masked men came through a hatch

what we now saw was not a monster,
but a strange kind Of e craft. Thus
began the strange voyage with that
remarkable character who called him
self Captain Memo, and in that strange
wonderful ship which he called the
Nautilus.
The Nautilus was a cigar-shaped
steel ship of 232 feet In length, 20 feet
beam and 1900 tons dead weight.
There were two bulls, one inside the
other Joined by T-shaped irons, which
rendered them OF almost uncrushable
strength. She was driven by electric
engines Of tremendous power. Tanks
which could be filed or emptied at
will enabled her to cruise on the sur
face or under the water as she pleased.
She was fitted with all kinds Of
working and %lounging quarters. In a
library were books on the sciences, |
morals, literature Of almost every Ian
guage. There was a drawing room
with a luminous ceiling which served
also as a museum. and into which an

rine treasures of the world: the rarest

From the inside of her a staircase
led to a platform or deck from which
rose two cages, partly enclosed by
thick glasses. One cage was for the
helmsman, the other Contained an cleo
trio searchlight to light the course
Of the ship in dark waters. On this
platform also was a place wherein was
stored a long-boat.
Captain Memo was tall and robustly-
built, with pale skin, lofty brow. and

CHICAGO STAGES
 NEW RACE RIOTS
(Ry United Press)

Chicago, Sept. 21. - Chicago's S "black belt" was in a state of seize all last night and until this morning when police reported that the situation was we'll in hand and that reserves stationed all through the section were ample to prevent other outbreaks. Charles Barrett, street car conduc- tor, was the only victim of the race riot last night. which started when Barrett attacked three negroes, said to have attacked white woman. Bar rett landed two blows before a negro almost decpitated him with razor.
 After Barrett's murder, a crowd quickly formed and gave pursuit to the negroes, who fled into St. Gabriel's Catholic church for refuge. The mob around the church was constantly swelled and soon had 1000 men with cudgels and axes ready to force their way into the edifice Police acted hur- riedly and concealed the fugitives in the parish house, where they remained until Police Chief Garrietty slipped them out of the house and took them in an automobile to the Hyde Park sta- tion.
 Eight men were seriously injured in this disturbance and others which occurred in the belt during the night. This morning at 8 o'clock, Chief Gar rletty said order had been restored.

(By United Press)

New York, Sept. 21.-Prospects to- day are that the Wall street bomb ex- tplosion will be added to the list of great and unsolved crime mysteries.
 The investigation has settled into a long and systematic hunt which will seek out and eliminate all clues until finally the right tracks is reached. Clues and theories so far uncovered have led the federal and municipal in- vestigators nowhere.
 Heavy guards were thrown about the customhouse today, following warnings that it would be blown up by a bomb this afternoon at o'clock.
 Business in the financial district proceeded today as usual.

London, Sept. 21.-There was little change in the condition of Lord May or MacSwiney today, the fortieth day of his hunger strike. Sim Fein bulle- tins reported that the mayor IS ex ceedingly weak.
 Leaders of the Sim Fein indignantly denied that the lord mayor is surpris- ingly we'll, but sulky and adverse to answering questions. The Sim Fein statement was in answer to rumors current on the streets that medicines have been added to water given the mayor, to ease stomach pains developed during the fast. The friends of the mayor denied that any medicine has passed his lips since the strike was started,

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Heavy police guards are on duty today in the stockyards district, following the race riots last night. Further reports of the riot show that the coolness of Father Thomas Burke, who held back the mob bent upon storming the church in which the negroes had taken refuge, averted a lynching. While Father Burke talked to the mob, po- lice spirited away the fugitives and the section became calm.

the Colonial theatre today is fully de-

Emma Dunn created the leading

Wednesday, June is

The Third Maine Regiment 1nfan-
try. under the command OF Col.
Harry N. Bigelow of Portland. will
leave this week for Camp Devens at
Aver, Mass, where it will be mob
ilized for two weeks for the annual
tour of duty. In other words. the
annual encampment will be held at
Camp Devens instead Of in this city
where the troops have been stationed
for a number Of years.
The muster field at Augusta is ira
ditional. and among men, of long
service in the National Guard warm
ly regarded, it is today as inadequate
for this purpose as would be the
State Park, opposite the State House.
There is no place here for either rife
or machine gun practice or for ma
mowers. In order to give the regi-
ment manoevers. il is necessary to
go out into the country for number
of miles. This is always expensive.
After the camp is over. farmers of
the countryside keep the State busy
settling bills for damages done by
the soldiers in their practice. It is
surprising how many apples reg
iment can consume, how many fences
they can knock down and how many
bars-pasture, of course-they will
leave open. as shown by these bills.
Under such conditions. the Angus

and acres, with hills and valleys,
