"Such a crust!" observed in

England to Retaliate.

LONDON, June 5.-Eight new
Dreadnaughts will be built at once
by the British government as the
result of the sensational session
|of the German Navy league today
at Kiel. The government had
hoped to delay the construction of
these battleships because of the
condition of the public finances.
The action of the Germans in
throwing on the cloak of secrecy
and admitting their intention of
wrestling naval supremacy from
this country, however, assured
that the vessels would be built
without delay.
Details of the meeting at Kiel
have not been received here yet
but the meager reports of the
radical speeches delivered by the
German delegates have been
enough to greatly increase the
bitterness of. the British anti-Ger-
man feeling.

Damage Case

In the federal court this morn
ing the jury in the case of Mrs.
Margaret Calhoun against the T.
r. & p. company, brought in a
verdict for $4,000 for the In
lJuries she received in the Larch-
mont wreck of year ago.
The railway will ask for new
trial.
Mrs. Calhoun's doctors testified
that the woman is completely par
alyzed below the waist as the re-
suit of her injuries, but doctors on
the other side maintain that she
was shamming to a great extent.
1t is said they stuck pins in her
to prove that she was not par
lalyzed.
The railway admitted its liabil-
lity in the case but fought for a
small verdict. Govnor Teats rep
resented the plaintiff and insisted
on the full $4,000 for which she
sued. The jury compromised on
900.
