 The receiver in New York state for the Nichols & Langworthy Machine company of Hope Valley. William Bev erly Winslow, has recently returned from London, where he instructed at torneys to bring suit against II conf panies, underwriting associations and Lloyds, for payment of their propor- tion of the loss, under policies aggre- gating $280000 These companies and underwriting associations, some Of them of rather doubtful financial responsi- bility. deny liability on a technicalit% based on alleged misstatement n the cabled application for the insurance.
 The plant had for some time hee1 protected by insurance of a number of well known and reputable compa- nies, all legally authorized to transact business in Rhode Island, their poli- cies aggregating $370,000 on the plani and $90, 900 on the use and occupancy.

CRUISERS WILL
 MAKE SPEED TEST

Washington. April 1o.-Monday next. from Newport, R. l.. the three scout cruisers of the American navy. the Ches- ter, the Birmingham and the Salem. will start on their final test a 24-hour run at top speed, when careful records will be kept of the coal, water and oil consump- tion. The three ships have already com- pleted competitive runs for 100 miles at 10, 1b and g knots per hour. The re- suits of the test will be watched with con- siderable interest, as 1t is practically contest between the old and new styles of engines, the reciprocating and turbine, and incidentally between the English and American makes of the latter class. In the tests thus far the reciprocating en- zines have shown the best results in the matter of coal consumption. On the run at 20 knots the Salem consumed POP tons of coal per day, as compared with the Chesters 157 and the Birmingham's 1bsls per day.

SIMS HAS BILL TO
 INCREASE REYEN LIE

Washington, April 1o.-(Special)- Representative Sims of Tennessee has introduced bill for the purpose of greatly increasing the revenue of the government. It provides that corpora tions doing an interstate business shall have their gross receipts taxed A of l per cent per annum. MT. Sims had intended to offer the bill as an amend ment to the tariff bill, but he was in formed that a point of order would be made against 1t and under the rules would be sustained. He therefore in corporated his ideas in the bill which he has just introduced.
 MT. Sims is of the opinion that the expenditures are growing so rapidly that a measure such as the Payne tar if bill will be totally inadequate to raise a sufficient amount of money an- nually to meet the expenses.
 He believes that the taxation pro- posed in his bill is a better meth cd than an inheritance tax.

Shellman, Ga. April 10.-(Special. )-The dead body of Alfred Iverson, a negro, was found in his cabin this morning and on the floor a portion of white mans skull was lying in a splotch of blood.

TURBINE Vs. REclPRocATINo.
Speed Tests of Cruisers "saIem" and "6lrmIngham" of Local Interest.

There is naturally much local interest in the speed trials of the United States cruisers Salem. equipped with turbine engines, and the Birmingham, equipped with recdprocating engines. It will be recalled that at a test had last week, at slow speed, the reciprocating engines showed a slightly higher efficiency than the turbines. The great advantage of the turbines, however Is said to be in their wonderful speed, and at the coming trials next Tuesday at full speed, the turbine enthusiasts are claiming victory for the turbine cruiser Salem. So great is the excitement run hing over these trials that the crew of the Salem has raised a fund of $5000 which they are wagering that their turbine driven vessel will be the vio- tor.
 James Wilkinson, president of the wilkinson Turbine company of this city will be present at the trial. and he has wired friends that though he will hate to see the cruiser named after his home town beaten, he is neverth eless confident of victory for the turbine driven cruiser Salem. It is pointed out that local interest Is being taken in this matter, not only because the cruiser Birmingham is named for this city, but also because this is the home of the wilkinson turbine, and it will be re- called that an effort was made by the Commercial club to have the Birming- ham equipped with Wilkinson turbines, but as the recfprocating engines had all ready been ordered the change could not be made.

ARCTIC EXPLORER
 MISSING A YEAR

New York, April 10.-Members of tho Arctic and Exploration clubs, who have recently been seriously alarmed over the continued lack of news as to the where abouts of Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brook 1yn, who has been missing in the polar regions since March, 1908. have resolved to lose no time in raising funds for searching expedition. Rear Admiral sehley. president of the Arctic club, re- gently issued an apepal for subscriptions, saying SSO. 900 was needed to equip an ex- petition which Willon Wallace has offered to lead.
 Dr. Cook was last heard from when at a point 40 miles north of Capt Thomas Hubbard, on the North Polar sea, on March ', 1908, and he was then about to make his dash for the pole. He said he expected to return home not later than September, 1908. It Is the apparent utter miscarriage of the latter part of his plan that has caused his friends to become so alarmed for his safety.
