CAREFULLY GUARDS
 HER NAVAL PLANS
Great Britain Maintains Great
 est Secrecy in Her Yards
NEW SHIP IS A MYSTERY
Naval Attaches Can Learn Nothing of the omitable-Secrecy Sur rounds Improvement
 in Guns.

London, April 6.-rhe naval officers att tached to the embassies and legations ac- credited to the court of St. James have found the difficulties in obtaining infor nation with regard to Great Britain's naval plans growing greater until they have reached point where it is next to impossible to penetrate the veil of secrecy maintained at the navy yards in this country.
 When the batteshp Dreadnought was launched, the naval attaches did not de- ser. be her construction. A second and mora successful attempt at secrecy is to be made with the cruisere Invincible. InhexiA1e and Indomitable. The first two vessels are now under construction and the lattea was launched recently.
 As is customary on such occasions all the naval attaches were invited to the launching. They attended expecting that during the morning before the general public arrived they would be given an opportunity to look over the ship. But this was not to be, for Great Britain's policy had changed. {The attaches were placed under the guidance of an officer who kept them busily engaged inspecting the boiler shop while they were all eager to suggest visiting the lndomitable before the hour for the launching. They did reach the ship in time to be present at the baptisnal ceremony and see the Ves- sel slide Into the water, but with this eX- ception everything remained,a government secret Ordinarily the spaces in which the armor is to be placed are left vacant at the launching, and 1t has been possible for experts easily to judge the thickness of the plates to be inserted, but in the Indomtable these spaces were filled with planking so there was no means of even guessing at the thickness of the armor.
 The attaches say they have learned nothing regarding this ship, but in order to make doubly certain that no informa- ton regarding the new navy reaches for eign powers the admiralty has issued or ders that henceforth the same secrecy be alantained regarding all new ships and that the staff entrusted with the carrying out of the details of construction be placed upon oath to divulge nothing re- specting the plans
 The same secrecy surrounds the inn provement in naval guns which Sir Percy Scott, the gunnery expert, has perfected and is now installing on the Mediter- ranean fleet. This service, it is said, greatly increases the capacity of the guns.

25 DEATHS RESULT
 PROM THE TORNADO
LESS THAN HALF KILLED IN ALA. BAMA, LOUISIANA AND LOUIS LANA WHITE PERsoNs-ExPERi- ENCE IN A BOAT.

New Orleans, April 6-F'ully twenty-five deaths and more than twice as many seriously injured resulted from yester- days tornado through Louisiana, Mis- sissippi and Alabama. Less than half of those killed were white persons. Among the last bodies found were those of a man and a woman in trees at Alexan- dria, La.
 The experience of being caught by the tornado in the middle of the Mississippi river on a stern wheel packet, Is described by Louis Knopp, who was aboard the Betsy Ann.
 ''The smokestack and stage plank were blown away in a jiffy," said Mir Knopp, and the boat began tossing from side to side like cradle. I'm a pretty strong man, but the wind was so terrific at one time that it was all I could do to keep hold on the railing of the boat. At the same time l was lodging flying timbers ana broken glass. The pilot turned the boats bow toward the bank and man. aged to drive her nose into the levee, but by this time the upper works of the steamer were barely able to stand alone"
 Three women passengers were safely landed on the levee with the aid of a skiff.

SAID TO BE
 FINE SPEAKER
Col, Dillingham; Noted for Bril-
 fancy of HiS>AddreSS
URGED TO ENTERePOLITICS
Will Be Here This Week With Large company-consyessman
 GregsaT aJks.

Col F. A. Dillingham;, owner of the Plant Juice" and Quaker R emedles, who is to arrive in this city tlSe k utter part of this week with his several com panies, and who is to spend a month deIh onstratlns his attractive ideas of advertlsinG here, Is noted for his eloquence as a spesA <er. The wonderful power he possesses Of >holdlng a large audience spellbound night after night for six months of the year has done more to earn for him the title ot "The Great Advertiser than anythl nS else. He is what might be called a nAt ural orator. From the moment he ap' pears before the audience until his ad-' dress is finished, he commands the most perfect attention, and gaining in the first few moments complete control over the minds of the people before him, seems to fairly hold them in the hollow of his hand by his masterly flow of oratory.
 Several of Colonel Dillinghams friends and many of the politicians who have heard him speak have urged his entering the political arena, claiming that he owed it to his party and to himself to use his great gift in campaign work. maintaining that his rise politically would be phe- nomenal should he once undertake polit ical speaking. The colonel however, re- fused absolutely to adopt the sugges tion, his one argument being that he is not interested in politics, that he is in- IelCSteu In ms own DuSlleSS dllu HIS du- vertising methods. He also says he likes to mingle and come in contact with the great mass of working people at large, that his present methods allow him this priv ilege, while political work would not.
 Congressman Griggs of Georgia, upon hearing Colonel Dillingham; speak for the first time, said: 'If I had that mans won- derful power of drawing an audience and perfect ease while speaking, there would be no office in this country to which l would not aspire. I consider him second to no one l have heard as a natural ora tor, and I have listened to the greatest speakers" When Colonel Dillingham; be- gins his lectures in Birmingham and dis trict which will be given every evening, and which are free to all, the people of this city will have an opportunity of judging for themselves whether he Is really as great an orator as has been claimed for him.

 Festival Held In the
 South.
COMMENDS ORGANIZATION

Charleston S. G., April 6.-President E. H. Jahnz of the National Schuetzenbund, which will hold it's fifth tri-ennial na- tional shooting festival in this city May 6 to May IA, has received a letter from President Roosevelt commenting the pur- poses of the organization and the services it Is doing for the country in raising the standard of craftsmanship among citi- zens. The Presidents letter is as fol- lows:
 'The White House, Washington, D. c. My Dear Sir-I wish you hearty good luck in what you are doing for rifle shoot Ing. The National Schuetzenbund can perform a real service to the United States by working in the future as in the past for the promotion of marksmanship. Our countrymen has regular army of such small size Ghough I may say in passing, of such trained efficiency as to be one of the best national assets) that in the event of war the great bulk of our forces will have to consist of volunteers. Accordingly 1t is of prime importance that there should be a thorough familiar ity with the use of the rifle among those of our people from whom the ranks of the volunteers would in time of war natur- ally be filled.
 
 of craftsmanship among our people and in popularizing rifle shooting the Shuet- zenbund Is performing a great service for which the country Is debtor. Sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 The President will fire the first shot at the festival, discharging a rife, carefully sighted and secured in position, by elec- trlcity connection leading direct from the White House to the target box at the Schuetzenbund at Charleston. The Presi- dent was invited to attend the festival in person but his engagements would not permit him to accept
 Baron Speek von Sternburg German ambassador at Washington, is expect ed at the festival as the representative of Emperor William. Consul General Karl Buenz, at New York, has also promised to attend, and other distin- guished visitors are expected.
 First In South.
 This will be the first national shoot ing festival of the association which has ever been held in the south. The determination to hold the festival in Charleston was made in 1904 at the triennial meet in New York upon the invitation of the German Rife club of Charleston, which is the oldest organi zation of it's kind in the United States, having celebrated two years ago its golden jubilee on the fiftieth anniver- sary of it's establishment
 The German emperor, William II, is an honorary member of the Charleston club, this being the only association In the Unite5 States in which he has accepted such membership. He was elected in place of his grandfather, the first emperor. who was elected shortly after his proclamation as head of the German empire. The club has six French rifles which were presented by the old emperor trophies of war cap tured in the Franco Prussan conflict. These rifles will be exhibited in the grand parade with which the fest will be opened.
