CBv the Associated Press. !


Pensacola. Fla. March 13.-In the court
martial of Ensign Ward X Workman to-
day the accused continued his testimony
begun yesterday he related to the court
a detailed account Of the explosion on
the battleship Massachusetts, So far the
only point brought out against the ac-
cused is the fact that he was not in the
turret and supervising the loading of
the piece, nor was he cognizant of tho
fact that the gun had been primed for
percussion firing instead of electrically
as ordered. Workman was on the out
side of the turret and did not notice that
one of the gunners had primed and load
cd the piece for percussion firing until
the gunner stepped back. Then he or
dered the man to change to electric fir
ing and in attempting to ease down the
lock the gunner allowed ii to slip from
his hands with the piece partly open,
and the powder ignited. He had received
orders to fire electrically.

Manila aMrch 13.-There is a possibil-
ity that the negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Friar lands by the govern
ment may fail because of the excessive
prices asked by the religious orders and
commercial corporations interested with
the orders. Some of the estimates of
value submitted to Governor Taft and
Archbishop Guidi show the prices to be
double the figures at which the land was
offered for private sale last year. The
government is anxious to purchase the

ARIZONA EXHIBITS
Free Advertising of the Great West
 By the Interior Department.

Another party of three Washington
 gentlemen in the employ of the inter
 for department arrived here yesterday
 and will spend two or three days in
 the valley. They are engaged in the
 preparation of q portion of the cX-
 hibit the interior department will make
 al the St. Louis exposition and their mission therefore is one that will ulti-
 mately be of great benefit to Arizona
 as an advertisement. Their part of the work is to set forth pictoriaily. in
 one way or another, the activities of
 the interior department in the west
 through it's respective bureaus. The bureaus under which the department comes in closest contact with Arizona are the Indian office through the In
 dian schools, the geological survey
 through its reclamation work and the land office through the forest reserves. At the head of the party is James C. Boykin, chief special agent of the in- terior department for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Accompanying
 him are Frank F, Gates of Gates & MOrange, New York, whose special work during the trip is the prepara- tion of panoramas of the Grand Can yon, Yosemite valley and Yellowstone
 park, and F. s. Armitage of the Amer ican Mutoscope & Biograph Co. O: New | York, as a camera operator.
 MT. Boykin stated last night that their special purpose in this valley is
 to secure biograph, or moving pictures, | illustrating scenes at the Indian school and irrigation scenes of various kinds. as they have done at various Indian
 schools already visited and at various
 Indian villages. They are also equip | ped for taking still pictures, but pay 1 less attention to that, as still pictures
 can be made by any good photographer | and can be had at slight expense. A ! large dark room will be at their dis | posal at the fair, and with the use of
 the biograph they can show moving | pictures of many things that will inn ] press a large number of people more | than still pictures, panoramas or mod | els, though each is important in its | proper place. Professor Thompson, for
 instance, who recently visited this city for the geological survey, is engaged
 in the preparation of a topographic | model of the valley that will be on eX-
 hibition. After the visitor to the fair
 has seen the model, noted the tOpogra- l phy of the country and the various
 canals and irrigated areas, he can pass
 into the biograph room and see illus
 trated in life-sized moving pictures.
 the irrigator applying the water to the
 soil, the operation or headgates. etc.
 | The party visited the Albuquerque Indian school, where pictures were se-
 cured of a group engaged in carpenter
 work or house building and other pie lures of a fire drill. At Laguna they got pictures of Indian sports. racing and chicken pulling. At Moki they se i cured pictures of the Iiatcina dances. On the Navajo reservation they got
 pictures of Indians weaving and vari-
 ous sports. such as tug of war, wrest- ! ling, horse racing. etc, while at Keam's
 canyon, another Hopi school. they got
 a nice picture of girls engaged in a
 flag drill. At the grand canyon they
