Interest is felt in the Hamburg
American lines new venture, a motor
driven vessel of 5000 tons which is
being built by the firm of .Blohm and
Vose Of Hamburg. A new device will
render the exhaust almost silent and
the fumes OF the gases will be invis-
bic and odorless. Two three-cylinder
engines will give the ship a speed of
II 1-2 knots. Tests of 1000 horse
power engines Of the same type have
already been completely successful
and have proved the marine motor
to be very economical. The Ham
burg-American Line is understood to
have made a long term contract with
the Standard Oil company for the de-
livery Of oil. The residue in the pro-
cess OF oil refinement will be used
for oil fuel. Only twenty-seven per-
sons will be needed for the oil en-
gines, while in steam vessels of the
same size about $50 stokers and trim
mers would be employed. Moreover
the motor liner can carry 1000 tons
more cargo than her steam rival.

QUEUE STILL GREAT TOPIC.
North China Herald Says Contro.
versy Has Three Aspects.

Pekin.-Reviewing the controversy
regarding the Chinamans queue, the
North China Herald" says that for
the people of the country the question
has three aspects, the historico- polit-
ical, the aesthetic, and the economic.
In regard to the first there is the
sharp cleavage of opinian between
Manchu and Chinese, for the history
of the queue is still retained in the
national memory: but the line of
demarcation is slightly blurred by the
feeling that in some mysterious way
the foreigner stands to profit by the
proposed abolition.
'By a line of reasoning that does
not appear to have been challenged
anywhere says the Herald, "it is
taken for granted that with the abo-
lition Of the queue must disappear
the present national costume. Pekin
has gone one step farther. for it ar
CUES that with the disappearance Of
the national costume must go hand
in hand the abolition of the Kow-
tow, and here is an ideal rallying
ground for Manchu reaction.
ITO aestheticism we must attribute
the resolve that the national costume
must not be allowed to survive the
queue; and it is only natural that the
alarming prospect of procuring new
clothes at one and the same time for
three or four hundred million people
should be adduced as an economic
argument against the change. Per-
haps the most significant feature in the
popular discussion is the opportunity
it has afforded OF illustrating the
| ever-increasing antagonism against
the Manchu dynasty
Not many years ago the queue, IL
considered at all, would have been
cited as an essential badge Of civili-
zation. Today it comes in for general
condemnation, and is a reminder Of
the cruelty and humiliation to which
our ancestors were compelled to sub
NIT more than 200 years ago" It is
added that on this question there has
! been a remarkable ebulition of feel
ing In the vernacular press of the
south. The time devoted to it's dis
cusson in Pekin is held up to ridicule
as an indication Of the waning pow
or Of the dynasty, for no subject, It Is
pointed out, is too trivial to be hand
led in the attempt to resusticate
Manchu authority

NEWS AND VIEWS
FROM OVER THE SEA

London.-Parliame manoeuv-
so puzzling that it is doubtful if even
many members of parliament them
selves thoroughly understand every
phase of the vexed questions now fac
ing the British government. One
thing, however, is most apparent All
the leaders are exceedingly anxious
to have the king on their side. The
liberals and unionists are and have
been. unquestionably sincere in their
efforts to reach an agreement. Much
censure seems to be directed against
Winston Churchill because of his ap-
parent determination to effect dis
solution of parliament at any cost,
without reference to its disturbance
Of the Christmas trade or the tur-
moil which would result when peace
and quiet are indispensable for the
coronation and the imperial confer

An interesting development has
been the implication of Americans in
the trouble by certain London news
papers. The Standard frankly de-
clares that there would be no consti-
tutional crisis but for the American
subsidizfng of the nationalists. This
journal says that 1T is Redmond's,
not Asquith's crisis Redmond's pat

