hatchway?p
II was explained that the powder
comes up from the handling room on a
carriage, which comes through hatch
way that closes automatically as soon as
the carriage is through.
When firing against time as the gun
crew in the aft superimposed turret was
doing on the fatal morning, seconds

bags OF powder the moment he can reach
them, and before the hoist or carriage has
come into place I'm the turret and the
shutter has closed behind II.
The unknown hero thought that the
shutter had not been closed. and that the
flames might ignite the powder In the
magazine and send the Georgia TO the
bottom with all on board.
Therefore he sprang directly into that
inferno OF flame and noxious gases and
sacrificed his life for his shipmates
The officers told that the hatchway
closed automatically. but whether IL had
closed or not, the unknown hero's inten-
tions were the same, and they were very
anxious to discover his identity.

OPINION OF EXPERT.
A well-known expert said yesterday:
II should not put much faith In the
theory that spark from one OF the
Georgias stacks dropped down the open

the powder bag. The Georgia was not
running under forced draught and the
percentage of cinders or sparks coming
from the stacks would be very small.

But in no instance did / ever feel one

What happened In the turret was un-
doubtedly this: The men were attempt
ing to make a record for fast firing; they
had fired nine shots and were hustlhg TO

usually obtained with the five and six
inch guns, which use only cartridge form

the use OF the newly-nvented injector.

DEATH IN SIGHT
OF HUNDREDS

In the sight OF hundreds OF persons
who were unable TO prevent his crazy
| deed. Alexander Anderson, while suf-
| fering from tremens. jumped TO his
death from the fourth story OF the
Perry house into Washington square
Newport about 4 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. He died at 5:30 o'clock.
That Anderson had been hanging
out OF a window OF the hotel for a
long time did not attract particular at
tention until about 20 minutes before
he jumped. When he was first seen
an effort was made TO get him TO re-
enter his room, but at that time he
said that IL anyone came I'm his room
he would jump. Those who knew the
condition OF the man or observed him
for a few moments believed that he
would do as he said.
He was on the top floor OF the
house. The windows are dormers, with
a little. narrow gutter running along
below them Anderson had one foot
in the gutter, while the other was
inside the window. and with one hand
he held on TO the casing. He kept
vigilant to see IL anyone was coming
over the roof or through the room
after him.
Several policemen soon arrived II
was decided that the only way was
TO make an advance from the front.
The nre department was called and
Truck ! and the crew from Chemical
soon arrived. An extension ladder
was being raised, when Anderson
jumped and landed at the feet OF the
firemen.
He had carefully watched the move
ments of the iremen and as they had
the ladder on one end he jumped Pa
trolman Schneider had just burst into
the room when he jumped.
All around the square stood men,
women and children, several hundred
OF them, with eyes upturned TO the
window.
After he had struck the ground will
ing hands picked him up and carried
him to Curley's drug store. where he
was given immediate attention. When
the ambulance arrived at the hospital
he showed much vitality. and an ex-
animation showed a compound frac-
ture OF the right arm, fracture of the
pelvis and several ribs and internal
injuries.
Anderson had been drinking heavily
for some time. On July 8 he is alleged
TO have assaulted his wife at his home,
and the Middletown constables were
called to arrest him. His trial on that
case was to have come up Friday. His
wife. after the assault took her two
children and went to her former home
in Boston.
