PORTABLE CANNON,
GUN IS INSIDE
OF PROJECTILE

BERLIN, May A Roumanian in
ventor, sara Regozea, has produced a
projectile. the remarkable qualities of
which have enabled him to construct a
field gun weighing only $50 pounds. but
which will carry over three miles.
NJ. Rogozea's idea is that each soldier
can carry one Of these guns, which can
easily be pushed by one man. like a
wheeIbarrow, over the most difficult
ground. So each ordinary foot soldier
would be an artilleryman. with terrible
power over a zone Of over six miles.
The projectile itself is hollow from the
base up, which allows of Il being fixed
TO a steel tube containing the charge
Thus, in reality, it is the cannon which
is placed in the projectile. and it is this
formation which makes the machine so
light Previous experiments on the same
lines neglected two points which NJ. Ro-
gozea has brought to perfection-namely,
that the shell must be hollow up TO the
center Of gravity. and that this center
must occupy a mathematical position
on the length OF the projectile.
A small shell fixed on the cannon can
be sent 500 yeards with charge of one
and a half grammes of powder. and a
larger shell carrying 500 grammes Of
dynamite may be sent with 100 grammes
of powder.
The length Of the shell has an effect
on its velocity. and when all the gas
has escaped and the initial force of the
prOjectile has been spent, the shell falls
vertically. This quality gives it great
value in use on fortifcations.
The German War Office Is seriously
considering the adoption of this terrible
weapon, which it is believed will revo-
iutionize the infantry service.

DEBS DENOUNCED
BY THE PRESIDENT
Letter to Unions Copy Of.
One Written Two
Years Ago.
Labor Considers Itself AT
fronted in the Hay
wood Matter.

Politicians deeply interested in the
Forthcoming Presidential contest are
wondering whether President Roosevelt
has not sent the pitcher Of criticism to
labor's well once too often. in his re-
iterated announcement that Meyer and
Haywood. held for the assassination of
Governor Steunenburg, in Idaho, are
undesirable citizens"
Labor leaders here. who decline to
permit the use. Of their names. declare
LSst seldom in the history of the Gov
s'2ment has LABOR felt so affronted.
Debs Denounced.
At today's meeting in New York of
the Central Federated Union there will
bc read n letter from the President.
which he handed the three representa-
uves Of that organization who called
upon him last week. Although much
secrecy has surrounded the missive. it
is now known TO be a copy of a letter
which President Roosevelt addressed to
the Department OF Justice two years
ago concerning the Idaho case. In 1t
he denounced Eugene Debs and others
who use infammatory language" He
urged the Department TO cooperate
with the State authorities in bringing
the assassins of Governor Steunenburg
TO justice, and declared that IL Meyer,
Haywood. and Pettibone were guilty
they should he punished, but that the
Government should guard against per-
secution.
Labor Leaders Regret.
The President is convinced that or
Eanized labor will eventually vindicate
his action in this case. He shows no in
dication Of modifying his position or his
utterances in any wise. Labor leaders
who are friendly TO the Administration,
however. regret his course.
They say it has greatly aggravated
the sore already caused by the Presi-
dents demand that there shall be no
CLOSED shop" in Government work. This
he did several years ago. In ordering the
reinstatement of a non-uniOn foreman
at the Government Printing Ofice. In
stead of being satisfied merely to up
hold civil service regulations. which
were involved in the trouble. the Presi-
dent. in a characteristic letter. sounded
the death kneu of union labor in Gov
eminent work during his Administra-
ton.
Labor leaders declare that while the
President has benefited organized wage
workers through the enactment Of much
beneficial legislation, he has cost them
many million dollars by his open shop
position.

WOULD PUT OFFICE
ON SALARY BASIS
Judiciary Committee Cut Sher-
ifs Bills for Past Six Months
Nearly $500.

An item Of great interest to the
members of the County Board, and
the people of the county was the report
of the judiciary committee. Ever
since the Board first convened, for the
fall session this committee had been
busy fixing up the bills of the sheriff,
which were considered by that COM
mittee to be exorbiCant and the diff
Guilty was augmented by the charges
not being properly itemized The
total amount of the sheriff'S bills
for the past six months was
S3,353.69. This was greatly in
excess of the amounts charged
by former sheriffs for S i m a r
duties, and the committee cut the
total bills to the extent of St96. %.
One hundred dollars of this amount
was cut from the bin for the western
trip taken by the sheriff and his as.
sistant for the purpose of bringing
back the Cummings brothers from Ta-
coma, Wash. The committee also
reported that hereafter, bills not prop
erly itemized according to law, would
be diSallowed.
Geo. P. Hambrecht, upon the re-
quest of Sheriff J. It. Welch made a
motion that the Board appoint COM
mittee of three members to investi-
gate the advisability of changing the
sheriff's office from the fee system to
the salary basis. This motion was
amended so as to include the Register
OF Deeds office, and with the under
standing that a thorough investiga-
ton be conducted and a report be
made as soon as possible. Chairman
Hooper appointed as such committee
the following: Geo. P. HambrecLt
chairman, E. M, Deming, A. E. Ben

HUMANE LAWS
MUCH NEEDED
"Obs server" Deplores Many Acts
of Cruelty to Animals.

The urgent need for some drastic
measure being adopted and enforced
in behalf of our dumb animals is
more and more evident every day.
One cannot be about town any day
without seeing the most cruel and in
human treatment of horses by their
drivers and it becomes almost un-
bearable Sometimes these monsters
who abuse their horses, do so because
they are drunk and have no senses
and in other instances it is because of
pure meanneSS.
No matter what the cause may be,
there should be some punishment in
flicted on these cowardly brutes who
beat and torture their horses because
they can do so with safety to them
selves.
The writer of this article has oc-
cassion to be about the city every day
and instances of this inhuman treat
ment of horses is seen every day in
UlIC VEAL LII IlulHcIOuS- -OCOdSlOllS IldS
the writer compelled the man who
was maltreating his horse to desist by
threatening to thrash him on the spot
and in other Instances where the
drivers were in the employ of some
one, he has called the attention of the
owner of the horse to the fact but the
cruelty continues nevertheless.
No better law or no better society
could be formed in this city than one
to prevent cruelty to animals and it
is sincerely hoped that this notice
will cause some of the humane men in
our city to take steps at once in this
direction. A line to the REPORTER
office addressed to the "OBsERVE ERR
will secure the cooperation OF the
writer and start the ball rolling for
the most needed action in our city to-
day. Let all who are humane and
who wish to see this mean and wicked
abuse of horses cease take same action
in this matter at once.