able experiments planned for Mr..
Ballinger's benefit by DR.. ]. A.
Holmes, director of the new Bureau
OF Mines. Mr.. Ballinger emerged
from the mine with face and hands
blackened by the coaldust, but he was
happy.
The party made up of prominent
coal men, went to Mariana in the
new rescue car of the Bureau Of
Mines. They went through the coal
tipple, after which they inspected
miners cottages and walked more
than a mile to view the construction
of a large reservoir the company is
building to supply water. The COM
pany store was next visited. From
there the party went to the Mariana
Hotel for chicken dinner.
First aid to the injured expert
ments were conducted during the af-
ternoon in the rescue car. Blankets
were spread upon the floor, and a
number Of the cars crew acted the
role Of mine victims. With Mr.. Bal
linger and others as interester spec
tators, others of the crew demonstrat-
ed the practical uses OF safety appli-
ances. Supposed fractures Of leg,
arm and jaw were bandaged. Arti-
ficial respiration was tried and finally
oxygen was administered.
The various manners of making
stretchers, such as a new idea of us
ing the miners own blouse, and the
way in which certain classes of mine
victims should be carried also were
shown. Following the experiments
the entire party went down into the
mine and penetrated into the main
entrance for more than a mile.
"It was a wonderful trip down in
to the mine" said Mr.. Ballinger. "1t
was my first experience in large
Eastern mine, although l have been
connected with mining In small way
out in the West. One can hardly re-
alize what mine is until he has
taken such a trip as the one today"

The DeVilliers Street
Paving Again.

The city council meets in regular
session tonight and there will proba-
bly, be a full attendance. We hope
therefore that the DeVilliers street
paving matter will again be taken up.
This matter can easily De reconsld-
cred and it ought to be reconsidered.
II there are any facts in connection
with the matter which warrant the
paving of DeVilliers street over an adj
mittedly defective sewer, the public
ought to know those facts. In the alb
sence of such facts, the paving work
should be stopped right where it is.
The present condition of the sewer
is menace to the health of the city
and it will in time necessitate the
taking up of any paving that it laid
over it now. Why jeopardize the pub
lie health and waste the public money
by proceeding with this work before
he sewer is repaired, as it will have
TO be repaired some time?
If it is a question of money, The
Journal can make a suggestion by
which some money can be raised, to.
wit: There is between $4,000 and
$4,000 due the city from people who
have never paid their real estate taxes
Their property has year after year
been sold for taxes and bid in by the
city, yet the city government has never
taken any action to collect the money
due on these tax certificates. If the
city needs money so badly, why not in
stitute proceedings to get some of this
$4,000 now so long overdue?
In any event, the DeVilliers street
sewer should be repaired at the very
earliest possible time and no paving
should be laid over it until it is re-
paired.

ATTY. GENERAL TRAMMELL
ON "TECHNICALITIES


Editor Pensacola journal:
l wish to congratulate you upon
your recent editorial in which you so
ably advocated the abolishing of law
technicaliteis and also suggested that
the Florida Bar Association should
pass a resolution petitioning the next
legislature to pass a measure that
would eliminate technicalities and
cause justice and only justice to gov
ern in law suits. If my duties permit
me to attend the Bar Association
which convenes in Tampa, 1 contem-
plate presenting for the consideration
of the association a resolution favor
ing the passage by the next legisla-
ture of bill providing that-no judg-
ment shall be reversed or new trial
granted upon any alleged technical
error unless, after an examination of
the entire case, it shall affirmatively
appear that the error complained of
had resulted in a miscarriage of JUS
tice.
For some time | have been con-
vinced that justice demands reform in
our court procedure along this line,
and in my report made last April to
the Florida legislature, | recommend
ed the passage of a measure providing
that no new trial shall be granted, no
| judgment arrested, and no case re-
versed upon mere technicalities that
| do not reach the merits of the case.
| Following up this suggestion 1 pre-
pared bill covering these ideas and
had it introduced in the legislature,
but 1t failed of passage.
Necessarily we should have uniform
and well defined rules governing the
| trial of both civil and criminal cases.
| The very object of such rules is to
sustain and measure out justice and
so long as the rule or law of procedure
| serves to give justice then it is serv-
| ing its true purpose, but when the
rule becomes the foe of right it de-
feats the very reason and only pa
| triotic demand for rules and law gov
erning the practice in our courts. The
prime and paramount purpose of the
court is to administer justice. The
court serves its purpose only so long
as this is it's guide. Under our system
of court procedure, technicalities have,
all down through its history, at times
| been the vehicle upon which right and
! equity were carried to their DOOM
| This being true we should eradicate

mortgages in your favor? Did it gain
anything by your coming into it that it
could not have worried along without?

veins of varied mineral wealth, before

the trees that bend and burgeon with
golden fruit and were trodden by all
the beasts of the field before you got

perfumed with the fragrance of the
