Yard

There are five submarines az the
Navy Yard. None of these are avail
able for real service at present. Two
have no engines and one is being used

rotary Daniels has asked for an ap-
preparation of 1904 900 for testing the
new system Of propulsion, which, ac
cording TO naval officers. does away
with storage batteries altogether and
therefore with the danger TO the crew
from chlorine gas.

Purchased Arsenic
From q Druggist

They learned he had purchased
quantity Of arsenic from a downtown

It. They learned that he had obtained
several cultures OF deadly bacilli, which
he afterward confessed he tried to use
for murderous purposes, but failed.
They established that he had bribed an

him with their proofs.
