NAVAL EXPERTS TO CONVENE
WILL SUGGEST SAFEGUARDS FOR
WORK IN TURRETs.
Means to Be Adopted to Prevent Rep
etition Of Disasters Like That on
the Battleship Georgia.

Immedia tely on his return to Washington
from Oyster Bay. where he talked over the
matter with President Roosevelt. Acting
Secretary Newberry of the navy took steps
to carry out the plan agreed on between
them for the converting of board of naval
experts to thoroughly investigate turret
construction and operation. with a view to
the adoption of means to prevent II possible
repetition Of disasters such as befell the
battleship Georgia several weeks ago. Sew
eral such disasters have occurred on naval
vessels In recent years. This board. Mr..
Newberry says. is to be composed Of men
who have used or are users of the turrets;
that Is. men of actual experience in turret
work. Officials of the department are now
at work preparing list of names from
which the selections are to be made. The
acting secretary pointed out 1t was not to
be the duty of this board to review the find
1ngs OF that which Investigated the accident
aboard the Georgia. Its work would be to
look to the future, to make thorough
examination into the whole question with q
view to making such recommendations as
Will provide every possible safeguard
against explosions, or other similar acci-
dents.
Recommendations Advanced.
Among the recommendations made by the
board Of officers which investigated the ac-
cident on the Georgia were the following:
The introduction int the handling room
where the ammunition remains after being
taken from the magazine until its deposit
into the hoists to be sent to the turret Of
an automatic spraying apparatus SO that in
the case of any emergency the powder then
IN the room may be quickly wet by merely
turning on a lever.
A change in the drill regulations where
by no powder is to be brought into the
turret during the firing until word has been
received that the bore of a gun Is clear
Of all residue from the last shot.
An Improvement of the automatic shut
tiers which separate the turrets from the
handling room below with the object in
view of preventing by all possible means
the falling Of any sparks through any crew.
ices in the construction work.
Naturally these recommendations will be
taken up and considered by the new board
that is to be appointed. the members of
which are expected to go into q most thor

WHERE THEY SLIPPED UP.

During the contest over the okla- homas Constitutions there was great deal said about prohibition. It was claimed and asserted that the Consti- tuition not only prohibited the making. selling and giving away of liquors but that it also prohibited the bringing of any kind of intoxicants into the State. Now 1t is shown by the opinions of the best lawyers that there is no such pro- vision in the instrument as that last mentioned. Tn the words of promi- nent lawyer. "A man can ship any quantity of liquor into the new State for his own use. There is absolutely no law against introducing it from other States"
 This knocks wide path through the evident intention of the constitu- tion-makers. The intention was to ab- solutely prevent all kinds of intoxi- cants being shipped into Oklahoma by railroads or otherwise, the claim being made that the Indian citizens suffered seriously from the use of liquors. and 1t was thought best to prevent any coming into the State. It is possible that when the State government is or- ganized. and the Legislature meets, that body may enact laws that will do what the Constitution was intended to do. We do rot know that there is any provision in the latter instrument to prevent the Legislature from pass ing such laws. and that body may do 20 at its first session. or it may not. That is for the future to decide; me main point now apparent being that the extreme prohibitionists slipped up.
