Mr. Stapleton in his interview with the governor said that Spencer was a victim of circumstances and probably would never have been transferred from the insane hospital except for the disclosures which were brought about by means of conditions existing there. ‘Mr. Stapleton stated to the reporters that he did not expect that the gov- ernor would refer the matter to the council formally, but he did éxpect that the matter would be dlscussed in- formally at its meeting. 'rhe council was in session but a short time, and, according to Council- lor Goetting, no mention whatsoever was made of the Bpencer case. The governor, when seen at-the end of the session, ‘stated that tmere was noth- ing new in regard to the case. He would not answer specifically whether he intended to take up the matter later. “After the close of the session Me. Stapleton was presented with a spe- cial delivery letter from a prominent business man of New Haven, who does not want his name disclosed. He was a classmate of Spencer in a prlvnte high school in New Haven. He writes that he has had occasion to notice mn of insanity on frequent occasions. He also gave the names of classmates of Spencer who are ready to disclose testimony to that effect.

Fortunately, there is no secret about the way in which ships can bée made proof against almost any accident to whleh they may be subjected through collision with icebergs or submerged rocks. It is only nécessary to follow the model on which the hulls of bat- tleships are at present constructed to insure a degree that will make resort to lifeboats a very rare and remote eonuncul The principle in Qu-uon consists merely in building & double hull throughout the ship, reaching above the water line, the two shells being con- nected by ribs of steel intersected with longitudinal plates that make | the entire structure cellular. As the | space between the two shells is several feet in depth in the case of large rupturing both shells; and short of that the ship would be in.no danger of foundering. Within the inner shell, transverse and longitudinal bulkhudj must, of course be provided to give further safety. The exact method of construction at present employed in battleships, and which, with minor modifications, will probably be applied to ail m— carrying craft in the near fut to be found already fully exampls 11 the construction of the hull of the bat. tieship New York, now bul at the Brooklyn navy yard.
