JOE SINGERS INVENTION
Novel Treatment of the Barrels of
Guns

Joseph Singer of the Southern California
Arms company has returned from an ex-
tended trip through the east In the interests
of an invention for the treatment of gun
barrels This invention consists Of chem
ical compound which, when applied to the
inside of rifle. gun or pistol barrel, pro-
duces hard surface which. the inventor
claims, greatly prolongs the life of the bar
rel and prevents rusting, pitting and lead
ing, consequently great improvement in
the shooting qualities of an arm SO treated
Is secured.
Mr.. Singer passed four months in the
east, where he visited the principal gun
factories and gave demonstrations of the
value of his invention. Another good point
discovered In the material is that 1t gives
greater velocity to the ball. The atten-
ton of the government was brought to the
invention and tests were made of 1t by the
governmental experts 1t is probable that
the government will take up the proposition
on a royalty. A company was organized
by Mr.. Singer In New York.
kid" Parker is in the city and will chal-
lenge the winner of the Thompson-Lewis
fight, which occurs before the Los Angeles
Athletic club tomorrow night. Thompson
now weighs 1895 pounds and expects to
enter the ring at 1874. Lewis will probably
be about the same weight. Both men are
in excellent condition and a lively match
will be witnessed. Parker got the decision
over Thompson at Hazards pavilion last
year.

Theodore Nelson, proprietor of the Den
yer grocery and market, at the corner Of
Washington and Arapahoe streets. jan
sen visited the house Of Mr.. Popperwill
during the afternoon. When the latter re-
utrned home his daughter informed him
that Jansen had attempted to assault her.
Popperwill followed after Jansen, and
caught him on Washington street. and de-
tanned him until the patrol wagon and de-
tectives arrived. DR.. Hagan examined the
girl. but was unable to discover any evil
dences of the alleged assault Jansen is
given a splendid reputation by his en-
ployer. The detectives released Jansen
last night, as they were satisfied they could
not make a case against him.

regular army.
b. +. Tomlinson. who was formerly con-
nected with the composing room of The
Herald. Is also In the Third artillery.
Fat" as he was called by his friends,

secured from racing on the wheel no doubt
contributed to get him into fine physical
condition. which will enable him to with
stand the hardships Of the Manila cam

| Miss Arnold, II goes without saving Is as
patriotic as she is pretty. She took a keer

the country, was thrilled by It,

announced her determination TO see him and

occurred to her to do anything of the kind.
When Lieut.. Hobson and his party reach

Actuated by a purely patriotic impulse,
she asked the lieutenant If she might kiss
him. Both blushed. Lieut. Hobson gallant

Miss Arnold did not think much Of It a

She blushed, and then her pluck came 70

she had seen all the newspapers had to say

Another Coal Miners Strike

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 10-If the
resolution adopted at the recent general
convention Of the United Mine Workers
is obeyed, all diggers in the Pittsburg
district not receiving the district price
will quit work today. Inasmuch as IL is
not generally known how many mines are
running contrary to the Chicago agreement
provisions, 1t cannot be estimated how
many diggers the strike order will effect.
The strike will probably center In the
river region, where numerous mine owners
are alleged to be violating the agreement
The struggle will be the hardest in the
third pool, against with an unsuccessful
strike was prosecuted some weeks ago.

A MATTER OF SPEED
The New Battleships Must Be Flyers
Guarantees REQUIRED

| NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
| The Naval Board of Construction has
decided not to make new designs for the
battleships Maine. Missouri and Ohio, but
to recommend to Secretary Long that the
bids for those vessels be opened September
l. This action was In response to question
propounded to the board a week ago b.,
the Secretary, who asked whether, in vie
Of the criticisms which had been made re-
earding the speed Of the vessels as origin
ally designed,i 1T might not he better to recall
the circular issued to shipbuilders and de-
lay the opening Of bids after September ].
in order that new plans could be drawn
This action by the board while 1t apparent
ly favors sixteen knot ships, in reality does
nothing Of the kind but simply emphasizes
the belief heretofore expressed by q ma
jority of its members that ship builders
should have an opportunity to declare
whether they will be willing to guarantee
a speed exceeding II knots, which all but
one of the members of the board are con-
fident should be obtained under the original
specifications.
The only member who dissented from the
decision reached was Engineer In Chief
Melville, who submitted eleven complet e
plans Of engines, exhibiting improvements
| upon those forced into the original ship
through restrictions as to space and bulk
heads, taking advantage Of the opportunity
offered to ship-builders by which they
might submit alternative plans keeping
the same weights and general arrange
ments Of space. Commodore Melville
showed nine plans. all Of which he guaran-
teed would give a speed exceeding ia
knots with a reduction in some Instances
Of 100 tons Of coal, but at the same time
securing greater radius OF action.
The Engineer in Chief also presented two
designs by which, with 600 tons added to
the displacement II these vessels, he
could guarantee IS knots speed and
radius Of $500 knots with 1900 tons OF coal
capacity.
These plans will have further consider
| alton, but the board determined that as
it would take several months to re-desian
the entire vessel, comparatively Insignia
| cant delay would occur If the bids were
opened September LIST, and the navy would
be so much the gamer If contractors guar
| anteed high speed in the existing vessel.
| If at the time proposals were deemed un-
| satisfactory. new designs could be started
| and energetically completed. In any event.
| the board expressed determination to ac-
cept no vessel with less guaranteed speed
| than II knots.
