Lusitania To Get New Propellers For Speed Boost
The Cunard liner Lusitania sails tomorrow with full first and second class cabins. On arrival on the other side she will be dry docked ten days for propeller changes to two smaller brass units plus manganese bronze replacements from the Mauretania to gain speed. The new propellers, about thirty feet in diameter, cost $10 000 each and will have adjusted pitch. Lisbon voyage aims for twenty six knots on the next crossing, though not expected to beat the Mauretania. The Lusitania’s stern was stiffened after its first trip. Also aboard tomorrow are Slavonia wreck inquiry officers and crew, who travel to London for the Board of Trade hearing, while Capt Dunning remains on the Slavonia with Chief Officer Anderson. They regret the captain’s accommodating nature that caused the ship to stray seventy miles off course to Gibraltar and run aground after passengers requested to view Flores. Due to crowded saloons, Slavonia officers will ride in quarters aboard the Lusitania’s steerage.

Church Builds Spite Fence Sparks Middletown Feud
In Middletown New York the First Congregational Church and Dr J B Hulett clash over a refused cleanup order and a new eight foot board fence. The church erected the barrier blocking light and air and a 10 by 4 foot sign with a mock biblical quotation loomed above the fence as residents watched. The sign quotes a phrase about cutting off a neighbor light now seen as a provocation. Both sides await developments and possible fence removal.
