Of the gallant ship that made record
during the civil war. 1t was launched
at Newport News in 1898 and soon got
into trouble with the Newport authori-
ties by the accidental discharge of a
shell from gun in the fighting top.
1t went hurtllnR over the peaceful
summer resort city, clipped off the top
Of big tree and ended Its career by
taking a section of stone out of the
Newport city hall. Fortunately no.
body was hit by the stray shot.
Two serious accidents have befallen
the Massachusetts. Jan 16, 1908, when
the ship was off Culebra island, the
discharge of percussion primer while
the gun breech was still open caused
the death of six men. Dec. Is, 1904,
when the same warship was at League
Island navy yard, a gasket blew off
boiler and filled the fire room with
steam, killing three men.
The accident To the Missouri in April
of last year was one of the worst in
the list The vessel was off Pensacola
when 1000 pounds of powder in the
after turret ignited. Five officers who
were in the turret and twenty-four en-
listed men were killed. Flooding of
other magazine rooms near the after
turret prevented further explosions.
One of the officers killed in this acci-
dent was Lieutenant John p. V. Grid
ley, son of Captain Charles V. Gridley,
who commanded the Olympia in the
battle of Manila Bay.
The battleship Iowa has met with
two accidents. of Pensacola in April,
1903, gun burst, killing three and in
juring FIVE. A few days later a steam
pipe in the boiler room burst, and for
a time the ship was helpless, but hap
PLY the results were not serious. Just
ten years ago at New London, Conn.,,
a mishap occurred to the Ericsson, re-
sulting in the death of a number of
the crew.

courageous deeds. He is a native of

COLONEl CLARENGE X. EDWARDS.
by Colonel Edwards which have es-
capped mention in this list, but those
given Indicate that his duties are suf-
ficiently multifarious to keep an ener-
getic man busy. He is considered to
have unusual executive capacity, and
in the growth of the volume of busi-
ness pertaining to The islands over
which the flag of the United States
floats numerous matters have been
turned over to him.
Clarence Ransom Edwards is a ma
tive of Ohio and was born at Cleveland
in 1860. After his graduation from
West Point in 1888 lie was commits
stoned second lieutenant of the Twen-
ty-third infantry, and his first impor-
tant detail was as commandant of the
guard which protected the temporary
tomb of the late James A. Garfield.
He kept watch over the remains of
the dead president until their removal
in 1886 to the splendid mausoleum
where they now repose.
In the Philippine campaign Colonel
Edwards made Il brilliant record. He
participated i'm a dozen battles of more
or less Importance and on account of
gallantry in action was repeatedly rec
commended for brevets for as high rank
as that of brigadier general Colonel
Edwards was Il great favorte with
General Lawton, was with that brave
officer on the firing line when he was
killed and escorted his remains to the
United States. Lawton once said of
Edwards that "he soldiered all day in
the face of the enemy and conducted
executive duties as chief of staff in
his tent all night, for it seemed that
he believed soldier should never
sleep with a task undone." In 1900
Colonel Edwards became chief of what
was then known as the division of in
sular affairs. In 1902 the Importance
of this branch of the war department
was increased by making it bureau.
