sky SQUARES OF CITY
IN GREAT WHITE WAY
Baltimore Adopts Modern
Method of Ornamental
Street Lighting.

Stuart Stevens Scott. writing in the
Municipal Journal. gives the following
description OF Baltimore's new Great
White Way
The new system of public ornamental
electric street lighting recently installed
ian the city of Baltimore, Md. is the first
installation of its kind in the country
with the single exception of small in
stallation in the city of New Haven
Conn, which served practically only the
purpose of a sampled. and Is tho largest
single initial installation of public orna
mental street lighting in the country,
comprising some six hundred posts, COW
ering approximately sixty blocks in the
business district of the city. The promo
ton of this system was accomplished by
George A. Miller. who is known all over
the country as White Way Miller"
The lamp employed Is the new orna-
mental inverted luminous arc recently
perfected by the General Electric Com
pany. Its chief characteristics are Its
power of distributing a large volume of
light evenly in all directions and the ia
clity with which it may be employed in
ornamental street lighting, that is, in
verted on the top of an ornamental street
lighting standard or post.
While Baltimore is now perhaps the
beSt-lghted city in the country, this new
installation is not what is usually known
as the modern typical great white way"
but may be more properly described a
system of permanent ornamental public
commercial lighting. achieving, first, light.
and incidentally characterization The new
lamp is quite revolutionary in character
and sets a new pace In ornamental street
lighting.
All Shadows Eliminated.
One of the peculiarities of this Orna
mental inverted luminous arc is that,
while the lamp or the light itself is only
another adaptation or variation of the old
style arc, yet owing to the peculiar con-
struction Of the globe it. has the faculty
of eliminating all shadows, including the
shadow of the post itself upon which the
lamp is erected, and at the same time
diffuses a great volume of light, prin-
an even volume in all directions. 1t has
been truly said that Baltimoreans will
for the first time see the contour of the
skyline of their tallest buildings at night.
The globe Is approximately sixteen
inches wide and eighteen inches tall, and
is filled with perfectly even, soft, pearly
light, not too glazing at its source and
yet bright enough to achieve its practical
purposes. The globe is absolutely filled
with this light and does not flicker or
fluctuate in power or efficiency. The in
ternal mechanism of the lamp is some
what large in bulk and more or less
intricate, and with the casing, weighs
some forty-f1ye pounds, and Is about five
and a half feet in length.

Hard Riding, Hard Hitting and

playeks OF the Fifth Horse by the lop-
sided iscore of 10% to 3. 1t was a
closer game than the score indicates,
but at no time after the third period
was Maui in danger OF losing, and in
the final periods the hard-hitting visit

the impression Of still having some

The game was not nearly SO good
one from the spectators standpoint
as the initial match. Of the tournament
between Maui and Oahu last Satur-'

score, but also because the class OF

boxers ever developed in this com.
munity, passed away Wednesday
night at the City and County Hospital,
his death resulting from a peculiar
combination of circumstances that
caused the police to investigate the
matter. Detectives were detailed on
the case, and notwithstanding the fact
that the doctors in charge at the hos

Not so many years ago Mcconnell.
was believed to be one Of the most

the boxing business, but he received
severe injuries early in his boxing
career and never did develop. 1t was
in a battle in 1903 at the old Wood

with Spider Welsh; and In that en-
counter he was so seriously injured
that he was laid up for a long time
from partial paralysis. He never fully
recovered and was cripple for all

So we'll did the sporting fraternity
of this city think of Mcconnell az a.

benefits were arranged for him and
several large purses subscribed for to

and in quarrel at his home month
ago he was severely injured by his
stepfather, John Connolly. Connolly

England's possible attitude regarding
the arrest 1t cited the International
law on the subject and stated that
most of the authorities supported Il
view that would justify Captain
Wilkes act. 1t also dwelt upon the
fact that England had uniformly in
sisted on the right of search even in
times of peace; therefore her govern
ment could not object to the arrest Of
the two commissioners without stulti-
flying her own record Yet the most
farsighted men Of the time feared that
Great Britain would seize on the Incl
dent us ground for declaring war.
There was threefold motive for SO
doing. She could thus break the block

with the cotton trade on which so
many of her mills depended, she could
be avenged for past defeats at the

Mighty Good Kansas Law.

Christian Science Sentinel: One
year ago the Kansas legislature passed
a law requiring that before any stock

that state the seller must obtain a
permit and certificate from the bank
ing department of the state. In order
to obtain that permit the financial
standing, organization, plans and op-
erations of the company whose stock
or bonds are to be sold, must be pre-
sented to the banking department
and be passed upon. Out of over five
hundred requests made in ten months
since the law went into effect, only
fOrty-four have been granted. One
mining promoter is In Jail for trying
to sell stock without permit. The

Making the Arrest.
In the midst of the commotion two
of the San Jacinto's men took Mr.
Mason by the collar and led him to
the boat. assisting him on board, the
same operation being performed in
the case OF Mr.. SlideIl ana the two
secretaries. Eustis and Mcfarland.

Jacinto offered to accommodate them
If they desired. but the invitation was
declined Commander Williams after
his return to England told Il story of
Miss Slidell having struck Lieutenant
Fairfax repeatedly in the face, but
this was afterward denied by Fair
fax, who said the only basis for the
story was that lurch OF the ship had
thrown the lady against his shoulder.
There was one phase of this affair
that seems little less than providential.
| Captain Wilkes, in writing, had in
structed Lieutenant Fairfax as fol-
lows:
.tShould Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Slidell, Mr..
Eustis and Mr.. Mcfarland be on
board you will make them prisoners
and send them on board this ship i'm
mediately and take possession of her
| Che Trent as prize"
An Incident That Averted War.
This part Of his instructions Fairfax
chose to ignore. Not only so, but he
was careful to give no unnecessary of
tense to the commander of the Trent.
At one time. when that vessel was
drifting into shallow water and Cap
| tain Moir warned the Americans to
hurry or he would not be responsible
for the ships safety. Lieutenant Fair
| fax signaled for the San Jacinto to
! draw away, so that the Trent might 20
more into the channel. Upon return
| ing to his own vessel with the prison
ers Fairfax told Captain Wilkes what
| he had done and urged that the Trent
| be not taken as prize. advancing as
an argument that it would delay their
movements and divide their crew. thus
making 1t impossible for the San ia
cinto to participate in the attack on
! Port Royal, as was then planned. This
argument seemed to convince Captain
| Wilkes, and he consented that the Brit
ish vessel go on her way. On such
small incidents does history sometimes
! turn. Had the Trent been taken as q
/ prize it is scarcely possible that war
with Great Britain could have been
! averted.
1t is surprising that Captain Moir
| did not insist on the Americans TAX
| ing command Of his vessel and thus
| have forced the issue. He himself said
| later that the British admiralty was
every much disappointed and displeas-
| ed that he had not done so. His re-
ply was that it had never occurred to
| him. Lieutenant Fairfax having been
so courteous and having engaged him
