 PREDICTED FOR FUTURE
Naval Architect Says Ocean Liners a Century Hence Will Be Nearly a Mile Long.

New York June PA sensation has been created in shipping circles here by the announcement of a well known naval architect that the grand sons of the present generation will cross the Atlantic in "A hours on steamers a mile long. While the the appearance of a hot weather dream. it is borne out in a surprising manner by naval statistics. The architect in question bases his pre- diction on the advance of the last hundred years. since it has been just century since the first steamboat was proven a commercial possibil- ity. In that century transatlantic vessels have grown from an initial length of 130 feet to S10 feet, and it is now asserted that in the next hundred years the increase based on the demands of travel and traffic will be equally great. Travel sta { tistics show that during the last century the growth of transatlantic steamers from Fulton's 130 foot boat has been six fold. Following this line of progression which naval architects will hold good for the next ten de- cades the present record holding ves- sel BIO feet long will have evolved into a liner nearly a mile in length. While at present the maximum num- Der of passengers that can be car- ried by the largest steamships is something like 5000. the year 2O0S. according to this prediction, will see steamers carrying S00.000 passengers across the Atlantic in thirty hours, 1t being estimated that by that time the speed achieved will be at least 100 miles an hour. Perhaps the most surprising feature aside from the size of future vessels as predict ed by naval architects based on cold figures is the tremendous horsepower that will be required to drive these future leviathans. While 10000 horse power is developed by the largest liners at present, it is figured that another century will see this total increased to the absolutely astound- ing sum of 12,00O,O0O horsepower. carrying in addition to the S00,000 passengers, some fifteen million tons of freight The bulk of a vessel of this size may be sensed by the state ment that it will be 44O feet wide, and $40 feet in height Altogether the monsters which will carry fu- ture generations across the Atlantic in a day and a half. or less, will be of proportions to stagger the present imagination. Actually. however, the prediction of their coming involves no wilder flight of the imagination than the prophecy of an S0O-foot liner capable of crossing the Allan tic in four and a half days would have been considered by those who saw Robert Fulton start the first steamboat up the Hudson a century ago.

The newest and strangest profession
 in New York is that of modelling models" Eighty-four percent of all ready made cloaks and dresses worn throughout the country. it is asserted, are fitted and worn on. few score of specially trained women in this city. The discoverer of the new profession of training these models who earn as much as fifty dollars a week, asserts however that their preparation is real | ly an art. By the modeler the sub jects are trained to wear and display all sorts of gowns in the most effective way. Department stores have already learned to call upon these modelers for display girls. specifying the size and height wanted as if they were merely paper mache figures. That the work is an art, however, is shown by the fact that a pretty face and fine figure are among the least requirements for a successful model, since it has all ready been demonstrated that a girl lacking both these may yet through her artistic appreciation of the gar ment which she wears for display pur- poses be most successful. It is not an uncommon thing in this new profession for one of the models to wear s10.O00 worth of clothes in single day. In addition to her salary she receives d percentage on the sale influenced by
 the manner in which she wears and displays each gown. Dieting. exercise and calesthenics play large part in the successful training of the members of this strange profession.

enue is soon to outstrip 1t with the characteristic appelation of the Tn terrogative Thoroughfare." At least that will be it's title if the organiza- tion known as the Fifth Avenue as- sociation succeeds in carrying through it's plans to have stationed at every corner of the city's most aristocratic street, ushers who will answer all questions. The idea for such a set of ushers is that they shall know the avenue as an elevator man knows the building in which he works-to be able in short to answer all ques- tions as to means of transportation, location of stores and offices and their occupants. In short this novel usher of a whole city street will be able to usher people to the points which they are seeking out just as the usher in theater shows one to the proper seat. For the services of these men, properly uniformed and labelled and informed, the association itself proposes to pay instead of ask ing the city to do so. Strange as it may seem, moreover it is expected that they will benefit residents of New York more than visitors, for it

 MT. Hartman has at last achieved a record as the wickedest man in New York according to the police court records. The Hartman in question however, is one named Bill. and no r. lation to the famous financier. His claim to the title of the wickedest man in the metropolis is based on the fact that he. Bill Hartman, at present in durance vile, has a whole page in the police court blotter devoted to his misdoings-a record, it is said, never before equalled in the annals of petty crime in the city. The record becomes all the more remarkable when 1t is known that this, the champion bad man of Father Knickerbocker's town, in only twenty-One years old. The es- capade which completed MT.

Big Bill Devery the best police chief New York ever had" is likely to be the first citizen of the metropolis to use either the submarine or the air ship for commercial reasons. Big Bill when he is not engaged in fore casting political distress, occupies a waterfront home in Long Island, where in recent years he has aston ished the natives with his golden vic toria. In his vehicle he has been ac- customed to dazzle the frequenters of the bathing beach. Now. however. it appears that even this regal convey ance will have to be retired. Big Bill has been fenced off from his water front and the public highway as well. Time was when 10 do this would have required more than ordinary courage and pull-but now that Dev- cry is merely private citizen things have changed. Devery however has succeeded in saving a narrow path to the water front-and asserts that be- before he will allow his golden victoria to be rendered useless he will resort to a flying machine to cover the ground between his house and the ocean, and thence take his private submarine to the city office which he still maintains. Already it is said ne- gotiations have been begun for the air ship, and the big exchief is only wait ing to hear from President Roosevelt before ordering a submarine. That he is going to fight cannot be doubted and that he will adopt extraordinary means of getting from his house to the T, ..r.I hA f, aIr lxr tain. If his plans succeed it's rum bred that Chief Bingham will recall him, to captain New York's submarine and air ship police squads.

