UNSUITABLE SHIP
But Pittsburgh Man Refuses to
Tell OF What II Is Made.

Pittsburgh.-A battleship that can

Pittsburgh mar whose identity Is kept
secret by his attorney, John c. Thomp-
sol. The material out OF which the
unsuitable" ship is to be manufac-
tured IL also a secret Plans and speci-
hcations have been placed In the hands
OF thes secretary OF the navy, according
to Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson says his client has re-
ceived "a letter from Secretary Daniels
stating that as soon as the new advi-
sorry board OF inventors and scientists
Is organized the invention will be placed
before IL.
IL Is stated that the inventor depends
almost exclusively on the interior con
struction OF the ship for his results.
Under his plans all the craft OF the
United States navy would remain the
same to all outward appearances, but
all would be unsuitable. They would
carry just as many guns as at present,
but their armor would not be as heavy
as now.
According To the inventor. a battle
ship equipped with his invention would
be practically invincible In battle be-
cause no matter how many times the
ship would be struck the craft would
remain upright and continue to float.

Washington, Aug. 25.-"One aft

the weather bureau, "a thunder
storm with quite a heavy downpour
of rain occurred over a portion of a

had said nothing about showers.
BE that as il may. the science

CAUGHT IN c
Two Men at Alpena Held for Robbing
a Store.

Alpena, Aug. 25.-Detected in the
act of robbing a local store, two men
giving their names as James Hayden
and James Hitchcock, waived their
preliminary hearing and in default
of bonds in the sum of $1,000 each
have been lodged in the county Jail
pending their trial during the Sep
TENDER term of state circuit court.
1t is generally believed they are
members of a gang of store thieves
which has been operating in South
Dakota recently. Shortly after the
two men were captured a mysterious
automobile drove into the outskirts
of town and remained apparently in
waiting for some one. Nothing vas
thought of this at the time, but there
now is little doubt that the automo-
bile was occupied by confederates
and came here for the purpose of
taking the two burglars and their
loot out of town. The two burglars
were captured as the result of action
taken by George Mcmillan, manager
of the local electric light plant. After
shutting off the lights for the night
about midnight he started for home
and noticed a light flashing in the A.
f. Smith store. Satisfied that ban
dts were at work he quietly awoke a
number of other citizens and the
store was surrounded. When the
bandits were captured they had a
great quantity of valuable goods
piled up on a counter awaiting trans
portation elsewhere and had taken
what money had been left in the
money drawer.
