Accused of FORGERY.

A young man named Boyd. who
has been working about the livery
barns the past month, was accused
of forging the name of DR.. Buell. to
a check the first of the week and in
looking up his record word came
from st. Clair, this state, to arrest
the man and hold him for the
Franklin County officials. 1t seems
that charge of forgery was pend
ing against him in that county and
that reward was out for his ar
rest. Marshal Willis took the young
man in Monday and notified the
Franklin Co. officials OF the arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Nick Cardwell, of
Franklin County, arrived on the
Burlington train No. 43 Tuesday
and departed with the prisoner on
No. 4 the same afternoon. 1t ap-
pears that the young mans troubles
began when he was accused of
forging some papers in Franklin
County about May oath last. He
had disappeared from that section
and would probably have staid out
OF trouble some time yet had he
not commenced his operations here.

A More Powerful Weapon Than That
Now In Use.
Some authentic details regarding the
new rife which Is shortly TO be issued
to the British regular troops are now
available, Its caliber will be some
what smaller than that Of the present
weapon, being .273 as against .303. 1t
will, however. have a much stronger
breech action. and this will enable a
heavier charge to be fired. while it will
have considerably longer range. The
muzzle velocity likewise will be CON
siderably greater, together with a fiat
ter trajectory. The rifle Ia TO be some
three and half inches longer than the
short rife now in use, and since the
bayOnet is not to be shortened this Is
claimed 10 be a decided advantage 10
the troops when It comes to fighting
at close quarters.
The brooch action OF the rifle now
issued has always been under some
suspicion and is regarded as weaker
than those used by continental armies
The new pointed bullet Will be used IN
the weapon. II is intended that In the
first place this rifle shall be issued to
the British troops in India. and then
viii come the turn of the troops at

mately the Indian native army will re-
ceive It. There Is no intention at the

NATIONAL ANTHEM DISPUTE.
Rayner lnsiets on THE Star Spangled

Rayner Insists on "The Star Spangled
Banner" Hepburn, my Country
After several months of failure to
reach the desired harmony Senator
Rayner Of Maryland and Senator Hey
burn Of Idaho are still unable TO settle
their dispute over the national anthem.
'"The Star Spangled Banner is the ma
tion's anthem, according to the Mary
lander. This Ia disputed by the west
erner, but he does not name any par
ticular song as his choice, merely pick
ing the field" Hepburn favors MY
Country, tbs Of Thee as the national
song, IT is said.
The dispute, which has been fought
out privately between the two senators
in the senate cloakrooms Off and on
since last winter, was provoked by
Rayners championing Of bill TO per-
petuate and preserve old Fort Henry,
which repulsed the British fleet In
1912. Senator Rayner's resolution re
cited that there the national anthem,
''The Star Spangled Banner" was born
Now, Hepburn did not question that
''The Star Spangled Banner was evok-
ed at Fort Henry, but he denied that
it was ever officially chosen as the na-
tional anthem.

NAVY TO HAVE
''HANGAR SHIP"
viii Be Parent Vessel For All
Kinds Of Air Graft.
ALSO MUST Be VERY FAST.
Idea Is Plan of Captain Chambers, In
Charge Of Nays Aerial Fleet.
Some officers Advocate Separate
Hydroplanes For Each Battleshp.

