NAv|ES Of WORLD
N DANGER
INGENUITY OF AMERI.
CAN INVENTOR SEEMS TO
HAVE SOLVED PROBLEM OF
KILLING AT DISTANCE.

New Orleans, May 20.-If the pro-
cess for the destruction of protected
magazines aboard battleships and in
forts devised by H. A. Folk of this
city is practical, modern warfare will
be revolutionized
Folk claims to have discovered a
way by which the magazines in YES
sells miles distant can be exploded
by a wireless spark set off by an
operator in a tower on the shore. He
claims that by his process one man
can destroy an entire fleet within a
very few minutes.
The young inventor, it is said, has
corresponded with the United States
government concerning his discovery
and negotiations for its purchase are
pending. He has been commanded
to secrecy by the war department and
refuses to divulge any part of his pro-
cess.

THE CITY HAS 800
WATER TAPS
THERE ARE ABOUT 600 PATRONS
OF THE CITY WATER SYSTEM
$14OO Is PAID in RENTALS.

AS an indication of the rapidity
with which the city is growing it is
only necessary to cite the increase
in the water rentals of the city. Two
years ago $500 was taken in during
the month for water rentals, and it
was considered a very good business.
Now on an average of 81, 400 is taken
in every month. This means that
City Clerk Sumner has to write some
600 water receipts every month. This
in itself is no light task.
At the present time the city is
making considerable improvements
in extensions in the water lines
Mains are being laid into the recent
ly plated Wenatchee Park addition
Mains are also being run north and
great deal of labor is being en-
ployed by the city for this purpose.
The weekly payroll for labor at the
last meeting was $3.50.

FLOUR To BE HIGH
FOR MONTHS
CASH INTEREST AND MILLERS OF
THE NORTHWEST PREDICT
TRADE WILL GO INTO SPRING
SEASON WITH LOW STOCKS.

Chicago, May 20.-Cash interests
and millers in the northwest are pre-
dieting that spring wheat will sell
higher there for May and July than
in Chicago, on absolute scarcity. 1t
is claimed there that the nigh price
for cash wheat has contracted the
commercial market, and that the
cash wheat will govern the futures,
for mills must have wheat, and the
high prices for winter wheat flour
are compensating for the scarcity OF
heat itself Stocks of flour in Sec
onj hands, moreover, are being used
up, so that the trade will go into
the new crop season with practically
no stocks on hand ani millers are an
ticipating good trade and high
prices for flour for months to come
So far as concerns wheat itself, the
trade describes the situation as nat
ural corner in practically all the mar
kets of this country and in Europe
In view of the action of farmers in
holding back their corn these last six
months and the beneficial results
they have secured to themselves in
the way of high prices, it might be
possible they will try the holding pol
icy on their new wheat crop. Should
they do so, high prices are to prevail
1t is a case that is "up to the farm
err to a. greater extent than ever, as
he is the dictator of prices, If he
only knew 1t, so long as markets are
handled by the present methods.

$4,000 WORTH OF
DIAMONDS STOLEN
WOMAN CAUSES ISSUANCE OF
WARRANT FOR ARREST OF
HER BROTHER WHO is NOW
ON WAY TO SEATTLE.

Los Angeles, May 20.-Suspected
of having stolen $4,000 worth of
diamonds from his sister, Mrs. Lulu
NJ. Woodley, who came here from
Norfolk, Va, to be married, Frank
c. Chapman is being sought today by
the police on a warrant issued by the
sister.
Chapman is believed to be on his
way to Seattle and is reported to
have left the city last Thursday. The
police were first apprised of the theft
of the diamonds on May 8, but sue
|ceeded in bottling up the disappear
ance of the gems by giving fictitious
names in an insignificant amount.
1t is said that the first suspicion of
the sister against her brother was
aroused when a ring found by de-
tectives in a pawn shop was said by
the police to have been traced back
to him.

man, live here.

LOVE IN A TENT
SHATTERED
COUPLE MARRIED HERE A COU-
PIE OF WEEKS AGO BY JUDGE
PALMER HAVE HAPPINESS
SPOILED BY OREGON OFFICER.

Not all of those welded by Judge
Palmer have easily sailed along the
matrimonial sea. Once in a while
troubles are encountered, and this is
the experience of w. A. Lynn and
his Is year old girl wife, who was
Miss Frances Prescil. The couple
were married here couple Of weeks
ago. From here they went east to
Moses Lake, pitched tent on the
north end of the lake and settled
down to prosaic duties of tentkeep-
ing. Little attention was paid to the
new arrivals by the settlers in that
district, as 1t is nothing unusual for
homesteaders to live in a tent until
they can build a house, and the cou-
pie did not court attention. They
seemed quite content midst the aro-
matte sagebrush and the blue waters
of the lake sparkling in front of their
canvas dwelling and true love ran
smoothly for a time.
Officer MacLane of the Portland
police force got of the train at Will
son Creek Monday morning with war
rants for the arrest of the couple.
who had eloped from Portland three
weeks ago. With Constable Arm
strong he started for Moses lake and
after a drive of 35 miles arrived at
the tent, where loves young dream
was shattered. A display of the war
rants convinced the eloping couple OF
the futility of resisting and they
agreed to accompany the officer back
to Portland without trouble. The
party drove to Ephrata and took the
train from that point.
The man Is about "a years old,
cook by profession. The warrant was
sworn to by the girls mother.

0'BR|EN JOHNSON
DRAW
FIGHTERS BOX SIX ROUNDS IN
PHILADELPHIA RING ON EVEN
TERMS-CHAMPIO WAS SLOW
AND AWKWARD.
(By Associated Press. J

Philadelphia, May 20.-Jack John
son, the big colored heavyweight
champion, failed to win over Jack
O'Brien, the Philadelphia light-heavy-
weight, in a six-round bout last night.
The fight was even and the con-
sensus of opinion was that it was a
draw, had the decision been possible
O'Brien's marvelously fast foot
work and his superior blocking
saved him from danger in several
close mixes, and three times he was
forced to his knees by the great
strength and weight of Johnson in
the clinches.
1t was a fast fight, O'Brien doing
the greater part of the leading.
Johnson was slow on his feet and
appeared not to be in the best condi-
tion. Repeatedly the champion
rushed his smaller antagonist, but
seldom landed effectively. A right
hand counter in the fifth round cut
O'Brien's right eye and this was the
sum total of the damage done in the
six rounds.
O'Brien was in and out like flash
in nearly every round, stabbing john
son on the face, but the blows lacked
foicc and had no effect other than
TO make the big black man grin and
wave his hand at the crowd.
The spectators shouted wildly every
time O'Brien landed and hooted
Johnson for his apparent rough work
in the clinches.
O'Brien Is Enthusiastic.
Johnson had nothing to say after
the bout except that he thought he
had the better of it.
O'Brien was enthusiastic over his
showing. He said that today he ac-
cepted a proposal to meet Al. Kauf-
man in San Francisco in the near
future.
O'Br'en appeared to bein splendid
share as he took off his bathrobe.
Johnson seemed rather bulky about
the waist line, but his splendid mus
cles stood out on arms and shoul-
ders.
