NEW DEATH DEALER
Wire Gun Of Unprecedented
Strength and Power.
Long Fight Between Guns and
ArmOr-Latter's Limit Reached.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-Uncle Sam Is build
ing a new l0-inch wire gun of a new pattern
which Is calculated to ustonish the world.
Never before In the history of the manufac-
ture of war implements has the world wit
messed greater struggle for supremacy be-
tween gun and amor plate In every country
than now. Governments and private con-
Germs alike take part in this competition.
At this time, however, no one can safely
predict which of the two, gun or ar
NOR, will be supreme. As far rs the navy
is concerned, the odds are slightly in favor
OF the gun, for 1t seems rs IL the limit OF
thickness OF armor for men-of-war has been
reached. Congress, taking these facts into
consideration, made an appro, Ration last
year for the construction Ot n lO-inch wire
gun, according to q new system, invented
BY John Hamilton Brown, an Amer
lean, This gun Is now being con-
structed ut the plant of the Reading
iron company, under the supervision OF
inspectors from the ordnance department OF
the U. s. army. Browns invention attract
ed much attention here and abroad some
years ago. At that time the gun. a fve-inch
experimental weapon, had been turned over
to the U. 5. government to be tested ut the
proving grounds at Sandy Hook. Tho SUBJ
sequent tests of this gun proved that, while
1t could not be called perfect arm, 1t GER
tainDy stood higher pressure and showed
greater endurance than any gun constructed
heretofore. As matter of fact the results
were accepted by France, England and
Germany. Nearly every power OF Europe
has tried its hand at wire wound guns, be-
fore and since that period. 1t appears now
that only England and Russia made any head-
way, while France, for the time being, dropped
the matter entirely, combining herself to
keeping watch over the achievements
of other governments. Comparing the
details Of the new gun with those
OF the old fve-inch Brown segmen-
tai gun, one finds that the inventor
evidently has taken a new departure. This
was necessary on account of the develop
ment of smokeless powder in the meantime.
To mention few alterations in the new gun,
the number of segments is greater, and the
dimensions of the powder chamber different,
the latter being shorter, but wider in the
new gun. The most important change, next
to the augmentation Of the number OF seq
ments, however, is that the liner OF the
core OF the gun will extend from
breech to muzzle. In the flve-inch gun
only the powder chamber was lined.
The new liner will DO thicker all through.
and especially so in the neck OF the gun at
the end OF the powder chamber and In the
chase. The gun will weigh 30 tons and Is
expected to hurl q 600 pound shell with
muzzle velocity OF 1883 feet per second.
Such a velocity would give the projectile II
the shell weighs 600 pounds instead of the
regulation weight of $50, a striking capacity
OF 3S,4l0 foot-tons. In other words, the
striking capacity per ton of weight OF gun
would be 1880 foot-tons Mt the m,zzlc-
something uncqualled in gun construction
in any country.

The Care of Pet Dogs.

There are pet dogs in the city whose
nails and teeth are cared for regularly.
Being indoors most of the time their
nails do not wear off as they would il
the dogs were running about more.
They get long so that they catch in
carpets and rugs. The teeth get dirty
and covered with tartar and they need
caring for, too. Then the dog is taken
to veterinary surgeon who makes a
specially of the treatment Of dogs and
birds. He trims the nails into proper
shape, and removes the tartar from the
dogs teeth and cleans and polishes
them. The dog is thus kept in con-
dition of comfort for itself and its
owner. Dogs are cared for in this
manner once or twice IL year.-New

Spalding Finally COnvicted-COuld

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Aug. 4-Charles Warren
81 aiding has finally been declared guilty of
embezzlement. The only thing now that
stands between the former president of the
Globe Savings bank and term in the peni-
tertiary is the Intervention of the supreme
court. The length of his Imprisonment de-
ponds upon the clemency of the board
Of pardons. Under the undeterminate
sentence law he cannot serve less than
one year nor more than IL. Between
these two periods the pardon board may
II 1t sees III, grant him freedom ON parole.
In all probability, judging from precedent,
this action would not be likely before at
least four or five years had been spent by
Spalding iii prison. Spalding's convic-
tion was not attained until after two juries
had declared him innocent in eases that were
practically the same As the present. The
worry and excitement of three trials. and
the adverse ending OF the last one. have left
Spalding almost a physical wreck. The ap-
pearance of the ex-banker indicates collapse
and his inability to 20 through new trial

