BATTLEsH|Ps
ARRANGED IN
ORDER or MERIT

Washington, Dec. 2l.-Careful study OF
the results OF the target practice under
battle conditions held by the Atlantis fleet
last fall has caused the navy department
10 materially rearrange the ships order
of merit as regards proficiency in gun
fire.
The naval experts have changed the
merit list ON the basis not only OF tho
number OF hits. but To certain extent
the rapidlty of hits and the proportionate
weight OF the projectiles. In making pub
lie this new order the department explains
that the comparatively low scores made
by some OF the vessels are accounted for
by the fact that they came on the range
at much greater distance from the tar
get than that assigned 10 them.
As promulgated the merit list. with the
names of the captains OF the ships at the
time of the practice. is as follows:
Georgia Capt II. McCrea, Lieut.. d. w.
Wurtsbaugh. ordinance officer; Connecti-
cut. Capt H. Osterhaus; Virginia. Capt.
s. Schroeder; Pennsylvania, Capt. A.
Ward; Maine Capt G.. B. Harber: Ken
lucky, Capt, Il. b. Barry; West Virginia,
Capt. j. b. Milton; Maryland. Capt c.
Thomas; Alabama. Capt S. p. Comfy;
Kearsarge, Capt. ii. Winslow; Louisiana.
Capt r. Wainwright; Illinois, Capt. G..
Blocklinger; Ohio, Capt L. c. Heilmer;
Rhode Island. Capt J. B. Murdock; New
Jersey. Capt. w. w. Kimban, and Mis-
souri,. Capt G.. A. Merriam.
The comparatively efficiency attained at
night battle practice where the firing was
done exclusively by torpedo defence guns,
at three targets, was as follows: Ken
lucky Kearsarge, Alabama, Louisiana.
West Virginia, Ohio Virginia, Maryland,
Rhode Island, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Maine, Georgia, Connecticut,
Illinois and New Jersey.
The relative standing OF the vessels or
the cruisers, gunboat and torpedo boat
classes has not yet been made out, pe-
cause some vessels i'm each class were
late in firing and their scores have not
yet been received.

The decision upholds all the principal
points in the report OF Referee Arthur II.
Masten. who was appointed by Judge La
coinbe 10 take testimony In suit brought
by the Consolidated Gas company 10 test
the consututionality OF the law. The ref
cree found that the law amounted practi-
cally to conilscation OF the gas company's
property.
Judge Hough practically sustains all the
claims OF the Consolidated Gas company,
holding that both OF the statutes involved,
as well az the order OF the commission OF
gas and electricity ordering the rate into
effect, arc In contravention TO the l4th
amendment 10 the Federal constitution.
