MACHINE THAT COULD
ANNIHILATE AN ARMY
Wonderful Invention Claimed in Which a Salt
Lake Man is Interested.
concentrate Rays Of Sun With Such Force That Nothing
Can Withstand the Heat.

II all that is claimed can be realized
from an invention in which John c.
Sharp of this city is interested, then the
greatest work of Edison and Tesla will
be thrown completely into the back
ground.
Mr. Sharp recently came to Salt Lake
from Seattle and is said TO be a man of
capital He is the financial hacker of
the project, which, he says, involves the
production of heat and power for all
scientific, industrial and military pur-
poses direct from the rays of the sun

revolution OF the day is promised as the
Mr.. Sharp told of the great invention
yesterday and were IL not for the fact
that his modest demeanOr and intelligent
bearing indicated otherwise It might be
suspected that he contemplated entering
the field Of fiction left vacant by Jules
Verne.
Mr. Sharp declares that the greatest
work to be done by this invention is on
the battlefield. and il is the hope and
intention of himself and the inventor TO
play leading part in the war now in
progress in China. The inventor is firm
In the belief that with his simple machine
he can melt the armor of the best war
vessel at a distance of nine miles and
render the great sea monsters absolutely
helpless
Annihilate the Enemy
In a battle on land. Mr.. Sharp says.
everything within a radius Of nine miles
of the machine could be literally burned
up. The enemy would be annihilated
swept from the face Of the earth. The
men would not only be killed but their
bodies would be consumed, thus saving
the expense of bUrying them and avoid
ing the danger Of disease. which is al
ways present where large numbers of
men are killed.
This destruction, the inventor claims,
would be wrought by frightful heat To-
cusSed upon the object intended TO be de-
stroyed, and one of these machines would
make a complete sweep of everything
within a radius of nine miles. Stone
walls would go down like paper before
this force. so that II can be readily seen
how important it would be in China at
this time the matter, Mr. Sharp says,
is now before the war and navy depart
ments of the government and the hope OF
the inventor is to have some OF his ma
chimes in operation in China inside OF the
next three months.

PORTO RICO
PEACE PLAN
Originated In The Senate
And Is Being Con-
sidered
SPEAKER HENDERSON
Gives a Pointer TO The Sen
ators Which Is Not
Very Comfort
ing

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The re-
publicsns of the senate are trying to
induce eight or more of their recall
citrsnt me m bers to join rank and cast
solid party vote for the Porto Rican
tariff bill.
The plan is to separate the senate
civil government bill from the meas
ure recently passed by the house and
then to pass that bill If possible just as
it came from that body.
However, the unanimity with
which the Iowa state legislature has
spoken for free trade with Porto Rico
has alarmed many of the senators and
representatives from the northwest
and the schedule may be changed.
Speaker Henderson has notified the
senate peace committee that If the cen
ate makes any alterations in the tariff
regulations of the Porto Rican bill
necessitating another vote in the
house on that question it cannot be
passed in the house.

KATE CHASE SpRAGUE
Sale OF the Treasures Of Woman
Who Once Reigned In Washing


NEW YORK, March 23.-A sale OF
much interes, from a sentimental point
OF view commenced yesterday at the
KnickerbOcker auction room in the
disposal of treasures from Edge
wood, the Washington home of the
late Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague.
The importance of the collection
and its probable material value may
be imagined when it is stated that it
represents an outlay of several fortunes.
Among the articles to go under the
hammer is one Venetian cabinet, which
is said to have cost $4,000. Another
article of rare value is Venetian
mirror which was carved at a cost of
SO 900.
Some good prices are looked for
owing to the historical interest
much of the furniture.

PORTO RICO

Despair Over the Situation Today
And the Outlook For the Er-
ture.
SAN JUAN, March 23.-The deepest
despair reigns in commercial circles
throughout the island as the result of
belief that ali hops of free trade is
lost. American officials had eocour-
aged the belief that it would be grant
ed, and they share the disappointment
of the merchants.
Business depression, the tiresome
delay and uncertainty have caused the
anti American issue to become by far
the strongest on the island. Even in
Ponce, the most American of Porto
Rico's cities, the agitation last night
had reached such d stage that ply
sical demonstration is feared, and the
troops in the barracks slept on their
arms.
A gift OF So OO0. 900 does not compep-
safe Porto RIcaus for the Imposition of
even 15 per cent tax.

AFTER THE ROBBERY.
After the robbery continues the con
fession, they rode at furious pace, un-
til one of their horses was exhausted.
Then they turned IL loose, threw away
the saddle, and both together rode the
one horse. Then they got down and
walked ten miles to where the two COW
boys had concealed the other horses
for them.
This was on the side of q hill, and
here they concealed the other saddle
and the notes and bank papers; and
here also they shaved off their boards.
They met the cowboys, gave them
their hundred dollars, and then rode

about the reward,' continued Mr..
Lowe, there is a good story back of
the way they got share of it. There
was Capt. YOeman and a party OF the
First Ohio cavalry. who were around
at the time and as it was necessary to
get the votes of the Ohio senators to
pass the bill they rung him in for a
portion of it too. That's the way they
got it. Everyone knows the real story
and Col. Pritchard got the credit as he
deserved. At that time our regiment
was doing duty in small details guard
ing creeks and fords to watch for
Davis and his party when they should
try to pass, and it seems to me that
the rect of them were IS much entitled
to share of that money as the Wis
consin men.

DEFENDS MRS. RICH
Lie. Joaquin Cortdzdr. Jr., the Son
OF Gov. Ahumddd's Secretary,
To the Rescue NTH His Power
ful Influence

Mrs. Rich has again changed her
lawyer. She has had another one OF
her spells and has dismissed Lie. Gan
dars On the very eve of her hearing at
chihuahua. although she had up to
that time shown every confidence in
him. What reason if any she gives for
this extraordinary change of front is
not known.
Her action may, however, be fraught
with the most momentous conse-
quences to her case. for she has engaged
in his place Lie. Joaquin Cortszar. son
OF the secretary to Gov. Ahumada. Sec.
Cortezar is one of the most powerfula and
Influential man in the entire state of
Chihua hua through his official position
and intimate personal relations with
the governor. It Ia said that he has
made and unm ade the political careers
of several public men. So his son.
Mrs. Rich's new attorney, should be
able, If he is so inclined, to exert
tremendous influence in her behalf and
If her liberty can possibly be secured
in this way Lie. Cortazar is the man to
secure it.
How Mrs. Rich succeeded in secur-
ing his services has net been learned
yet. 1t is presumed th ct he would as
matter of course demand a very
handsome fee fer his services, much
larger than any that Mrs. Rich could
afford to pay so that some very strong
influence has been exerted in her be-
hall. Just from what quarter this
could come Ia hard to sea at present.
In any case it is to be sincerely hoped
that Mrs. Rich will have no more of
her crazy spells and will retain his
services and follow his advice. Her
ca lse Is set to come for hearing on
Mo 1dsy and may last sometime
The news of Mrs. Rtch's latest
cha 1ge OF lawyers and the date for her
trial was received the other day from

rez.
