MAKE. BIG GUNS ABS0LETE
Western inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
Of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be n
highly effective war implement, and, If
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
lions, is a self-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colorado. 1t is described in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In general way, the in
strument attempts to accomplish over
land what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method of operation, Of
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred, II consists Of a small
aircraft-much like an ordinary BIZ
plane-carrying large, high-explosive
torpedo which 1t Is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within q
certain radius. The projectile, which
Is about twelve feet In length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel-
Ter Is mounted ut the front end Of 1t.
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where an 1S-horsepower motor
Is housed. The speed and course Of
the machine are regulated by means OF
gyroscopic mechanism, while a tim
ing device Of some sort releases the
engine containing missile at the prop
er instant for ir to strike its target

$50 DROWNED IN FLOOD
Two Passenger Trains, Ono a Sunday
School Excursion, Missing In
West Virginia.

Huntington, w. Va. Aug. 11.-Gov-
ernor Hatfield, who arrived here on
Wednesday to attend the state Repub-
llcan convention, ordered special re-
lief trains to the Coal river and Cabin
creek districts, where, according to re-
ports, more than $50 have been
drowned and 5000 made homeless. So
serious is the situation that Governor
Hatfield left the city to go to the scene
Of the devastation.
The governor was Informed that at
Cabin creek the loss of life would ex-
coed 100 and that more than 5000
there are homeless. Later reports esti-
mated the damage ut $1,O00,000.
The cloudburst occurred at the head.

Coal river, and the torrent which
surged down Coal river swept its banks
almost clean of villages, while the
Kanawha river rose several feet
carrying on Its crest houses and build
ings OF all kinds.
Near st. Adams are marooned two
passenger trains, one Of which is d
Sunday school excursion train. Moth
ing has been heard from either.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives of Solomon Island Take Adj
vantage of War to Gather
Trophies.

At first sight there does not seem
to be a very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to a Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. s. W. correspondent. Brit
ish, and occasionally German war;
ships patrolled the islands and en-
deavored to keep down cannibalism
among the natives, who are largely of
Papuan or Malayslan stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall OF the
British warshlps-and the happy head
hunter has been free TO follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by a mountain
tribe upon small village near the
coast no less than 90 heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganize In time. AS consequences
the raids are growing more dangerous,
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con-
stantly to keep on their guard.

Surrogates' Court. Which
Refused to Probate 1t

The Appellate Division yesterday re-
versed the refusal Of the Surrogates'
Court TO probate the will OF MIS-
Amelia Gertrude Cutter, widow OF
Henry T. Cutter, who was one OF the
founders Of Hegeman & Co, druggists,
and whose estate was valued at more
than sl.5Oo,OO0. The higher court
holds that there was no undue In
auence afirmatively shown on the trial
Of the contest and that apparently
the testatrix was aware Of the dispo-
sition made Of her estate in the will
The contest will be retired before a
Jury in the Surrogates' Court.
Mrs. Cutter died April 3, 1914, at the
age of seventy three. She was addict
ed to the use OF morphine and codein
up TO the day Of her death. In the
contested will she gave much Of her
estate 10 charitable institutions to be
chosen by her executors.
The executors were George Ramsey
formerly vice-president OF Hegeman
q Co. who received 100000 under the
will. and ". McMsster Mills, who was
manager of the Plaza branch Of the
Union Trust Company, and whose leg
acv was 100000. Frank VI. Tichenor, a
LAWYER, who received 100000 IN an
earlier will. was scaled down TO $50
600 DR.. Henry ". Frauenthal, chief
surgeon OF the Hospital for Deforml-
ties and Joint Diseases. was to re-
ceive $4,000. The will was executed
on March 81. a short time before the
death Of Mrs. Cutter.
In denying probate IT was pointed
out that although one of her visitors
was a doctor and she was III no effort
was made TO engage a nurse for her o.
have her removed to a hospital. she
lived amid filth and disorder, into
which she and her husband had fallen
