Port Side.

Manila Nay ao-Further examination
Of the L. S. dry dock Dewey. which ~
partially submerged at Olongapo in Subig
bay, has strengthened the better Of those
of the navy who have held that the dam
age was done deliberately by band Of
conspirators against tho government
However, it Is now learned that the
valves had not been opened a. first de-
clarcd, though they were found to have
been leaking little, This leakage would
not have caused the trouble and the dock
sank more rapidly than would have been
the case had all tho valves been opened
and no other opening made,
Accordingly the experts believe that
n large hole will be found in the port side
or POTION of the dock. 1t is probable
that the mystery will not be cleared until
the dock has been raised. How long this
will take cannot be said but quite likely
four or five weeks. The position Of the
dock was unchanged to-day except that
the port side containing the machinery
was further settled. being now imbedded
in the mud to depth of IL feet, making
its present examination impossible. The
starhoard Is ono-third dry and can be
easily foated.
The engineers will employ compressed

naval stations at Cavite and Olongapo,

SAFE BUILT TO HOLD
BILLIONS OF RADIUM

London. May 3l-What Is described by
It's makers as the most ingenious safe
ever constructed has JUST been completed
by the chubb company for the British
Radium corporation. The problem pre-
scented to tho manufacturers WAS not only
10 construct n safe that would bid de-
hance to burglars, but which would at the
same time prevent tho escape of the
radium.
II Is we'll known TO science that radium
emanatons will pass through tho thickest
and hardest steel. For this reason. the
inner Golfer Of the safe was made OF lead
three inches thick, inclosed within a bur-
gar proof steel shell. There are many
other special features Including means
of collecting the radium emanatons be-
fore the Golfer is opened.
This compartment of the safe is de-
signed to hold one hundred pounds of
radium valued AT 5000, 0oon0 The total
weight of the safe is one and half
tons.

Pickett Picked
The Pockets
DUSkY PORTER AT CITY BARBER
,8 SHOP THEN LEAVES SUDDENLY
n FOR THE SUNNY SOUTH TO
III SEE DEAR OLD MOTHER

Henry Pickett, the dusky porter at
the City Barber Shop, located in the
Tompkins block on lower Main street,
has gene back to Dixie. Pickett left
during Friday night and sent word to
mis-. employer that he was hurriedly
scP.lled south throdgh the serious ILL
ness of his old mother down where the
cotton blossoms blow. Before starting
on his sad mission southwark, Henry
tapped the till at the shop, securing
the sum of SO in small change; Bar
bers Duffy was sleeping on cot in the
rear of the shop and Henry extracted
Duffy's trousers from beneath his pill
loWS took therefrom SO in cash and
replaced the trousers without disturb
.ingllthe slumbers of Mr.. Duffy. He
then locked the shop, threw the key
in the we'll, and set out for the south
land.
Thus far no effort has been made to
locate Pickett, and the chances are
that he will be allowed to retain his
ill-gotten wealth.
