Determined, ha suys to cheat Imprisonment, Charles Hopper of Chicago, who on Saturday night murdered Daisy Watts also known us Grace Lyons, of Chi cago, by throwing her off a steamer In Lake Michigan, hasj-efused to touch food or drink offered to him in the county jail at Grand Haven. The tragedy is one of the few mur ders committed on government in land waters in years. Officials said last night that a charge of murder would be placed against Hopper in the Grand Rapids federal court. The murder discloses the trag end of a life misspent in Chinese resorts In Chicago by the daughter of prominent Grand Rapids family, ac cording to the confession Hopper made. He declured he committed the crime to prevent the woman return ing to the life of the underworld She, however, was apparently fleeing Hopper to return to her relatives in Michigan. Hopper said he first met the wo man about three years ago and fell in love with her, but she refused to marry him and they separated. Six months ago, he said, he met her in a Halstead street Chinese resort. Ao cording to his story, she then accepted hia offer of marriage, and he took her from the place and they lived together until recently. A week ago she disappeared and he traced her to the same Chinese resort, where he found her smoking opium with 10 Chinese, he said. She left the place with him. but they quarreled soon nfterwards and on Saturday she left. He traced her to the boat and hoarded it. Another scene resulted and the crime was com mitted.

AERIAL TORPEDO ROATS. r.iitish War Detriment Adopt New Device to -Make War InwiNsihlc. London. The widespread public criticism of the English war depart ment's lack of progrerssiveness in the matter of aeronautics has had the re suit of quickening that body into a fit of energy that bids fair to add sev eral innovations to the familiar modes of attack and defense by air. The latest scheme is the construc tion of a torpedo boat with wings, or. not to confuse the reader, an aero plane capable of carrying a torpedo. The naval adv'.s iry committee on t ronautics has the matter in hand, and has set about the construction of a model. The machine will be driv en, in the first instance, by the pro-pell-r of the torpedo; thus effecting a great economy in weight. When the torpelo is released the nrr.ip!at)e will, it is believed, roiiuir only a low velocity to keep it up and this will be supplied by switching a supplementary engine, possible of the compressed air turbine type. It is expected that the first ma chine will he ready for trial within a year. WHALES II APERON RIG LINER TO AMBROSE Cll N.EL Xew York.

The apparatus is so arranged that a pigeon flying at the rate of sixty-three miles an hour can take eight photographs during the period of flight. The first pigeon tried revolted but many are now trained to carry cameras, and are producing excellent results.
