70 MAKE WAR MORE HORRIBLE,
Lots Of Inventors at Work on Great
and Gruesome Devices.

This government expends small
sum cach year for testing new de-:
vices OF & possible military value. Tho
Board Of Ordnance and Fertilization
Is supposed to have the duty Of en-
couraging inventors and assisting In
the development Of their Inventions.
Last year only $1,000 was expended
by the board, which, with It's accumu-
lated all0tments Of previous years,
has now on hand moro than 5000
Comparatively few experiments are
made. says Harper's Weekly, and the
vast number Of suggestions are appar-
entity shelyed without much more at
tcntion than polite acknowledgment
to the auth ors. X. III
Nearly all the devices submitted are
intended to increase the terrors Of
war by adding to the efficacy Of the
means Of fighting. Perhaps an excep-
ton should be made In favor Of m
ear protector, the invention Of q New
York man, adapted for use by those
who are on duty In the turrets or
battlesEin and those stationed at
the coast Notifications.
Ordinarily the blast Of big gun
has an effect upon the drum Of the
ear; It Is at best unpleasant. and
sometimes 1t proves disastrous, as In
the instances Of men who have lost
their hearing. The ear protector is a
little celluloid bulb SO pierced that It
may be placed In the car aud protect
It from the noise and shock while
not interfering with the hearing. an
advantage, Of course, over the crude
method Of stu!lng the ears with cot
ton 60 that nothing can be ..eard and
when orders can only be appreciated
t. pantomime. "a
Some OF the other inventions which
have been fayorably received may W
regarded as having a tendency to en-
courage peace since they would intro
duce into warfare factors Of 'deyasta-
tlon which would by their diabolical
results promote International disarma-
ment. or this class must be consid-
cred those bomb dropping devices,
which, II successful, would destroy
whole armies; the inflammable pro-
jectile capable Of burning up camp;
| the nltrogycerlne missile; a scheme
for pouring burning sulphur into
trenches, and kindred methods Of
wholesale ohliteration.
There is, too. the usual proportion
Of armored cars, including the highly
protected motor which shan pene-
trate the enemy'a lines and afford It's
steel shielded occupants 9 chance to
pick of the opposing marksmen and
incidentally strew high explosives
along a death dealing route. One Of
these hurting cars makes the famed
Juggernau: look like q nursery TOY.
Ono Of the conditions which seems
TO be- fully met by incipient invention
Is the use Of smoke for various pur-
poses, including that Of a shield
which will permit approach upon an
enemy without his discovery Of the
advance. s555l IA

POLISH TROOP IN
Fight IN CHICAGO
MOB BESTS TWENTY MEN ARM.
ED WITH BAYoNETS-ScoRE
ARE HURT.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Twenty persons
were injured here last night when a
company of the Polish si1arpshooters
charged a crowd OF men. women and
children with their bayonets.
The trouble started when the cap
tain OF the company hit boy with
his sword because the youngster did
not get out of the way quick enough
TO suit the officer This enraged the
crowd who had getkcred to see the
soldiers and an exclamation was de-
manded by the angry people. Finally
the mother of the boy attacked the
captain with stick The captain
then ordered his company. which con-
sisted of about twenty men. to charge
the crowd with their hayonets
The crowd fought back and out
numbered the soldiers. Inesflot De
came general and the captain of the
company was one OF the first to re-
treat
A riot call was. sent in for the po-
lice and they arrived In time to ar
rest FIVE of the soldiers-all OF whom
were more or less bruised.

CRIMINAL MUST BE REFORMED
UNLESS EFFORTS ARE MADE TO

NJ. o. OFFICIAL AT SEATTLE, A
GREATER CRIME is COMMITTED
AGAINST SOCIETY.

