guard. The five men were charged by
the coroner's jury with being guilty of
murder. Sidney Rowe was also slight
ly injured in the fight. Allen was shot
ten times with either revolver or rifle
and shotgun.
The fight Is Baid to have been the
outcome of trouble over right-of-way
for a road through Allen’s place that
the Chances and Rowes wanted. The
road question had already been sched
uled to be heard in ordinary's court
next Wednesday.
According to county ofifeers, the

Mew York.—A successful mechan
ically controlled flying torpedo, des
tined, It la bettered, to revolutionize
land and sea warfare, haa been de
veloped for the United States army
and navy air services. In a secret teat
the remarkable aircraft, said to ba
the most important aerial weapon ever
constructed, flew over New York city
and two Eastern states.
The flying torpedo could easily have
wrought great destruction to lower
Manhattan hud it been loaded at the
time, according to war official a nl
Washington. Experiments with this
machine hnvo been carried on for sev
eral months In Chesapeake bay, in
New Jersey, mid Ohio, but under the
strictest secrecy, not more than 100
persons in the entire country having
knowledge of IL
The aerial torpedo has already made
upwurd of 100 flights, approximately
5,000 miles in the air. Its develop
ment, according to the experts, means
that coastal fortifications are made
obsolete.
Attacking in large numbers, ma
chines of this type will he able to an
nihilate cities with Incendiary explo
sives and poison gases, without loss of
a single life to the attacking forces,
experts declare. In actual warfare,
the flying torpedoes will be guided
through the air to their targets with
out a soul on board.
In its flight over New York city a
few weeks ago, the experimental fly
ing torpedo made an unexpected land
ing nenr a small town in eastern Penn
sylvania. This lauding attracted lit
tie attention at th£ time.
Tho test flight on thaf occasion was
begun from a landing ground near
New York city. After the engine was
started, the machine ran a short dis
tance across the field, took the air suc
cessfully, and climbed to the' prede
termined altitude. It then set Its course
due west, straight into a still head
wind.

London.—The late Dr. O. E. Morri
son, correspondent of the London
Times at Peking, had collected a splen
did library of books relating to Chins
which he sold to the house of Mitsui
in Japan. The Mitsuls, the Rothschilds
of the Far East, wore about to estab
lish a seat of Oriental study and de
sired the Morrison books for this pur
pose. Tills much is known, but what
happened to the library between the
books leaving Doctor Morrison's house
In Peking mid their arrlvul at Tokyo
is not generally known and rends
somewhat like a romance.
These priceless volumes were
packed by the Japanese agents of the
purchaser In ordinary packing cases
and niude the Journey safely through
the Yellow sea nml were landed ut the
Japanese port of arrival. The cases
were then put Into tlie ordinary ware
houses of the port. Then u strange

The Japanese port was suddenly
visited without warning by a tidal
wave of unprecedented force and di
mension. All the warehouses were
flooded and the whole library was
drenched In sea water. It seemed
that the damage lo the priceless col
lection of hooks must be irrepnrable.
The house of Mitsui, however, is re
sourceful ; every scrap of blotting pa
per In Jnpati was secured and literal
ly thousands of hands were set to
work interleaving every damaged page
with blotting paper. The entire ap
proach to this particular port was
blocked with wonderful books being
dried—like Bombay ducks—in the sun.
The damage, of course, was heavy,
but from the literary standpoint the
library was saved.
