LITTLE AMMUNITION.
Our Torpedo Boats Practically Useless
in Case of War.

Washington, July 25.-Discovery
that the torpedo boat f1otillas, in case
ter they had discharged 700 torpedoes,
they had discharged 700 torpedoes,
has aroused Representative Britten of
Illinois, Republican member of the
house naval affairs committee. That
number of torpedoes, according to Mr..
Britten, is the sole stock on hand in
the United States navy and the two
factories which manufacture the death
dealing engines can turn out only a
limited number each year. Mr. Brit
ten today announced his intention of
introducing bill appropriating $780,
600 to double the capacity of the
naval torpedo plant at Newport, r. l.
The Illinois member is recently re-
turned from a tour of inspection of
the Atlantic coast navy yards taken
with his fellow members of the house
committee. He declared that of the
stock of 700 torpedoes many are not
new and that their replacement would
be a serious problem in war time be-
cause of the limited capacity of the
two producing plants, one of which is
a private concern.
The navy's torpedo plant at New
port, Mr.. Britton said. has a capacity
of only 100 torpedoes a year. The
present private corporation under
twice that number per annum He
existing stock would necessitate high
pressure work by both plants to pro-
vide even a limited number of torpe-
does for the small craft and for the
torpedo tubes of the battleships and
cruisers

"BORAX" SMITH SUED.
Bankruptcy Started Against Head of
$500, 100000 Concerns.

San Francisco. July 25.-The tan
gled affairs of F. M. Smith, the ''borax
king and head of a two Hundred mil
lion dollar string of corporations, we're
taken into the bankruptcy court yes
terday when four creditors of the
financier. with claims amounting to
$155,00O filed a petition in the United
States circuit court asking that Mr..
Smith be declared an Involuntary
bankrupt.
The petition declares that prior to
May 5, when a committee was APP
pointed to- act as trustees in managing
Mr.. Smiths affairs. he, conveyed with
out money consideration properties
valued at 81 100000 to the Mercantile
Trust company. to B. f. Edwards and
to his wife. at a time when he was in
solvent. These transfers. it is alleged
in the complaint constitute acts of
bankruptcy. e..
The committee of business men
which has charge of the personal af-
fairs of Mr.. Smith gave out a state
ment, saying the petition in bank
ruptcy was entirely unexpected, be-
cause when the committee took charge
it was the opinion of a majority of
the creditors that they would be able
to accomplish more than would re-
ceiver in bankruptcy. - .

All of them came down to see the circus
and visited the city lookup instead. Al
though there are not as many as usually

officers were kept busy last night and this
morning making arrests.
James Shumnah was the first offender
and he was arrested at First avenue and
Madison street by Officers Ferguson and
Brown on the charge of being drunk. On
the way to the police station he gave sew
eral warwhoops which startled many PEG
pie on the East side. As soon as he got in
the prison he began singing about what a
big man he was.
White Fish, another Indian, was ar

occupation as nothing. Sam Bosley made
his second trip this month and the Of

TeIenhone Fails Cupid.

Atchison, Kan, July 25.-Because
she said her parents wanted her to
marry a man with lots of money and
scoIded her because she persisted in
going with a boy who possessed little
means. Grace Hoskins, the daughter
of Frank Hoskins, a wealthy Nemaha
county farmer, ran away from home
and came to Atchison. Edward Lini-
han, lover of the girl, came on the
same train from Central Iowa. Each
is IT years old.
But the telephone spoiled the mar

EDITORS In A RUT.
Professor Flint Says and He Plans to
Get Them Out.

Washington, D. c., July 25.-
L n. Flint, assistant professor of
Journalism at the University of Kap-
; sas. is studying eastern newspaper
methods, in an effort to invigorate
Kansas Journalism by placing the
newspapers of that state on d more
prosperous business basis. He hopes
not only to improve the character OF
the papers, but furnish a field at home
for the graduates of the school of jour-
nalism of the university. Mr.. Flint is
in Washington and will remain here
several days.
Many Kansas editors have fallen
into rut,'' said Mr.. Flint to the State
Journal correspondent. They have
been content to jog along and make
bare living. 1t is the purpose of the
school of journalism to show these edi-
tors how they can increase their re-
ceipts by improved business methods
and by reaching out for advertising
which they could get if they went after
it. In this way we plan to improve
the papers.
more business will mean more mon
ey for improved equipment and the
employment of more men.
THE students now get out a four
page daily, and the work of the school
is progressing satisfactorily. We have
10 students this year. We have IA
courses of newspaper work, from re-
porting to problems of policy. The ex-
tension work among the editors is
meeting with great favor"
Mr.. Flint plans to spend three weeks
in New York city studying the bust
ness and newS-gathering methods of
the big dailies, in order to develop a
course of comparative Journalism.
The school of journalism of the Kan
sas university, under the management
of Merle Thorpe, of the state of wash
ington and this city, has already won
much favor among the newspapers of
the country. Mr.. Thorpe is considered
one of the brightest lights in the school
