DELAY RLAREBACK
CAUSED ACCIDENT
Navy Department Receives
Report of Board Of Ex-
animation of the
Georgia.
AIR BLAST WAS
SHUT TOO SOON
First Section of Charge in
Second Leaders Arms
Was First Ig-
nited.

Washington, July 19.-By a process of
elimination the naval board which has
been investigating the accident where
by the men in the turret of the battle-
ship Georgia lost their lives has arrived
at the conclusion that delayed flare
back caused the catastrophe. In one
sense the verdict is received with dis
tinct sense of relief by naval officers be-
cause it shows that they had none of
the elements of the danger to contend
with. They had experienced flare
backs" before and thought that they
knew how to deal with them.
A delayed flare back is caused by
closing off too soon the blast of COM
pressed air which is supposed to expel
from the bore of the gun the unburnt
gases and fragments Of smouldering
powder covering what might be left
from the last discharge. After the ter
rible accident in the Missouri's turret
three years ago, resulting in the loss
Of over thirty lives, the experts having
| decided that that accident was caused
by the ignition of the new charge by the
unburnt gases and smoulderlng cart
ridge cloth of the preceding charge, the
ordnance bureau caused to be fitted to
the breach Of each Of the great guns an
air blast apparatus to expel by COM
pressed air any gas or cloth that might
remain in the bare of the gun. So far
this has worked well and there have
been no flare backs" since the device
was installed.
In the case of the Georgia's. S-inch
| gun, the breach Of the gun was thrown
open and the air blast turned in at a
pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch. This is sufficient for all ordinary
purposes with the important qualifica-
ton that it should be continued long
enough to drive the last remnant Of gas
Or cloth from the gun bore, In this
case the gases or smouldering cloths
| (Which, is not known here), We're drivs
en- probably more than half way to the
muzzle Of the gun when the air blast
was turned off. The Georgia was
steaming at ten knots into the wind
which blew into the muzzle Of the gun
The unexpected gases or cloths were
driven back by the breeze into the
! breech of the gun and out upon the
powder charge (which was just about
to be inserted. The explosion which
followed was inevitable. The cause 81
this accident therefore, viii without
doubt be held down to the ambition q
the gunners to make record practict
in point of speed. Had the air BIAS
been kept on foraa second longer IN al
probability the accident would hav'
been averted. Three shots from an s
inch gun in a turret In two minutes il
record practice and there is reason i
believe that Lieutenant Goodrichs' tur

Old SLAUGHTER WOODS
FOR A REALTY PARK
New York Corporation Will
Arrange 1t Into Build
ing Lots.

Charles 7. Young of this city yester-
day filed his final account in the pro-
bate court as administrator of the es-
tate of the late John j. Stuckwell of
Brooklyn, n. Y. Mr.. Stuckwell was
the owner of what is popularity known
as the Slaughter house woods, a large
tract of land lying near the junction of
COTE and Norton streets. There is a
large amount of standing timber on
this land and the remains of an old
slaughter house which figured largely
in the local beef business before the
days of refrigerator cars and western
beef 1t has not been used for slaugh-
tering for many years.
The tract of land has been sold by
the administrator to a New York COR
poratlon who will cut it up into build
ing lots and improve it as a residential
park. Broad streets will be laid out and
the property will be fully developed as
an investment. The New York COM
pany paid $4,000 for the property.
