IN. WORLD ENDING
HER MAIDEN VOYAGE

New York, May 16.-The Majestic,
worlds largest ship; was rolling down
from Nantucket to Sandy Hook today
on the last lap of her maiden voy-
age across the Atlantic. Shortly aft
er daypreak all arrangements had
been made to give the new empress
OF the seas a triumphal entry to the
harbor. The Majestic. which is of
$4,000 tons displacement, has q rec
ord Of Is knots an hour and her en-
gines are still stlff. When they linn
ber up her officers and officials of
the line believe she will make at least
four more knots and during her sum-
mer runs eclipse the transatlantic
record now held by the Mauretania.
Probably the first week in Au-
gust, when the Mauretania is coming
this way and the Majestic is Europe
bound. the two giants will race. BY
that time, officers of the Majestic say,
her great oil burner and her eight
mammoth: turbines, each weighing
375 tons. will drive the Majestic at
top speed. somewhere in the vicinity
of % knots an hour.
The Majestic even as German
ship before the war, never. made q
passenger voyage She was built in
Germany as the Bismarck, lad up in
Hamburg during the war and then
sold to England by the reparations
commission. She was then convert
ed to an oil burner and made more
luxurious. named the Majestic.

Alf1I-FUTURES ACT
!; /; in: MINNESOTA IS
EFFECTIVE. JUNE ]

/. ST. Paul, May 1e.-The Minnesota
anti futures grain act will go into ef-
feet at Minnesota grain markets on
June 1. The appeal made by the Du-
luth board OF trade and the Mime
'apolis Chamber !of Commerce has
been dismissed and the railroad and
warehouse commission anticipates no
opposition by the grain men to the
rules and regulations.
The Minnesota law attempts to
prevent grain gambling without inter-
ferinR with legitimate hedging oper-
ations, a line Of distinction which no
other regulations has contemplated.
The Minnesota law requires re-
ports on each grain sale with name
Of buyer and seller and quantity OF
grain. Possession or potential posses
sion Of the. actual grain on which
hedging sales are permitted are re-
-quired and actual delivery grain
must be intended.

said Governor r. A. Nestos, North

anued. 1T was decidedly not that in
our state during the last i've years

hatred, engendered, brought, in its
wake social, economic and political
turmoil and the consequent temporary
