BOASTS OF HIS EXPLOITS
AND SEEMS PROUD OF HIS IN.
cENRIARY ACTS.
Ludwig, Charged With Starting Q
Score Of Fires, Gives All
the Details.

New York, Oct. 2S.--John Ludwig,
the self.confessed Brooklyn firebug,
against whom there are charged more
than 20 fires and who Is now In Ray.
mond street Jail, Brooklyn, will be ex-
amined to determine his sanity From
a superficial examination he presents
to alienists perfectly developed case
OF pyromania. With his pockets stuffed
with pictures Of fires cut from the
magazines he discussed some Of his
exploits and seemed proud of them.
Ludwig says that he Is 2S years old.
In appearance he Is at least 35. He
is a blond with a subdued expression.
His eyes are full, except when ne Is
speaking OF fire. Then they shine.
IL don't remember my first fire," he
said. my first series were set during
a time I was out Of work. | don't
know what made me start these fires.
| can't explain 1t, only there seemed
something IN me that compelled me
to do It. They can lock me up for 40
years and theo II get out It would be
the same. I'd have to set fire to some
thing. I ought to be treated for 1t.
I am not insane. can talk to you In
telligently enough, as / am doing; but
there's something wrong with me-
After had started making fires
I was obliged to do something for a
living. So I began to go into unoccu'
pied houses-these houses are usually
unlocked In Brooklyn during the day;
never set a fire at highland un'
screw faucets and steam radiator
valves, which I would sell. At 5 o'clock
In tho afternoon, the hour at which !

my trade, would be with my wife
and family. But that wasn't the reason
| set FIRE to the houses. Except In a
few cases took care that nobody
would he injured and that very little
damage would be done.
Among the early series Of fires that
started was one In 159 Lenerts street.
I started It in the earret with some
paper and rubbish and then ran
around to. an engine house In the
neigbborhood and told them that there
was fire In the vicinity. came back
with the engine. I never saw hremen
90 puzzled. There was nothing In the
house but smoke. They couldn't find
the fire. Finally was obliged to show
1t to them. l went upstairs and then
called down to them that II was In the
garnet.
But that fire in 37th street was a
good one. l started 1t In the middle
of thre houses In the attic. The
house was unoccupied. Then after look
ing at 1t for while, as was usual with
me, went to the nearest box and sent
In the alarm. Well, that time the fire

NAVY NEEDS MORE
MONEY next Year
CABINET CONSIDERS SECRETARY
METcALF's ESTIMATES
OF EXPENSES.
Canal Locks Discussed-soms Naval
Officers Think Them Too Narrow
Congress May Be Asked for Three
New Battleshlps.

Washington, Oct. 26.--Naval matters
occupied the attention Of the cabinet
during considerable part Of Fridays
meeting. Secretary Metcalf has Just
completed the compilation Of the esti-
mates for the maintenance Of the
naval establishment, and as these
show a great increase as compared
with the current fiscal year, thereby
promising to cause much debate In
congress at the approaching session.
the president and the secretary Of the
navy are giving their most earnest at
tention to them.
The secretary advanced a propcsi-
ton TO increase by $5,000.000 the
standing appropriation for the pay
ment of enlisted men In the navy. Ac-
cording TO his estimate, this Increase
would admit of the recruitment Of
about 1000 blue jackets In addition
to the present force. The proposition
was received with favor and will be-
included In the estimates to be sub
mitted to congress.
WIdsr Locks for the Canal.
Another matter, not entirely navail
In character but deemed worthy Of res
port by Secretary Metealf because Of
its influence upon the character or
naval vessels to be- constructed In the
future, was, the recommendation Of the
isthmian canal commission, brought to
Washington a few days ago by Civil
Engineer Rnsseau, looking To the
widening OF the locAH Of the Panama
canal. and this subjcct VIE discussed
at some length.
Some naval officerT,. whose views
were reflected by Secretary Metcaf,
held that a width Of LOO net IN the
locks would be quite sufficient 10 meet
all naval needs Within the next half
century, but 1t appeared. that another
element believes that che locks would
prove too narrow In ths course Of ten
years. The president decided to
await a detailed report from the canal
commission upon this important SUBJ
iect.
May Ask Three BattlsshLps.
Secretary MetcaIf also has before
rim the report of the naval general
board, headed by Admiral Dewey,
upon the new construction required to
meet the plans Of the board. and this
vas touched upon incident to- the con-
sJruction of the width Of the canal
locks.
1t is pointed cut that: by reason OF
the fact that he last year expressed
The opinion that one new ship would
je all that should necessarily be au'
thorized at this congress, the prest-
i,ent has somewhat embarrassed him
self, but as several of the battleships
xhich were last Year supposed to DC
perfectly serviceable have since rather
unexpectedly been shown to be of oh
solete type. It is not apprehended that
the president will have any difficulty
in explaining to congress- the naces
sity for amending the original esti
mate, for 1t is now quite certain thai
no less than two and probably three
battleships Of the first order will bt
recommended in ths estimates.

