PLANS OF CRUISER
ST. LOUIS MISSING.
Mystery Surrounds Disappearance
of Drawings Containing I'm
portant Improvements.

REPUBLIC. SPECIAL
Washington, May IA mystery surrounds
the disappearance OF the contract plans Of
the protected cruiser st. Louis. Whether
they have been lost or stolen probably will
be determined by an ofiiclal inquiry. Rear
Admiral Bowles. Chief Constructor, is quite
concerned about the matter and has ad-
vised the appointment. Of a board to investi-
gate.
The contract for the st. Louis was re-
Gently awarded to the Nefie Levy Ship
end Engine Building Company Of Philadel-
phia. In order that there might be no de-
lay in the ship. Admiral Bowles had tra-
cings made of the plans and forwarded
them to the firm through the superintend-
ipg naval constructor. The company now
asserts that 1t never received the plans and
when confronted with formal receipt
stated that the letter acknowledging receipt
Of the tracings was prepared in advance Of
delivery and was Observation-Disclosures and
delivered.
The tracings, of course. would have been
especially useful to foreign Government.
Admiral Bowles cannot understand how
they could disappear in such a way. He
has forwarded a set Of blue prints to the
Nefe & Levy Company pending the inves-
tigation.
Reduction in the draft Of the new battle
ships and protected cruisers has been ef-
fected by slight changes in design made by
Rear Admiral Bow'les The cruiserS draft
has been reduced a foot and that of the
battleships three inches.
The designs of the new battleships pro-
vided for a wooden docking keel six inches
deep. For this Admiral Bowles has sub
stituted a steel strip one inch thick and
twenty-four inches high. He has also given
the bottom slight dead rise. In the pro-
tected cruisers the dead lines have been
changed. The interior space is increased
can now be installed with less dificulty.

WHY PATSY FLYNN
RETAINED HIS JOB,
An Irishman's Courage on a Bat

Many Years.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. May Ills name was Patsy
Flynn, and he was just plain. big-fsted
Irishman, who saw his duty every day and
did 1t, in the internal revenue office in Chi
cago. Then he was absent for a long time
on account Of sickness, and they thought
to drop him. hut Patsy had friend high at
court, though he did not know it.
Comptroller Dawes of the Treasury De-
partment heard about Patsy's trouble and
interested himself in the case. He inter-
viewed the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue and told the story which accounted
for his concern in Patsy's affairs. The
story was this:
How Patsy Saved His Major.
In a battle of the Civil War on Georgia
field, Mr.. Dawes's uncle. who was Major.
was badly shot one day. wounded in the
back of his head and part of his jaw car
ried away. so he could lie on neither his
face nor his back. Patsy. who was a pri-
vate. saw his Majors plight and realized
that quick trip to the field hospital was
on tho cards. But there was no stretcher
nor other means of conveyance at hand
The Major was getting weaker from loss
Of blood. and things looked desperate. Just
then teamster came along In a wagon
with a load of mail. Patsy attempted to
negotiate for a trip to the hospital, but
the teamster was obdurate He had his
order" which did not contemplate turning
his vehicle into hurry-up wagon.
where Orders Did Not Count.
Patsy looked at the Major. who was sink
ing fast Orders be dom'd." said Patsy,
rolling UP his sleeves. Get down off that
seat. ye blaggard,'' and with that he
grabbed the teamster, who resisted, and
gave him a good punching. When the team
ster cried enough he was requisitioned In
to helping the Major into the wagon and
drove of, with Patsy supporting the wound
ed officer.
Mr.. Dawes had read this story in his IA
ther's memoirs. and when Patsy's case was
brought to his attention he concluded it
was up to him." Patsy is still holding
that job.
