report the elected candidate to the asso-

Watermelon Run at Stockton
Tomorrow.
There are very few cycling events
scheduled for tomorrow or the near
future. Not that interest in the sport is
tagging, but this is poor time of the
year for club runs or road races, as the
country roads are hot and dusty and the
weather is too warm for comfort.
Many of the local clubs will go to Stock
ton by boat tonight to attend the water
melon run of the Terminal City Wheelmen
there tomorrow. Another attraction for
those who like road racing will be the two
events arranged by the management of
the Hotel Raiael and open to all amateur
riders, a two-mile handicap and tive-miIe
handicap for which good prizes have been
offered. These Will De run off on the road

The Stockton meet will perhaps prove
the greatest drawing card, as the Native
Sons celebrate there on that day, and the
prizes they have offered are so liberal that
most of the best racing men will attend
thas meet. The races will be held under
the auspices of the cycling annex of the
Stockton Athletic Club, which is COM

clubs who have from time to time made
pilgrimages TO that city.
They have secured the half-mile dirt
track at Goodwater Grove, which has
always been lightning fast, and on this
the races will be run. There will be a
mile scratch and a mile handicap for the

Steals From People Who Have
Befriended Him.
Clarence Travers, alias Charles Harris,
was arrested on Kearny street yesterday
afternoon by Corporal Geimann and
Policeman Heaphy and detained at the
City Prison on the charge OF burglary.
Travers was bellboy in downtown
hotel and was arrested about eighteen
months ago for stealing jewelry from the
rooms of the guests. He was charged
with grand larceny, but the charge was
reduced to petty larceny, and on August
81. 1895, he was sentenced to four months
in the County Jail. He had been pre-
viously arrested for burglary. but "beat'
the case.
After his release from the County Jail
the memb bers of a church in the Mission
took an interest in him with the view OF
reforming him. One of them was Charles
A. Holm, 400 Thirtieth street, who took
him home to dinner. During dinner
Mrs. Holm remarked that she was going
TO Alameda next day to visit friend.
This was on October 6. she started the
next day, but had to return. having for
gotten something, and to her surprise
found Travers in the house. He ex-
planned that he had made call, but find
ing the front door locked he had gone to
the rear door, Wnlcn was uniockeu.
Mrs. Holm did not go to Alameda that
day and invited Travers to remain for
dinner, which he did. Next day she did
go to Alameda, and during her absence
Trayers entered the house and, it is
charged, stole an oyercoat, gold watch
and chain and a small sum of money.
A charge oil petty larceny will also be
placed against Travers. Charles Mingo, a
medium in the Mission, gave him So gold
piece to get changed, but it is claimed he
did not return with the money.

evidence was not strong enough to con-
vict on that charge. so he held him for
manslaughter.

Berah Colburn(born at Cabot, VT, Sept.

mathematical prodigies. His remarkable
powers became manifest as soon as he was
old enough to talk, and by the time he was
; years of age he was the wonder of both
Europe and America. In 1912, when he
was only 8 years old, he was taken to Lon
don in order that the great mathema-
ticians of the British metropolis might try
his powers. This was done to their salts
faction and with the following results:
He raised any number consisting of on,

by actual multiplication, faster than the

being found by proof to be right On

A Gun That WIN Garry 10 Miles.

A l6-inch bore gun, soon 10 be cast at
the Watervliet arsenal, will be the largest
in the United States. Two guns of larger
caliber have been made by the government
for coast defenses, but they were old-fash-
Toned smooth bores, and not to be COM
pared TO the new gun in size, weight, OF
anything except caliber. They are two
2O-inch guns, one of which is mounted at
Fort Hamilton, and one of which lies
mounted on the ordnance dock at Gov
eTnor's Island. These guns were not sue
cesses. The one at Fort Hamilton has
been fired few times, and each time its
recoil has seriously damaged its carriage.
The new gun will be nearly 80 feet long,
will have range of l6 miles, and be able
TO penetrate III inches OF the best steel
armor at distance of two miles. The
gun will weigh l25 tons, and it will throw
a solid, armor-piercing projectile weighing
237O pounds. When the projectile leaves
the muzzle of the gun it will be travelling
at the rate of 1000 feet a second, and il
plate of Harveyized steel 80 inches thick
were placed near the muzzle of the gun it
would be penetrated by the flying mass OF
the projectile.
This gun, mounted at Fort Wadsworth,
would be able to hurl 2370.pound pro-
jectile upon hostile man-of-war before
she got within seven miles of Sandy Hook.
The vessel would be exposed TO American
shot before she got in American waters,
for the range of the gun would be far
beyond the "three- mile limit, the distance
of its coast for which nation claims ju-
risdiction. England has in her coast de-
lenses and her navy Is guns of 16.inch
caliber, and France has eight Italy has
% guns of l7-inch caliber. The new gun,
work upon which has now begun at Wa
tervliet, will be superior in effectiveness,
however, to the Italian guns, although
they do have one inch more of caliber.
The great trouble so far found in the con-
struction of guns of such immense size AS
those considered has been that they
"drooped" at the muzzle after being fired
few times.
The ordnance board, in designing the
Watervliet gun, however, believes that it
has succeeded in overcoming this defect.
The maximum diameter of the breech of
the new gun will be go inches. The di-
ameter of the breech opening is 20 inches.
10 fire this gun will require a charge of
1000 pounds of powder, If the usual brown
prismatic kind is used If the gun is a
success more of the same kind will be built.
The ordnance board is confident it will be
a success and superior in effectiveness TO
any gun in the world,
