 Loading Rifles Mounted on Five
 Electrically Controlled Turrets--TOr-
 pedo Tubes and Rapid Fire Guns.
 Washington. Feb. 6.-Senator Hale to-day presented to the senate the de- tailed plans for the big battleship which it is proposed shall be built as the equal of any fighting vessel now afioat or planned. The general inform. ation as to the dimensions of the pro posed ship were made public several months ago, but very little has been known as to the strength of the bat teries. This information now will be given to the public, including all for eign powers, if they desire it, in the form of a public document.
 The plans call for a battleship 5lS S-4 feet long, with beam of S5 feet and ? 5-S inches, and draft of 29 feet inches with every thing on board. The arma- ment will consist of main battery of ten 12-inch breech-loading rifles, mounted on five electrically controlled turrets on the center line; two forward above the forecastle deck, the second firing over the first; two aft of the main deck on the same level and one amidships. firing over the two after turrets. There are to be two submerg- ed torpedo tubes. The second battery will consist of IA 5-inch rapid firing guns, four S-pounder saluting guns, four 1-pounder, semi-automatic, two g. inch field pieces and two machine guns of 80 caliber.
 The secondary battery of fourteen D. inch guns will be located on the gun deck, forming two broadside batteries of seven guns each; the corner guns will be equipped for head and stern firing respectively. Smaller guns will be located in commanding positions so as to give large unobstructing range of fire.

DIR sIMPSoA,S TRIAL.
Defense nnd Prosecution Both Finish
 Summing Up.

Riverhead, L. l., Feb. 6.-The defense and the prosecution finished summing up in the trial Of Dr. James W. Simp- son, who is accused of having killed his father-in-law, Bartley T. Horner, tonight The court will charge the jury to-nhorrow morning. and verdict is expected during the day. The de- fendant claims the shooting was acci- dental.
 In his address to the jury counsel for the defense said the prosecution was the result of conspiracy instigated by Mrs. Simpson, who wants to rid her self of her husband, and so, with $15,000 of his money in the bank, she has him clapped into jail and then goes out driving on Sunday with another man.
 During the summing up of the pros ecutor the widow of Horner, who was seated in the court room, wept so free ly that the defendants counsel request ed the court to have her suppress her emotion. This, however, the court de- clined to do. The prosecution asked for verdict of murder in the first de- gree.

 It is stated officially that beginning next June, the whole passenger service between Stamford and New York will be equipped electrically. During the present year the imp ortant bridges be- tween New York and Boston will have been rebuilt for the heavier train loads on the system. The longest of them, the bridge at Lyme, will be completed by the first of June. The bridge over the Thames river has been shown to be of such strength that it will not, for the present, be rebuilt. This extensive rebuilding of bridges, upon the main system of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, have included the bridges at Cos Cob, Vest port, Housatonic river, The Connecticut river at Lyme, Warehouse Point, Man tic. Shaw's Cove, and Mystic. On the Poughkeepsie bridge thus far 50 per cent of the repairs have been made and material is ready for the remainder,

Consolidated Negotiating for Sale, it ia
 Said, of Marine Business.
 A report has been i'll circulation that the New England Navigation company which is controlled by the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, has sold out to the Morse system of coats line navigation. Inqlii- " as to the matter at the offices of the New Haven road yesterday brought out official denial of any such accomplished sale, but on the question of negotiations to that end, the officials of the company were reticent.
 There are trustworthy grounds for saying that an offer from the Morse combination and its head has been re- ceived for the New England naviaation lines and property. The offer, 1t is pn- derstood, runs up into the tens of rnil-a lions of dollars, and if four or five times the amount which was offered for near- ly the same property less than three years ago.

Notwithstanding competition it has been an extremely profitable sys- tenn to the owning railroad corporation, not merely in direct dividends. but in traffic, fed to and received from the in terlor railroad lines of the controlling corporation.
 The New England company is capi~ talized at $500O,000. It has steamnoats under contract to be used in the new outside line to Boston, and to cost S5.- 0OO,OOO In addition the company owns more than twenty sound steamers, most of them of large size, besides terminal and wharf properties of great value.
 It is surmised here that the nego- t:ations were brought about by the re- cent purchase of the Maine steamship line by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company, as well as

FOR MORE LIBERAL SUNDAY
RADICAL CHANGES PROPOAED
 IN THE BAY STATE.
Report of Special Committee of the egislature-Unanimou For n Law Permitting Religious and Charitable Associations to Present Amusements on the sabbath-.InnOcent Games and Pastimes Also Sanctioned.


 Pastimes Also Sanctioned.
 Boston, Feb. 6--Radical changes in the statutory laws relatine to the ob- servance of the Sabbath are recom- men1ed by the special committee ap- pointed by the last legislature to revise the Sunday statutes. which submitted it's report at the state house to-day. The Sunday laws recently formed the subject of a bitter controversy between District Attorney John B. Moran and Police Commissioner stephen O'Meara, of the city of Boston.
 In a general way, the report favors a freer use of Sunday by the people, with more liberties with reference to outdoor games and pastimes.
 The committee is unanimous that the law permitting religious and charitable associations to present amusements on Sunday for religious and charitable purposes, and under which seventy-five per cent of the proceeds passes to the charity, is imperative and ineffective and often leads to hypocrisy and fraud and recommendation is made that this part of the statutes be repealed. On the subject of Sunday games and other pastimes the committee is unan- imous in its conclusion that innocent pastime on field or lawn is no more dangerous to public morals than boat ing, sailing, driving or automobiling. to which no objection is now raised, and is much more to be desired than loung- 1 ing or lettering during the leisure hours of the day.
 In connection with the decision on Sunday games, however, the committee reported adversely upon bill intended to authorize athletic events by United States seamen at Provlncetown )n Sundays. The committee declare that, if their report is not accepted rights l which are denied citizens of the com- monwealth should not be granted to others.
 In connection with Sunday work, the committee recommends that the manu- fracture and sale of foods dealt in by bakers, that the manufacture and sale of ice cream, the delivery of pershable food products. the sale and delivery of flowers up to il a. n1., and the handling and removing of theatrical scenery up to Ii a. ln., all should be permitted on Sunday.
 1 Representative Mellen, of Worcester, offered supplementary report express ing the opinion that the whole ques- tion of Sunday laws should be submit l ted to the people.