DEFALCATION AND SUICIDE.
Last Vestige of Mystery in Alice
Barrett Case SweOt Away.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 6-The last vestige
of mystery in the Alice Barrett case has been
removed. An examination of Goldman Il
Codman's boo.s proved that she was n de-
faulter of the firms money to the amount
of something over $4,000. She had also
spent $500 OF her own $1,000 patrmony.
The money had gone in extravagant expen-
diture aud to the bucket shops. She is known
to have spent over $4O0 on herself and others
during the last month of her life. The
elder Goldman Is old ami the younger
Ill and the firm is to be dis
solved. Knowing this and fearing an
exposure she tried to burn the books and
this building with them. Hearing etep on
the stairs and hand at the door knob she
thought she was discovered and fell back Oh
the other alternative for which she
had prepared-suicide. The note found
in her bank book to the effect that no effort
be made to collect the $500 she said she had
loaned was left evidently to hide her dis
grace from her mother. Miss Barrett had
said she loaned the money to Captain
John Goldman and explained her
lavish dress and frequent absences to
her mother by the story that a rich old
maiden cousin Of Mr.. Codman's had taken II
fancy to her and was lavishing money upon
her. The cousin (Miss Wheelwright) had
never seen Miss Barrett and the latter had
loaned no money to Captain Goldman.

keeper Of the Agricultural insurance com
panyin Boston, and ex-treasurer OF the Mel
rose Highlands Congregational church and Of
the Melrose co. operative bank has been ar
rested here and taken to Massachusetts, for
trial. Newhall was member Of tho church,
and had been modest and abstemiOus
in his habits until last February. when he
began to affiliate with crowd OF high roll
lers." After that his whole mode of life
changed. He was receiving $15 per week,
and ''borrowed" to keep up the pace. He
was short in his accounts in all these places:
About $4,000 in all he says. When he walked
out OF the insurance company's office on
the morning OF his disappearance he
stepped into drug store and purchased a
glass Of soda and made up his mind to quit.
He left that evening on the Boston Bangor
boat. He had in his pocket some 800 or t26
age had been discovered. He obtained
board at the house OF William H. Gilley at
Southwest Harbor. Mr.. Gilley keeps boats
to let to summer visitors. Newhall gave the
name OF Bartlett and soon won Mr.. Gilleys
regard. the latter giving him employment in
connection with his business. State Detec-
tive Ira True Is engaged ut Bar Harbor in
watching the summer residences OF anuT Der
Of wealthy people. Recently he received
circular from Melrose describing Newhall,
and upon learning that the young skipper OF
Mr.. Gilley's yacht Guenn. which had been
on q cruise as far as Portland, bore strik-
ing resemblance to the missing treasurer,
went down to Southwest HarbOr, where he
found "Mr. Bartlett" in the boathouse. He
felt there was no installing his man,
and at once took him into custody.
Newhall did not deny his identity. but,
on the contrary. seemed much relieved.
Newhall's downfall is said to have been due
to his rejection By woman he loved for
another more favored sutton. He was ar
raigned on an indictment charging him with
the embezzlement OF $1,000 from the Agri-
cultural Insurance company. He pleaded
not guilty. and In default Of $4,000 bail was
committed to jail.

Fresh trouble may be anticipated In the set
Element OF the Greco-Turkish peace prelimin-

conference and decided to oppose by force
the landing of any Turkish reinforcements
on tho island. They notified Ismail Bey, the
Turkish civil governor. OF the decision ar
rived at. Bat the Turkish governor replied
that he could not acce such Il decision,
apparently taking the ground that
the Porte would persist in its intention
to reinforce the Turkish garrison in Crete.
Fears are EXPIRE here that the departure
Of the Turkish naval division may lead to n
