INTELLIGENT CRITICISM WELCOME.
But Rear Admiral Capps Objects to That
Based on Misinformation.

washington. Jan 22.-Rear Admiral Capps
chief Of the bureau of construction Of the navy,
appeared to-day before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs and followed up his statements of
Yesterday in refutation of published criticisms
and charges against methods used by the bureau
Of construction in the building of battleships
He discussed especially matters pertaining to
freeboard, turret ports and waterline construc-
tion.
admiral capps said that intelligent criticism is
always welcomed by technical experts and has
a beneficial effect, but that criticism founded on
ynisinformation is creative of nothing but public
distrust He said that in the main the articles
which have been published in newspapers and
magazines condemnatory Of naval methods OF
construction in this country and in Great Britain
have been founded on misnformation.
Touching the charge that turret ports are
made so large that when a vessel is proceeding
at full speed bow waves come aboard through
them and food the handling room, Admiral Capps
said this criticism is just in far it applies
10 the battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky. de-
signed ia 1899, but that since then the size of
turret ports has been reduced and this fault OBJ
waited The reduction in the size has been made
possible by perfecting of trunnions The
modern trunnion used in the construction Of
warships enables the placing Of the gun closer
to the vessels side, thereby reducing the port
snace necessary to the raising and lowering of the
gun in obtaining range.
Before entering upon to-days discussion Ad-
miraI Capps Informed Chairman Foss that he
would not feel liberty to follow up his state
rnents Of yesterday except on the understanding
that newspaper men should be excluded from the
committee room as they were Yesterday He in
timated that he unwilling to dignity the
published charges against the bureau of con-
struction by seeming to defend them officially
before the committee. He is preparing. and the
bureau will presently publish. official state
ment covering all of the details involved in these
charges.

ELIMINATING UNINTEL-
LIGENT COMPETITION

The elimination OF unintelligent
competition is the first thought OF the
manufacturer who begins to see bene-
fits Of a scientific cost system. Many
such manufacturers are now using
their efforts to influence their compe-
titors to install cost systems which
their experience has taught them TO
be OF vital necessity to continued sue
cess. With a uniform system of igur-
ing factory costs the bushes OF manu-
facturers would depend more upon
production economy and individual
ty in design and construction than
upon sacrificed profits. The antici-
pated economy resulting from an in
creased volume OF business often
causes sacrifice OF profits to be made
as compared with those shown by
past statistics OF the business to be
necessary. An increased production
along certain lines and up TO GER
tain point means reduced lines and !
the limit? The effect upon production
costs OF the acceptance OF such busi-
ness is subject to scientific solution
but the factors are many and great
care must be exercised or costs will
increase. The penalty OF success must
be guarded against. The crowding out
Of small orders with big profits must
not be overlooked and the constant
stream of such orders must be COM
pared with the occasional big order

China, it degrades the people. The
profits in production, for everybody

the strong hand OF the law has often,
