Franconia will not be as big as the MaUre-

maintaining a speed of 10 or 20 knots
She was not designed for great speed.
such as is maintained by the Mauretania
and the Lusitania, with their four screws
and turbine engines, the greatest coal con-
sumers on the Atlantic. She will have twin
screws and quadrupe reciproCating engines,
which are economical and capable of CIV
ing good speed. This port will see little
of the Franconia after she comes here on
her maiden passage from Liverpool in
March, 1911, as she will go Immediately into
the Boston and Mediterranean service.
The Franconia will have large state
rooms and an abundance of deck room
and all the convenienceS necessary for the
Mediterranean trade She will have two
tunnels, like the Carmana and the Caronia,
the new vessels that preceded the Maure-
tania and the Lusitania, but she will be
lighter by about two thousand tons. Plans
have been made for another ship of the
Franconia type, which will be launched
next year.

Supreme Court Justice Mills. in White
Plains, yesterday denied the application
for separation brought by Mrs Alice Kin
sey. of White Plains. against her husband
William s. Kinsey, a linen merchant OF
No. 240 Fifth avenue. New York. Mrs
Kinsey, who is his second wife, alleged

forth that because of his treatment of her
she was compelled to leave him and re-
turn to the home of her mother

Mrs. Kinsey before her marriage was
Miss Alice Thurlow She was a singer,
and it was while she was singing in the
Bronxville church that she first met Kin
sew They met. it was a case of love at
first sight, and they were married in Janu-
airy. 1909.
Justice Mills finds there was no case
established against Kinsey, the charge of
cruel and inhuman treatment not being
sustained. The justice says the wife's
story lacked corroboratfon. while the de-
NAL Of the defendant was materially aided
by the testimony of his daughter Gladys.

told by her stepmother.
Continuing. Justice Mills said: Mere

BIG APE CLIMBS FOREMAST
Atlanta Reaches Port with New
Kind of Lookout.

Some years ago the missing link was re-
ported to be lodging about piers in South
Brooklyn. and a small reward was offered
for It by an animal dealer named Broker
That was long ago. when the animal
shows of Coney Island were worth run
ming The story of the missing link was
quite forgotten until yesterday. when the
Austrian steamship Atlanta docked, and at
once the services of the lost link were much
in demand
The captain of the Atlanta, the steam
ship agents and an animal trainer named
schn1itz were all willing TO give the link
% cents and a bag of peanuts if he would
climb the foremast and pour words Of com
for, into the ears of a female chimpanzee
who was doing light housekeeping on the
crosstrees.
Mrs Jim Tan Zee as the bo'sun called
her was one of some two hundred ordinary
monkeys that were brought here from
Trieste. where ,hey had been left by
German steamship from India
She became affected by seasickness when
a day away from this port, and breaking
out of her cage, shared with three ordl-
nary monks" she went up the mast ana
late last night she was still there.
The bo'sun blames the comic newspa-
ners for the trouble. He said there mad
been too many pictures published in them
elevating the monkey to the level or d
human being. A series of pictures OF
female monkey in evening dress going up
TO her fat in an elevator was found near
the cage Of Mrs Jim Tan Zee, and this the
bo'sun believes caused her to seek higher
lodgings.
Winds blew, seas rolled and the Atlanta
pitched. but the lady of the foremast re-
fused to leave her perch. Ancient eggs,
eggs from cold storage. potatoes and other
viands We're thrown at her, but never
touched her. Once she caught potato, and
she lived on it for the rest of the run to
port.
The observer at Sandy Hook noted the
Atlanta coming into port yesterday, and
seeing the monkey on the crosstrees re-
ported her as having new kind OF look
out
Unless the missing link is found and can
coax the lady of the foremast TO come
down, she will have TO stay there until ex-
haustiou drives her to the deck.

FIVE HUNDRED MEN STRIKE
Go Out from Long Island City Works

Five hundred men employed in the New
York Sugar Refining Company's works. at
Pidgeon and Front streets, Long Island
City, went out on strike yesterday morn
Ing In sympathy with the strike that is
now under way among the big sugar re-
fineries in the Williamsburg section of
Brooklyn. The strike began at midnight.
and as the different shifts OF men reported
for work they were informed that strike
had been declared. By daylight there were
several hundred strikers and sympathizers
around the big building.
Trouble was feared when an attempt was
made to haul sugar from the place. as the
teams have several blocks to go before
crossing the Newtown Creek bridge into
Brooklyn. Beyond boisterous skyiarking
among themselves. however. the strikers
offered no molestation. The workmen are
mostly Poles and Hungarians. officials of
the plant say the men had nothing to
strike for

BUREAU WANTS AN INQUIRY
Would Determine Value of Ser
vice of Health Inspectors.

The statement of DR.. Walter Bensel,
sanitary superintendent Of the Board of
Health. that the Bureau of Municipal Re
search was not composed of men compe-
tent to criticise the work of the Health De-
partment in its efforts to keep down the
infant mortality rate. brought forth a re-
ply from the Bureau of Municipal Re
search yesterday afternoon.
As originally charged in a statement
made the day before by the bureau. the
system in use by the Board of Health
of part time service of physicians and
nurses was said to be responsible for the
continuance of a, high infant mortality rate.
According to the statement of the bureau,
of 80. .420 cases marked last summer to be
kept under observation, only 1854 revisits
were made
In DR.. Bensel's reply he says that medi-
cal inspectors are paid g 80 day, and
that they average from five to six hours a
day in the department service, and when
not thus employed. If they see ht. can at
tend to their private practice. Continuing,
DR.. Bensel says:
Il do not agree with the gentlemen of the
Bureau of Municipal Research that we
would get better results from men who de
voted all of their time to US. That would
mean that would get a class Of physi-
clans who were willing. for the small
wages the city would pay. TO give up all
chances of advancement in their profession.
Under present conditions this work is really
a labor of love. of sacrifice
The bureau recommends investigation
to determine whether health protection re
quires that the present system of part time
service should be changed
'Laymen can understand says the state
ment issued yesterday. that a person Civ
ing his entire time and concentrated
thought to saving babies lives can accom-
plish more than a person giving divided
time and thought" "

horsepower required to lift If and the size
of the propeller blade necessary to drive IT.

made in secret
Mr.. Amess invention is an entirely new

spooI- like disks suspended on either SIDE OF
a power platform revolve with motion
that is forward and upward. while the for
ward drive is obtained by a regular aerial
propeller in the rear.
In stating his theory of flying to-day hlr-
Arnes described it as similar to an up

the spools being similar 10 the twist given
