M thus establishing a record for the long The liner covered the distance, 4 miles, at an average speed of s. Th days runs were 491, 6/ and & miles to Daunt’s Rock ve passage was made In four days, to-day, ite. kne 594, twenty hours and twenty-seven min- | utes The Maurttania's trip will not stand for a port-to-port record, however, as they can only be made on the westward trip, over the short northerly course, Which transatlantic steamships take late in the summer, after the danger of encountering icebergs is past for the season, and they are gaining an hour daily by steaming along with the sun. coming westward, Nevertheless, Capt covered himself nonstrating that h Pritchard = will with glory by recent boast wis idle one, Before sailing last he told an Evening World re- porter that his ship was at least a knot faster than the Lusitania, her sister, and it was for that reason, when he was made Commodore, after Capt.

Pritchard has met the hardest kind of luck since he was placed in com- mand of the Mauretania, losing pro- |pellor blades and belng delayed by storms, running much of the tlme with three of her four screws and some of the time with only two, The climax was reached last fall whe na blade flew off and damaged the vessel to such an extent that it was necessary to dry- dock the big craft and give her a thor- ough overhauling. This !s her first round trip since the cleansing, and when she came out she set a pace that would have been a! record breaker for everything, but @ bit | of the old-time hard luck pursued Capt, | Pritchard, Upon reaching this port he stated that the Mauretania had made the beginning of the passage by cover- ing a distance of fifty-four miles in two | hours and two minutes, an average of nearly twenty-seven knota, | WEWNRL STEINER T JEROME IN PERI Awakes in Time to Save Ten- ants in His East Side City Magistrates Who Condemn Sunday Liquor Law as Enforced A SERVANT ENS LF BY OS 8, 1909, PRICE ONE CENT. —— KONPER 1 BE TRED USE BATIERE 6 jae Guilty, Janer’s Plea, and Counsel Cxims Place Sr) CALLS ON WIFE TO LISTEN AT PHONE, 19 HINSELF + ‘Albert Bellguadill, Head of the Unit versal Medical Institute, Winds Up © a Dispute About Payment of - Allowance in Dramatic Way.

Arrests Absurd, Krotel Says. Magistrate Krotel, when asked by an Evening World reporter how far Magis- trate Steinert's announcement repre. sented the feeling by which other mem- bers of the board would be gulded, sald in my opinion, nearly all of the ex- cise arrests for Sunday selling are ab- surd. But the law compels me to hold the accused man if a prima facte casa |e made against him. Such cases are very seldom made out “I would rather be excused from ex- pressing my opinion of the merits of the Jaw, as I have observed its workings in my experience in the District-Attorney's office and the two months I have been on the bench." The Justices of Special Sessions, after 4 conference, sald that they could only y they considered each excise case on ite merits, separately from every other case, and that {t was not becoming for them to comment on the value of the Jaw as jt stood, “Not Good or Helpful Law.” Magistrate Kernochan, sitting in the West Side Court, had fifteen prisoners before him this morning, charged with violations of the excise law by Sunday selling, He held most of them for trial “My peraonal opinion of the law,” he said, “Is that it 1s not a good or a helpful law. It ts perfectly true that the people of this city do not want it enforced and that there ts no real rep- Tesentative public sentiment for its en- forcement. Sentimentally, there are a lot of good people who like to know that such a law {8 on the books, but mighty few of these same people pay Any attention to it. “We should have a law, perhaps, that restricted certaip hours on Sunday, But a closed season from midnight Saturday until five o'clock Monday morning 18 an absurdity in a city like this, I'd lke to see a law allowing places to open In a quiet way after noon on Sunday, I have no complaint to make as to the police enforcement.
