MESSAGES WERE SENT !
IN THREE4NCH SHELLS

New York. June GA hollow
three-inch shell, fused to emit on
striking a gas OF smoke-like density
by day, and luminous at night. and
used to transmit messages from di-
vision headquarters, to advanced or
exposed positions, is another war
time secret which has now been
made public.
This form of communication was
first used by the Germans. and after
ward adopted by the allies. A sam
pie OF the shell-one that was cap
tured from the enemy during the St.
Mihiel drive-was brought home by
Vice|Admiral Albert Gleaves on his
return from France.
According to Admiral Gleaves,
the shell has a range of about 1000
yards. and is self propelling: It's
velocity was such as to require IA
seconds to travel that distance, "slow
enough" the admiral said, to enable
an active man to dodge it, should he
see or hear it coming, When IL
struck, 1t could be readily located by
its smoke cloud by day, or its light
by night, picked up, cap unscrewed
and the message inside delivered tc

said, TO recruit an army OF 1000. 900

FRISCO TAKES GREAT
INTEREST IN "PUGS"'

San Francisco, June 6.-In no
city in the country are Jess Willard,
the heavyweight champion boxer,
and challenger, Jack Dempsey, bet
ter known among the followers Of
the ring than in this city Both
men practically made their start here
that is their serious ring careers,
although both men had fought prac-
tically as unknowns before coming
here. For this reason an unusual
amount of interest is being taken
here in the championship contest
which is slated to be staged at To-
ledo on Independence Day.
willard's fight against Gun
boat" Smith in which Willard lost
the decision, was the first real op-
portunity followers of the ring here
had of estimating the worth Of Will
lard. 1t is recalled that Willard did
not make much OF reputation for
himself as fighter but his great
bulk was the wonder of the day 1t
frequently was commented ON at the
time that II Willard ever gained the
championship 1t would be more
through his enormous size than Ter
any particular ability he rad as a
tighter.
Willard engaged in several minor
bouts here after his meeting with
Smith but he failed to convince the
sporting fraternity. He made a poor
showing against Charlie Miller in "a
four round bout. Miller, who is a
motorman, had little to recommend
him aside from his size and rugged
ness in making Willard practically
run away from him during the IL
minutes of boxing. This was called
draw by the referees.
Dempsey, on the other hand. made
a decided hit from the start and 1t
was predicted that he was a fighter
who must be taken into considera-
tion sooner or later. Under the cir
cumstances 1t is not difficult to ac-
count for the strong Dempsey senti-
ment which exists here among ring
followers, the majority of whom. as
far as can he determined, believe
Dempsey will be returned the victor
after his meeting with the present
champion. Those who favor Will
lard continue to point to his great
bulk rather than to his fighting
ability which later however, they
say undoubtedly has improved
through experience since he fought
here.

L0VEALL MAKES TWO
ATTEMPTS At SUICIDE

Thomas A.oveall. the insane man
who, upon his own request, was
locked up in the county Jail on June
3. tried twice last night to commit
suicide. The only other inmate OF
the Jail is Roy Cox. a fine looking
young man. but who dabbled with
the forbidden firewater on too large
a scale and fell into the clutches OF
the local police.
Mr.. Cox told Courier reporter
this morning that I.oveall made his
first attempt at self-destruction last
evening Just before dark. The two
men were out in the corridor, when
I.oveall slipped back into cell. un-
noticed by Cox Tearing his red
bandana into strips he plated 1t
and made a short rope for the pur-
pose OF hanging himself, Presently
Cox was attracted by hearing shuf-
fling sound. He turned and saw Cox
hanging by his neck in the cell, en-
deavoring to choke himself to death.
He quickly entered the cell and cut
the improvised rope from the big
mans neck.
Loveall promised to not repeat the
offense, but this morning about 4
o'clock. Cox was awakened by a
scraping sound and rising up he saw
that Loveall had broken his word
and was making second attempt
at suicide. He had taken a light
cotton blanket and rolled II up tight
ly. which made fair rope for the
purpose. His feet, which were
scarcely touching the floor, we're
scraping and kicking about, yet the
man made no attempt with his free
hands to relieve the strain on his
neck--he was bent on suicide.
Cox again cut the man down, This
time he was black in the face and
came near accomplishing his aim.
When asked this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Lister what he was
trying to do last night, Loveall an
swered that he wasn't trying to do
anything" His mind was blank
he remembered nothing of the ar
fair.
Today the sheriff telegraphed to
Salem for an attendant. who is ex,
pected to arrive here tonight and
who will place the man in the state
asylum. Goveall claims to have rel
atives residing at Salem.

Because He Was Mentioned As Assisting Artist
 Says MT. Hugo

UnIberto Sorrentino has cancelled his engagement for the concert which was to be given on November 24, at the Bridgeport High school and John Adam Hugo has gone to procure an other artist for the concert. In speaking of the matter today, Mrs. Hugo said: ''It was due to a typographical error in one of the pa pers which mentioned MT. Sorrentino as an assisting artist and he has seen fit to take the matter as a per sonal insult. All apologies have met with stubborn refusal.
 MT. Hugo always had the courtesy 1 to mention MT. Sorrentino's name first on tickets, programs, advertise ments and display cards. However, MT. Sorrentino has preferred to mis- understand and place his own inter l pretation on the natter | MT. Sorrentino's telegram to MT Hugo reads as follows:
 l Since you have dared to advertise
 me as an assisting artist for the con- l cert I created, I cancel my appear
 ance in Bridgeport for November 24
 l have already telegraphically noti-
 fled the local newspapers to this ef- i feet.

 grams, etc. I warn you if there is anything misrepresented as to why ]
 do not appear, anything said about illness or any other false excuse, ]
 will bring suit. My lawyers repre-
 sentative will be in the city and in the
 audience
 We have never had the slightest intention of offering any false ex- cuses about the matter" said Mrs
 Hugo. "On the contrary we wanted l the public to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
 "As MT. Sorrentino threatens that he
 will bring suit against MT. Hugo if his
 name is mentioned, we ask those who ihave already purchased t<ekets to
 scratch off MT Sorentino's name,
