MOTOR LINERS SOON
TO CROSS ATLANTIC

LONDON, Nov. lS.--Developments
in connection with the construction
of motor-driven ships are making
such progress that no fewer than II
ocean-going vessels of the type are at
present being built
Moreover, according to T. L. De-
witt, plans have been prepared for a
vessel of $4,000 tons, which will be
fitted with internal combustion en-
gines.
Two motor liners of about 5000 tons
each are in hand on the Elbe and
Weser for the Hamburg American
Line. 1t is expected that they will
be ready early next year. Two large
motor-driven vessels, built for the
Danish East Asiatic Company, have
been launched within the last fort
night.
These vessels will have no tunnels
and no boilers The fumes from the
engineroom will be led up inside one
of the masts and exhausted at a
| height of As feet above the deck.
| AS the machinery space on this type
/ of vessel is only about one-third that
which would be necessary for steam
engines, much greater room will be
available for passengers and cargo
while there will be an entire absence
of smoke and of the dirt caused by
coaling.
Moreover, the engines can be start
ed in five minutes, as compared witt
the 10 hours required to raise steam
with boilers.

DAVIS HAS PAINS
TO NO PURPOSE

Refusing to work with George A.
Davis on case that had been as.
signed to him by the court, claiming
that Davis had butted in with the in
tention Of grabbing the fee, e. A. c..
Long yesterday asked Judge Clemens
to relieve him as counsel of record
in the matter of George NJ. Curtis, ac.
cused of opium smuggling. AS re-
suit, the judge relieved Long and
appointed Davis, thus making it i'm.
possible for Davis to collect a fee.
An attorney appointed by the court
to defend a prisoner supposed to be
without funds is not permitted to
take a fee, so Davis is apparently
hoist by his own petard.
Long explained that after he had
been appointed by the court to defend
Curtis, he was called up on the phone
by Attorney Biting, who asked leave
to be associated with him To this
Long gladly agreed. But Biting was
appointed district attorney and had to
withdraw. Then, according to Longs
statement, Davis butted in without so
much as by your leave, secured the
release Of Curtis on bond, and in all
the transactions never informed Long
that he had anything to do with the
case. Long said that, in such circum-
stances, he preferred to have nothing
to do with the matter, and withdrew
leaving Davis alone in the field, but
with his chances of fee gone glim-
mering.

STRAUSS OPERA EXPUReATED.

BERLIN, November 1S.-It is a re-
markable fact that DR.. Richard
Strauss's latest and most successful
opera, Der Rosenkavaller," had been
played in almost all the important
towns of Germany before the Royal
Manager of Plays, Count Won Hulsen,
allowed it to be produced in Berlin,
where Doctor Strauss occupies the
position of musical director.
This anomaly has now been ended
but, it is rumored, only after a long
conflict with the Empress, who en-
ergetically opposed the performance
in any of the royal theaters.
The libretto was far too free for the
Empress, and the performance has
been rendered possible only by elimi-
mating numerous passages which the
Empress did not consider suitable for
the German public.
The whole text has been remOdeled
to suit the Empresss ideas, and now
it is in harmony with the high stand
ard of morality that is supposed to
prevail in Berlin,
