BRITISH PLANE
FIRES HUGE
TORPEDO
a
l500-pound Projecile Is
Armament of Late
Model Bomber.
By HOWARD MORTON


Universal Service stain Correspondent.
LONDON, Dec. 26.-Britain's lat
est engine Of sea warfare is a power
full seaplane that carries a 15O0-pound
torpedo and launches it so that it trav-
els toward its objective virtually as it
would if 1t were shot from torpedo
tube.
Naval experts from a number Of
Allied powers attended its demonstra-
ton recently at Brough, and reported
its operations highly successful.
100 MILES AN HOUR.
The machine is q 450-horsepower
Blackburn-Napier with speed Of 100
miles an hour. The torpedo is mount
ed horizontally below the fuselage and
between two pontoons specially de-
signed to. meet the new requirements.
The pilot swoops down close to the
surface of the sea, releases the torpedo
with trigger and it darts forward,
taking the water almost horizontally,
as it would be discharged from a YES
sci.
1t is planned that the machine shall
make its attack under cover Of a
smoke screen set W by fast scouting
planes. 1t is designed for coastal de-
Tense against batt'eships.
DRAWBACK OVERCOME.
The main drawback hitherto in
using seaplanes for such a purpose has
been their slow maneuvering, due to
the large air surface of the floats.
In this new machine, which is re-
garded as a distinct advance in naval
air warfare, the pontoons or floats
have been so designed that this handi-
cap is minimized, and at the recent
tests the new plane flew and maneuv-
cred with surprising agility for craft
of her size.

It be- came apparent early this morning that his ammunition was running low if 1t was not entirely exhausted and the terrified family was finally induced to make a dash from the front door.
 With the house clear the police opened fire. Smith ran upstairs and climbed out of a rear window upon the roof of a shed. He still carried his revolver and the police guard in the rear yard opened fire
 Smith tumbled from the roof witt three bullets in his body. He wa: rushed to Saint Mary's hospita where it was said his condition l! critical He was wounded in thu hip, back and. leg.

CONNOLLY NAMED
 FIRE DEPT. CAPTAIN
Elected on 26th Ballot at Meet
 ing of Commission

John r. Connolly was elected captain in the fire department on the 96th ballot by the fire commits soncrs who met last night to name a successor to the late Captain Watts who was in charge of Engine Company No. on Kcnsington aV- cnue To til the vacancy caused by the promotion Of Connolly from the lieutcnancy. Hugh Clark was chosen 10 i'll the consequent vacancy in the ranks. Peter Pac was selected, The appointments will take effect on Monday morning.
 The board was mindful of the task which faced it in the question of promotion as several of the mcm- hcrs stated that there are many good men is the department whom they would favor advancing. The names of Connolly and William IIartnett of Engine Company No. ? were the only two mentioned for the captaincy. At the last meeting of the commission there was deadlock between these men with two votes for each and the board adjourned after taking @2 ballots, featured by several wordy exchanges of opinion between several of the members.
 Others nominated for the lieu tenancy were John I'inneran, Ed ward Parker, George Mycroft, Will liam Shaw, Thomas Roper, David | Moore and John Hcnnesey. After | taking ten ballots it was found that Clark had been elected with a vote of three to one for Mycroft. Those nominated for the private's vacancy were Joseph Rouch, Joseph Farr Charles Ronater, Joseph Tynan Peter Pac, Edward Cronin and AL oysius Freysinger. Pac was elected on the sixth ballot.
 Captain Connolly is a man of wide experience in connection with fire fighting work and the knowledge thus gained will be of advantage 10 him in his new position. He wa first appointed to the department a. Substitute callman on May 3 1907. and in 1908 he was appointed a regular callman, holding this posi- ton until he received his appoint ment IS a permanent man in the dc partment in 1914. being a Jumper between companies 2 and ). IL held this position from April unti September of that year when h' was selected as the driver for thu chiefs car. When the city servic' truck was purchased in 1916 Con molly became its driver and occu pied the position until his promo ton to the lieutenanCy on April l5 !1919, with Engine Company No. al his station. When, on October 15 1920, No. fire house was opencC Connolly was transferred to tha station. Since December C, 1924 when the late Captain Watts foun' it necessary to relinquish his dutie there as captain, Connolly has hcol acting captain, so that his promo ton will not entail the fulfilling 0 any additional duties.
 Lieutenant Clark, now stationed a Engine Company No. 4, was ap pointed to the department on Ma, 3, 1911. He will probably be as signed to company No. 6 to assume Captain Connollys former duties al though his assigning will be at uI' diScrction of Chief Noble.
 Peter Pac, the newly apponte' private is 24 years of age and live af 295 High street. He spent thro' years in the army and now is om played as an inspector at the Stan Icy Works.
