Tanning the Air.
(New York World Telegram

The phenomenal new Union Pacific train is the Benny Leonard of the railroads The old loco motive built like a factory on wheels had no science in it's sparring with the wind. It took it on the chin and by brute force sought to conquer This new train does not shove the wind It lsubtly eludes it by giving it the run around and therefore it makes 120 miles maximum an hour on la fraction of the fuel.
 The train may not seem so thrilling to a youngster born, to speak, in speed tunnel. But it is to those, many still alive whose first recollection railroad train is of lurching wood en coaches with stoves in the corner, drawn by a locomotive just step ahead of the old funnel top that at the time semi-superannuated and
 pushing cars around in the yards at terminal i That was, say, in 1900.
 Only few years later however, in 1906 w. A. Hartman sped from the San Francisco earthquake here in II hours and 27 minutes the record until yesterdays stream-liner capable of 12O loafed in with coast-to-oast record of 56 hours and 55 minutes
 By "loafed in mean to say that the new record is just starter, provided the railroads of America, after catching up with the Union Pacific and the Burlington in passenger trains, do not engage in another Rip Van Wrinkles sleep such as occurred between Harrimans wild ride of 1906 till the younger Harrimans swift journey ending yesterday.

The Naval Conversations.
(New York Times.)

The prospects for a successful naval conference in 1885 not enhanced by the gradual revealing of what Japan has in mind Her proposals, as put forth in the conversations at London, cannot be acceptable to either Great Britain the United States They call for absolute equality of tonnage, the abolition of existing ratios and definitions of offensive" and defensive" vessels Japan's pro- posals, if accepted would give her absolute mastery the of the Far East That the British have found these proposals "disagreeable" is easily understandable. To the Americans they will be at least equally unpalatable
 Japan defines as offensive" ships vessels be- ginning with guns of 61-inch calibre and calls for drastic reduction of vessels of this and greater

attendants and his secretary, a suave British officer type, is not to be trifled with. The consequence is that the mystery man of Eu- rope" each day becomes more mysterious.
 And yet those who know him say there is really very little mys- terious about the man himself certainly in his calm old age.
 Has Electric Wheel Chair
 Each morning the man who may have half of Europe's secrets locked up in his head, rises early and makes short trip through his chateau grounds. For this he uses a specially built electric wheel chair of his own design and with 1t he passes down the many paths that lead through his beloved gar- dens.
 He insists that the paths be smooth as billiard table and that there be no pebbles to jar him ever so little. After one violent storm, his gardeners and workers from the surrounding farms, in all 80 men, worked frantically to smooth the paths again so that Sir Basil might make his usual tour at his usual hour.
 The low, rakish aerodynamic cars of today make little appeal to him, though their modern, powerful mo- tors do. His car has high, old fashioned body with plenty of head room, so that coming down the road it looks like a Marne taxi cab on its way to the front.
 Interested in His Sheep
 Aside from his flowers. Sir Basil takes lively interest in his flocks of sheep and keeps track of every little detail of their care. When the flocks are in good condition he has habit of saying:
 Shepherd. you have fine ami mals. I am pleased with you"
 He does his banking in the little nearby town of Meru, and his ar rival in front of the little country bank that is proud of being banker for the richest man in Europe"

"OLD IRONSIDES"

Washington Loses Fight for Ship
as a Permanent Naval
Relic.

Washington has lost out in obtain
ing Old Ironsides as a permanent
naval relic. The Navy Department
announced yesterday that about May

Calf, will reach the Boston Navy
Yard, where she will be placed lin
service-not commissioned" and re-
tanned as a naval relic there.
Until recently the Navy Department
was considering bringing her here or
to Annapolis, Md. for permanent ex-
hibition. Inasmuch as Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, the poet, wrote a classic
appealing for the preservation of Old
1ronsides, it is argued that Boston
has claim on the old vessel, for she
was restored there.
The frigate left San Diego yester-
day and is due in the Canal Zone on
April 2. On April 13 she is to be at
st, Petersburg, Fla, leaving April 20
for Charleston, S. c., where she will
arrive four days later. Three days
afterward the ship will leave for Bos-
ton, in tow Of the minesweeper Grebe

ATLANTA, March 22-An Alabama
lumber concern, charged with firing
-7orkers because they sought compli-
ance with the N. r. A code, Tuesday
vas ordered to meet requirements i'm
mediately by the Regional Labor
Board.
In deciding a case against the w.
"A. Belcher Lumber Co. of Green Pond,
Ala, the Labor Board said Belcher's
attitude indicated he would not COM
ply and in such event would recon-
mend it be again referred to the dis
trict attorney, who previously had
called on him.
The board also ordered that the
Unit Stove g. Furnace Co. of Birming-
ham, Ala, re-employ discharged Off
GERS Of the Stove Mounters' Interna-
tional Union and members of union
committee which the company had
fired. The union had charged that
the company constantly Disseminated
against union men and that it had
discharged officers of the local and
committee members because of union
activities.
1T is evident" the board said, that
at the start this presented an aggra-
vated case of a deliberate and inten-
tional effort to refuse conformity with
the code. Only the pressure from the
district attorneys Office forced a COM
pliance. Before that time, however,
these men had been discharged for
seeking the benefits provided for en-
ployes under the CODE"
