' • Oriaieieal. C. Z.--Eighteen Gfcys aftter they murdered a Barbadian named 'William Blackett, Daniel McCloud and [Eduardo Lopez, Panamans, and James "Williams, a Nassau Islander, were placed on trial here and within six {hours the three were convicted and [sentenced to death. > The prosecutor described the murfder as "the most dastardly crime ever committed in the Canal Zone." Blackjett, an old man, was a night watchman at a remote dynamite magazine in a pit about a mile from the Atlantic entrance to the canal. McCloud, Lopez and Williams, two of whom had been released from jail not long before, plotted to steal dynamite and caps, with the necessary*" fuses, and sail down the coast and sell their spoils to fishermen. They stole a flatbottomed boat, sailed up a narrow diversion channel to within a short distance of the dynamite storehouse, j silently stole up to the house, which | was guarded by the watchman, and ;asked for some dynamite. On the I watchman's refusal to give it they [hit him on the head with a black- Ismith's hammer, then tied a rope |around his neck and stabbed him in the throat. They stole 12 boxes of 'dynamite, placed them in their boat, i sailed down the diversion channel, hid their spoils to be carried away at 'leisure and went their several ways. This was at one o'clock in the morning, and Blackett's body was sot discovered until three o'clock, when a watchman came to relieve h»m_ Quickly Apprehended. By ten o'clock that night two of the murderers were In custody; the third was apprehended next day. Most people on the Zone thought there was no such thing as capital punishment on the statute books, but they were mistaken, and three men have been hanged since the American occupation of the Canal Zone--In 1008 and 1909--for murder In the first degree. The feeling among the residents on the Isthmus ran high against the ae> v.. anal, fnwhii. people. The ' as a rule, an they will do .orach quarrels thegr'toHom That their "irnnttjjfTrnu other was beyond theft comprehension. McCloud, Lopes and Williams were ! arraigned before the magistrates' court and held for murder and grand larceny for the district court On the day of the trial excitement was at its highest. It was feared that an attempt would be made to take the prisoners from the police, and every effort wai made to Insure their safety. The courtroom is on the third floor of the Masonic temple. In the very center of the city, and on the border line of the Canal Zone and the Republic of Panama. The building is equipped with fire escapes, and these were packed with negroes anxious to get a look at the men who had disgraced their race. They would have been glad to pass and execute judgment on the accused. Ably Defended. Judge Hanan designated three of the most able lawyers practicing In the Canal Zone courts to defend the murderers. Judge O. P. Fainnan. an American lawyer of high standing, was named to defend McCloud, while W. C. Todd and L. 3. Carrlngton, both of Colon, were appointed to defend Williams and Lopes. The three on trial for their lives paid little attention to the proceed* Ings except when on the witness stand. Then each admitted taking part in the murder, but each denied being the man who did the actual killing, each blaming the other. The government's case was so closely woven about them that thus was no chance for escape. Dry Cleaners "Cleaned." Oolumbus, O.--There are two salts of convict clothing at a local dry cleaning establishment which await a couple of convicts.

