INSERT NAVAL PROBE
Question Of Surgeons Commanding
Floating Hospitals Also Up.

Question of Surgeons Commanding
Floating Hospitals Also Up.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S.-
A general discussion among members
of the senate committee on naval af-
fairs indicated that not only the
charges of defects in battleships, but
that also number of the questions
that have attracted public attention,
will be investigated. Among these
will be that of whether staff officers,
such as naval surgeons, shall be
given vessels. This undoubtedly
will result in reopening the contro-
versy between Rear Admiral Brown
son and Surgeon General Rixey,
which was disposed Of by the presi-
dent shortly in his contention that
a surgeon should be given command
OF the hospital ship Relief.
Rear Admiral N, Il. Mason, chief
of the ordnance bureau, explained
to the committee today the workings
OF the turret ammunition hoists from
powder handling rooms to big guns
on modern battleships, His testi-
mony was given with the view of an
swering the criticisms made by Henry
Reuterdahl, who charged that there
was great danger OF accidents with
the straight hoists and open turrets,
and that number Of life destroying
explosions such as those on the Mis-
souri, and Geogria we're caused by
faulty hoists. Admiral Mason denied
this, and by comparisons with ships
of other nations endeavored to show
that American methods are equal to
any.
Chairman Hale asked:
"Then you believe that we have
taken every step that can be taken
to control and prevent this bareback
and that so far as hoists go they are
as safe as can be nader"
Eyes, do" responded the admiral
Admiral Mason said the 12-incl
gun was better than the larger gur
because in order to attain the same
efficiency the larger gun would weigh
fully 13 tons more and that thu
weight could not be allotted.

That was the proviso insisted on BY
President Comiskey, which made the
railroads shy away from the contract.
To carry the baseball party Of about
so people, including players, their
families, club officials, newspaper
representatives and a few rooters,
the special will be made up of six
cars-library, diner, two sleepers,
combination buffet and observation
and a baggage car. In fact, the train
will be a duplicate Of the Golden
State limited, except that it will
carry one car less.
The Sox party will leave Chicago
at 9 O'Clock in the evening from the
LaSalle street station, and will go
via Ell Paso, arriving at Los Angeles
March 3 at Z O'Clock in the evening.
President Comiskey intends max
ing the trip a personally conducted
affair, his plan being to accompany
his players over the whole route.
About 80 players will be taken on
the trip, a large number of pur-
chased and drafted stars being SEIZED
uled to vie with the veteran mem
bers of the team for places on the
regular payroll.
In order to give the youngsters
fair chance to show their mettle they
will be given positions on the second
team along with several of the regu
lars, and will play with separate
list of exhibition games, the master
of the Sox taking charge of tha
squad to get line on the new fel
lows, while Manager Jones goei
along conditioning his veteran play
ers.
The entire squad will be kept to
gether at Los Angeles only loni
enough to give all hands enough
practice to play good bali, and thel
the divisions will be made, the regu
lars being left in the City of Angels
while the recruits hit the trail t
San Francisco.
