Hammond Has Device For Controlling Torpedoes from Wasps.

Washington, Sept. 21.—John Hays Hammond, Jr., inventor of the wireless controlled topedo, fired from the shore and recommended by army officials for purchase by the government, discussed with Secretary Daniels today a plan for a similar device for torpedoes fired from submarines. Many torpedoes fired by submarines or destroyers never reach their mark. Hammond told Secretary Daniels he believed he had found a means by which the deadly missiles would be guided to their mark unfailingly.
