Five Ton Projectile May Be Hurled 200 Miles by New Gun

NEW YORK, July 16.-Scientists and inventors today discussed the remarkable qualities of a new gun which Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief engineer for Thomas A. Edison, claims may be developed to hurl a projectile of five tons from 200 to 300 miles. Its velocity, he de- clared, ranges from one, to five miles a second. The noise it made at a demonstration sounded much like the click of a cash register, though only a miniature weapon, with an elght-inch barrel was used. It's pro jeCtile may be stopped in. a. sheet of ste el with the precision of trolley car
 The gun is the invention of John Temple. an Englishman who devel- oped the idea in this country.
 The demonstration, held in the presence of scientists and newspa- permen, was in Dr. Hutchisons of flee on the 51st floor of the Wool worth building The testing grounds consisted of a box of sand on the floor, over which was D aced a sheet of steel three-quarters of an inch thick.
 Pointing the gun downward, Dr. Hutchinson discharged the weapon and the cash register click was heard In the sheet of steel there was lodged projectile three inches long and one-half inch in diameter. The ends stuck out on either side of the steel. There had been pract.c- ally nc recoil.
 The demonstration gun used by Dr. Hutchinson had a velocity Of one mile second. He declared the high power rifles now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small projectiles, long barrels and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon.
 The elimination of a loud report. he said, was obtained by confine- ment of the expanding gases to the chamber from which the projectile emanated. The weapon resemb:ed the nozzle of a pneumatic hama.er.

SOURDOUCH HAS NAME MENTIONED
 FOR MANY JOBS
Karl Thiele of Every Mining Camp in the North Says
 Is Ordinary Fellow.

"Yes, l guess my name has been mentioned for almost every job in Alaska from Secretary to Governor Scott c. Bone, prohibition enforce ment officer, U. S. Marshal, Surveyor General, to the Colonel House of the Alaskan Administration, but taking me altogether, I am just plain sour dough- is the way Karl Thiele ex- pressed himself today to repre- sentative of The Empire
 Governor Bone said a few days ago that MT. Thiele would not be his secretary, but that he was slated to become member of his official family. When asked today about future plans, MT. Thiele said:
 "I would rather not make any an nouncement at this time, but that am going to live in Juneau and that it is my opinion that Alaskan ap- pointments will be made within a very few days and when they are made they will come all in bunch" /"
 MT. Thiele is a regular" Alaskan, first coming to the North 21 years ago and has been in every camp and stampede since that time, including Dawson, Nome, Fairbanks, Iditarod and for the past eight years in the Kuskokwim. He has been a miner, trader and surveyor and is known practically all over the Territory.
 MT. Thiele was in Washington for several months and accompanied Governor Bone to Juneau.

To Investigate Reports
 Indians Eat Human Flesh

FORT McMURRAY, Alta, July 16. Canadian Mounted Police left here to investigate reports that starving Indians in the Caribou tribe have been eating human flesh. The re- port states that human bones were found showing evidences of canni balism.
 A few years ago, officials state, Caribou were so plentiful that the Indians ate only the tongues of the animals. which they held as deli cacy. They slaughtered the animals in thousands. The prophecy was made at that time by officials of the Canadian province that the cari- bou would soon disappear and starva- tion would face the aboriginies.

MONEY ALLOTTED FOR NEW FL0AT;
 COUNCIL MEETS
City Float to Cost 500. Budget Meeting to Be
 Held Tn Short Time.

A sum not to exceed $3500 was authorized by the City Council at it's regular meeting last night for ex- penditure in con-. ,cting the new city float The council also author ized work to begin immediately.
 The construction of the float will be under the direction of R. M. Keeny. It will be built between the Alaska Juneau wharf and the rock dump of the same company. When completed it will afford protected anchorage to small craft, fishing vessels, etc, from southeast winds.
 The council granted a request of the Salvation Army officials for per mission to hold street meetings Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons and evenings at the corner of Front and Franklin Streets. Right was re- served to revoke the permit should the meetings prove to obstruct street traffic
 A petition for the construction of a new sidewalk on East Fourth Street between Gold and Harris was denied by the council, it being de cided that the present walk will serve until next year. Authorization for additional street work was given. including repairs to Second Street, .stairways, sidewalk from the Berg mann to Harris Street, grading liar Iris Street between Fourth and the Bergman, putting two men on gen. eral rehabilitation work on the city streets, which will include cutting weeds and grass on the parkings.
 With the regular meetings of the Board of Equalization, scheduled to close today, various committees were asked to be ready to submit esti mates for next years expenditures so that the budget can be prepared at an early date. It is probable that a special meeting of the council will be called some time next week to fix the tax levy for next year.
