Thousand Commuters on the
Philadelphia in PeriI-None
Is Hurt.

NEW YORK, July 14.-There was a
panic among the thousand passen-
gers aboard the Pennsylvania ferry

to the waiting-room. and DR.. Yalen-
tine summoned from the Hudson
Street Hospital. He Gained her and
she was later able TO return home
with some of her friends.
The ferry boat was crossing from
the Jersey side Of the river, crowded
with passengers, automobiles and
trucks. the collision occurring at the
height of the morning rush hours.
The float was moving out from her
berth alongside of pier %. There was
strong ebb tide running, which
made it difficult TO keep her in con-
troll
The Philadelphia was close to her
slip when the huge float was swung
down stream by the tide and against
the starboard side of the ferry boat.
There was a wild cry of fright as the
barge hit the ferryboat and careened
her over to port at considerableNsngle
for moment. Many were thrown to
the deck by the shock of the collision.
The tugs towing the float pulled her
back away from the ferryboat and
the Philadelphia slid into her slip

This gun has a maximum range Of
from twenty-five TO twenty-three

elevation permitted by its carriage
Will enable the gun to fire a projec-
tile about eleven miles across the Pa

theoretically. to pierce two feet of the
best armor at the muzzle. At eleven
miles the gun is calculated to pierce
Finch armor plate, or any side
armor ahoat.
When shell leaves the gun it is
revolving around its axis at about
1000 revolutions per minute and de-
velops a pressure of $4,000 pounds TO
the square inch. The pressure to the
rear on the gun and forward on the
proJeetile amounts to 100000 pounds.
The projectile's velocity of $3.50 feet
per second gives a muzzle energy OF
somewhat more than 1000 foot tons

forty-two tons one foot every second.

Railroads Indicted for
Anthracite Coal Deals;
Fines May Be 81, 900, 900

ROCHESTER,. July 14.-Indict-
ments were filed yesterday in the
United States District Court against
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Northern Central Railway, the Del
aware Lackawanna & Western Rail-
road Company and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Coal Com
pany. All the indictments relate 10
transactions in connection with the
mining of anthracite coal in the
Pennsylvania fields and transporta-
ton to Buffalo and vicinity, and al
lege unfair advantages by the rail-
roads over other shippers.
The four companies are liable to
fines of more than a million dollars
II convictions are secured.
The indictment against the
Pennsylvania Railroad charges vio-
lation of the commodities clause of
the interstate commerce act.
The indictments against the
Lackawanna Railroad and coal
companies charge that the railroad
owns five trestles in Buffalo which
are rented to the coal company at a
nominal rental of S48 year for the
five. The government claims that
this works a discrimination and gives
an advantage to the coal company
in the form of a concession or re-
bate from the freight rates paid by 1t
to the railroad. The indictments
each contain five counts, the MAXI
mum penalty being fine for each
offense of $4,000.

H. Paul Mehlin is the official dele

that lodge came in a special train
that was run solid from Hackensack

WASHINGTON. July 14.-When
its breech- locking device has been
perfected at Watervliet arsenal the
great 16-inch gun, the biggest piece
of ordnance in the world, which has
Just been shipped from Sandy Hook
proving grounds, will be practically
ready for service on the Panama
Canal Notifications. The carriage
for this giant gun is now under con-
struction at the WATERFOWL, Mass,
arsenal It probably viii be taken
back to Sandy Hook for tests after
being mounted and will not be
shipped to Panama before next
spring.
Some idea may be gotten of the
tremendous power of this gun, des-
tined to protect the Pacific entrance
to the Panama Canal, by the fact
that it is fifty feet long. weighs
142 tons and fires a projectile about
six feet long. The projectile itself
weighs a ton and is discharged by 665
pounds of powder. 1t requires eight
men to carry the powder charge.

EIGHTH POLICE
X PRECINCT FOR
/ THE NORTH END
Separate Woodside District De-
olded on by Board-More
Men for Department.

