The NaVy's Greatest Need
lFrom the New York Tribunel

The acceptance by Thomas A. Edi-
son of place on the advisory board
Of the new Navy Department Bureau
of Invention and Development is a
happy ausury OF better things for the
navy. Even Secretary Daniels is be-
ginning to grasp the idea that the
navy is not a great university-an
adjunct to the public school system.
It's mission is not to impart a civilian
education to sailors. but TO teach them
how TO utilize in defending the United
States the increasingly complex ma
chinery of naval warfare.
The present war has revolutionized
military methods On land artillery
no longer supports infantry. lnfan-
try merely supplements the work OF
the artillery. Az sea the great ships
Of the line remain almost wholly in
active and the submarine has become
the most dread engine of offense and
defence Naval warfare Is summoning
to its aid all the resources of scien-
tifc knowledge and invention. The
conduct of a modern navy requires
vastly more comprehensive technical
knowledge than was needed in the
days of Nelson or Farragut.
Yet since Mr. Daniels Is beginning
10 recognize the need OF the ablest
expert guidance in improving the in
strnmentalities Of warfare why should
he not also recognize the necessity
OF expert control in the formulation

Muscatine, Sept. II. - The Musca.
tine county Jail has been closed to all
visitors as a result Of a startling dis
covery made this week by Sheriff John
Wiley.
Fol- some time prisoners in the Jail
appeared to be in a stupefied state. A
close investigation resulted in the dis
covery of the vial, the contents of
which when tested revealed the con-
coction to be a 42-centimeter variety
of booze and dope. Four highly concen.
trated ingredients gave the preparation
strength sufficient to put m prisoner
into a drunken stupor for thirty-six
hours. One tablespoonful of the mix.
ture poured into a cup Of water made 1t
highly intoxicating.
Local officers are now seeking to
trace the origin of the drink and to
ascertain the identity of the person
bringing it into the Jail. No parcels
or foodstuffs may be given to prisoners
in the future until they have been In.
spected by the jailer.

WANTING PARDON
FOR PARN|TzkE
PRISONER HAS SERVED TWENTY.
FOUR YEARS FOR VAN BUREN,
COUNTY CRIME.

Des Moines. Sept. II. - Application
has been made to Governor Clarke for
a pardon for Albert Parnitzke, serving
a life sentence for the murder OF
James Warner Of Van Buren, county
He has been in the Fort Madison pen
itentiary since Dec. 81, 1891.
The case was referred to the state
board of parole for investigation.
The Parnitzke case Is almost as well
known in Iowa as the Rainsbarger al
fair. The Rainsbargers were released
a few weeks ago after having served
thirty a in the pe~nitentiary.
Before the state board Of parole
was created for the purpose of investi-
eating such cases, efforts were made
before the legislature to secure par
dons for life prisoners. The Parnitzke
and Rainsbarger were before the
general assembly for q number OF ses-
sions, without success.
According to the record Parnitzke,
who was 10 years of age In 1891, was
employed on the farm of James War
ner, near Utica, Van Buren, county. He
had been going with" Orilfa Warner,
sister of James Warner, and who lived
at the Warner home. On the night OF
July l, 1891, someone entered the room
Of Orilla Warner. The girl declared
1t was Parnitzke. She struggled with
him and a f1rearm was discharged IN
the room. The assailant escaped IN
the darkness. James Warner, attracted
by the shot, appeared with a gun. He
shot into the night and yelled a num-
Der Of times. A shot was fired from the
ground below and Warner fell dead.
The record says that Parnitzke lad
borrowed a rife from William Thorn
ley, a farmer living in the neighbor-
hood.
Parnitzke was not seen for two days.
On July 3 he appeared at the home OF
his father. The father took the boy to
town and turned him over to the sher-
if. He was given a trial and was con-
victed of murder in the first degree.
He is now 43 years of age. He Is said
to have a good prison record.
