lined with batteries and the country on
both sides OF the river was filled with
Confederstes.
The night was very dark and Cush-
Ing arrived near the Albemarlo before
being discovered, Notwithstanding that
he was obliged TO pass close 10 the hulk
OF the Union steamer Southiield, sunk
in the channel some months before by
the Albemarle, on which a Confederate
picket was stationed.
He found boom OF logs around the
Albemarle, making his task apparently
hopeless, for on his discovery heavy
fire was opened on him, with rifles and
howitzers, from the ram md the shore.
Drove Over Logs.
Under this CALLING fire, with his men
falling dead around him, Cushing head
ed his launch for the boom OF logs At
full speed and drove her over them.
Then, working as calmly as II in
drill, he placed the long pole, on which
was fixed his torpedo, under the bow
OF the ram. While doing this he stood
directly in front of the ships great gun,
which, IL discharged, would have
blown him and his boat into atoms.
With the torpedo placed, he ,yamly
pulled the four ropes which we're to
discharge H. Bullets cut his Goat half
of his back while he was \dolng this,
but he had planted the explosive 10 his
satisfaction, and it exploded AZ he
wished.
Then Boat Sank
lust as the torpedo went of, with a
mighty detonalion, a charge OF 100
pounds OF grapesfrot crashed into
Cushing's torpedo boat, sinking her.
Cushing swan half mile down stream,
while Confcderates swarmed It's banks
looking for him, and into lagoon in
swamp. Here, While lying hidden,
he heard from passing Contederates
that the AlbemarIe had sunk at her
docks.
Gushing found boat, in which he
made his escape to the fleet Only one
man escaped, the others being killed or
taken prisoners
The destruction of the Albemarle
went far toward breaking the strength
OF the Confedefatcs on the South NJ
lantic coast
Lieutenant Cushing was a native OF
Wisconsin and came of family that
furnished several distinguished men to
the United States army and navy. His
death occurred in this city in 1874,
when he was but " years OF age.

SUBMARINE WAR
IN '64 RECALLED
BY ANNIVERSARY
How Lieut. Cushing Torpedoed
Confederate "AIbermarIe,"

WASHINGTON, D. c. In these day,
OF stirring naval warfare, in which the
submarine and its deadly torpedo play
one OF the most conspicuous parts, Il Is
not without interest TO recall that to-
day is the seventy-iifth anniversary OF
the birth Of Lieut. William Barker
cushing, a gallant officer OF the United
States navy and one Of the first to
employ the torpedo with success in
actual warfare
The feat Of Lieut. Cushing in blowing
up the famous Confederate ram Abe :
marie with torpedo was one OF the
most brilliant exploits in the naval
history Of the American civil war.
Rams Were Effective.
The Confederates had caused the
federal navy a great deal Of worry and
not small loss in vessels, with their
armored rams, which proved their best
offensive weapon N the sea, next TO
their commerce dcstroycrs.
The. Albermarle was completed early
in 1904, in the Roanoke river, and in
the spring came out and attacked a
naval force near Plymouth, sinking one
vessel and disabling another A hun
tted-pound rifle shot made no impress
sion on her armoured sides.
On May s she had second en-
counter with federal vessels, seven of
them attacking her without result FL
forts TO blow her up with torpedVes
proved unayaiing.
Then Gushing Came,
At this juncturc Gushing, who had
been in command OF a small steamer
watching for blockade runners, pro-
posed to destroy the ram as she lay
At her berth in the river His plan was
brilliant and involved great risk TO all
who should engage IN It's execution.
IL was, IN short, 10 equip two small
boats with torpedoes rigged on poles,
And, by approaching the ram at night.

Two open launches, building at New
York for picket duty were secured,
but one Of them was lost on her way

