Submarine Boats.

| Washington, Sept. 30.-"The sub
marine boat of the future should b,
propelled by electricity" is the opinion
of Lieutenant Commander John r. Ed
wards, U. S. N, expressed yesterday
Commander Edwards is one of thu
| younger officers of the navy who /:
making a special study of SUBJ marine
torpedo boats, and Rear Admiral Mel.
vile. chief of the bureau of steam en-.
cheering, to which Commander Ed.
wards in connected, relies to q large
extent on his judgment.
1T is impossible to utilize steam fol
cub marine sailing" continued Com
mander Edwards, las the heat would
be too great. Inventors, therefore
turned to gasoline motors for surface
work and electric storage batteries
when submerged. All inventors cling
to the gasoline engine, for it gives their
boats a radius of action they could not
secure by the use of storage batteries
exclusively. The French boats use elec-
tricity alone. but this limits their range
to forty miles. The French, however,
are building on other lines, and have
one which uses steam on the surface. 1t
takes two hours to put out the fires and
sink the boat, however.
II believe 1t would be possible to
build submarine torpedo boats suffi-
GENTLY large to accommodate bat

sentenced to one years Imprisonment
in the Anamosa penitentiary The SEN
tence was the result of an agreement
which was made by her attorney and
the county attorney. Sheriff Marshall
will leave with his prisoner in a few
days. The crime for which Mrs. Hunt
was sentenced was the shooting of A.
II. Goodspeed in this city last July. The
deed was prompted by a desire for re-
venge which was actuated by jealousy
of Goodspeed's attentions to another
woman. She fired five shots, two of
them going wide Of their mark, and
three of them taking effect, innicting
scalp wounds Mrs. Hunt once since
her arrest tried to commit suicide, but
was saved by hard fight on the part
of her physicians. She has husband.

President Lockwood Delivers
His Annual Address Before
the Grain Dealers
LAWS FOR MARKETS NEEDED
Board Of Trade Rules Such as to Work
Injury to the Producer and Dealer
Inspection Department Should Be
Under Civil Service Rules-Gradins
Of Grains.
of GRAINS.

| Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 2-The first day of
the seventh annual convention of the
National Grain Dealers Association
was devoted entirely to listening to
welcome addresses and the annual adj
dress of the president. Owing to the
late arrival of great majority of the
delegates the convention was not called
to order until 2:3O in the afternoon.
Prayer was offered by Rev. George H.
Simmons Of this city and the principal
address of welcome was delivered by
Judge N. E. Worthington. Hon. Frank
j. Quinn also delivered an address of
welcome. The responses were by James
c.. German of Baltimore for the east, c..
ID. Jones of Memphis for the southeast,
E. S. Woodwork of Minneapolis for
the northwest, G. j. Gibbs of Clifton,
Texas, for the southwest.
President b. A. Lockwood, of Des
Moines, then delivered his annual adj
dress, saying in part:
I'VE need to exert our influence to
the making of laws, rules and regula
broad markets fully equal to the ever
increasing business which becomes
vaster and more stupendous year by
year. Two contracting parties make the
markets-buyer and seller. Each must
be protected, while neither one can be
limited more than the other without
narrowing the market. But both must
be governed alike justly, and when any
exchange finds 1t can not control the
conditions, then our association should
lend its influence in a legitimate way to
remedy the evil, and believe we have
now arrived at a point in our existence
where we are equal to just such occas-
ions. If the state laws are not such as
to sustain the exchanges in our large
central markets in making rules where's
by their membership can be governed,
contracts enforced, and the business of
the country as transacted on their floors
be as firm and fixed as those governing
the money of our nation, then we should
see to it that the laws be amended.
The past year has developed in many
wrath and indignation at the
sliding scale methods Of inspection as
in some of our markets, and 1t |
is evident there is just ground to de-
mand practical reform. The inspection
whether state or ex-
change institution, should be conduct
ed strictly under civil service rules and
free from all personal, political and pull
Influences. Fixed and specific grades
should be established Sand maintained
rom year to year. The same standard
should govern and be applied, regard
ess Of price or crop conditions"
The exhibit of grain samples by the
Chief Inspectors association is said to
De the largest ever given and samples
ire shown from almost every market
n this country. Last night the dele
rates to the convention were guests of
he local corn carnival committee and
we're shown over the carnival grounds
md thru the corn palace.
