THE TEXAS POSITION
omcers Tell of the Battleship's
Work at Santiago.
Mondays Proceedings in the sehIey
Naval Court Inquiry Was at Times
OF an Exciting Nature During
Mr.. HeiIner's Testimony.

Washington, Sept. 24-The part
played by the battleship Texas in
the naval battle of Santiago July 3,
1898, IN which the Spanish feet IN
der Admiral CerveFa was sunk, was
the basis of the greater part of Mon
days proceedings in the Schley naval
court of inquiry. Of the four wit
nesses examined during the day three
had been officers on board the Texas
during the battle and two of them
were new witnesses. These were
Commander George c. HeiIner, who
was navigator on the Texas, and
Commander Alexander B. Bates, who
was the chief engineer on that bat
tIeship. Commander Harder, execu-
tive officer and the chief surviving
officer of the ship since the death Of
Capt. Philip, was recalled. The fourth
witness was Commander Seaton
Schroeder, executive officer on the
Massachusetts and now governor of
the island of Guam.
The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat exciting and
it was especially so when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He
said that when the Brooklyn made
its loop at the beginning of the bat
tie it passed across the Texas bow
at distance not to exceed 100 to $50
yards and that at the command of
Capt. Philip the Texas had been
brought to a dead stop.
Engineer Bates testified that the
starboard engines had been stopped
and said he thought this also had
happened to the port engines. Com
mander Heilner expressed the opinion
that three miles had been lost by
this maneuver and the fact that part
of the machinery was deranged. He
said he considered that the Texas
was in greater danger when the
Brooklyn crossed her bow than at
any other time during the battle.
On cross-examinatiOn Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part
in the preparation of the official navy
department chart showing the posi-
tions at different times of the ships
which participated in the battle. He
said that according to this chart the
two ships were never nearer than 600
yards of each other. But he con-
tended the chart was inaccurate, and
he said he had only consented to it
as a compromise. Commander Bates
admitted that the official steam log
OF the Texas contained no record of
the signal to reverse the engines.
Commander Schroeder testified con-
corning the coal supply of the NIassa-
chusetts, which he said would have
been sufficient for a blockade of from
10 to 20 days. The day closed with
another animated controversy be-
tween counsel as to the policy of
bringing Admiral SIMPSONS name
into the trial.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 25.-It is be-
Heved by the financial committee of
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows who
are checking up the shortage of the
grand secretary, D. W. Kent, that
the amount OF the defalcation will
run close to $4,000. It now develops
that suspicion concerning Kent's
manipulation of accounts was aroused
three years ago, but no action was
taken by the lodge. At that time

two driving teams, for which he had
paid about $4,000. Kent is believed
to be in old Mexico.

\ large crowd Of football enthusiasts
gathered on the Butler campus yesterday
afternoon to witness the final practice of
the University of Indianapolis players prior
to to-days game with the Franklin College
eleven, which will be called at o'clock
at Washington Park Nearly all the play
ers of the two elevens were in uniform, but
the varsity team did not line up against
the second eleven. Coach Kelly gave the
players signal practice and a little light
work. France coached the line and
Kelly the men behind the line. Coach Kelly
says the team is in better condition to play
to-day than when it met Earlham last Sat
urday.
A special from Franklin states that the
Franklin team is in crippled condition,
VIII Pritchard. the half back, and Spur
geon, the big tackle, both being unable to
play, as a result OF the mix-up with In
diana at Bloomington last Saturday.
There will be a slight change I'm the line
up OF the University of indianapolis eleven.
Van Wrinkle will go in at left guard and
Pritchard will play full. judah will take
care of left half, with Mehring at right
half. The rest of the team will line up as
it did in the game with Earlham. Hess, a
new candidate for guard who has had
experience with one of the Chicago elevens,
in uniform yesterday, but will not be
in the line to-day unless sent in to replace
one of the regular men. He is a strapping
big fellow and Is well acquainted with the
game. As soon as he gets into condition he
will play on the regular eleven. Captain
Pritchard is well satisfied with the condi
ton of the men who will face Franklin
to-day and believes L. of l. will experience
but little trouble in piling up big score
against the visitors
With such men as France, Siegmund,
Mehring, judah. CorSon and Pritchard to
carry the ball, reinforced and aided by the
remainder of the aggregation, the Indian
apolis team should win a decisive victory
from the Franklin eleven. On the side line
will be Hess. Martin. Rogers Edison. Mace,
Schiller and Forsythe ready to go INTO the
services.
About seventy-five students will accom-
pany the Franklin team, leaving Franklin
to-day at noon or a special car.
The players and their weights who will
nj to-day are as follows.
