This ardent suffragist took upon her

great favor with the lawyers by her
skillful cross-examinations. Mrs. Weed
never studied law In her life but she
certainly made things hum some In the

Despite her strong defense, the suf-
fragists were adjudged guilty and fined

No Port in World as Well Equip
ped as New York to Han
die Work.
SAVING IN Time IS SHOWN
High Speed Coal bumpers and Light
ers Simplify Work-10.000 Tons
Can Be Loaded In Six
teen Hours.

New York.-War has speeded up
coaling Of ships In the port OF New
York until no other port in the world
at the present time is as well equip
ped to handle this important task.
So fast has become the coaling Of
big vessels that enormous liners like
the Imperator can have their bunkers
filed to their capacity Of 10000 tons
in 10 hours.
The reason for the increased speed
Is largely high-speed coal bumpers
and fuel lighters. Each one of the
latter is able to give ship 1000 tons
of coal in eight hours, an achieve
ment due mainly to special coal ele-
waiting machinery.
But ships requiring 1000 tons or
less are in the big majority, whether
considered. And 1t is not essential
that for such ships there should be a
loading device separate from the coal
barges to enable a continuous stream
Of barges to ply to and from coal
dumping stations.
In Single Day.
For the average vessel a total of
300 tons Is usually sufficient, and this
means that ship Of this sort may
discharge a cargo and take on a new
one all in the course of single day.
With the adoption of the modern
lighter it is an easy matter to load
coal while the cargo is being unload
ed and a new one taken on. One mod
ern high-speed lighter can coal three
such ships In an eight-hour day.
This development of modern light
ers is equalled by better facilities for
transferring coal from cars to barges.
Huge steel dumping machines now

and empty It's contents into the barge
