QUICK LUNCH COUNTERS.
A New System TO be Adopted For All
Battleships In The United
States NAVY

An experiment in maintaining sys-
TEN Of quick lunch counters on a bat
tleship is being made on the United
States ship New York.
Although it has been inaugurated bur
short time it has proved such a sue
cess that the system may be extended
throughout the fleet. A preliminary
report states:
THE question of serving food direc;
to the individual has been given a GER
tain amount of consideration for
number of years; but the time that
elapses after the first man in the line
presents himself until the last one is
served and the distance some of the
men have to go to reach their tables
offers serious obstacles.
The difficulty has been solved by
establishing sub-stations in different
parts of the ships from which food
could be served. Before the ship left
New York in January enough 1S-inch
oval serving trays. extra bowls and in
dividual butter chips were procured tc
make it possible to serve about 100 men
after the manner in operation in GER
tain quick lunch restaurants in New
York and which has been adopted in a
number of manufacturing plants all
over the country.

CARDINAL NOT TO ACT
Will Not Ban Dances Without Papal
Order.

Cardinal Gibbons has received no
word as yet. from Pope Benedict as TO
a ban on the holding of dances by
parishes in this diocese. and declined
yesterday afternoon to discuss the
matter.
Dispatches received in Baltimore
yesterday afternoon stated that Car
dnal Farley, of New York, had issued
a letter to the pastors Of the churches
in his diocese forbidding them to coun-
tenance or to attend dances held for
the purpose of raising funds for their
respective churches. The order issued
by the Pope is based on the action of
the Third Plenary Council of Balti-
more, and which met in that city in
1885, and went on record as opposing
the holding of dances for the purpose
of raising funds for church work.
No action will be taken by the Car
dinaI in the matter of prohibiting pas
tors from holding dances unless he
receives communication from the
Vatican. If such an order is received
this will not prevent Catholic associa-
tions or individuals from holding or
participating in dances.

$50, 100000 MORE FOR
NAVY, SENATE PLAN.
Chairman Tillman's Committee viii
Begin Work On Bill June Is.

Senator Tillman, chairman of the
Naval Committee, announced yesterday
that his committee would begin con-
bill on June 49,
Senators Penrose, Lodge. PoindeXter
and Fall, Republican members of the
committee are at Chicago, but their alb
sence will not interfere with consider
alton of this measure There is virtual
unaniminty among the members of
this committee regardless of politics
that the House building program must
be increased.
The absent Senators will return to
Washington in ample time to exert
their influence on all big questions per-
questions involved in the bill will be
passed upon until after the return of
the Democrats. 1t is fully expected
that the naval bill will be in committee
a month or six weeks.
In view of the recent naval engage
ment between the British and German
fleets and the lessons that fight may
teach II the purpose OF the Senate COM
mittee to have the members Of the
General Board give their views re-
garding the building programme.
Up to the time of the North Sea bat
tie the committee was practically uni
ted on the necessity for the addition
of one more battle cruiser and two SUI
perdreadnaughts, none of the latter
class having been authorized in the
House bill
The Senate will also increase very
materially the personnel of the navy
and provide for additional dock facili
ties. The need of more submarines and
airships in sufficient number also will
be pressed by Chairman Tillman and
other members of the committee.
1t is probable that more than $780,
100000 will be added to the total car
ried by this bill when it passes the Sen
ate.

There's only one way to cure catarrn-

caused by an infiamed condition OF the

Tube. When this tube is indamed you
have a rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. Unless the IN
flammation can be reduced ana TINS

Colonel Twice Avoided
War, Perkins Declares
Special to the Telegraph

New York, April II. - Twice Col
onel Roosevelt had the opportunity to
plunge this country into war, once
with Germany and once with Great
Britain. This, which is a matter of
record in the archives of the Depart
ment of State, ought to be a sufficient
answer TO the charge made by Col
onel RooseVelt'S enemies that he
would crowd the nation into war if
he had the opportunity.
The above statement was made
last night by George w. Perkins. He
was asked if report was true that
friends of Colonel Roosevelt, headed
by Mr.. Perkins, were planning to dis
pei the opinion, obtaining In some
quarters, that the Colonel favors war
more than peace, and that his ambi-
ton was to go down into history as a
world peacemaker. The report had it
that this was the chief desire of Col
onel Roosevelt in wanting to sit again
in the White House.
Mr.. Perkins then reviewed briefly
the history of these two crises, the
first with Great Britain over the Alas
kan boundary, during Colonel Roose-
velt's first term. This was settled on
the terms that Roosevelt held to be
Just and fair.
The second incident which Mr.. Per-
klnS pointed out was an opportunity
for the Colonel to bring about a war
with an European country occurred
while the Alaskan boundary dispute
was pending.
Germany had claims against Vene-
Zuela for its refusal to keep its pledge
to pay the interest on $50, 900, 900 of
German capital which had been in
vested in Venezuelan railroad, Ger
many was on the point or occupying
Venezuelan territory, in violation of
the Monroe Doctrine and the diploma
tic protests of this country when Col
onel Roosevelt stepped in and sue
ceeded in making friendly settle
ment, and one in accord with this
country's attitude where the recog-
nized diplomats failed.
Won Noted Peace Prize
Another friend of Colonel Roose-
velt, when asked about the report,
said:
IF it is Colonel Roosevelt's ambi-
ton to be elected President so that
he would occupy niche in the temple
of fame as the worlds greatest peace
maker. the chances are that he would
succeed. His success is bringing peace
