"Do you know I almost feared I wan los ing my mind, but I found I could un derstand everything tho doctor nnid nnd talk back to him. Isn't it .an aw ful thing when n girl Iobob her mind!"

Qqostlon of Heavier Armor or Heav ier Guns Is Not Sottlod. WnBhington-rrPlans for bigger bat tleships with heavier armor will bo presented to congress during tho forth coming session by Secretary of tho Navy Moyer when the question of tho building program is taken up for con sideration. Naval experts have practically agreed that the new type of. ship, of which congress will bo aBked to au thorize tho building of two, will bo largor and heavier than tho 27,000-ton flhips now under construction. The tonnage limit will bo increased to at least 28,000 and probably 29,000 when tho plans aro matured. Tho naval general board has not yet absolutely decided whether the in crease in weight shall be devoted to more guns or heavier armor, but the prevailing opinion seems to favor heavier armor. In case of tho latter tho now ships will have only 10 guns, but these will be 14-inch type, which has but recent ly been developed by the ordnance.de partment of tho navy. With "the heavier armor the ships will be able to como into closer battle range, thereby increasing their effectiveness. The building program will probably include torpedo destroyers, and one ad ditional ship, cither an ammunition, repair, supply or hospital ship. An important change in the building plans rb outlined in the tentative program will be enlargement of the destroyers to 1,000 tons. The largest now afloat in the United States navy are 750 tons. This means that tho larger grey hounds of tho navy, the scout destroy ers, will become an obsolete class. WILSON SENT TO TOMBS. Prosldent of United Wireless Refuses to Give Up Letter Press. Now York Colonel Christopher Wilson, president of the United Wire less Telegraph company, Iwas Bent to the Tombs by Judge Lacombe, of the United States District court, on a pre sentation of the Federal grand jury, for contempt of court in refusing to surrender to the .court a letter press book, which the board of directors had been subpoenaed to produce. Certain officers of the company are charged with fraudulently using tne mails in furtherance of an alleged scheme to defraud investors. Wilson's counsel applied to Judge Coxc, in the United States Circuit court, for a Writ of habeaB corpus. Judge Coxe granted the writ and fixed the bail at $100. Later Wilson was brought to the Federal building, where iis bail bond was signed nnd he was released. PEARY RETURNS TO DUTY. Polar Explorer Assigned, But Not to Work He Preferrod. Washington Captain R. E. Peary the Arctic explorer, returns to active duty in the Navy department on No vember 9, as engineer expert for the department of justice in cases before tho Court of Claims involvinc construc tion work for the naval bureau of yards and docks. This work was the exnlorer's choice among scvernl positions offered. Peary would have preferred, it is Baia, io have been assigned to duty nt the naval library to write of his travels in the frozen North. The explorer has been on leave of absence from the department about ten years, during which time he has been nncrntTPil in Arctic exnloration. Re cently ho was promoted to the rank of rnntnln bb tho result of the death of a senior officer. A bill is now pending n 1 in congress to make f eary a rear aa miral ns a mark of recognition for his polar exploits. TOLL IN HUMAN LIFE HEAVY. Railroads Killed 3,804, Injured 82,- 374 During 12 Months. Washington Killed, 3,804; injured, R5 R74. This is tho casualty record of the railroads in the United States during tho year onded Juno 80 last, according to the Interstate Commerce commis sion. It is an increaso of 1,013 in the nnmbor killed and 18.4H4 in tho num- bor injured over the previous year's figures. Thoro wore 5,861 collisions, killing 433 persons and injuring 7,705 and damaging railroad property $4,G29, 279. In tho year there were 5,910 fWiiilmnntH. 340 Dersons wero killed nnd 4.814 injured. Dnring tho last thrco months of tho year tho total in jurcd was 20,050. Portland Counterfeits Afloat.

