BATTLESHIPS CRITICISED.
UNSAFE, SAYS Mr.. H4LE.
Naval Erperts Think This Country
Must Continue to Build Them.
TFRoM ruz TRIBUNE sUR..AU.I

Washington. April Ex-senator Hale in sub
mitting the report Of the conferreeS on the
Naval Appropriation bill 10 the Senate to-day.
took occasion TO make some rather sensational
remarks regarding the usefulness OF the modern
battleship drawing sweeping fnferences from
the Russo-Japanese war and expressing regret
that it was not in the power Of the conferrees
to eliminate from the bill the provision for the
construction of a battleship.
Naval authorities in Washington. however.
take issue with Mr. HaIe's conclusions. which
they regard as hardly warranted by events in
the Far East They maintain that, so long as
other nations build battleships this country must
do likewise. il it would keep its navy in condi-
tion to meet a foreign enemy on the sea The
conclusion that submarine torpedo boats have
been proved to be OF exceptional value by events
at Port Arthur they regard as unwarranted
Senator Hale said il had been proved that II a
battIeship is struck below the waterline it will
lose its centre OF gravity and turtle. with
the probable less OF all on board: but naval
officers say that one swallow does not make
summer nor does the occasional explosion Of an
engine boiler impel railroad companies TO aban-
don the locomotive and revert to horse power
install gasOlene motors.
Thus far in the opinion Of naval experts.
nothing as to the efficiency of submarine torpedo
boats has been proved by developments in the
war. one English submarine has turned turtle
and gone to the bottom with all on board. but
they do not wholly condemn submarines on that
account.
There IS question in the minds Of naval
constructors that SO long as foreign nations con-
tinue to construct battleships this country VIII
have to do the same. They believe that when
the time comes. if II ever does. for the abandon
ment of this type of warship, IL vii have to be
abandoned by all nations simultaneously, giving
place to some much more powerful form OF
naval weapon, which will crowd out the bat
tleshp precisely as the rifle rendered armOr
obsolete

Kingston. " Y. April 25.-Judge Parker left
here this morning for Albany, expecting to ar
rive in time for the opening session Of the Court
Of Appeals. He said he expected to spend the
week in Albany in good, solid work on the cal
enda= Of that court, and would find very little
time TO devote to Presidential booms or politics
Of any kind.
When asked by Tribune reporter If he had
any comment to make on the Chicago criticism
Of William J. Bryan on the Democratic plat
form framed by the recent State convention at
Albany. he threw back his head and laughed
heartily. He was evidently surprised at the
temerity Of the question and seemed at first 10
regard it as a joke. But the manner Of his
laugh and bearing betokened feeling OF de-
rision for the man whose bold utterances as
TO himself personally and his political platform
he was asked 10 express an opinion. Recovering
from his hilarity, he said

these newspapers keep sending their represent
