London, October 1S.-Industrial efficien- slcy is becoming almost as great a battle cry in British industry as it has been l for some years in American production and exceedingly valuable work is being done by British scientific men, under the direction of the various government de- partments, in laying the basis for closer organization of Englands factories with a view to securing the greatest output consistent with the health and comfort of the workers. The results show in- .lvariably that in England, as in Amerlca' I'poorly paid labor under bad conditions, S is dear labor and that the cheapest I labor is that done for good wages by healthy and happy workers.

Steam Turbine Business

From the Electrical World. Since the beginning of 1916 the de mand for steam turbines has far out stripped anything in the past. A compilation made by the Electrical steam turbine manufacturers discloses
 the fact that the volume of steam turbine business already handled since the beginning of the current year ex- ceeds 100000 kw. in rated capacity
 At this rate the total 1916 business should reach 3,0O0,00O kw. in turbine capacity
 The manufacturers, it was found were Ioath to predict what the 1916 total would be. The volume of busi- ness depends entirely on what the manufacturers can turn out, the amount being practically limited tc the capacity of factory facilities. Al present the outloog for the balance oi the year seems to be fairly good There is a slight let-up in the total
 volume of business, but this is due
 entirely to deliveries.
 At present orders now on hand are
 sufficient to keep the entire manufac-
 turing facilities in operation for con- siderably more than 8 year. The bulk of the years business is coming from central stations, with an appreciable amount from industrial and marine installations.
 Many large units have been ordered
 since the beginning of the year. Nota-
 ble in this respect have been orders for a 73,0Q0 horse power and 60,000 horse power unit and an order for two cross
 compound units of a total rating of
 95, 900 kw.
 Both labor and material have been
 hard to obtain in satisfactory quan- tity and price, and both have greatly increased in price during the year. Turbine prices have, therefore, neces- sarily advanced
 This volume of business is attributed to the prevailing conditions and un- usual industrial activity, and as long as the European war continues it is the opinion of at least one prominent manufacturer that the demand for steam turbines will be large.

Indoors to Get Fresh Air
he Engineering Record

From the Engineering Record
 The usual procedure in securing fresh air has been reversed by the Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad. Since the in- stallation in that road s blacksmith shops at Greenvile, Pa, of new blower and exhaust system, it is common occur renee to hear the remark that I'm going inside for some fresh air.
 The officials of the company believe they have gone as far in promoting the comfort and efficiency of the workmen as has been done anywhere. Under the floor of the shop are two independent pipe lines for ventilation, blower system and an exhaust system. In one corner of the

shop are the three fans-two blower fans and an exhaust fan. The blower sys- tenn starts with two 15-inch lines, whicn branch off and taper down to smaller
 sizes to reach each machine. The ex- haust line reaches diameter of 36 inches at the fan A separate blower outlet and exhaust inlet reach each forge, and in addition a blower outlet reaches every other machine. Thus all dust and gases are sucked away from these forges, and are replaced by fresh air.

CITY Will WAIT
FORNEW TRANSIT
FRANCHISE DRAFT
Municipality Does Not Wish to
Compromise Position
in Advance

The city will take no official part
in the conference to be held Monday
morning between the Public Utilities
Commission and the representatives
of the Rapid Transit Company at
which preliminary steps to draw up
new charter for the company are
expected to be taKer
The mayor so announced this morn
ing, after receiving an invitation from
the utilities commission to appoint a
committee to attend the conference.
He conferred with several of the SUI
pervisors and then announced that
the city would await the action of
the other members OF the conference
before considering the proposal to
recommend the granting of the new
charter to Congress. Let them sub.
NIT the proposed charter to the super
yisors when II is completed" he said.
Then is the time for the city to give
its approval to the movement. There
is no reason why we should commit
ourselves to the approval of the char
ter as II is drawn up by the Rapid
Transit Company and the utilities COM
mission. Any committee | might APP
point would have no more TO say at
the conference than any of the other
members Of it, yet by the appointment
| would practically give the approval
of the supervisors to any charter that
the conference might draw up"
The suggestion made yesterday by
ID. l.. Conkling, city treasurer, that a
referendum be held on the proposal
to give the new indeterminate charter
to, the street railroad company was
met today with plan to hold pub
lie mass meeting at which the charter
as approved of by the utilities com
the transit company, the SUI
pervisors and the governor, be sub
mitted to a vote of the meeting after
of all of its angles. The
plan has no hacker. No one who
spoke of it would be quoted saying
that it was to be held, but neyerthe-
less ii was declared by several of
hose in position to say so that the
meeting would be held.
Desirable as referendum on the
subject is, 1t is impracticable,' de-
clared James l.. Coke, attorney for |
he utilities commission. Congress
will adjourn by the middle of August |
t will take all of that time to get the
charter in shape, have it approved |
Ind introduced in Congress. Then,
here is no machinery for the holding
IF a referendum, 1t would hold the |
project UP for at least two years.

HABEASCORPUS
DENIED steven
BY HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal Remands A.
legged Illegal labor Recruiter
to Sheriff's Custody

Denying the writ OF habeas corpus
which was brought by o. A. Steven,
charged In circuit court with illegal
recruiting Of emigrants. the supreme
court today remanded the petitioner TO
the custody OF the city and county
sheriff from the ball which was adj
United TO him pending the proceed
ings.
The case was argued in the supreme
court on April IA and Is, w j. Robin
son and c. II. Mcbride appearing as
attorneys for the petitioner, and John
W. Cathcart and Deputy City Attorney
w. T. Garden for Sheriff Rose. The
writ of habeas corpus was issued on
April IL.
II was contended in support of the
writ that the informations through
which Sheriff Rose made his arrests
were not supported by oath Of any per-
son deposing to the truth Of the facts
alleged In them, and that Steven
could not be legally put upon trial for
such informations
Citing the fourth amendment of the
constitution, the decision says that
while ~no warrants shall issue but up
on the probable cause supported by
oath or affirmation" that the issu-
ance of a warrant, or the service of
valid warrant may be waived and ju-
iisdiction of the person conferred by
general appearance of the accused
and plea to the charge. The decision
furthermore states thath Steven made
answer to each of four such charges
brought against him.
1t is found, therefore that "by the
had. as set forth in, the re-
turn Of the respondent, the petitioner
mad waived the invalidity Of the war
rants, II they were invalid, and sub
mitted himself to jurisdiction of the
court" citation being made from vari-
ous supreme court decisions.

nent Of accusation when liled by a |

oath, we're duly presented and in prop
n form as accusations upon which |

o. A. Steven was again taken into
custody today by Sheriff Charles H.
Rose, but released on $3.50 bond.
Steven is said to be iii, though his
condition is not considered serious.

Willie Asam is expected to testify
that during February Gray asked him
several times to buy lottery tickets
from the runners for Alma, that he
endeavored to do so, but that they
refused to sell to him, denouncing him
as spy for Gray.
That is the advance dope" on the
Gray hearing in session this afternoon
in the supervisors chambers, as it
was given to the Star Bulletin by a re-
liable informant this morning.
The prosecution has rested and It
is now up to the defense to introduce
its evidence in the case. Accused Of
accepting brides from the keepers of
two che-fa games at Wahiawa in a

Chang Chau will be a valuable, If un-
willing witness for the defense before
