LEVIATHAN TO CARRY
STRONGEST SHIP RADIO

NEW YORK, March 26.-The
American liner Leviathan, soon to en-
ter the transatlantic passenger serv-
ice, will be equipped with the most
powerful and elaborate adioRppara-
tus afloat.
Under a. contract awarded by the
Shipping Board, the steamships
passengers would be able, it was
stated, to exchange messages with
two continents regardless Of her po-
sition at sea. Uninterrupted com.
munication with points 5000 miles
distant would be assured.
The equipment would be six times
as powerful as that carried by the
average ocean greyhound, it was
said. Radio telephone installation
also is to be provided.

We have to thank His EXcpIlency the
Governor for the very able support he
gave US in our problems. From all sides
we were co~mpIimented upon the master

we presented oar case. St. Thomas had
such a v]oluminous report that they could
not get a hearing on all the matters pre-
sented.
The Governor asked that speeches he
made short, and desired to limit each
speaker to two minutes. Under those
circumstances we were forced 10 limit
our speeches to subjects introduced. J

PHIEApELPHLA, Pa, Nov. 90. !

tes' district court here today.
The plaintiff in the suit Is Archi-
bald Mcneil and Sons Co.. New

Their action grows out of the re
qAisitioliing by the government of
practically the entire available sup
ply of bituminous coal during the
strike of 1890.
Mcneil and Sons Company is su,
ing for $348,307, contending the
government should pay the price its
foreign customers would have paid
for Fhe coal. Attorneys for the gov
eminent said that the case would
undoubtedly go to the United Sta

final decision was against the gov
ernment' it would be obliged to pay
bitunIinous coal operators approxim-
ately $30,00d,000.
