THE COLUMBUS GUNS
Efficiency Of the Cruisers Battery to Be
Tested. as.
What Will BE shown at the Coming
Trial of the Vessel-What Naval
officials Say.

One of the points to be demonstrated by
the coming trial of the Columbia is the
efficiency of her battery. Special attention
will be devoted to this matter, because it
is alleged that four Of her broadside guns
are so badly mounted as to be practically
useless. The guns in question are six
Founders. and belong to the secondary bat
terry. The charge that they are badly placed
was recently investigated by officers of the
ordnance department. 1t was discovered
that working space allowed in the guns.
while sufficient for the purpose, is some
what cramped. and that they are all too
h,gs are sufficient to allow for sighting in
all directions, but the space at the top is
not altogether sufficient for operating the
guns to the best advantage.
The statement that 1t will be necessary
to change the mounts before the guns can
be used is emphatically denied at the Navy
Department. All that is necessary to i'm
prove the sighting facilities is to raise the
Increase the opening at the top. There is
no necessity whatever for lowering the
guns. The changes indicated can be made
without much expense. No attempt Is
made to conceal the fact that the guns
do not fit the port holes as well as they
should, but the ordinance officers deny
in most positive terms that the guns ere
useless in their present position and that
radical changes in the mounts are neces-
sary.
As is usual in such cases, the contractors
have tried to shift the blame on to the
government in order to avoid the expense
attending the alterations. On the other
hand. naval officers assert that the con-
tractors alone are at fault in having de-
parted from contract specifications.
This point is yet to be determined. No de-
cision will be made in regard to the four
small guns until after the official trial of
the ships battery at sea at the end of this
week.

MRS. ALDRICH's APPOINTMENT.
The Controversy Over the New Super
fntendent of the Girls Reformatory.

Inc controversy over the New SUPER
fntendent of the Girls Reformatory.
1t was expected the Commissioners would
take up for action today the appointment
Of Mrs Aldrich as superintendent Of the
Girls Reform School. 1t transpires that
Mrs Aldrich is British subject, and quite
a protest has gone forth against her ap-
pointment The Commissioners are con-
sidering the case and may reject the ap-
pointment. which was made by a majority
Of the board of trustees. Superintendent
of Charities Tracey. in conversation with a
reporter Of The Star upon the subject to-
day, said:
The reform school for girls is a new .n-
stitution, projected in 1883, but the erection
of which was provided for only by the ap-
preparation act Of July IA. 1872. The build
ing was completed last year. and was OPEN
ed for the reception of inmates only during z
the autumn. The nrst superintendent, Mrs.
Matthews, spent some time in preparing
the premises for occupancy, but with that
exception all the employees are necessarily
comparatively new to the new institution.
Several names were considered for the su-
perlntendency when Mrs. Matthews re-
signed, and, as she was on leave of absence
for some time before her resignation took
effect, 1t was necessary to designate an act
ing superintendent, and Mrs. Aldrich was
put in charge. In that capacity she gave
satisfaction, no complaint of her manage
ment reached the superintendent of chart
ties and reports called for were duly fur
nished- The superintendent of charities
did not recommend Mrs. Aldrich or any one
else for the vacant position. In answer to
an inquiry. he certified to the qualifications
Of another lady than Mrs. Aldrich, based
upon the services of that lady in a District
Institution Beyond that he took no part in
the selection, made under the act of incor-
poration approved July 8. 1889. which pro-
Nides that the board of trustees shall have
authority to appoint sucn officers, agents
teachers and other employees as may be
necessary, and fix the rates Of compensa-
ton for the same. subject to the approval
~ the Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia Salaries are. however. fixed by
the appropria ton law-that of superintend-
ent at H,3DO a year. The question now
pending is whether the Commissioners shall
disapproye the action of the board of trus-
tees.

BROOkLYN, N. ", May 14-Peter De-
lacy, king of the New York pool room

much damage as he is capable Of to the

Club at GraveSend tomorrow
Accompanied by Mr.. Elliott, Delacy Wis

Mr.. Ridgeway said to Mr.. Delacy that If
he learned of any violation of the law or
any likelihood of its being violated he would
be prompt to take proper action.
While the interview was progressing a
delegation of pool room men arrived and
were received rather coldly by the district
attorney. They brought with them affidavits
and warrants. The affidavits were from
unknown parties. and alleged that the
Brooklyn Jockey Club and its officials were
about to engage i'll a lottery; that the
money which is represented in the stake
OF the Brooklyn handicap was a lottery
and therefore against the law of the state
The affidavits did not touch on the point
of book betting and pool selling on the
track. as that would be swearing out war
rants for something which was in the flu
ture. Alleging the money now up for the
handicap to be lottery scheme cleverly
enough gives a basis for warrants to be is
sued.
The warrants were drawn for the officials
OF the Brooklyn Jockey Club. and for prom
lnent horsemen whose horses will engage
in the event.
The pool-room delegation soon took their
departure TO hunt up justice of the peace
who would sign the warrants. These war
rants can nave no effect except to place
the officials of the track under arrest and
cannot interfere in any way with the run
ming of the handicap.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Speculation re-
sumed its mechanical operations this morn
ing. without a single feature Of sufficient
moment to promote activity. The bank
holiday in London kept foreigners out OF
our market and there was no local news Of

mostly slightly higher than Saturdays clos

elections was paramount to any desire to
trade. During the first three hours there
was not single transaction In certain
stocks usually among the first to appear on
the tape. Owing to the completeness Of the
inertia, 1t Is impossible to determine which
faction is at present in the ascendancy.
There was some good buying of Chicago

who are confident of winning the quo war
ranto suit. On early trading the price was
marked up "a per cent, and continued firm

