 Oyster Bay, \. l., Aug. 14.-Revers- ing his big stick-in this case a tennis racket-in token of equalization, Presi- dent Roosevelt stood but did not deliver when a rough riding band held him up for cash. He found him. self in the center of a dozen plunging horses whose riders drew a narrowing circle around him.
 Clouds of dust enveloped him until little except q row of teeth framed by a fearless smile could be seen. w. Emlen Roosevelt his cousin. viewed the proceedings with somewhat of alarm from the opposite side of the tennis net.

 President Roosevelt thrust his hand fin one of his trou.ers pockets with enough energy to have produced at least a yellow back The movement served as a signal to the rough riders. They threw their horses back on their haunches and watched eagerly while the president withdrew his hand. It was empty. He turned the pocket wrong side out to prove that he was on the level. The rough riders shook their heads and Glared threateningly.
 Try the other pocket" was the next command
 The president obeyed. Again his hand came forth empty. He shifted his weight from one foot to the cthss, as if much embarrassed. and began:
 Really haven't a penny. If r.

NEW WEAPON
 FOR OUR NAVY Inventor Davis Explains
 His Torpedo. COULDSINK BIGGEST SHIPS

 Most Effective Projeetile and In the
 Way of Having the Strongest Armor
 In the World" Declares offieer-Wa-
 ter Tight Compartment No Protee-
 ton Against Action of Missile Ex-
 ploding Inside Vessel.
 New York, Aug. 14. - Lieutenant Commander Clelland Davis, U. S. N, explained here his invention of a new torpedo which promises to insure American naval supremacy. From tests made at Fort Strong, Boston, naval experts are satisfied that the new torpedo will be able 10 destroy the largest battleships in the world. They predict that this step in the nev- CT ending battle between armor and projectile will render necessary more armor protection of warships below the water line.
 The manufacture of a new kind of steel, discovered by s. s. Wales of the United States Steel corporation, made the new torpedo possible.
 ''The United States navy is In the position of having the most effective projectile and in the way of having the strongest armor of any navy in the world" said Lieutenant Commander Davis.
 Better Than Old Style Torpedo.
 'The old style torpedo had the disad- vantage of being exploded for good and all when 1t hit the outside of a vessel or hit the torpedo net. Its force was expended largely against the wa- ter. If 1t did succeed in smashing hole in the side of the vessel. at most an outer compartment was opened to the thrush of water. There were stIIl enough compartments intact to keep the vessel afloat. No vital portion of the vessel was injured.
 The experiments at Fort Strong have shown that we can get below the armOr belt and reach the vitals of the ship. They have demonstrated that we can produce an explosion within the ship. Ii will reach the boiler room. the engines. the steering gear or the magazine. It will put the ship out of commission if it does not total ly destroy 1t.

Here they find people. who, for
thousands of years, have lived a

The people of Cincinnati with
their sympathisers all over ohio and
in fact every citizen of the state
who believes in clean government
will have the opportunity in the
coming election to say whether he
is really in earnest or has only been
bluffinIy. Judson Harmon. the Demo-
cratic nominee has given his promise
that If he is elected he will lose no
time in cleaning up the corrupt gov
eminent of that city. 1t will be re-
membered that two attempts have
been made and both have been
blocked by the friends of Cox and
Ia ring of officials. The Drake
committee which was the first to be
named did succeed in getting at
few~of the facts before the did was
clamped down, but it succeeded in
in discovering only enough to know
that there was rotteness in the clty's
affairs and plenty of 1t. Now Judson
Harmon declares he will leave no
stone unturned TO ferment out the
guilty persons and cause their dis
missal or conviction. This in it.
self is enough of an Issue to secure
the support of all persons who love
clean government for what applies
to Cincinnati will likewise apply TO
all other cities.

ed the funeral arrangements with an
injunction handed down by Judge
Hugh Brennan of the district court.
He says his son was a bigamist and
that Mrs. Stein, the young woman
now mourning the death of her
husband, is accused of not being the
legal wife of Morris stein.
"A Des Moines detective will be sent
to Loudonville to gather data.
In connection with the injunction
against the undertaken, Judge Bren-
nan restrained Mrs. Stein from dis
posing of her husbands body and
TIRE writ of Injunction issued against
her as Mary Bayard or alias Mary b..
Stein.
The father urges that at the time
Morris stein is supposed to have
been married TO Mary Bayard he was
in fact married TO Ethel Lempke,
who was then dying in the hospital.
The father says his sons first wife
did not die for thirteen days after he
was supposed to be married to Miss
Bayard.
Stein marrisd Miss Mabel Lempke
who was telephone operator at the
Mutual company at the same time
Miss Bayard was. If Jacob Stein

surance held by her husband going

1t is remarkable and at the same
time very sad that the outrages
which have been committed in
Springfield, Illinois should occur in
the shadow of the house in which
President Lincoln lived when he was
called to the presidency at the time
when the nation was divided, and
one of the points of difference was
the question OF the colored man. In
deed the mob has 30 far forgotten
itself that threats have been made to
apply the torch TO the house. Such
demonstrations indicate that the race
question is no nearer solution
than it was when Lincoln left his
home in Springfield to go to Wash
ington.
