Francis A. Pope. the engineer officer in
charge of the work of removing the

employed in the work have found the
long-missins forward turret of the Maine,
containing two ten-inch guns and
mounts, deep in the mud about forty feet
away from the bed of the main wreck.
According to reports the divers were en-
gagged in removing the shattered rem

for the purpose of restoring the harbor
to its normal depth and condition The
divers found the turret right side up with
the guns in place. forty feet distant from

Finding of Barbette.

The strangest thing about the discovery
OF the missing turret is that the engineers
in driving the first piles for the Golfer
dam. found the top of the turret shorn of
all rivets 12j feet from the place it occu-
pied on the ship. When the water and
mud We're removed and the ships bottom
revealed the barbette was found near the
ships side. twenty-five feet aft of its po-
sitiO non the vessel. and overturned. This
led to the belief that the turret with the
guns was under the barbette in the mud.
In the view of the local officials, the
newly found turret is likely to prove a
white elephant. 1t weighs about 200 TONS
and is described as a worthless mass of
iron. the guns being corroded as well as
obsolete in design, and being valuable
only as relics.

BLONDE |SAbDUCTED
Mrs. George Burke Carried
Away by an Admirer.
BELLE OF THE MUM SHOW
Bandit Slashes Her Dress, Then
Flees, Concealing Her Under
His Coat.

The abduction Of Mrs. George Burke. a
stately. sun-kissed blonde and a glorious
belle of the chrysanthemum show, from
the greenhouse of the propagating gar
dens of the Department of Agriculture.
yesterday evening, is stirring no end of
gossip.
There is utter ignorance as to the iden-
tity of her abductor Whether the culprit
is an ardent admirer who chose to seize
her for his own by methods known to the
cave man or a ruthless bandit who would
hold her for ransom. is merely conjecture.
Whether she went willingly or under
duress is equally matter for speculation
Not one of the chaperons can give ex-
PLANTATION of dereliction from duty which
made the event possible. Not an attend
ant saw Mrs. Burke carried through the
one exit from the greenhouse, nor heard
any disturbance that might excite Sus-
picion. The entire affair is shrouded in
impenetrable mystery.
Theory as to Disappearance.
Discovery was made of the absence Of
Mrs Burke from the receiving line after
closing time, when there was count OF
noses to see that all were present and ac-
counted for. The theory is that she dis
appeared an hour earlier. at about
o'clock, when the crowd was thickest-
Its members, it is probable, covered the
retreat of the abductor.
That the abductOr flOurished knife at
his victim there is reason to credit. A
sharp blade was used to cut away the
dress of the lady where it had become en-
tangled in a chrysanthemum stalk. From
this it is presumed that she resisted seiz-
ure.
The abductor is supposed to have con-
cealed her under a coat or perhaps his
coat Even so, her bulk-for she is of a
Junoesque type-should have excited at
tention, but. strangely enough, seems not
to have done so.
Was Much Admired.
Mrs. Burke was much admired for her
grace and loneliness Her profuse golden
hair was her greatest attraction. She has
been seen in mum social circles for some
time and has always been regarded as
one of the most charming of all the beau
tiful blossoms. Her fate concerns many
friends who await information regarding
- with anxiety.
The attendance at the chrysanthemum
show yesterday ran away over anything
that has ever been recorded. There were
hours This Is double the attendance OF
any one day of any other show, and LOCO
more than Tuesday of this week, the
previous record day.
The crowd was so vast that there was
great difficulty in providing all with OPP
portunity to view the flowers. The line
stretched way out into the street from
the greenhouse. where the exhibit Is
held, and moved slowly.

Attachment Long Known.
Mrs. Thomas J. Preston. mother Of the
professor. said in her home in South
Orange, N. j.. that although she had been
surprised when told that the engagement
had been announced. she had known all
along of the attachment
I'VE all have known Mrs. Cleveland for
a long time,'' she explained. land it is
needless for me to add that We are de-
voted to her. Thomas first met her in
1906 and was attracted to her at once be-
cause of her highly artistic nature. You
know. Thomas is an artist.
After my son left Columbia University
he entered business and was meeting with
unusual success when his artistic tenden-
cies got the better of him and he gave
up his work and went abroad. There he
studied.
, First Meeting in Princeton.
''On his return to America he took a
two-year course in Princeton. and 1t was
while there that he met Mrs. Cleveland.
Their tastes drew them together. and it
was not long before they were aware of
the true state of affairs l. too recog-
nized they were deeply in love with each
other. Mrs. Cleveland is one Of the most

he would resign from the Wells College
faculty. He was overwhelmed with con-
CALCULATIONS when the college girls

