(By PA I L LAMBHTH.) (Special Cable to The Times.) London, Sept. G.- At 4:u0 o'eloek tomorrow afternoon begins the great est ocean race the world has ever Been. Three bonis later every craft In Liverpool, will scream its whistles as the Lusitania, tho biggest ship in the world, gleams out on her maiden voyage to the United States. The first ship to leave will be the Lu canla, which has made the fastest trip ever recorded between Queens town and lsew York. The distance of about 2. SOI) miles was covered in five days, 7 hours and 23 minutes, Captain Horatio McKay on the bridge. The Lusitunia is expected to break this record and startle the world with her speed. The ship is surely a giant. She carries more harnessed power than anything afloat. On her trial trip she has steamed 26 knots an hour about thirty miles. This is tremendous speed considering the vessel must displace 38,000 tons of water as she goes along. There Is no doubt here that the new Cunarder will establish a new record. Experts are deeply of the opinion that sue will steam past the Kaiser Wllmelm II, the North Ger man Lloyd Company's Bhip, which held the record in both speed and size until the Lusitania was built. I had a trip through this ship to day. What I saw was too remark ablo to adequately describe. It scorned at times as If I was in some mammoth hotel Instead of a bout which is expected to carry its popu lation of 3,150 across the-Atlantic In little more than five days. The Lusitania is 7S5 feet long and 80 feet wide. She stands out of the water like a municipal building, and, viewed from the dock, a man is a very small speck when he walks the deck. It Is the fittings of the boat that Interested me most. - The rooms are like thoso In first-class hotels. There aro suites of them apart ments just as you would find in one of your fine Riverside Drive apart ment houses In New York. These suites aro composed of bed-rooms, with brass beds, high ceilings, cost ly fittings, wall paper, floors carpet ed everything in grand style. There is a dining-room, one or more bath rooms to each suite, dressing tables, dclicato curtain hangings and all thoso things that go to make a finely appointed home on shore. livery electrical device of known convenience Is arranged 1 the suites as well as the single rtate rooms. Even the sheets will be warmed In winter tlmo by electricity. Passenger elevators travel up and down like those In an office building. Thore aro Turkish bath, . vapor baths, barber shops, gymnasium, nursery everything. And all this achievement will go plowing through SUCCESS OF AMERICAN PROPOSAL IS ASSURED (Special Cable to The Times.) The i Hague, Sept. 6. The success of the American proposal for an Inter- national nign court or justice at tne Hague Is assured If the delegates can Arrive at some understanding regard ing the appolntmont of judges. "1 believe the conference will decide on some Batlsfactory plan of approach ing judges before adjournment," said prominent delegaW today. "And . . when this Is done the success of the measure is assured. It will speedily the Atlantic at a rate of speed never before known, and not even dreamed possible a few years ago. Afloat the Lusitania will show lights from 1,200 windows, 5.0J0 elctric lights will glow when dark ness arrives. The vessel Is equipped, with wireless telegraphy Instru ments and a daily paper is publisher!, containing the news from shore, re ceived fresh through the air. The contest, which really begins when the Lucania has taken on pas sengers at Queenstown and the Lus itania catches her out from the same port, Is Intel "sting In tho extreme to mariners tha world ovsr. The Lusitania has been booked lo ''her caiacity and I r.m Informed that many wealth'.' nr-d prominent Amer icans will watch the contest fA:u the deck of either sh'p. Some idea of what such a test will be may be conjectured by earnest reflection or the dimensions of the new giant of the sca3, Tha Lusitania is of ;!2, 500 gross tonnage. Her in dicated horse-power Is GS 000. She is propelled by four propellers and lour funnels are required to carry off the smoke of over 2. 000 tons of coal a day. She is the lirst of the Cunard Line's turbine boats. WOODARD TALKS ABOUT THE RATE HEARING (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Sept. C Attorney Woodard, accompanied by the 'other members of the Southern rate Investi gating committee from Raleigh, rep resenting the state of North Carolina were at the Uiggs House last night. Mr. Woodard said: "We have not completed the tak ing of the railroad testimony yet, but will bo engaged In that end of the investigation until the middle of next week, when I hope we will be able to go back to North Carolina and take the state's testimony. We have gone ahead from day to day getting what evidence we could, and although at no given time did we obtain any startling testimony we have accomp lished our mission, and have, I think, gotten the railroad's side in good shape. When we have finished with Mr. Plant the hearing here will be completed. Of course, no decision will be reached until we have heard both sides of tho question and sub mitted our report, which will prob ably not be for a month or more yet. After tho report is sumbltted cither side may apieal and It will bo tried by the circuit court in North Carolina.