ENGLAND GREAT SHIPBUILDER Total Tonnage Undsr Amount 1,672^)001 Construction London.--Total tonnage now building In the United Kingdom exceeds the amount under construction In the United States by 1,672,000 tons, according to returns published by Lloyd's register of shipping. The aggregate amount now under construction In Great Britain Is 8,078,- 000 tons--the highest amount ever recorded. Much comment has been aroused In shipping circles by these figures, says the London Times. But, it adds, the failure of the United States to maintain its lead In shipbuilding was expected, since the intensive construction there was chiefly s war measure. IS ALWAYS FIGHTING M. S. Devil Dogs Have Real War Without an End. Mala Fighting Just Now Is In Haiti --Also Ready In China--* ,v Wonderful Life. WiUhlngton---For Uncle Sam's "marines the fighting is never at an end. While the great war and their part In it is history, they still are busy In the far corners of the world settling small disturbances, guarding government property and awaiting any eventuality. m Haiti and Sin Domingo nearly 4,000 "Devil Dogs," as the Germans oatnn to call them after Belleau wood, are maintaining order and bringing recalcitrant bands to justice. It is not a "play" Job by any means and at times lately It has assumed the proportions of real war. Casualty lists are not lacking and almost every week there come to headquarters here the names of "leathernecks" killed or wounded In clashes with bandits and revolutlonsrles. "In China the legation guard of 275 marines at Peking Is ever prepared for any emergency and for a time recently It appeared that they would be forced Into action against Chinese revolutionists who were threatening to attack the Chinese capital. In Nicaragua another legation guard is maintained, while the marines are aboard American warships in Mexican wsters prepared on short notice to protect American lives and property should their services be required. In Haiti, the corps is represented by 1,700 officers and men In two small regiments comprising the First provisional brigade. The brigade is commanded by Col. J. H. Russell and the two regiments by Cols. L. M. Little and B. a Berkeley. Of late conditions hi Haiti have quieted down to some extent and although skirmishes with bandits are still a common occurrence it Is said at headquarters that the marines "have the situation well In hand." In San Domingo an even greater force of soldier-sailors are on duty. Here 2,200 marines, organized into three regiments, form the Second provisional brigade, commanded by Brig. Gen. Logan Feland. In the northern part of the Island the Fourth regiment, under Col. Dion Williams, is taking things easy, but in the south the Fifteenth regiment is in the field In small detachments, chasing bandits and outlaws and quite often, getting a o f g u n p o w d e r . r V " V " 1 ^ Japs to Adopt Income Tax.

Warsaw.--A strong movement designed to create a large Mohammedan state in Trans-Caucasia, extending from the Caspian sea to Erzerum, has been started, according to word received here. It is designed to make the new state a satellte of Turkey. A purely national idea Is said to be behind this movement, and has nothing In common with bolshevism, according to reports, excepting dislike for the allies. It Is said Lenlne, the Russian premier and Mustapha Kemal Pasha, Turkish nationalist leader, both have the same aim to attack Great Britain. But while Kemal cannot admit Moscow's supremacy over Armenia and the Mohammedan Caucasus, Lenlne does not wish to see creation of a large Turkish state In the Caucasus. Consequently, though allies, the two leaden are really rivals. Preachers Starve to Death English Clergy Unionises to Combat /Lew Wages When Twenty- Five Die. London, England.--At least SO Protestant ministers are reported to have died of starvation in England last year, and the parsons have now formed the National Clerical union for "establishment of a minimum living wage for the clergy." While it is announced the union will follow the trend of trade unionism, the clergymen have declared they have no Intention to strike to enforce their demands. They #111 seek not only to establish a mlntmum wage, but also deal wltn provisions for adequate retiring pensions and pensions for widows orphans of clergymen. Rev. C. H.

WAS HERMETICALLY SEALED Question Involved Was Would It I Poselbls to Csleulsts Qusntlty of r#iygo«i Necessary to Airmen " • at High Altltudea. London.--Six days sealed up In a glass case is a daring experiment bearing on aviation which has just been carried out by a middle-aged British university professor, Joseph Bar croft, F. H. S., reader In physiology at Cambridge university. The question Involved was whether it would be possible to calculate the quantity of oxygen necessary to an airman at high altitudes. The case In which Mr. Barcroft was shut up for six days was specially erected in a quiet room In the physiological laboratory. It was sbout seven feet high and about ten feet broad. The floor, walls and roof were made of glass, hermetically sealed and divided Into two compartments--one fitted with a lounge chair and table and the other with a simple bed. Took Regular Exorcise. At the foot of the bed was a peddling apparatus consisting of a frame of a bicycle, from which the front wheel had been removed, and a small back wheel with a frame attached, to enable Mr. Barcroft to «et some exercise and cause a certain amount of work to be done. During his six days In this case Mr. Barcroft spent his time In work relating to the experiments, in taking exercise on the bicycle and In sleeping. He was kept under observation day and night to Insure his personal safety, college students and others taking their turn to keep watch. Nitrogen was continually Introduced Into the chamber and the air became gradually rarer In oxygen until It approximated that at an altitude of 16,- 000 feet when Mr. Barcroft who has had experience In mountaineering, experienced considerable inconvenience from sickness and sleeplessness, and also an indisposition to take any food. At the close of the experiment some blood was taken from Mr. Barcroft's arm. The oxygen the blood contained was separated and It was found to agree with the expectations of the experiment Mr. Barcroft confesses to having felt rather shaken up after his release from the glass case but did not look much the worse for the experience. The experiment Is regarded here as thoroughly successful and a scientific report of It will be laid before the next meeting of the British association, where Mr. Barcroft will be president of the physiological section. 1 brill Pill .o; i ;•!!!« Too can't feel so but wffl Nil Camden Buys Whitman Honqfc Camden, N.

