DESTROYER DROPS
 ANCHOR HERE FOR
 FURTHER FITTINGS
Built for U.- S. Gov ernment, Preparing for
 Trial Tests.

The torpedo boat destroyer Wins low, one of the newest craft of the ofl-burning high speed type to be launched for the United States gov ernment anchored off Bridgeport yes- terday that safety appliances might be fitted to her boilers before she en- ters her trial tests early next week at Newport.
 The Winslow, which is novel in many respects, dropped anchor be- tween Bridgeport and Penfe1d reef trip from Newport News where she was launched at the Champs ship yard It is said that officers feared for her super -masts while on the voy- age as she rolled heavily in the trough of seas.
 The Winslow will mount no guns above four inch, will make about 32 knots it is estimated by experts and will have many. features of a pro- teotive nature for convoy of battle ships Her present crew numbers about 64 men.
 Unlike the older torpedo boat de- stroyers of the U. s. N., her tunnels do not offer distinctive marks from afar for recognition but in the erec- ton of the masts certain features have been included that indicate her class and name.
 Visitors were not permitted on board yesterday because of the heavy weather and also because she has not as yet been officially accepted by the government.

 HEAVIEST SHOWS

Lausanne, Switzerland, Monday, Sept. 2O.-(Delayeds inf srnission) win ter snows already falling in the Alps, rendering still more perilous the work of the Italian and Austrian troops who are engaged in warfare in the mountainous region near the border.
 A correspondent of the Gazette De Lausanne describes the battle for possession of the Austrian stronghold on top of Frefkofel Mountain, at an altitude of 5000 feet. The attack was made under most difficult condi- tions. The Austrians had prepared for an assault. from the east. Two bat taIions of Italian Alpine troops made their way around the mountain and attacked the Austrians from the rear. To reach the summit they were com pel1ed to scale the precipitate side of the mountain, c1inging to ropes plac- ed in position by mountaineers. The correspondent states that Italians captured 25O Austrians and large quantity of munitions.

CITY NOT LIABLE :. FOR DAMAGES IN
 SUB WAY BL0W-UP

New York, Sept. 23-By the terms of the contract with the constructing company the city is relieved from any burden of damages for injury to life or property by reason of the accident in the Seventh avenue subway between 24th and 18th streets yesterday. The United States Realty and Improve ment Co.,, which is constructing the subway under Seventh avenue, be- tween 18th and 3Oth streets, known as Section 5, Routes and 38, took the contract for $2,4o1, ,3o6.75 on Dec. 31, 1913. The work is now being about 65 per cent. completed.
 The contract provided that the com pany give bond for $75 ,000 tozfpsure the faithful performance of the con tract, the terms of which protect the city from all liability for damages to persons or property. This provision prevails whether or not city engineers fail to order the contractor to take such injury. The Globe Indemnity Go. and the United States Fidelity Go. assumed the liability for $75,0O0.
 The city, not content with this surety of $75,O0O, also provided in the contract that it might withhold Is per cent of the peri iodicaI payThents, made on certificate of public servfce en- gineers that parts of the work had been satisfactorily completed, until a total of 10 per cent. of the whole amount of the contract had accumu- lated. Ten per cent. would amount to more than $240, 0,OO0. With .65 per cent of the amount of the contract paid to the contractors (about S1, 56O,- oOO), less IS per cent. (about $234,- 00O), it was estimated at the Public Service offices today that the cityehad at least $234,OOO cash onss hand be- longing to the contractors, to meet all claims for damages arising out of yes terdaV'S accident
 Company Will Nave to Pay.
 It was expected, However, that the United States Realty andi Improve ment Go. would settle all claims, and that the city would never be called upon to make good to any claimant.
 The company has the contract for the Seventh avenue Subway construc- ton just south of the section affected by the accident. Section 4, between Commerce and 18th streets, represents construction work amounting to $1,837,z26.50 The company also holds the contract for Section 2, Routes and 36, Broadway, between 26th and 18th streets, amounting to $2, ,657, 7,OO4.50. The total of contracts held by the company aggregates $6,896, 6,O37.75.

London, Dec. %. - Tho now Jap
anese liner Yasaka Maru, which was
sunk in the eastern Mediterranean
Tuesday by submarine while the
steamer was on her way from London
crew Of 100 aboard, was sent to the
bottom without warning. according to
a report received from Port Said from
the agents Of tho owners. All Of those
on board the ship, including one Amer
lean passenger, w. J. Leigh, were
saved. The nationality of the submar-
inc Is not mentioned by the agents,
and previous dispatches referred to
the sinking Of the ship as done by
either an Austrian or Z German sub
marine.
The Yasaka Maru was sunk Tues
day afternoon. A French gnnbost pick
ed up the passengers and crew at mid.
night and landed them ut Port Said
Wednesday morning. The company
provided hotel accommodations for
them and is arranging to forward them
to their destinations. On the passen-

women and fifteen children, most of
whom were British subjects. The
agents in their report say further:
"The passengers express great ad-

NATURAL ADVANTAGES.

One of the natural advantages OF
the great central west Is It's security
from attack by a foreign foe. IL IS
safe to assume that the central west,
the very richest part Of the richest
nation In the world, would be the last
section Of the country to fall before
m invader. This fact is being elab-
GRATED ON by that faction of the pre-
paredness advocates who are interest
ed IN having the government manufac-
ture It's own war materials ana num-
tions in sections Of the country least
vulnerable. In this connection IT IS OF
Interest to note that many members
of congress are paying considerable
attention to the Rock Island arsenal.
The Iowa delegation in congress is a
unit in advancing the claims OF tnls
section for recognition.
The Iowans and their Illinois col
leagues are also pointing out another
advantage possessed by the Rock
Island plant-that Of being in splen-
did labor market. Over one hundred
thousand people live In the near vlcln-
ity OF Rock Island arsenal and labor
conditions there are excellent.
Still another advantage possessed at
Rock Island arsenal is cheap power.
The report from the Rock Island
arsenal that electricity can be produc-
ed there at 3.6 mills per kilowat hour
has created much interest among
members of the house, and Represen-
tative Hull of the second district, has
received requests from more than
thirty members for data on this mat
ter. A report from the Frankfort ar
gena1 to the effect that it costs seven
mills per klowat hour shows clearly,
in the opinion of members, that the
claims of the Rock Island arsenal are
worthy Of the highest consideration.
That the cost of manufacture OF war
materials is going to enter largely into
the whole question Of government
manufacture, and that congress will
nick out the arsenal where power can
be produced at the least cost for In
creases in operation, seems certain.
That being the case, the Iowa mem
hers feel sure that the Rock Island
arsenal will be recognized as the place
of all others for the establishment OF
the largest plant in the country.

SHIPPING PILES UP.

Panama-The entire west coast Of
South America is asking for ships to
move the vast amount Of freight that
is piling up at the various ports await
ing shipment to other countries, ac-
cording to information in shipping cir
cles here The closing Of the Panama
Canal, together with new conditions
brought about by the European war are
the principal causes for the present
congestion. All the ships that touch at
ports along the South American west
coast from Punta Arenas to Panama
regularly are getting all the freight
they can handle, and so much is being
transhipped over the Panama railroad
across the Isthmus that every car the
company has Is in constant use and
there is need Of more rolling stock.
The Peruvian ports are said to be
stacked mountain high with sacks Of
sugar, while in Ecuador 1t is reported
that there are 100000 bales Of cotton
waiting to be moved. and the harvest
of cocoa is SO great that it will have
to be destroyed If not handled soon.
