LEAST VISIBLE AT NIGHT.
Experiments Show Black to Be Best
Color for Warships.
Black is tlie color least visible at night,
according to experiments just made by
tlie army artillery men on the I'acitic

been for years the "wai paint'* of the
American navy, was shown to he the
most visible of all the colors tested.
One l>oat so painted was frequently

! COURT RULING DEFINES
RIGHTS OF TRADESMEN
Wbeu Without Bundles May Enter
Apartment Houses From
the Front.
Rules of apartment houses or other
building.' which require tradesmen to
use a certain entrance do not apply to
tradesmen when they are not carrying
packages or bundles, according to a de
clsion of Judge James I... Pugh in the
Police Court today.
"Simply because a man is known as a
tradesman does not signify that he must
use a rear entrance "r some other en
trance to the building.'* said the court
in ruling that Maurice Kreps. a tailor
of 17!?- Columbia road northwest, had a
right to use the front entrance of an
apartment house at HMO Biltmore street
northwest. The court held that Irving
Jordan, a colored janitor, was guilty of
assault when he pushed Kreps in en
forcing the order against his entrance.
Statement by Kreps.
Kreps testified that he went to thej
apartment house to see a nlan and that j
Jordan refused to allow him to go in by j
the front way. He declared he carried !
no packages or bundles.
Jordan said that Kreps bad been in
the apartment house on a number of
occasions and that it was a rule of the
house that tradesmen should use an en
trance in the rear. He said he told ?
Kreps he would have to use the trades- |
men's entrance or he would not be al- |
lowed to go up stairs. A bell boy at the j
apartment house also testified that he.
told the tailor he would have to use an |
entrance other than the front way. Both j
the janitor and bell boy said they knew
Kreps was a tailor and fpr that reason ;
told him he would have to use the trades
men's entrance.
Court's Ruling.
"Just because a man is a tailor, law
yer or something else," the court stated,
"it does not signify that he must use
u rear entrance to such a public build
ing, it" lie does not carry packages or
bundles."
Attorney Diggs, who represented
Jordan, argued that it was not a public
building, "but the court declared that it
was.
"It is a quasi-public building," he said,
"and that man had a perfect right to
go in by the front way. He was not
carrying any bundles or packages, and.
therefore, I hold that he had a perfect
right to go in there."
The court held that as Jordan had
placed his hands on the tailor. lie was
guilty of an assault, as charged. Judge
Pugh ordered Jordan's personal bonds
be taken to keep the peace.

AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE. I
Hull of a Ship Subject to Changes
of Form.
That the huH of a ship is subjcct to
considerable changes of form, due to
variations in temperature, has been de
veloped by recent e.\p< rlments by Naval ]
Constructor S. F. Smith. U. S. N. Using \
the naval colliers for his tests, he found
that some of the ships either sagged in
the middle or "hogged" (meaning to
drop at the ends) about one inch for
evi ry se\ en degrees change of tempera
ture, and that the middle of the ship
may move up and down as much as six
inches With reference to the ends.
These experiments may throw light
upon the causes of the breaking of
shafts.

Left on Street Car, But Pea
nuts Furnish Pleasure.

morning accompanied his mother and
others from the family residence at In
dian Head, Md.. to this city to attend a
wedding. Tin- party reached the navy
yard about 10 o'clock and boarded a
street car to go to the northwest sec- j
tion of the city. j
At Pennsylvania avenue and 12th street i
northwest Mrs. Mclnerney and friends
left the car. and it continued on. plow- |
ing its weary way up Pennsylvania ave- j
nue.
"Where's my child?" Mrs. Mclnerney
asked suddenly, a few minutes later,
missing him from the group.
Sends Friends in All Directions.
Eddie had evidently remained aboard
the car. The distressed mother sent her
friends in every direction to search tor
the younger member of the family. Some
made inquiries of the police, while others
sent telephone messages to inquire what
had become of the missing member of
the party.
Wlille Mrs. Mclnermay and her friends
were worrying about the child, Eddie was
having a good time with the conductor 011
the car, and soon the car returned to
Pennsylvania avenue and 12th street. The
conductor recalled that the child's mother
had left the car there, and when a stop
was made he saw the countenance of a
lady on the street undergo a sudden
change.
"My boy:" she shouted, and Eddie, with
a bag of peanuts in his hand, alighted
and walked to his mother as if nothing
had happened.
"I had a good time." he said.

