NEWS OF THE FLEET.
Admiral Sperry Visits Washington
Note to Be Relieved.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Rear Admiral
Sperry, commander-in-chef of the Allan
tic fleet, passed today in Washington in
consultation with naval officials respect
ing matters connected with his command.
Owing to Secretary Newberry's presence
at the cabinet meeting the admiral de-
ferred his visit to the navy department
until noon.
Rear Admiral Sperry spent some time
with Secretary Newberry, after he had
returned from the cabinet meeting. The
secretary again declared today that there
was no intention of relieving Admiral
Sperry from his duties as commandments
chief of the Atlantic fleet. 1t is believ-
ed, however should the admiral request
that he be relieved another rear admiral
would be appointed to take the command.
Admiral Sperly will be the guest to-
morrow of the President at luncheon at
the White HoNse. lie will remain in
Washington until Monday, when he will
return to the flagship Connecticut.
Captain Hamilton Hutchns. who was
relieved of his command of the battle
ship Kearsarse by Admiral Sperry just
before the fleet left Gibraltar, is to be eX-
amined by a special medical board which
will look into his mental and physical
condition. His mental condition is said
to be most pitiable. 1t was because of
the great nervousness under which Capt
Hutchns labored that, at his own request
he was relieved of his command
Secretary Newberry has approved that
portion of the sentence of the court mar
tial which at Gibraltar sentenced Capt.
Edward +. Qualtrough' of the battleship
Georgia to loss of 10 numbers i'll rank,
following trial on charges of intoxica-
ton and conduct unbecominS an officer
That portion of the sentence suspendins
Capt Qualtrough from duty for six
| months, which was approved by Admiral
Sperry required no action by the navy
department.

SEEKING ROBBERS
STORE OF BLAKE AND RuRGAsoN
RUReLARIzED; $215 TAKEN
FROM RICE DRAWER.

Blakesburg. Oct. 15.--( Especially -
Unknown robbers entered the general
store of Blake & Burgason here last
night, stole a money bag containing
$215 and escaped. A reward of $10O
has been raised for the arrest and
conviction of the thief, the town civ
ing $50, the firm $25 and citizens max
ing up the balance.
The thief or thieves effected an en-.
trance by breaking in the back door
with a heavy timber, after failing in
an attempt to cut the panel with a
knife. The firm had been in the habit
of tying UP the money on hand in a
bag and hiding it in a drawer of rice.
This plan was evidently known as the
money was taken from its odd hiding
place and nothing else in the store was
touched. This leads the officials to
believe the robbery was the work OF
local talent.
Efforts were made to secure blood.
hounds, but this was given up and the
local authorities then sent out notices
to the sheriffs Of all the adjoining
counties. Sheriff Jackson of Ottumwa
was notified and is investigating the
case.

MISSOURI UNIVERSITY co-EDs
HAZE STUDENT BY LEAVING

Crider now is at the home of her
father, s. p Cride, stock commission
man in Kansas City. She left for Kan
sas City soon after she was hazed.
Miss Crider was raised in the city
and knows little OF bird hunting. When
"snipe hunting was proposed she
readily consented to hold the sack.
She was taken over the golf course
south OF town to the hills of Kinkson
creek, where. she was left with a sack
while her companions went to drive
the snipe.o A candle was lighted and
placed near the mouth Of the sack, and
Miss Crider was told the birds would
run into the bag to hide, when she
could catch them.
The jokers say they never went far
from Miss Crider, but she believed she
was left alone and called several
times. At last they returned and
brought her home. She left school
for a few days to recover from the
shock.
This is her first year at the uni
versity. She formerly was pupil at

SCOUT Steamers
Are FITTED OUT
IT WAS FOUND NECESSARY TO
RECONSTRUCT SEVERAL PoR-
,TIoNs OF SHIPS.

