LONDON, May 21. (Special.) A significant pronouncement is made by the chairman of the Cunard Company. It Is that in his Judgment the future of the New York trade lies with the 40,000 or 50.000 ton combined passenger and cargo boat. In saying this, Mr. Booth finds himself in complete ac cord with Lord Pirrie, whose com plaint for a long time past has been that it is not a question whether ship builders will build very big ships, but whether the ports of the world will be capable of accommodating the levia thans put afloat In the near future. The Cunard Company, with the Lusl tania and the Mauretania. each in the near neighborhood of 35.000 tons, has, of course, by this time had a pretty good experience of the biggest mail steamers as yet in service. The Infer ence is that as these large vessels have proved so successful still larger steam ers are likely In their view to prove more so.' The only question left open is the question of speed. Mr. Booth does not say In so many words that the large steamer which Is to be built to take her place with the Lusitania and the Mauretania in the mail service will be of 40,000 or 60. 000 tons. The assumption, however, must be that somewhere between those figures her gross register ' will be found. In the near future, then, shall be seen four monster ships, eclipsing in size the present Cunard leviathans. Two of them are well on the way. These are the Olympic and the Titanic, each of which Is to be of about 45.000 tons. They are for the White Star Line, and are to run from Southampton to New York if the Southampton Harbor Board cas be induced to deepen suf ficiently the channel which they con trol. The launching of the Olympia at Messrs. Harland & Wolffs yards was some time back definitely fixed for October next, and the Titanic should not lag very far behind her. A third vessel of the 40,000-ton order Is that which the Hamburg-American Line is to build in Germany. Neither the White Star boats nor the German mammoth are to have very high speed. Probably 20 knots will be field to suffice. The Olympic and Titanic will rely on a combination of the reciprocating engine and turbine, such as is already exemplified in the Laurentic. BABIES DOPE FIENDS WOMAN SCORES FASHIONABLE KENSINGTON GARDENS. Writer's Declaration Startles All England In Charge or Drug-Habit Formation. LONDON, May 21. (Special) 'Tf once you know the traces of opium you may take a walk In Kensington Gardens and see the writing upon a hundred little white faces." This dec laration by Mrs. Enid Campbell Dun can ha .startled England. for ' Ken sington Gardens form the airing ground for the infants of the fash ionable families of the West End. There J. B. Barrie had his inspiration for "Peter Pan." Mrs. Duncan denies that the much condemned poor are the worst guar dians of infant life. The drug habit is a dire menace to the health of the well-to-do. "In the first few months of life nowadays," she says, "the child of rich parents gets through quite as large an amount of potent drugs as the poor child gets gin and brandy. Both are for the same purpose to pre vent the child crying at night. The lazy nurse. Instead of correcting the real cause of fretfulness there al ways is a real cause proceeds to rub opium under its finger nails to be sucked by the Infant. "The child sleeps, but that treatment for the first six months must result In making a nervous, listless, wild-eyed and neiirotio vii-tim rnr . w, - , r Its life. Beware of the baby that never cries and always sleeps." DIRTY GUIDES STUDENTS CLASSIC RESEARCH SPECIALTY BIT NAILS ARE DIRTY. Many Literary Loafers Around Brit ish Museum Once Were Pol ished Gentlemen. LONDON. May 21. (Special.) Dirt and distinction are sometimes found In dis mal alliance In certaih literary by-ways. Jlanping about the precincts of the Brit ish Museum are University graduates, with unkempt hair and long, black finger nails, who hire themselves out to scholars at half-a-dollar the hour. Their specialty Is clapsical research. They are men of considerable learning and ability. Some of them won academic distinction at Ox ford and Cambridge. A burst of prosperity occasionally raises one Into the status of a gentleman again. He drifts from the old haunts for a time, and relapres after a longer or shorter interval into, the ranks of the vagabonds of culture. Wasted lives are a common feature of the literary life. Often it happens that a faculty for writing verse Is a gift of du bious value. William A. Ellis, for In stance, late of tha British Navy, used to make $160 a month out of wrltling tuneful numbers'. The German Emperor presented him with an autographed photograph of himself and an illuminated address. In recognition of a poem relating to the rescue of the crew of the German war ship Gnelp?nau by the sailor-poet's own ship, the Gladiator. Ellis entered the Chinese Customs ser vice on leaving the Navy, and later ran a saloon at Shanghai. Iast year, he re turned to Britain with J3200 In his pocket. This year he has been among the band at homeless derelicts who nightly haunt the Thames Enbankment, the poorest of the poor. Prosperity as a poet meant his ruin as a man. LITERARY SHRINE GOING UP Banyan Memorial Hall to Be Erect ed Near Bedford, England. LONDON. May 21. (Special.) There is to be another handsome literary shrine for American tourists in England. A Bunan Memorial Hall Is to be erected at Elptow, near Bedford, where John Bunyan s bom and roost of his life was -passed. The site is near the historic green wRere the Immortal tinker used ttf preach. About J7000 .will be spent on the building.

