Old World Quarrel Breaks Out in New
York City.

New York.-Alleged socialists Sun.
day night made the most riotous DEM
onstration ever seen in Cooper Union,
in determined effort to break up a
meeting OF the Federation of Italian
Societies, called to protest against the
recent action of the Italian govern
ment against the clergy, and the at
tacks to which Cardinal Merry del
Val, the papal secretary Of state, had
been subjected during the agitation.
For twenty-five minutes the disturb
ers, who were Italians, held the po-
lice at bay, and 1t was not until a
police captain with reinforcements
hurried to the rescue of Lieutenant
Powers and eight men detailed to the
the meeting that order was restored
and the meeting permitted to con-
tinue. Nine men, supposed ringlead-
ers, were arrested, and hundred
more beaten by the police and thrown
out into the street.

New Orleans,-About 500 long
shoremen and teamsters went on
strike here on the river front on Mon,

started slowing cotton in vessels
Theh strike was expected, the steam
ship agents having failed to make an
agreement with the cotton crew men.
Other union laborers besides the crew

PATTERN AFTER ENGLAND
IN HANDLING RAILROADS
Congressman Hepburn Says United
States Could Profitably Adopt
English System Of Control of
Stock and Bond Issue.

Washington. Representative Hep
burn Of the Eighth Iowa district, chair.
man OF the house committee on inter.
state and foreign commerce, who has
returned from trip to Europe, in the
course of which he looked into the
English railroads, said that he be-
lieyed this country could profitably
adopt the English system of control
OF stock and bond issue of roads. He
said he expected Legislation along this
line at the coming session of con-
gress. though there would be opposi.
ton based on the idea that congress
has no control over the Instrumental
ties of commerce. He said there was
no speculation in English railroad
securities. He found English invest.
ors concerned over American railroad
securities. He himself did not see
how any one had the courage to in
vest in American railroad stocks, and
laid much of the blame at Harriman's s
door.
In this connection Mr.. Hepburn con
demned the treasury practice of put
ting money into the banks to prevent
alleged money stringencies. He said
this money went to aid New York
spectators. and 1t was nonsense to
talk about the west needing money to
move crops. There is no longer a
crop moving period in the west" said
he. There used to be before farm
ers were so prosperous. Now crops
are moved all the year round"

The "tallow dip" of our grandfathers

after time, till the candle had acquired
the proper thickness. Today they run
hot stearic acid into moulds and make
hundred candles instantaneously.
The 'tallow dip on the market to-
day therefore. would be more accur-
ately described if it were called a

it remains a tallow product. 1t is the
direct lineal descendant Of the "tallow
Dip OF our grandfathers. And it is
still So popular that Just about t2O.-

consumed every year in the candle
factories Of the United States. Al

lous boat. invented by Peter Cooper
Hewitt, which is supported by planes
which glide or skim through the wa

Of the trip 10 Europe to a day and a
quarter at the same time doing away
with most % the danger Of an ocean

Ny first model" Mr. Hewitt told
The Technical World, was entirely
supported by the planes at sixteen
miles an hour: the flotation hull be-
ing entirely out of water at that speed
/ found, too. that the area of the planes
should decrease with the speed for

has only been limited by the propeller
but the craft will gradually improve
with increased size, and the liner of
the future will be practically indie

ton from the waves

tion Of the famous light which bears
his name and Of many devices used on
