Picks Up Big Things.

From Casters Magazine
The introduction of the lifting magnet.
however. has rendered it unnecessary for
such laborious work as the handling of
pig iron to be performed by human ef-
fort at all, and the results. as given in
the unloading Of the steamship Erwin L.
Fisher at Indian Harbor, Ind. give the
comparative figures for the man and the
machine. With a cargo OF 4.OO0 900 pounds
of pig iron. the time required to unload
this vessel with twenty-eight men was
two days and two nights, which corre-
spends to about 1900 pounds per man per
hour, or about fifteen tons per day Of
ten hours. When the lifting magnet was
introduced the total time required for un-
loading was reduced to eleven hours, and
this was done by two men, whose labor
consisted in manipulating the controllers
in the cages Of the cranes. Thus two
men and two magnets did the work of
twenty-eight men in less than one-fourth
the time. Under these conditions the
handling capacity of a man and a mag
net was nearly 1000 tons in eleven hours,
or about 200 tons per day. Furthermore.
the operation was chargeable with less
than one-fourth the amount of overhead
charges, while the vessels were enabled
to double their number of productive
trips.

Needed Railway Improvement.

The proposed change of street car
tracks on Florida Avenue, between
Ninth and Seventh Streets Northwest,
taken up by the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association, by which the cars
of the Washington Railway and cleo
trio Company would be carried around
through Eighth Street extended to
Georgia Avenue, meets the approval of
The Washington Herald. The neces-
sary changes in trackage, to provide
for relieving the congested traffic at
that point, is contained in a bill pre-
pared by Melvin c. Hazen, Surveyor
of the District, providing for the OPEN
ing of the continuation of Eighth
Street and its occupation by the street
railway TO the north boundary of the
property owned by the railway through
which the tracks would pass to Georgia
Avenue
The short tracks passing along Flor
ida Avenue. between Ninth and Seventh
Streets, carries the combined traffic of
the Ninth Street, the Seventh Street,
and the Florida Avenue cars. During
the rush hours the stream of travel is
so great that the cars are continually
passing in both directions-twenty-h
seconds apart This with the, wagon
and automobile traffic necessary to Il
crowded business section Of the city
creates a veritable man trap, in which
numerous accidents have occurred in
the past and are bound to occur in the
future.
1t is absolutely necessary to relieve
the street congestion at this point, and
the plan proposed is the most practica-
Bile of any so far suggested. One i'm
portant question is involved in the pro-
posed change. namely, the discharge of
the passengers who attend the ball
games at American League Park, but
the distance from the point where the
tracks will swing into Georgia Avenue
is less than half a square from the
park entrance. and this short distance
will probably prove no practical barrier
to the proposed change.

The Next Naval Budget.

To keep the United States Navy
abreast of the national needs the gen.
eral board of the navy, headed by Ad-
miral Dewey, has recommended the
authorization by Congress next year
of four battleships of the Pennsyl-
vania type, two swift and powerful
battleShip cruisers nearly as large, and
a proportionate number of torpedo
craft and auxiliaries. The recommen-
dations of the naval board are based
upon the conviction that a feet of
forty-eight battleships with cruisers and
auxiliaries and torpedo craft in proper
ton is required for the adequate de-
fense of the coasts, commerce, and de-
Tendencies of the United States The
Secretary of the Navy doubtless will be
obliged to strike compromise between
the recommendations of the board and
the known opposition of Congress to
such large expenditures. In naval cir
cles it is predicted that he will recon-
mend the authorization of three battle
ships and possibly one battleship cruiser
For considerable period, until this
year, Congress usually had authorized
two new battleships a year, but the
Democratic House at the last session
cut this down to one By recommending
the construction of three at the session

Meyer will try to enable the naval de-
tense to catch up with the former rate

board believe the fleet requires FIVE
Pennsylvania. This is the largest type
of battleship ever projected in the Unit
ed States. although there have been re-
ports of the authorization of a $1,000
ton fighting monster by Great Britain
The general board is of the opinion
that two OF these battleship cruisers
should be built each year until there
are at least eight. Eight destroyers of
thirty knots an hour and Of the same
design as those now under construc-
ton have been recommended.
According to the report of the gen.
eral board. the shortage in destroyers
on the basis of thirty-three battleships
now in the navy is seventy-four.
The board finds that the navy at
present is ten fuel ships short of its
needs, and that it is necessary if the
efficiency of the navy is to be upheld
that two be built next year
A hospital ship, repair ship, one or
two tenders for submarines, and de-
stroyerS. supply and ammunition ships,
are also considered in the report.

