effect to the department and the dis
patch further stated that as a result
Of the alleged report a board of naval
experts had been ordered west TO make
further tests of the Golfers coaIIng
equipment
1t was stated at the Navy Department
yesterday afternoon that the time has
not yet been determined for the trials
OF the Jupiter. and that no report such
as was mentioned in the San Francisco
dispatch had been made to the depart
ment, nor had any board of experts
been ordered to the coast to make tests
The Jupiter was built at the Mare
Island navy yard. and is unique not
only among United States naval Golfers,
but those OF the navies OF the world

AGAINST ISLAND REBELS
United States will Back Es-
tabIiShed Government in
Santo Domingo.

Assurances that this government is in
favor of the established government in
Santo Domingo. and opposed to revolu-
ton there, were given to DR.. Francisco
J. Peynado, dominican minister here. who
called yesterday at the State Department
and had {. long conference with Acting
Secretary Osbourne. and Boaz w Long.
head of the Latin American bureau, in
regard to the threatened outbreak i'm his
country.
He was told that the depa -tment in
tended to back up President Wilson's dec
laration, contained in the announcement
Of his Latin American policy early in his
administration that the United States is
for law and order and established gov
eminent. Hector Velasquez, one-time
provisional president of Santo Domingo
for short period. is believed to be the
real motive power behind the present
trouble. although his hand has not yet
been shown and no fighting, as far as
known has taken place.
Although the State Department has not
been officially informed of the closing of
the Dominican ports of Puerto Plata.
SANTANA, Sanchez and Sasha. it Is pointed
out here that such action would be nat
ural on the part of the Dominican au-
thorities to prevent the entry of war
dictionary movement which has broken
out at Puerto Plata. The American gun
boat Des Moines, which was on duty off
the Venezuelan coast, is now en- route
from Willemstad, Curacao, to Puerto
Plata, where she is due to arrive Mon
day.
Word came from the American consul
at None Cristi that the governor of the
province of Puerto Plata had declared
its independence.

GUNS FOR SUBMARINES.
Navy to Provide Additional Arma-
ment for Diving Craft.

After prolonged consideration it has
been determined that the submarl ne YES
sells of the United States Navy may DOS
sess an armament in addition to the sub
merged weapon, and that the three-inch
gun of much the same type of mechan-
ism as the Ehrhardt landing gun for
naval purposes will meet the require
ments of the situation. That gun will
be. mounted I'm a well in the submarines
and will be installed on an elevating ap-
paratus. which the gun is raised will
carry with it part Of the deck plating.
which will serve q metal covering
and protective shelter for the gunner.
who will also have a position on the
gun platform.
There will be device for lowering
the gun whenever it is necessary to car
ry it below deck. 1t will not disappear
by operation of it's recoil as in case of
the disappearing guns Of the coast de-
lenses. Every consideration has been
given to the question of saving weight
as far as may be, and the installatio
will be on the basis of sustaining a pres
sure of POD feet of submergence The
naval bureau of ordnance has placed

MARTHA GAVE UP HER $5.85
TO GET 0NE-THIRD OF $100
But Her New Found, Generous
Friends Did Not Come Back
With Her Change.

Giving up $685. to get one-third OF
500 and receiving nothing from two
men was the experience which Martha
Barnes, colored, of Fairfax county,
Va. reported to the police last night.
She said she was walking along 10th
street near Pennsylvania avenue when
she saw two colored men pick some
thing up from the sidewalk in front
of her. 1t was pocketbook. They
opened it, and Martha says it was just
bursting with yellow bills of large de-
nominations. Martha rolled her eyes
and tried to count. She had fallen
for the game
The two men then approached her
and told her they had found 500.
Think of it, 500! they said And,
what was more, since she had seen
them pick it up they would give her
one-third of 1t. Her eyes were bullying
by this time.
After lingering the alluring yellow
money for moment. pretending to
count 1t, one of the men said 1t would
be a hard matter to change the money
SO as to divide it evenly in three parts.
Then. she said, thought seemed to
strike him suddenly. and he asked
Martha II she had any change. Where
upon Martha trustingly put $3.50 into
his outstretched hand.
We'll be right back and give you
your share" the spokesman said. I'VE
Will have to go over to this barroom
and get some more change You Just
wait right here"
Martha waited. They never came
back. Then she told her troubles to
the police.

the loss Of novelty and surprise. once
regarded as the JOY of childhood. BY
the time the boys and girls of the pres
ent age reach twelve or fifteen they have
seen about all there Is to be seen, and
many know entirely too much of the
world for their own benefit.
Civilization is wonderful and benevo-
lent, but IT has nothing that could excel
the charm that came to the twelve
year-old boy Of the mountains when he
saw the sights of his first circus and

ing TOO much and always II Is In having