PUBLIC Drinking CUPS
BARRED TO TRAVELLERS
Secretary Macveagh's Order
Banishes Them From Cars,
Stations and Steamboats,.

| Beginning today the use OF public
drinking cups on common carriers en-
gagged in interstate traffic or in stations
| used by passengers travelling from one
state to another Is prohibited as the re-
| suit of the signing by Secretary Mac
Veagh Of the Treasury of an amendment
| to the interstate quarantine regulations.
In the case of the District Of Columbia
the enforcement Of the new regulation
will mean that hereafter there will be no
common drinking cups at the Union sta
ton or in the stations of the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis railway, the
Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway, or
any other line leading into the District.
Nor will there be any public drinking
cups in the cars of any of the railroad or
electric lines entering the District. The
regulation also affects the steamboat
lines, and hereafter the tin cups chained
to the big painted water barrels on the
river steamers will be a thing Of the
past
The New Regulation.
The new regulation is an amendment to
paragraph 13 Of the interstate quarantine
regulations It provides that common

interstate traffic, or in the depots, wait
ing rooms or other places used by Pas

the use of drinking cups. glass vessels
which are thoroughly cleansed by wash

individual, nor shall 1t be held to pre-
clude the use Of sanitary devices for in

fine of $500 is provided for failure to
abide by the regulation.
Prohibited in Twenty-Six States.
Already twenty-six states prohibit the
use of common drinking cups in railroad
trains or depots. public schools and
hotels. The first state to have such
regulation was Kansas. 1t became efrec-
tive in March, 1909. In October Of that
year Michigan and Mississippi put similar
regulations in force.
The germs of as many as fourteen dis
tinct diseases have been found on a single
public drinking cup. It was upon the
recommendation Of Surgeon General Blue
that Secretary MacVeagh issued the new
amendment to the interstate quarantine
regulations prohibiting the use of public
drinking cups.

Special to The Tribune
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 81
Following a suggestion by the Ri.
Rev. J. w. Shaw, bishop of the Catho-
lie diocese of San Antonio, the local
council of the knights of Columbus
is making preliminary arrangements
for the erection of club house here
to cost not less than 100000. Prop
erty on East Houston street purchas-
ed by the council is said to be ad-
mirably located for the purpose and
subscriptions to stock in the building
have been coming in rapidly since
the project first was preached. The
San Antonio Council is one OF the
largest in the state and strong enough
to own it's own building. Bishop
Shaw told the Knights:
1T is your duty to do this and if
you don't it will be a reflection not
only on yourself but the name of your
city as WELL"
The ninth annual convention Of the
Texas Knights of Columbus has just
closed in this city. 1t was largely
attended and an admirable program
was carried out.

GUNB0AT FOR
GREAT LAKES
Robert M. McWaoo.

Robert M. McWAoo.
Bismarck Tribune washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-After a
lapse of twenty tour years the navy
department -, enabled to put to prac-
tice use an appropriation of $260;O00
made by congress in an act passed
May 4, 1898, for the construction Of a
gunboat for the Great Lakes to replace
the Wolverine, then known as tie
Michigan. AIT that time the question
arose as to whether under the treaties
between the United States and Great
Britain We had he right to build tnis
gllnboat for this purpose, and is was
decided after a lot of stlilly+shallying
that it would be in violation of treaty
agreements to do so. Accordingly, the
tiny warship was not built; and as
the appropriation was for that specific
object, no other use COULD be made OF
1T. Now, tine Naval authorities have
decided to ask congress to authorize
the expenditure of the money for the
construction of a light-draft gunboat
for use on the Chinese rivers and in.
Land waterways. There are many on
which our small gunboats, out there
now, cannot navigate, the British
boats, like the ,Moorhen, being the
only foreign warships THAT are able to
do so; and it is necessary for the pro-
lection of American interests In the
interior of the Chinese Republic that
we have boats of exceedingly light
draft to terrorize or capture river
pirates who infest those sections, the
department has made this move.
