BOAT HIT BY
ITS OWN MISSILE
Shot Launched by Dynamite Cruises
Reacts.
BOAT WAS PROMPTLY Reached
Many Of the Crew and Fifty Seamen
ImperiIed by Water thrush
Through Gap in Side Of
Vessel.

Newport, r. l., May 20.-The
torpedo boat Vesuvius was struck BY
one of its own torpedoes today and
was beached on Hope Island, Nara.
gansett bay, when the lives of those
on board seemed imperiled, by the
waters which rushed in through a
two-inch hole astern.
The Bleaching of the Vesuvius was
safely accomplished by Chief Gun
ner Thomas Smith, the commanding
officer. Besides the regular crew,
fifty seamen gunners we're on board.
At low tide the vessel was high and
dry but 1t is hoped to pull her off at
high tide tomorrow. The VesuVius,
which is a dynamite cruiser. famous
as one Of the first vessels of the
new navy" was being used for tor
pedo instruction in Narragansett
bay. AS a practice whitehead tor
pedo left her side the mechanism
went awry in some manner not yet
determined. The torpedo turned
like a boomerang and crushed Into
the Vesuvius astern below the water
line, gashing a two-inch hole.
Hammocks, blankets and other
we're used in trying to patch
up the hole, but the vesuvius began
to settle astern and a call for help
was sent out by wireless.
Smith ordered full speed ahead
toward the nearest land, Hope IS
land. two miles away. All pumps
we're kept working until the vesu-
vius ran her nose into the beach,
The crew massed ip the bow, out Of
reach of the water. while the wire
less operator notified the torpedo
station.

GAS MACHINERY BOUGHT
10 he SHIPPED AUGUST !

From the Manhattan papers the
Reflector gathers an item that vii
be OF interest to Abilene relative to
the gas plant. Mr.. J. J. Donelan has
Just returned from an eastern trip
of ten days, where he has been pur-
chasing the central apparatus and
trying to arrange an early delivery
of the machinery for the plants at
Concordia and Abilene. This means
that the company is laying their
plans for early work on the Abb
lene plant and shows that they are
not sleeping on the job, but mean
business. They hope to have their
plant ready for early fall use which
will please, Abileneites greatly.
Ever since the ordinance was pass
ed and published people have been
asking about the plant. They are
anxious to see II started and also
to get the gas as well. One or two
have laughed and said that the
company was only bluffing, but they
are going to get fooled as the Man
haitian Gas company does not seem
to be doing business on fooling
basis. From their actions and rec
they are going to
have the ball rolling in Abilene be-
tore many weeks and they cannot ]
start any, too soon to please the
business men and majority of the t
citizens of this city. 1

Great Falls. Mont, Aug. 12.-The
opening Of Fort Peck reservation in
eastern Montana next month will mark
The last big opening of agricultural
land in the United States. Six new
towns will be started On the big land
area.
The uncccupied land On the reser-
walton which can be used for farming
purposes is 1,345,O00 acres; and it is
estimated by agricultural experts that
when this land is cultivated by white
settlers il will add about 10000, OO3
more bushels Of grain TO the nations
annual production.
On the superstition that the unoc-
cupied land were devoted TO the grow
ing OF wheat on the summer fallow
plan which would mean that one-halr
the area would be in crop at one time.
and on the further suppos;,lon tnat
the wheat would yield twenty-five
bushels per acre, which is a moderate
estimate for yields on lands thus pre-
pared, the aggregate production
would be 19.312.500 bushels" says
Prof. Thomas Shaw, the agricultural
expert III this land were entirs:y de-
voted to the growing of barley on the

MAJORITY WILL
MARCH AS USUAL
Comparatively Few Moline IN
ions to Boycott the Labor
Day Parade.
IN ROCK ISLAND THIS YEAR
Industrial Home Association Takes No
Action, Leaving Locals TO De-
eide on Course.

While some Of the local unions have
decided 10 remain out Of the parade
20 be held Labor day in Rock Island
Il is believed that the majority of the
.22 unions afiliating with the Moline
Industrial Home association will be
found in line as in other years. This
is the belief of Grant Petersen, secre-
tary Of the Home association. 4 short
meeting OF the association was held
Monday evening but no action with
reference &c participation in the pa
radc was taken, this being q matter
for the individual locals TO decide.
OBJECT TO PROTESTS.
Protests made by some Rock Island
unions against non-uniou banners on
merchants floats in last years Labor
day parade II Moline is given as the
reason for action by such Moline un-
lens as have decided against partici-
pating in the parade in Rock Island
this year. The trouble, however, acl
cording to the view Of labor leaders,
Is not likely TO lead to any change in
the time honored arrangement by
which tri-city unions cooperate in the
celebration of labor's holiday.
