FAILS IN FIRST TEST.
Cruiser North Cardinals Screws Only
Makes III Revolutions.

Rockland, Me. Jan. 6.-The new ar
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock CO., on her screw standard
ization trial today failed to make the
necessary number of revolutions to
maintain her contract speed Of % knots
on any of the IA runs over the meas
ured mile course, according to unofti-
cial information. This was understood
to be due to a handicap. No official
report on the speed was permitted to
be given out
AS a result of today's trial 1t was
found that her propellers must make
119 revolutions per minute to enable
her to Cttain speed of % knots. Ow-
ing to unsatisfactory communication
between the engine and fire rooms. ow-
ing to recent order of the navy de-
partment that the four fire rooms be
tightly sealed. the cruiser was not
pushed to her limit and the greatest
number of revolutions per minute was
III, which fell short of giving the re-
quired speed.
1t is considered probable, however,
that on the 4-hOur run at sea tomorrow.
which after slowing down for six hours
will be followed by a 24hour run, end
ing at Hampton Roads. the cruiser will
better her required speed.
Selected coal was not used. There
was very little vibration and no acct
dents.
The anchor test was satisfactory as
far as the contractors were concerned,
although there were one or two bitches
in the handling Of the anchors.

Is That Two Men Were
In Whitmore Murder.
Police Interview Another Ac-
quaintance Of Woman.
WhItmore Will Be Arralgned Today
on Murder Charge.

New York, Jan. 6.-Evidence UNI
earthed in the case of Mrs. Helen A.
Whitmore, whose body was found in
the La.npblack pond near Harrison. n.
j., leads the police today to the belief
that two men were involved In the
murder of the woman and that one Of
the men had good knowledge of the
neighborhood where the body was
found Theodore Whitmore, husband
Of the swamp victim, was under a
severe examination all day, and al
though he frequently gave way to
tears he stoutly maintained that he
knew nothing of his wife's murder.
Whitmore has retained Alexander
Simpson Of Jersey City as counsel.
The Brooklyn detectives today close
questioned Harry Hendrickson. who is
held as a witness in the case. He de-
clared that he had an engagement with
Mrs Whitmore on Christmas night but
failed to keep it.
Caleb Evans, time clerk on the
Third Avenue Elevated Railroad. who
was arrested yesterday in connection
with the murder, was discharged In
police court today. He admitted hav-
ing made certain remarks but said
they were not true.
After a long examination of the hus-
hand Of the murdered woman, Judge
Branagan announced tonight that
Whitnore would be formally arraigned
in court tomorrow and formally charg-
ed with murder. The body of Mrs.
Whitmore will be taken from the
morgue tomorrow and sent to Sche-
nectady, N. Y.

ing a better discipline and higher
creation Of a general service corps to
relieve the soldiers of the vast amount
of unmilitary work they are now call
ed upon to perform.
In his opinion the military service
should be so attractive that it will not
be difficult to get and hold the class
of men needed for the enlisted per.
sonnet and to make army service a
life work, as it used to be, by Offering
rewards for proficiency, and greater in
crease of pay for length Of service.
The regular army last year lost 139
officers and 26,310 enlisted men and
although it was a year of peace, IA of
the officers and 1853 Of the men were
killed in action or died of wounds and
disease
The secretary earnestly adjures Con-
gress to give heed to the pressing needs
Of the military department. which it
has overlooked notwithstanding atten-
ton has been repeatedly called to it.
The secretary alludes particularly to
"the failures to make proper and ade-
Quate provision for caring for the
health and comfort of the volunteer
forces in time Of war" by creating a
sufficiently large body Of competent
surgeons with military knowledge and
training.
Among the estimates submitted is an
item of S6,4SS,O0O for the construction of
batteries at Manila and Subig bay.