Hubbard and Whitman, Rhodes and Hennessy, whose first names were unknown to the grand jury, was araigned before Presiding Judge Morrow in the Circuit Court yes terday. His attorney, Bert Haney, was not present, but he said he desired to enter a plea of not guilty, that his case might be set as soon as possible. Judge Morrow at first set the case for trial Thursday, but remembering that is the day for the horse and carriage parade, decided on June 13 instead, as he said the Judges probably will wish to see the parade. Gordon Dickey, alleged leader of the Hindu rioters at St. Johns, is to be tried tomorrow. Injured Lineman Asks $15,000. John W. Taylor, a lineman who was Injured by the splitting of a telephone pole at Thirteenth and Clay streets, April 8. 1909, Is suing the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company before a Jury In Judge Burnett's department of the Circuit Court for $15,100. The case went to trial yesterday. Taylor says he was Injured internally, and that the company is to -blame for allowing a rotten pole to stand. The company, on the Other hand, says he should have examined the pole, and that his climbing spurs were not properly imbedded in the wood. Toppenlsh Nursery Loses Suit. Circuit Judge Cleland decided for the defendant yesterday in the suit of the Washington Nursery Company of Top penlsh, Wash., against H. R. Albee, for $19, alleged to be owing for fruit trees. A corporation known as Albee & Bonham purchased the trees. Mr. Albee said yesterday he had sold his corpora tion stock at the time the trees were purchased, but that a foreman named Caston signed his name to th. order per his own. Hence the suit.

CATTLE, SALE CAUSES RIOT Many Injured AVhen Police and Mob Fight on Bridge. DUBLIN, June 4. (Special.) Thurles, Tipperary, was the scene the other day of a tierce encounter between the po lice and a crowd of demonstrators; many of whom were injured. The cause cause of the trouble was the seizure, on -the neighboring lands of Ballina how, of the cattle of a man named Ryan, at- the instance of the land owner. Mrs. Molloy, who owns a large business premises in the town. The beasts were taken to the pound at Templemore, where the Sheriff duly held a sale. Amid the cheers of his sympathizers, Ryan bought back his cattle, and subsequently the crowd, headed by the Claren band, marched in procession to Thurles. When they reached the bridge which crosses the Suir they were met by a cordon of police, who refused to allow them to enter the town. This the demonstrators strongly resented, and a man named Pudcell charged the po lice with his car. His horse bolted and promptly collided with a lamp post, with the result that Purcell was thrown out and so badly ' Injured that he had to be removed to a hospital. The police then charged the crowd with drawn batons. Many were hurt, and the drums of the band were broken up and thrown into the river. A night or two afterwards the windows of Mrs. Molloy's premises were smashed. PENNY A WEEK IS AWARD London Court Thinks That Enough for Girl Who Loses Eye. LONDON, June 4. (Special.) An ex traordinary award, which has aroused considerable public interest and sym pathy, was made by Judge Gray at the Wandsworth County Court on Friday last. A servant girl, who lost an eye in domestic service, was awarded one penny a week compensation. The girl. Rose Pierce, applied to the judge for an award under the workmen's com pensation act. She was employed by Mrs. J. Adams, trading as J. Baxter, draper of Battersea. She told the judge that when she was in Mrs. Adams' service on October 4 last, her mistress got her to help to extract a stopper from a smelling-bottle. Mrs. Adams put the bottle into water, which was held over the gas stove. The bottle exploded, and a piece of glass flew in to the girl's eye. She was taken to the Bollngbroke Hospital, and later to Moorfields, where the eye was operated upon. The girl told the judge that the loss of the sight of one eye made her clumsy. Mrs. Adams contended that the girl's incapacity ceased on February 17, but she was still paying her $1.87 a week. Dr. E. Taylor said her sight was just as effective now with one eye as it was previously with' two. The judge made an award of one penny a week, but as a great deal of public sympathy has been aroused on behalf of the un fortunate girl, the decision will prob ably be contested.

Because of the absence of expert advice at critical times, fruit growers have suffered heavy losses. It Is planned to ask the Legislature to provide the funds to pay the salaries of several entomologists.' who would work under the direction of the college and whose services would be available at all times, to study fruit conditions and aid in suppressing and eradicating pests in any part of the state. Pending action by the Legislature, the committee appointed today by the Salem Board of Trade will solicit funds from fruit men to employ at least one expert In fruit culture.
