The absence OF powder and shells In
creases the carrying capacity Of the
automobile so per cent, so far as the
projectiles are concerned, because
Just that much more space is avail

The inventors idea, he declares, is
not TO destroy life, but to place the
nation that uses his gun in such a
position that no other power would
be so rash as to make war against the
one armed with such a formidable
weapon. He says that ten Of his half
inch guns, firing In the aggregate 2O,
00O, 900 bullets an hour, would equal
the work of many regiments OF infan-
try and sweep away an army OF 2OO.-
900 men within 60 minutes, If only
one per cent. OF the missiles found
human targets.
Danger of the capture OF the gun,
he declares, would be reduced to the
minimum, because no enemy could
withstand the storm of bullets to get
near the piece, to say nothing OF its
ability to get away at speed OF 80
miles an hour.
Fred Bangerter of 404 Avenue T..
F1atbush, the inventor OF the so-called
preventive OF war, is a practical en-
gineer and has invented and built
many automatic machines that are in
use to-day in different parts of the
world
He has gold and silver medals and
diplomas that were awarded to him at
the Paris exposition in 1900 and at
the Belgian exposition in 1905 He is
q native of Switzerland and Is 80
years old. While in the army of his
country he MADE study Of the
weapons used. and since leaving
Switzerland, at the age of 90, he has
travelled in many countries, devoting
many years to studying the arms en-
ployed in the service of leading pow.
ers.
Mr.. Bangerter has been in the Uni
ted States three years, and now Is the
superintendent of large machinery
plant in Brooklyn, where several OF
his inventions are in use. The inven.
tor says he will sell the secret of his
gun to any government that will pay
an adequate price for it, but If salts
factory arrangements to that end are
not made he will preserve the secret
and not reveal 1t even in his will.
When he is satisfied that he cannot
make the terms he desires he will de-
stroy the gun.
No application has been made to
patent the deadly machine and none
will be, for Mr.. Bangerter says that
he has had experience in that line. He
asserts that he does not propose to
have any more of his ideas stolen.

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

The supreme court of the United
States has handed down decision af-
firming the judgement of the Idaho
federal court in the case of George
Dick, an Indian. charged with selling
liquor on the Nez Perez Indian reserva
ton, in Idaho. The case involves a
penitentiary sentence, and was brought
to he supreme court on an appeal.
The following towns in the reserva-
ton have saloons within their borders.
doing business under license issued by
the county commissioners:
Spalding, Fort Lapwai, Reubens,
Kippen, East lilo, Vollmer, Waha, Mob
Ter, Nez Perez, Sites, Kooskia, Ferdi-
nand, Lowe, Greer, O1ofino, Peck Gift
ford and Lookout.
To Nez Perez and Idaho counties it
means an annual loss of $3.50 license
money for each saloon, and as there
are approximately So saloons it means
loss of $25, 900. which has gone into
the treasury of the two counties.

Oregon may not require female en-

United States supreme court in the
case of Curt Muller, laundry man do

law as unconstitutional, claiming that
it puts limitation on the power of con-

held the law.
