TURRETS ARE DEATH TRAPS
Construction Battleships All Wrong and American
Boys Enlisting in Navy Go Forth to Battle.

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
Criticism of the gravest sort is now
being made against the turret OF
the American battleship.
Experts now declare that the
whole construction is menace to
life and TO the floating forts, every
one of which cost the nation mill
lions of dollars.
According to these criticisms, a
boy enlisting in the navy goes forth
as to battle, with many chances OF
death in time of peace.
Indeed. the statement is made,
and to the lay mind proved, that
our naval contractors are 100 years
behind the times
The turrets and magazines of all
our battlesbips are constructed on
the principle of the elevator shaft,
the ammunition hoist running
straight up from the handling room
beneath the turret.
In case of fire in the upper tur-
ret there is nothing except make
shift shutter to prevent sparks or
burning grains of powder from fall
ing into the handling rooms below
the magazines. The accident upon
the Georgia occurred in that man.
ner, and nothing but the selfsacri-
ficing spirit of American seamen
has prevented several of our ships
from being destroyed.
This method of construction is
peculiar to the United States navy.
The sailing ships of Nelson's fleet,
100 years ago, had powder hatch
in the rear of each row of guns on

Special Correspondence to The Rresa
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 13.-
Having finally awakened to the I'M
prepared condition of the Pacific
coast, in event of hostilities with
Japan or any other power striking
from that direction, the navy de-
partment has appointed a board to
consider available sites for naval
bases.
Of this board two members, Ad-
miral w. l.. Caps, chief of the
bureau of construction and repair,
and Admiral w. S. Cowles, of the
general board, are already on their
way, while the third member, Rear
Admiral r. c. Hollyday; is to start
west in a few days.
AS already stated in these dis
patches, the government is consid-
ering several possible locations on
the southern part of the Pacific
front for this purpose. San Diego
is possible location, and secret
negotiations are under way with
Mexico for a permanent lease ,sof
Magdalena bay on the west shore
of Lower California The board
will also consider Strengthening the
base at San Francisco and adding
to its docking facilities.
AS chief of the bureau of yards
and docks Admiral Hollyday is
chiefly concerned with the docking
question. He intends to look into
the matter of the failure of the firm
of contractors to complete the Mare
Island dock, which was started sew
en- years ago, and he will look for
available sites for other docks. The
greatest need is for docks which
will be convenient to ships coming
through the Panama canal,
Admiral Capps and Admiral
Cowles are interested in the loca-
ton of coaling stations and repair
shops, as well as the proper forti-
fication of any site chosen for a
base. The board will probably ex-
tend it's trip to Hawaii to look into
the question of a coaling station
there.
