DEFECTIVE PLATES.
Lieut.. Alderman Creates n Sensntion
With "a Little List.

The armor plate Investigation before the
naval affairs committee yesterday devel-
oped some sensational testimony Lieut.
Ackerman handed the committee a list of
the defective armor plates furnished to
wafships by the Carnegie Company, giving
the numbers OF the plates and their present
positions on the respective ships. They
are as follows: Inside armor of Monad-
mock. In coming tower of Minnea polls
sachusetts finch easement, starboar I'd
sponsor OF New York. also in starboard
sponsor of New York, Monteray's forwar I'd
turret, Minneapolis coming tower port

or the foregoing plates the defects are
or various kinds and degrees of seriousness
One Is a plugged plate containiu. 10 blow
holes. and a plugged hole made by q cog
wheel. which was pressed into the plate
BY mistake. One is said to contain a blow
hole In which a wire was inserted to a
depth OF four feet. The defects Of these
plates consist Of irregular treatment of
ms nufacture.
Lieut.. Alderman said the investigations
disclosed no serious defects in bolts He
believed the superintendent Of The works
responsible for the Irregularities and while
this superintendent was too shrewd to give
orders for such irregular work, his indirect
influence brought 1t about.
This closed Lieut.. Ackerman'S evidence
which had proceeded for two days The
committee regarded 1t as the most yalu-
allie yet given. The next meeting will be
on Wednesday, when the Alderman evil

cent paragraph In the papers as to the re-
suits of his visit south is a pure fabrica-

weeks later, becoming somewhat debiI-
ftated he again went to the hospital where

The annual parade and exhibition drill
of the High School cadets which, previous
to last year. took place on the plaza in
front of the Arlington Hotel, has always
attracted an enormous number Of specta-
tors, and reflected the utmost credit on
Major Burton II. Ross, the drill instructor of
the cadets, and On the young men them
selves. Since the enlargement of the corps

SENTIMENTAL VERDICTs.
They Are an A0surdtty Where the
Law should De Supreme.

From the Seattle Post intelligence.
At San Francisco the jury found a verdict
of murder In the first degree against Mrs.
Jane Shattuck. who shot and killed Harry
Poole because he refused to marry her
daughter whom he had seduced. The YER
dict is a vindication of the law, which al
lows no man or woman TO revenge a real
or fancied wrong by resort to murder but
the singular part of the affair is that while
juries will not permit a mother to shoot
her daughters alleged seducer, a Jury is
very apt to acQuit a man who shoots the
paramour of his wife, sister or daughter
is quite likely to acquit a woman who
shoots her 'seducer," and yet u jury sell
dom acquits wife who shoots a woman
who has seiuced' her husband although
It will acquit the husband who shoots the
"seducer'' of the wife.
All these sentimental verdicts are absurd
The law no more authorizes q man to shoot
The so-called "seducer Of his wife" than n
authorizes "a woman TO shoot the so-called
'seducer'' of her husband or her daughter.
and while the San Francisco verdict Is
within the law. it illustrates the utter in
consistency of all verdicts which stand for
sentmentalism rather than for justice

commanders of regiments have been or

a Series of Denlals,

Mr.. Reed said that the firm Of Nash,
Spaulding & Co., Of which he was a MEN,
Der, were holders of considerable of the
trust stock. and was then examined by Sem
ator Allen in regard to the details Of the
company. Mr.. Reed declined to say how
much of the stock of the trust his firm
owned. but he said he understood that about
S3O.UOOOO of it was held in New England
Senator Allen asked MIR. Reed a great many
questions designed to develop the fact that
the sugar refners were acting in concert to
secure tariff legislation, but he persisted in
saying that he had met some OF the other
reflners, there had been no special confer
ence and that he had pursued his own
course. Mr.. Reed also said in reply to Ques-
tons from Senators Gray and Lindsay that
the arguments for sugar duty made dur
ing the present Congress had not been diff
ferent from those made in 1890, when the
Mckinley bill was pending.
Senator Allen asked the witness a number
Of questions as to the division of territory
between the different reflners, and desired
to know how it happened that Mr. Spreckles
supplied all the western territory, but Mr.
Reed protested to know of no understanding
of this sort, and said If Mr. Spreckles had a
monopoly Of the west 1t was because the
Rocky mountains were a barrier to eastern
refners.

MIR. REEDS EXAMINATION.
He Tells Something to the Sugar
Trust Committee. but Denies More

After The Stars report of the Senate SUI
gar investigation closed yesterday after
noon Mr. Henry r. Reed Of Boston said he
had frequently talked with Senators Nc
Pherson, Voorhees,, Jones. Brice Aldrich
and Platt. He said he had seen Senator
Jones more frequently than any other men,
Der Of the Senate, and had given the Sem
Gtor. at his request a great deal Of Informal
ton about the sugar refining business,
much of it relating entirely to the business
of his own house and of confidential ma
ture. This information was given. ne said,
to enable Senator Jones and the finance
committee to form fair estimate as to
what would be equitable treatment for the
retiners in dealing with the sugar schedule
as TO what would mean ruin and the re-
verse of Il" He said the House bill, If it
should have become law, would have
meant ruin TO his business. He had. how
ever. used no other argument with Senator
Jones or any one else. He had said nothing
about any supposed Indebtedness of the
democratic party to the sugar refiners. He
confessed that he had been 4 contributor
TO the democratic party lin modest way
for a great many years, and expected to
continue his contributions, but not to ask
any favors on that account
Was I'm Tcrreirs Room.
Mr.. Reed said he had met Mr. Have
meyer frequently while they were both in
Washington, and had met him In Mr. Ter
relIs room at the Arlington, but he did not
remember that he had been there on the
night of the Ith Of March. when Mr. Gas
ton testified to overhearing a communica-
ton between sugar men and Senators. He
had, however. met Senator Brice at Mr. Ter
rell s rooms, and he thought he had also met
Senator Smith there, but he had never been
there when Mr.. Havemeyer was explaining
the sugar question to him. However, the
proposed sugar schedule was the chief sub
ject of conversation. He was sure that
nothing was said on that occasion about
democratic campaign contributions. Mr.
Reed said he knew nothing of sugar stock
speculations by Senators. He also denied
having been in the Capitol with Mr.. Have
meyer and others arranging sugar schei-
ule on the Sunday before the tariff bill was
reported. He had, he said, been a frequent
visitor at Senator Brice's house, but had
never met other Senators there. except on
one occasion early in the spring. when he
met Senator Hill going out at the door and
found Senator Caffery in the library. When
asked by Senator Davis whether the present
sugar schedule was in accordance with his
views. Mr.. Reed said 1t was. except that he
had advocated a larger dlfferential duty on
sugar above IL Dutch standard. He thought
1t was also in accord with the desires Of
Mr. Havemeyer and other reflners, so far
as it adhered to the ad valorem system.
