and before approaching Matthews had
been using very offensive and abusive
language to another man who was near
there. This man walked away and
Woods came TO where Matthews was.
and Matthews remarked, that was
pretty rough talk; you will call the
wrong man that some time anu get
into trouble by it. = WOODS ook
otfense at this and began cursing Mat
thews, and the fight followed Mat
thews, though a smaller man than
Wood, seized him with one hand and
struck him with the other and landed
him ON the floor, and in the mix-up
that followed Matthews received from
Woods knife an ugly though NOT
dangerous wound IN the side.
Officer FI1el came upon the scene
about the time the combatants were
separated, and placed them both under
arrest. The next morning Wood was
still in bad, quaJrelsome humor, and
officers tIiel and Morgan Ie-arrested
him and locked him up, on the charge
of disoTdelly conduct.
Wood and Matthews appeared the next
morn ing in the city court, submitted
their cases and were fined.

MAY KEEP SHIPS
ON EVEN KEEL

BERLIN. March 23.-The Hamburg
American line is building new steam
er at the Vulcan works at Stettin which
will be fitted with an invention of Otto
Shyk, an engineer of Hamburg. which
it is expected will reduce the rolling
of vessels at sea to minimum. 1t
consists of massive balance wheel
mounted in such a manner as to
counteract the shifting of the center
of gravity of the ship.
The invention hitherto has been
tested only in connection with models.
but the Hamburg American officials
are so convinced of its utility that they
are advancing money and loaning a
vessel for a trial. which will take place
in June or July. Naval engineers re-
gard the invention as great benefit to
warships as 1t adds to the stability of
gun platforms.