Commission Controls Private Cars. Washington Asserting that any other construction would nullify tho law, the Intorstato Commerce commis sion reaffirmed its right to oxorciso jurisdiction over private carB when used for tho conveyance of amusement outfits, theatrical companies and tho like. UNION READY TO SEIZE HIM. Honduras Under Martial Law, United Statos to Act. Washington Martial law has been declared in Honduras as a direct result of the revolt of General Jose Valla dares, tho deposed commandant of Amnpala, against tho government, ac cording to cable advices to tho State department from Minister McCreery, at 'legucigalpa. The port of Amapala has been closed and the island is in a state of seigc. The United States gunboat Princeton is in the harbor at Amapala ready to take a hand in the revolution at the first sign of hostility towards foreign ers or their interests. President Da vila is preparing to send an armed force BgainBt Valladares, and in the event of tho government's failure to restore order on the island the United States probably will be asked to in terfere. It would not be surprising if Com mander Hayes, of tho Princeton, acting under instructions from the State de partment, should send an armed force ashore at any time to take Valladares into custody. However, department officials refuse to discuss the proba bility of this beyond asserting that American interests will be safeguard ed. NAVY TO TRIM EXPENSE. Taft and Meyer Plan Concentration at Large Yards on Coast. Washington Sweeping reforms in the Navy department looking toward an economy of several million dollars arc said to be included in a plan which Secretary Meyer is reported to be pre paring for presentation to President Taft on the secretary's return from the inspection trip upon which he is now engaged. The abolition of construction corps and the pay corps and later, perhaps, the abandonment of some of the navy yards on the Atlantic Coast, are pre dicted if the plan is carried out. The concentration of the work of the navy at a few of the largest navy yards those at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk and San Fran cisco with a view toward suspending operations at Portsmouth, N. H., and Charleston, S. C, is causing much speculation, though it is believed noth ing definite has been decided in the matter beyond the plan to merge some of them for the sake of economy. Cost of Feeding Canal Army. Washington Feeding the army of Panama canal builders is a matter of tremendous expense, and to keep tab on the money the government makes a record of wonderful detail that shows the cost per meal per man. It is shown by the annual report of tho Isth mian canal commission that there are in operation 19 hotels, 19 European laborers' messes and 20 common labor ers' kitchens. The total number of meals served at commifsion hotels was 2,176,451. The cost of supplies was 24.87 cents, and the expense 6.23 cents a meal, a total of a little over 31 cents. The meals served in the European laborers' messes made a total of 1, 092,487, which cost 36.84 cents each for Bupplies and expenses. The meals in the common laborers' kitchen total ed 781,746, and cost 27.09 cents each The average daily attendance during June in the line hotels was 1,915, in messes 3,178, and in kitchens 1,496. The average weight of the ration supplied each person daily in the labor ers' kitchens was found to be approxi mately 4.41 pounds, with a value of 22.26 cents. It is a coincidence that the net weight of tho ration furnished the xEuropean laborer is exactly equal to the gross weight of the United States army garrison, and the net weight of the ration furnished the negro laborer is exactly equal to the gross weight of the United States army field ration. Peso Maker to Be Freed. Managua, Nic. Provisional Presi dent Estrada ' has sent a telegrnphic message to Senor Arrellano, represen tative of tho provisional government at Washington, instructing him to re quest the release by the American gov ernment of H. N. Secreest, who was arrested a short time ago in Chicago in connection with printing of counter feit Nicnraguan five-peso notes. It is explained that Secreest acted under orders of the rovoluunoary lead er. Tho orders were issued prior to tho retirement of Madriz and wero Bubequently cancelled. Information of the cancellation probably was re ceived by Secreest too late to prevent his commg.into conflict with the au thorities. Rates Unjust, Is Charge. Washington Naming the Great Northnrn and 27 other railroads as de fendants, the Anaconda Copper Min ing company, employing 13,000 men, filed n complaint with tho Interstate Commerce commission alleging unjust, unreasonable and discriminative