LINES NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND TORPEDOES One Could Have Sunk the Lusitania All Right, Says Former Navy Yard Man Beautiful Piece of Machinery, a Torpedo "A torpedo is a most terrible thing," said John F. Hinton. a form er employe in the Brooklyn -navy yard, and now traveling salesman, who was here this morning. Hinton was discussing the Lusitania incident. "There seems to be doubt aa to wheth er one or two torpedoes struck the liner," he said. "Well, one could have done the job nicely. No matter if her compartments were closed au tomatically and in this instance very promptly, which I have failed to see mentioned in the papers, that torpe do could have made a bole in her side that would have let the water into a number of them enough to sink her. And the hole, mind you, would be partly below the water line as well as above it. Liners are built to float after most unusual accidents, but they are not built to withstand shells and what is worse, torpedoes." The torpedo is a very expensive im plement, said Hinton. "Built? Why, there never was a clock that contain ed as much delicate mechanism. Ad justments in j a Whitehead or any other type that may;; be used are measured by the one-thousandths of an inch. .That's a fact." (By the United Press) Berne, Switzerland, May 11.

There will be no action until then. Italy's military prepara tions are continuing at fever heat. WORLD COURT CONGRESS MIGHT OFFER SOLUTION The Southern Express Company has virtually accepted Recorder T. C. Wootcn's construction of the "an ti-jug" law as regards , whisky. It agrees with the local judge that the law permits only one receptacle, whether its capacity is a gill or a quart, containing spirituous liquor, to be received by a person in two weeks. Beer, however, seems to be an un certain matter. Shippers in the 'wet States say (that Judge Wooten is right; there shall be only one recep tacle. Therefore, they hold, there is one receptacle the crate. Of course, there are 48 lesser containers in a crate, but the crate, by their fiction and loger-de-main, is paramount "the receptacle." - ".Nothing doing," uis Honor as serts. One of the 48 bottles is a re ceptacle it contains '"something. Therefore, 48 bottles are 48, and the crate, added, makes 49, receptacles. At least, that is the way he con strued the law. which construction is the strictest, in accordance with the custom of the law. (By the United Press) Washington, May 11. Leo M.
