FIRE TUG TESTED
BY Underwriters
The David Scannell Races Down
Bay While Throwing 10000
Gallons a Minute

| With pounding and plunging engines
and sputtering nozzles the fire tug
David Scannell made a desperate bid
for the approval of the board of ma
tional underwriters and the city Off
cials yesterday morning.
| For three hours the brass emblazon-
ed boat went through all the regula.
| tion antics of fire fighter, racing ur
and down the bay, throwing streams
of water from twenty nozzles and car
rying on a mimic warfare with the
| gods of flame.
However, the underwriters wante.
something more than the miniature
Niagara of water, and for four hours
| in the afternoon the David Scannell
| lleashed to the Harrison street wharf
trembled with the steam gauge show
ling $50 pound pressure on the
straight boiler tubes.
TRIP CAUSES SATISFACTION
Representatives of the fire depart
ment, board of works, fire commission
| ers and underwriters embarked at 10
O'Clock and danced the tug out into
the center of the bay. There, with Cap
tain Glenn Randall in the pilot house.
Fire Chief T. R Murphy in command
of the deck and H, Connick of the city
engineers office In the engine room
| the David Scannell was put through
its PAGES
In response to the bells the tug Cir
| cled and dashed, stopped and started
| ing veritable curtain of water high
| into the air. At the conclusion of the
test, damp and dripping, the inquisitors
who had been standing on the front
bridge. retired to the engine room to
| dry their clothes, take notes and ex-
press satisfaction.
ENGINES WORK APPROVED
On the return to the wharf the en-
gine test was also satisfactory to the
experts. While out in the bay the boat
pumped 10000 gallons a minute
through 20 nozzles with the engines
under 100 pound pressure The boiler
and engine test of four hours was or
dered to ascertain the efficiency of the
boiler pipes and the lubricating sys-
tenn.
| The underwriters committee was
composed of T. c. B. Smell and F. b.
Wilther, structural engineers; C. Gold
smith, r. C. bennett and G. L. Bean
| hydraulic engineers.
| The other members of the party were
F. c. Raymond, w. M. Johnson, X. Ly-
decker and O. G. Rogers, fire depart
ment engineers; George NJ. Robertson,
| chief engineer of the Pacific board of
| fire underwriters; Captain Bermin CHAM
| United States inspector of steam yes
sells; Captain j. F. Bulger, United
States inspector of vessels; t. w. Ran
som, consulting mechanical engineer of
the board of works, who designed the
vessel; and Fire Commissioners Sulli-
van and Dillon.
The criticism directed against the
boat was said to come from those who
advocated curved tube boilers. To
demonstrate their control of the boat
in the water Connick and Ransom had
the crew swing around twice between
the docks. The boat is 100 feet over
all and the dock opening was $50 feet
across.

STEEL AND IRON TRADE
SUFFERS CONTRACTION
Railroads Place Few Contracts
for Equipment

NEW YORK, May 1.-The steel mills
sunered from further contraction in
the last week, and blast furnaces Sc
cured lean returns from solicitations
for orders.
The railroads placed few contracts
for equipment, including cars, locomo-
tives and rails. The orders for bridges
too, were especially disappointing be-
cause of the failure to fulfill previous
assurances that contracts for upward
of 10000 tons would be awarded before
May /.
Specifications for fabricated steel for
buildings and manufacturing plant ex-
tensions were only 1900 tons, but the
new orders placed were fully 10000
tons. Low prices were made on both
fabricated and structural contracts.
Taking April as a whole the recess
sion in the trade has been marked. Lo-
comotive orders have been the excep-
tion, the engine works booking orders
for 521 locomotives. Car orders have
been less than 10000, only 1.700 being
ordered last week. April rail contracts
were less than 100000 tons.

LINsoN or ASSAULT WITH
INTENT TO KILL.
PARTIES ARE ALI PROMINENT
Trouble Occurred Late Monday After
noon, and Knife and Stick Seem to
Have played a Part-Warrant to Be
Served Today.

]. C. Hobbs, a merchant OF Culleo
ka, was in town this morning and
swore out a warrant charging {. L.
Tomlinson, of that place, with assault
with intent to kill, the swearing out oil
the warrant being the result OF troub-
lie which occurred at Culleoka Mon
day afternoon, in which Tomlinson,
]. c. Hobbs and the latter's son, Tom
Hobbs, were the principals.
It seems the trouble originated at
the store of ]. C. Goodridge in Guile
Okla, and that Tom Hobbs entered the
store at about 4 o'clock in the after
noon, carrying a pair of shoes. Tom
Bryant, who was in the store at the
time, and Tom Hobbs joked each 9TH
er for a time, and it seems that Rry-
and and 1omlinson later got into an
argument or discussion. It seems that
Tom Hobbs became involved in the
discussion in some manner, and that
Tomlinson took offense at something
he said or did, and according 10 re-
port struck the young man over the
head with a stick.
J. G. Hobbs, who conducts store
a short distance from Goodridge's
store, closed his store about o'clock
In the afternoon, and was sitting on
the front steps of the store, when he
heard voices at the Goodridge store,
and heard his sons voice, whereupon
he called to him, and asked what was
the matter, and receiving no reply
went over to the store, when words
passed between him and Tomlinson,
when it is charged Tomlinson struck
]. G. Hobbs with knife, the blade
striking the collar bone. Mr.. Hobbs
had the wound dressed later.
The trouble seems to have ended
then.
The trouble between J. c. Hobbs
and Tomlinson occurred about
o'clock in the afternoon, and the lat
ter came to town this morning and
swore out the warrants as stated
above, charging Tomlinson with as
sault with attempt to kill Tom Hobbs
and ]. G. Hobbs.
A warrant was delivered to an Off
Ger to serve today, and he expected
to see Tomlinson this afternoon, as
he was out on his route this morning.
Tomlinson is a mail carrier.
