Instead Of being able TO steam her
normal fifteen knots speed she was
compelled to slow down to four knots
on her way in to the naval operating
base at Hampton Roads. The vessel
was fully 1.5oo yards from the bombs
when they exploded.
This was the unofficial report that
reached Washington to-day from what
appeared to be authoritative sources.
The Navy Department. however. said
no report of the incident had been re-
ceived. although it was admitted the
utmost secrecy was being observed
concerning the technical outcome of
the tests.
The Shawmut went to the scene Of
the bombing to aid II necessary the air
craft engaged in the practice. She re-
mained at what the officers assumed
was a safe distance from the target.
The bombs used were OF the lght-wall
type. Weighing 1s3 pounds each. Two
salvos were dropped. one OF three
bombs and the other OF nine. The jar
when the detonations occurred was felt
distinctly aboard vessels as far az 5000
yards distant and at the time caused
considerable comment.
The incident Is regarded as of lmpor-
lance in the much discussed question Of
whether aircraft really are effective
against warships. The damaging OF en-
gines at so great distance with light
bombs added TO the arguments of the
aircraft enthusiasts that direct hits
would not have TO be registered with
heavy bombs If warships wero to be put
out OF commission. II had bearing

1t looked as If there wouldn't be
any one left in town to go to the fight
after a survey yesterday of the crowds
of outgoing pleasure seekers who
streamed through the big railroad
terminals. Experts estimated that 10
per cent. more city persons have found
friends in the country to visit or have
succeeded in getting hotel reservations
at the nearby resorts, than last year.
Altogether yesterday was a record
breaker, so far as the Fourth OF July
exodus is concerned. and to-day prom
ises to go little higher.
With 10000 passengers leaving
town by the New York Central alone,
and with $4,000 prepared to follow
them to-day, 1t is safe to say that,
estimating that a figure near this left
on the Pennsylvania and then adding
a propoftionate number for the other
railroads whose passengers go by

York residents will be sleeping by the

The passage Of this legislation COM
pletes the action necessary to make
effective the settlement OF the coal
strike reached early this week. The
acquiescence OF the House in the plan
had been taken for granted. and the
passage of the subsidy measure to-day
was without discussion.
The mine owners agreement with the
miners provides that until September.

be 20 per cent. above 1914 wages. The
standard profit is fixed at II per cent

The surplus profit is to be divided II

terms of the agreement TO the House OF
