ON THE LUSITANIA
P. 0. Knight of This City Mei
 With an Accident.

Among the passengers that came over on the Lusitania were P. O. Knight and Truman s. Lewis of this city. The men went over on the new ship and intended to stay in Europe until the latter part of next month, but an accident to MT Knight hurried their return. It was near the end of going over trip that MT Knight was badly injured. A day before the ship was to reach port MT Knight while taking bath in a DOT. celain bath tub slipped and fell with such force that two of his ribs were badly crushed and he was otherwise injured. His injuries were dressed immediately, but he was later taken to a physician in London, where he was advised to return. The Water bury men stayed in London until the Lusitania started back. Although MT Knight was compelled to sit in a chair, being unable to lie down be- cause of his injuries, on the return voyage, nevertheless the trip was en. joyable, at least as enjoyable as could be under the circumstances, The passengers were much interest," ed in the run of the ship and on the day that it made 617 miles there was considerable enthusiasm. MT Knight although improving is still far from well.

SHOT HIS WIFE
Charles ReiSeI's Gun Went Off
 Accidentally This Morning.

Charles Reisel of Town Plot shot his wife in the right leg this morning filling the lower part of the limb with buckshot which caused a very severe wound. It was an accident, indirect ly caused by rabbits which have been feeding on his cabbage patch. This morning about o'clock MT and Mrs Relsel went to their garden, the form CT armed with his shot gun, which was loaded to the muzzle. He in- tended to drop a few rabbits as he mas lost patience with the animals which have been nibbling his cab pages. But Reisel's gun had no pro- lection for the trigger. His wife was walking along a few feet in front of Relsel when the gun accidentally brushed against Reisels leg in some manner so as to cause it to go off. The contents of the barrel buried it. self in Mrs Reisel's leg. She fell to the ground with moan. Dr George w. Russell was called and found the woman suffering from a very severe wound. Reisel although overcome by the accident was thankful that his wife had such a fortunate escape. In all probability had the gun been pointed little higher the charge would have entered the woman's back and because of such a close range would have undoubtedly re- suited fatally.

Laws by Which tho Sale of Intoxieants

Laws by Which the Sale of lntoxicants
 Is Controlled.
 The Samlag system in Norway gives power to municipalities to grant all the retail spirit licenses which 1t deems necessary to a company which would bind itself to carry on the traffic in the interests of the community, with 8 fixed annual return of not more than . per cent on its paid up capital. In establishing the system the question of compensation does not appear to have presented much difficulty. When the Samlag was introduced two kinds of licenses were in existence-frst, those granted annually or for a term not exceeding five years, and, second, privileged licenses, granted for the life of the licensee. In the case of the first no compensation whatever was paid to those dispossessed of their licenses. In regard to the latter compensation was granted in the form of an annuity equal to the average yearly profits for the three years preceding the suppress sion of the license.
 With these provisions the aims and principles of the Samlag are summa- Iized as follows: The elimination of private profit and securing the monop- oly value for the public, insuring high est quality of liquors sold. the reduc- tion of the number of licenses. the easy enforcement of the law. the de- struction of the power of the spirit trade and the furtherance of all pro- gresSive measures of reform. - New York Herald.

A FLOATING SNAIL.
Peculiar Ways of This Wonderful Lit.
 tie Creature.

Peculiar Ways of This Wonderful Lit.
 tie Creature.
 There is a small snail which is Sd fond of the sea that it never comes to land, and it builds such a capital boat for itself and its eggs that while large ships are sinking and steamers are un, able to face the storm it losses about in perfect safety.
 The little snail is of a violet color and is therefore called ianthina. II has small shell, and there projects from the upper part of the body long, tonguelike piece of flesh. This is the raft, and it is built upon most scien. tific principles, for it has compart. ments in it for air. It is broad and the air compartments are underneath, so that it cannot capsize.
 Moreover, the snail knows how to stow away it's cargo, for the oldest eggs and those which hatch the soon. est are placed in the center and the lightest and newest on the sides of the raft. The ianthina fills its own air compartments by getting a globule of air underneath its head. The body is then curved downward beneath the raft, and, the head being tilted on one side, the air rushes up and fills the spaces. It feeds on beautiful little jellyfish, which has a flat, raftlike form with a pretty little sail upon it, and they congregate in multitudea when the sea is calm.
 Sometimes specimens are washed upon the northwestern coast of France, and when they are handled they give out violet dye.