New York, Oct. 15.--Both the scout
cruisers Birmingham and Salem are
being fitted out at, the Charlestown
navy yard with what is claimed to be
the most powerful wireless system yet
devised.
Work on the ships has been carried
on with such secrecy that the purpose
of the new mechanism being installed
has not been made known even to the
men employed in its. construction.
The instruments will send and re-
ceive messages 1900 miles under fay-
orable conditions and are so powerful
that it is necessary to reconstruct sew
eral portions Of the new ships in or
der to support the larger spread of
wires and the powerful current used.
All the rigging must be changed to
hemp cordage and all parts of the ap-
paratus placed at least 18 inches away
from any iron work, for the spark IS
SO powerful that it could easily jump
that distance.
Although orders have not been made
public, it is thought that the cruisers
will cross the Atlantic and carry on q
series of tests with the flagship Adj
miral Schroeder, the battleship Con
necticut, and the wireless station ut
Brant Rock. which are being fitted
out with the new apparatus.
The system being Installed is To-
kilowatt set and requires two houses
on the deck. one for receiving and
one for sending messages. The new
system has direct current motor at
a. 1fer a tfnor f1r1- 4.
orator. The spark gap is attached Iii
rectly TO the generator, which reyolyes
with it. This is done In order that il
may be kept cool.
The condensers are separated by
compressed air Overhead the system
calls for 15-foot spread of large
wires, thus making it necessary for
large topmasts.
The battleship Connecticut, the
cruisers Salem and Birmingham, nj
ready have apparatus, it is claimed
which can send and receive 1000
miles. No vessels in the world are
equipped with as powerful apparatus
as that now being installed on these
boats.
The apparatus is development OF
an American company which has
made extensive experiments for the
government at Brant Rock during the
past year
1t will take three weeks to install
the apparatus. after which 1t is expect
ed the ships will cross the ocean, first
to the north, after which they will pro
oeed south, where the static is much
stronger, in order to give the new sys,
tenn a thorough test under all atmos.
pheric conditions.
1t will not be possible, however. TO
use the apparatus during thunder
storms, when the whole apparatus has
to be disconnected to save is from pos.
sible destruction.

BANK ROBBER

WAS A LAWYER
PEkpETRAToR or HIGHLAND
PARK BURGLARY LOST $4,000 A
YEAR PRACTICE AT Los AN.
GELEs BY DISSIPATION.

Chicago, Oct. 15.--The body OF
tho Highland Park bank robher
was positively identified today by
Miss Minlne harrington, an ac-
tress, as that Of Lamar Harris, a
Los Angeles lawyer and orator.
Miss Harrington and Harris were
much together. Dispatches from
Los Angeles say that his moth
er now admits the dead man Is
her son. She says he had built up
law practice Of $4,000 year,
but through dissipation had lost
It all.
Chicago, OCT. ia woman Of Chi
cago's underworld" told a story last
night which gives the motive for the
daring robbery of the Erskine bank at
Highland Park Wednesday.
Her recital also furnishes the last
link in the chain of evidence which
establishes beyond a reasonable doubt
the identity of the robber as Lamar A.
Harris, a brilliant but dissipated young
lawyer of Los Angeles, California.
This was the most sensational Of a
series of sensational developments in
the case yesterday. These include pos
tive Identification of the man as Har-
ris by New York woman, who refus-
ed to give her name, and the probable
ity of a bitter struggle for the body os
the dead man.
The New York woman claims she
is his sister, and wants his body From
Los Angeles comes word from his wife
and mother that they will take his
body there for burial. His wife may
not live to see the body, however, as
she collapsed when she learned he was
a suicide, and is under the care of ply
sicians.
Identified by Girl.
The body was also identified as that
OF Harris by Miss May Harrington,
| the 'girl in blue" who knew him In
Los Angeles and who met him and
was much in his COMPANY in Chicago
last week
The Chicago woman who knew Har.
ris and identified his body yesterday
is Ellen Christie, woman of the un-
derworld. Harris met her soon after
his arrival in Chicago. He became
highly infatuated with her and tod
her she should leave the life she was
following.
She told him she would do that
gladly IL she had any other means OF
making living, Then he declared he
would care for her. He promised to
marry her and take her to New York
1t was to secure the funds for the trip
to New York that he robbed the bank