rates on its traffiic. It charges that roads imposed unjust commodity nnd class rates on the company b trallic from the Denver district und other territories to the Montana common points. Torpedo-Boat Destroyer Fast- Rockland, Me. A knot slower than tho rpcord of hor sister ship, the Dray ton, but faster than either of tho oil burning torpedo boat destroyers, tho Starrett obtained a top speed of 32.333 knots an hour in a standardization test. Tao Starrott's turbines generated about 15,000 horso power. Her aver age speed for tho five runs mado was 31.653 knots an hour. EXPRESSMEN'S STRIKE' gROWS Ovor 6,000 Drivers In New York City Fight Strikebreakers. New York, Oct.'31. Tho Metropoli tan district is still in the grip of the express strike. Nine companies are now affected; moro than 5,000 men are out and rioting continues. A spe cial order was issued at police head quarters tonight, holding practically the entire New York police force Jof more than 9,000 men in reserve for nn emergency. In Jersey City alone tho police are still trying to cope with tho situation, unaided except by private detectives, but tonight Governor Fort instructed the Third regiment N. G. N. J., to prepare for active duty at a moment's notice. Tomorrow determined efforts will be made by the companies to distribute the vast amount of express matter that has accumulated and upon the result of the day will depend whether tho mili tia is called out. The nine companies, whose drivers and helpers are demanding increased pay and shorter hours are : The Amer ican, United States, Wells-Fargo, Ad ams, National, Westcott and Long Is land Express companies; the Boston Dispatch express and the Manhattan Delivery company. There were no fatalities during the day'B rfoting, but more than 50 strike breakers, strikers and policemen were hurt, several seriously, in street clash es in New York and Jersey City. Wagons manned by strikebreakers were stormed, notwithstanding that a detective with a rifle sat beside each driver. Shots were repeatedly fired over the heads of tho besieging strikers, but no sooner was one crowd dispersed than an other collected. Packages were scat tered over the streets and in some cases destroyed. An appalling lot of perishable goods is collecting, and unless companies are soon better able to meet the situation they will lose thousands of dollars. In front of J. Pierpont Morgan's homo in Madison avenue the strikers made a demonstration late today and the police were forced to charge the mob and fire volleys in the air with their revolvers. The fight centered on two American Express company wagons, manned by strikebreakers. There were many broken heads. Another serious clash started at Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, waged down the avenue to Forty-sec ond Btreet, swept across Broadway, thence south to the Hotel Albany, where the .'strikers and sympathizers made a final stand. An American Express company wa gon, said to have collected $50,000 in specie, was the object of attack. Po lice finally drove off the besiegers. Primarily. the organization of "helpers" Btruck for a wage increase of $5 a month. But a second demand, unprecedentled in labor annals, is that there shall be no discrimination against non-union men. 10,000 ACRES AND $1,000,000. Mrs. E. H. Harriman Donates Vast Tract to New York. Newburgh, N. Y. In accordance with the plan outlined by her husband, the late E. H. Harriman, Mrs. Mary W. Harriman has presented to the state of New York 10,000 acres of land, a part of the Arden estate, to be incorporated, in the Interstate Pali sades park. At the Bame time a gift of $1,000, 000 was made by Mrs. Harriman for the development of the park and the preserve was further increased by the transfer to the park commission of 700 acres which had been intended for the new state prison on Bear mountain, but which by act of the last legislature was ceded to the park. The gift was made to George W. Perkins, president of the Palisades Park commissioon, by Averill W. Har riman, son of the late .financier. As he handed the deeds and $1,000,000 check to Mr. Perkins, young Harriman said it was his mother's hope and his that " through all tho years to come, the health and happiness of future generations will be advanced by these gifts." Mexican Kidnaps Girl. Linoln, Neb. Grace Rolph, 17 years old, daughter of a well known Pender, Neb., family, who have been spending the summer on a ranch near Checoy, Mex., was kidnapped Thurs day by a Mexican peon named Segunda, according to advices received here. A son of Mr. Harris, who is manager of the ranch, has offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of Segunda. The United States ambassador at