OFFICER CLAIMS HUGE SUM
NAVY CAPTAIN ASKS PAY FOR
 INVENTION.
vent Accidents in Firing Big Guns.

Washington, April 2S.-More than $1 100000 figures in the claim of Cap tain John J. Knapp, U. S. N, as trus- tee. against the government for royal ties he says are due him for gas in jector now in use in the navy to pre- vent accidents known in naval circles as "flarebacks."
 The interest the navy officers are taking in the case is largely due to the fact that the government sets up as one of its defenses that the invention was simply work in the line of duty. There are other defenses set up by the government, as prior invention and anticipation but the first defense is the one most eagerly watched.
 Captain Knapp has interested with him in the invention Lieutenant Fred erick L. Sawyer, II. s. N, and George w. Dunn, a master mechanic in the Washington navy yard. Sawyer and Dunn assigned their claims to Captain Knapp.
 The attention of these men was called to the necessity of an invention for use on shipboard while firing heavy guns by the frightful accident on board the Missouri, April 13, 1904, when five officers and twenty-seven men were killed by the "fareback" which happened when a 12-inch turret gun was being discharged. At that time it was suggested to Captain Knapp that he have the patent taken out in the name of some other firm, in order that there should be no question about the financial benefits to be derived. He replied that he preferred to apply for a patent in his own name and fight the matter out in the open.

 The council has refused to vaeate an alley for the John Deere Flow com pany, which wants to erect an SS00,000 warehouse, and has also blocked need ed changes in the operation of cars on the street railway.
