PRAISE FOR
AMERICAN
WARSH|PS

Washington. Oct 1S.-An informal con-
ference was held at the White House yes
terday afternoon. at which the president.
Sir William White. formerly chief con-
structor OF the British navy; Secretary
Morton. Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral
Converse, chief OF the bureau OF naviga-
tion: Rear Admiral Capps, chief con-
Sevans and Fred z. Rogers discussed
naval architecture. with special reference
10 tho American navy
Sir William White designed a great
many Of the largest battleships OF the
British navy and Is considered by navy
officers the world over TO be one OF the
foremost authorities on naval construc-
ton.
While the conference covered a variety
of subjects in connection with the general
subject OF construction, the new type OF
battleship came in for the greater share
OF discussion.
Sir William White was particularly In
terested In the tentative plans OF the
American naval construction for a battle
ship OF great tonnage-probably between
1sO 900 and 20, 900 tons-with a main battery
OF 10 12-inch guns mounted In turrets, and
broadside. and a secondary battery COM
posed entirely OF 3-inch guns Of the new
type known as the torpedo attack de-
tenders"
The British expert was doubtful as "a
the possibility OF Immediately overcom-
ing the construction problems involved
In the radical departure from ordinary
types. which would be necessary In con-
structing a battleship OF the frst-class
contemplated, but expressed himself as
| confident that eventually such shr
would prove 10 be accepted as the most
| formidable.
| He complimented the construction corp:
of the United States navy on the far
| sightedness shown by II In being the first
to oi.ceive the idea OF battleship OF the
| proposed type, armed according TO the
tentative plans and said he should watch
the development Of the new idea with
! the greatest interest.
Sir William was surprised at the tech
| nical knowledge displayed by the presi
dent In his searching inquiries abou
naval architecture. The president asked
him many questions about our own navy
and the early part OF the discussion con
cerned the effect of the far eastern wal
upon naval architecture.
Sir WilliSm was free TO say that tn,
sea fightirty there had demonstrated be
| yond the shadow of doubt the over
whelming supremacy OF modern battle
ships. He gave his opinions regarding
the most effective type of cruisers anS
their relative position In warfare.
Sir William in reply 10 questions from
the president gave his views OF the Ameri
can navy and expressed the opinion tha
the battleships now building in th
country stood at the front OF the bes
types OF the modern battleship.
Rear Admiral Capps gave dinner a
the Metropolitan club last night to ST
william White. at which many dis
tinguished officials were present.

CAN USE
PLUGGED
NOZZLE

At last the Rhode Island state Fire
mems league has taken a big step In ad-
vance. and has decided 10 allow the use
of plugged nozzles at the musters OF the
league and there will be much rejoicing
on this account IN many OF the fire com
panies throughout the state. Heretofore
the men who held the nozzle at the mus
ters were obliged TO hold the pressure be-
tween the trials. by folding the hose back
Just behind the nozzle and playpipe.
In this manner a large amount OF pres
sure was allowed TO escape thereby max
ing lot more work for the firemen who
have 10 pump II up again before they
can take advantage OF a favorable breeze.
With the use of the plugged nozzle the
pressure can be kept almost as high as
when the men ceased 10 pump and II the
foreman desired 20 pick her up quick.
they are able TO do 40 at once as they
have the force TO work with when the

1t is the fact that plugged and snap
nozzles are used by the Massachusetts
hand engines that such high records are
made at the musters I'm that state and
with practice II Is considered possible
that the local hand tubs can make an
equally good showing in time.
The meeting which was held at the Pio-
neer hall OF South Main street was at
tended by 30 delegates and was the quar-
terly meeting OF the league. Next Janu-
AIRY, on the 11th. annual meeting of the
league will be held.
The matter of preparing a history OF the
league was introduced and committee
comprising President Leroy r.. Whitman.

President Winchester, was appointed 10
consider the matter. An auditing COM
