WALKS ON BOTTOM.
Of DEEP LAKE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

ROCHESTER,, N Y. July ia sub
marine contrivance. which permits a
person to walk under water, has been
invented by R. P. Lawton of Genesee.
Already he has given two demonstra-
tions of its power. Once he remained
under water an hour. the other time
forty-nve minutes.
Lawton's experiments were made at
Silver Lake yesterday. Clad in bath
ing suit, he walked out, holding aloft
fish pole, to the top of which was
attached a flag. He had remarked
to some boys on shore that he was go-
ing for a walk on the lake
When the nag was about forty feet
from the shore it suddenly disappeared
below the water. The boys waited
for Lawton to reappear and when he
did not do so they gave an alarm.
Lawton reappeared soon afterward
and explained his ability to walk under
water. The crowd was skeptical, so
Lawton climbed into his bathing suit
again and gave another exhibition. He
remained under water this time forty
five minutes.
: He will allow no one to see his con-
trivance. He says 1t is of simplest
kind and weighs little more than a
pound.

DID DIAMOND KING
LEAVE A WIFE?
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, July 1s-A hidden ro-
nance in the life of Alfred Belt, the
British multi-millionaire whose death
was recorded in London on Monday,
was revealed today when 1t was found
that in his application for life insur-
ance policy in the Equitable. made in
1888, Belt declared his intention of mar
rying Elizabeth Bennett. and that the
policy subsequently issued was made
payable to my wife, Elizabeth Ben
nett Beit.'
At the time of the medical examina-
tion by the company's physicians, how
ever. Belt is said to have declared HIM
self unmarried.
Many reports were published from
time to time of his engagement to this
or that woman, but the name Of Eliza
beth Bennett was never mentioned.
Who she may be and when the African
multi millionaire married her are ques-
tions that remain unanswered.
Why he told the physician who ex-
amined him as to his eligibility for life
insurance that he was single and then
had the policy made payable to my
wife, Elizabeth Bennett Beit." is puz-
zle that only the will of the dead man
or the testimony of the woman herself
can solve.
Belt died avowedly bachelor.
LONDON, July 1S.-Those who are
really in position to give authorita-
tive information regarding the fortune
os the late Alfred Belt. the South Afri-
car financier. and the terms Of his will,
have not yet given 1t TO the newspapers
Estimates ranging frsm $125,000.00 u
$625, 900. 000xhave been published, but it
probably will be found when the terms
of the Will are given out that Belts
fortune was somewhat below $780,
100000.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
VALLEJO, July 1sY-As result of
two women of questionable repute hav-
ing been entertained for three days and
three nights on board the old receiv-
ing ship Independence by Lieutenant
Edward H. Dunn, while he was tenn
porarily in command of the vessel, the
latter is in danger of being charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer and
tried by naval court. The disturb
ance caused by the merry making came
suddenly to an end by the unexpected
return today of Captain Giles B. Har-
bar. who caused the women to be car
ried by force from the vessel. much
against their will.
All of Vallejo and the naval colony
is stirred by the. disgraceful event that
has taken place on vessel honored
for nearly 100 years by the American
flag. SINCE the affair came to an end
Dunn has remained in his quarters and
has nothing to say in explanation of
his conduct.
When Captain Harbar departed last
week for an outing in the Napa Valley,
Dunn was left in charge of the ship.
No sooner had the commander of the
vessel departed than two Vallejo
women of questionable repute were
taken on board and entertained in a
hilarious manner. Champagne and
other intoxicating liquors were used
to make the occasion one of noise and
riot.
The affair attracted the attention Of
people who went near the ship, and
at last word was quietly sent to Captain
Harbar that things on the vessel were
not being conducted on the line of a
Sunday school. Harbar's return today
was not welcomed by the women
guests who had been enjoying the hos
pitality Of the ship in his absence,
and when he demanded that they leave
the ship the refused to do so.
Captain H Lrbar summoned four big
sailors and ordered them to carry the
visitors down the gangplank to the
ships launch and land them at Vallejo
with screams and vile language the
women were taken away. and the hon.
ored old vessel resumed it's former
peacefuIness.

TERRIFIC explosion OF dyna-
N mite. which was placed Just
L y where it would create the

wrecked the engine room and hoisting
plant at the quarry of the Berkeley
Rock Company at Broadway and Sec
one avenue, in Oakland, yesterday af-
ternoon and so seriously injured Fred
erick Hoffman. the superintendent Of
the quarry. that il is feared he cannot
recover Holman was hurled out Of
the engine room by the concussion and
the building which housed the ma
chinery Of the quarry was demolished.
Who the person is that attempted to
destroy the plant and to take human
life in ruthless fashion the proprietors
or the company do not know. Joseph
Rosenberg, the president and general
manager OF the company. declares that
he believes the dynamiting to have
been the work either Of some one inter
ested in seeing the company forced to
discontinue work or OF some discharged
employe. Rosenberg says. however,
that he has absolutely no idea as to
the identity OF the guilty person.
The explosion occurred Immediately
after the noon hour. Hoffman entered
the engine room to start the hosting
engine as the quarrymen were about to
resume work. and q moment later there
was deafening explosion. the concus
sion being so heavy that men at work
several hundred feet from the building
were thrown from their feet. A rush
was made for the engine room and on
reaching the building the workmen
found the superintendent lying sense
less on the ground.
Had il not been for the fact that
Hoffman was on the side OF the engine
away from where the dynamite had
been placed he would have been in
stantly killed. as the other side Of the
engine was shattered. AS it was he
was hurled out Of the room and was
struck on the body by numerous pieces
OF the wrecked engine, one piece of
Jagged iron striking him on the leg
near the ankle ard cutting the flesh to
the bone.
Hoffman was at once taken to his
home. which is but short distance
from the quarry, and DR.. D. D. Crowley
was summoned to attend him. After
dressing the wounds OF the injured
man. who was suffering great pain. DR..
Crowley informed Rosenberg. who had
been hastily summoned to the quarry,
that the superintendent had been in
5ured internally Just how serious the
injuries are the physician is unable at
this time to state.
An examination OF the wrecked en-
Eine proved that the dynamite had been
placed in a part Of the machinery
where 1t would be exploded at the first
turn Of the wheels. There is not the
slightest doubt, according to Rosen-
berg. that the deadly dynamite was set
during the noon hour while the super
intendent and all the quarrymen were
at lunch.
1t was also found that the heavy ca
bic used to haul cars from the quarry
70 the crusher was broken.
