Same az Initiative Bill
Tho new prohibition bill will be a
duplicate OF the initiative measure,
with the exception or the closing time
as under the Initiative petition the
prohibition law would go into effect
on December 10 OF this year, when
the votes are canvassed.
Under the initiative petition II Is de.
clared by some that even matted milk
or any of the near beer beverages
can not be made and the new bill will
contain a proviso allowing the manu-
facture of these kind of beverages.
According to the men who engi.
neered the movement, the initiative
petition can be defeated at the polls
In November by tho combined action
OF the two organizations. The fact

OAKLAND, Cal, June 13.-Robert
Tyson, assistant probation officer. is
the owner OF two felines. Clinkers
and Cinders. They accompany him
on his pre-daylight trip through his
orchard. At the report of a gun they
dash off to get their prey, seldom
failing to return with a bird.
To such n remarkable degree has
Tyson trained the hunting instinct
in the felines that 1t is necessary TO

mittee representing the prohibition

considerable comment on the streets
last night, but apparently met with

Wets Start Movement
The movement originated with the
United Nevada Industries on Sunday
when Il. NJ. Preston, executive sec.
retary OF the organization broached
the subject OF ratifyiag the constitu

leaders OF the dry forces. Gov
Boyle was asked TO enter into the
conference, but declined to do SO a,
first on the ground that he could not
speak for the prohibition leaders and
later conference between Prestor
and S. w. Beltord was arranged.
This took place Monday Afternoon
and the whole matter was discussed
The ministers OF the city were called
into conference and approved the plan
and then Belford sent out a call fol
a meeting OF the heads OF the various
organizations representing the prohi
bitionists. This conference was held
and arrangements were then made
for committees representing bott
sides TO meet yesterday afternoon t
thrcsh out the proposition.
Those at Conference
In order TO inform all intereste ed

1.-THE use of pulverized coal on shore has
long passed the experimental stage, and it
Is admirably adapted to use on board ship.
1t will save 20 per cent OF the coal con-
sumption, besides producing no smoke.
Means have already been developed and
perfected by which pulverized coal may be
piped from the cylinders to any portion of
the ship by air pressure as freely and effec-
tually as oil Is piped."
The Italian Government has adopted
design worked out by Naval Constructor
Umberto Pugliese, which differs radically
from the design of the French naval en-
gineer, lie Parmentier, and from Mr..
MaXims design.
The Pugliese unsuitable freighter has a
swelling under water on each side Of the
ship In this outer hull is carried the
coarser cargoes. like coal. ore. grain, salt,
etc. If the torpedo strikes and explodes
against or into this outer shell Of the YES
sci tho force Of the explosion is taken up
without damage to the inner hull Of the
ship, which Is protected by strong water
tight bulkheads.
Describing this invention, the Scientific
American says:
eff the torpedo be adjusted to run nearer
the surface-say at depth Of five feet
its explosive violence would be greatly
slapped by the shallower stratum Of water
lying above the weapon. In other words,
the tamping effect Of the superposed water
would be cut down nearly two-thirds, and
the destructive gases would find CORE
spondingly easier path of dissipation up
ward instead Of horizontally and inward
upon the body of tho ship.
Engineer Pugliese counts upon the
character Of the bulk largo to absorb the
shock and to lower rapidly the tempera-
ture of the rending gases, and then by
suitable vents through the two decks above
to open further channels Of escape. 1t

more freely lifted than disturbed laterally
and upon this assumption the superheated
gases would find their line of least re-
distance upward and through the large
deck vents, which. in fact, are designed
to serve as loading matches.
1T will also be observed that the ont.
board stowage of freight is carried I'M to
the main deck, and this disposition of the
bulk cargo provides potentially effective
bulwark against shell attack from the guns
OF a submarine operating upon the sur
race. Likewise, the complete athwartships
stowage of cargo forward and abaft of the
vital area furnishes what is calculated TO
be shield against a raking fore .and-aft
fire.
Should. however, either the torpedo or
the mine have force enough to spread its
destructive work horizontally and athwart-
ships. then the gases will meet
triple defense in the form of three parallel
b1lkheads, together providing two air
spaces having total width Of substantially
b3 inches. Inside Of this barrier are
placed the vitals in the shape of boilers,
engines and stores"
1t was early IN the present year that the
first government effort was made to pro-
duce an unsuitable ocean freight ship. 1t
was decided to try out plans which had
been approved by the Naval Consulting
Board. and which had been submitted by
Mr.. William T. Donnelly.
Mr.. Donnellys scheme did not call for
special construction, but was aimed to ut
freight ships of all styles and models
which had been already built and were
plying the ocean. 1t was not an attempt
10 build new ships along any new line Of
construction. The Government picked out
a 10.0O0-ton steam freighter called the
Lucia for the experiment.
Ihis ship already had six watertight
bulkheads dividing her five cargo COM
partments, boiler room, engine room and Il
colilslon compartment in the forward part
OF the ship. The scheme was to build an
enormous number Of little watertight and
