Rockland Me-, July 1S.-The Dread
naught Wyoming, sister ship of the
Arkansas, which last month officially
established her title to the distinction
of being the fastest as well as the
largest completed battleship in the
world, arrived from Philadelphia, to-
day, for her builders acceptance trials
on the Roekland course.
1t was stated positively that the
ship was not aground in the Della
ware river, as reported, but was sim
ply anchored over night, the anchor
age being the deepest in the river
The Wyoming had a very successful
run up the coast though no special
effort was made to produce extra
speed She left Delaware Breakwa-
ter at 5 T. NJ, on Tuesday, and jog
ged along leisurely, most of the time
at cruising speed. She was tuned up
for a brief period at little better than
10 knots President Henry S. Grove
of William Cramp & Sons, the build
ers, came on with the ship.
The ship is scheduled TO make 26
runs over the mile-course. The Ar
kansas made her fastest mile on this
test at the rate of 21.493 knots an
hour.
The only point in which the Wyom-
ing differs from the Arkansas is in
having larger propellers, they being
four inches larger in diameter, and II
is believed better results will be shown
on this account. The Wyoming never
has had an official test. Her contract
calls for 81 IL knots on her 4-hour
trial

Democratic Tariff Measures Are Up for
Vote, Next Week--Rep. Berger
Attacks Woodrow Wilson.
IN THE SENATE.


Washington, July 1s.--Railroad con-
troll of the Panama canal the rights
of American ships to free tolls and the
from of government under which the
canal management is to be placed
were subjects of directly opposing ar
guments, today, from Senators Bran
degee of Connecticut and Townsend of
Michigan, during consideration of the
canal bill in the Senate. Senator
Brandegree asked the admission of all
ships to the canal at definite tolls with
no favors to American vessels. IL
railroad owned ships abused the privi-
leges thus given them, he said, Con-
gress should then place the offend
ing lines under the Jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission with
power to deal with the situation.
Townsend urged legislation to pre-
vent railroads from getting any grip
on the canal.
"Astute railroad managers know
that the canal will do more, to reduce
railroad rates from coast to coast than
all the orders of commissions COM
bined." declared the Michigan senator.
Senator Townsend addressed the
Senate in advocacy of a single head
ed government for the isthmian zone
in place of a commission government.
He interpreted the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain as
permitting the former to allow Ameri-
can ships to pass through the canal
without the payment of tolls.

sells in the coastwise trade.
