For the twenty-four hours ending

the Chesapeake and Ohio coal liers
dumped over 10000 tons OF coal. which
is an excellent record for one days

From the fact that there is plenty
of coal on hand and about $4,000 tons

Ruling Requiring Additional Officers
On Vessels Reversed.
END OF LONG DRAWN OUT FIGHT
Supervising Inspector General uh'er
Decides That Captain Harris Was
Wrong in UNFOLDING Engineers and
Pilots.

A decision of great importance and
affecting all OF the lines OF coastwlse
tug boats operating out of this prt
and all points along the Atlantic
coast has been rendered by Supervis-
ing Inspector-General Uhler. at New
York. who reversed the ruling OF SUI
pervising Inspector Harris that one
mate and one assistant engineer are
not SUFFICIENT for seagOing coastwise
tugs
The United States local inspectors
for the New York distric ordered the
steam tug Mary F. Scully to carry
additional engineer and an additional
mate some months ago. and made
the same decision with regard to the
tug John Scullv. The Scully Towing
and Transportation Line appeal from
this decision to Supervising Inspector
Harris, who examined witnesses rep
resCnting the steam vessel interests.
among whom were a number of ship
ling men stationed at this port, ana
those called by the National AssOcia-
ton of Engineers and Consolidated
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
ton.
The American Association Of Mas
tiers. Mates and Pilots was represent
ed bv Captain Luther b. Dow, and
the Engineers Association by Mr..
Yates.
At the hearing it appeared that the
Scully tugs carried crews OF fifteen
all told, including licensed mate
and one assistant engineer. two oil
ers and four f1remen. and that with
this complement the boats had been
successfully and safely navisated for
a number of years The Engineers
Association and Pilots Association
maintained that with such com
plement it would be necessary for the
men to work over thirteen hours per
day, which was forbidden by law. The
tug owners contended that there was
no such RUE. as the rule had been
repealed last January by the Board
of Supervising Inspectors. Nererthe-
less Supervising Inspector Harris de-
cided that the additional engineer and
mate were required.
An appeal was then taken by the
Scullv Transportation Line 10 Super
vising Inspector General Uhler. who
reversed Captain Harris's decision
and decided that the additional Off
GERS were not necessary.
The decision of General Unler is
regarded by the shipping men gener-
ally as big victory for the tug own
ers. as the employment of the extra
officers would involve considerable
additional expense to the operation
of the sea tugs towing along the At
lantic coast.
The case has been fought .out for
a long term of months and has in
vOlved the examination OF many sea-
faring men connected with all of the
towing lines which operate from this
and other Hampton Roads ports.
The Scully Transportation Company
which has t.aen handling the case for
the tug owners has been operating
a line of tugs and barges out OF this
port for a number of years. and has
one Of the largest Goa! carrying fleets
along the Atlantic coast.

DIVIDED ON TARIFF REVISION
Democratic Senators Will Not Act as
a Unit.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The Demo.
cratic senators are going to bs divid-
ed when the tariff bill reaches them
next session. They are a unit on the
general principle that the tariff should
be based on the demands of the gov
eminent for revenue ratbcr than pro.
lection and apparently iEthe Demo
Gratis themselves were in the majority
and were framing a bill it would be
upon this basis.
Some Of them believe in proceeding
upon this theory even though the Re
publicans frame the bill. Others,
coming from states in which there are
large industries which have hereto
fore been the subject of protection,
take the view that, as the bill will,
under any circumstances, be a pro-
tective measure, it is in the line OF
their duty to constituents to exert
themselves to obtain the best protec'
tion possible in the new measure.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
y among the Southern Democrats
who take the position that Southern
products should be properly taken
care of in a protective bill and he will
devote special attention to the lumber
schedule, which, he apprehends, will
be vigorously attacked.

Fuel From waste Coal.

A practical means Of saving the enor-
nous waste Of coal by the presen.
mining methods IL reported by John
L. Cochrane of the technologic bureau,
The results Of a series Of experiments
have been compared. and Mr.. Cochrane
reports that coal briquets can be made
from slack or waste coal and coal OF
inferior grades which are not marketed
ct present. The waste Is mixed with
5 or 6 per cent Of water gas pitch. then
pressed into cakes or bricks.
1t has been shown. according to this
report, that the briquets furnish more
power from less weight in fuel than
the regular coal from the same mines
Being lighter in weight than coal. the
briquets will serve a good purpose in
the navy and also on railroads. 1t is
claimed that the briquets give of less
smoke than coal. An enormous guam.
tity of waste coal is cast aside at the
mines. and inferior grades are left in
the ground untouched. The briquets
make valuable what was useless be
fore. and their manufacture will add
to u stock of fuel the equivalent of
many million tons of coal.

