cealed weapons" said Judge Atchison
to Howard this morning, ARE you gull
ty or not guilty?'
Perhaps do not understand the law

said Howard. Does that mean carry

New York, April S.-The World says:
Dry dock No. 3 will not be able to
receive one of the battleships of the
navy for months to come.
Two leaks have been discovered in
this dock within AZ hours. Notwith-
standing the fact that nearly $4,000
has been spent in trying to make this
dock ready to receive the battleships
of the North Atlantic squadron it has
been found necessary to make addition
al alterations in order to insure the
safety of the dock. The leaks were
discovered shortly after the water had
been turned in the small Enclosure just
outside the dock proper Wednesday
morning. 1t was the first test made
under the supervision of Naval Con-
structor F. T. Bowles, who is in charge
of the construction department at the
Brooklyn navy yard.
The water rushed into the open space
with great force and ran over a sea wall
on the east side of the dock. When the
accident was discovered Constructor
Bowles ordered the water turned Off and

pressure. No reports of this accident
were made to Rear Admiral Bunce. com

department was not notified of it,
According to Constructor Bowles. it will
take at least six weeks before the dock
can be put in readiness to receive at bat
tleship or any other vessel. The big dock
was intended almost exclusively for the
reception of the big battleShipS.
