USELESS In A
HEAVY SEA
Bio Guns of Uncle Sans Warshps
No Good When the Waves
Roll High.

Washington, Oct 30.-Startli1g
revelations of the inability Of some
of the best United States battleships
to fight their turret guns, and even
their broadside batteries, in a heavy
sea, are made in a report IN which
Rear Admiral Bradford the recently
relieved chief of the bureau of equip
ment of the navy department, dis
sents from the designs for the $4,000
ton battleships Idaho and Mississippi.
The designs were approved by the
naval board of construction. The ele-
walton of their heavy gun port sills
above the load water line is so little
that in a heavy sea they must be
closed and the guns thereby rendered
imperative. Some members of this
board contend that foreign battleshlps
labor under equal disadvantages, but
tie fact that the thirteen and eight
inch guns on the Kearsarge, the flag
ship of the North Atlantic squadron,
were worthless during SiXty-One days
of last summers cruise will be dis
agreeable message to the bulk of the
American people who believe the
American battleships can come off
victorious in a fight with anybody
and anywhere. Here is the salient
portion Of the report, which was made
public by permission of Secretary
Moody
Speed Is Necessary.
There are two important qualities
in the design of the Idaho and Mis-
sissippi now recommended by the
majority of the board, which | be-
Iieye should receive serious cOnsidera-
ton. The first is in relation to speed
In this design speed in shipbuilding
is second to capacity for sea fighting.
If the speed Of the Idaho and Mis-
5issippi corresponds TO that Of the
old battleships, then they must be
relocated for service to the old battle
ship class and the first line of de-
Tense, composed Of battleships Of the
latest and most powerful type. with a
speed of eighteen knots, is not
strengthened Should to the slow Ida
and Connecticut classes, then the
speed of the fleet will be reduced
from one and one-half to two knots.
Even if this sacrifice should be made
the Idaho class still would be use
less in a moderate seaway, owing to
their low free-bOard.
Reference is made to the report Of
the commanding officer of the Kear-
sarge, which is ship of higher gun
position than the Idaho. 1t is stated
in this report that during sixty-one
days Of the summer cruise the turret
least one-third Of that time the broad
side guns could not be used, both on
account Of the condition OF the sea-

TREATMENT OF THE INSANE
Discussed at Meeting of Superinten
dents of State Institutions.

That insanity is a, disease and that only
old-tlme ignorance and prejudice would
justify the treat nent. of the insane as
criminals was emphasized yesterday by
Dr. Tomlinson, superintendent of the St
Peter hospital, at the quarterly confer
ence of superintendent of the state in
situations. The superintendent met at
the office of the board of control in ST.
Paul. Nevertheless, said Dir. Tomlinson,
the law as to insane persons practically
classes these unfortunates as criminals
They are brought before the criminal
courts they are Charged with being in
sane as if they had committed a burglary
or a murder; they are Committed" to
an asylum, as if they had been tried
and found guilty. They are put in charge
of police officers and are often hand
cuffed. Yet who would order the arrest
of q typhoid fever patient however de-
lirius? Who would think of restraining
such a sufferer with handouts? Insanity,
nevertheless. is quite as much disease
as typhoid fever.
The superintendents discussed a provi-
sion Of the state law appropriat ting $500
for the collection and dissemination Of
scientific data regarding insane patients