- ",'. "The attention of the state has been so much taken up recently by this hearing that they have had little timo to talk politics, but I think the democrats will be for Bryan and tho republicans for Roosevelt." THE NEW STEAMSHIP LINE TO CHAULESTOX. (Special to The Evening Times.) Washington, Sept. 6. The fact that a permanent steamship lino Is to be established this coming winter between Charleston, S. C, and Tri este, Austraia, is conveyed in a letter to tho bureau of manufactures from Absocon in the former place. Im porters at Trieste or varied lines of merchandise are registered at this bureau. Tux Clubs Out of Kxlstencc. (By Leased Wire to Tho Times.) Dublin, Ga., Sept. 6. The city coun- ! t il of Dublin has passed an ordinance 1 fixing tho tax on "locker"-, clubs at $5,000. The prohibition law, the local ;authorltles say, will be rigidly en forced In this county and this $5,000 tax precludes tho possibility of an evasion of the law by clubs, as tho amount is prohibitory. pass. A committee has been appointed to consider this matter and to report on September 10. t am confident that some solution will be found by the committee. : When referred to the examining committee yesterday tho proposal with the exception of tho matter of ap pointment of Judges was accepted. Mr. fohoate in dbmandlng the ' provision for the court of arbitral Justice, said: 'It would be Ignomlnous In tho last degree for us to confess our Inability to discharge this duty." , L IS IN TROUBLE Efforts Renewed lo Declare Bonds Illegal THE MATTER IN COURT Eastern Training School lEocently Located ut (ii-conville May Xovor Materialize, According to the He ductloiiH of This Correspondent -Comes I'p in Court Sept. 1(1 The Town Alleged Xot Dolus Its Pail. Other (ireenville Items. (Special to The Evening Times.) Greenville, X. ('., Sept. 0. Com ment is heard about the bond issuo. suit, just now, relative to the East ern Training School. The antis have started a suit to cclare the bonds no good, and the complaint has boon filed. It Is expected to get to a hear ing next court, "which convenes on the 10th. The antis allege that the whole bill is illegal. At present it is be ing fought on strictly legal or con stitutional grounds, alleging failure to comply with the constitutional provision providing that all"1 such acts shall be preceded with thirty days notice advertising, that the bill must 'be read and passed itis several readings on different days, that tho yeas and nays must be called and recorded which requirements have been ignored, it is claimed. Another peculiar feature is the report that the town has not had an offer for Its bonds, and if the suit had not been instituted that the county bonds would have been sold and spent on the school, whether the town had ever chipped in or not. Some think that an additional rea son why the bonds should be held up. The school should not be had at the expense of tho county without the town doing its full part. It is thought that another legislature will have the pleasure of providing for an eastern training school. As the railroad work is about done, railroad folks are leaving for other fields. Through trains from Washington to Raleigh are expected to be put on at an early day. It will be a great thing for our people when they can leave home In the morning, spend a few hours in Ral eigh, and return hlme the same day. The Norfolk & Southern will do great things for this section. Our people are proud of it. A considerable storm passed over the northwestern section of the county Tuesday night, doing some damage. It is reported that In some places corn was blown down and some practically shocked by the force of the storm. One house was blown down, and tho inmates hurt slightly. Trees and fences suffered. Tobacco breaks are heavy and prices are good. A large crop will be. or has been, made in Pitt this year. Crops are generally good, and with good prices the farmers will unusually prosper. It is generally conceded that Pitt is second to none as an agricultural county. Enter prises are needed to afford a market for its products. But they are com ing. NEW REASON FOR R. R.

Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, who has been in this city tho last two day?, said in speaking of the retrenchment policy on the part of the railroads that it was due primarily to their inability to sell new securities be cause of the greatly depressed con dition of tne financial markets).

G A milk famine menaces this city and unless condi tions change soon many families not only will have difficulty in obtaining milk, but the price will be advanced again so that It will bo beyond the means of a largo number to buy It. There are many reasons advanced among the dealers as to tho cause for the shortage.
