ARE CONVERTING A SMALL STREAM MTO DEEP RIVER Dredge Being Used on the West River Slowly, s But Stubbornly Plowing Its Way Through County. IMPROVED DRAINAGE WILL BE THE RESULT New Channel for the River Is From Ten to Twelve Feet Deep and Average Width Sixteen Feet Stubbornly rooting its "nose" into the base of the stream and throwing out on either bank huge dykes, a giant dredge is fast ploughing Its way through the course of West River in the northwest part of Wayne county, leaving behind a channel that is from 10 to 12 feet in depth and averaging in. width 16 feet Just at this -time the big dredge and ita accompanying house boats, two in number, are at the very edge of the Perry township line, and tomorrow will havo crossod over into Dalton township. As the channel is deepened and widened, the accumulationof the waiters from the fountain head arc dammed up and the bi boats float along with ; as much ease as if thy were in the midst of a great river or lake. A dozen or more men constitute the crew of the dredging outfit and they are worked in two shifts, so that neither day or, night' is there an abatonient of work. An electric light plant in the fore part of tho dredge boat feeds . clusters of incandescent lamps at either side of the huge crane, and no matter how dark the night the narrow stream aheadis" brilliantly lighted and the dredging goes on. Even Sundays are not days of rest foe, the crew, and yesterday there were many visitors on hand watching the progress of the big cut. Five months .will be ne essary to complete tho work which is the biggest undertaking of the kin-i Wayne county has ever witnessed. Bridge Is in the Way. The C, C &' L. railroad company's bridge' in Dalton township cros03 West, River at a point which will be reached by the dredging outfit in two or three weeks. A part of thi& bridge will have to come out while the channel is being deepened as the height of the dredge boat Is too great to permit of its passing beneath. The railroad company's construction men will take out two sections of the structure and for a day at least train service may be delayed. One county bridge also win be encountered later on and this structure will be removed and put back in place by the contractor. The Blowgun. The blowgun Is still popular for hunting birds among the Eoasatl Indiums of Louisiana. This weapon consists of a tube, usually of cane, about six feet long, rubbed smooth on the Inside with an Implement made for the purpose and carefully straightened with the aid of fire. Slender pointed darts about eight Inches long are used as ammunition, each one wrapped neatly along a third of its length with thistledown or cotton to make it fit the Inside of the tube. The hunter places a dart in the tube, which he raises to his lips and alms at his game; then a quick puff of the breath drives the little dart flying with . sufficient force to impale and kill a small bird or squirrel.

A GREAT ARMADA OF AERIAL CRAFT IS PLANNED FOR U. S.

Washington, D. C, April 19. A well fitted fleet of aerial vessels for this country in the near future, as a means of protection against more advanced European nations, is the prospect which is urging on those interested in the trials to be held at Fort Meyer beginning next .week. With Congress in session the proximity of the trial grounds to Washington is looked upon as a lever to force an appropriation for the continuance of experimental work. Members of Congress are to be given a practical demonstration of the Droeress that has been made in aerial flight and of its possibilities in war fare. The signal corps in making an early start in its trials at Fort Meyer had in view the opportunity which these tests will offer to impress the national law makers with the necessity for appropriating sufficient money with which the aeronautical division may make a beginning toward the establishment of an aerial navy. France, Germany, Russia, Italy and other countries of Europe have kept abreast of the times by obtaining the latest equipment for aerial flight, while the MISS SHOEMAKER BADLY INJURED When Horse Is Driven in Ditch To Avoid Auto, She Jumps Out. CARRIED TO FARM HOUSE IT WAS THOUGHT AT FIRST HER CONDITION WAS SERIOUS, BUT SHE WAS GREATLY IMPROVED TODAY. v Miss Katie Shoemaker was painfully injured by a jump from a rig while driving incompany with Howard Geier on the Henley road yesterday afternoon. The horse driven by Mr. Geier card whenft was driveninto a ditch iff order to enable an automobile containing 'Albert Morel and a party of friends to pass. The animal lunged and turned sharply, causing the' fifth wheel to break. . Miss Shoemaker thought the buggy was going to overturn, and jumped, alighting on a front wheel, so as to injure her severely. She was taken to the home of John Austerman, who resides near the sceue of the accident and a physician summoned. Her condition was improved somewhat todoy and she will be able to be removed to her home within a few "days. Mr. Geier was not injured, although undergoing a severe shock from the affair. Out and In Politics. Newspaper men in large city of the middle west have had a difficult time trying to elicit political Information from a certain politician in that town who in answer to all questions invariably offers the stereotyped response, I am out of politics." - Inasmuch as the man is an important figure in the local political turmoil, this response is not taken seriously by the interviewers, to whom, indeed, its repeated utterance has become a trifle monotonous. Sot long ago a veteran reporter succeeded in gaining the presence of the politician, to whom he put the query, "What's going on in politics T "Oh, rm out of politics," he said. "That's understood, of course," quickly responded the scribe. "Would you mind letting us know what progress you're making toward breaking in again r Exchancn, . '

