Republic disaster, is again flashing
the signal of distress, with the
courts of the country as the OBJ

time but himself, but the point that
he raises is an interesting one. He
has begun action against motion
picture company for attempting to
reproduce scenes attending the
wreck of the Republic, with him
self as the central figure.
These pictures were recently ex-
hibited In Spokane.
He doesn't complain that his pic

WOODMEN HAVE
ELEGANT NIGHT

The Woodmen of the World had
one of the great times of this jur-
isdiction last night. on the way to
and at Natatorium park. AS re-
suit of their activities the order
has more than 800 new members
today. The principal address of
the evening was delivered by Head
Consul Boak, who made one of his
characteristic speeches on fratern-
ity and woodcraft. In the absence
of Mayor Pratt, Rev. J. H. Bennett
welcomed the choppers. Other Of
ficers of the order spoke.
The comic part of the program
was furnished in generous measure
by public exposition of the Aus
tin degree: and the musical fea-
ture by the w. o. w. male quartet.

contains the petroleum motor. Ac-
cording to M. CADET, with a motor
of 200 horsepower, the rate of 20
knots can be easily attained.
The strange craft was slid down
into the Seine on gently sloping
rails and submerged to the upper
compartment. On a small motor
boat 100 yards off was me trans
mitter, with NJ. CADET at the key.
Under the eyes of an astonished
group of army officers, men of
science and newspaper men, obey
ing the invisible current waves
transmitted from the launch, the
motor of the torpedo boat went or
stopped as desired. Under the
same mysterious influence, at the
will of the man sitting in the
launch, the rudder turned slowly
to right or left. All the parts Of
the deadly machine obeyed his
will.
A marvellous part of the inven-
ton is that the lights inform the
operator ashore just how the boat
is obeying his direction. So the
torpedo is directed surely and with
the utmost accuracy toward it's
giant adversary-the battleship.
An engine such as this" con-
tinued NJ. CADET, ''can open a
breach of 80 square yards in the
| hull of a battleship."

BOY THIEVES USE
WIRELESS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 81
Arthur Smith, 722 Blade street;
John Brown, 3160 Blanchard street;
Leslie Johnson, corner of Blade
and Winter streets, and Burnwell
Ward, 16, 2706 Winter street, were
arrested by Patrolmen BOwe and
Browning, who came very near let
ting their prey escape because Ar
thur Smith knew how to use a wire
less telegraph instrument and the
officers did not.
Smith was the first lad to be
taken into custody. They found him
in the club house of the Dirty
Four Gang the walls of which
were decorated with skulls. cross
bones and other weird looking OBJ
jects, including wireless tele-
graph instrument The boy did not
seem to mind being arrested, and
when the officers appeared curious
to know how Smiths wireless work
ed, he appeared very anxious to let
them know, so taking the instru-
ment in his hands, he proceeded
to send a message, as he said, ito
the moon
This message was, however, re-
ceived by other members of the
gang. who were told that the police
were on their trail and they imme-
diately proceeded to make them
selves scarce. Bowe and Browning
finally caught on to the lads trick.
They now think they have all the
members of the gang, excepting
Carl Buck, who left the city several
days ago.

Special Correspondence to The Press
PARIS, July 31.-It's no use to
go on spending millions of dollars
on battleships if the invention of a
French engineer, M. Gustave CADET,
fulfills it's official trials, few
weeks hence, he promise just given
at it's unofficial trial
This new engine of destruction is

a distance of three and half and
even four miles, as completely as
if the operator were on board in
stead of beside a telegraph instru-
ment well out of harms way.
Like the bee that is supposed to
die when it has used its one and
only sting, this costyl vessel is ex-
pected never to make more than
one business" trip, and that trip
is designed to be the most expen-
sive voyage on record.
The preliminary trials took place
some time ago, but the working
model used on this occasion, and
'of which | have obtained special
photographs for you, is much larger
and considerably improved.

bottom a hull of II years, on top
of this long thin cylindrical float

lights that wink signals. In the
compartment in the fore part of the
hull there is accommodation for
2vU pounds of explosives.
The second compartment con-
tains the apparatus controlling the
Hertz radioactive waves, which are
now used in wireless telegraphy,
and will will enable an operator
to direct the vessel from a hitherto
unprecedented distance. The third
chamber of the hull incloses the
"accumulators." They have moth

boat, but regulate the maneuvers