SALE IS ESTABLISHED
BEYOND ANY DOUBT
Wright Brothers Dispose of
Air Ship to France.
ARE WAYNE COUNTY BOYS.

Dayton, o., July 20-The fact that
Orville and Wilbur Wright, formerly
Of Wayne county, Ind. have finally
triumphed and have sold their aero
plane, the Wright Flyer. to the French
government, seems to have been es.
tablished beyond a doubt. despite the
fact that they refuse to either deny or
affirm when questioned regarding the
sale.
The machine has been guarded from
a curious public for some months
here. 1t was last evening placed in
the care of the Adams Express com
pany for transmission to New York,
when it will be sent to Paris. With
those who have been in sufficient
close relationship with the Wrights, to
comprehend how sacredly they have
guarded their treasure, the fact that
they have consented to send it to the
French capital is a guarantee of the
fruthfulness of the rumor that it is a
success.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
STRONGLY CENSURED
Indiana Editors Hear Criticism
AT Their Banquet.
MIX TRUTH AND ERROR.

French Lick, Ind, July 20-Strong
criticism of recent Democratic plat
forms marked the address of A. B..
Champion of Delphi. delivered at the
big banquet of the Democratic editors
of the state at French Lick Hotel last
night, attended by more than 300, in
Guiding all the party leaders.
Mr.. Champion came out in the open
and spoke his mind. His subject was
Present Conditions of the Democratic
Party" and he did not hesitate TO vivi-
sect some of the Democratic policy
which has been advanced in recent
years
'Piebald affairs with political error
and political truth so intermingled
that it is difficult to separate the one
from the other was the rather unus-
ual way in which Mr.. Champion char
acterized the late national platforms
of the party. He made plea for the
good old Jeffersonian principles and
said that he regretted greatly that the
party In its struggle for popularity
had lost sight of these principles.

NAVAL BOARD FINDS
CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
''DeIayed Flare Back" Cost
The Loss of Life on Bat
tieship Georgia.
SENSE OF RELIEF is FELT.
THIS is BECAUSE, 1T is STATED,
THERE WAS NO NEW ELEMENT
OF DANGER AS HAD BEEN
FEARED.

Washington, July 2O-By process
of elimination the naval board, which
has been investigating the accident
whereby the men in the turrent of the
battleship Georgia lost their lives. has
arrived at the conclusion that de
layed bareback caused this catastro-
phe. In one sense the verdict is re-
ceived with a distinct sense of relief by
naval officers, because it showed that
they had no new element of danger to
contend with.
They had experienced "flarebacks"
before and thought that they knew
how to deal with them. A delayed
bareback is caused by closing off too
soon the blast of compressed air which
is supposed to expel from the bore OF
the gun unburnt gases and fragments
of smoldering powder covering what
might be left from the last discharge.

GRAVES VERY DOUBTFUL
w. ]. Bryan May Not Be Most
Available Man.

Kokomo, Ind. July 2o.-John Temple
Graves, the distinguished Southerner,
who was heard at the chautauqua here
Friday afternoon. expressed himself at
the close of his lecture as being very
very doubtful of the availability Of w.
J. Bryan as the democratic candidate
for the presidency. He also called
Marse Watterson brilliant old gossip.
Mr.. Graves made his point very EN-.
phatic that Mr.. Bryans election would
be the fondest desire of his heart. but
it was an open question if that would
be possible.