United States has but one small dirigible and only two free balloons of any practical value. As soon as a hydrogen gas generating plant is set up at Fort Meyer, probably this week, the officers of the signal corps, will begin to train the men in the balloon squad by making numerous flights in the signal corps No. 11. This is a new spherical balloon, having a capacity of 35,000 cubic feet of gas and carrying three people. It has made several successful trips since it was purchased last summer. As soon as the tent for housing the dirigible has been erected, Lieutenants Frank P. Lahm and Benjamin D. Fouliers will resume the flights which were terminated in October last. One of the tripai proposed Is to cross the Potomac from Fort Meyer and fly over the capitol building. The dirigible, the only one in the possession of the government, was purchased last summer from Captain Thomas S. Baldwin, after he had complied with the specifications. At that time the requirements were considered ex.tremely difficult of accomplishment with a semi-rigid balloon. DEATH TO SULTAN TURKISH TROOPS ARE IIOW CRYING (Continued From Page One.) Constantinople, but to await there the fulfillment of its demands. Two reporters who accompanied the deputation were imprisoned on their arrival at Tchatalje, but subsequently they were released and permitted to return to Constantinople. The officers of the Salonica army control the train service to Europe, and the service as a consequence is much delayed. . Delay also has been caused by the arrival of . military trains bringing reinforcements to the concentration camp. Looking Forward.

Hubby Gets the Divorce. New 4 York, April 19. Mrs. Burke Roche Batony, daughter of millionaire CUTTER SERVICE coin w t FOAMED OFFICER Retired Revenue Engineer Today Filed Serious Charges With Secretary of Treasury MacVeagh. NEGLECT OF DUTY IS ONE OF ALLEGATIONS Lieutenant Burns States That No Help Was Rendered Passengers on the Wrecked Ship Valencia. . Washington, April 19. Trouble is brewing for the revenue cutter ser vice. Lieutenant James A. Burns, formerly an engineer officer in the service, who resigned some time ago in disgust, as he says, with the meth ods of the service, is preparing char ges which were filed today with Sec retary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Burns makes serious charges against the cutter service. He asserts that when the steamer Valencia was wrecked off the coast of Vancouver in 1906. revenue vessels refused or neglected to go to the rescue, although notified in time, perhaps, to have sav ed the passengers of the doomed ship. In the Valencia wreck,. 113 lives were lost. ' .'. . Influenced Legislation. Burns also charges that in 1902 the officers of the cutters service raised a fund of $50,000, by contributions of $250 apiece, and that, the money was used to influence the passing of a bill before congress, which passed that year, giving increased pay to the of ficers and putting . the service practically on a par with the army and navy. He charges that the comman der of a revenue cutter at , the San Francisco earthquake refused to co operate jn the rescue work with naval vessels because of a snub, a naval officer gave to the cutter captain. . Cutters are Useless. Burns also charges that revenue cutters are used to protect the shipping industry of the American Commercial company, a private corporation and that the returns received for this protection is wholly inadequate to recompense the government for the expense of keeping the cutters on that duty. He further says-that a cutter as now conducted exists . without any valid reason and that it performs such in significant and trifling duties in com panson to its cost that there is no reason for its existence; that the ships pass a great part of their time idly lying at anchor and that their service in life saving is practically nothing. Talk and Money. Talking about promises," said a pro moter, "some of these moneyed men, with their mouths full of millions and their quite empy hands,-reminded me of a barber. This barber said one day as be shared me: "That's a fine pop of Simmons. I'd give anything for It' " "Well, It's for sale. Isn't ttr said L "The barber burst Info sneering laughter. " Oh, yes. It's for sale.' said he. 'But do yon know what Simmons wants for it? Why. far"

ALDHICH EXPLAINS. - Washington. April 19. Senator Aldrich began a discussion of the tariff bill in the senate today. He said he firmly believed the bill would product sufficient revenues. He advocated reducing the appropriations rather than increasing taxes against the consumers. ' ' BALLING FI 11 ED III CITY COURT He Pays for the Broken Bar Mirror. After proving to the court that he had made satisfactory arrangements to reimburse Clarence Jessup, proprietor of the Waldorf saloon for the damage done by breaking a large mirror. Joseph Balling was fined 3 and costs for assault in city court this afternoon. Balling went into the saloon and when the bartender refused him credit threw two small glasses at him, missing him but shattering the mirror. The court reprimanded Balling alid tho latter promised to quit drinking. He said he never had been in any trouble except when full of whiskey. The Peaeeek Threne. Of all the Persian crown Jewels the peacock throne Is the most magnificent, it is entirely of silver, a great camp bed structure, but modeled In lovely designs. It Is lncrusted from end to end and from top to bottom with diamonds. At the back Is a star of brilliants that makes you blink. The rug on which the shah sits Is edged with precious stones, and the pillow on which be reclines Is covered with pearls. The peacock throne and Its trimmings and trappings if sold In open market would bring over $15,000,000. Noisy Madrid. Some one has, well divided the inhabitants of Madrid into two classes those who go tP bed after 31. a and th3e who get up before 4. It is true that the streets are never quiet The stonecutters, who were mending the sidewalk, began chipping at daybreak. Next we heard the electric cars, with their loud gongs, and the . mule' carts clattering over the noisy cobblestones. By breakfast time the sound of the hurdy gurdy echoed in our ears. Street fakers shouted their wares, and singing beggars, with their weird yodel, roamed up and down all day. - Just before dinner the women who cry lottery tickets and evening papers took their stand at the corner, and their stentorian voices never stopped until after midnight Madrid carries n latchkey. The concierge holds It by day, the street watchman by night Consequently the hours of sleep were constantly broken by the sound of handclapping. followed by the quick, heavy step of the watchman in response to this mediaeval summons. Altogether I unhesitatingly pronounce against Madrid as a rest cure. It la by far the noisiest place I was ever In. Outing Magazine. " ' '
