GERMANS PERFECT
THREE BARREL GUN.

London, Oct. 18.-The Munich cor
respondents Of The London Times is
informed by an unnamed expert that
the Germans have perfected triple
barrelled machine gun, electrically
operated, weighing about twenty-five
pounds and capable Of spreading g.
900 bullets per minutes in a COM
plete circle. The three barrels could
be operated by gunner on land a
half-mile distant.
This is cited as an instance of Ger
man industries devising engines of
war, and the correspondent further
declares that Germay is concealing
her armies under civilian guise, and
that chemists are conducting re-
searches into poisonous gases and
psychological possibilities Of de-
struction.
The correspondent says that he has
heard the conviction expressed by
more than one authority" that the
Oppau explosion would not have oc.
CURED had no experimental worh
connected with the manufacture Of
engines Of war in some shape or form
been INDUCED in there"

BRITISH ARMY BOMB.

Paris. Oct. 20.--Investigation dis
closes that the bomb sent to the Am
erican consulate and intended for
Myron r. Herrick, the American am.
bassador, was of the British army
type.
Mr. Herrick's valet, who was a
former soldier in the British army is
familiar with the noise made by this
type of bomb when it explodes, and
so described it.
An attempt is being made to iden-
tify the sender Of the bomb by the
wrappings Of the package, but this
was injured by the explosion and il
is doubtful whether the address can
be deciphered on this account. Sc
far there is no clue to the sender of
the package.

ASK LEGION MEN
TO REMEMBER ROOSEVELT

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 20.-Com-
memoration of the sixty-third ami
versary of former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt's birth on October 81
is urged by John G. Emery nation
al commander of The American Le-
gion, in letter sent today to all le-
g.on posts. 20
''The American Army in France
and in the camps at home never had
a better friend than former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt" says
Commander Emery's letter. "If he
had had his wish he would have
fought and died at our side; as it
was, he fought the good cause at
home until, like the soldier on the
firing line, he fell, fighting with his
face to the enemy.
"By his vigorous efforts for pre-
paredness and national unity he
made all Americans his debtors. But
the men who wore the uniforms of
the United States are peculiarly in
his debt. No one will veer know
how many American lvies were saw
ed to future usefulness by his ap-
peals for adequate preparation be-
fore war camel and for public sup
port Of the nations fighting arm
while the war was in progress.
ION October 27 the nation will
commemorate the sixty-third ami
versary of Theodore Roosevelt's
Dirth. The National Commander urges
local posts throughout the country
either to organize celebrations Of
their own or to take active part in
whatever celebrations may be ar
ranged by other bodies in their COM
|munities."

Pritchard was electrocuted in the
the state prison at 1890 today for
the killing of F. w. Monnish a phil
anthropist Of Tuscaloosa, Ala, at

Harris left no statement. Two
shocks were necessary to cause his
death. He walked to the death chair
without tremor and calmly watch
led the attendants as they fastened
the electric harness to his body. He
waived the other prisoners who were
in their cells convicted of murder

To his spiritual adviser Rev. o. B.
Mitchell Of the Baptist church of
Cameron he said that he was prepar-
ed to go, and that he had nothing to
say. He told the minister that he
slept we'll during the night and ate q
hearty breakfast. Harris was IS years
of age.
Raleigh, Oct. 19.-Governo Nor
rison closed the door on Tom Harris
last night and in sweeping denial Of
all the statements Of Judge Frank
Carter said he would have no contro-
versy further.
Visitors to the Office yesterday saw
the futility of further appeal. Desper-
ate efforts were made last night. A
thousand kilograms imploring mercy
were received, 1t was said, but the
governor regarded this as natural and
does not marvel at it. The executive
mind may be described in sentence:
He believes Harris is sane and that
the murder was an assassination.
His final statement says he saw Miss
Bessie Harris yesterday. He evidently
was not impressed with her story
conveyed to him in Judge Carter's
final letter. This is what he says:
1T is untrue that the Baptists in
North Carolina have made any
threats against me, in the event
commute the sentence of Harris.
1T is untrue that Mr.. j. E. Swain
made an effort to influence me in
the matter.
1T is untrue that l have conting-
ent fee in any lawsuit pending before
Mr.. ]. E. Swain or elsewhere.
I'm the case of the Hardaway Con-
struction company versus one OF Mr..
Dukes power companies, I was paid
fully for all I did for Mr.. Hardaway,
and I stated in open court few
days before I was sworn in as COVER
nor that my connection with that lit
igation or any other ended with my
Inauguration as governor.
"The murder Of Mr.. Monnish was
an assassination.
There can be no possible contro-
versy that the crime was murder in
the first degree, If the perpetrator
had mental responsibility.
"The jury and the court tried this
question. They convicted the prison
er. He has been here in the peniten-
tiary for some time. No man claims
he is now insane. Since his trial he
has been sane.

me to have been the only possible
