When asked to speak regarding the
Mexican situation General Huerta
closed his lips tightly and made the
sign OF the cross as if putting the seal
on. He said in English:
Excuse me, nothing"
Few people at the respectable, but
unostentatious hotel freouented by

the little dark man with the Spanish

Grover Cleveland, the confessed alb

created a stir among officers of both
state and government until she reap
peared at Dallas, Tex, and was
brought home, is in Jail at Joplin. He
will be brought here for a preliminary
hearing before Frank Campbell,
United States commissioner, on a
charge of violation OF the Mann act
FOR two months secret service agents
have worked to locate the man who in
troduced himself to Mary Turner as
Jack" Hall and induced her to leave
Iopeka On promise Of marriage. The
girls adventure led her to Texas,
where her companion disappeared
when she resisted his alleged attempts
to persuade her to enter a life of
! shame. Her appeal to federal au-
thor1ties there through a man to whom
she was introduced by Hall restored
her to her parents and she is now at
home in Topeka. She will be the
principal witness for the prosecution.

Thomas Harding Invented In
direct Firing i'm 1861.
Saws II Is Ridiculous for French
to Claim Honor.

Thomas Harding of Topeka, the in
ventor of the automobile steering gear.
saw an item in the State Journal last
night about the use of indirect fire
shells by the French army in the war
in Europe. These shells contain 2O6
bullets the size of a rifle ball. They
are set with fuse, to explode directly
over the enemy and can be set to send
a shower of lead behind breastwOrk
or into a fort. 1t was stated in the
article that these shells originated in
France.
Mr. Harding says he is the inventor
of the ball shells now in use in the
French army, and that they were first
brought to light during the civil war.
Mr.. Hardiny's story is as follows:
'In 1861 at the outbreak of the civil
war l was indirectly connected with
the federal army. In a battle it is al
ways necessary to have body OF in
fantry in front of the artillery to repel
charges by the opposing forces. Hav-
ing discovered that our guns were
killing a good many of our own men,
I set to WORK to remedy this. and
started to perfect an indirect firing
shell that would still have the effect
of the old canister shot
II built my shell in three parts, held
together by long screw. The shell
somewhat resembles an ordinary
shrapnel shell. 1t has time indi-
Gator on the nose and a fuse set in
just behind a turning washer. To
regulate the time the screw is loosened
and the washer turned around to the
proper point on the dial. The fuse is
ignited when the gun is discharged
and explodes a powder charge behind
the ball case.
when the shell explodes the shot
fly in every direction and work havoc
among the opposing forces. 1 took my
shell to Washington to have it tested
The man in charge Of the armament
department had brought out a shall
at the same time which was somewhat
similar to mine but slightly inferior
My shells were not given the proper
test and they were thrown out in favor
of the inferior ones.
Il attempted to get an interview
with General Mcclellan but he was il
at the time and I could not reach him
] finally gave up and went home.
Some of my shells are now in the
Purdue university museum. Although
they were smaller than the French
shells, they were on the same plan.
want everybody to know that the
French have nothing on the Yankees
1t is absurd for them to claim tina
these shells are of French invention
and practically new, for they were in
vented in this country nearly SO years
ago."
