South-Side Grievancea.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Citizens of the South Side have at divers
times been annoyed and grossly insulted by
class of hoodlums who monopolize public
corners insult passersby, using profane lam
guage, sneering remarks, breaking window
lights, destroying private property, throw
ing missiles and snowballs, all against the
peace and dignity of the commonwealth
These indignities have been going on for a
number of years. The police authorities
have been appealed to. Time and again
they have made attempts to break it UP.
Warrants have been served and persons ar
rested. They have almost always been ac-
quilted before Judge Cox. In one case a
gang Of church disturbers were arrested for
miSdemeanor at Barth-aVenue Church but
they were all acquitted. The other day
these same samples of our rising genera
ton were up before his honor for throwing
snowbaIls, and l believe these were the
words that fell from the judges lips This
is a case / don't think should hare been
brought. / dare say there is not a person
in this courtroom who has not been guilty
Of just such things, and see no particular
harm in 1t. Boys, you are discharged" II
boys are allowed to ply their nefarfous acts
by pelting everybody with snowballs or mis-
SIZES IL II is understood that is the law we
will appeal to a higher tribunal. It is hoped
public opinion will SO caution his honor that
the next time any complaint OF this char
acter comes before him, he will not only
punish the culprlts, but admonish all others
that law and order must be obeyed

quisite coloring of the coral and fish, and
his every movement He was looking for
foe. and one of the most dangerous che sea
divers know. Slowly he approached the ship
and the spot where the octopus was hidden
under the bilge Of the vessel 1t was still
there, and was also watching him carefully.
JAS he approached the animal moved from
under the vessel, gathering itself for the at
tack
There were four or five feet between the
coral reef and the vessel at this point, and
Capt Conrad settled himself for the battle.
1t was not long in coming. The snakelike
creature moved forward and reached out
with one Of it's long arms only to be met
by a vigorous blow from the harpoon. The
sea creature was quick and avoided the
blow and touched the diver on the hip, but
lost the arm at once, one cut severing 1t
clean.
Then the fight began in earnest. One or
two blows were given with but slight effect,
but fortunately the harpoon was driven
deep into a vital spot When injured. these
creatures discharge a dye which colors the
water perfectly black. When hit this time
having his vision cut off, Capt. Conrad
rushed for safety. He managed to get be-
yond reach with but little difficulty, and
again gave the danger signal
For long time he remained on board
the tender boat and the coloring discharged
by the octopus came to the surface. Within
a few minutes it had cleared away and
again Capt Conrad went down to resume
the battle The devilfish was dead, how
ever, but remained close under the hull or
the vessel, just at the point where work
was necessary. The harpoon was driven
deep into the body but the animal weighed
more than the diver could move. A rope
was attached to the harpoon,, but those on
the coat could not pull the fish away.
Capt. Conrad, while speaking of his re-
markable adventure, stated that the octo-
pus was about three feet broad, and its body
was twice that length, while its arms ex-
tended some eight or ten feet When there
was no longer danger from the octopus he

NEW PROJECTILE.
Won't Explode i'm the Gun, and More
Destructive than Dynamite.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IA new proiec-
tile for war ships has been invented by John
V. Rice, jr., young engineer of this city.
Its chief value, the inventor says. is that it
cannot be exploded until it leaves the gun.
"A shell fired into magazine filed with my
projectiles." he declares, would not explode
them. They develop on explosion pressure
of 200 tons to the square inch, and are much
more destructive than dynamite shells, and,
unlike dynamite, develop heat capable of set
ting fire to anything with which they come
in contact" Mr.. Rice is only tWenty-six
years old. At seventeen he devised a triple
cylinder gas and steam engine, which was
at once placed on the market by a Whining
ton (Del) firm. Since then he has taken
out more than forty patents.
