SUBMARINE" SINKS
SUPERINTENDENT
Orators at Normal Torpedo Argu-
ment FavOring Large
U. S. Navy.

In heated discussion at the Nor
NAL Auditorium last night in which
the best debating talent obtainable
from the ranks Of the Webster Society
were outtalked, outreasoned and out
classed by the Benton logicians, a
much mooted and generally discussed
question was finally and satisfactorily
disposed Of.
The question under consideration
was whether or not the United States
was justified in her recent activities
toward enlarging and strengthening
her navy.
The Websters, who favored the
plan, were styled the "Super-Drear
naught," and the Bentons who success
fully opposed them, were given the
title Of the Submarines" and the re-
suit of the contest, as announced by
the victors, was the sinking of the
Webster Super-Dreadnaughts by the
Benton Submarines.

A letter reached his wife in Cape

had been ordered to the front, but he
did not known whether he would en-

or the French. Sauerland's wife for
merly was Miss Mary Lefarth, a

When he came to America, he settled
in this city. He left in Germany

daughter lived with her fathers sis

country after he closed out his hold
ings in the old country. When he left
here in May he announced that he
would bring his daughter to the Cape
to make this her future home.

A night prowler made an unsuccess-
full attempt to enter the read door of
the Talent Barber Shop on Main
street at about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, and succeeded in unlocking
the door, but abandoned the task and
went away when he found that the
door refused to open, being held Sc
cure by a bolt that is used for night
latch purposes.
Doc Beazley, the negro porter who
sleeps in the shop at night, was
awakened by hearing the marauder
working at the door. He slipped out of
bed and securing loaded shotgun
that stood near, stationed himself
where he could see the robber enter
when the door opened.
Doc reluctantly admitted that his
knees showed tendency to knock and
that his teeth chartered slightly while
he endured the suspense of waiting to
meet the caller. He said that he could
plainly hear the key working in the
door, and came nearly betraying his
presence when the key suddenly drop
ped out of the lock and fell to the
floor. He said that he could scarcely
keep from shouting, he was so startled
and that he is sure he heard his own
hair crackle as the kinks Strengthened
out under the terrifying strain.
He managed to control himself,
however, and in few seconds the lock
turned backward and the intruder at
tempted to open the door. Findir
that the bolt had been slipped and mat
the door still remained fastened he
abandoned the attempt, and Doc heard

When he wrote to Mrs. Sauerland
he stated that he was expecting to
depart for the scene of hostilities
daily, and indicated that his message
might be the last that she would ever
receive from him. This letter came
yesterday, and Mrs. Sauerland be-
lieves that he is now in active service.
Sauerland met his present wife
while she was visiting relatives in
Germany. This was more than five
years ago. Before she returned to
America he proposed marriage, was
accepted and the ceremony was per-
formed in the fatherland, after which
they came to the United States on
their honeymoon. Sauerland liked
Cape Girardeau and was induced by
his bride to make this city his home
He often spoke of becoming a citi-
zen Of the United States, but before
he renowned Germany he wanted to
sell his property there and have his
daughter join him here. He expected
to take out his first papers upon his
return to Cape Girardeau.

N Carter has just been to Denver

Copper gulch, that very bad piece of
road east Of Salida. The new cutoff
along the Grand Canon proper is being
rapidly completed and ought to be done
in a mouth. Ii will save at least three
hours Of time, and the principal grief of
the Journey. Together with his
brother-in-law Senator W. r. Eaton of
Denver, he took the time to look over
this new piece of road in company with
Warden Tom lyman, who has a large
con q camp near the end of the com
pIeted section ten miles above Parkdale.
Il is a splendid piece of work and does
great credit to the road making ability
of Mr.. lyman and his force. Much of
the distance the roadway is blasted
from the solid overhanging rock, but is
wide enough for machines to pass at
nearly every point. Sometimes IT has
been necessary to build cement retain
ing walls on the outside, giving the APP
pearance of roads in the Swiss Alps.
