mines are anchored from the bot
tom, and the passing cable cuts the
mooring rope, which goes curling
around the sweeping warp. The
old man notices it at once. There is
a sharp blast of his siren. EASY
ALL" he bawls across to his partner.
They have struck a channel sown
with death, and where there is one
there are sure to be others. The
trawlers slow down and steam apart.
The connecting cable tautens, and
slowly above the heaving water ap-
pears a small shining sphere. The
blast of his siren has warned the
watchful torpedo boat in the ofting.
She comes up full speed, her crew
glad of the chance of something to
do. The deadly mine is thrown off
to float on the bosom Of the waters,
and drifts away, such tiny glisten-
ing atom to be so fraught with ter
rible consequences. The cutwater of
the torpedo boat makes cleaning
arc in the morning sun as she swings
round for action. The trawlers fall
away, and on the war vessel there is
flutter of white duck where the
bIuejackets are training light gun
on the mine. A crouching figure be-
hind bends back, there is a staccato
bark and a wreath of smoke from
the boats bow, and, in answering
roar, a huge column of water shoot
ing skywards, the mine is exploded,
dropping back into the seething caul-
dron on the sea il scattered frag-
ments, it's hellish purpose frustrated.
Sometimes, of course, the mine ex-
plodes when the warp breaks its
mooring. 1t heels over with the
shock of contact, and before anyone
aboard the trawler's aware, there is
the heavy boom of the explosion,
while the trawler rocks and shivers
in every bolt with the frightful con-
, cussion. But the effect upon the
boat is no more than if she struck
soft sand bank; she loses her
course, perhaps, but the skipper or
his mate, clomping up the hoodway
! from the cabin, where he was posi-
bly, having his dinner, calmly ticks
off the fact with the position.
At night the boats anchor on re-
turn to harbor. 1t is essential that
the work should be done in daylight
to be effected properly; the explosion
of the mine must be thorough, other
wise as a floating mine, it becomes
even more dangerous, the tides car
rying it right out of the course of
it's fixed position. Practically all the
ports along the eastern and southern
seaboard are now equipped with
fleets of mine sweepers, which start
their toiling every day in the morn
ing glim.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Henry Bat
tiers, testifying today before the con-

Michigan copper strike, said he was
one Of 45 men imported into the strike
district in October by a New York de-
tective agency. He declared that while
they were on their way to the copper

hoped the boys in the party would
"learn the ropes" so that mine COM

as guards soon.
Batters explained that those in

the 'boys" were to incite the strikers
to acts of violence.
The witness on cross examination
denied he had provoked violence, but
declared many acts calculated to pro-
woke the strikers were committed by
other men in the squad Of private de-
tectives. He said a man named Curry
stood outside and fired a revolver into

H. {. HOLMES DEAD;FlRST
DICTATOR LOCAL LODGE OF MOOSE

throughout the day his condition be-
came grave. Physicians were con-
stantly in attendance at his bedside
from early last evening until the end
came this morning.
H. C. Holmes came to Virginia
about three years ago and was employ
ed at the real estate and insurance
Office Of J. w. Murphy. He had no
relatives in this city. A committee
from the local lodge of Moose will
meet this afternoon to make arrange
ments for the funeral. His only known
living relative is an aunt residing in
Minneapolis and an effort is being
made to establish communication with
her today.
Holmes was well respected by a
wide circle of friends in Virginia to
whom news of his death will be re-
ceiyed with genuine regret.
