HANGED

Bristol, Va.-Tenn., September IA
Condemned as having forfeited her
right to live under the laws OF Ten
nessee, "Murderous Mary" a big fe-
male circus elephant, today was put
to death at Erwin, Tenn.
Having none of the quick poisons at
hand the showmen chose to hang the
beast. A derrick car of the Carolina
Chinchefld and Ohio Railway was
used. Heavy chains were looped about
the elephants neck. and the steam-op-
Grated crane lifted the massive form
into the air, The animal struggled
for quite a while before death finally
resulted from strangulation. y
The showmen are said to have ad-
mitted that Mary had slain her eighth
man. Her last victim was Walter Ed
ridge, a virginian, who was gored to
death at Kingsport. Tenn. last Tues
day. Showmen valued the animal al
$4,000.

TARGET ELEVEN MILES DISTANT
HIT FIVE TINES BY THE BIG
GUNS OF THE SUPER
DRRADNOUGHT PENN.
SYLVANIA

Washington, September 14-A new
worlds record in naval gunnery has
been made by the new superdread-
nought Pennsylvania, the Navy De-
partment announced tonight Credit
for the feat is given to the big battle
ships twelve fourteen-inch rifles,
mounted as a main battery in four
turrets, which on a simultaneously
discharge in a recent trial registered
five hits on a small target IL miles
away At that distance a target is not
visible to the gunners. -
Records of the highest scores ever
made under similar circumstances
have been examined by naval officers,
but none equaling that of the Penn
sylvania has been found
The Pennsylvania is the first YES
sci to have its entire main battery
mounted three guns to turret, and
her performance is declared by ordi-
nance and construction officers to be
the final answer to critics opposing the
three-gun turret system.
The Nevada and Oklahoma, also new
additions to the navy, are equipped
with two three-gun and two two-gun
turrets. Neither of these has been
able to compete with the Pennsylvania,
although both made unusually good
scores during their preliminary prac-
tlce.
The Pennsylvania and Oklahoma at
the present time are undergoing their
final test. and. Navy Department re-
ports say, are fulfilling the required
specifications In highly satisfactory
manner.

MENT SATISFIED

Washington, September 14-Both
Japan and Russia have given the Unit
ed States formal assurances that the
new Russo-Japanese treaty does not
repeal or affect the treaties OF 1907
and 1910. in which those nations
pledged themselves to maintain the
integrity of China and the open door
policy.
The assurance were given to Ambas-
sailors Guthrie at Tokyo and Francis
a; Petrograd. in response to inquiries.
The State Department today received
from Mr. Guthrie a note on the sub
ject addressed to him by the Japanese
Foreign Office, stating in unequivocal
terms that Japan had not for a mo.
ment entertained an intention of de-
parting from these policies.
Department officials let 1t be known
that the statements were entirely sat
isfactory. and that inquiries regarding
the new treaty, over which they had
been considerably perturbed, probably
would not be pressed further.
The treaties of 1907 and 1910 be.
tween Japan and Russia affirmed
China's territorial integrity and tn;
open-door policy.
State Department officials feel these
assurances leave no doubt as to the
regard for American interests in Chins

yet been made public. Officials expec
that copy of the new convention viii
