NEW ARMAMENT PLAN
JAPAN ADOPTS SCHEME TO RE-
FIT BATTLESHIPS.

TOXIC, July 21.-The Japanese admiral
ty has decided upon large scheme of re-
armament. Instead of building new ships
the ornaments Of the old will be altered
so as to bring them in line with the
most modern ideas and with the re-
quirements indicated by the war with
Russia. Thus vessels Of the Mikasa type,
which have hitherto carried four Pinch
guns and fourteen 6-inch guns. will
henceforth carry four 1O-inch instead Of
fourteen 6-inch. so that their principal
armament will be brought up to eight
pieces OF heavy caliber. In fact, their
fighting strength will be doubled.
Similarly. in the case of vessels like
the Retvisan, taken during the war.
their new armament will consist Of four
12-inch and four 1O-inch pieces. the latter
being substituted for the twelve 6-inch
which these vessels originally carried.
When the program is carried out it will
have the advantage Of creating thor
oughly homogeneous fighting force.
Several first-class cruisers are to be
added to the navy. These ships will
have a displacement of 1850. with a
horsepower Of 1900 and a speed of 25
knots. They will be $50 feet long over
all, with 80 feet beam and a draught of
70 feet Their armor will be seven inches
and their armament will consist of ten
Pinch guns, some 6-inch. whose num-
Der is not yet fixed, and ten 47-inch.
One of these ships is to be built at Kure.

EBERHARD NOT FOUND
SUSPECT ARRESTED IN MURDER
MYSTERY NOT THE MAN.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The police of
two states spent all day yesterday and
most Of the night seeking a clue to the
whereabouts Of August Eberhard, the
grocer's clerk who, they believe. can
throw some light upon the murder of
his aunt. Ottilie Eberhard. near Hack
ensack Saturday evening.
The man arrested at Dobbs Ferry, N.
Y, yesterday, on the belief that he was
young Eberhard. does not fill the descrip-
ton of the missing man. He. however.
showed marked indications Of insanity.
1t was found necessary to put him in a
straitjacket lest he injure himself or his
guards. His mental condition explains
the contradictory nature OF his state
ments yesterday as to his identity.
The father Of August Charles Eber-
hard. who lives near Moores Mills. in
Dutchess county. n. T.. said that there
had been insanity in his wife's family.
and that his son was given to frequent
bursts of temper.
daughter. Frieda, who had been en-
ployed near Duchess Junction. and who
had recently come to New York to enter
q hospital for treatment, has disappeared
since news of the aunt's murder became
public. It was feared by q young BROTH
er, George, with whom she had been stay
ing. that the girl had committed suicide
in q At of dependency.

BOY YIELDS BUTCHER KNIFE
YOUTHFUL FARM HAND Sc
vERE1Y WOUNDS FOREMAN:
]. T. Courtney, the Injured Nan, Ad-
mitted to Hospital-Sherif
Hunts Assailant.

Suffering from two stab wounds in his
left shoulder and back, Joseph T. Court
ney. thirty-eight years old. an employe of
NJ. M. Rouzee. College Park. Md. was re-
moved to the Emergency Hospital from a
street car at 25th street and Pennsylvania

will be able to leave the hospital In sew
eral days
Mr.. Courtney stated he was foreman on
the farm Of Mr.. Rou=ce and he was re-
pairing q wagon aLout 1880 o'clock this
morning when Charles Peck, seventeen
years old, who was employed as helper,
attacked him with q large butcher knife.
The boy seemingly resented Courtney's In
structions about work for the day.
Could Not Defend Himself.
The injured man said he was sitting
down at the time and was unable to de-
fend himself as the attack was so sudden.
Finally he succeeded in driving the boy
away from him and started for the hospt-
tai. On the way he met a storekeeper
who lives in the vicinity, and the latter
notified the sheriff of the stabbing. The
injured man became so weak from the
loss of blood that he was assisted to a
drug store at 18th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, whence the ambulance
carried him to the hospital.
1t is stated that Peck was formerly an
inmate OF the Industrial Home School.
Mr.. Courtney said that he heard several
days ago that the boy had asked a friend
to purchase him a pistol as he wanted to
do some shooting.

DR.. GUTHRIE WILL APPEAL
FIRST PLEA TO COL. BRoM-
WELL, HOWEVER.
Proposes to Hold Services in Iowa

lice Remiss, He Says.

Rev. DR.. Charles E. Guthrie, pastor OF
Hamline NJ. E. Church. who. with party
Of assistants. was elected from the park
at Iowa Circle last Sunday evening. stated
today that he will appeal first to Col.
Bromwell superintendent of public build
ings and grounds. before making an ap-
peal to the President.
He says that he and the workers Of the
congregation desire to continue to con-
duct open-air services at Iowa Circle
Sunday evenings during the summer. and,
as he has now learned Is necessary, he
will apply for a permit to the superin-
tendent of public grounds.
while we do not anticipate any further
trouble. if we do have 1t. the matter will
be brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent" he stated today. There is a con-
editorial in The Star called attention.
think the matter ought to be cleared up
DR.. Guthrie still feels that the police
authorities failed to give him proper in
structions in regard to the open-air meet
ings and that the park authorities were
intolerant in ejecting the Hamline Church
party precipitately from the park.
When the plan of holding outdoor
meetings was considered 1 personally
called on Mai. Sylvester. told him was
what steps were necessary in order to GET
permits to hold such meetings. told him
I expected to hold a meeting at Iowa
Circle, meaning by that, as all others
in the city who use the term, the park
at Iowa Circle.
HE never mentioned Col Bromwell or
intimated in any way that the police de-
partment did not have full authority to
grant the permits for such meetings. And
the first knew of this other jurisdiction
was when the park Waterman told me to
get out Of the park Sunday evening.
''rhen I understand that the permit
from the superintendent Of public grounds
in such cases is easy to attain. II they
will grant permit why could they not be
tolerant for thirty minutes and give an
opportunity to adjust the matter later
DR.. Guthrie expects to see Col. Brom-
we'll within Q day or two and talk over
the situation with him.
