GEN. COxEY MAKES PLEA
FOR u. S. RAIL OWNERSHIP
Presents Petition at White House
and Asks for Audience With.
president in Near Future.

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey left with Sec
raarv Christian at the White House
petition to De presented to the Presi-
oent- calling for the placing Of the rail-
roads of the country under government
ownership.
Arguments were made that the
railroad management is responsible
for the stala OF NEST of the roads It
this time. and that the condition is
rot due to the wages being paid en-
ployes.
Mr.. Coxey asked Mr.. Christian to
arrange a date in the near future
for him to have an audience with the
President to advocate this and other
ideas he has regarding much needed
legislation
The general stated in his pet.on:
why attack labor by claiming that
for the roads to continue paying the
present rate means bankruptcy, when
the roads are still paying the steel
trust s4S a ton for rails when the
a-~s-wSr rate was only $24? Why not
purchase the roads and issue legal
tender money to pay for them, save
a hundred million a month in interest
and dividends, and continue thereby
- pay a living wage to the men and
20 operate the roads at cost to all
the people?'

58.FOOT SEA HORNET
SOON TO UNDERGO TEST
Trim Little Motor Boat Is Classed
as Powerful Agent for
Coast Defense.

A trim little 5S-foot motor boat runs
in and docks at the Sth street wharf
Onlookers believe pleasure craft is
arriving.
And except for a fange at the stem a
hinged attachment in the bow and
the allsteel construction. the craft
would appear an innocent water vehicle
for pleasure seekers.
In reality. it is ready for tests by
the Navy Department and the War De-
partment to ascertain its possibilities
as coast defense craft. The tests will
be conducted by officers in the near
future.
II is claimed by w. B. Shearer, in
ventor ond designer, that one of these
boats can easily run under the stern or
beam of a battleship. let loose a 21-inch
Whitehead torpedo and scoot away to
safety while the torpedo kicks into frag-
ments the interior department of the
ship attacked.
Her name is Sea Hornet Her
qualifications are cited as follows:
Three torpedoes can be stored be-
meath the lower f1atdeck. Two men can
man her. Two 300-horsepower engines
operate the twin screws, developing a
full power speed of thirty-three miles
per hour.
She is entirely constructed of steel
divided by water-tight bulkheads, is
on-capsiZable and non-sinkable, ac-
cording to the inventor. She can
bunk four men, has room in her con-
troll cabin for six and can carry fif-
teen men in the after cockpit In the
bow is the firing chamber, which may
be flooded as soon as the boat has
been run at high speed within the
range of visibility, and is closed by a
breach block after the torpedo is
seated. Her power plant includes two
pumps with a 900 gallon per minute
capacity, which can empty the food
ed firing chamber in thirty-two sec
onds.
The bow at the waterline forms a
hinged gate, which is opened and
shut by a rod from the coming tow
er. The torpedo is expelled by its
own propellers.
The boat is declared to be unique.

ITALIANS TO ASSIST
! j. S. IN D|R|G|BLES
Engineer Who Made Design
for Roma Is Loaned by
Home Government.

ROME. April 24.-The United States
has asked the Italian government to
lend to America the services of an
engineer skilled in the construction
of semi-rigid dirigible airships and
several other men to aid in the build
ing in the United States of craft like
the Roma. the big dirigible purcha sed
from Italy. The Italian government
faS granted the request, and the ltal-
ian engineer Celestine Usuelli. de-
signer of the Roma will supply plans
and instructions for the proposed
American craft.
Builders Aid Suggested.
1t is understood that the Americans
glad to have the services of Signor
Nobili. the builder of the Roma and
also her Italian crew to aid in air
ship building. 1t is stated that the
American airships of the same kind
as the Roma are to be five meters
by America so that they can be
sheltered in the American hangers.
Signor Usuelli is planning larger
dirigibles for Italy.
"I intend to start Immediately the
construction of another dirigible
measuring $4,000 cubic meters. the
largest that can enter the present
Italian hangars." he said. This new
ship will replace the Roma. but will
be able to fly without alighting al
most twice as long.
My next great construction Will
he a Super-giant. semi-rigid dirigible.
for the construction of which l must
await the arrival from Germany of
three colossal hangers assigned to
Italy. l shall then build an airship
22O meters in length, "a in height and
10000 cubic meters in volume 1t
will be equipped with twenty-four
motors of $50 horsepower each, Of
which only one-third will be in use
at time. The other two-thirds will
be kept in reserve, so that each
motor will work only six or seven
hours, and will have from ten to
twelve hours for rest and cleaning.
Tour of World, AliEhtins Once.
This dirigible will be able to fly
for ten days consecutively. and there
fore could make a tour of the world
alighting only once. 1t will carry
100 passengers, besides a crew Of
twenty-five and ten servants, and will
cost 10000, 900 lire.
My chief desire is said Engineer
Usuelli. ito demonstrate that dirigi-
BILE can fly in any weather and stand
any storm, alighting without need of
4 hangar.
II also wish to demonstrate that the
dirigible is a good business PROPOSE

M0RMONS BARRED
/. BY SWEDISH ORDER
Ten Missionaries Must Halt
Work and Quit Country
Within Ten Days.
by HAL O'FLAHERTY.

Copyright. 1921.
STOCKHOLM. Sweden, April "a
Following the decision of the crown
council to exclude Mormon mission
aries, notice has been given to all
Mormons who enter Sweden upon
American passports that their per-
mission is withdrawn and that they
must leave within ten days.
This action. which has long been
hanging fire. affects ten American
missionaries. who feel that theilr
forthcoming eviction is unjust, but
who realize that the unanimous de-
cision of the crown council cannot
be withdrawn.
J. Z. Thunell and Oscar Soderberg,
American Mormons. told the writer
today that they still had some hope of
securing permission to remain. but
information direct from the govern
ment indicates that the decision
against them is unchanged.
The American legation here has ex
erted every effort to help them. but
without avail.
The writer has found much bitter
feeling in Sweden and Norway
i
the belief still prevalent that the
Mormons still practice polygamy and
that they use the missionaries as
Instruments to recruit girls from the
country districts for emigration to
|, Utah.
According to Mr.. Thunell, the Nor
mon Church has ,more than 1000
members i'm Sweden.
During the reign of the late King
Oscar" said Mr.. Thunell, the Nor
mon Church had the royal permission
to hold services and conduct mis-
sionary services in this country. and
despite the new prohibition upon
American workers. our religion will
continue to grow here. We continu-
ally seek to teach the public that
the Mormons do not practice poly
gamy, but it seems that the spirit
Of religious, intolerance is growing.
Norway, like Sweden, has shut out
American Mormon missionaries.
