elected governor of North Dakota. =
The launching of the North Dakota
means the introduction of a new type
of warship in the American navy. She
will be the first American all-big-gu
battleship or real Dreadnought to fly
the stars and stripes.
The North Dakota, which is similar
in all respects to the Delaware, which
is under construction at Newport
News, Va, will have a long forecastie
deck extending from the bow almost
to the center of the ship. The ten
twelve-inch guns are, arranged in five
turrets, two to a turret, the forward
turret being so located that the axes
of it's guns are twenty-four feet above
the water line, and just abaft the tur-
ret is another, the barbette of which
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1908-11-10

is of sufficient height for it's guns to
clear the roof of the forward turret.
Abaft the break of the forecastle
deck and also situated on the axis of
the ship are two more twelve-incE
gun turrets, the guns Of the forward
turret in this pair firing over the roof
Of the after turret. Abaft and near
the stern is the fifth and last Of the
big turrets. Naval men declare that
no navy in the world possesses a ship
of the Dreadnought type in which the
guns are better arranged.
For repelltng torpedo attack the
North Dakota will carry a secondary
battery of fourteen fve-inch guns.
These guns are all mounted broad
side. The vessel will be driven by
turbines and is expected to attain a
maximum speed in excess of II knots
an hour.

The Bottle Disappears.

Some more evidence that might
have assisted Prof. Taylor in his
prosecution would have been the pro-
ducing of the bottle in court. But
this could not be done as after the
boy would bring the bottles out of
each place, Prof. Taylor marked it to
show which nlace it came from and
saved it to produce it as evidence,
but the first night the case was set
for trial, Prof. Taylor brought the
bottles to the police court room and
the trial was postponed. Prof. Tay-
lOr left the bottles in the court room
but they disappeared and therefore
could not be produced.

But One Case Tried.

But one case of the seven was tried
Monday night. The same decision
would have applied to all six others
but the prosecuting attorneys asked
for time until Thursday night so that
they may have an opportunity to look
up some authority ON some similar
cases that might be contrary to Judge
Pendleton's ruling in the matter. If
some further evidence is not nro-
duced, the same ruling will be applied
to all the other six cases.
Nearly every attorney in the city
is employed either on one side or the
other, as each of the saloon men have
a separate attorney. Mr.. Stephen T..

not see the boy enter the saloon or
come out: but that the boy gave him
the beer and said that he got it at

Green was then asked if he could
identify the one who sold him the
beer and said he did not know. Mr..
Porter, the proprietor of the place,
was then pointed out to him and be
said positively that he was not the
one, that the man who waited on him

Claimed Right to Jury.

Thus was raised the question as to
the status of the zone in criminal pro
ceedings. 1t was contended on behalf
Of Coulson that Zone belongs to
the United States and that as the
territory is part of this country the
government and he citizens are both
under the authority of the COnstitu-
ton with their respective rights de-
fined.
Hence it was argued that the Fed
eral government can exercise no pow
er over the personal liberty or prop
erty of an individual beyond what
the Constitution confers, nor deny
any rights which the Constitution re-
serves, including that of a jury trial.

NoN-pARTIsAN ELECTIONS.

The city of Grand Rapids, Mich,
has experimental with non-partisaii
elections of library commissioners anu
members of the board OF educauoh'
with so satisfactory results that inc
citizens there have decided 10 Apply
that method to the election or other
city officials.
According to an interesting article
in Municipal Engineering Magazine
the charter OF the city of Grand Rapids
contains provisions for advisory init
alive; optional referendum on oral
nances and franchises and charter
amendment. Under these provisions
committee was formed to drait
charter amendment providing system
OF non-partlsan municipal elections
This system provides for a primary
election at which any one ming the
required petition can secure admission
of his name to the ticket which has
no party names or designations. The
two names receiving the highest NUM-
bers of votes for an office become the
candidates for that office. to be voted
upon al the regular municipal election,
again without party name or designa-
ton Upon submission TO the voters
OF Grand Rapids the proposition was
adopted on a full vote by a majority
of about three to one, every precinct
showing a majority.
The people of Grand Rapids have,
evidently. come to the conclusion that
it is more important TO secure good
business men for the management OF
the affairs of the city than to find
remunerative places for professional
politicians.

GIANT POWDER
 MENACES SALOON
Eleven Sticks of High Ex- pIosive Found in Rear of
 Whites Place.

Eleven sticks of giant powder were found by Nick Yednak in the alley at the rear of the Whites saloon this morning. The explosive was tied up in handkerchief and the indications are that whoever placed it there did so before the snow came.
 The find occasioned considerable talk around town, inasmuch as about two months ago giant was found in the washroom at the Horseshoe and also in the Montana. At that time several theories as to the purpose or reason for planting the explosive were advanced but the mystery was never solved.
 One theory was to the effect that a man who asserted that he had been robbed of $500 in a saloon had decided to, out of revenge, to blow up all the saloons in town. Others, however, held to the belief that the giant was temporarily cachedtby some prospec- tor who was afraid to claim his pro- perty after it had been discovered.
 The explosive found this morning was turned over to City Marshal Hoff- man who dumped it in the bay. There was sufficient quantity of the stuff to have destroyed a small section of the city had it been exploded and many were the expressions of indig- nation heaped upon the person, who- ever he may be, who is responsible.

CONSTANTINE IS
 LET 0FF EASY

Seattle, May 9-Sobbing hysterical- ly, partly from fear and partly from the disgrace, William Constantine, a wealthy butcher of this city, pleaded guilty in the criminal court this morn ing to assault with intent to kill his son-in-law, Jesse Hall. Constantine was sentenced to pay fine of $5,OOO and with gasp of relief at the know ledge that he will not have to serve time in the penitentiary he collapsed into his seat.
 The crime to which Constantine pleaded guilty was committed year ago last October, and the first trial resulted in a conviction, the defend ant being sentenced to year in the penitentiary and to pay fine of 3D. 900. An appeal was taken to the supreme court and a new trial grant ed.
 Constantine had always borne a good reputation and was fairly prom inent in the business life of the city. He set up temporary insanity as de- Sense, alleging that his act was a re- suit of broading about the treatment visited upon his daughter by her hus- band. The testimony along this line was sensational in the extreme, the young wife declaring on the witness stand that she had been subjected to the most revolting abuse.
 On the morning of the shooting Constantine went to the real estate office of his son-in-law and when the latter put in all appearance sent three revolver bullets into Halls body. For a time it was feared that Hall would die.
 Mrs. Hall was given divorce sev- eral months ago.
