PHILADELPHIA DELUeED
A Record for Rainfall, at Least In the
Last 29 Years.

Philadelphia, Sept philadelphia
and vicinity, Delaware and New Jer-
sey were swept yesterday by one of
the heaviest transforms in recent
years. Railroad and trolley traffic
were greatly hampered by washouts,
and in Philadelphia considerable dam
age has been done by sewers overflow
ing and flooding cellars. The lines of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore
suffered severely from washouts, and
trains between the two cities were
routed by way of the tracks of the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton railroad. From 655 o'clock We'd
nesday night, August %, until noon
yesterday the total precipitation had
amounted to 90S inches. The only
time this record was exceeded for a
like period was in September, 1882,
when 1O43 inches of rain fell The
heavy downpour continued, and the
record of 20 years ago has probably
now been exceeded.

FISHER FOR ALASKA LEASES
Best Way to Develop Coal Lands,
Says Secretary

Valdez, Alaska, Aug. S0.-Secretary
of the Interior Walter L. Fisher who
has been investigating conditions
with relation to the coal lands stu
alton in Alaska, declared yesterday to
a committee of Valdez citizens that
he believed the early enactment by
Congress of a leasing law would af-
ford the most satisfactory solution
of the problem. He said, however,
that he was not yet definitely com
mitted to that plan.
Secretary Fisher, asserting that the
only alternative TO the leasing system
was absolute government ownership
and operation of the coal mines and
transportation lines. declared that
this was a step to which such a large
part OF the nation was opposed, he
believed 1t scarcely practicable. The
leasing plan, he said, appeared to
offer the probability OF speedier re-
lief to Alaskans. whose most press
ing need was the early delivery of
coal for their domestic and industri-
al uses.

WORLDS BIGGEST wARsHIps
Two New Ones for American Navy to
Hold the Record

Washington, Aug. 31.-The two
new battleships authorized by the
last naval act probably will be of U.s.
500 tons displacement or the biggest
war vessels in the world. The lar
gest ships so far designed for the Am
erican navy are the New York and
Texas with displacement of $1,000
tons each, and it became known only
today that the navy department con
templated exceeding their size.
The new ships will have heavier
armor than ever before put in a bat
tleship, which accounts for their in
creased displacement The armament
of the new vessels will be the same
as the New York and Texas, with a
main battery of ten 14-inch guns.
With this approach TO S0,000-ton
battleship the naval ordnance experts
are considering the question of 16-
inch gun. 1t will require 35,000-ton
battleship to Withstand the terrific re-
coil from a main battery of ten 16-
inch guns.
