ENERGY IDEAL
FOR TORPEDO coNTRo.
Fortifications Subcommittee Recon-.
mends Government Purchase of Ex-
elusive Patent Rights.

There is much local interest in the
prospective purchase by the govern
ment of the invention of John Hays
Hammond, Jr., for the wireless con-
troll of torpedoes, Fishers Island hav-
ing been prominently mentioned as
the location of a plant to be erected
in connection with the practical APP
p1ication of the discovery. The forti-
fications subcommittee Of the house
committee has decided to include in
it's bill recommendation for the pur-
chase of exclusive patent rights in
the apparatus referred to. 1t is claim
ed by those interested in the inven-
ton that the United States will come
into control of the newest and dead
Hest engine of modern warfare
through such legislation.
The subcommittee bill, it is said
will recommend that all appliances,
mechanisms and patent rights en-
bodied in more than 100 secret pat
ent application be purchased for the
use of this country. Mr.. Hammond
has refused to consider offers which
he is understood to have received from
foreign governmental A practical tor
pedo controlled from shore has been
sought by military experts for a num-
Der of years.
Wireless energy Is considered ideal
for torpedo control as the wireless
| waves travel instantly from the op-
orator to the torpedo. The Hammond
torpedo control system uses wireless
either from the shore or an aerOplane.

| along an entire coast line against an
enemy fleet. Other secret uses of the

| tenn comes into control of the United
States, whose officers have recently

WILSON MAKES FURTHER
PROTEST TO ENGLAND
New Note On Mail Seizures Is En-
phatic-To Be Dispatched to
London at Once.

Washington, May 23.-The new note
to Great Britain making further pro-
test against interference with Ameri-
can mails has been laid before Presi-
dent Wilson and probably will be sent
to London at once. The general terms
of the note were framed at the State
department but the President is includ-
ing some of his own language
The note is understood to protest
particularly against the taking of yes
sells into British ports and there ex-
aiming and retaining mail going to
and from the United States. The
American note will make plain that
the United States cannot consent to
continuance Of the policy to which it
already has objected.

Vote for Wilson.

st. Louis, May 23.-Up to date 800
of the 1902 delegates to the Demo-
cratic National convention have been
chosen-everyone pledged to vote for
President Wilson's denomination. Not
since 1900 has a Democratic conven-
ton met with such complete harmony
of action promised. So far only IA
seats are contested, six each from Ha-
waii and Porto Rico, where improper
practices are alleged and two from
the First district of New York, where
a faction headed by Ralph Pulitzer is
contesting seating of Organization
opponents.

Minneapolis, May %. The way
John A. Stewart of New York city
sees it, Major General Leonard Wood,
commander-in-chief of. the United
States army, stands an excellent
chance of being the presidential nom
inee of the Republican national con-
Vention. Mr.. Stewart after making
preliminary arrangements for General
Wood to speak here within the next
two weeks, voiced the line Of logic by
which he reaches his conclusion.
In the opinion of Mr. Stewart, Meth
or Colonel Roosevelt nor Justice
Hughes has sufficient strength to poll
a majority-of the delegates. Mr.. Root
MI. Stewart thinks, is not as strong
as either of the two mentioned.

CLASH WITH VlLLlSTAS.

american Leader Tells Mexicans Prop

Would Be Given to Original Own
ers-De Facto Soldiers Then
March Away.

Field Headquarters, via wireless to
Columbus, N. NJ, May 23.-Cavalry re-
turning here from far southern march
es brought news of brusque demands
made upon them by General Cava-
EOS, the Carranza officer in command
of several thousand men now polio
ing the section of Chihuahua from
Parral northward to San Antonio.
The demands were made on the
Eleventh cavalry, in command of
Major Robert L. Howe, few days
ago. This cavalry, after annihilating
half of large band of Villistas
at Ojos Azules, was resting south of
San Antonio.
Refuses to Retreat.
General CavaZos first demanded the
corn which the American troopers had
seized from the defeated Villistas,
next the horses which the Americans
had taken. He was notified that any
property would be paid for but that
the money would be given to the orig
inal owner of the property.
Finally Cavazos demanded that the
Americans retreat northward. This
was fatty refused. The Carranza
commander then requested permission
to march past, or through the Ameri-
can position to consolidate his COM
mand with achievements and this
was granted
Carrangistas March Past.
The Americans were drawn up on
the crest of hill when the Carran-
.istas marched past. A bearded
American soldier said:
Half Of that command was COM
posed. of boys, some not more than 10
or IA years of age.
ut was by such troops that we were
told we had been threatened. Those
boys would not stand one chance in a
thousand against our expert shots-it
would be almost murder to engage
them," he added.
Howe was ordered to fall back on
account Of progress made at the
border conference. After the Ameri-
cans had withdrawn, there were cele-
brations and shouts of victory" in
San Antonio and nearby towns.

RELIGION OF CHRIST NEEDED in
THIS MOST CRUCIAL PERIOD IN
HISTORY, BAPTIST DELE
GATES ARE TOLD.
WOULD REACH LIVES OF
MASSES; HIT POLITICS
Former Illinois Progressive Leader
Addresses Brotherhood Banquet in
oIis-Says Gospel Must
BE Made Adequate to Dominate
Social and Economic Life.

Minneapolis. May 23.-The religion
of Christ is adequate to meet and
solve in a practical manner all the So
cial and economic problems which
front the world in this, the most cru
cial period in the history of mankind,
said Raymond Robins of Chicago in
an impassioned address at the brother
hood banquet of the Northern Baptist
convention. His subject was Chris
tianity's Social Challenge" Mr.. Rob
ms was the Progressive candidate for
United States senator from Illinois
against Senator Sherman two years
ago.
Challenge to Christianity Today.
t"The Challenge to Christianity in
the Twentieth century is not the same
as in the First century, said Mr..
Robins. There was time for individ-
ual religion; today the challenge is
have you a religion which will reach
down into the lives of the masses and
give them a chance, which will reach
into politics and unseat the unworthy,
which will regenerate social condi-
tions?"
World Hard to Convince.
"The world believes we don't mean
our Christianity, that we won't fight
for it or apply it's principles to our
own lives. When we meet the needs
of the whole life of the whole world
we will do more to vitalize Christian
ity than we have ever done. / believe
thoroughly in individual redemption
from sin, but unless you apply your
regenerated life to the need at your
door the world won't believe you.
To Make Gospel Practical.
E'The greater 80 years of human his
tory stretches before you. We must
put the gospel into practical applica-
ton in a way which will make it ade-
quate to support and dominate the So
cial and economic life of the world
The Brotherhood unanimously nomi-
mated DR.. e. A. Hanley of Franklin
college, Indiana, as the next president
of the organization, subject to action
by the Brotherhood council.

TO TAKE UP HERESY CHARGE
Committee Calls for Reprimand of
New York Presbytery.

Atlantic City, N. j., May 23.-Des-
pite the efforts of the administration
forces of the Presbyterian general as
sembly to have the charges of heresy
against the New York Presbytery set
tied in committee, it was learned that
the committee on bills and overtures
had reached a definite understanding
and that the matter will be brought
to the floor of the convention. The
committee will reach a compromise
agreement, recommending that the
New York presbytery be reprimanded
and given to understand that it must
exercise more caution in the future.
