entire navy
with the new army rife, or Springfield of
1903. Already there are on shipboard the
Krag and the old type Lee rife, and it is
regarded as inadvisable to have in use at
the same time three kinds of small arms.
with all sorts of possibilities of confusion
In the handling of ammunition for them.
Therefore. not being able to buy the 25,000
rifles of the 1903 pattern, which would be
necessary to arm the sailors and marines,
the naval authorities were obliged to buy
the Krag in limited number to make good
the present deficiency. This decision has
led TO the issue of a special order by Sec
rotary Bonaparte, temporarily annulling the
new code of small arm instructions which
was about to be applied.

PLANS FOR BATTLEsHIPs.
Will Be Heard by the
Secretary of the Navy.

The report of the board OF construction
of the navy, which unanimously reported
against the acceptance of bids based on
the use of turbines for the new battieships
to replace the screws, has been sent to the
President, who expressed wish TO see the
conclusions of the board. Before announc-
ing his decision on the subject Secretary
Bonaparte will hear arguments from all
parties interested who submitted plans and
estimates for the new ships. He has in
vited them to present their views In favor
of their own plans and criticism of other
plans Wednesday, July IL. One of the in
teresting features of the estimates sub
mitted is the fact that those of the Mare
Island Navy Yard are less than those of
the Brooklyn yard, although nearly every
naval appropriation bill contains clause
giving the Pacific coast four per cent adj
vantage when bids are submitted by prl-
vate yards.
Representative Maynard of Virginia has
called upon Secretary Bonaparte and rep
resented that in view of the proposed gath
ering of all the navies of the world IN
Hampton Roads next year it would be I'M
fortunate If there was not under con-
struction en- those waters one of the large
battleships for the navy. The secretary
has received petition presented through
the Brooklyn Eagle and numerously signed
asking that battleship be constructed in
the New York yard.

PULLING SIGNATURES.
Department Official Suggests Using a
Rubber Stamp.

Business men and officials whose cor
respondence is extensive" said Post Office
Department official to a Star man, are
daily confronted by question which is one
of the most annoying in the correspondence
world-the illegibility of the signatures at
tached to the communications of some of
their correspondents.
Many men in signing their names to
their letters appear to take diabolical de-
light in constructing the signature in as
illegible, scrawly manner possible; the
firm name or Individual signatures to many
letters received at the department, and in
the usual course of business elsewhere, be-
ing absolutely unreliable, and were it not
for the departmental letter head which iden-
titles the official, the firm or individual
caption, reply could not be made
Il will offer suggestion which will be
found of value to the individual letter
writer and the general public as well:
Since ehirographists claim that after
certain age in life it is quite useless to at
tempt to reform an individuals handwriting.
these illegible signatures will not be cor
rected by their authors. This class of
writers owe 1t to their correspondents to
adopt the plan Of affixing the correct name
with a small rubber stamp to the letter
close by the written signature. 1 have re-
ceived number of letters thus signed re-

Court Fines and Rebukes Defendant.

ut is an outrage that five able-bodied
men should go into a womans house and
take furniture out without warrant of law
said Judge Kimball in the Police Court
this morning when William S. Hourenden
was arraigned upon an information aIleg-
ing assault.
The prosecuting witness in the case was
Henrietta Franklin, a colored woman re-
siding at 49, N street northwest. When
she took the stand she alleged that Hou-
renden came to her house with four other
men and wagon and that when her child
opened the door the furniture man came
In. She alleged she heard him coming and
partially closed the door, but that he showed
the door open and threw her half way
across the room.
Hourenden stated that he opened the
door leading to the woman's room, but
that he used no force In getting the five
paid for.
The admission of the furniture dealer
caused Judge Kimball to warn him that if
he wanted to recover the goods he must
seek civil remedy for redress. He then
entered fine of $40 in the case, which was
paid.

MAY REPAIR THE CULGoA.

ordered stricken from the list some time
ago when it was proposed to sell the ves-
sci. The Culgoa was purchased at Manila
during the Spanish-American war, being
then engaged in the Australian meat trade
The NAVY has been trying to sell her, but
has been unable to obtain a fair price be-
cause she lacked American register. An eff
fort was made during the last session OF
Congress to pass bill granting her Ameri-
can register, ii being stated that she would
bring SJo.oCp more If that could be done
but the bill did not pass. 1t is now the
intention of the department to repair the
Culgoa and see il some use cannot be made
of her. She is at the Brooklyn navy yard