IOWA IS MADE A TARGET Famous Battleship To Be Objective of Big Naval Gunv WIH%» t© Ses Unmanned, Ufltfrt Sfem Steam and Controlled by Wlrelees for Unique Experiment. Washington.--The once famous battleship Iowa, which played no small part in the destruction of Cervera's fleet at Santiago, is being prepared at the Philadelphia navy yard for what naval officers say will be one of the most unique target experiments ever attempted. Proceeding unmanned, but under her own steam and controlled by radio, probably from seaplanes, the old sea fighter will become the objective of the big guns of the Atlantic fleet superdreadnaughts in Chesapeake bay late this summer. This will be the first time that American warships have used a moving craft for a target except In actual war. • Two of the Iowa's coal-burning boilers are being converted to burn oil so the ship may continue under way with no one aboard once its fires have been started burning and Its engines placed In motion. It is expected that the unique practice will give the gun pointers of the Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test their ability under conditions as nearly like those to be expected In battle as can be obtained. Smoke screens will be thrown around the Iowa during the runs and the course will be changed at will through the radio control system, necessitating a change In range on all the firing ships, exactly as would occur in action. The Iowa has already been stripped of some of its guns and much valuable metal and the practice will be continued until the old vessel, a mass of twisted metal, sinks beneath the waves to Join the old Texas, which, as ths San Marcos, was used as a stationary target years ago. Tbe battleship Ohio has been turned Over to the bureau of steam engineering for purposes of experiment in radio control and a staff of expert technical officers has been placed on board to arrange the Iowa practice. \ Edison Uses Telegraph \ Key First Time in 19 Years Puts / Will in Yo« Easy to Get Strong Everyone wants more pep and N ty needs It this hot weather. 1 weather takes away the appetite i nakes one feel listless, lifeless, ible, even when you have a itornach, but for those who have' itomachs, It la really a trying time.

PERIL IN DREDGING WORK * Deepening of East River at New York le Attended With Great Danger. New York.--Death by drowning or dynamite--these are the principal dangers facing the men who are dredging the East river to Long Island sound in order to give New York another deep-sea passage to the Atlantic. How this undertaking, which will require 15 to 20 years and an expenditure of $55,000,000 to $75,000,000, is being carried on was told here by officials of the dredging company which Is doing the work. "The work must be done during the slack water period at the change of tides, and, as there is generally from 500 to 1,000 pounds of dynamite aboard each drill boat, the danger of being "rammed by passing craft and sent to the bottom Is complicated with the possibility of being blown Into the air," one official said. -to Hell oata we ars demolishing Frying i'ui. reef, which is 480 feet by 360 feet. From eight to ten months will be required to complete this task. "The longest slack water period registered In Hell gate during the last 40 years was 23 minutes. It Is within that slack period that drilling points must be located, charges planted and fired and the position of the plant changed. Divers on this work are generally unable to spend more than 15 minutes under water at a time, so that they work hot half an hour In a 24-hour day."
