DEATH OF ACTRESS MAY
BE MADE SUBJECT OF INQUIRY

Paris.-Paris does not accept the
published stories Of the death of Mile.
Lantelme as fully covering that ira
gedy. The brief statement was made
in the papers Monday, July oath, that
on the preceding night the fascinat-
ing and beloved actress had fallen
from one of the windows of her house
boat, L'Aimee, just as she had enter
ed the Rhine in Holland, intending to
proceed up the river to Cologne.
Mile. Lantelme was the hostess of a
party of friends, one Of its members
being her husband, NJ. Edwards, one
of the founders of the lie Matin, and
it IS pointed out that the reports of
the accident are inconclusive. There
are indications that a full inquiry
may yet be asked for.

which could shoot accurately a dis
tance of ten miles was considered re-
markable but the latest acquisition
to Uncle Sans armament will demol
ish any battleship or fort .fication
now in existence, at a distance of fif-
teen miles.
When it is considered that during
the civil war, only fifty years ago,
two miles was the greatest range pos
sibe with the guns in use at that
time, the range Of the new 14-inch
death dealers seems phenomenal.
These new guns will be mounted
on the largest of the new battleships,
the Texas and the New York, both of
which are of the Delaware type and
it is claimed that the perfection of
the guns will make these two ships
the most powerful and most to be
dreaded in the world. The new gun
is SO feet, 6 1-2 inches long and
weighs, stripped, 636 tons. The di-
ametter at the breech is Al inches
and at the muzzle "a inches. Each
one will cost $74.77O and the carriage
upon which the gun is mounted will
add $4,000 tothis price.
As the muzzle of the gun has a We
locity Of 1900 feet a second and the
/ power behind the projectile will drive
the latter at the rate of eight miles
n 25 seconds. The penetrating power
! ofthe 14-inch monster is II inches OF
| the best face-hardened steel at s
miles; lis at 10 miles; 10.7 at II
miles and 8 inches at 10 miles. The
projectile weighs 400 pounds, is 1-2
| feet in length and costs $3.50. 1t is
! loaded with a bursting charge of 40
pounds of "dunnite,' the most pow
! erful explosive known. The powder
charges used behind the projectile to
give it velocity consists of bags of
| 80 pounds each of smokeless nitrocel-
| lulOse.
The cost of these guns at first
sight appears immense, but when it