oOHS OTUCeTS AuNOCdNo SepdT dbS
Hydroplanes For Each BattIeshp.
The United States navy, according to
plans of Captain Washington |. Cham
bers, in charge of the navy's aerial
fleets, will have a hangar ship" a
kind of parent raft for the aeroplanes,
balloons and kites which the sea forces
will use.
Captain Chambers has filed a report
with the secretary Of the navy that
such hangar ship is necessary at
once, partly to test the real efficiency
Of aircraft in cooperation with naval
vessels and also because there is no
room aboard battleships or scout crl.iS-
ers for such air craft.
The first hangar ship, it is proposed,
shall be of size, cruising radius and
speed sufficient to enable it to main
tain its proper place with either a bat
tleship fleet or n fast scout cruiser
squadron. The idea is that aeroplanes
may he used far In advance of the
actual fighting units, in which case
they should. 1t is said, be carried on a
vessel attached to the scouts, rather
than the real fighters. On this ac-
count great speed will be necessary
for the hangar ship.
For Clear Upper Deck.
1t is proposed also that the hangar
ship will be of the oil burning type,
with turbine engines. 50 that the num-
ber and size of the smokestacks may
be materially lessened. Instead of
having any projections above its top
most deck, It is planned TO have this
deck clear of all obstruction.
The hanger strap is to be equipped
with a set of extra long booms, so
that hydroplanes may he swung over
board and started from the water and
picked up again on their return. This,
it is estimated. will require sixty or
seventy foot boom.
Hereafter all naval aeroplanes Of the
hydroplane type are to be equipped
with special devices and slings where
by they may be lifted from and to the
will, it is said, be made of cable pass
ing through eyebolts fastened in the
proper places IN the flying machines.
Other Plans Are Advocated
Captain Chambers plans for sepa-
rate ship for aeroplane use are not ac-
cepted unanimously in the navy. Many
of the older line officers believe that
the aeroplaDe is or should be a part of
a battleship's equipment.
The navy is now considering wheth,
er it should devote its attention eXclu.
sively to hydroplanes or purchase both
the water landing and ground landing
types. At the present time the type
best liked in the navy is the Wright
hydroplane, capable Of carrying two
men for long distances at forty TO fifty
miles an hour.
Captain Chambers said recently be
believed the hydroplane type so equip,
ped that 1t might land on and start
from the ground as well as water, was
the best, because congress was not like
ly to provide money enough to buy q
great many machines OF different kinds
If Captain Chambers plans for q
hangar ship are approved the navy de
partment will present estimates to con
gress in the next naval bill.

as well as politics played its share in
bringing about the move Even though
Woodrow Wilson Is governor of New
Jersey he was born in Virginia, and
the Virginians could not endure the
idea Of their beloved state being out
of the running in this presidential cam
paign when their old rivals, Ohio and
New York, are both represented with
candidates. With Wilson the Vir-
ginians see a fighting chance to hum

Listen to the Virginian's proud boast:
Three hundred and FIVE years ago, be-
fore my ancestors or your ancestors on

the regions that were some day to be

gave birth to POcahontas to the day
when Woodrow Wilson was presented
to the rest of the world by Virginia
yes, even till today. when future presi-
dents are lying In her cradles-her
progeny has been world famous. What
other state can present such a brilliant
array of men who have guided the ma
TONS affairs? First among them
stands George Washington, the Fa-
ther Of His Country. Had Virginia
not given him to her neighbors New
York and Ohio might not be in exist
ence today. Washington had two
terms. and the country also gave two
terms TO Thomas jefferson, James
Madison and James MOnroe-to each
of them, mark yOu-and well did they
guide the ship Of state, Vfrginia's fifth
president was John Tyler, who sue
ceeded TO the presidency upon the
death of Harrison. In the early days
of the country Virginia was looked
upon as the mother state, and who can
say that she did not supply good pres
idents? Alas, my friend, the struggle
over slavery changed the situation, and
no longer was Virginia called upon to
provide the nations chief executives.

Appointed Louisiana Collector by Lin

Many National Conventions.
William Pitt Kellogg, formerly gov
ernor of Louisiana and Abraham Lin
coins old friend, related recently some
of the incidents of the so called Bloom
tngton convention of 1896, in which
the Republican party was born. He
is one Of the few survivors of the 22G
delegates from Illinois who attended
that convention. Some say there are
only two of these delegates besides
Mr.. Kellogg living.
Abraham Lincoln was one of the
delegates. 1t was at this assembly
that he first gained prominence as a
public speaker. 1t was there that he
delivered what has come to be known
as his lost speeCh'-lost because there
were no stenographers to take it down
and because the newspaper reporters
were so entranced by the flow of
words that they neglected to take
notes.
I The Bloomington convention. it will
be recalled, developed from a gather
ing of Illinois, editors at Decatur on
Feb. %, 1856. This meeting of ed
itors, who were opposed TO slavery,
had been called for the purpose of
agreeing on a line of policy to be pur-
SIZED in the campaign the following
year. OF this group of editors Paul
Seiby, now of Chicago and who Mt
that time edited the Jacksonville Jour
nal, 10 the only survivor, Abraham

his nomination was not confirmed.
Becoming anxious about the matter
Mr.. Keadle came to Washington yes

nomination was not confirmed.
Apparently there was no objection
to his appointment and the whole
difficulty seems to have grown out
of a confusion of the names Of Will

have resulted in holding up Mr..
