OPENING LETTERS IN SECRET.

Both sides have sent their subma-

valor, enterprise and willingness to die
of its men. The early days Of the wal

the Germans, but it o became ap-

With rapid fire guns. These are not
intended for offensive. but for defen-
slve use-to drive off attacks by de-
stroyers accompanying the enemy's
fleet. The fleet submarine will not car
ry many more men than the latest type
now in commission.
In this connection it IS interesting to
note that submarines are an American
Invention. The mines have an inter-
esting and romantic history. For their
beginnings we must go back to our
Revolutionary war, says he Worlds

Yale, David Bushnell, worked out the
idea while still a college student.
"Bushnell's Turtle" which he con-
structed. represented not only the first
attempt at a submarine mine. 1t was
also the worlds first submarine boat.

These two deadly engines, which
play so important n part in the present
struggle, originated in the same brain
and at the same time. Bushnelrs
chief ambition was to construct n re-

merely as a method of putting this
amicable engine in position.

SNEAK THIEF
GETS FAT sum
CONSTANTINE APOSTLE, DOING
BUSINESS ON WEST GOVERN
MENT STREET, SAYS WAS RE-
LIEvED OF $57.

Constantine Apostle, who keeps a
small store at the corner of Govern
nment and Barcelona streets, reported
at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon that
sneak thief had entered his home
a few moments before and had stolen
the sum of $57, representing his saw
ings for some time. He gave the po-
lice a clue, which was industriously
followed but without result. Another
suspected party was looked for dur
ing the night, but no arrest was eff
fected.
Apostle told the chief of police
that tracks were found, indicating
that the party who stole his money
had very small feet or it may have
been a hoy, he could not tell. He was
naturally very much put cut at losing
the savings, and urged the police to
do everything they could to bring the
guilty party or parties to justice, and
to try and have returned to him a
part at least of his money.
The fact that the robbery was COM
naitted in the daytime, which was SC
stated by the loser, indicates to the
police that whoever got it was quite
familiar with the premises, and the
hiding place of the money.

FINE OF S25
|. EACH IMPOSED
ON ATTORNEYS
MEssRs. JOHN P. STOKES, A. C.
AND CLEMENT BLOUNT, LAW
YERS, WHO ENGAGED IN A
FIGHT, WERE so TAXED.

Fines of $25 each, were yesterday
forenoon imposed upon Messrs. John
p. Stokes, A. C. Blount and Clement
Blount, for contempt of court, Judge
Kirke Monroe, of the court of record,
in which tribunal the trouble oc-
CURED, imposing the amounts de-
noted.
An additional feature Of the pro-
ceeding was an order of the court
that the fines be paid before 1 p. m.
This was done by each of the attor-
neys, Mr.. Stokes readily handing the
fine imposed upon him to the sheriff s
deputy, Mr.. Mayo, while check COW
ering the other two fines was de-
livered to the sheriff shortly after
noon.
In imposing the fines, Judge Mon
roe stated that he was sorry the
trouble had occurred, and SO far as
he was personally concerned, he could
overlook it, but the Judiciary had
been held in contempt, and the mat
ter could not be allowed to go unno-
ticed.
Speaking further on the matter
and leading up to the imposing of the
fines, Judge Monroe referred to Judge
Blount as the probable aggressor; &c
Clement Blount as aiding in the fight
and to Mr.. Stokes as not trying to
seriously avoid the trouble.
Judge Blount took exceptions to the
court referring to him as the agrees
or, explaining that his honor had beer
impdgned, and he could not believt
that his past reputation in the com
nnunity would prove him to be any
thing but peaceful man.
Mr.. Stokes, speaking FOR himself
said that, like all other things, hi
never took issue with the court OF
this question, but was ready to stand
for the fine which had been imposeC
upon him, only, he inferred, he wisheC
that the affair had not taken place Il
the courtroom.
While this was going on, th'
crowded courtroom was as silent Al

.BAYvIEW PARK
OPENED TO THE
PUBLIC TODAY
UNDER THE CITY'S sUPERyIs-
ION, THE BATHING PRIV
LEGEs WILL BE AVAILABLE,
BEGINNING SATURDAY.

Bayview park will be thrown open
to the public today. 1t will be in
the city's charge, and Building In
spector Cade E. Shackelford is to
represent the city in the maintenance
of the park. George H. Sellars will
be personally in charge, but at no
stated salary. It was announced
yesterday that Sellars takes it on
the proposition that if the place
makes money, he will get salary,
but if not, then there is to be no
salary paid. The city, however, will
pay salary to Miss Ingraham, it
was announced, because of her use
fulness in looking after the children
who in the city expect to frequent
the resort in large numbers.
The Fairgrounds Committee yes
terday turned over all property at
the pavilion, the suits, boats, ETC., to
the city's custody, and the keys were
yesterday afternoon delivered to
Mayor Greenhut. He paid visit to
the park yesterday afternoon, as did
also Mr.. Shackelford, more to take
an inventory of everything on hand
than anything else. Bright and ear
ly this morning, it was stated, the
bathing privileges will be available.
Some rumor was heard at the city
hall yesterday about an injunction,
looking to keeping the place closed,
such steps, it was asserted, being in
prospect by persons who fear the
opening of the park will mean much
sickness in the city. Just where the
rumor had its origin, and who started
it, was not known, but it had come
from some angle to several officials
in the city hall. Commissioner Pou,
the only member Of the board of
commissioners in the building yester-
day afternoon at. late hour, said
nothing of the sort had been started,
and, as far as he was aware of,
nothing of the Sort was in contempla-
ton. He was sure that the opening
of the park would be appreciated by
many people.
Manager Quina, who was IN, charge
OF the park under the Fairgrounds
Committee, stood out for a stipulated
salary, but the mayor would offer
nothing of the kind, and the manager
handed in the keys upon instruction
from Mr.. Yonge.
