3 WASHINGTON. March S.-A re-
mariable caseof pension fraud, the latest
developments in which have just come
to light, has been made public by the
pension Office. About eight years ago
George Watson with four aliases, was
sentenced TO fine and Imprisonment for
having drawn four separate pensions.
At the time Of his conviction he had two
other claims for pension on file. Being
an exemplary prisoner Watson was dis
charged In June. 1896. Shortly after,
under the name Of George Kelley, he
presented a claim for pension on ac-
count OF service in the Mexican war on
the ship Savannah. and later filed appli-
cation for still another on account OF
service In the rebellion on the ship Paw
nee. In this his dupliclty was discover
ed as result. OF which he was held in
Philadelphia several days ago in $1,000
bail

Nofdenfelt was the first to produce really modern vessel of this charac- ter In 1886 he built at Stockholm submarine boat which proved capable of descending to a depth of thirty feet, and steaming sixteen miles at a speed of five knots. Next year he built a still larger one at Southampton, cap- able of steaming fifteen knots an hour and developing 1000 horsepower. Though the experiments with these boats gave apparently satisfactory re- suits, it was felt that they could hard ly be depended upon for work in act ual warfare. The chief defect lay in the motive power, which was steam. Thus, when the boat went below the surface, all drought had to be shut off and the engines driven by the supply of heated steam which remained in the boilers. Of course this became rapid ly exhausted, and in order to get LID steam it was necessary for the boat to come on top again. In action such 8 defect as this might easily prove fa- tai, for the boat might be compelled to show herself at a time when the enemy's guns could bear upon her with destructive effect.
