New Course Tracer Is
Invented by Frsnchman

PARIS, Dec. 17.-Disasters like
that which befell the American de-
stroyer squadron on the Pacific
Coast recently will be made i'm
possible, it is claimed, by a new
course tracer, called the Nauto-
graph, invented by Lieutenant AL
fred Baule of the French Navy. The
instrument is said to indicate in
stantly without need for any cal
culation, the position of the ship
on the ship on the chart, the pos
sible error not exceeding one fif-
eenth-hundredth of a degree. 1t
is an adaptation of the more elab-
crate machine perfected in 1915 and
used successfully by the French
Navy during the war.
Lieutenant Baule has also in
vented an improved electric log
which records the ships speed on
a dial to within few hundredth
of a knot, much as speedometer
does on an automobile. This has
been adopted by the French Navy
Department.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Civilians will
form large part of the personnel
of the British Royal Air Force, which
is being increased to more than
twice the present strength. Two
thirds of the men in the reserve
squadrons are to be civilians. and the
auxiliary squadrons are to be organ
ized on a basis similar to that OF
the Territorial Army, comparable
to State militia in America. 1t is
planned to have civilian labor care
for all the repair work, other than
minor running repairs, in most OF
the regular squadrons, all the spec
ial reserve squadrons and all the
auxiliary squadrons.
By thus calling on the civilian
labor reserves, Great Britain would
more than double her air power
with an addition of only one-third
of the present personnel, according
to Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary Of
State for Air. The introduction Of

LOTT IS FOUND
NOT GUILTY BY
JURY'S VERDICT
Only Two Ballots Are Re-
quired to Acquit Negro
Of Charge Of Murder.

William Lott, negro barber, was
acquitted Saturday of the charge of
murder for the killing of William
F. Prentice on July last, the jury
returning it's verdict at s p. M after
about three hours deliberation. Lott
was Immediately released from Gus
tody.
H. L. Faulkner, attorney for the
negro, while acknowledging he was
pleased with the verdict, expressed
no surprise at the acquittal of his
client. The evidence, he said, showed
clearly that Lott had fired to defend
himself and that the testimony given
by Lott in his own behalf convinced
the jury.
Take Two Ballots
It was reliably. although unoffic-
tally reported that but two ballots
were taken by the jury. The first.
It was said, showed II for acquittal
and one juror voting for conviction.
The second ballot was not taken
until after the jury had returned
to its room from dinner. The case
was given to the jury at 4:45 p.
m. and the verdict was returned
at p. m.
Closing arguments in the case
we're made Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Faulkner's speech for his client was
q fine effort He reviewed the
essential parts Of the evidence care
fully and pleaded with the jury to
allow no racial feelings to enter
their deliberations. He referred
sympathetically to the Negro race
and it's handicaps Many women in
the crowded courtroom were moved
to tears by his appeal.
Mr.. Shoup, who colsed for the
Government, reviewed the case brief

conviction for first degree murder,

a matter for the jury to decide
