HOUSE RiDDLED; TWO KILLED.
Man and Woman Slain During Battle
 With Texas Officers.

Waxahatchie, Texas-Barricadins himself in small house on the Gibbons farm, two miles south of Rocket. Willie Williams, a negro, made a desperate effort to resist ar rest on charge of unlawfully carry ing arms. Sheriff McAlpin and dep- uty sheriff went to the door and called for him. The negro began shooting at them with a revolver.
 The officers returned the shots with him until their ammunition was ex- hausted. Help arrived and the house was riddled with rife bullets. Then the door was broken open. Williams and negro woman were found dead on the floor.
 The theory of the officers is that Williams killed the woman and then shot himself.

A NEW EXPLOSIVE
ACTION OF CONGRESS MAY DlS-
 CLOSE INGREDIENTS.
THREE YEARS OF EXPERIMENTING
Bursting Charge of ProiectiIes Leads the World, and May Revolu-
 tionize Warfare.

Washington, D. C.-The ordnance department of the army is having trouble with congress in attempt ing to keep secret ingredients of what it asserts is the first successful burst. ing charge for projectiles that has been discovered anywhere in the world
 After three years experiment and exhaustive tests, the ordnance experts have evolved explosive D." which, it is claimed, is proof from explosion when the projectile leaves the gun, the projectile pierces the armor or ob- ject at which it is directed. It then explodes within the projectile and in fiicts damage on the object fired at
 Japan had her "shimosi" during the o-JapaneSe war, but it proved a failure in that the material was not able to withstand the shock given to the projectile when it left the gun, or when it struck the object aimed at. As far as is known, the United States is ahead of the world as regards this discovery, and. having conceived the destruction-dealing substance which practically all nations have been en- deavoring to find for years, the ord nance officials are naturally anxious to have it's ingredients remain a se- cret.
 Congress, up to the present. has sue ceeded in putting a damper on the secrecy idea by voting the ingredients of the new explosive must be pur chased in the open market through ad vertisement. just as all other supplies of the army are acquired.
