ON NEW BATTLESH|P
installation Of Drive on the
California viii Do Away with
Backing Turbines

What is expected to prove a revolu-
tionary departure in the propulsion OF
battleships will be incorporated In the
new dreadnaught California, the first
fighting craft Of any nation to be cleo
trically driven.
The machinery will be built by the
General Electric Company of New York.
Secretary Daniels having just awarded
them the contract upon a bid OF 343l 600.
The California Is now under ,construc-
ton in the New York navy yard, where
a bid of $631 900 for a steam equipment
was submitted.
Naval constructors some years ago
began searching for propulsion
method which would do away with the
steam turbine equipment. which until
today has been considered the best
available for dreadnaughts. Tho chief
difficulty In the turbine drive and re-
ciprocating engines was In tho matter
of reversing the machinery to drive tho
ships astern.
The installation Of tho electric pro-
peller drive, as contemplated in the case
OF the California, has the effect Of en-
tirely eliminating the secondary. inde-
pendent backing turbines. and ship
under electric drive can be sent from
full speed ahead to full speed astern by
the simple process Of reversing the for
ward drive motors.
The electric drive, however. Is in no
way an experiment. for although the

do away with bars and mirrors and fix

PRICE OF MILK WILL
DROP CENT A QUART
Reduction Effective on May !.
Dealers Are Not Likely to
Restore Winter Prices.

Except for those milk dealers who
charge the same price for milk the year
around. most Of the Washington dealers
will drop the price by a cent per quart
on May 1. despite the drought.
So far, dealers say. the drought has
not materially affected the milk supply.
This statement was borne out by those
in charge Of the milk platform at
Union Station. where no decrease In
shipments has been noted.
II the drought continues through
many weeks, 1t Is possible that dealers
may have to go back to winter prices.
but this Is not considered likely.
The only difficulty experienced by
any of the declares has been in the sup
ply Of cream. though this shortage has
not affected the prices. The warm
weather has brought a great demand
for cream. for use in making Ice cream.
but this demand Is not enough to effect
the prevailing prices.
The winter price Of milk is cents.
and many Of the dairies will start the
month by dropping this price to the
usual summer price of s cents.

New York. Nov S.-Attorneys for
the government in the trial Of the
eleven former directors Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road, on the charge of criminal vio-
lation Of the Sherman law, today
read into the record a letter from
Charles S. Mellen, once vice president
and later president Of the road, in
which he applied the phrase, 'mainte-
nance Of your monopoly TO the ac-
tivities of the road in the acquisition
.of the competing properties
Mr.. Mellen, remarked in the same
letter. that through lack of foresight
and delay in the purchase of such
properties, the New Haven had paid
"a tremendous price when with very
little effort the competition could
have been stopped at its inception and
with very little expenditure. -
II was fortunate, he wrote that the
road was rich but is there not limit
beyond which even property IKE
the New Haven can go?'
The letter was written on May 30,
1900, during Mr. Mellen's absence
from the New Haven as president Of
the Northern Pacific, in response to
a request from John NJ. Hall, then the
New Haven's president, to put him IN
touch with the interests in control OF
I the Central New England railroad
with a view to purchasing it,
The government expects tomorrow
to put in more letters intended to
show how the fight was continued un-
til the New Haven finally decided to
purchase the property The road was
controlled at the time by Chester w
