BATTLESHIP TO
BECOME TARGET
Big Guns of Atlantic Fleet Will
Be Trained On Radio Con-
trOlled i. S. S. Iowa.
(BX Associated Press. J

Washington, July &c. - The once
famous battleship Iowa, which played
no small part in the destruction OF
Ceveras fleet at Santiago, is being pre-
pared 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 seaplanes, the old sea =
fighter will become the objective OF
the big guns of the Atlantic fleet super
dreadnoughts in Chesapeake bay late
this summer. This will be the first
time that American warships have used
a moving craft for 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 prac-
tice will give the gunpointers Of the
Atlantic fleet 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 sys-
tenn, necessitating a change in range on
all firing ships, exactly as would occur
in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
Of some Of its guns and much valuable
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 a stationary 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.

Detroit, July 26-Search for Eugene
Leroy, whose wife's muti1ated body
was found jammed in trunk shipped
from Detroit to New York, assumed
nation wide proportions today. De-
scriptions of Leroy was sent to police
of all large cites after it was determin-
ed that Roy Millen arrested in Chicago
was not Leroy.
A detective has left for Birmingham
to bring to Detroit Allen A. Tatum,
who knew Mrs. Leroy intimately, in
hopes that he will aid in throwing
light on Leroy's whereabouts.
Tatum's name was written On the
trunk and he is reported to have ex-
pressed the belief that the husband
killed his wife through jealousy when
he learned she was going with Tatum
and used Tatum's name on the trunk
with revenge as the motive. The
second trunk believed to have been
sent to New York and thought to con-
tain the woman's vital organs is be-
ing sought.
The woman was positively identified
today by clothes found in the trunk
with the body by Patrolman and Mrs.
Trumbull, intimate friends of the Le-
roys.
Police said the woman was the di-
vorced wife of Southern Puglist
named Jackson when she married Le-
roy, and that her maiden name was
Katherine Dixon and her home, Stark
