OIL FOR NAVAL SHIPS.
Advantages Of Liquid Fuel Over Goa
Are Numerous,

Rovanta0oo OF ItQut0 fuoI over Coal
Are Numerous.
The fact that the United States navy
has begun to purchase fuel oil by con-
tract and is preparing to establish
sells may regularly ill their tanks
proves how thoroughly satisfied the
authorities are with the careful tests
which they have been making for
many years past. says the Scientific
American. AS compared with coal.
fuel oil shows the following advan-
tages: 1t possesses greater evapora-
tive efficiency over coal Of about IA
10 .. and its use not only gets rid of
the problem Of dirty and clinkered
fires and the always troublesome dis
posal Of the ashes. but renders possible
a great reduction in the fire room
force. 1t avoids the great labor and
Inconvenience attending the coaling of
ships. the manual labor for which
work is practically eliminated. The oil
can be piped into the double bottom
of the ship and utilized in compart-
ments which at present serve no useful
purpose. In proportion as large sup
ply of oil is carried and the coal supply
reduced the considerable amount of
space now occupied by coal bunkers Is
rendered available for other purposes.
With the use of fuel oil 1t becomes
possible to make sudden variations in
the power developed by the boilers and
TO change rapidly from cruising to full
power speed. The control of combus-
ton is practically absolute. 1t being
possible with oil fuel to admit exactly
the desired proportions Of air for the
best results. Firing with oil fuel in.
sures longer life to the boiler, and
particularly does it reduce repairs on
the tube sheets. for there is no neces.
sity for the opening and shutting of
furnace doors. with the resulting sud-
den variations Of temperature in the
frebox.
Considered from the standpoint of
the strategist. oil fuel is of inestimable
advantage. for 1t becomes possible, ex-
cept when the boilers are being very
hard pushed. to eliminate smoke and
SO get rid Of one Of the most telltale
evidences Of the location Of feet.

EXCESSIVE HUMANITY" NOTED

Partisan Director Of Penitentiaries
Fears American Plan Would Not
Last In European Repubic-Praise
For Rescue Work Among Children to
Prevent Crime.
NJ. Schrameck, director of the French
penitentiaries. one Of the five delegates
who attended the recent congress at
Washington. has returned to Paris. and
in speaking of his trip said:
I'VE return astounded. We saw
prisoners in the United States better
lodged and better fed than the greater
part Of the working population CT
France. l do not eXaggerate. They
have three meals day and meat at
each. After eating they have coffee.
They have to work. but so little it is
not worth mentioning.
System Astounds Visitors.
"In that free country deprivation of
liberty is considered a sufficient pen
atty. An American prisoner remains
citizen and so cannot be logged.
His hair is not cut off, as in France.
and he is not obliged to wear spe-
cial costume. He is supposed to pre-
serve the sentiment Of his own per-
sOnality, his own individuality, SO ut
meals each has his own stool, while
French prisoners use FORMS"
Nj. Schrameck described the lessons
given in prisons, the prison baseball
games. ETC.. from which he concluded
that prisoners in America were looked
upon as wanderers from the right way
who ought to be put back on the right
road.
M. Schrameck praised the measures
taken in America to prevent criminal
ity, the children's courts and the parks
for children's play. The prisons he
thought models, but too expensive for
France to initiate.
America Has Excessive Humanity"
"After all. every country has its own
ways. The excessive humanity Of
Americans is most praiseworthy
work. Does 1t give the desired re-
suits? That has to be found out. l
do not think that in France such hu-
mainly would have much success.
"What is to be admired in the Unit
ed States. repeat, is the care taken
to rescue the children from the street
ana it's temptations. To prevent the
first little crime Is to stop the child
slipping down the evil slope. To pre-
vent is better than to punish. There
is much to be done among us in this
direction"

Captain On Back OF Head-Coach

Munk Injured Last Year and Had
Never Fully Recovered.

Wheeling, w. Va. Especially -
Charging him with the wilful muir
der of Rudolph Munk, left halfbacK
and captain of the West Virginia
University football team, Coroner w.
w. Rogers issued a warrant for
Thomas Mccoy, alias Gardner, left
end of the Bethany College team.
The warrant has been placed in the
hands of Constable w. w. Wickham
and Mccoy will be arrested tomor-
row morning.
The warrant was issued because of
the sworn statement made today to
Coroner Rogers by Homer N. Young,
OF Pittsburg, Pa, former Michigan
University player, who was the Off
cial referee of the game. His state
ment is as follows:
Rudolph Munk was running down
the field in advance of the man with
the ball, West Virginia having the
ball about 80 yards from the Bethany
goal. He was not close to the ball.
On this play he was met by a man
said to be Gardner, as his name was
given to me by Townsend, the coach
for the Bethany team. On this par
ticular play this man Gardner ran
towards Munk while both were run
ming down the field. About the time
they got 10 yards beyond the scrim-
mage line Gardner, to the best of my
recollection, struck Munk on the back
Of his head with his (Gardner's) fist.
Munk fell and Gardner practically
fell over him. Gardner got on his
feet, for an instant gazed at Munk
and started to walk off the field
For this foul put him out of the
game. He made no reply and no
protest whatever. Munk was uncon-
scious. Evidently to me the blow
which felled Munk was intentional"
Mccoy is the real name of the play
er who is charged with striking
Munk, but in this game he was play
ing under the name of Gardner. At
ter he had been ordered from the
field he passed the bleachers, where
several hundred West Virginia root
ers were standing. Cries of Dirty
player" and Tough" came from the
crowd and in reply Mccoy said.
We'll. he was smuggling me all
through the game"
DR.. o. M. Stats rushed to the side
of the player and hurriedly plac-
ing him in an automobile rushed him
to the City Hospital. Half a score
of physicians worked over him, but
all to no avail. He died shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock without having regained
consciousness.
Captain Henley, of Bethany, when
asked concerning the play, said: at
is the consensus of opinion among
the Bethany and players that Munk
hit Mccoy and Mccoy hit him back
None of the Bethany players saw the
play. nor do | think the off, ais did,
as all were watching the man with
the ball"
