NEW TURBINE ENGINE
Westinghouse InUention Of
fered to the Nauy.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau I

Washington, Jan. ga new steam en-
gine. which its inventor George Westing
house, believes will materially increase the
efficiency of the United States navy, has
been presented TO the Navy Department for
testing. Mr. Westinghouse is in Washing
ton in consultation with Rear Admiral
Hutch I. Cone, chief of the Bureau of
Steam Engineering, and other naval officers.
He hopes that the government will begin
experiments with his invention immedi-
ately, and he predicts It's speedy adoption.
In discussing his engine Mr. Westng
house said to-day: while the machine
as a whole is novel, it will be found on
analysis that it is made up of elements
that have thoroughly proved their prac-
ticability and reliability. The turbine
can be installed in less than half the
space required for other engines of
the same power. It's weight is about
one-half that Of the others. By rea-
son of the choice of speeds for propeller
and turbine, the boiler capacity will give
80 per cent greater propulsive effort. Its
construction admits of blading, giving high
steam economy at cruising speeds, as well
as at full and emergency speeds. 1t will
not exceed two-thirds of the cost of re-
eiproeating or direct connected turbines"

OHIO WITH TAFT.
House Delegation to Work for
Presidents Measures.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. z9.-The Ohio delegation
in the House decided at a conference this
morning that it WOULD devote the remainder
of the session to Obtaining speedy action on
the Presidents legislative programme. A
majority of the delegation believed that it
would be unwise to take the initiative in
starting a fight for the enlargement OF the
Rules Committee.
No attempt was made at the conference
TO outline the action Of each individual
member of the delegation in case the rules
question is brought up. The older mem
bers Of the delegation advised that each
member act as a mediator between regulars
and insurgents, and urge them to use their
best efforts TO bring about harmony until
the important Taft measures are passed.
Representative Johnson, one of the regu-
lars, said after the conference: Il am in
favor of going ahead Immediately with the
Presidents programme. 1 do not think we
should hold up this important legislation in
order to quarrel over the rules. If the ques-
tion does come up, however, VIII vote TO

PATROL SECTION FIRE
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judges McCIenahan, Stanton and Wright
Concur in Decision Which Was
Filed Today.

w. S. McClenahan of Brainerd,
c. w. Stanton of Bemidji and B. F.
Wright of Park Rapids, the three
judges of the district court in the
Fifteenth Judicial district, hold that
the patrol section" of the state fire
warden law of 1909 is unconstitu-
tional, their decision having been
rendered in findings which were
filed with Clerk of Court F. w.
Rhoda in this city today.
The constitutionality of the
patrol section" of the state fire
warden law was attacked in several
cases which were brought against
railroad companies last fall, wherein
the state attempted to enforce that
provision of the law which required
the railroad companies to employ
at least one patrolman for every
mile of their railroad through land
liable to be overrun by fires, discover
and extinguish fires occurring near
the line of railroad, by which is
meant a distance within which a
fire could usually be set by sparks
from a passing locomotive"
Judges McClenahan, Stanton and
Wright decided to sit en- banc and
jointly consider a test case which
was taken from the municipal court
at Brainerd, the N. P. Railway com.
pany being the defendant. The case
was heard on the 23rd day of
September, 1910, at which time the
state was represented by John P
Coleman of St. Paul, M. F. Price of
Grand Rapids, with c. A. Hart for
the N. P. railway; w. N. Steele for
the C. N. Railway company; E. E.
Mcdonald, Crookston lumber oom-
pany and R. F. Powell for the Min
neapolis & Rainy River company.
The different features of the state
fire warden law were gone into
pretty thoroughly at that time and
both the attorneys for the state
and council for the different CON-
panies went over the ground
thoroughly with regard to the
patrol section of the law. The judges
took the matter under advise.
ment, and to Judge Wright was
delegated the duty of writing the
decision, in which all three judges
concurred.
Judge Wright holds that the fire
warden statute is void and that the
fire warded paragraph of the statute
is almost wholly composed of terms,
no practically exact definition of
which is known, and that the act
:. itself does not define it; and that in
case of a trial various witnesses
would be unable to testify as to the
season, the nature of the land
through which the railroad passed
and other material issues involved;
and that in submitting the case it
would seem almost impossible for
the court to instruct the court intelli-
gently in the matter.
