TORPEDO BOAT DEsrRoYERs.
They Have Many Important Parts to
Play In Naval Warfare.

Torpedo boat destroyers, as the name
implies, were first built to engage the
small torpedo boat. which had become
serious peril to the big battleships
and large cruisers.
So serious was the menace that
searchlights and rapid fire guns were
regarded as unreliable for the protec-
ton of these big ships against this
smaller craft 1t was thus that the de-
stroyer was born, and, with gradna.
ton, its duties were extended until
they included all that was formerly
done by the small torpedo boat, and
much more besides.
II is fact that the modern destroy
er is three or even four times as large
as one of the earlier type, which natu-
rally renders 1t much more sea worthy
and obviously increases its radius Of
action, seeing that 1t is capable Of car
rying much more fuel.
The objects Of modern torpedo boat
destroyer fotilla are many. Perhaps
the paramount duty Of every vessel in
the fotilla is to discharge its torpedoes.
should 1t get near enough. at the enc
my's big battleships. But a very i'm
portant Office to fulfill is that of scout
ing, which comprises locating and re-
porting the position of the enemy.
Should the enemy make night at
tack the destroyers are relied upon to
locate and report the position of the
attacking fleets torpedo craft, as well
as sink or drive them away before they
can force an attack against the bigger
battleships. London Telegraph.

Beat Mail Houses
At Their Own Game

The receipts at the postoffice dur
ing the months OF May and June far
exceed those of the same months last
year and are steadily increasing. AS
barometer of business conditions in
a city the postal receipts are almost
infallible. One very encouraging fact
is that the parcel post shipments out
of Ashland far exceed those coming
in, thus showing that not only are the
people getting away from the mail
order houses but that local merchants
are developing an extensive trade in
the surrounding districts.

Fire at Talent
Burns Buildings

Fire destroyed the blacksmith shop
and an unoccupied building in Talent
last night. The blaze is thought to
have had its origin from a spark from
burning weeds. The Ashland fire de-
partment was called upon and were
prepared to go down, but the fire was
controlled before the truck left.

TRIED TO SAVE BALLOU,
rs MRS. ANGLES CLAIM
ro,t.d When She Saw Blood Stained Hat Way tC
Phone for Help, Says Lawyer-W oman Ready Tor
Trial Which Begins Wednesday at Bridgeport

for Wednesday in the Superior Grim
inal Court at Bridgeport.
Mrs. Angle herself will take the stand
and describe in detail the events OF the
tragic evening. Judge Downs outlined
the general course of her story as fol
lows:
Even the charge of heartlessness
will be wiped away from Mrs. Angle
when she tells her story he said.
"She will explain that she heard the
sound of Mr.. Ballou's falling, that she
rushed out and found him lying at the
foot Of the stairs unconscious. She
dragged him to the sidewalk, thinking
the fresh air might revive him. In the
street. however, she saw that his IN
juries were very serious, and realized
that she must have help. SO she left
him and started back to her room TO
telephone to his home. On the way up
stairs she stumbled over his hat She
picked il up. When she came into the
light of the room she saw that the hat
was bloodstalned.
Mrs. Angle isn't the only woman in
the world who has tainted at the sight
of blood. Remember, too, that she was
already threatened with nervous
breakdown. Her doctor, T. II. Staub,
had warned her only a few days be-
fore that she was in a dangerous CON
dltion. 1t was the only thing to be ex-
pected. then, that the shock of this
tragedy would shatter her self-cOntrol.
She doesn't know what happened. she
only knows that when she came 70 the
police were knocking at her door.
"In her frenzied state she said many
wild things. 1t is upon these conflict
ing and incoherent statements that the
charges against her are based. The
state argues that. If she was innocent,
why didn't she tell a straight story

STATE CAN'T STOP
IMPORT OF LIQUOR
lnfringes Interstate Com
merce, Says Supreme
Court.

Washington. March 1.-The Kirmeyer
liquor case. one of first importance to
the prohibition laws Of Kansas, was
decided in the Supreme Court to-day
against the state.
1t was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to oust various
wholesale liquor dealers from doing
business in Leavenworth, Kan, VI. kir-
meyer went across the river into Mis-
souri, established a warehouse there
and continued TO deliver beer in Kan
sas The Kansas Supreme Court held
that his removal was mere device to
evade the Kansas liquor law and that
the trade was not interstate commerce
"in good faith"
The Supreme Court to-day held that
Kirmeyer was entitled, under previous
decisions Of the court, to protection
for his trade as interstate commerce,
and dismissed an injunction issued by
the Kansas Supreme Court.
Justice McReynOlds stated in the
opinion that the Kirmeyer case arose
before the passage Of the Webb Ken
Won law. prohibiting shipments from
wet to dry territory. and that neither
its construction nor application was
involved or would be passed upon. Ad-
vocates Of the Webb Kenyon law CON
tend that measure would apply to such
cases now.
Justice McReynolds said decisions OF
the Supreme Court precluded further
discussion of the following facts:
Beer is a recognized article OF com
uorce. The right TO send it from one
state to another and the act of doing
so are interstate commerce. the regu-
laticn whereof has been committed TO
Congress. and a state law which denies
sucb riqht or substantially interteres
with or hampers the same is in con-
Aict with the Constitution OF the
United States. transportation IS not
compIete until delivery to the con-
sicnoe or the expiration Of reason
sblc time therefor and prior thereto
the provisions of the Wilson act oil
1890 have no application"
The Justice did not undertake TO say
whether the Webb-Kenyon law was ef-
fectiyc 70 change those propositions.