The severe arraignment of the sugar trust
In several of the morning papers had O de-
pressing effect on the securities of that
company. Fears Of a congressional inves-
aga ton argued against the advisability Of

account of inside interests. who are not

In the railroad list there were no changes

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Another Attempted Murder in Jer-
sey City's Outskirts.
A YOUNG GIRL SHOT BY her LOVER
Robbed Her and Left Her for
Dead.
ABLE TO TELL HER STORY

JERSEY CITY, N. j., May 1.-THE body
of a pretty, well-dressed brunette young
woman was found by party of workmen
as they were passing by an unfrequented
road at I:30 O'Clock this morning on their
way to work near Snake HILL The body
was covered with blood. which flowed from
bullet wounds in her head and body, the
sight of which shocked the workmen. The
wounds were I'm the right ear and left
breast The young woman was not dead
the men finding that her heart pulsated
family.
The workmen carried the young woman
into the Hudson county aims house at
Snake Hill. Her clothing was not disar-
ranged when she was found, which would
Indicate that she had not been assaulted
but her dress was badly torn, and there
were marks on the ground of a severe
struggle. The young woman was placed
upon cot in the hospital, and DIR. Quinn
the house surgeon, applied restoratives, and
the woman regained consciousness. After
long time she was able to make a state
ment to DR.. Quinn.
Her name is Sadie Wertz She ran
away from her home at Rome, n. Y, with
Bernard Holdenberger, reaching New York
yesterday afternoon. They came over to
Jersey City at Demands suggestion, and
walked about until dark. She wanted to go
to some place for food and rest, but he re-
fused and when she started alone became
angry and shot her. All her money and
tewelry and anything that might identify
her was taken.
Chief Murphy got to work on every clew
and felt confident that the murderer would
be caught before he had gone far. 1t was
thought that he either went Immediately to
New York or else took a train from the
Pennsyivania station, perhaps to Philadel-
phia-
A report was in circulation this morning
that man answering the description of the
assassin entered the Pennsylvania station
shortly after O'Clock last night and bought
ticket for Philadelphia. Inquiry at the
station fails to substantiate it. Holden
bergers description Is as follow: About
five feet six inches in height. beardless and
pimpled face. He wore a white hat and
light trousers"
The wounded girl was neatly but plainly
dressed in clothes OF dark material She
locked as II she might be domestic of the
better class. She was in such a critical con-
dition that 1t was feared to remove her to
the City Hospital 1t was said that If she
lived the day out and was strong enough
this would be done later. The chances
seemed, however, that she would die during
the day.

INDIAN AUTHORIZATIONS.
Proposed Reductions May Cause
Trouble With the Red Men.

The tendency toward economy in appro-
priations has been so great that grave fear
Is expressed by those familiar with the In
dams and the Indian service that the result
may be trouble from some of the tribes, as
well as Gripping of the service. unless
the Indian appropriation bill is amended
before 1t passes. Representative Wilson OF
Washington has been investigating the
subject, and he is prepared to show the
House that the cuts on the Indian service
90 to the bone
The cut on the Apache Indians, from
$1,000 TO $4,000. will necessitate a re-
auction next year Of one million pounds OF
beef and 10000 pounds of -four 1t is his
opinion, based on the authority of those in
the service, that this cut on food is likely
10 lead to trouble from the Apaches.
1t Will also be shown that the Indian Do
Ice service will be made inefficient by the
proposed cut The pay OF officers and pri-
Yates amounts to S115,5O0. the police uni
forms cost at contract price 81 400 and the
ratlons $500 From this IL will be urged
that the police service cannot be kept eff
ncient at the proposed figures.
The cut Of $4,000 on Indian schools will
be opposed as an embarrassment to the
educational part Of the service at time
when Increased attendance is showing the
good effects of the policy Of educating the
Indians. The contract schools cost about
SSO0,OOO and IL the cut stands very few of
the contract schools can be continued in
operation 1t is said. also, that the cut
ting in two OF the amount for transporting
pupils Will not leave enough to get the pu-
pills to their various schools. leaving out of
consideration pupils from schools to their
homes 1t appears also that the support
Of Indian pupils at Industrial, agricultural,
mechanical and other schools in the various
states has been abandoned by the bill. An
estimate Of $4,000 for this purpose was
made, but 1t was dropped from the bill.
There are many other specific items which
VIII be pointed out ds likely to cripple the
service and cause mutterings and possible
uprisings among the Indians.
