WASHINGTON. May Following
the sensation of the theft of valuable
plans of parts of the new Dread
nought Pennsylvania from the navy
department offices. renewed efforts
were made to recover the papers and
find the culprit. The plans contained
the secret arrangement of the cleo
trical apparatus which will control
the fire of the twelve great fourteen
inch guns on the new fighter as well
as the twenty-five five-inch guns
meant for torpedo defense. These
plans we're the secret of Rear Admir-
al Twining Il was said that they
would be of value only to a foreign
government in case of war with the

known IL would enable the gunners
of opposing ships to cripple the great

shot at the exact vital spot in the

ELECTROCUTED
At B|RON
High Tension Wire Breaks With
Disastrous Results.
SHOCK KILLS INSTANTLY

Broken Wire Carrying 1000 Volts of
Electricity Falls on Sam zdnok,
Laborer at the Biron Paper
Mill.
The breaking of high tension
transmission line carrying 1000 volts
OF electricity was the cause of the
death Of Sam Zdnok, a Iaborer at
the Biron mill Friday morning. zdnok
was wheeling einders in a wheel
barrow and tie high tension trans
mission wire carrying 1000 volts Of
electricity broke just as he was un-
der it. The ends of the broken wire
fell on his hands; the heavy current
Of electricity passed through his
body. killing him instantly.
As he fell, one of the wires lay
across his body and set fire to his
clothes. An attempt was made to
reach the power plant in this city
and have the current shut off so that
Idnok could be removed. The teIe-
phone line was found to be out of
order, SO a man was dispatched on a
motor cycle to this city and to the
Consolidated plant and the current
was shut off. 1t would have been in
stant death for any one to have
touched Zdnok while the live wire
was in contact with his body.
No blame can be attached to amy
one. 1t was one of those unfortunate
accidents which sometimes occur and
which are unavoidable.
zdnok leaves three sons and one
daughter. His wife died two years
ago in Russia and he has only been
in this country since last July. He
is a man about So years old.
