stonnina a Steamship.

NJ Bertin. chief engineer of naval con stru Ftion in the French navy, figured out from elaborate calculations in how short a distance a steamship can stop. He demonstrates that a 50.000 ton transatlantic liner, going twenty nine knots an hour, simply by stopping the engines will come to a stop in one hour and thirteen minutes and will in that time have travelled 4.78 statute miles. The same vessel with recipro- eating engines. if these be reversed, will stop in twice its own length and if the engines be turbines in four times its own length. These theoreti- cal calculations are verified by actual experiment. The French minister of marine made the test with some, tor pedo boats and has on several occa- sions stopped one by reversing its en- zine to 606 yards and. when the en- zines were of the turbine type in 273-4 yards.-New York World.

DRYAN TELLS TAFT OF
 HIS PLANS FOR PEACE
H2brdSkdn Would Follow Labor
 Idea Among Nations.

William J. Bryan and President Taft discussed world peace at their conference at the White House. MT. Bryan suggested a plan to the presi- lent to further his peace arguments which are based on the methods em- ployed in several ountries to settle 'abor disputes. His idea Is that several nations are unwilling to accept arbi- tration in its entirety, but would take kindly to the new scheme.
 Colonel Bryan proposes that nu utions that will not enter into arbitration treaties agree to submit internationa controversies to a complete inves:iga- ton by an international board before war is declared. The moral effp of m impartial finding of this churl ter would. he believes, prevent the N uen- Ing of a breach between two E.,.lons Into actual warfare.
 ' The plan is drawn from the labor statutes of Canada. There 1t is re- 9uired by law in cases of l%hor dis outes that before a strike is declared both sides shall submit to an investi- gation of the controversy by an i'm partial board. This board renders report giving its opinion as to the causes and merits of the controversy and offering suggestions for its settle nent. It is not binding upon either side. The Canadian government de- bends upon public opinion entirely to give effect to this report, and it has been found that in a large percentage of cases this method is sufficient to prevent an open rupture. Not only is public opinion centered upon the situ- ation. but the parties involved are of fered fair and impartial suggestions for amicable settlement of the contro- versy.
 It is the belief of Colonel Bryan that a provision of this character could be made the basis of interna- honal treaties or that such a provision could be added to arbitration treaties which cover only a limited number of questions.
 It Is realized that complete arbitra- lion is a long and radical step for ward and one which a great many countries would not now consider. Colonel Bryan believes, however, that If more conservative and less binding proposals were made to them they would accept.

ACCUSE ALFONSO OF GRAFT.
Deputy Ursaiz Charges Fraud In Con-
 nection With the Redemption 'a of National Debt.

Republicans and Radicals generally are making great capital out of the re- cent condemnation of King Alfonso on the floor of the cortes by Deputy Ur- saiz, formerly finance minister and a leading Conservative.
 Ursaiz virtually accused the king of gigantic embezzlement of public funds In connection with the redemption of the national debt, for which Premier Canalejas is striving. The seriousness of the deputy's charge did not dawn upon the people at first, but the Re publicans are scattering an explana- ton of the charge broadcast, for it's effect promises to be more serious than all the campaigning the Rad lcals have been doing. for years.
 The statement. wasNcalled out by a proposition the cabinet submitted to the cortes to pay at par for a large Issue of bonds, originally sold at low figure The amount of the "rake-off" the holders will secure if the plan goes through is about $5,600,O00 Al fonso owns most of the bonds.

FIRE IN MINE KILLS 70.
Throop, Pa., Scene of Disaster Which
 Causes Many Deaths.


 Causes Many Deaths.
 Seventy mine workers, men and boys, shut in the lower workings of the Pancoast mine at Throop, Pa. by a fire which blocked their only egress to the bottom of the slope leading to the surface. are reported to be dead. suf- located by the smoke C- burned as they dashed into the flames in the hope of breaking through to the other side Twenty-one bodies have been recov- cred.
 The fire which caused the mine hor- TOT broke out from some unknown and mysterious cause in the engine house at the foot of the shaft. Many attrib- ute 1t to spontaneous combustion. At the time there were 300 men and boys in the various veins and chambers of the mine. The flames set off accumu- lations of gas, which increased the diff fculty and doubtless increased the loss of life.

Mrs. Hyde appeared at the jail. She was admitted immediately, and, rush. ing to the cell of her husband, em- braced and kissed him. The news travelled quickly from tier to tier, and as the prisoners, men and women, on the different floors heard 1t cheering spread throughout the entire prison and continued for fully five minutes.
 Hyde's conviction followed investiga- tion of a series of deaths in the Swope family instituted by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Logan Swope. James Moss Hun toon died Oct. 1, 1909. Two days later Colonel Swope had convulsions and died. When his will, leaving $1,600,- 900 to relatives, was filed, Miss Marga- ret Swope, a niece; Chrisman Swope and two other relatives became i'll of typhoid. Chrisman Swope died.

Held Bible and Rudder.

Some years ago Japan was neither so free nor so friendly with other nations as she is today. Tn those old days when a foreign ship entered the Japa- nese ports the captain was obliged to place his Bible and rudder in charge of the chief officer of the port and leave them there until he was ready to sail. Of course he wouldn't sail without either. and the Japs could easily keep tabs on the movements of all ships in their harbors.

FAST DAY FIRES
Holiday Usually Disastrous to Forests in Particular

Holiday Usually Disastrous to Forests l. in Particular
 Fast Day and forest fires Ill Con- necticut were co-incident fast year and State Forester Samuel N. Spring is sues 8 warning to people to be careful this season. According to State Forester Spring 1000 acres were burned over last year on that day by sixty-three fires, with damage to timber. buildings and other property estimated at about $40,0 ,0O0. This is the worst record for one day in many years, and carries a warming for the coming holiday if drought again prevails. Fast Day followed several weeks of dry weather, and beat all records for heat and wind in the month of March. with a temperature of 80 degrees in some parts of the state and high wind blowing. Under such conditions burning brush and rubbish near woodland was very dangerous business. and yet many yet many people chose the day for that purpose.
 The bad record for that day may be laid to unusual conditions and thoughtless use of holiday. Of the sixty-three fires reported, seventeen were attributed to sparks from loco motives, but the rest to brush burning, carelessness, incendiarism, and unknown causes doubtless of a similar nature. of fires by holiday pleasure seekers is difficult to control except by arousing public sentiment and by enforcing present good laws on this subject. Last year there were were fourteen successful prosecutions. To enforce laws is often unpleasant for property owners as we'll as thoughtless pleasure seekers, but examples are necessary and beneficial. It is vitally important. MT. Spring says, that the people under stand the forest laws, which follow, and and their object, which is conservation of the forests:
 General Statutes 1920. No person shall kindle a fire upon public land without authority, nor upon the land of another without permission of the owner thereof, or his agent.
 General Statutes 1921 (as amended by Chapter 43, Pablic Acts of 190T. No person shall kindle, nor authorize an other to kindle fire in his woodland, unless all combustible material for the space of twenty feet surrounding the place where said fire is kindled have been removed, nor shall any such fire be be left until extinguished or safely covered.
 General Statutes 1929 (as amended by Chapter 238, Section 8, Public Act of 19O5). Fires kindled by throwing down lighted match, cigar. or other burning substance shall be deemed within the provisions of Sections 1920 and 1921, and every person violating any provis- ion of said sections shall be fined not more than.$500, or imprisoned not more than g. K months, or both.
