sued here every year than in any other
metropolis in the world. Illinois has
been at the head OF the list among the

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT

The 'oid commodore than any Of the

Commodore Cornelius II gets his en-

more than an ornamental officer He
IS now hitting out his big sloop, Rainbow.

that Commodore Vanderbilt has il In

NOVEL ON ENGLISH WAR
EXCITING GERMAN NAVY

BERLIN, Jan. PA new book en-
titled 'Beowulf-a vision of a naval
oThCer"-has created a sensation here.
There is no doubt that the work is
written by a naval expert of high rank,
and many think 10 recognize il in the
style of Count Ernest Won ReventIow.
IT proves in the most convincing man
ner that a war between England and
Germany would be sheer madness. 1t
would result IN total destruction of
the commerce of the two countries
and. though Great Britain night crush
the German navy. neither would be
able 10 win a decisive victory.

An All-Round Menace.

For the purpose of presenting the
matter in a sane light l have gathered
together the testimony Of hospital
boards, showing tia menace to health
and of river men regarding the menace
10 navigation.
y have statements OF superintend-
ents OF hospitals and allied institu-
tions. strong Endorsement from the
board OF health. statements from some
Of New Yorks most noted physicians
and editorials la the medical journals
and daily press. all pointing ouc the
III effect these whistles have on sick
people.
In addition 10 these, the Marine
Journal has taken up the matter sbe-
cause OF the menace TO navigation.
Il wish il were in my power TO
make everybody know the misery these
whistles cause. The poor, sick people
in the hospitals who should be kept
as quiet and peaceful as possible, are
compelled TO lie in their beds day and
night and be narrowed with this addi-
tional trouble. II is a genuine perse-
cution, and l hope some Congressional
action Will result"

then a signal would certainly be neces-
sary.
IF The captains OF these boats only
kept TO the signals required by law
that would be bad enough, but the
scows coming up the harbor start blow
ing their whistles two miles down and
continue right up TO their piers. This
is TO wake up their crews and warn
them to make ready to get out.
These snFieSs can be heard al a dis
tanee of thirteen and q half miles. SO
one can readily understand how the
sick people Of New York are molest-
ed. l have the testimony Of captains
OF scows and of river boats saying
that the multiplicity Of signals tends
TO promote collisions. This in itself
should be sufficient to bring about some
sort Of reform.
The Washington times., 1906-01-27

Mrs Isaac J.. Rice. of New York, who
has come 10 Washington for the pur-
pose of obtaining relief from the un-
necessary blowing Of whistles in New
York harbor. is having a stiff fight but
manifestly means to succeed in gaining
her point
The chief difficulty with Mrs. Rice s
plan is the fact that the authorities or
New York city and the Federal Gov
ernment are playing a sort OF game OF
battIedOr and shuttIecOck- In New York
the office Of the corporation counsel tells
Mrs. Rice that there is no statute OF the
State which regulates the blowing OF
steam whistles. She was told the only
way to remedy the evil was to appeal 10
Washington This she has done and
Washington tells her the authority Is
in New York
Between the two Mrs. Rice is interest
ing the New York delegation in Con
gress and when the current hearings
before the board of supervising steam
boat inspectors are over. it is barely
possible that Congressional action will
be taken.
Ear-Splitting Signals.
In speaking of the case today Mrs.
Rice said:
We are not making a fight against
the series OF signals required by law. but
against the ear-splitting and continuous
blow ing Of convenience signals.
1T is in the interest Of between 1900
and "A 600 sick and dying patients in the
various hospitals OF New York that we
are making such strong effort TO have
this nuisance abated.
Tug boat captains who nave been on
the river the greater part OF their life
declare their signals to each other are
directed for the purpose OF safety.
Everybody knows that If two boats are
approaching each other both will go 10
the right. If ANYTHING has happened
that one could not pursue this course

To Discontinue Scenic Limited

The Scenic Limited, Nos. 10 and
20. will be discontinued on Sept. 30,
a week from next Sunday Major
Hooper says in a letter to Agent
Gamble concerning the Scenic:
''These trains, established at the
beginning of the tourist season, met
with instant favor on the part of the
travelling public. and their operation
during the summer has developed
so great demand for train service
of this character through the Rocky
mountains that it has been decided by
our management to resume the service
on the lst of May, 1907.
Although these trains have been
operated on faster schedule than
ever before attempted through the
Rocky mountains, so successful has
been the operation that they have ar
rived at terminals late on FIVE or sil
occasions only
1t is said that the Scenic received 81
per cent more business than the man