Without a Repair Ship.

At present the navy is without a re- pair ship built as such. but the auxiI- iaTy cruiser Panther is being convert ed into one for the cruise of the Atlan- tic fleet to the Pacific.
 This cruise has strikingly emphasized the poverty Of the navy in cOlliers. For the fuel supply of the feet it has been necessary to resort to foreign bottoms. It has been suggested that the working force at eastern navy yards. who will miss the ships of the Atlantic fleet. which annually require large repairs. might prOfitably be employed in build ing cOllierS.

FOUR MORE WARSH|PS
General Board of Navy Recom-
 mends Increase of Fighters.
ASKS FOR ADDITIONAL SCOUTS
Would Also Have Six Torpedo Boat Destroyers and Four Submarines. Voyage to Pacific Reveals Need of Golfers and Repair Ship.

Washington, Oct. 12. - Recognizing the diplomatic as well as the tactical arguments in favor of the rapid up building of the navy, the general board, of which Admiral Dewey is the presi- dent, has made liberal recommends gress at it's next session.
 Four battleships are the backbone of the recommendation, and the boards memorandum calls for the most power full of this type yet projected, which in the American navy is the Della ware class, with it's single caliber bat tery, high speed and great steaming radius. Six torpedo boat destroyers, three scout cruisers, four submarines, one repair ship and several cOlliers complete the recommendations.
 While keeping in mind the limits which national policy places upon na- val expenditures, the general board, as rule, gives merely its profession al opinion of the needs of the service, leaving details of construction largely to the bureaus of the navy department, which are responsible for the building of vessels under contract. For this reason it will not be possible until the naval board on construction has com mented on the recommendations to state the characteristics of the new ships desired. The secretary of the navy and the president will decide what congress shall be asked to au- thorize.
 Needed For Protection.
 The general board has been mindful in drafting this recommendation of its official report, rendered several years ago, that adequate protection of the coasts and commerce of the United States required navy based upon an effective fleet of forty eight battle ships, twenty-four armored cruisers, forty eight torpedo boat destroyers and forty-eight scouts, with other war craft and auXiliaries in due proportion. The recommendations this year are pitch ed upon scale which would bring the navy to the desired battleship strength in seven or eight years, allowing for a certain measure of deterioration in ships already built
 The year the general board outlined its views as to a naval programme congress authorized the construction of five new battleships. For the last two years only one has been authoriz- ed at each session of congress. This was largely due to President Roose- velt's agreement with Senator Hale, chairman of the senate military affairs committee, that one new battleship a year was a sufficient increase. That understanding has been thrown to the winds since the president has recog- nized the commanding necessity for sending a large naval force to the Pa cific and has seen how the movement denudes the Atlantic coast of its heavy protection.

For Protection of Coasts.


 President Roosevelt's recommenda- tions to congress will recognize the ne- cessity of having navy large enough for the protection of both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts To bring the fleet to this stage will require liberal appro- priations from congress. The amount of the annual naval appropriation bills for the last four years has been around the $10O,000,000 mark.
 The United States navy now consists of twenty-nine battleships built. build ing and authorized This does not in clude the battleship Texas. now ranked as obsolete. but does include the In. diana class, some of which are being rebuilt. and the Iowa. which is in re- serve. If the four ships recommended by the general board are authorized the total will be thirty y-three battle ships Seven are still on the builders stocks.
 There are nine armOred cruisers ei- ther in service or undergoing repairs. and three are under construction. The three scout cruisers-the Chester. the Birmingham and the Salem-the onl. ones of their type projected in the American navy. are nearly completed. and if the recommendations of the gen eral board stand their number will be raised to seven. while the total of tor. pedo boat destroyers will advance from twenty-six to thirty-two and that of submarines to twenty-four.