DOES NO HARM,
BUT MUCH GOOD.

Mix the following by shaking
we'll in a bottle, and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce: compound kargon, one
ounce, compound syrup sarsapa-
ailla, three ounces. A local
druggist is the authority that
these simple, harmless ingredients
can be obtained at nominal cost
from our home druggist.
The mixture is said to cleanse
and strengthen the clogged and
inactive Kidneys, overcoming
backache, bladder weakness and
urinary trouble of all kinds, if
taken before the stage Of Bright's
disease.
These who have tried this say
it positively overcomes pain in the
back, clears the urine of sediment
and regulates urination. especially
at night, curing even the worst
forms oil bladder weakness.
Every man or woman here who
feels that the kidneys are not
strong or acting in a healthy
manner should mix this prescrip-
ton at home and give it a trial, as
it is said to do wonders for many
persons.

socialism's Aim and Destiny.

Socialism's Aim and Destiny.
To 'see ourselves as others see us"
is a blessing IL we give the observers
credit for brains and candor. Social
ism is just now being defined, Il not
judged, by outsiders. The cult contains
the germ Of an ideal almost universal
among mankind. Much confusion
rests with those who attempt to de-
fine modern socialism, but it seems not
go easy to make a mistake when out
lining its ultimate drift. This was re.
Gently set forth by the London Times
as follows:
This is the real weakness OF socialism
In the proper sense-the socialism of col
lectivity. Embedded in its fundamental
propositions is this unequal distribution
Of proceeds according to unequal produc-
tive capacity. There is no getting away
from II. else we may be sure it would not
be there. 1t is like the tiny egg which
the tchneumon lays in the grub Of an
other fly, which develops with the devel-
opment Of its host and ultimately brings
destruction. In the very heart of col
lectivism is the 'germinal assertion of in
dividualism. In vain are productive agen-
cies collected in the hands of the state
when their output has to be distributed.
and %unequally distributed. among individ-
uals. The system is a reversion to that
older type in which everything belonged
to the king n Is doomed to break down
In the same way.
In other words. socialism would
swap one ideal fol- another where
there is absolutely no proof that the
wv way would be an Improvement.
The Times argues that the proof is all
on the side Of the accused.

VIII the Airship Fad Mako Good?
The governments generous subsidy
for airship experiments is timely, but
it is not ahead Of time. Attempts to
initiate the bird have not succeeded.
and man may be as far today from
practical flying as he was months ago
or years ago. But astonishing fights
have been made. and it will be a serv-
ice to mankind to have the matter set
tied without delay. Other governments
are experimenting, private parties are
backing up inventors, and If there is
anything in it the nation which hangs
back now will be behind in the game
whether it makes for war or CONNER
cial progress.
The prize for a definite exhibition
Of the airship up to date offered by a
newspaper is also timely. The novel
and picturesque sides of the flying
machine have been exploited. Great
things have been predicted for it by
experts. and other experts have dis
counted them. A fad can run along
endlessly If It is sensational enough
to put down rivals. This aeroplaning
most assuredly is. But it holds out
promise of vast usefulness and. like
steam a hundred years ago and cleo
tricity today, will revolutionize living
on this globe fit can make good 1t
will make good when it can parallel in
the air the trip Fulton made on water
a century ago by steaming from New
York ia Albany.

Captain Hutchins Detached From
Command of kesrsarge.
Washington, Feb. 24.-No explana
ton of the cause for Captain Hamil'
ton NJ. Hutchins' detachment from,
command of the battleship Kearsarge
by Rear Admiral Sperry at Gibraltar
nor the reason for his coming home
on a passenger steamer is available
at the navy department. Rear Ad'
miral Pillsbury, chief Of the bureau
Of navigation, declared that he had
not the slightest idea why Captain
Hutchins was detached from his com
mand, unless on account of illness.
and no advices have reached the de
partment on the subject from Rear
Admiral Sperry.
Secretary Newberry, while at Hamp
ton Roads, was informed by Admiral
sperry regarding the detachment Of
Captain Hutchins. but the secretary
would not discuss the action.
