BIG SEA FIGHTERS TESTED
BATTLESHIP DELAWARE Elk
CEEDs SPEED REQUIREMENT.
Two New War Vessels to Head the
Nations Line Of Sea
Fighters.

ROCKLAND, Me, October 23.-The bat
tleship Delaware. the first American fight
ing ship of the Dreadnought type. made
n splendid showing on her screw STAN
dardization runs over the measured mile
course in Penobscot bay today. exceed
ing her speed requirements by nearly a
knot While her contract calls for a
speed of II knots an hour. the Delaware
today attained a maximum speed Of 21.9S
knots and a mean of 21.44.
In order TO attain this speed the Della
wares engines were forced to develop
$4,000 horsepower. the highest ever made
by first-class battleship.
The tests of the Delaware, which was
built by the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Drydock Company Of Newport News.
Va. began yesterday and were concluded
today. Yesterdays tests included dozen
runs at slow speed. but today the engt-
neers crowded the ship to her limit. Three
runs were made at 10 knots. three at
2o.JO knots, and five at the maximum
of PISS knots. Later the Delaware put
to sea again at PM, and began four
hour endurance run. starting off Mon
hogan Island. This run will be followed
by fuel consumption tests in which both
coal and oil will be tried. Then will come
the twenty four-hour endurance runs.
Dakota to Be Tested.
A sister ship. the North Dakota, will
have a trial over this same course ten
days hence, and there will be much in
terest in comparing the work Of the two
ships. The North Dakota WIS built by
the Fore River Shipbuiding Company OF
Quincy, Mass, and is equipped with tur-
bine engines.
1t is expected that both the Delaware
and North Dakota will meet require
ments and that within six months they
will take their places at the head Of the
nations line of sea fighters. Each is
1900 tons in excess of the Michigan, the
most powerful of the American fleet to-
day.
In addition to their heavy displacement
and high speeds. the Delaware and North
Dakota are % per cent stronger on the
offense and defense than any battleship
yet constructed. That is to say. their
broadside batteries can hurl p per cent
more metal than any other ship. while
their vitals are protested by heavier
armor than any vessel afloat.

from DR.. Cook when he learned of il
here today.
DR.. Cook intimated that it was un.
likely that he would take any particular
notice of the attack on the Danish ex-

Neither could DR.. Cook be induced to
say ANYTHING regarding a dispatch from

secured satisfactory evidence that Bar

His only comment on that dispatch was
that Gen. f. D. Weed. his counsel in

DANCE IN THE STREETS.
San Francisco's Portola Festival
Brought to Brilliant Close.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 23.-San
Franciscos streets were one vast ball
room tonight and the feet OF thousands of
dancers kept time to the music of seven
bands on stationary floats. Marking the
close Of the Portola festival almost a
million people crowded the sidewalks as
a parade of Illuminated floats passed in
review.
In these floats San Francisco outdid
her reputation for love of pageantry
One of them weighed upwards of 10000
pounds CALIFORNIA; history from the
discovery of San Francisco bay by Por
lola to the discovery of gold was set
forth.
Until the parade had passed the crowd
was confined to the sidewalks by wire
cables. but the moment il escaped the
bounds, Market street was filled from
wall to wall with a throng of confetti
throwing, cheering and laughing people.

EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET

NEW YORK, October fitzpatrick Fl.
McCarren, state senator and democratic
leader of Brooklyn. who d ed this morn
ing after a brave fight against a COM
plication of diseases. will he buried from
ST. Vincent de Pauls Roman Catholic
Church, in the heart of his political
stronghold, at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing.
The body is now at his home
To his friends he had expressed the
wish that his funeral be as simple as
possible. Simple the funeral may be. but
not private by any possibility.
Flags were at half mast today on the
city hall of Greater New York and every
public building in Brooklyn. Testino-
malls of regard and express ons of regret
by letter and wire have deluged the
relatives today. .
Tribute From His Enemy.
Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall and McCarren's bitterest political
enemy. said OF him today:
Il have always admired Senator Nc
Carrens ability as leader and the
courage with which he fought for what
he believed to be right. All our diff
Herbert Parsons, chairman of the re-
publican county committee, said:
He was a very able man, great
fighter. He held his men under grea-
Odds
Speculation as d McCarren's probable
successor to the democratic leadership of
Brooklyn found two exp. essons today.
The less generally accepted. though
plausible. one was best worded By Jo-
seph Cassidy. formerly borough presi-
dent Of Queens county.
This ends Tammany's fight for Brook
lyn," he said Tammany never desired
TO go into Brooklyn, except as against
will be no more reaching across the
river
Political students who could not agree
with Mr.. Cassidy held that. on the con-
trary, with McCarren removed from the
field and Murphy's ally, William J. Con-
ners, in control of the party machinery
of the state as state chairman. it was
now all Tammany. Eventually, it is as
serted, the Brooklyn democratic crgani-
zation will become part and parcel of
TammGny.
Direction Of Organization.
Until after election a committee headed
by Bernard York, a former police COM
missioner, and Augustus Van Wyck.. for
merly a supreme court justice, will direct
it's affairs. When. in December next, the
executive committee of the organization
holds it's regular meeting the new leader
will be elected.
The man most generally mentioned for
the place Is John II. McCooey, the DEM
ocratic nominee for borough president OF
Brooklyn. a straight organization man,
popular with the McCarren following and
long in the late leaders confidence.
The value of the estate left by Senator
McCarren, according to mis- most intimate
friends. is matter of mystery. He was
variously reported to be a rich man, a
poor man and a man in comfortable cir
cumStanceS.
1t is known. however. that he owned
considerable real estate and was inter-
ested in an amusement park at Coney
Island

PARIS, October 23.-Dr. Edward p

sentative who has been i'm attendance at
the International Pure Food Congress
here, said today after the closing session.
I'm spite of the most active lobbying
of private interests the result of this con-
sress will be a great benefit the world
over.
Il received last night assurances that
This lobbying. although animated. would
have no influence, SO far as the purpose
Of the congress goes. 1t shows, however
that any international effort to get pure
food will bring about the same kind of
lighting and lobbying as was experienced
by the Congress at Washington during
he pure food agitation.
Between 1909 and LOO persons at
tended the international congress here.
There were delegates from Brazil, Jru-
quay and Chile. and an official represent
alive from China. who will probably
return to his country and demand that
fin.
1.-THE work OF the congress has been
rather technical. While it has ueen i'm
portant 1T has not greatly interested news
paper readers.
Its work was to establish a standard
IF purity for food products. This was
arrived at by stating in exact terms
what constituted a pure food. Thus olive
oil was defined oil extracted from the
fruit Of the olive tee.
THE congress also succeeded i'm defin-
ing whisky. II says whisky comes from
distillation of wort prepared by the
standardization of cereals by means of
malt and then fermented
Among the lobbyists there were COM
uercal agents who said they could not
sell peas snap-beans If they were not
colored green with sulphate of copper
| do not know that this is done in France
to such an extent. Sometimes peas are
not edible. 1t has not yet been decided
however, that sulphate of copper Is not
Injurious.
Some commercial lobbyists wanted the
congress to sanction the putting of borax
IN butter for shipping. The congress was
emphatfcally opposed to this.
THE congress demonstrated one thing
clearly. and that is that the United States
leads In the war on adulterated foods
They would not believe IL when | told
them that the American government
spends $1,000 OC0 every year on inspection
and, when all the inspectors of the vari-
Gus states are fully working. tine cost will

The pure food question has never been
agitated in Europe IL has been In

tional value in aroasng public attention
