S. A. G1MRE
Connected with the fact of hi arrest
is a roma.no. It seems that Thompson
fell violently in love with a beautiful
girl living at San Antonio, Texas, and
last Thursday went there to see her. He
was recognized on the street to San
Antonio by Healy, who is a friend of
Winters, and the authorities were called
on to arrest him.
Healy at once wired Winters of the
arrest, i and the latter saw Mr. Man
ning. The San, Antonio police wired
Chief Gritzmacher, asking about the
man and asserting that he had been
arrested on the strength of Healys ac
cusation, though they sent the name as
"Hells."
"A mistake has evidently been made."
said Chief Gritzmacher this morning,
"because I have inquired of District At
torney Manning and be tells me that
nobody has ever asked for the arrest

concerned ?n the larceny of diamonds in

WATER RECORDS LOWERED.
Speed Records Lowered, But Not Endur
ance Tests.
Twenty years 'ago no man
living could swim one hundred
yards under 651 seconds; last year the
record was brought as low as 59 seconds.
Durins the same period 1 minute 501
seconds has been knocked off the 500-
rant time, nearlv three minute off the
half-mile and the mile record has been
reduced from 28 minutes 10f seconds
to 24 minutes 42 3-5 seconds, while
nronortionate reductions have been
made at intermediate and greater dis
tances.
But although our swimmers have
gained speed, says London Tit-Bits, it
is doubtful whether they are a whit
superior in stamina , to their predeces
sors of a score or more years ago; in
deed many of the feats of the 70s
and '80s could scarcely be eclipsed to
day. Thirty-one years have gone by
since Captain $Vtfb startled the world
by breasting bis way across the Eng
lish channel, covering 30J miles in 21 J
hours , feat which such doughty
swimmers as Holbein, Burgess, Holmes,
Heaton and others have tried in vain
to rival,

GROWING LIST OF ACCIDENTS
Five Serious Mishaps to Warships in a Few Months
y New Ships are Always Safe from Sinking.
WASHINGTON, October 20. Strong
measures will be taken by the Navy
Department to prevent the recurrence
of warship accidents sucii as have oc
curred altogether too often in recent
months. In January two of the battle
ships starting for the manouvres off
Cuba collided and were laid up for re
pairs. Norfolk wasthen next the scene
of a collision between two torpedo
boats, in which one barely escaped
sinking. Then the Rhode Island got in
to trouble again, and her captain has
been suspended from duty for six
months for grounding his veel off the
Virginia coast last May. The collision
between the Alabama and the Illinois
off- Newport was even a more serious
affair. Two of trie officers of the Ala
bama have been recommended for court
martial. Lastly, the grounding of the
b Bnton off the coast of Washingrise
oruiser Boston off the coast of Wash
ington have still added further to the
list of accidents already too long.
These mishaps have centered atten
tion on the means of safety- with
which all new United States battle
ships are provided in the form of elec
trically operated power doors. Aa ex-
naval officer, who is thoroughly famil
iar with this subject says: "It is prac
tically impossible to carry out the 'col
lision quarters' drill In a really effect
ive manner and close all watertight
doors and hatches within a "afc period
by hand. With "long Arm' electrcal
powep doors the means and method of
avriding a catastlntpha are entirely
different. When the ship enters a dif
ferent locality the officer of the deck
closes all the doors from the bridge by
means, of the emergency station, con
nected with motors on each door by
electrical conductors. He knows that
the doors have responded by the glow
ing of the indicator lamps at the sta
tion. "The whole operation means that the
ship is made safe in time; that 'the
bulkhead doors vital to her sftfctyVan
always be closed and the ship rendered
unsinkable. The Victoria Campcrdown
disaster could not be duplicated with
any of our new ships, for the reason
that their commanders always have at
hand a means of closing the bulkhead
doors, without regard to what the crew
may do,'
