CRUISER rs UNSUITABLE.
Compressed Air System Will Keep
North Carolina Afloat.

Portsmouth, New Hamp.-A COM
pressed air system designed to make
the vessel practically unsuitable is be-
ing installed on the armored cruiser
North Carolina at the Portsmouth
navy yard under direction of Captain
c. c. Marsh, commanding the vessel.
Captain Marsh believes that the ap-
paratus would keep the cruiser afioat
in case of a collision with an iceberg
such as sank the Titanic or any SIM
liar accident which might damage her
hull. The principle, Captain Marsh
said, is the creation of such an air
pressure within the vessel that water
cannot enter. That is, if the hull
should be punctured, the compartment
affected would Immediately be filled
with air driven at such pressure as to
force the water away from the vessel
and keep it out until temporary re-
pairs could be made.

No Decision in peitz Case

Madison, Wis. Contrary to ex-
pectations, the supreme court did not
hand down a decision in the appeal of
John Deitz, the Cameron Dam defend
er, for new trial. Dietz is now serv-
ing life sentence in the state peni-
Tertiary at Waupun for the murder
of Oscar Harp, deputy, who was sent

months ago. The plea was based on
the fact that the Wisconsin outlaw
had acted as his own attorney when
his case was first tried.

With succor only five miles away,
the Titanic slid into its watery grave,
carrying with it 1000 OF it's passen-
gers and crew, while an unidentified
steamer that might have saved all

The engine power machines are US
