Stops Here with Frank
Manning.
MURDER WAS ATTEMPTED

Deputy Sheriff Burns of Kalamazoo.
Mich, brought one of the most danger
GUS men ever wanted in that city.
through Richmond last night. This
man was q huge moulder naxled Frank
Manning, who Is wanted for attempt
at murder on railroad man at Kala-
mazoo named Berry,. Manning Is al
legged to have stabbed q railroad man

several deep gashes on his face. Burns
got Manning at Newark, Ohio, where
he had been working In one of the big
stove boundaries at that place. He
made his escape from the Michigan
city Immediately after the trouble.
The assault Of Berry was a sensa-
tional one. There were over 40 mould
ers in Kalamazoo saloon. There was
an argument which almost resulted in
q fight. when Berry in the role of a
peace maker asked all of them up to
have q drink, saying they should not
fuss"
The trouble seemed to be over and
Berry walked to the rear of the saloon.
With q cry of rage the big moulder
leaped on Berry with his knife and
cut him down. The moulders in the
front of the saloon parted and let the
criminal escape. He was first arrested
in Newark for carrying concealed
weapons.

ADVISERS APPOINTED
TO HELP SECRETARY
Old Red Tape in Navy Depart

and the Operations Are Now
Quite Simple.
~ JONATHAN WINFIELD.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Secretary OF
the Navy Meyer, has been inspecting
the Western and Southern navy yards
and the naval station at Guantanamo.
Cuba, with q view to studying the
workings OF his reorganization plan
and learning what measures. IL any.
may be necessary to perfect his
scheme for securing the greatest ef-
ficiency OF the huge Navy machine.
together with the greatest possible
economy in effective operation.
Secretary Meyers business training
has given him special qualifications
for putting the affairs of the Navy in
order. but he has realized at the same
time. 1t is said that the Navy Is by no
means q business concern. 1t exists
for military efficiency. and the whole
plan Of the so-called Meyer reorgani-
cation" keeps this end steadily in
view.
The cardinal points OF Secretary
Meyers plan are these:

First, The appointment Of four re-
sponsible advisers. who are to keep
the Secretary fully informed upon the

Second. The grouping Of the bu-

Third. The establishment Of . per

Fourth. The creation Of uniform 8

entirely from the manufacturing and
repair departments.
Fifth. The division of Navy yard
work into two distinct classes; hull
and machinery.
Take for example. the building Of a
ship under this system. First the d.
vision of operations which includes
the general board, originates the mil.
itary features. the primary object for
which the vessel il to exist. These are
then referred to the technical bureaus
for sketches. plans. etc. The subject
then goes before the general board,
which, In turn, summons officers who
are experts In engineering. ordnance
and other branches. to give their ad-
vice. Finally. after the plans have
been approved by the Secretary, they
are handed over to the Bureau of Con-
struction and repair, which is to car
ry out the actual building. In this
way the officers who will have to navi-
gate and fight the ships are given as
nearly as possible the sort of q ves-
sci which their experience has taught

TO DAM MISSISSIPPI
Water Power Structure Cost
ing SIS, 600, GOO to Be
!, Built .at Keokuk.
SEVEN EIGHTHs MILE LONG

Kansas City. Nov. 5.-A dam is be-
ing built across the Mississippi river
and no longer will the entire energy
of that stream be expended in wash
ing its own channel or in creating new
ones. The water is to be held in a
big lake near Keokuk. Ia, and It will
not be allowed to continue In its
course until it rushes against the pad
dies of water wheels and gives part
of its energy to creating electricity,
which in turn will help to do the work
of the world.
Work on the dam has been startetd
1t will be finished in two and a half
years and it is estimated that the
force of the water passing over the
dam will generate 100000 horse pow
er for use day and night.
Near Keokuk the water dashes over
Ave miles Of rapids. Beneath the wat
er there is a solid layer Of natures
masonry. The dam 10 being built at
the lowest part of the rapids. A high
bank adjoins the rapids on the west
side. On the east side the land is
low. but the hills are not far on. The
dam will have to be extended to the
hills.
Dimensions Of the Dam.
The dam will be seven-eighths OF a
mile long. 1t will be thirty-seven feet
high from the bed Of the river and
foFty-three feet wide at its base. On
top of the spill way will be placed
116 steel hoodgates, which will be sup
ported by concrete piers. eight feet
wide and eleven feet high. A bridge
win be built ON top Of the piers From
the bridge the gates can be closed or
opened by electric machines The
gates will be thirty feet wide and
eleven feet high. BY manipulating the
gates the level Of the water above the
dam can be kept at the same height
In drought or Hood. One-half million
cubic yards Of masonry, .one-half mill
lion barrels Of cement and seven
thousand tons Of steel will be used in
the construction of the dam. 1t win
be made Of concrete, locked firmly In
the rock bed of the river. Fifteen hun
4 -
dred men will be employed in build
ing it.
The electric power house where
the energy of the water will be turn
ed into electricity il to be 1.40O feet
long, 123 feet high and 133 feet wide
In this power house there win be thir-
ty generating units, each capable of
developing 1888 1-3 horse power.
The lake above the dam will be for
ty miles long. The rocks underlying
the rapids viii be buried In the bot
tom of this lake. These rapids al

OF $500 FOR
EDWARD A. LEACH.

A verdict for 500 VS. returned in
favor of Edward A. Leach in his suit
for $1,000 damages against the Public
Service Railway Company before Judge
Adams in the Supreme Court yester-
day.
Leach was assaulted by Robert ].
Cairns, jr, a conductor on the Orange
Crosstown line, on November 2S. 1905.
Leach alleged that he and wife and
child attempted to board a car at North
Park street on Day street. They en-
tered the front door, the conductor OBJ
Jected, and told them to get off and
come in the back door. This Leach re-
fused to do, and Cairns pushed him of
the car. Cairns was tried and CON
victed of assault and battery, and was
fined 500. Harold Blake, for the troll
ley company; admitted liability, but
fought the case to mitigate the amount
of damages.
