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.