BAN JOHNSON WORRIED.
Declares Tinker and Browa Foolish.
No Action Against St ovall.
CHICAGO, December 29.?The news that
Joe Tinker and Mordecai Brown had
signed contracts to manage teams in the
Federal league was received by Presi
dent ? Ban Johnson of the American
League here yesterday, and he declared
that he considered both men were mak
ing a foolish move in jumping organized
base ball to hook up with the so-Palled
outlaws.
Although President Johnson has given
no strong et'id^nce that the Federal
League Is causing him concern, it is
known that he is viewing the situation
with no great pleasure. The attitude
w hich botli major leagues held in regard
to the Federals last season is undoubtedly
a thing of the past, and instead of letting
the Federals have all the rope they want
it is planned now to go out and light
what now looms up as a peril to the. in
terests of the major league club owners.
The defection of such a player as Tinker,
at a time when he was the most promi- |
nent figure in base ball, has proved a
stunning blow, and grave fears are enter
tained that other stars may follow. Pros
pects of a real base ball war have In
creased greatly during the last two days,
and It may be that the Federals will be
able to pursue the tactics the American
League employed several years ago, when
Johnson fought the National League as
they now plan to battle both the National
and" American Leagues.
As for invoking the aid of the civil
courts in the Tinker case. President John
son would not be quoted, evidently on the
supposition that this was a case for the
National League. He declared that uo ef
fort would be made to bring George Sto
vall back to the American League. The
ex-St. Louis manager had incurred the
displeasure of Johnson some time ago
and this* led to his being replaced by
Branch Rickey.

Philadelphia Garment Workers Show
Signs of Yielding, Em
ployers Assert.
PHILADELPHIA, December 29.?Ac
cording to employers, the garment work
ers* strike showed signs of breaking up
today. Several of the manufacturers said
that employes applied for work in vary
ing numbers, but that there was not
enough work on hand to give all of them
employment.
Leaders of the cloak and skirt makers'
union said the strike has not been de
clared off, as the vote of the strikers on
the question of returning to wo k had not
yet been counted. Last week strikers
were told by the leaders that the union's
treasury was empty and there could be
no further payment of strike benefits.
No Discrimination Shown.
Manufacturers who are taking back
strikers say no discrimination is being
shown. It is declared that wages will re
main the same, but that the hours will be
reduced from fi'ty-four to fifty-two a
week. The manufacturers said that some
of the grievances which the strikers
wanted adjusted would be taken up after
all the men return to work.
The strike begun July 14, at that time
about 5,ooo being involved. Some of the
strikers returned to wo" k from time to
time, which led to some disorder. Two
men lost their lives in rights growing out ;
of the strike. 1
YANKEE ATHLETES SHOW WELL
Win Consistently in Antipodes, But
Parker's Injury Mars Sport.
SAX FRANCISCO, December 25).?Cable
advices from Wellington. N. Z.. say the
United States team made a good show
ing in the international athletic meet
there which was concluded yesterday.
The day's sport was marred, however, by
an accident to George Parker, the Cali
fornia sprinter. To avoid running into
the fence at the finish of the 120-yard '
race, Parker pulled up so suddenly that
he strained a tendon in his thigh and It
was necessary to assist him from the
field. Eustace M. Peixotto, manager of
the team, says it will be three weeks be
fore Parker is able to run again.
The race was won by Parker in 11 3-5
seconds.
A strong wind prevented fast time in
the longer races. Power, the American
distance runner, tired at the end of the
mile race and was beaten four yards by i
Hall, a Harrington runner, who had a
handicap of ??0 yards. Powers' time for
the full distance was 4 minutes 44 sec
onds.
Gaughey of the United States team
won the shot-put with a throw of 43 feet
1 inch. Templeton, who was third in this
event, took second place in the i>oie vault,
cU*iring 11 "feet o inches.

Again Terrorizes Cannes District.
CANNES, France, December 29.?The
people of the outlying districts are in
a state of panic over what they believe
to be Die reappearance of the "phantom
bandits" who terrorized the country
side for years by a series of murders
and outrages which long baffled the
authorities.

dead through a window as he was sit
ting with his family at the supper
table.. The previous night another ;
farmer was shot at, but not hit. In
each case a search failed to reveal any
clue to the perpetrators.

tectives of Pari* were engaged for
mouths in running down the band of
terrorists, and they arrested several
men whom they believe to be the lead
ers. Gendarmes and special detectives
from Marseille have been sent to the
district to investigate the new series