HARPER SAYS
CITY NEEDS NEW
DOG SYSTEM
MAYOR DECLARES PRESENT
METHOD OBSOLETE
DEPLoREs BRAWLs CAUSED BY
POUND KEEPERS
Thinks Council Should Act Without
Delay and Devise a More
Modern Ordi-
nance

1.-THE ordinance providing for catch
ing dogs is obsolete, and something will
have to be DONE and done quickly. The
city cannot afford to have these broils
between dog catchers and private clti-
zens on our streets every day or two"
This was the opinion Mayor Harper
gave yesterday morning when asked
for his opinion on the agitation for d
new system of dog catching.
II know there is much agitation over
the question, but the general public al
ways hates a dog catcher any time and
any place. This thing of fights every
day or two between the deputy dog
catchers and private citizens drives
home forcibly the fact that the present
system is wrong.
Il have had this matter under con-
sideration for some time. Mrs. L. q.
Giese, who appears to he active in this
movement, has been to me number
of times, and we have grown to under
stand each other thoroughly
Mrs. Giese, 1 believe, will tell you my
hearts in the right place, but [ am
more or less misguided. L have prom
ised Mrs. Giese and others who have
called to see me on the same topic that
l will do what l can, but l have no
power to pass an ordinance. That must
be done by the city council.
But, repeat, we must do something,
and do it quickly"
Dog Catchers in Court
Three dog catchers appeared in Police
Justice Chambers court yesterday
morning to answer to charges of dis
turbing the peace and battery.
Ernest Britt, E. j. Christopher and
Mike Catalina were accused of having
committed battery upon A. j. Harris,
A. Coplan and Sam Hallner, because
the latter men demonstrated with the
canine chasers when they were using
abusive and profane language to a
young woman at First and Santa Fe
avenue, Friday afternoon.
The men pleaded not guilty and their
trial was set for Aust z.
Coplan, the aged eXpresSman, who
was badly beaten by the dog catchers,
was in court when Britt and his assist
ants were being arraigned. The brave
old man, whose efforts to prevent
young woman from being insulted re-
suited in his being brutally beaten, had
his head swathed in bandages and APP
peared to be suffering considerably
from his injuries.
Appearance UnfaVorabIe
The unkempt appearance and inso-
lent attitude of the three dog chasers
did not create a favorable impression
on a majority Of the many spectators
who were present, and more than one
outside the court expressed the op1n-
ion that if such men had the power TO
capture dumb brutes, it was reason
enough for the abolition of the dog
catching system.
Severan persons, in commenting on
the unwarranted attack on the men
who had the courage to protest against
the vile language used in the presence
0f the women, declared 1t was a fire.
uuent occurrence for women of Los
Angeles to be insulted by dog catchers,
and said it was time immediate steps
should be taken to remedy the evil.

Graft Due to Inactivity of Honest but
IndoIent and Too Little Agrees
sive Members of Conn

Judge Waldo NJ. York addressed the
Citv club at the Westminster yester-
day on "Civic Patriotism"
The speaker referred in severe terms
to conditions in California, where, ne
said. the Southern Pacific railroad lob
by buys and sells legislators, ana
quoted letters and newspaper extracts
to sustain the charges.
"The boodling, grating machine
methods, political bosses that we all
hear so much about" he continued,
ARE eXcrescences upon our political
system, all resulting from inaction on
the part of citizens whose motives are
passively good, who are indolently
honest and unaggressively high
minded, but who, notwithstanding
their good Intentions fail to appreciate
the one great duty of American c1ti-
zenship-actiVe and intelligent partici-
patton in public affairs.
Let such citizens add to their good
intentions and moral inclinations Wig
lance in obtaining information of mat
ters of public concern-of public men,
of schemes of the self-seeking element,
of political bargaining, and consider
men for public office on the grounds
of fitness, honesty, fairness and gem
eral good character, and act.
Urges Citizens to Act

responsibilities and act together for the

"I,et us not excuse ourselves from
performing our civic duties on the
ground of engagement in ordinary pri-
waite business. Let us bear in mind the
neglect of private business by our fore
fathers in establishing this great gov
eminent and in securing these rights
to participate in public affairs and the
neglect of their private business that
was necessary to promote and main
tain those rights
"Neither let us say we cannot afford
to hold a public office. Let us admit
that it is our duty to serve the public
in anv civil station to which we may
he called when the same is not incon-
sistent with our abilities. Others have
sacrificed for the upbuilding of these
public institutions which are priceless

cations-that they will not be deprived
