A America Discovers Secret
OF Noninflamn1able Gas;
To Make Navy Supreme
Dirigibles Thus Will Become Impervious to
Attack, Rendering Anti-Aircraft Guns
Obsolete, Experts Assert

The United States is the sole pos
SCISSOR of the secret process by which
an absolutely noninfiammable gas can
be obtained from helium. Experts
say that makes this country mistress
of the air.
1t developed today through a dis
patch to the Navy Department from
Admiral Sims that "argon," which
the United States is to manufacture
in the 100000 plant in Texas, is the
war camouflage" name for the
helium referred to by the admiral. BY
the use of argon in rigid airships the
anti-aircraft gun becomes obsolete.
That rigid airships can make continu-
Gus flight for 5000 or more miles is
soon to be demonstrated by Great
Britain.
Cannot Use "Argon.,
The British government ships, how
ever, will not use argon or helium
because, according to Admiral Sims,
the United States is in possession of
the only known source of helium.
This noninfiammable gas will make
our ships practically invulnerable to
attack" This. of course, will go far
toward scrapping the anti aircraft
guns Of other nations as against an
American Zeppelin using argon or
helium

ADMITS KILLING
OFFICER PAYNE
Colored Man When Arrest
ed Says He Fired in
Self Defense.

In less than forty-eight hours
after William f. Payne, prohibition
agent, was shot and killed in a
fight with an alleged bootleg
ger" in Rosslyn, Va, the Alexan-
dria County authorities arrested the
negro who, they declare, is respon-
sibIe.
He is Benjamin f. Johnson. 81
years of age, a resident of Hat
field Station. The Virginia police
say Johnson has confessed. His
arrest ends one of the most deter
mined man hunts ever staged in
Alexandria County.
Payne was the man most feared
by the "bootleggers" in the coun-
ty and the authorities lost no time
hunting his murderer.
Prisoner Bore Marks.
The negro was arrested at the
home of a woman named Oliver. II
is said he told Sheriff Fields, De-
putty Davis and Detectives Baur
Scrivener, and Kelly that he shot
Payne in self-defense. The police
Immediately began to question
Johnson, the latter contradicting
himself several times.
The fact that Payne's gun was
not discharged. in the opinion of
the police, disproves Johnson's
story about his shooting the man in
self-defense. Johnson weighs close
to 200 pounds and when arrested
bore the marks of having been ir
a hard fight.
He had a bullet wound in his leg
which, the police say, was caused

yesterday by navy experts that this

Manning covered up his secret. The

Clemenceau Still Unable to

Bullet $ Pressure.

Paris, Feb. 23.-Premier CIcmen-
ceau's condition is unchanged today.
He is unable to lie down because OF
pressure from the bullet, which is still
lodged in his chest. He coughs rare
ly. but more violently.
Although his physicians issued for
NAL orders to Premier Clemenceau
that he must see no callers, the pa
tient insisted yesterday upon making
an exception with the chief delegates
of the Big Five" He had a brief
but important conference with Col.
Edward NJ. House and Foreign Min
listers Balfour and Pichon, discussing
the major questions before the Peace
Conference.
The doctors barred the sick room
doors to all other callers. They told
newspaper men that the Tigers"
dynamic energy was unabated. but
his temperature had risen slightly
during the day.
The premier himself persists in his
confident belief that he will be back
in the saddle by the middle of next
week.

Clemenceau's Case
Regarded as Similar
To That of Mckinley

London, Feb. 23.-From an Ameri-
can in closest touch with American
diplomatic and Peace Conference
officials arriving from Paris last
night, 1 learn that there Is little
hope for Premier Clemenceau's re-
covery despite the optimistic bull
letins.
The aged French premier's case
exactly parallels that of President
McKinley's because chronic diabetes
probably will prevent healing of the
wound, though the Tiger" may
linger for several weeks because of
his remarkable vitality.
This is the true condition as
known in the inner circles of the
French government. though it is
jealously guarded from the public.
The Tigers" death would bring
about a most difficult political sit
uation in France and one with great
bearing upon the ultimate peace
treaty. Three recognized candi-
dates for the premiership are Adcrie
Tardieu, former Premier BRAND and
the Socialist leader, Albert Thomas.
OF these three men NJ. Tardieu is
considered the most logical success
sor to Clemenceau as regards prob
ability of the latter's policies being
carried through, especially CIemen-
ceau's recognized conservative poll
cies relative to the league of ma
tions, exaction of reparation and in
demnity, as well as regards inclusion
of the Saar Valley in the Alsace
boundaries.
French Socialists are bitter
against Tardieu, though willing to
accept BRAND as a compromise can
didate If they should be unable to
swing Thomas to the Premiership.
