FOR BIGGEST BETTLESHIP
Navy May Build Fighting Ma
chine of $4,000 to 10000 Tons.

IBv Telegraph 10 The Tribune
Washington. Aug. 26.-Increase in the
displacement Of future American battle
ships will be one of the important ques-
tions naval officers will be called upon
TO determine in the near future. There
are indications that an effort will be
made 10 bring the displacement up to
5000 tons and it is even intimated that
the ADVANTAGES Of a +O.O00-ton type will
be strongly urged. The cost Of the pro-
POSED ship Will be about $l5,0O0O0O, and
il would be- of course. the most powerful
lighting machine afoat. When il is
considered that the Utah. which will
soon be in commission, has a displace-
ment OF u SO tons and carries ten T.
inch guns, the proposed ship at $1,000
tons, with ten 16-inch guns. as its main
battery, shows the great departure from
present construction. Ii is thought
there are enough friends Of the service
IN Congress TO secure an authorization
Of the ship. in case il is decided TO rec
Ommend it for future construction. The
practicability Of the 16-inch gun has yet
10 be determined. but naval ordnance
officers will be able 10 settle the question
Of its use without difficulty.

SHELL BEATS AEROPLANE
New Naval Gun Sends Charge

DESIGNER, REAR ADMIRAL
Test at Government Proving
Grounds Successful-Expect
Shot to Garry 7 Miles.

Washington. Aug 26.-Aeroplanes fly

naval gun. at the Indian Head. Nd,
proving grounds, to-day surpassed in its
altitude achievment the best records of
the flying machine by more than a mile.
II was announced that both the new
weapon and its carriage had proved
eminently satisfactory.
The experiments with the new gun,
destined 70 destroy the flying squadron

to-day. but viii be pursued again when
the ordnance experts now at work on an
improved sighting apparatus have per-
fected their plans.
The maximum range Of $1,000 feet was
reached in to-day's tests, during which
fifty rounds were fired, and when the
gun was elevated at an angle II s5 de-
grees. For ten thousand feet the shot
sped with accuracy. Beyond that dis
tance some of its velocity was lost by
reason OF the air currents, and the shell
dropped into the Potomac fifteen hun
dred feet away from the spot at which
the experts had expected il 20 fall. Com
mander J. II. Holden was in charge Of
the trials.
The carriage feature ot the weapon
has been perfected. according 70 the
opinion expressed after to-day's trials
by Rear Admiral Nathan G. Twining,
chief OF the Naval Bureau of Ordnance
and designer Of the new gun. Valuable
information has also been obtained. he
added. al the three days trial at Indian
Head upon which TO base the design of
a sight for the aerial gun.
Naval ordnance experts believe that a
three-inch gun. which viii be developed
from this one FOUNDER. will shoot seven
miles. or 36.960 feet. into the air. Be
fore long. they said. American warships
will be equipped with another battery OF
guns 20 fight any hostile invaders who
may come by the upper story route.
Developments In the invention Of de-
vices for disturbing the equanimity OF
aerial travellers on mischief bent arc
being recorded more rapidly than ad-
vancements can be noted In the sta
bility and control Of flying machines.
The new weapon. which Ike the ma
rine torpedo, is self-propelling. can be
fred from drgible or aeroplane
AGAINST n hostile balloon without dis
turbing the stability Of the machine.
The percussion device. which is neces-
sarily far more delicate than that used
IN regular artillery. is locked 10 prevent
premature explosion, the lock releasing
only when the torpedo has attained a
certain speed OF rotation.

DARING H0LD-UP
IN WIN00SKI STORE
Two Negroes Pointed Revolvers at Pro-
prietor and Clerk and Then Fled
With Over 500.

WinoosRi, Oct 1.-two robbers held
up Henry Desautel and Joseph Gingras
| In the formers store at 0:45 last night
aud rifled the cash register of more than
500, afterwards disappearing while the
startled proprietor and his clerk still
kept their hands above their heads, rs
they had been commanded to do. The
robbers are described as negroes, wear
ing army overcoats, with collars turned
up about their faces.
Another clerk, Mr.. Patnaude, did not
brave the battery Of guns, but scam
pered out the back door of the store and
across to the store of j. b. +. Chevrier.
From here the first alarm of the robbery
was given, and few minutes later four
guards from the post armed to the
teeth, were galloping toward Winooski.
From Chevrier's store, also. the alarm
to the Winoosh police was given.
While the big black negro, wearing a
mustache, was leveling the shooters at
Desautel and Gingras, and while Desau-
tel heard his cash jngling into the bag
of the other negro, the store proprietor
kept saving; "Don't shoot. Don't shoot.
The negro wore diabolical smile.
When they had cleaned tine cash register
the negro with the guns, still smiling,
ordered Desautel and Gingras to go 10
the back of the store. "Now keep your
mouth shut" he said, and the negroes
left.
TO the Winooski police, Desautel adj
mitted that he was frightened. His rec
objection of the negroes is vague. Moth
ing but their faces appeared peering
from out the overcoat collars, he said.
Both men appeared about i've feet ten
inches tall. He did not know whether
the negroes wore full army uniform
or not. as the coats reached nearly 20
their heels When the men ordered the
steak, neither Desautel or Gingras gave
particular attention TO them When the
guns appeared, they were too frightened
to apprhend.
Late last evening and early this morn
ing the whole force Of Winoosli and
the guard from the post s<irmished NAL
let's Bay avenue and the whole Winoos-
ki flats Officers Wardwell and Barber
arrived early at Desautel's place, and
with them they brought two troopers.
Neither Desautel or Gingras could iden-
tify Them Prom store near by Officer
Barber found two more negroes, but
these were also strangers to Desautel.
The sergeant of the post guard upon
arriving offered to search all the negro
resorts IN Winooski. They asked that
Desautel and Gingras go with them, but
neither cared to 60, The guard then re-
turned to the post.
Last night was pay night in Winoosh,
the night when the mill workers pay
their weekly GROCERY bills. DesautePs
cash drawer was brimming over with
change and paper money Of small de-
nominations, there being over 800 Here,
also, was an order from the oyerseer OF
the poor. The robbers took everything,
even to the pennies. Not even crumb
of comfort was left.

NOMINAL FINES IMPOSED.
Burlington Merchants Who Gave Short
Weight Were Only Careless.

Burlington. Oct l4.--Three of the five
cases for violation of the new weight
and measure law were tried yesterday in
city court before Justice r, w. Taft
and convictions followed the trial of all
three, the pleas In all cases amounting
to that Of guilty. The violation in each
case was apparently one of carelessness
on the part of employees, rs in no case
was the merchant himself the one to
give the short weight
c. II. Ellis was the first up and be said
that he didn't know whether or not any
short weights had been given in his store,
but il they had IL was due to the care
lessness OF the clerks He had instructed
them carefully and supposed that they
were living up TO the law. Inspector
Moher said that he bought the goods OF
one of the clerks.
In the case of Adelina Saitus, plea Of
guilty was entered by her husband, who
evidently through ignorance, did not
measure the goods up to the new stand
ard. Jerry 0Brien. who was the last
up, entered a plea of not guilty but had
no attorney and only wanted an oppor-
tunity to tell his story. 1t seems that
in O'Brien's store the customer was
charged only with the amount pur-
chased, but o'Brien was found guilty,
nevertheless, as the customer had asked
for two quarts and bought and paid for

night, and searching parties were to

On cross examination, Fraser said that
he did not see the body turned over. He
