Republicans get large profits from such prae-
tees. There will be no effective legislation

In a seaway off Cape Henry on Monday and
Wednesday of this week was an experience that
the officers and crews of the United States bat
tleship Iowa and the collier Abarenda will not
be likely to forget for some time. On the first
day IL took several hours in smooth water TO
prepare for a real .rial of the apparatus which
is an English device known as the Machrow-
Cameron express" transporter.
Eighty Of the Iowas crew were transferred in
boats to the collier. A towline was to the
Iowa. and the conveyor wire rope adjusted over
wheels in the tower OF the transporter and the
bow of the warship The distance between the
vessels when the machine was in action was TO
rbe $50 feet Then the "jachies" attacked the
coal in the colliers hold, filling 200-pound bags
and hooking them to a trolley rail. which fed
the machine.
The navy trial board. consisting OF Captain
Adolph Mark. Commander V. s. Nelson and
Naval Constructor Frank Zahm, after consulta-
ton with Captain Henry McCrea, OF the Iowa,

day. hoping for a full eight-hour trial the next
day, but half gale from the northward de-

had kept the -tacfies' busy for fifteen minutes
taxing away the coal from the conveyor but
the inventor declared the machinery would not
work. and that il TOO dangerous when the
counterweight in the tall tower the collier
threatened to break loose and smash things
The device consists OF a tower ten feet In
diameter and siXty-seven feet high, installed IN
the stern Of a collier. An endless wire con-
veyor rope. one blight OF which passes around
an eight-ton counterweight inside the tower
ana the other around wheel on a tripod on
the warship's bow. conveys the coal IN bags
across the water, the warship being IN tow Of
the collier and Just $50 feet astern.
Washington, Dec. 21--Captain Mark, of the
navy, who headed the board which has been
conducting tests at Norfolk and off the Capes
OF the Chesapeake with the device intended TO
coal naval vessels at sea, returned to Washing
ton to-day and reported verbally that the ex-
periments had resulted in failure. In fairly
smooth water the device operated 10 perfection
In conveying coal from the collier to the war
ship at the rate OF seventy-ive tons an hour, or
fifty tons an hour more than was expected of
the device. but in a seaway off the Capes the
coal bags were thrown completely away from
the conveying line by the rocking Of the ships,
and therefore the device failed TO meet the
needs OF the navy.