Wilson Considers Plan 70 Aid
America and Allies,

WASHINGTON, ID. Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board will be
the dictator OF American ocean trans
portation il plan now being cor
sidered by President Wilson is adopted
The proposal was discussed at the
cabinet meeting today in connection
with the general project OF co-ordinat-
ing more closely all the war activities
OF the nation and establishing at home
the same unity Of action by government
agencies President Wilson is demand
ing abroad on the part Of the allies.
Under the suggested PLAN the chair
man of the shipping board would exer'
else supreme authority over the dispo-
sition OF all American tonnage except
army transports and naval craft H'
would designate the ships assigned tc
carry supplies TO the allies and drec
their employment on return voyages e
csrry imports TO the United States foI
private and public use.
Control Of All Shipping.
He would direct the transfer OF ships
from the Pacific ocean, the great lakes
and the coastwise trade to the Atlantic
overseas commission He would have
sole control of the assignment Of car
goes TO all ships.
II Is contended that nothing short OF
the establishment OF an ocean tranSpor-
tation dictatorship will end the con-
fusion and waste Of tonnage that now
exists with various independent
agencies controlling various ships
Under existing conditions scores Of
ships are tied up at docks for long
periods, awaiting the particular cargoes
they are to carry, whereas a transpor-
tation dictator could load them at once
with other cargoes.
The shipping board announced today
the completion Of eight more of the
ships building in this country for for
eign account which were commandeered
by the United States, making total Of
twenty-eight such vessels. Six Of the
eight ships accepted and soon TO be
launched have> been built on the great

SEARCH FOR GORILLA MAN" AS
ONE WHO KILLED KOHLER GIRL

A city-wide search was begun to-
day for the "goriIla-faced man" who
is believed to have been the slayer of
Kathryn Kohler, 933 N. Monticello
av., murdered Sunday night.
The search for this man was be-
gun on the description Of him. given
the police by John Thorpe, IS, son
of bet. Serg's Geo. Thorpe, 842 N.
LawndaIe aY Thorpe said he was
a block away when the girl was shot,
that he ran to the spot and the man
showed a gun to his-Tibs, telling him
to keep quiet. He believes he can
identify the man.
At the same time the police are
puzzled at the doubts thrown on
Thorpe's story by August Noel, 835
Monticello av., who said he was the
first to reach the girl after she was

shot. He said the boys story was
not true in detail.
The police are also seeking the
hysterical man who appeared at the
Hotel Marion, Canal and Madison,
and asked for Kathryn Kaler, about
two hours after the shooting. He
told weird story about hunting his
lost sister. Between sObs he asked
what could be done to him if he shot
her. At the Hotel Berlin, where he
registered, he could not be found
few hours later.

WERE Welded BY RECORD BUT
NOT BY CONSENT.
Look up the marriage records in
the county clerks Office and you will
note that Susie Foltin, q, 1922 Bur
lington st., and John Bogdan were
married May II, 1916, by the Rev.
Sam1 Shultz on license taken out
May 8.
Only Miss Foltin today insists that
she was never married to Bogdan or
anyone else.
According to c. R. Janduce, attor-
ney who for Miss FOltin today fled
suit in circuit court to have the mar
Tiage record wiped from the books,
the two did take out a license on May
8. The two then went to the home
Of the Rev. Schultz, 727 w. 18th pI.,
and asked him to perform the cere-
mOny on May 10, allowing the weeks
notice of bans this German Evangel-
ical Lutheran church required.
In the meantime Miss FOltin exer-
cised a woman's privilege and
changed her mind. Bogdan, discon-
ISOLATE, disappeared and has not been
heard OF since by, his former fiance.
Later Miss Foltin discovered that
the minister had filed out the mar
rage license and forwarded it to the
county clerk, where there is now a
record Of a marriage that never
took place.
It is believed the minister, having
had several marriages on May Is and
having on his books the notice of the
bans, forgot that he
had not married the couple.

but for what they expect will happen
in the future. But this is not the en-
tire falsity of their plea. The real
fact is that they are buying coal and
oil from themselves or from subsid-
larry companies which they control.
The. United States census reports
show that the railroads own ONE
FOURTH of all the coal in the Unit
ed States. The Western Maryland
railroad will buy from the Consol-
dation Coal Co., which it owns, the
Lackawanna from the Delaware &
Lackawanna Coal Co, which it
owns; the Central of New Jersey
from the Lehigh & Wlkesbarre Coal
Co., which it owns, and so forth
throughout the country. The. oil
burning roads likewise own their oil
supplies. The Southern Pacific, for
example, could supply the, entire -,
country with oil for years to come.
There is reason to believe that the
roailrOads are anxious for govern
ment ownership because they be-
ieve they can sell to the government
at price that will cover all the wa
ter already injected, and as the hold
ers Of government securities be as
sured Of unfailing incomes forever. |
