Enemy Fleet Could Sail Safely
Past TT. Monroe.
Easiest Thing i'm World, Says
e. ID. Keilman of Topeka.
MINES ARE OF LITTLE USE
But Two Good Long Range
Guns Are in Place.
Only so Shells for Each Gun
Are on Hand.

at would be the easiest thing in the
world for foreign fleet to steam past
the batteries at Fort Monroe, Virginia
and in a few hours be within striking
distance of our national capitol"
| This was the answer given by f. ID.
Keilman, formerly of Topeka, and late
| of the United States Coast Artillery,
when asked concerning the prepared
ness of the United States in case of
war.
because the men in Washington
seem to be more willing to make a
record for economy than for efficiency,
| plans that have been proved to the
satisfaction of the artillery experts of
the army have been ignored For
years the Artillery Board of the coast
defenses have been recommending that
additional Qualifications, supplement-
airy to those at Fort Monroe, be placed
| on Cape Charles.
1.-The guns of Fort Monroe are not
able to cover the entire space of all
of Hampton Roads. By hugging the
eastern side of Chesapeake bay an
enemy fleet could, without firing
gun, pass, what we boast of, as the
strongest fortress in the United States
OF course that fleet would have to
contend with mines. but experience
gained from the present war shows
that the mines would be of little him
drance.
There are only five twelve-inch,
long range guns at Fort Monroe, and
OF these there are only two In tlrSt
class condition. 1t has been said that
by increasing the angle of fire of guns
already mounted, we would get the
same effectiveness as if we had put in
new guns. Right there is where 1
want to correct some Missionaries. High
angle fire guns are only accurate when
they are built as such. BY increasing
the angle of fire of guns now in SerV-
ice, we would get additional range to
be sure, but what is range without
ability to hit when you get there?
'The officers and men of the coast
service are doing all they can, but that
little is not enough. Think if you can,
would last. Yet that is all there has
been prepared for the batteries at
FIT. Monroe and at two other forts I
and able to shoot to the mark as they
have proved time and again. 1 cannot
understand why any ammunition at
all has been furnished. Enough to
start an engagement is an insult to the
men who would have to, stand the
brunt of the fighting in case foreign
nation decided to invade this country.
Men and ammunition have been
the things that have held England
back and they are the things that are
most lacking in the United States
army today Great Britain is paying
dearly for her negligence. Find the
answer yourself"
Mr.. Keilman is a Lawrence boy and
was educated in Kansas University.
He was a reporter on the morning pa
per for some time prior to his con-
nection with the army.

SWAYzE HAS A PLAN.
The County Clerk VIII Make Money
Selling Old Papers.

o. K SwayZe, county clerk, has
discovered a way to make money for
the county and soon will begin to put
his plan into effect. A paper baler
has been purchased by the county
commissioners and from now on all
waste paper will be baled and sold
instead of burned. Since the used
paper market fluctuates and the
amount of waste paper at the court
house varies it is almost impossible
to estimate just how much money
the county will realize from Swayze's
innovation, but it is certain that some
money will be made. There are two
or three tons of ballots burned every
year by the commissioners. This waste
paper will be baled and sold under
the new plan, even if the law does
say that they shall be burned
The paper baler is on it's way from
the factory, according to a bill of lad
ing received this morning by Mr.
Swayze. When it arrives the county
will start on its newest economy plan.

WOMAN MADE HAPPY
Was Not Sure Whether or Not She
Was Married.

The records in the office of Charles
w. Bower, clerk of the district court,
will make one woman happy at least.
A letter was received this morning
from Mrs. Hugh j. Harden, of Da-
kota City, Neb., asking for informa
ton about a divorce her husband was
supposed to have obtained five years
ago. Mrs. Harden stated in her letter
that she had heard that Iva Cunning

had not obtained a divorce and that
she was wondering whether or not she
was legally married to Mr.. Harden.
The court records show that Iva
Cunningham received a divorce from
Hugh J. Harden on October %, 1910.
In the letter Mrs. Harden states chat
she was married November %, 1912.
so she will be informed that she is
legally married.
p The letter came to o. K. Swayze,
county clerk, but Mr.. Swayze, who
does not claim to be a marriage ex-
pert, referred the communication to
Mr.. Bower.

Tomorrow the first Ford automo bile
accessory factory to be started in To-
peka will be in operation. The factory
will manufacture the Parker Perfecto
light, an electric light current gov
ernor for Ford cars, which is the in

salesman of Ford cars. The factory
will be located at SIS Kansas avenue,
upstairs, and will have a capacity to
start with of 5000 of the machines a

Parker is a Topeka man. His in
vention will eliminate the dimming of
lights on Ford cars when the engine
is slowed down and makes possible the
use of a low voltage bulb. Before the
invention of the current governor"
there was no known way of regulat-
ing the current in the lights on Ford
drivers to obtain an even light, as the
lights are run straight from the mag
neto.
The attachment invented by Parker
is a compact affair weighing only a

Sioux Falls, S. D.. May pa de
sision by Judge Frank B. Smith, Of the

no rightful heirs of the state of John
mcclellan have as yet presented thelT
claims to the estate, and that the es-
tate therefore should go to the state of
south Dakota, marks another import
ant chapter in the many years litiga-
ton over this estate.
Mcclellan was a wealthy pioneer res
ident of Sioux Falls. He was killed In
an elevator accident Is or 16 years ago,
and his estate has since been in litiga-
tlon, claimants, alleging to be heirs,
having appeared from different parts
or the country and from other coun-
tries. A group Of McClellans residing
in Canada at one time endeavored to
abli that the were the legal
heirs. Claimants from Ireland also APP
peared, but were defeated in their eff
forts to prove ownership to the estate.
Other claimants residing in Arkansas

Rod h estate has been In litigation

rightful heirs. That feature of the case
just decided by Judge Smith was
brought before the court on the appli-
cation Of the Arkansas claimants, III

that they had secured newly dtscoy-
cred evidence.

OF South Dakota.
At the time of McCleiian's death the
estate was valued at about $4,000 or
$4,000. Notwithstanding the heavy fl
nancial drain on the estate because of
the prolonged litigation, the property
left by Mcclellan has Increased in
value to such an extent thai the entire
estate now Is estimated to be worth
not less than $50, 900.

that he received numerous kilograms

Centerville. S. D., May 26.--An out
break OF anthrax has been reported to
the state veterinarian from the farm of
Peder Anderson. north of this city. hi
disease was first discovered a couple

complaint was for a time unknown to
Mr.. Anderson. and when one of his cat
tie died he, together with the hired
man, proceeded to remove the skin
from the carcass. Both became in
fected and ave since been in a serious
condition. The carcass of the animal
was thrown to the hogs, and ehe herd
also became infected and several have
succumbed to the malady. The farm
and stock on Mr.. Anderson's place have
been placed under quarantine, and the
general situation is well in hand. The
state authorities were promptly noti-
fled when the nature of the disease be-
came known, and apparently there is
no danger Of a further spread in this
