NAVY MEN WIN
FIRST BALL GAME
Defeat Army Nine in Ten In
ming Contest by Score
of 5 to 4

With the score 10 at the close
OF 10 innings Of good baseball at the
grounds In the Preside yesterday aft

Fully 1000 saw the game. Every

on hand. Even those conAned in the

An hour before the game was called

by them. During most Of the game
they sat cross legged on the ground,
sailor fashion, but al exciting times
they rose and, but for the wire rope
that restrained them, would have
rushed upon the diamond in their en-

pOsite, between the grounds and their
barracks, and rooted almost as hard,
BY sheer force Of numbers drowning
out at times the voices of the sailors
who were yelling with all the might
Of their lusty lungs.

In the case this afternoon In the police
court, where Judge Smith is hearing
the preliminary examination OF the
Ogden dynamiting trial.
Detective st. Clair Hodgkins. who
went to Weaverville and broeght back
the woman prisoner to face the pres
ent charge. testified for an hour as to
the part Clara Ward has played in
Mrs. Martins tales. He said Mrs. Mar
tin had told of ride with Clara Ward
in Central park, New York, and re-
the supposed substitution OF Baby
John" for another child by the prin-
cess.

Mrs. Martin said that Clara Ward
became Princess Chimay and went to
France. where she was the instigator
OF, a revolt" Hodgkins testified. She
said the princess made history there
and that after, her return to America
that she had taken John. and that
Princess Chimay had adopted a baby
girl, who afterward was an heiress to
a large estate"
Judge Ogden held the witness stand
all the afternoon. and testified to pre-

that criminal acts were necessary for
wronged woman to draw attention.

house was dynau1ited. she told me,
Whoever dynarnited your house must
have been some one incensed against
you for taking away from them one
OF their loved ones. I never would
have done such a deed"
Ogden then told Of an anonymous
letter received before the crime. in
which threats were made against him.
Carl Eisenschimmel. a handwriting ex-
pert, identified the chirography of that
letter as that OF Mrs. Martin by com
parison with the handwriting in let

TORPEDO BATTLEsHIP.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1S.-A
torpedo battleship" is what some
naval authorities think we are COM
ing to. At any rate, there has been
considerable tentative disclssion re-
earding such an evolution in the
Navy Department, especially among
the construction corps. II win not
come right away, but some think It
inevitable in view Of the rapidly in
cruasiug range and accuracy Of tor
pcdocs. These experts say that al
ready it is evident that a j-inch gun
must take the place Of the 3-inCh for
torpedo defense with torpcdoes Of
1000 yards range, and It is likely
that the range will reach 5000 or
1000 yards. II the exalted claims
made for maNlmitc are we'll founded,
tnat influence will increase the
range to 10000 or 1000 yards.
with such torpcdocs it Is expected
that. battleshlps will need to have a
speed Of twcnty-siX or twcnty-scyon
knots, be heavily armored on the
water line and without guns, which
would be replaced by six or eight
torpedo tubes on each side, the saw
ing in weight being utilized to make
the armOr belt imperviOus. Such a
vessel would be Il yeritable terror of
the seas. AS guns seem to have
reached the limit of effectiveness
and battleships are near that limit,
the only room for development ap.
pears to be along the line suggested
