DOWN
IN DIVERS SUIT
Has Had Experiences in Balloons and
NOW Wants to Try Submarine
Dam Undergoing Repairs.

William H. Richardson, who has had
several experiences above land and water
in balloons, tried this morning the
sensation of going under water in a divers
suit. Mr.. Richardson was as delighted
with his underwater experience as he was
with the trips above land and water.
\ diver of the Cummings Construction
Co of Woodsville, n H., and Ware,
Mass, has been working for some days on
repair work at the dam of the Twin State
Gas 4 Electric Co. at the West Dummer-
ston plant. Last week \. b. Webb, one
OF the operators at the plant, made a brief
trip under water and Mr. Richardson
promptly arranged to enjoy the sensation
himself
This morning, accompanied by Mrs
Richardson, he went there and was soon
mcased in the divers suit. The suit was
put on in the power house and then he
went to the wharf, where the shoes
weighing 20 pounds each were put on.
The helmet was screwed on and test
made of the air pump. Everything being
satisfactory the start was made down the
ladder and when he was partly immersed
the heavy belt weighing so pounds that
aids in keeping the diver under water, off
setting the buoyancy of the air in the suit,
was strapped around his waist.
The descent was made slowly and when
he reached bottom the amateur diver got
down on his hands and knees, as instruct
/ ed, and explored the bottom He found
no difficulty in breathing and was able to
see through the glass in the helmet
Mr.. Richardson said that only his hands
were cold. He did not put on the heavy
clumsy rubber mittens, but instead had the
suit strapped tightly around his wrists as
he intended to be down only a few min
utes. He remained down about - min
utes and then slowly ascended to avoid too
quick change in air pressure

helmet is taken off to avoid too much

from the time the pumping is stopped until
the face of the helmet is unscrewed Mr.
Richardson says that there was a few
seconds when there was not any too much
air to breathe after he had come to the
| surface and while the helmet was being
unfastened
He says he would not have missed the
experience for anything and would like
now to try a trip in a submarine

important action was taken in making
DIR. Philips pastor emeritus of the

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

In the latest official reports by the
Italian general staff progress for the
Italians in the fighting on the Isonzo
front is claimed. Advances are de-
clared to have been made on heights
to the northwest of Gorilla. Gen.
Borovich of the Austrian army is
quoted in a Berlin despatch as declar-
ing that the Italian offensive has not
dented the Austrian line in the IsonZo
region. The Austrians, under Gen.
Borovich have maintained all positions
as they existed when he took charge
of them before the beginning of active
nostilities, he asserts.
Saloniki hears that German sub
marines are using the Bulgarian har-
Dor of Varna on the Black sea as a
base of operations. Varna has been
mentioned as one of the harbors where
Russia would be likely to land troops
for the invasion of Bulgaria.

Sinking of Three Vessels in a Short
Time in the Mediterranean
Arouse5 Officials

ROME, Nov. Is, via Paris. - The
sinking of the steamship Bosnia, fol
lowing closely the destruction of the
Ancona and the Sirende, has resulted
in a determined agitation for the
adoption in the Mediterranean of
measures similar to those which have
checked submarine activity in the
North sea.
Careful search is being made for
missing boats of the Ancona- and
Sirende, but it is believed no other
survivors will be found.
Late official reports give number
saved as 299 out of total of 507
aboard the Ancona Most of the vic
Tins were steerage passengers, of
which class only 81 We're saved.

SPENT HALF MILLION
ON LA TOILETTE
Ex-senator Stephenson Bares Secret of
High Finance in Politics
of Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-At the age
Of s6 years ex-senator Isaac Stephen
son, one of the last of Wisconsin s lum-
her merchants, has issued a volume of
recOlleetions which for the first time
bares the secrets of his relations with
Robert NJ. LA Toilette and with the
tumultuous political movement within
that state which resulted in the genesis
of the . wisconsin idea.
Ex-senator Stephenson discloses the
details Of his financing of La Toilette s
political ambitions and lays before his
friends all the facts which he steadfast-
" refused to give out when La Toilette
turned on him and attempted to Gust
him from the United States Senate be
cause he had spent more than 100000
in his campaign for election to that
body
The venerable ex-senator relates how
he spent more than 100000 on La
Fcllette and his political lieutenants
and how he has contributed probably
1000, 900 to the Republican party.
He describes La Toilette weeping with
JOY when his stephenson 5 agent
handed him the first $500.
Senator Stephenson makes the in
teresting disclosure that La Toilette
turned against him, finally trying t.
have him removed from the Senate,
soon after he refused to put up $3.50
600 to back La Toilette 5 candidacy for
the Presidential nomination. Mr. Steph-
enson does not seek to connect the two
events OF to draw any deductions from
them. He merely states the facts.
