pIa GuNs ExrENsIyE.
Costs Too Much to Fire 1e-lnch Mon
 sters of Navy.

sters of Navy.
 New York. June 26.--The ordinance experts of the United States army are said to have practically decided that the 1e-inch gun from which so much was expected Is not prcticable as weapon, and decision by the War De- partment to abandon the type Is antic- ipated Only one of these guns has been so far made, and is now at Sandy Hook. The experiments while show ing that the gun is all that was ex- pected of 1t in one way, nevertheless convinced the experts that as weapon 1t Is too costly.
 Colonel Greer, Chief of Ordnance of the Department of the East. said that while 1t had not been decided to dis card the gun now at Sandy Hook, It was not likely in his opinion that the made.
 "The gun," he said, twas ordered about seven years ago when 1t was de- cided to increase the calibre of our largest weapon for coast defense from 12 to 16-inches. At that time England was having a number of such guns made, and great things were ex- pected of them. All the English guns were failures. Ours have been fired perhaps half a dozen times in proving 1 it. In one way 1t was a success. as | it has done all that was promised for | 1t in range and emectiveneSS. Tnere | is no doubt fthe result if 1t ever hits anything.
 ''On the other hand, however, every discharge of the gun Is tremendously costly in amount of labor required, and in expense of the charge. The | gun Is a little more likely perhaps to | miss the target than smaller gun, and a miss Is pretty costly. Taking | 1t all in all. it would seem as though | several guns of smaller caliber would be more effective than one 16-inch gun. It is not at all likely, in my opinion. that the government will ever build another one, although. of coufse. the gun now at Sandy Hook will prob ably be kept there."
 The government had planned to build forty such guns, eighteen to be placed at Sandy Hook, ten at San Francisco, eight at Boston, and four at Hampton Roads. The great point made for the gun was that its projec- tile would sink a battleship if hit. It's range was about twenty-one miles. The projectile is sixty-four inches long and weighs, 2.370 pounds. In early experiments it was found that more than half a ton of powder, costing s265, was needed to fire the piece. The projectile cost $500. It requires three times as many men to handle the 1e inch gun than are needed to care for a 12-inch.

SHOT H. |. BRANTLEY
GOODWIN JONES MISTAKES HIM
 FOR ANOTHER.
r1ke County Man Painfully Wounded nf Door of Diserderiy House a1oved to Hospital ana VIII

1rIstaking him for another man with whom he had previously had trouble Goodwin Jones. a well known man Of Montgomery shot and painfully wounded H. l.. Brantley of Banks, Pike County. a stranger to him, as Brnntley started up the steps to the horne of Mabel Dale. a white woman. nt 1I9 Lidie Street, about II 80 o'clock last night.
 Brantley was struck twice, one shot taking effect in the left thigh and passinE through the groin and one shot through the fieshy part of the left arm. A surgeon was summoned irn- mediately after the shooting and after an examination of the wounds Rro- nounced them not dangerous.
 Jones was arrested by Patrolmen swearingen and Partin and was taken to police headQuafters where he was released on bond. Brantley realized that the shooting was the result of a mistaxe and refused to prosecute Jones.
 Jones had trouble with John Starr. q white man, in front of the womars s house. about 10 o'clock and he said he expected the trouble to be renewed.
 At the police station Jones said that he knew Starr had said he would kill him and he wanted to be cautious.
 T took my gun out of my pocket. said Jones. and dropped 1t on the floor of the porch. It went off accidentally left 1t lying where 1t fell and went out on the sidewalk. As soon as got close to Starr. he pulled a long knife out of his pocket and made a lunge al me. I ran up on the porch. picked ur my pistol and shot at him three times When I shot. he ran, crying to me .ha; he was going to get gun and would be back. l thought l was shooting al Starr. and I am sorry I wounded Mr Brantiey."
 After the shooting at Starr, Jones went to a telephone in the house and rallied up Sergeant Smith at police head quarters and told him what had hap. pened. He told the Sergeant that Starr had gone away to get a pistol. and tha' if he returned. he was going to hur' him.
 Patrolmen swearingen and Partir were Immediately despatched to tht further trouble. Before the officers had arrived. however, the shooting o' Brantiey occurred.
 Some time after Starr's departurt from the house, Jones says a friend oi his telephoned to him that Starr wal trying to buy a pistol, and when Brant' ley, who is about the same size as Starr and who was dressed much like him even to the same shape of Panama hat started up the steps with his hands 1T his pockets, Jones says he thought tha' the stranger was his enemy. Someon' < shouted to him, There he is" and ht tmmediately began firing.
 The wounded man was removed to St Margarets Hospital, where, at an early hour this morning, he was restint baSlty
