DEFECTIVE ARMOR PLATES

Construction Stopped and 300 Men Laid
Off-The Whole Inspection System
Must Be Changed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The special
board appointed by Secretary Herbert to
investigate the charges that plate of an
inferior quality has been furnished for
the battleship now building at Newport
News will resume its inquiry at that
place next Monday. AS far as it has
gone, the inquiry indicates that the
much larger than was at first supposed
and that the consequences may be very
serious in the way of delaying the work
of constructing the battleships in which
the department is much interested. As it
is the inquiry has caused the suspension
and 300 men have been laid off, a dis :
agreeable outlook for Christmastida
The hardship is said to be great in the
case of the constructing company, which
has accepted the plate upon the report
of the government inspection board
and is now facing the probability of be :
ing obliged to remove a good deal of
the plating which has already been
placed and riveted besides being und ar
the necessity of suspending actual con-
struction. / is likely that the outcome
of the inquiry will be complete change
in the present inspection system, and if
congress can be induced to make the
necessary provision, corps of civilian
expert inspectors will replace the naval
officers who are now detailed for inspec-
