Battleship Iowa Becomes a Target


Washington, D. c., July 26.-The
once famous battleship Iowa, which
played no small part in the destruc-
tion of Cevera's fleet at Santiago, is
being prepared at the Philadelphia
navy yard for what naval officers
say will be one of the most unique
target EXPERIMENTS ever attempted.
Proceeding unnamed, but under
her own steam and controlled by
radio, probably from sea planes, the
old sea fighter will become the OBJ
jective of the big guns of the At
lantic fleet uperdreadnaughts in
Chesapeake bay late this summer.
This will be ,the first time that
American warships have used
moving target except in actual war.
Two of the Iowa's coal burning
boilers are being converted to burn
oil so the ship may continue under
way with no one aboard once her
fires have been started burning and
her engines placed in motion.
1t is expected that the unique
practice will give the opportunity
of the Atlantic feet an opportunity to
test their ability under conditions as
nearly like those to be expected in
battle as can be obtained Smoke
screens will be thrown around the
Iowa during the runs and the course
will be changed at will through the
radio control system, necessitating a
change in range on all the firing ships,
exactly as would occur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of some of its guns and much valu-
able metal and the practice will be
continued until the old vessel, mass
of twisted metal, sinks beneath the
waves to join the old Texas, which, as
the San Marcos, was used for sta
tionary target years ago.
The battleship Ohio has been turned
over to the bureau of steam engineer
. ing for purposes of experiment in
radio control and staff of expert
technical officers has been placed on
board to arrange the Iowa practice.

boy who had hit Paris on AWOL and

To make it worse, there was an all

.. The brother looked around him out
of half closed eyes, on every side

city streets. Dazzling beams Of
white light stabbed the heavens

drew forth his remaining possession:
"a bottle of vim blanc. a pack Of

MASKED MEN RAID GAMES
AND SALOONS, STEAL $4,000

New York. April 27.-As the re-
suit of an orgy of holdups in New
York, $4,000 in money and jewelry
has changed hands. and virtually
the entire detective force of the
city has been called into the hunt
for gangs of bold highwaymen who
lined their victims against the wall
in true Western fashion and escaped
in Eastern fashion in automobiles.
The biggest haul and perhaps the
most daring of the Jobs was the
raiding of a dice game in a fiat at
730 East Fifth street, where more
than twenty men were relieved of
their money, amounting to $1,000,
and their jewelry, including rings,
watches, cuff links and scarf pins.
Thirteen patrons of saloon at
IA kenox avenue were relieved of
$3.50 by three masked men with re-
volvers.
Three other masked men lined nine
men and a woman against a wall
at 1851 Third avenue and helped
themselves to $1,000 in cash and
jewelry.

murder at Sandy Spring Monday
night" Governor, Ritchie, of Mary

ut is shame that the State can
not take some definite means to
halt such oHtlawry. but the best we
can do now is to put every means
at our disposal into the chase to
apprehend the ruffians." he added.
Il do not think the one action
sufficient to necessitate a State con-
stabulary," Governor Ritchie re-
piled in answer to question of the
establishment of such an organiza-
tion. Furthermore, constabulary
cannot be organized without an act
by the legislature and a special ap-
preparation by that body. The
