USE TONS OF AMMUNITION
Target Practice Is Progressing
and Records Being Made

SAN DIEGO, March 24.-Wireless re-
ports from Magdalena bay tell of rapid
progress being made by the 16 battle
ships of Admiral Evans command to-
ward the completion of their record
target practice. All of the firing so
far has been at range of 1000 yards.
or just short of one mile. The firing
also has been confined to stationary
targets, and 1t is not now believed that
there will be change either of range
or character of targets during the re-
mainder of the practice.
The practice has been under way for
more than 10 days and the firing has
been constant, Sundays not being ex-
cluded in the rush to finish as early as
possible. Another 10 days, it is be-
lieved, will see the conclusion of the
range work, and then will follow a
period of coaling and cleaning up for
the fetes that await the ships along the
hospitable shores of California.
According to present plans, as an
nounced by Admiral Evans. the fleet
will leave Magdalena bay at daylight
on the morning of April IL. The steam
ing speed will be raised to II knots
on the run to San Diego to bring the
fleet to anchor off Coronado beach at
2:s0 p. m. April IA. 1t will take some
time for the fleet ordnance officer, Lieu
tenant Commander Ridley Mclean of
Admiral Evans personal staff, to pre-
pare the individual and avearge records
and 1t may be that the reports will not
go east until after the arrival of the
fleet off this port Splendid records are
looked for, however.

Ing done at Magdalena bay can be

STILL IN SUSPENSE

STANFORD UNIVERSITY March 25.
The suspense of the students who took
part in the parade that created the
present crisis will be broken tomor-
row morning. Such was the statement
of Professor Clark. chairman of the
students affairs committee, tonight,
following the conclusion of the inves-
legations.
While no move was made by either
side today the anxiety of the students
over. the outcome was unabated. Just
what action the faculty committee has
taken in the cases of the 247 signers
of the petition for the reinstatement
of the II men suspended 10 days ago
is not known. Should small number
be selected and treated as the IL were
walkout of students probably will
be decided upon.
Clark's announcement that the de-
cision of the committee would be pub
lished tomorrow relieved the students,
as 1t was believed that the faculty in
tended to employ Fabian methods and
delay final action until the spring
recess. This is due Friday and will
last all of next week. The issue would
be greatly weakened by such a lapse
of time

sence This is significant, for should
the committee take radical action, as is
expected by the students. the partici-
pants in the general strike. which has
many exponents, would obtain such
honorable dismissals or leaves.
president David Starr Jordan still
refuses to take any part in the issue,
and dismissed all interviewers today.
Jordan will be petitioned by the men
who We're dropped In case their hopes
are not encouraged by the faculty
committee. The papers have been
drawn and conform with all rules in
the university regulations.
Last night the student representa-
t1ves, who on former occasions have
interviewed the faculty, met to deter
mine what action should be taken by
the student body, but aside from the
general strike no move was suggested
which appeaeed- feasible.
