BROWN AGAIN GAINS
SHADE OVER MURPHY
Knockout Tears Through
Tommy's Defense and
Earns Verdict.

New York, May 12-Knockout
Brown bested Harlem Tommy Murphy
for the second time in a hurricane ten
round battle in the ring of the Whirl-
wind A. c. at Brooklyn last night 1t
was smuggling match from start TO
finish.
Murphy might have outboxed the
young fighting demon but for the very
good reason that Brown started rush
ing with the tap of the first bell and
never quit rushing until the last one.
At that Murphy gave the embryo
champion the best fight he has had
since he first came into prominence.
outside OF his two encounters with
Champion Ad Wolgast Murphy cen
tered his attack Browns nose and
kept plugging away at it in every
round. The sight of that red swollen
member was about the only thing that
gave the Harlemite's adherents ground
for the cheering they did.
The fact remains that Brown landed
two blows to Tommy's one and de-
served the verdict on aggressiveness
II on nothing else. Knockout had
Tommy backed up against the ropes,
covered up. half OF the time. They
were in that position at the final bell
man.
There were no knockdowns Brown
was pushed through the ropes once and
several times the strands saved Murphy
from a like fate.

THAT there are many difficulties

apparent. To adjust the rates Of

OF railroad rate regulation in this
country is in a confused, complex

believe that government ownership

a necessary or advisable solution.
But it will doubtless be necessary
that we should cut and dry many

upon the correct policy for dealing

BUILT CAR RIAGE
BUT NOT A Gun
New Defensive Weapon Made
at Rock Island Arsenal
Uses Six Founder.
CAN BE SHOT INTO AIR
Gun Pointer, by Aid of Special Sight
ing Device Looks in Hori-
zontal Direction.

THE report that a gun has been
built here at the arsenal to fight air
ships is untrue" said Colonel Burr,
commandant at the arsenal yesterday
In conversation with an Argus report
er apropos of the information contain
ed in the Associated Press dispatch
es in last nights Argus. All we built
here was the carriage as the gun used
Is six-pound one of exactly the same
type as is in service on all our sea
coast Notifications. The chief thing
Of interest in connection with this
carriage is that it is designed to shoot
up in the air while the ordinary gun
can be pointed upward at only a
slight angle. With the ordinary gun
the man who does the firing lies on
his stomach to sight while with the
new carriage the gunner can sit down
as the gun is fitted with special tele-
scopic sights so that the gunner can
look in a horizontal direction while
the gun is pointed vertically.
PATH OF SHOT MARKED.
With the ordinary gun the marks
man can tell whether he is shooting
short of the target or beyond it by the
dirt kicked up by the shell. Now in
shooting into the air this method of
ascertaining the relative accuracy of
aim is not available. We finally solv-
ed the problem by attaching tracers
TO the projectiles used. In the day
time these leave trail of smoke and
at night they leave path of fire.
We have tested the contrivance on
several different occasions here, the
last test being at the time GenN~"'
CroZier was here. OF course We could
not direct its aim into the air as there
is always the danger of some one in
tercepting the projectile in its down
ward course with fatal results so We
were obliged to confine our efforts to
testing its ability when pointed in
horizontal position. The carriage will
be shipped TO Sandy Hook where II
will be given a real test
