YOUNG MAN ENDS LIFE
Oscar a. Nelson Shot Self In Tenn
ple;I Leaves Letter

Oscar A. A.NeIson Shot Self In Tenn
Pile; Leaves Letter
Fairmont, June 16.-The body OF
Oscar A. Nelson, a young tiler,
whose parents live at Ormsby was
found in shack near Swea City
Friday. He committed suicide af-
ter he had written letters to his
parent brothers and sisters.
A letter addressed to a woman
indicated that the cause of his de-
cision to end his life was disap-
pointment in love. Only the letter
to the family was made public. It
said: ".
Dear Father and Mother, Broth.
ers and Sisters: / have made up my
mind to leave you all. My insur-
ance is paid up to September /. 1
don't owe anyone and / have a lit
tie coming, but Albert Erickson will
attend to that. He is honest, ana
You can believe every word he says.
Dear folks this doesn't brew in the
family but it is too much love. Here
is hopdng that have done nothing
wrong An Of my funeral expenses
have been paid out of my 1nsur-
ancs. Leave everything to Ole
Seylar. Come and see me folks, |
love you ah.-Goodbye."
Nelson host himself in the tenn
pie with a revolver. He made his
home with Albert Erickson OF Swea
City with whom he was in partner
ship,
Nelson's parents left ito attend
the funeral. They come to Ormsby

/ shown on the anchorage area for al
least eight battleships in the berth;
shown on the anchorage charts.
Il believe that the above disposi-
ton OF these chats will furnish q
large amount of employment fol
Navy Yard workmen on work thai
the scrap viii pay for, and it is fur
ther my opinion that using them as
breakwater will save approxima-
tely two million dollars in building
the stone breakwater and will fur
nish equal protection to the vessels
in the outer harbor of Los Ange-
les."
The admiral further states thai
this. plan meets the immediate
needs for an anchorage there and
that it will last until the hulls com :.
petely rust out, which he believes
will not take place for rs years al
least and probably for so years.
From the layMan's view point the
suggestion of gentleman from
Maine while lacking somewhat - in
practicability, has potent appeal
TO the imagination. His is the
scheme to block the Straits Of Lab
orador and thus divert the masses
OF ice from our shores so that in
the future the "Coid New England
der" will be nothing but a memory
Kill The Cold Winter
Here is his proposal part as he
submitted 1t to the Navy Depart
nent for consideration.
Engineers have reported for
several years that the Straits OF
Labrador, otherwise known as
Belle Isle" located between the
northwest point of Newfoundland
and Labrador, have by process OF
nature been gradually filing I'D for
number Of years? Now this narrow
passage of the sea Is the gateway
thru which the ice foes from the
Arctic regions finds their way
along the coast of Canada to the
Gulf Of st. Lawrence and adjacent
waters and thru its cooling effects
of winter in southeastern Canada,
the New England and Middle At
lantic states and in fact largely in.
duence climatic conditions through
out the entire eastern part Of our
country.
Now il this passage were en-
tirely obstructed, ice would be d.
yerted along the northern coast of
Newfoupdland to the east and
would be borne away from our
shores. In these regions then the
winter weather would be much less
severe and the winter season would
be much shorter, destructive frosts
and unhealthful fogs would be
practically eliminated and climatic
conditions much more desirable.
1t was suggested by an English
engineer before the great war be-
gan that the obstruction of this
Labrador Strait would be of vast
economic value and it was stated
that the cost Of the work would be
comparatively very small since the
action of the ice itself and water
had naturally formed a bar OF rock
to defect in large measure the ice
from its former course.

Use Doomed Ships To Keep
Ice Floes From East Coast
This Is Only One of the Queer Schemes Re
sulting From the Washington Disarma-
ment Conference
[unlted Press pispatch. ]

Washington, June 15.-Damming
the Straits Of Labrador so as to
block the flow of ice from the Arc
tic regions is one of the most uni
que or uses suggested for the bat
tleships doomed by the Washington
Arms conference.
Scores of ideas have been sub
mitted to the department since the
scrapping plans have been under
consideration. In the food OF COM
munications facetious proposals to
convert the stripped huns into ocean
barrooms or huge rum smuggling
barges are in the some mail with
really ingenious schemes that merit
serious consideration.
From a southern seaside resort
comes the request for two ships to
be sunk alongside the channel to
armament and attraction to tourists.
From one naval officer comes this
plan that has caused a bit of
scratching of heads among the tech
nical experts. He proposes to take
the hull Of one of the bigger ships
out and sink it on Diamond Shoals
and leave it there with its upper
deck well above water until it is
firmly settled and sand encrusted
about the bottom Then he would
cut out the bottom leaving a perfect
caisson within which permanent
foundations could be set and a light
ship erected on them.
This is on a par with the sug-
gestion of Rear Admiral Mexican,
who would use dozen of the old
ships to extend the San Pedro
break water and provide a quiet
and secure anchorage for the Paci
nc net in Los Angeles harbor.
This is the recommendation made
by the admiral: That all battleships
20 be scrapped now at Mare Island
Navy Yard and such others as can
be brought to Mare Island at a
reasonable expense be scrapped by
the Navy Yard. ALI materials such
scopper, composition, steel. etc,
that Is worth it be removed and
stored for sale or use. That after
being stripped the vessels be towed
to Las Angeles harbor and be mo-
ored bow and stern and secured to
the other vessels ahead and astern
OF them in continuation Of the
Dreakwater, with an entrance space
of about 500 to 800 yards left be-
tween the present breakwater and
the first Of the hulks. That they be
sunk so as to form a continuous
line and at least partially filled
with dredged material from the
harbor supply of which is con
stantly at hand.
Make a BreaiSwater
This the admiral say will supply
much needed and believe il to
be secure lee for the battleships of
the neet. For example l. think that
twelve OF the battleships averaging
about $50 feet in length can be SO
moored and sunk in such position
as to furnish an affective break
water of sufficient length to furnish
protected anchorage area for at
least eight battleships In the berths
