NAVAL DEPARTMENT
 MAY HOLD SALE IF
 O[D BATTLE CRAFT
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, May 1f.-A bar
 gain sale of obsolete naval vessels
 including battleships and destroyers
 may be held by the navy department
 soon, it was indicated today. A study
 is being made of ways of getting rid
 of many useless war craft it was
 said, and 1t was indicated that the
 example of Great Britain might be
 followed in selling useless ships to be
 drawn up for junk.
 There are 21 battleships and as
 many destroyers carried on the sec
 ond line'' list, and officers say that
 more than half of the former should
 be disposed of. All except two battle ships are of the mixed battery type,
 most of them carrying four 12-inch guns and eight S-inch guns, while the Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin mount obsolete 13-inch main battery rifles.
 Included in the second line" list is the famous old battleship Oregon. but it is doubtful if the department will order it scrapped because of sentf- mental considerations. The latest ands most useful battleships on the A'second line" list are the Michigan and the South Carolina both launched in 1908. but in the opinion of naval men long since practically valueless except for training
 In addition the. navy department has taken steps to dispose of four other vessels. The Indiana was sunk | by placed bombs and big gun fire. the Massachusetts became a target 1 for the guns of the coast defense bat I teries in Florida, the Idaho is being
 used for radio control experiments and is destined to take prominent part in the coming bombing tests, and the Kearsarge has been tentatively allocated to the navy for use in aerial | bombing experiments this summer. The most modern of all the 21 sec ond nne- destroyers was launched in 1912. while most of the others were | turned out in 1909 and 1910. Nearly 30 submarines are carried on the

 ACID THROWER' SAYS MRS. HOPKINS INSANE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel


 PRESCOTT, Ariz., May 1.-Two physicians, the husband and broth CT of Mrs. Anna Irene Hopkins, on trial here on a charge of having thrown acid into the face of Miss Lucille Gallagher, a Jerome school teacher. today testified that they be- Heved Mrs. Hopkins insane. The as- sault is alleged to have occurred in Jerome, March 31.
 The testimony and cross examina- tion of Clarence V. Hopkins, the hus band, occupied the entire morning and this afternoon Dr. J. B. McNalIy Of Prescott. pr. W. H. Olds of Los Angeles, and James Daugherty of Sand Point, Idaho brother of the defendant testified
 Mir Hopkins told of the recent home life and business activities of Mrs. Hopkins. He said that since the birth of their first child, Mrs Hop kins had insisted that he keep their property. which was of considerable value. in her name and that she had managed the property independently of him. Hetsaid she maintained sep arate accounts from his, against his wishes.
 More recently, he declared. she had begun to suffer from the belief that the United Verde Copper company and others had conspired to deprive him of his position as chief engineer of the company and that Miss Gall 1agher was to be the tool used to dis credit him.
 Mir. Hopkins testified that Mrs. Hopkins had tried to obtain the assistance of others to have him placed in an asylum. As a result of this, he said. arrangements had been begun for a separation when Mrs. Hopkins was arrested on the>assault charge. He said she frequently had accused him of losing his mind. The doctors went exnaustively into the symptoms they said the defen- dant exhibited of insanity. The brother also testified that he believed Mrs. Hopkins insane
 During cross examination of the witnesses today it was brought out that Mrs. Hopkins actually was in charge of considerable mining and other business concerns in the Verde district and that her claims to im- portance in the Jerome business world were not all delusions.

SALT LAKE CITY, ay 17ZState President Naphi L. Morris of the Mormon church here today con- firTed report that a recent ex communication~ of Israel Barlow, a patriarch of the Mormon church. was the disciplinary action of the church authorities to punish Barlow for the performance of an alleged plural marriage. The specific act for which the harshest of church discipline was imposed was the perftrming of the alleged marriage of John Burt with a Salt Lake girl, when Burt had al- ready at least one wife. one of the church officials said today. The name of the girl was withheld by church officials.
 Barlow, a white haired pioneer, who has passed three score and ten, had served the church for some years as patriarch, one or the highest ecclesiastical offices. In his earlier life he served the church as a mis- sionary in foreign fields Burt, the church authorities say, has since dis appeared, and Barlow, despite his past faithfulness to the church. was cast out by church officials, only dc the present church leaders forbid plural marriages under any guise the bishops and stake presidents have authority to perform any mar riage ceremony.

NOW A LIGHT TO AID ANGLERS

k
 Fisherman born is fisherman to the last minnow. He hates to waste a night, though it be in the dark of the moon when it Is too black to bait hook. So now comes a fish erman's friend with night light for the angler. It he puts small battery in his pocket. along with the cheese sandwich and bottle of far from beer, the angler can try for a speckled crappie or cast for a brown backed pickerel all night long. The instant a fish begins to unreel his line. light bulb fastened on his rod, flashes.
 The contrivance is ingenious. Fast ened in the middle of the rod. it per mits the line to be run out or wound up without being interferred with, but a jerk of the line from the hook causes special trigger switch on a flashlight holder to close the circuit and light the lamp.
 Would a regular fisherman con- sent to toting battery in his pocket in order to catch a blue gill?"
 "Of course he would" says Steve Meunier of Milwaukee. who is great fisherman himself Any fisherman wants to catch what he can. and if he hasn't used one of these new -fangled things it is only because he has never seen one. l have been using 1umin- ous bait and small bells for still fishing for several years, so why not an electric light ht?'-Milwaukee Jour nal