Seattle Aug. 17.-'Tf a man be
cosvicted of crime and serve a term
in prison and no steps are taken to
effect his reford or cure, a greater
crime against society has been COM
mitted than the crimv of the indi-
vidual," said F. o. Rellstrom, warden
of the North Dakota state peniten-
tiary, in his address at uoday's ses-
sion of the American Prison associa-
ton.
ANY prison management that for
gets moral ethics, justice and human
ity cannot Justify it's right to exist
ence," continued the speaker.
Halt Human Progress.
"a prison that is managed and dom
mated by a spirit of revenge is simply
a barnacle that society must remove
in order to facilitate human progress.
when the inmates character is up
lifted, the duty of the prison man
agement has in that measure been dis
charged. the shackIes of crime have
been removed from the mind of the
inmate and there had been added to
the society a useful member. If a
man discharged goes forth with bitter
hatred and vengeance in his heart
against society, then both are to be
pitied, for the storm will surely break
and some inocent person will be made
the victim"

king SENDS DUKE To
we'd MISS X. ELKINS
ITALY's RULER TURNS DOWN
EDWARDS GRAND D-DAuGHTER
AS DUCHESS D'ABRUZzi.

Rome, Aug. 17.-By his plan to send
the Duke of Abruzzi as ambassador to
Washington, King Victor Emmanuel
is taking direct slap at King Ed
ward of England.
That Is what those versed in the
vagaries of European courts declare.
The purpose of the detailing of his
royal cousin to the Washington post,
they assert, is for the daring explorer
and royal adventurer to make his
peace with Senator Stephen b. Elkins,
of West Virginia, and bring back
Katherine Elkins as the duchess of
Abruzzi
This is in direct opposition to the
wishes of the English monarch. The
English king wants an alliance OF the
duke with member of his family.
He has selected his granddaughter,
Princess Victoria Patricia daughter of
the duke of Connaught, as the future
wife of the Italian nobleman but the
dukes heart has always been hover
ing around Elkin's, w Va, and now
1t appears that the king has Joined
him In his purpose to have an Ameri-
can member of the royal family.
Miss ElkinS is now in Europe. but
on account of the known enmity az
King Edward, she has cut England or
her visiting list The duke Is s@still fD
Asia. but is certain to return when in
formed that he has just cause to re-
turn to America.
It is not thought that Miss EIkins
will prolong her European Journey
when she learns of the proposed ap-
pointment.

London, Aug. 17.-Orvtlle Wright,
who arrived here yesterday from New
York, will spend only twenty -four
hours In England. He is going TO
Germany today. He was NOT able to
do anything in the flying line here,
although, his aeroplanes are com
pleted, the motors for them having
not yet been delivered.
AS far as Mr.. Wright knows, the
only flying he will do in Europe will
be in Germany. He may possibly re-
turn to England on his way home. He
has received no communication from
the British war office, and no ar
rangemenLs have been made for a
meeting between him and British
officials, as has been reported in some
quarters.

Cloquet, Mimi, Aug. Ito answer
for the second murder case in the
history Of Carton county. Oscar Glader
was brought back TO the county seat
at Carlton last evening in custody of
Sheriff Lee and Sheriff johnson of
Nelson county, N. ID.
Shortly after midnight on the morn
ing of July 25, John Grandrud and
two companions were returning from
the island" and reached place on the
Duluth g. Northeastern tracks where
Glader suddenly emerged from behind
lumber pile and fired at Grandrud,
the shot lodging in his abdomen and
causing death the following morning.
Before his death Grandrud told of a
quarrel he had had with Glader a few
months before the shooting and that
Glader had threatened to some time
put it over him."
Made Clean Get away.
After the murder Grader made a
clean getaway and all track Of him
had been practically lost Saturday
morning a person from this city whose
name is not known, recognized him in
train at Grand Forks bound for
Montana but was too late to catch
him before the train left Word was
sent ahead to Lakota, and the arrest
made there and he was held in custody
until the arrival of Sheriff Lee Al
hearing was held this mornine before
Judge Skemp of the municipal court.
Both Grandrud and Glader were Fin
landers, the latter having a family, a
wife and five children, residing here.
The crime stirrf up the Finlanders
to considerable extent as the muir
aerer was not very popular among
hose of his own nationality.

strange labor transformation which takes

The attempt made by certain fashionable
women to place the laces zen vogue" has.
according to the report, met with little