Mexico City has been advised and an effort will bo made to interest the State de partment officials at Washingotn. Chinese Pay Discount. Pekin An official edict was issued horo authorizing the proposed loan of $50,000,000 from tho American group of financiers. The bond issue to cover tho loan will be tnken by the syndicate at 95. Tho bonds will mature at a period of from 40 to 45 years from issuance. They will bear 5 per cent interest. Of tho loans, $5,000,000, and possibly $10,000,000, will be de voted to industrial improvements in Manchuria. Barrel Hides Assassin. Victoria, B. C. Mile. Kuknotzo, who nBsassinated the commander of tho Russian garrison at Harbin, Manchu ria, mado a sensational escape from prison at Harbin on October 11. Sho was smuggled out of tho jail, concealed in n barrel, by confederates. brtWIPW SPEED PRIZE Racing Aeroplane Averages ver 61 Miles Per Hour. Frenchman In Monoplane Was Mak ing Better Time. But Met With Bad Smashup. New York Claude Grabame-White, flying for the Royal Aero club of tho United Kingdom, lifted tho Gordon Bennettt international speed trophy from the custody of America in tho fastest time ever covered In the full distance of 100 kilometers, (62.14 miles) around a five-kilometer course. HiB average speed was a fraction better than 61 miles'an hour, and his fastest lap was 2 minutes 55.77 sec onds, but the captain of the French team, Alfred LeBlanc, flying in a similar machine, a 100-horse power Bleriot monoplane, Jwas making each WALTER BROOKINS One of the leading drivers in the recent aviation . meet at New York. lap on an average of 20 seconds faster ' than Grahame-White, and would have won the cup if he had not met with a disastrous accident in his last lap when he had the race seemmeingly well in hand. LeBlanc's first lap'was a new world's record in itself for five kilometers, 2 minutes and 45.63 seconds, but he sub sequently exceeded it with a lap done in 2 minutes 44.32 seconds. LeBlance was running with the wind under full power at an estimated speed of 80 miles an hour, when the feed pipe from his gasoline tank to his motor loosened and he suddenly found himself with nothing but momentum, to carry him. It is a "peculiarity of racing aero planes that they are trimmed down so fine they cannot execute a proper vol plane, or glide, if the gasoline shuts off. They must come to earth under power, and even then they bump severely on landing. LeBlance was helpless and panic-stricken. He tried to lift his. planes so that the last few drops of gasoline might filter down into the en gine and lend him strength to make a landing. His steerage way was gone, and when a puff of wind caught him he drifted sideways, still driving at tre mendous speed, and crashed head fore most into a telegraph pole. The pole was 14 inches thick, but he broke it in three pieceB. The first fragment was, sliced clean off It feet up and snapped again at the bottom of the stump. ' The third and topmost fragment fell over backwards and smashed down on the fragile planes. The chassis and steel shield which : encloses the motor were completely crumpled, but the solid steel of the motor itself withstood the shock. Had LeBlanc hit the pole in another man- " ner, it is difficult to see how he could have escaped death. f I Charles K. Hamilton, of the AmeriiU can team, was enthusiastic. "LeBlanc is the beBt track driver in the world," he said. "The way he took thoso turns was a marvel. Grahame-White would never have been in it except for LeBlanc's accident, and' no American machine had a chance 1 with him. I am going to throw my -machine into the scrap heap and buy a Bleriot before I leave this track. Tho. biplane is out of date and we might as; well admit it." Explosion Injures Seventeen. San Francisco Seventeen persons . , wero severely hurt in an explosion, u from a fire in an apartment house' iri Ellis street. Four of the number ' were newspaper men and the others were members of the fire department," Most of the lodgers had left tho build- ing before the explosion occurred, and those who re'mained on the upper floors , escaped on fire ladders. Captain Joseph Cappelll and Hoseman Thomas Bell of the fire department were over come by gas and were rescued by their' comrades. " " Paralysis Kills Student. Princeton, N. J. Marcus Crawford, of Franklin, Pennsylvania, member of the freshman class of tho university, died in tho universary infirmary of in-, fantile paralysis. Crawford went' "to tho infirmary four dayB ago, complain-1' ing of pains in the head. In n fihort' time his limbs were paralyzed and despite heroic efforts to savo him, he succumbed to the disease. This is tho second death from the samo disease in the freshman clasa.
