SHIP BORED BY DIVER
ATTEMPT TO RUIN BATTLEShiP
MADE FROM OUTSIDE.
Alleged Machinist Elected from Brook.
lynn Navy Yard for Acting in Sus-
picious Manner-F1oods Devastate
Roswell, n. NJ, but No Lives Lost.

That the latest attempt TO inJure or
destroy the battleship Connecticut was,
according to the New York Herald. made
from the outside has been established to
the satisfaction of the officials at the
navy yard. 1t is believed that the hole
which resulted in flooding one of the
water-tight compartments of the ship
was bored by a diver. This narroWs
the field of investigation. Following
closely upon the order issued by the re-
firing commandment, Rear Admiral Fred
erick Rodgers calling on the patriotism
of the employees to protect the ConnGct-
cut, man who said he had been
wOrkmen in the yard was arrested. Ihe
arrest caused unusual excitement and
threats of summary punishment were
made, although later it was found that
the affair was unimpOrtant. Acting IN
a suspicious manner the man first seen
by the marine guard endeavOring to pass
out without being noticed. Because Of
this the corporal of the guard at once
placed him under arrest and brought him
before Capt. Hemphill. Severe ques-
tioning brought the statement that his
name was William Carey, 30 years old,
and that he had been a machiniSt in the
yard and employed on the battleShip In
diana for the last eight months. He gave
the name of his foreman, but the latter
could not identify him and the man was
elected unceremoniously from the yard.

AID FOR DRUNKARDS.
Sa1vatiOnists Have a Novel Plan foI
Regeneration in Chicago.


Regeneration in Chicago.
Drunkards are to receive in Chicago
this winter degree of care and atten-
ton never bestowed on them since dip
somania overlook the descendants of the
occupants of Eden's garden. A ''stretch-
er corps" is being organized by the Sal
walton army for relief work among the
victims of strong drink. Before the frost
has scared the autumn leaves the work
will be fully organized and in full blast.
The gutter soaks'' will have found a
friend. They will be picked up in the
night, when irresponsible and not able
to care for themselves, and in the morn
ing instead of receiving a S. fine-to be
worked out in the bridewell- will
be given five-minute lectures on the evils
OF conference.-the lecturers being the
Salvation army officers who found them
intoxicated the previous evening and plac-
ed them in free beds where they might
sober up.
Equipped with streachers the squads
of officers constituting the drunkards'
rescuers will make the rounds of the
squalid districts of the city at night,
pick up those who appear to be complete
~ overcome with liquor and carry them
to one of the seven hotels maintained by
the Salvation army in Chicago and in
which more than 100000 guests were
accommodated last year.
In every hotel or home maintained by
the Salvation army a number of rooms
will be set aside for the special purpose
of accommodating the inebriated persons
who may be brought in by the stretcher
corps in the night. After they have re-
vived their names and addresses will be
taken. If they have homes and are
susceptible of influence and approach, an
acquaintance will be formed and social
visits made at their residences. In this
way the nucleus will be laid for further
work, which, the army authorities be-
ieve, will ripen into an effective scheme
of reform.
