THE CRUISER NORTH CAROLYN
Failed to Make Good in Standard
Zation Trial.

ROCKLAND, Me-, January 1.-THE new
armored cruiser North Carolina built by
the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company, on her screw STANDARDIZED
ton trial yesterday failed to make the
necessary number of revolutions to main
tain her contract speed of twenty-five
knots on any of the fourteen runs over
the measured mile course. according to
unofficial information. This was under
stood to be due to a handicap. No official
report on the speed was permitted to be
given out.
AS result Of yesterdays trial it was
found that her propellers must make 119
revolutions per minute to enable her to
attain a speed of twenty-five knots. Ow-
ing to unsatisfactory communication be-
tween the engine and fire rooms. due to a
recent order of the Navy Department that
the four flrerooms 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 CIV
ing the required speed.
1t is considered probable however, that
en- the four-hour run at sea today which
after a showdown for six hours will be
followed by a Neutrality-suspicious. rum end
ing at Hampton roads, the cruiser will
better her required speed. Selected coal
was not used. There was very little vi
bration and no accident.

FATHER MAGu1RE DYING.
Case Regarded as Hopeless by His
Physicians.

Rev Father Joseph I. Mcguire, pastor
of the Church of the Holy Comforter. is
dying. Such was the information given
out this afternoon at the home Of the
pastor. No. 18th street southeast. 1t
was stated by the physicians this morn
ing that the case was hopeless, the con-
dition of the patient being such that his
death was only question Of a short
time.
Holy Comforter and members of numer-
Gus charitable organizations in this city
and Baltimore were greatly shocked when
they read in The Star yesterday that the
condition of their pastor and friend was
80 critical. The day before they had re-
ceived encouraging news from the sick
room and had hope of his recovery
Father Mcguire had been delirious at
intervals during the past two or three
days, but 1t was expected he would rally.
There came a change for the worse. how
such that his attending physician sum-
moned another physician and consulta-
ton was held shortly before daybreak.
The conclusion reached was that the pa.
tient could not recover.
Rev. Charles Boone. assistant pastor of
the church, and a number of friends of
the patient remained with Father Ma
gure all night. 1t was stated at a late
hour this afternoon the patient was sink
ing rapidly.
Cardinal Gibbons went from st. Pat
rick's Church. following the funeral of
Father Stafford. to the rectery of the
Church of the Holy Comforter, to pay
what Is believed to be last sacrament to
Father Mcguire.

SETBACK FOR TAFT BOOM.
His Original Ohio Boomers Go Back
on Him.

SANDUSKY, Ohio, January 7.-ResoIu-
lions adopted by the Erie county repub-
lican committee last March, the first de-
claring for Secretary Taft as Ohios candi-
date for the republican nomination for
President were rescinded last night by a
vote of Is to 2, when twenty-one out of
thirty members represented in person or
proxy held stormy meeting.
The committee deposed Carl B. Clark,
local Taft leader, as chairman. The
grounds for the committees action were
stated to be that the previous Taft reso-
buttons do not represent the sentiments
of the people now that Senator Foraker
is In the presidential race.
TOLEDO, Ohio, January Papers have
been prepared in Henry county to enjoin
the board of elections from holding a
primary election for the selection of Taft
and Foraker delegates to the state con-
vention. The suit will be filed as soon as
the county committee asks the board to
conduct such primary,
Those bringing the suit contend that
money of taxpayers cannot be used for
such purposes at the behest of political
committee. and that to do SO would be
taxation without representation. as demo-
Gratis would have to help pay for a pri-
mary In which they have no voice
The Foraker advocates will bring the
suit. and similar proceedings are threat
ened in other counties in northwestern
Ohio.
