FOURTH AND WASHINGTON J ELECTRIC GUN IS LATEST Fires 1200 Bullets a Minute With out Using Powder. PARIS, July 18. (Special.) If we are to believe the Paris daily papers, the committee to which the inventions of mili tary Interest to the French government are usually submitted is about to conduct experiments with an electric quick-firing gun. for which wonderful things are claimed. The gun, it is stated, is capable of dis charging 1200 projectiles a minute without the use of any powder or other explosive. The Inventor te M. Pouteaux, a Dijon chemist and engineer. The new gun resembles the Maxim gun. It consists of an electric motor, a reservoir for bullets and a tube about six feet long and one-third of an inch in diameter, open- at both ends. The bullets have no cartridges attached and consist simply of pieces of metal. They are lifted elec- trlcally from the reservoir to the tube, on reaching which the "firing current' comes into play and hurls them from the tube. The discharge of bullets continues automatically until the reservoir is emptied. M. Pouteaux maintains great secrecy as to his Invention and will only say at present that it Is based on the utilization of polyphase currents of relatively high frequency. t Fallleres to Visit Spain. LONDON. July 18. (Special.) Always a fervent admirer of the diplomatic meth-. ods of Edward VII, King Alfonso of Spain Is desirous of emulating the example of his royal uncle-by-marriage, and enter taining President Fallleres in his own capital. Such a visit, which is now likely to take place before the end of the year, would at once. put an end to the absurd rumors of differences between the French and Spanish governments on the subject of Morocco. MAY SHUT OUT FLEETS Visits of Foreign "Warships Unwel come In JTorway. LONDON, July 18.-(Speclal.)-On the occasion of the departure of the British Channel Fleet from Norway many of the newspapers expressed satisfaction at the visit and complimented the crews on their model behavior on shore. In political cir cles various opinions were expressed as to the wisdom of opening the closed harbors of Norway to large fleets, as has done recently in the case of the German and the British naval visits. It is pos sible that a movement will be launched with the object of preventing the recur rence of such visits. Dean Russell, of the University of Wis consin, has selected Mrs. Scott Durand to lead the movement for effecting pure milk legislation. Is a source of pride to its officers. It con ststs of the latest model of field gun and a ' battery - of four pieces, supplied with the latest devices for sighting and range finding.. The men are fitted out in khaki uniforms, cartridge belts and 38-caliber Colt revolvers, causing them frequently to be mistaken for ths men of the regular Army. CASE- FOB PSYCHOLOGISTS PRETTY GERMAIN GIRL GUILTY OF FIENDISH MURDER. Pofsons and Shoots Klance After Committing Numerous Thefts and Forgeries Mind Normal. DRESDEN, July 18. (Special.) Ger man psychologists are puzzled over ihe extraordinary case of Grete Beier. the pretty, blue-eyed daughter of the late burgomaster of 'Freiberg, who Is ap parently quite sane, but has been con . rlcted after confessing to deliberately murdering her fiance and forging two wills and other documents. Th girl has been sentenced to death, but a pe tition Is being circulated for the com mutation of the sentence. Thia extraordinary girl murdered her fiance. Engineer Pressler, by mixing cyanide of potassium with a glass of cognac, and then made his death more certain by firing two revolver shots Into his mouth as he lay unconscious. At her trial she coolly confessed how she committed the eclme. but did not seem to feel the slightest remorse. She listened to the death sentence with the same calm composure she had shown during the trial. Th mental experts under whose care he had been placed gave remarkable evidence of her behavior while In an asylum. She was not only absolutely normal In her bearing, but displayed an unusually bright Intellect and even evidence of humane feelings. No traces of hysteria, neurasthenia or epilepsy were to be found In her. The only explanation of her crimes Is that she became the victim of an uncontrollable passion, a 'braln storm." She had only become engaged to Press ler out of pique because of a quarrel with another man. Marker, whom she loved passionately, and to whom she handed over the money she had ob tained by forgery and theft, but who betrayed her to the police. The whole case is one of the most sensational criminal dramas ever known In this country. WILL NOT INCREASE MAILS Penny Postage Between England and America Necessitates Few Changes. LONDON. July 18. (Special.) It is believed at the general postofflce that. In view of the introduction of penny postage for letters to the United States, It will probably be necessary to make up malls for many more place there. The principal towns, such' as New York. Chicago, Philadelphia. St. Louis and San Francisco, have direct bags made up for them, and this number will In all likelihood now be added to, places getting a direct bag, which for merly had their letters through a re ceiving office. At the same time. It is not antici pated that there will be any sensa tional Increase Immediately in the number of letters dispatched to Amer ica because of the change. What hap pened In the caee of the reduction of postage to Canada and Australia and New Zealand Is held to be tolerably conclusive on this point WEALTH IN MILL WASTE R. HAWLEY TO INVESTIGATE LOCAL POSSIBILITIES. . Government Expert Coming to Port land After Several Weeks' Work at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or., July 18. (Special.) Dr. W. C. Hawley, the Government ex pert who has been on the Coast for several weeks making an Investiga tion of the commercial value of the stumps and other waste from the logged-off lands, returned today from Everett, where he attended a conven tion called for the purpose of discuss ing the most feasible means of re claiming logged-off lands. He says the meeting was largely at tended and the concensus of opinion of those present appeared to be one of co-operation, that of forming largei tracts into districts to be cleared under one contract, with either county or state backing. Dr. Hawley reports that the Agri cultural Department of. the Govern ment has detailed Harry Thompson, who will have headquarters in Seattle, to make a special investigation of the logged-off lands. His first duties will be to gather all possible statistics re garding the acreage of these lands on the Coast, the character of soil, etc., and later he will look Into the best and cheapest methods of doing the clearing: Dr. Hawley will leave .tomorrow morning for Portland," where he win continue hta investigations with the waste from the mills for the purpose of ascertaining what products of com mercial value can be obtained from this waste. His report on the result of his Investigations here has ben for warded to the department In Wash ington, but he has requested the de partment to permit him to make a sup plemental report to be submitted to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and to be given out for publication. COCKNEYS HATE M0T0RBUS Forced to Endure Tyranny Because Trolley Cars Excluded. LONDON, July 18. (Special.) The pa tience of the people of London, which is almost American, has at last given out and they have raised a protest against the tyranny of the motor bus, but It if doubtful whether they will accomplish The simple fact is that people growM about motor buses, yet use them because they have practically no alternative. The horse buses are too slow for the 30th century and the Moderates strangle a sensible trolley service. The trolley car service is the only remedy against the drawbacks of the motor bus. Progressive municipalities here, as in America, have introduced trolley cars and are well satisfied, and only ' London, that always prides Itself on lagging be hind the times, is afflicted with motor buses. Tomorrow (Monday) will be positive ly the last day for discount on East Bids gaa bills. Portland Gas Co.
