CONTROVERSY OVER ZoELLY
TURBINE AT ANNUAL DINNER.
J. c. Butler Pleads for Development
of the American Mer-
chant Marine.

NEW YORK, November PA discus
sion of marine turbines yesterday at the
annual dinner of the Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers, In the
Engineering building, caused considerable
display of feeling, in which Rear Admiral
Francis T. Bowles declared that the use
of the Zoelly turbine was an infringe
ment Mr. Bowless presided when the
session began. After he announced that
]. W. Powell Of the Cramp company
would read paper on the steam turbine.
Mr.. Bowles relinquished the chair. as he
said he was particularly interested In the
subject and might want to speak on the
topic himself.
In his paper Mr. Powell praised the
Zoely turbine.
Alleges Infringement.
Mr. BoWles rose the moment that Mr..
Powell stopped speaking. With all due
credit to Mr.. Powell, he said, he believed
that the use of tho Zoelly turbine was
an infringement on the Curtiss rights.
AS representative of the Curtiss people,
he said he intended to take action against
all those using the Zoelly turbine on
torpedo boats OR otherwise.
Mr.. Powell replied with some heat. He
said that M. Bowles characterization
of the use Of the Zoelly machinery as
"a burglarious attack" was entirely I'M
called for He ended by saying that the
courts would decided the merits of the
rival claims and that present discussion
was useless.
Capt. D. W. Taylor, naval constructor,
moved that both the original paper and
the attack and reply be expunged from
the record. This motion was carried by
two votes.
The Merchant Marine.
The growth and development of the
power boat were discussed in a paper
read by w. P. Stephens, describing the
British international trophy race of 1908.
An address by J. c. Butler, jr., president
of the Merchant Marine League, made a
strong plea for the development of the
American merchant marine.
Mr.. Butler said that Mr.. Taft, as Presi-
dent. would be in hearty sympathy with
the aims of the league and would do all
In his power to extend the merchant
marine. He went on:
ITO my mind. ii is a disgrace to all OF

Louisville, KY, June 26.-At a

League today a resolution was

A prominent officer Of the National
Model License League made the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-THE National Model License
League is made for the sole purpose
of correcting abuses in the liquor
trade throughout the country by
means Of promulgating a law that
will take the liquor question out Of
politics. The league does not con-
slider itself in any way responsible
for the misconduct Of any individual
but at the same time the officers,
as members Of the league, feel that
in justice to themselves they should
not bear the odium Of affiliating
with men or firms accused Of improp-
.er conduct. The money paid to the
National Model License League by
Lee. Levy & company has been re-
funded by mail"

Penmanship OF Authors.

Among the present day novelists the
prize for good handwriting should be
awarded to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
His manuscripts are a perfect picture
OF clear, precise calligraphy, as easy
to read as type.
Another good penman is Max Penn
berton, and no one can see even az
much as his signature without de-
tecting the artist in every curve. He
is trying for the eyes, for he errs on
the side Of mia;; seness. One Of the
most businessiike "fists" is that OF
Frank T. Bullen. Bullen told the
present writer that the very act OF
writing was real Joy to him and that
he vas never happier than when GOV.
ering page after page with his sloping,
sthoolmasterlike characters.
Hall Game writes very plain but
not particularly distinguished hand.
Unlike F. q. Bullen, he declares the
act OF writing bores him, yet he never
dictates. He can, however, write any
where, even like Mark Twain. In bed.
Stanley Weyman and ]. M. Barrie are
both good penmen, but Coulson Ker.
