 At other points, such as Rockaway Beach, N. r., and San Francisco, he said, 16-inch guns mounted in turrets would be added to the batteries.

 'We have Norfolk defended at Fort Monroe, Washington very much over defended and Baltimore defended. But they could come into Chesapeake Bay and establish a base along that shore then send an army in any direction. There are few such points as that" Charleston, S.

FARE CHARGE ACCEPTED.
No PerceptibIe Opposition to New Copper or Zone System Thursday.

The conductors on the local division of the Shore Line Electric railway had their active service introduction to the new copper or zone fare system Thurs day. On the whole the new scheme worked out well and there is every reason to believe that within a few days it will be working as smoothly as the old system.
 Thursday did not find the conductors as delft in handling their cash receipt books as they will be after few days of steady practice, but they did well and there were no inconveniencing de- lays. On some heavily loaded trips the conductors were put to it to get the fares and turn out receipts in time, but they did surprisingly well in every case, all conditions considered.
 Press notices relative to the new fare system had prepared most of the patrons of the road for the change, but there were others whoN had not heard about it, and the need of explaining was added to the other duties of the conductors. On this particular division the change has been accepted by the public with exceptionally good grace.
 Accounts Not Yet Transferred.
 Recently the Brooklyn Savings bank has been sending out to depositors who have not had their accounts in the Windham County Savings bank, taken over some time since by the Brooklyn
  sorbing bank, circulars requesting that they do so.
 In response to the requests many de- positors have come in and have had their accounts transferred, but there still remains a considerable number of unclosed accounts of the bank that exists no more. Getting these accounts transferred or otherwise closed is a matter that the Brooklyn bank officials would be pleased to have accomplished as quickly as possible, as the handling of their business would thereby be simplified It is also pointed out that it is to the advantage of depositors in terested to give attention to the mat ter.
 Costs Less to Ride to WiIliamsviIIe.
 Some changes from the zone limits marked out for the new fare collection system were announced Thursday.
