DUFFEY'S INJURY
CAUSES REGRET
NEW TELEGRAPH CODE
FOR ARMY AND NAVY
Will Battle All But Those Holding Key
Books and Will Prevent
Many Errors.

A new secret cipher telegraph code
for the use Of the War Department and
the army has been invented and will he
put into general use very soon. Tests
have shown that while Duplicated to
the degree necessary to prevent de-
cipher:ng by those who do not have the
key book. it works successfully. and is
capable of translation easily by those
familiar with its arrangement.
The army cipher c>perts are enthusi-
astic in its praise. The old code was
not only difficult OF translation and ca
pable of confusion. thus causing many
errors. but vas not regarded as invul-
nerable against translation by foreign
cipher experts.
The code was invented and prepared
by Waiter T. A. Aileusworth. private
secretary TO Adjrtant General Coz bin.
who has worked en- it outside of Office
hours fer several months.

Ready for Trial.
Trainer Myron McHenry gave his ia
nous PAGER several warming up miles
early in the afternoon and at O'Clock
notified the judges that he was ready for
the trial.
On the second score McHenry nodded
for the word and Dan Patch shot away
from the wire we'll on his stride. The
first turn bothered him little. and the
first quarter was made in OBI fiat.
Up the backstretch the son Of Joe
Patchen had the wind at his back ana
he passed the half mile pole in 100 fiat.
pacing the second quarter in 0:29 fiat.
The third quarter was made in 0:30A.
making the three-quarters in 1904.
Easy for Dan Patch.
McHenry held a watch in his hand and
when he was half way down the stretch
he saw that he would beat 2:01A easily.
50 he began to take back. The result
was that McHenry did not call on Patch
for any extra effort at the finish, and
passed under the wire in 2:002t.
There is no doubt but that Dan Patch
could have paced the mile today in an
even two minutes had McHenry been
disposed to call upon every ounce OF re-
serve speed the bay PAGER had.
