IN nORTSMOUTH, n. H., Nov. 5.-As
the new battleship North Dakota
n was completing her four-hour en-
durance run at a 21-knot gait, off the
New England coast today, with the
battleship speed championship of Amer
lea almost in her grasp, boiler room
accident robbed her of the laurels and
sent her scurrying into this port to land
four injured men,
The ship. nevertheless, exceeded her
contract requirement of twenty-one
knots, making 21.1 in the first two
hours, q GA in the third hour and A.OO
as she hurried in on the fourth hour TO
this port.
The injured men are: William H.
Grange, water tender; John Souden,
coal passer; A. Peterson, fireman, anu
Peter Mcconnell, fireman.
Souden was badly scalded. The North
Dakota plodded out of the Penobscot
shortly after sunrise today, increasing
her steam as she proceeded, until at
o'clock she was well south of Mohegan.
Shortly after that she began her trial.
on the first two hours the engines
developed $4,000 horsepower, and the
water rate was well above the contract;
A few minutes after the battleship had
passed Cape Ann and while she was
entering the fourth hour of her test
seven-inch tube in one of the lower
rows of boilers blew out and filled the
room with steam.
Cut Off Four Boilers
The engineers Immediately cut OH
four of the fourteen boilers.
AS soon as the extent of the injuries
of the firemen had been ascertained,
the North Dakota was swung around
and headed back up the coast for this
port, where IT was known a good har-
Dor could be reached shortly after the
expiration of the time limit.
All of the four injured men bravely
urged the engineer force to disregard
their injuries and keep the battleship
on her work.
Under the ten boilers q knots speed
was maintained for the remainder of
the time. and at o'clock the North
Dakota steamed into this harbor and
sent the injured men ashore.
The defective tube was replaced and
arrangements were made to leave at
midnight for the 24-hour run at a speed
of 10 knots.
The battleship is expected at Boston
lightship at midnight tomorrow, and
during her run it will be decided wheth-
er there will be a continuation of the
trials and whether the four-hour test
| will be repeated.
| Although the North Dakota fulfilled
| her contract today, her builders, the
| Fore River Shpbuilding company of
| Quincy, Mass, are anxious to see what
| she can do on a four-hour test with her
usual steam equipment.

WOULD AID ROADS
Bill in Legislature Provides for Utiliz
ing Muscle Of Wife Deserters

Stringent laws will be passed at this
session Of the legislature to prevent
the crime of wife abandonment 1t is
proposed to not only put the guilty
people in Jail, but also to put them to
work on the streets in view of the pub
lie SO that every one can see that the
man is being made to atone for his
deed.
Such bill will receive consideration
at the hands Of the Legislature shortly.
The author, Assemblyman Wehrwein of
Manitowoc, proposes that in counties
having no workhouse the commitment
Of any person for abandonment of wife
or child from any city within such
county may be made to the county jail,
and the person SO committed may be
sentenced to Imprisonment at hard
labor.
When so committed he shall, at the
written request Of the street commits
sioner of the city from which he is
committed, be delivered by the sheriff
or keeper Of the Jail to the commission
er under whose direction he shall be
required to perform public work upon
the streets of the city between the
hours of to II a. M, and / and o.
m. on all the working days during the
term of his Imprisonment. When not
thus employed he is to remain in the
Jail in solitary confinement or in what
ever manner the sentence prescribes.
Assemblyman Hull would have the
legislature pass a law which will make
| all prisoners in county jails assist in
road making, instead of having them
while away their time in the iails His
bill provides that the prisoners be made
to work at least eight hours each day,
and that for this purpose the county
should take the proper steps to furnish
materials and employment.
If any one is unable to do the work
because Of physical inability, a certif-
cate must be gotten from the county
clerk, stating the reasons in full. In
counties which already have workhous-
es the conditions are to remain the
same.
| Both of these measures are consid-
cred necessary to lesson the number of
crimes and the number of idle prisoners
who are now a. burden to the communi-
| ties.

Other Opinions of Wisconsin.

Senator LaFollette Of Wisconsin may
have his uses, but outside of his own
state they are not yet discernible. The
trouble Of Mr. LaFollette seems to be
that he is suffering from an almost in
satiable craving for publicity. He is
not willing to work to the ranks. 1t
has remained for Senator Penrose to
reveal a record Of inattention to and
neglect Of public duties on the part of
LaFollette that is really somewhat
startling in a person who assumes to
be the one particular apostle Of politi-
cal virtue in the senate of the United
States His committees have rarely
known his presence. He prefers to
stand in his place on the floor and find
fault with the work of those who do
attend to business. He may fool him
self into the belief that by posing in
the much priced limelight and deliver
ing lectures he is best serving his
country, but he is likely to learn in
time that the man who realistically
does that sort of thing is practically
useless and that his egotism is sure to
be discovered and treated accordingly.

"'The reason for raising the price of
milk" said James P. Grier, secretary
of the association, els the increased
cost Of feed, farm labor, stringent reg

the unusual sanitary conditions which
are required We want to give the

ton as at meeting Of the Board OF
Directors of the association held IL
Chicago Friday afternoon it was voted
to advance the price of milk on May. /.

rick II. Tobin Of Pleasant Prairie
represented the Kenosha Unions at the
meeting.
The directors decided to raise the
price of milk for the six summer
months, beginning May ], 10 cents per
can of thirty-two quarts. This means
that the wholesale milk dealer must
pay the producer one-third of a cent
per quart increase over the price
which was in effect last summer. This
means that the milk consumer, during
the coming summer, will have to pay
cent more Tor every quart of milk
purchased. During the summer Of 1903

quart. In the summer Of 1909, it is
