Wants Secrets Guarded

NEW YORK, June Protection
of naval secrets is the object of pro-
ceedings by the federal government for
an injunction to restrain the E. w.
Bliss Company from demonstrating to
the British government the process of
making and using the Bliss-Leavitt tor
pedo. Judge Veeder of the United
States district court in Brooklyn has
reserved decision on the question of
granting the injunction, as requested
by Assistant United States Attorney
General Malcolm A. Coles.
This torpedo is the principal weapon
of our navy" said the assistant attor-
ney general. "The right arm of the
nations defense calls on this court to
protect its rights. The navy depart
ment recently received notice that The
Bliss company intends to disclose the
complete construction and Observa-
tons of the Bliss-Leavitt torpedo TO
British interests. If this is done any
country can obtain the torpedo and in
open market, an act which would WORK
lrreparable injury TO the United
States"
Counsel for the Bliss company con
tended that the only public right The
United States government had in the
torpedo was its share in the invention
of the balanced turbine, feature n
ready known to all the naval world.

cent legislature, which becomes operat-
i've August 10.

tinued in that work until 1897, when
he retired at the age Of 73. In order
to be eligible to a pension a teacher

an idea

extremely radical.

zIM PRESENTED
WITH 100 BUCKS

Heine Zimmerman was busy last
night with strips of tissue paper and
a mucilage brush, piecing together
three sections of United States gov
eminent money which, when reas-
sembled, entitled him to demand Of
the national treasure 800 simoleons
in standard gold coin, if he wanted
them in exchange for the dismember-
ed bill.
Half of the 500 certificate had been
Heine's for fortnight and a day, with
the promise of a local admirer and
friend Of baseball that the other half
would be given him if he refrained
from indulging in repartee with the
umpires, so as to escape Punishment
from the game, for the period Of one
fortnight. Heine's half was playfully
torn in two by Manager Tinker of the
Reds the other day in an effort to
kid Jimmy into the belief it was
all a hoax.
Whatever lingering doubt of the gen.
uineness of the offer may have remain
ed in Zimerman's mind was dispelled
just before yesterdays game with
Cincinnati when Umpire Brennan, af-
ter accepting the. batting order from
Manager Evers, summoned Heine to
the home plate and handed him an en-
velope addressed to him and contain
ing the other half of the "split CEN
tmy." Jimmy quickly extracted the
golden bit of paper, examined it, and
passed it to Manager Evers to inspect.
Then Heine eagerly scanned the
folded sheet of paper which the en-
velOpe also contained, hoping to learn
the identity of his unknown friend.
! The sheet was blank, and there was
nothing but Umpire Brennan's Good
boy, Jimmy. You've earned it," and
the voice of the chief usher informing
the phrase, "Heine Zimmerman, re.
ceiving the missing half of his 500
bill for gentlemanly department on the
/ ball field" to tell Heine whence came
the substantial wager that he could
! BEHAVE himself if he tried.
! After the heated combat, in which
! Zimmerman comported himself with
the restraint and dignity of a knight
eTrant, he seemed for the first tim9
fully impressed with the serious side
Of the affair. There was genuine feel
ing in his voice as he requested The
Tribune to publish this appreciation !:
81 want you TO tell this unknown
friend, whoever he may be, that |
thank him. It's good deal of money,

Dubuque, Iowa, July Ally Jasper,
the moist ball artist, yesterday hung
the kibosh on the Davenport Sox in
the second game of the series to de-
eide the leadership of the league, the
score being TO 5. Hy had jast re-
turned from a weeks layoff having
been sojourning in St. Looie, where
II is rumored that he was visiting
with friends and relatives At any
rate. the rest seemed to have been
extremely beneficial, for he held the
Sox safe during the nine innings, il
spite of a ninth inning rally by the
visitors, which netted two runs Child
Barnes, the Circleville bandit, held
the Dubs to eight hits, but that was
too many.
Chick" Fraser, formerly with the
Chicago Cubs, and now gum shoeing
for the Pirates. was among those pres
ent. He came to look over both Jas
per and Barnes. Fraser will be hero
today also, as Jasper is slated to
pitch one game of the double-hcader.
Frasers visit destroys the strength OF

well of Pitcher Charley Pickett as a

work. he will likely be retained, but
otherwise, it means his finish. Pitcher
Hickstein, who was sold optionally to