STRIKERS TIE UP
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Seven Thousand Operatives Go Out

Lawrence. Mass. Sept. sO.-Seven
thousand OF the 500 operatives in the
cotton wooden mills here went out In

threw 81. 1000 other workers out of work
through the closing down of depart

was in sympathy with the Ettor-Gio-
yannetti defense which is trying to
throw the blame for the killing Of a
woman in last winters riots on to the
shoulders of officers of the law.
Sympathetic strikes were held in
many parts of the country. Thirty
granite quarries were closed at Quin-
cy, Mass. while 5000 men tied up four
teen mines at BallvernOn, Pa, for
twenty-four hours. as the organizers
said, Just to show what they could
do" At St. Gainesville. Ohio. 5000
miners refused TO work. acting in ac-
cord with the l. W. W.

morning and attempted to prevent nom
strikers from going to work. Two hun
dred policemen, using their clubs so free
ly that there are many cracked heads
here tonight. drove the rioters back
and those who wished to work worked
all day.
A woman organizer, Miss Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn. told the strikers to-day
to go back to work peaceably in the
morning. There was some murmur Of
dissent as the strikers evidently believ-
ed the period of idleness would last
much longer.

Virginia Judge Rules Against Man
Who Sells Booze on Ark

HISTORY OF THE LITIGATION

Alexandria. Va. Oct. John AIRING
ton violated the law in dispensing ar
dent spirits from an ark in the river
near Jones Point. Notwithstanding the
fact that he has a government license.
and he was fined so in the Police Court
this morning. The foregoing was a de-
cision handed down in court to-day by
Justice Caton. Arlington noted an ap-
peal to the Corporation Court. The court
was OF the opinion that the mere fact
that Arlington has a government license
does not make the dispensing of ardent
spirits legal. inasmuch as an ark is not
boat in the sense OF boat used for
carrying passengers. and to the mind Of
the court was violation of the law.
The case of Arlington came up in
court several days ago and was con-
tinued. According to Arlington. at the
time the case came UP. he transported
patrons to the ark in a gasoline launch
which he kept on the move with con-
siderable regularity.

MINISTER BRUN
GLAD TO RETURN
Reappointed Danish Diplomat Pre-

Great Britain.
MEANS SALARY SACRIFICE

London. Sept 3o.-Constantin Brun. the
newly appointed Danish Minister to
Washington, will leave London for New
York on October >. He will proceed d.
rect to Washington.
Mr.. Brun, who was Danish Minister
to the United States from 1895 to IS0s,l
in an interview yesterday expressed thei
greatest enthusiasm over returning TO-
America, which. he said. he loves so
deeply that he has never taken kindly
to his London post. though. as he REL
marked. he fully appreciated the fact
that it was the highest honor that could
be conferred on any one in the Danish
diplomatic service.
Asked TO Return.
Il accepted the London appointment
with mixed feelings" said Mr.. Brun
During fourteen years soiourn in Wash
ington ! had learned TO know and love
the American people. I realized then
that I vas leaving behind a host OF
good. loyal friends. and ever since my
greatest interest has been in America. {
I'm our service London is recognized
as a high post. and my removal from
Washington was a promotion. but very
soon after coming to London I realized
that l was bound by ties OF friendship
to the interests of America, and then II
knew l would rather live there than I'M
England. though here have been treat
ed with the utmost cordality and hos
pitality by King George, the court and
the whole OF society.
Il felt my departure from America so
deeply that soon after coming to London
/ asked that. should opportunity arise
l be sent back to Washington. At last
my wish is gratified. and though I have
nothing but the happiest memories OF
my term in London. my natural sorrow
at the severance of such pleasant rela-
tions is far outweighed by the pleasure
OF my return to Washington.
Il have no private income to speak of.
and am sacrificing my salary to go back
to America, but l do so gladly"
Mr. Brun. who is keen horseman. has
already sent two Irish hunters for his
use to Washington. He has taken
house at Bar Harbor. where he will
spend the summer vacation. He said he
thought Bar Harbor a glorious resort.
He used to spend his summer holidays
there. He regretted. however. that his
former residence in Washington had been
demolished. and he expected to have
difficulty in securing suitable premises
for the new legation.
In Mr.. Bruins residence at Upper Bel
grave Street London. he has cherished
numerous mementos OF his sojourn in the
L nited States. Conspicuous among the
decorations in his private Office is small
Stars and Stripes flag, which Mr.. Brun
said he had had since 1896, when II was
given to him in Washington On the
walls are several American pictures. On
his desk are a Washington telephone d.
rectory and a Social Register" They
doubtless remind him OF happy associa-
tions soon to be renewed.
