Washington dispatch: The United
States Navy Department. like that OF
France and Great Britain. is expert
menting with submarine boats.
A few weeks ago Simon Lake sub
mitted TO the Navy Department care
FULLY worked out plans for submarine
boats OF three orders; small kind that
pould be carried by n battleship and
used as picket boat. larger type for
coast defense work and a still larger
order for cruising purposes. having a
radius OF action OF thousands Of miles
The result Of Mr.. Lakes interview with
the board Of construction will be the
building OF boat OF the coast defense

submarine boats now building for this
government; and II this boat accom-

The feature about the boat that made
the greatest appeal TO the popular mind
was the diving chamber. II was I'm
there, air-locked on from the rest OF
the craft, that the air pressure was
gradually increased until It equaled the
pressure OF the water without. Then
Mr.. Lake would unfasten the big iron

For three years the Templara Of the

Some Hare Attractions.
The week OF the conclaye will be one
OF rare attractions. The states repu-
tation for hospitality Is TO be main
tanned at the Louisville custom house,
where the Grand commandery OF Ken
lucky will have headquarters. This is
one OF the handsomest buildings In
the south. The entire second floor will
DO at the disposal OF the grand body
OF the State Templars and seven ele-
CANT entertainments are scheduled for
the week. Other public buildings that
Will figure prominently In the exer-
cises that mark the week will be the
city hall, an elegant building that will
be converted for the time being into an
electric palace, and where several OF
the important commandery entertain
ments will occur. the Jefferson coun-
~ court house. where a number OF
commanderles will have headquarters.
and the Female High school, where the
ofiicial sessions OF the grand encamp-
ment OF the Knights Templar will be
held.
Particular attention is being paid to
the subject OF illumination and deco
ration, the sum OF $4,000 being OK
pended In this manner alone. A
quadruple electric arch is TO be the
most noteworthy feature.
The Kentucky Grand commandery
headquarters In the Louisville custom

.UARTERS BURNED OUT

Norfolk. Neb., Sept. 23.-The asylum
for the insane in this city was COM
pletely destroyed by fire today. It is
said that three of the inmates were
burned to death. The fire originated
from some unknown cause. The loss on
buildings and their contents will reach
an amount estimated at not less than
$500 600.
Owing to the early hour and the un
preparedness of the fire department,
but little could be done in the effort to
save the institution. Before the fire.
men reached the site it was found that
the main building was doomed. There
were six hundred inmates in this struc-
ture and the efforts to rescue them
were difficult in the extreme
Shrieks and yells of some of them
filled the air, and many fought against
the attempts Of the rescuers. Others
We're completely cowed, and the at
tendants had no difficulty in leading
them out of the burning buildings.
Three of the inmates have been found
to be missing. As the citizens of the
city turned out as soon as the fire was
reported and prevented the escape of
the inmates, it is believed that the
missing trio were burned to death
The citizens of Norfolk did every
thing possible to assist the authorities.
They acted as guards for the insane
patients and it is believed that none of
them can get away before a special
train arrives to take them to the Lin
coin and Hastings asyluns-
At noon the main hospital building
had been completely burned out. There
We're seven buildings in all on the
grounds, and but three of them were
saved
So far no more than three Of the in
mates have been missed. There seems
no doubt that they have been burned to
death.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23.-At the request
of the state authorities the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad this
afternoon sent a special train to Nor
folk with fire apparatus and to take
the insane patients to asylums at Lin
coin and Hastings and to other places
of safety. The reports received at the
headquarters of the road at 2 p m was
to the effect that the fire had practical
ly eaten itself out.

was coal there at the time on the Aer-
rimac."
s.Steaming at 10 knots about how
much coal would the Massachusetts
consume on a days run2'
That do not remember"
assuming that it was so tons a day
that would give her a steaming radius
of what?''
My recollection is that we could
make four and a half miles per ton of
coal SO that would be about 220 miles
a day on 90 tons, and I think this prob
ably not far from what was the case
Allowing then sufficient coal on the
assachusetts with an equipment Of
SEQ tons to reach Key West, how long
could she have remained on blockade
steaming backward and forward as she
did from May 2S to June >"
IF she used 40 tons a day she could
have remained 20 days"
He then stated that she could have
remained Is days and would have had
sufficient coal left to go to Key West.
Assuming the distance to Key West
to be 400 miles. what coal would have
been necessary" asked Captain Lem
ley.
Commander Schroeder: Il should
thing $50 to It's tons would probably
have taken US there. We can always
rely upon that as a rule
When Commander Schroeder left the
stand he was requested to return to-
morrow and correct the official copy of
his testimony of today if necessary.
He said he would do so. and asked If
he could then be excused. II desire to
make my preparations for returning to
Guam he said. He was told that he
could do SO.
Lieut.. Commander Heilner. who was
navigator of the Texas during the
Spanish war. was next called. He said
he had heard no guns fired when the
squadron approached Cienfuegos. To
his knowledge no effort was made to
ascertain whether the Spanish fleet was
in the harbor at that point, or to de-
troy Spanish works there. Nor had
there been any effort to communicate
with Cubans on shore until McCalla
arrived on the Marblehead.
He told how the feet had proceeded
from Cienfuegos to within twenty miles

Consistency. Oh. Consistency.

Consistency, oh, Consistency
Forest preservation should DC
undertaken at once and Systematically
The greed of a few should not DC
allowed to interfere with the good OF
the many"
What splendid, patriotic reasoning
Is found in the above declaration, to
be found in MI. RooSevelt'S message
to congress-. ''The greed of the few
should not be allowed to interfere
with the good of the many" Amerl'
canism, pure and simple.
But is it not strange that Mr.
Roosevelt should only seek to apply
this rule to the matter Of u forests
while at the same time he declares for
a protective system that enricheS the
classes and ~pauperizeS the masses? We
fail to see the force Of the presidents
tender sOlicitude for the welfare of the
public regarding forestry, while at the
same time he upholdS legalized rob-
berry along other lines.
Mr.. Roosevelt shonld attend q
school of consistency.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1901-12-07

Mr.. Roosevelt in his message to
congress advises the regulation Of
trusts, but says that protection is a
good thing and should not be "tink-
cred" with by congress. That the
president has given ear to the
demands of corporate wealth is,now
apparent. Those who had hoped for
better things at the hands Of Mr..
Roosevelt will have to seek relief
through the democratic party. The
president must think the American
people extraordinarily gullible.
