Short Career Of Big Gun.
In a lecture on modern artillery at
the Royal institution, Lieutenant Colo
nel Hadcock of Elswick contrasted the
life of big guns with that of Il butterfly.
In the case of the latter he supposed
that twenty-four hours would be old
age. The big gun. on the other hand,
looked everlasting, but it only lived
when it was being fred, and If an In.
cessant stream of projectiles could be
poured out from it its active life in
that sense would be only twelve sec.

CHICAGO JEWELER
FOUND MURDERED
One Theory Brings Woman Into Case
While Another Holds Robbery
Motive.

CHICAGO. Oct 16.-Harry Phillips.
jeweler. with store at 951 w. Mad
ison ST., was murdered late Friday
night in the Buckley apartments. 1850
w. Madison st. where he had his
home. He was found shot to death
on the fourth floor OF the apartment
building, and evidently had been
thrown down the steps from the fifth
floor on which ne had bachelor
quarters.
Two shots through the body near
the heart had ended the life of Phil
lips and the police are working on
one or more theories that surrounds
the shooting. One theory Is that a
quarrel over a woman led TO the
shooting and that two or perhaps
three men had a hand in the crime.
A second theory is that robbers lay
in wait for Phillips attacked him
when he entered his room and shot
him i'm flight after attempting 10 make
him give up the jewelry ne was sup
posed TO have hidden. Another theo-
~ is an attempt was made at robbery
for what money and jewelry the victim
had on his person and that after the
noise of the shots the robbers and
slayers escaped without their booty,
both money and personal jewelry be-
ing found unmolested on the body Of
the slain man.

ing the golf links, should put the
money into playground apparatus to
be placed in the park for the use
Of the children and residents that live
i'm the district about Studebaker park.
They declared that more people would
be benefited by means of Fairgrounds
with supervision than with golr
