There are IA of the largest guns

These monster guns will have a
bore of Ia inches, the new caIiber
which congress has authorized for
the heavy batteries of the two battle
ships, New York and the Texas, now
building at New York and Norfolk.
Each of the new "dreadnoughts" will
have 10 of these big guns. Several
battleships in the United States navy
are equipped with 13-inch guns, but
the standard bore today is only IL
inches.
When the guns have been completed
they will each represent an expendi-

costing $74,7OO, and the mount APP

the cost of the heavy batteries of the

 At the age of IA he entered Clinton academy at Easthampton, where he spent three years preparing for col- lege.R At F he went to Yale and was graduated in 1s3s After a year spent at home, he attended the Yale Law school for one year.
 In 1856 MT. Hedges helped to found the Republican party and ever since it's beginning had been one Of it's most loyal supporters He was elect ed district attorney of. Suffolk coun- ty in 1862, and was reelected in 1864.

NO VOTE ON LICENSE
 IN NEW HAVEN NOW
Selectmen Finally Decide Petition Has Not Required Signatures and Matter up to Superior
 Court.

New Haven, Sept. 27-The se1ectmen decided last evening after a strenuous nights work. that the petition for a vote on the license question had not the required number of legal sigma lures, and could mot, therefore, be in- corporated in the call. for the cleo tion. This means that there will be no vote on the subject this year, un- less the Superior court issues writ of mandamus compelling the select men to insert the matter in the call. It is highly improbable that the court will take any such action, for it is generally conceded by legal authority that the stand of the body is impreg- nable, and that their decision is final. At any rate, it appears that there will be small chance of aSSafling the decision upon point of fact at least.
 According to the temperance people the selectmen in accepting the advice of Corporation Counsel K1einer that only the 1910 list should be regarded in establishing a mans right to vote, left loophole for an appeal. They will attack the cOntestability of this point. on the ground that many mems Lames appear on the list of 1909 who are legal voters, and yet do not appear on the 1910 list through no fault of theirs. perhaps.
 The German-An1ericaR Alliance of this city, at its regular monthly meet ing last night. decided to request every German voter of this city to show the same unity at the election next Tuesday, as on German Day, August ', and vote for license if nec- essary to prova that every German voter is absolutely against any at tack upon personal liberty conducted in an honest manner
 This covers the action of 7 German societies in New Haven.

New Layout of Grounds I'm
 proves the Midway

The space in the rear of the grand stand will be entirely clear, no fakirs or other stands being allowed in that portion of the grounds. This will be a much appreciated improve ment, as it will accomplish three ends. The public will have more room to roam about, the general appear ance of the grounds will be greatly improved by the change and there will be no more barking and other stand, and to make difficult the hear. ing of tho race announcer's voice.

 A new street will run from the administration building to the new automobile building. This street will be thirty feet in width at the east end, and sixty feet wide at the auto mobile building.
 The fong restaurant building which stands in the center of the present Midway, is to be moved about seven ty-five feet to the southwest, to a position on the corner of one of the new Midway blocks.
 The main road into the grounds for automobiles and carriages is also changed Instead of making a pro- nounced curve towards the grand stand, at it's beginning, it will run straight across to the exhibition horse barns.
 Nearly a dozen new wells will be located in easily accessible places. in various parts of the grounds.

LORIMER SCORES
 IN FIRST ROUND
Nugget Special Service.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.- The senate committee hearing the charges against Senator Loirmer of Chicago, had two witnesses on the stand today trying to find out what they knew about the hundred thousand dollar fund raised to secure his cleo tion.
 Both men stated under oath that they knew nothing about the fund. These two men are prominent members of the legislature and managers for Lorimer who were supposed to have promised the hundred thousand dollars that was to be divided among a certain number of the state legislators should Lorimer be elected. This is the reason the senator is now under investigation for securing his seat in the senate by fraud. Lorimer has scored a point in his favor in the first round of the in- vestigation.
 If all the other witnesses to be heard by the committee give no greater dam aging testimony than the men today he will be allowed to retain his seat in the senate and Robert LaFollette will have to suffer a stinging defeat, for it was through his efforts the senate decided to investigate.

SAN PEDRO, June 2s.-The govern ment dredging going on here in the harbor has caused eleven houses to topple into the bay without any warn ing. except a few hours.
 The harbor which is onfined to a very narrow channel at the present time. is being widened and dredged to a considerable depth by the large sue tion dredge installed by the govern ment and this morning the embank- ment to the south of the San Pedro railroad toppled into the bay, taking half the lots with them. The govern ment will have to onstruct levee or retaining wall and replace the houses lost by being undermined. The dredge which is working several hun dred feet from the embankment that slid into the bay, hcl no idea that a slide extending way inland would oc- cur. but the ground being what is termed tide flats filled in years ago has little or no solid foundation.
 A retaining wall will have to be con- structed at once or several acres of made land is liable to side into the bay.
