RECORDS NOW THE LUSITANIA,S.
Takes From Her Sister Ship Her Lately
Won LaurelS.

But for several hours of fog and rough
seas on the last day of her splendid run
from Queenstown the Cunarder Lusitania
would, her commander believes, have
carved more than an hour of the record
Of her sister ship, the Mauretania. As
it was, she beat three records, all held by
the Mauretania. She averaged "a .sS knots,
as against the Mauretanias "a 4.s6: she made
the swiftest time over the long course of
1880 miles. days 20 hours and minutes,
and she made the best days run, cal miles
Her daily runs were so miles ito Daunt's
Rock, cal, 621, 827, 803 and from noon
until she passed the Kghtship, sas. A
feature of the ships progress was almost
utter absence of vibration.
When the Lusitania returns to England
she will go into drydock and be fitted with
two four bladed propeilers to take the place
of the two three bladed forward screws.
1t is stated that these new propellers have
been designed to reduce to a hardly ap-
preciable minimum the vibration, or pull
sation, as the officials of the line prefer
to call it. They may increase her speed
a bit.
Among the Lusitanias passengers were
the Earl Of Itoslyn, who was recently di-
vorced by his wife and who was on the
ships list as Mr.. St, Clair Sir Daniel

of the Temple University of Philadelphia,

CUBAN COURT AGAINST TAFT.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
HAVANA, June 12-The decision Of the
Supreme Court in the case of the Havana
Bond and Trust Company's appeal from the
decision Of Gov. Magoon regarding the
issue Of bonds for tho construction Of the
Cienfuegos aqueduct, which the city pro.
posed to ISSUE and which Gov. Magoon
declared would be illegal, declares that
the action of the cynntom;enio in resembling
the Reilly contract was legal.
This decision conflicts with the recent
instructions from Washington to Gov.
Magoon to proceed with the Reilly contract
under the supervision of the Department Of
Public Works
The Roosevelt-Taft correspondence re-
garding the Genfuegos matter has been
published here and has aroused serious
criticism. The general opinion now is that
the matter should be held up until after
the municipal elections on August 8. Any
attempt now to force the contract on the
city in accordance with the new plan will
undoubtedly result in serious trouble and
will materially compiicate the local situa-
ton and cause much embarra ssment to
tae Government.
Some Of the newspapers here say that
Secretary Taft is infringing upon Cuban
constitutional rights and is taking an un-
just course for the purpose of serving his
own political ends.

Securities and Banking Company, which
went to smash in the winter of 1905 and

induce people to take small steel savings
banks for their savings, which the company
accepted as deposits, A great number Of
poor people did and were caught when
the company went under. The assets have
dwindled to almost nothing and the directors
could not be sued, as the courts said they
had simply erred in Judgment in directing
the affairs Of the company.

uance OF the Dutohess County Fair on
account OF the passage Of the eanti-racetrack
betting bills. Three of the principal officers
of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society
have announced that the loss Of State
revenues due to the repeal of the Percy
Gray bill is fatal to the prospects OF the
fair and that they will vote to abandon
it this fall.

fident that the loss of State revenues by
agricultural societies is absolute. direct

Is Unconstitutional The Percy Gray bill
did not appropriate State funds, but simply
authorized the distribution OF the tax ON
racing tracks.
The future Of the Hudson River Driving
Park, which is owned by Jacob Rupert,
the New York brewer is also affected by
the racing bills. Mr.. Rupert Is here to-

although probably there will be not a few
extremists in the procession.
The route of the parade will be from the
Victoria Embankment to Albert Hall. 1t
is hoped by the friends of woman suffrage
that it will be an orderly and rational politi-
cal gathering. The fact that such promi-
nent and cultured women as Mrs. M. G
Fawcett. Lady Onslow. Lady Frances
Balfour and Miss Ashton. Ambassador
Bryce's sster-in-law, are among the leaders
Of the manifestation is tied as sufficient
guarantee of it's serious purpose. Mrs.
Fawcett. writing to the press to urge women
Of all classes to join the procession, says:
"Since the Premier's prom nounoement
that any electoral reform concerning
women must have behind it the strong
and undoubted support Of the women Of
the country it has become the duty of oil
women believing the question to be one
of paramount importance TO lay aside
differences OF opinion and to unite in a
common demand for suffrage"
The promoters are looking to having a
following of at least 10000 in the process
sion in the streets, while they are confident
that Albert Hall will be field with interested
listeners. 1t was originally intended that
Mrs. Fawcett, as president OF the union,
and group Of other bluestockings should
head the parade. but they will forego the
honor in favor Of eminent woman suffra-
gists from the United States who are now
here. Consequently tho leading carriages
will contain Anna. Shaw. Miss Anthony
and Mesdames McCuloch. Stewart and
DR.. Medley. There will be a contingent
from Ireland. besides delegates from the

In any legislation to amend the cleo
tion laws this winter, there should be
one provision to prevent or to punish
carelessness in transmitting official re-
turns. The exasperating slowness of
the count with the call of each name
on each ticket and the checking
on the tally sheets is bad enough,
but when this process has dragged
along all night and most of the sue
ceeding day, it is adding insult TO in
jury to have the election board fade
from view, carrying the record with
them and failing to produce it for
days, as was the case in Morris county,
where even on Friday the records had
not reached the official channel. This
was only one instance. There were
others where the tally sheets and poll
books were waiting until election Off
GERS got good and ready to turn them
in. There should be means for cor
recting such neglect Jersey City
