Afte & test lasting over a period of five months, ‘ durleg which time Tkérman demonstrated | the torpedo for $10 a day and his expenses the government has finally adopted his torpedo and bought the patent. Several periodicals of late have been telling of a new forpedo that the govern- | ment has been testing. This was Iker- | man’s torpedo. The crusing of the battie- ship Texas and its maneuvers during the last few months have been common knowl- edge, but It was not generally known that this battleship was carrying Ikerman and | his patent from place to place to demon- | strate the torpedo before verious naval| officers. During all this time Ikerman has been on the Texas, | No description of the torpedo is obtain- able owing to its being a government sccret. The following expression of a | naval officer during the demonstration of it in the Philippines indicates the high | value at which it is held: ‘“Give men," | £ald the officer, “twelve men and a f- | flclent number of these torpedoes and I can successtully withstand an attack from | the combined navies of the entire world Ikerman has said that from the time the | torpedo started up to the time it strikes it is under perfect control.

It was this starter | that brought Ikerman’s torpedo to the at- tention of the department. Ikerman Is well known in Eldor and Hardin county, where he has lived for| years. He was formerly a coal miner. | Later he worked a truck farm near here, and only last summer he hauled clay for one of the local tile factories. As a Christmas present for one of his daugh- ters he recently purchased a large fruit farm five miles from Kansas City, Mo, paying $30,000 for it. On this farm he ex- pects to spent the rest of his life. The Texas landed in New Orleans re- cently and Ikerman was given transporta- tion to Eldora.
