oughly approve the proposal Of the
president 70 have the ship navigation
laws so amended that vessels of foreign
build may come under the American

DEVELOPS 89.738 n. p;
HIGHEST IN WORLD.

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Germany's recently
completed battleship cruiser Seydlitz
has developed S9,73S propeller horse
power horsepower on its official trials.
This is the highest horsepower devel-
oped by any battleship with turbines
in the world. The Seydlitz registered
an average speed exceeding 2S knots
per hour which gives her rank with
the armored cruisers Moltke and Goe-
ben. The day Of the turbine cruiser
of 100000 horsepower appears not far
off, for Germany has thus far increas-

every successive one. The Won der

its unmeasured denunciation of the

gence" Of directors, the interstate

report on its investigation of the
New England railroad lines was to-
day before the senate committee

troll of railroad financing. interlock-
ing directorates and other subjects
concerned in the investigation.
Administration supporters de-
clared that many of the recommen
dations of the commission agreed
perfectly with portions of President
Wilson's trust legislation program.
The next step In New Haven af-
fairs. however, was expected from
the department of Justice. Apart
from alleged violations of laws of
states and liability of the New Ha-
ven's directors, over which Attorney
General McRcynolds has said the fed
craI statutes have no control the de-
partmcnt was concerned chiefly in
the commissions, findings that all
the acts characterized as corrupt
and unlawful" were for the purpose
of setting up a monopoly in violation
of the federal statutes. The depart
ment of justice has taken that view
in its dissolution suit against the
New Haven system, which probably
will be filed within the next few
days. unless the railroad officials re-
verse their attitude and accept the
terms of peaceful dissolution.
The possibility of any criminal
act being in violation of federal
laws was being considered by the de-
partment. but that phase of the case
is apart from the dissolution proceed
ings.
