1O5 feet in length, and which, even
upon the surface, can hardly be seen
at all Only four feet of the Octopus
shows above the surface when she il
lying exposed to view.
She has a small coming tower and
a periscope that rises like fiagpole
above the water when the Octopus Is
moving submerged at her usual depth
This periscope enables the crew Of the
submarine to see what is upon the
surface of the sea, even while they are
16 or 20 feet below, and also enables
the pilot to get direction on objects,
just as the compass will guide him for
general direction. 1t is composed of a
set of prisms which can be made to re-
volve by pressing an electric button
BY reflection, the instrument shows
objects on the surface of the sea and
in actual size on the contrivance at
the base of the periscope in the body
Of the submarine.
In the early submarines it was nee
essary for the captain to bring his
vessel to the surface, exposing his
coming tower, whenever he wished to
make an observation, but with the ad
vent of the periscope he navigates his
vessel completely submerged, occa
sionally rising so that the tube
energies but a few feet above the wa
ter, enabling him to observe the de-
sired objects and then submerging
again. Even when running with the
perscope exposed above the surface
it is very difficult to locate it from an
other ship, as its size and appearance
are such as to deceive the observer.
That is where the submarine has an
enormous advantage over the warship
that must remain on the surface. No
projectile will penetrate more than
two feet below the surface, so that so
soon as submarine is submerged
she cannot be hit, even when the top
of her coming tower is showing, for
the coming tower itself is six feet
high on the Octopus.
About the only thing that warship
can do, in fact, when attacked by a
submarine, is to turn tail and run. Ev.
cry modern warship possesses greater
speed than the submarine, so that
should the larger vessel observe the
approach in time, she could keep out
of reach, for the submarine must get
within distance of three-quarters of
a mile or half mile before she can
launch her torpedo But then, the sub
marine can sink, travel for miles be.
low the surface and thus get close to
her quarry without being seen.
Under cover of night this method OF
attack is particularly easy. The huge
bulk OF the warship makes a glazing
target, and no net was ever invented
that would Withstand a torpedo at
tack The torpedo net has been abol-
ished in all the most modern warships
as practically useless.

MANY PRISONERS

City Jail Slightly Relieved of Crowded
Condition by the Liberation of
Twenty=eieht Men New
Years Morning

Twenty prisoners at the city
Jail welcomed New Years day with
fervor yesterday, for besides a chance
to make good resolutions it brought
them liberty, as the Jail doors opened
at sunrise and they were allowed to go
wherever they wished-free men and at
liberty to enjoy life as such.
Eleven of these men were arrested
Monday night or early yesterday morn
ing for drunkenness. The remainder
had served sentences and their time
had either expired or would do so
within a few days. 1t is the custom
of the police to release men arrested
on minor charges each New Years day
in order TO give them a chance to start
life again, and this act of kindness has
frequently been found to work with
good effect.
There ar still III persons in the Jail
serving time on more serious charges,
but these it was found impossible for
the officers to release.

man.
Cook was arrested Monday night,
charged with being drunk. Early yes

pearing wife, appeared at the office of
the desk sergeant and offered to put
up bail for her husbands release. She
was told that he would be released
under 50 bonds and she deposited the
money. An order was then given her
for Cooks release and soon he appeared
at the Jail door.
Il want my property" he said to the
jailer "and l want it quick, and then
turning to his wife he said in rough,
brutal manner:
what are you doing here? What
right have you got taking my money
and giving it to these fellows? Go on
home, where you belong"
The words were barely out of his
mouth when the heavy hand of the
jailer landed on his shoulder and with
out more ado he was thrVYn back into
the Jail, there to mediate on the re-
spect due woman who has assisted
him.

WIFE MURDERER
MEXlCANS THREATEN LIFE OF
ALBITRE
Sheriff Whites Men Will Guard
Against Possible Attack from In=
furated Countrymen of
Slayer at Monrova

A special guard will watch over Adel-
fino Albitre, the wife-slayer of Mon
rovia, when he is taken to that city
today to be eXf mined on the murder
charge.
Albitre was taken to Monrovia the
scene of the crime, on last Friday, and
the date of his examination set. AT
that time 500 men, women and children
surrounded Sheriff White and his cap
tive and members of the crowd cursed
the prisoner as he ShufIled along to-
ward the little city courtroom.
Today there will be but little chance
for any of the Mexican residents of
the town to take liberties with Albitre
Marshal Frank Miller of Monrovia will
take him there and several of his depu-
ties will see that the prisoner is pro-
teCted. During the day Sheriff White
and one or two of his deputies will go
to MonrOvia and testify in the case and
they will form an added guard for him
when he is brought back to the city.
Albitre understands the attitude of
his people toward him for his brutal
murder None better than he knows
the possibilities of a MeXican's rage in
revenge of indignities to their women
and none better than he can guess the
purport of the Spanish oaths hurled
after him upon every appearance on the
streets of MonroVia, no matter how
many officers accompany him.
Yet Albitre has shown no fear. His
only reply to his peoples oaths has
beeen sneer or laugh his only an
swcr to their threats i muttered curse.
When he shot down his wife on the
morning of September 2 and thereby
caused not only her death, but the
death of her infant baby, who died from
lack of attention, he showed the great
est savagery in carrying the bleeding
body about with him. carrying 1t as far
as the railroad track and dropping it
there The MeXicans of Monrovia, and
there are many of them, have not for
gotten that act and they are reserving
their vengeance.
Albitre took to the hills, fighting all
men from him with a saVagry terrible
to see and he escaped for time, Fin
ally he was captured, alive and strong
so that he could fully appreciate the
fate to be meted out to him, but his
spirit remains unbroken and neither the
shadow of death nor fear of his people
has caused him to utter one complaint
Yesterday, however. Albitre's baby
girl Concia Albitre, who held to her
mothers body and screamed While heI
father fred the fatal shots, was taken
from MonroVia by her grandmother.
Albitre's only wish has been that he
could see the baby before his death, ii
such should be his fate, and now even
that consolation has been taken from
him.
