AIRsHIPs IT'S TARGET.
Sky-Devastating Gun Invented by
Army Officers.

Although officers of the army ordnance
department are non-communicative, 1t is
generally understood they have designed
a gun to successfully cope with flying
machines.
1t is described as a three-inch rifle,
long and light. and somewhat similar to
the twelve-pounders in use in the navy.
The novel feature OF the apparatus is the
carriage.
That structure IL of high-tensiOn steel
capable Of sustaining three or four times
the recoil of the ordinary gun carriage.
II is set on revolving table. which per-
mits the gun to be fired in a circle at
nearly sixty degrees elevation.
This device differs from the German
device In that IL is stationary when placed
and Is free from the lateral shock to
which the German destroyer is said to be
liable.
The gun will FIRE a shell which. 1t Is
said, will have the same effect on an air
ship that q heavy charge of shot has on
a bird and will cut II all to pieces. 1t will
be used In the forthcoming tests in fir
ing at balloons to be conducted at the
Sandy Hook proving grounds

SUGAR RoGUEs AND OTHERS.
Customs Employees Of Various Sorts
to Get Hurt by Collector Loeb.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-The
crisis precipitated in the customs serv-
ice at this port by the revelations made
by former government employees en-
gagged In the weighing and sampling of
sugar imports has reached an acute
stage today.
The house cleaning which Collector
Loeb is preparing to inaugurate is now
believed TO threaten customs employees
other than those having to do with
sugar.
The collector was asked il the twenty
two weighers whose names he has sub
mitted to the United States civil service
commission as .'undesirables'' had been
indicted by the federal grand jury for
completely in the sugar frauds. He de-
clined either to confirm or deny the re-
port.
Asked what his attitude was regarding
the projected congressional investigation
OF the customs service, he replied that he
was not engaged in the business OF rock
ing the boat
Mr.. Loeb refused to discuss the charge
of former special deputy that the gov
ernment had been defrauded OF duties ag-
gregating nearly Sl.UG.OOU through the
underweighing OF lemons admitted at
this port between 1893 and 1904.
