WILL TRY SLOWER SHIP TURRETs.
Experts Now Think It May Be Preferable
to Keep Guns Longer on Targets.
[Frorn The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. Dec. 1s.-Tmportant changes have
been made in the gearing Of the turrets Of the
United States battleshp Maine. and experiments IN
turret turning Will be conducted on that ship this
winter in the manoeuvres In Southern waters.
There was time when the efficiency OF turret fire
was considered at its best when the could
be turned in the shortest possible time.
The development of machinery for this purpose
resulted In revolutions OF one minute and It
came about that in the rapidity of turning the
quality of sowness in the operation OF the turret
was ignored It is notorious that the naval theory
of Yesterday Is rejected to-day. and what
regarded important may shortly come to be
looked upon useless and even absurd. This has
been demonstrated in the experiences of the naval
EXPERTS with the torpedo tube for ships OF war
II now appears that there is change OF opinion
regarding the turret gearing. and IL Is considered
Important not 70 encourage rapidity in turret
luton much 81 obtain sloWness. In the
mechanism Installed IN the Maine the turret revo
iutfons have been reduced to in two minutes
This change Is made the theory of the strafesst
that Il Is desirable TO keep the turret longer
with the tdrret gear fixed at the present speed.

The Newark police have young man who they
believe is real "Raffles" When arrested on
a charge of burglary he wore long fur-lined
top coat and silk hat. and gave his name as
John Smith He was arrested late Friday night
a moment after he forced his way into the
garage of the Motor Vehicle Company, at No
DIS Broad-st- He walked into the arms Of De-
tective Carson, hiding in the garage, antioipat-
ing the young mans visit
Little is known by the police at present about
their prisoner, but it is thought he is New
Yorker. and that he comes from good family
AT a boarding house in Park Place, Newark.
where the stranger lived for a week, he was
known as John Diamond. He is an affable
talker, and easily obtained a room and board for
the week without paying in advance.
Smith had been Swallowed by Detective Ser
geants virgins and Donovan and Detective
Carson since last Wednesday. One Of them
learned then, so he said, that Smith had planned
to steal an automobile from the Motor Vehicle
Company. A stool pigeon said he had been
approached by Smith or Diamond and asked to
join in the robbery. He used to further
the plans laid by the detectives and learned
when the burglary was to take place. The
detectives trailed Smith night and day. On
Thursday night the shadowing became inter
esting, SO the detectives said. They saw the
young man emerge from his boarding place
and followed him to the Motor Vehicle Com
pany's establishment. He went to the door of
the garage and appeared to be taking an i'm
preston of the lock- Then they followed him
back to the boarding house. The next day the
management of the garage was informed of the
plot and arrangements were made for Carson
to remain In the store. 1t was late Friday night
when the left the boarding house. He
went directly to the garage. He tried 8 key
and then chisel forced open the door and
vent in Carson came from behind the stair
case and the other detectives closed in on their
quarry.
The stranger submitted to arrest At Police
Headquarters the detectives found him

later he tore his hat into shreds, evidently to
destroy any means of identification. He will be
arraigned tomorrow IN the I'd Precinct

He admitted not paying his board. but when
asked If he intended to, said: II no door
mat thief and don't forget it. If was to steal,
would steal enough
