Eagle, No. 56, training ship of the United States naval reserve, District of Columbia battalion, which is aboard, dropped anchor here this aft- ernoon. Capt. H. J.

The vessel is running as smoothly as though she had been n for months-with an experienced crew. However, most of the members of the crew saw service during the war, though they are out of service for more than eleven months in the vear Plan Target Practice. Plans are being made for target practice, but this will not be held un- leaves Philadel- | have been organ- 2d Diyisions, com- manded by Ensigns Logan, and by the time the vessel goes on the range the men will be well trained at their stations.

C. C. TRAIN CONTROL RULING DUE SHORTLY Decision Will Cover Installation |§ of Automatic Devices on Forty- Two Railroads. ORDERED APPARATUS USED Commission Required Application by February, 1926. Early decision in the matter of in- stalling automatic train control de vices on part of the lines of forty- two major railroads in the United States is looked for from the Inter- state Commerce Commission, which now has before it for final sifting and decision oral arguments of attorneys for the roads, protesting installation, given more than a month ago. The commission has declared its intention to expedite settlement of the train- control matter, so that the major railroad systems will have installed as soon as possible a train-control system meeting the commission's re- quirements. Major arguments of the smaller roads and some of the larger roads when the commission held its most recent hearing on the train-control order—one of several hearings—were that installation of train-control de- vices would involve expenditure of so much money they would be weakened financially. See Waste of Money. Several railroads made the point that automatic train control devices were not yet perfected to the point where they funétion at all times, and lacking perfect functioning, or anything short of 100 per cent per- fection, the money would be far better spent in the elimination of grade crossings and other danger elements connected with railroading. Ninety-two railroads, including the transcontinental lines apd the lines running out of Washington on cer- tain_divisions _were named in_the chief engineer, has | ; The Franklin Sq.
