David BUREAUS, ooachman for Cornelius
N. Bliss, took Mrs. Bliss for a drive yester-
day afternoon. brought her back and re-
turned with the brougham to the stable, at
142 East Thirty-ninth street.
Thomas Hegarty. the groom, and Bur-
haus's son Harry, who lie 10 years old, had
been working around the stable all the
afternoon, 1t was about s o'olock when
BUREAUS drove in. The horses were I'M
hitched and he went upstairs to take of
his livery, His family lived on the third
floor Of the stable. His wife and W
younger children, a boy and a girl, were
at home. He greeted them somewhat
gloomily, and after putting on his working
clothes went downstairs again. Hegarty,
the groom, was cleaning the carriage.
Harry BUREAUS was In the harness room
whistling and now and hen joking with
Hegarty.
The coachman went into the stable and
looked the horses over. After a few min

was on his knees cleaning the back wheels
Of the brougham. His Jack was to Bur-

Albany, March 29.-Former Judge Alton

to examine the State Banking Department.
even II the Senate Finanoe Committee bill
providing for such an investigation is passed
by the Assembly, To-day Assemblyman
j. Mayhem Wainwright received a letter
from Mr.. Parker in which he says that he
would not serve as such a commissions
nde any circumstances
No one seriously believed that eithe r
Mr.. Parker or former Judge Charles f.
Andrews OF Syracuse, who was the second
commissioner named in the bill, would serve
if the Assembly should pass the Senate
bill. The letter from Judge Parker at this
time comes right after the Governor ex-
pressed his opinion that the responsibility
for killing an investigation Of the State
Banking Department would rest with tho
Assembly if the lower house did not pass
the Senate bill.
Mr.. Parker's letter now kills the bill.
Gov. Higgins was not at all disturbed by
Mr.. Parker's declination to serve as a Bank
ing Department investigator. He said;
Il have received no such communication
from Judge Parker, but nave no doubt that
some other Democrat can be found in whom
the people of the State would have equal
confidence"

THE NEW JERSEY MAKES RECORD
battleshlD Averages 10, rs Knots on Four
Hour Endurance Test.

RosToN, March 29.-The new battleship
New Jersey arrived here late this afternoon
with the figures 1918" painted on her
tunnels to denote that she had averaged
that number of knots per hour in her four
noun endurance test to-day, a speed that
puts this warship at the top Of Uncle Sans
vessels OF her class and establishes a new
record.
The conditions were most satisfactory, the
wind being of shore and the sea fiat whom
the great vessel started from Monhegan
Island, Me-, and headed toward Boston
Light this morning under full head OF
steam.
All the way down the coast everything
seemed to favor the New Jersey. Her
engines worked perfectly and the average
number of revolutions Of her screws a
minute was 28,2o7. 1t was figured yester-
day at Rockland that to make the required
10 knots an hour 1895 revolutions we're
necessary, and the extra revolutions made
to-day gave her the excess over the contract
requirements.
For about fifteen minutes to-day the New
Jersey travelled at the rate of 19. 81 knots
an hour, and at one time her speed dropped
down to an average of 1884, knots, but she
exceeded 10 knots an hour for by far the
greater portion of the time.
The Government trial board came ashore
Immediately after reaching Boston Harbor
and several of its members expressed them
selves as much gratifed over the excellent
showing. The Rhode Island, a sister ship,
averaged 1901 knots on her endurance
trial, and the Virginia, another Of the same
type and tonnage, just made the required
speed Of 10 knots.