Following the action OF the Com
mon Council in appropriating $4,000
for additional men for the police de-
partment, the Board of Police Com
missioners in conference yesterday
afternoon decided that the contem-
plated new precinct should be created
in the immediate future. Members
of the board inspected several sites
in Halleck street in the Woodside
section, where the new station house
VIII probably be located.
With the creation of another pre-
cinct. which will entail division of
the Second precinct, it will be known
as the Eighth precinct and will neces-
state numerous promotions, including
that of a captain, three lieutenants
and six sergeants. It is intended to
have the precinct manned by forty
patrolmen.
The creation of the new precinct
will mean the addition of more men
to the general department.
Among the names mentioned for
head of the new precinct is that of
Captain John e. Brown, of the Sec
ond precinct. His name has been
mentioned ever since the nrst Talk
concerning a new precinct in the
north end.
Another rumor in connection with
the new precinct was to the effect
that Captain Frank w Tuite may be
transferred from the detective bu-
reau at headquarters to either the
new Eighth precinct or to the Second
precinct.
1t is said there is some dissension in
the detective bureau. The members
OF the squad apparently are dissatis-
fed with conditions.
There is also talk of Captain Joseph
Cordano, irir command of headquar-
tiers ut night, being changed when the
rev precinct station arrangements
are completed. The change of Cap
tain Cordano would mean the appoint
ment of captain from the civil SER
vice list. The list is now headed by
Lieutenant John Carney, OF the First
precinct
The next meeting of the commits
sioners will be held Thursday after
noon, and ut Is then expected that
the promotions will be announced, to
take effect probably on September l.

BOehm's Feat Increases
Hopes for the America

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE record
made on Saturday last by Reinhold
Boehm at Johannisthal, when he re-
NAMED in the air for twenty-four
hours and twelve minutes and flew a
distance of 1850 miles, has caused
members OF the Aero Club to feel
more confident than ever that Lieu
tenant Porte will accomplish his pro-
posed Atlantic flight in the airboat
America.
Boehm used an ordinary biplane In
his fight, and the fact that 1t was not
equipped for an endurance test is an
Indication, according to Henry Wood
house, of the Aero Club, that the
America, with her special equipment,
will be able to carry Lieutenant
Porte to the Azores without mishap.
The route to be followed by Lieu
tenant Porte to the Azores is LAO
miles, or some 210 miles less than the
distance covered by Boehm.

PRICE OF STEERS
PUTS BEEF HIGH
Representative Kent Says Trust
Has Nothing to Do With
the Question.
Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-'Beef is
luxury and always will be in the
United States: The trust has nothing
to do with the high prices. 1t is pure
ly an economic question Beef is high
because 1t costs sos to produce LOO
pound steer today where it cost SAT
twenty years ago"
Representative William Kent, of
California, one of the largest cattle
raisers in the United States, made
this statement today.
A boycott, he said, might decrease
the demand for the present, but it
would not reduce the cost to any ap-
probable extent.
Kent said he did not believe any
abundant crop this fall would appre-
ciably reduce the price.
Pork is high because of hog chol-
era If they ever do away with hog
cholera that will bring down the cost
of pork.
In discussing the beef situation you
must drop the trust" he asserted.
There was time when the trust
practically made prices. But at pres
ent 1t is scarcity of cattle.
THE cost of feeding cattle has
constantly gone up. Twenty years
ago feeders cost three cents a hun
dred pounds. Today the cost is FIVE
and a half and six and a half cents
pound. So there is an increase of
one hundred per cent. in feeding cat
tie alone"
KANSAS CITY, July 1.-THE price
of beef steers continued to climb in
the Kansas City live stock market,
and before the close today it was pre-
dicted that $40 steers might be a
reality.
Native steers brought 1915 at the
top of the market yesterday, equal to
the highest price ever recorded in
July at this market.
