Contrasts Them With Same
Class in Foreign NavieS,
! RUETERDAHL CRITICISM
PRONOUNCED RIDICULOUS
Veteran Urges DeSirabiIity of
Keeping 13-Inch Gun Re-
Gently Replaced by Those of
Smaller CaIibre.


kby morning 11tfiht haHhbcu WhCt
New York, Dec. l4.-That the lat
est battleships built by this country
are vastly superior 10 England $
Dreadnought is omphatically stated
by Rear Admiral Robley y. Evans in
a magazine article, wherein he strong
ly defends the American navy ana re-
plies to criticisms of it made some
time ago by Henry Rueter9ahl and
others.
Il do not for a moment claim that
the Indiana and her sister ships are
equal to the Dreadnought of the
English navy" sayse Admiral Evans,
"only that she is the equal of the Eng
lish ships designed at the same time.
But | do claim that our latest ships
are vastly superior o the Dreadnought
and / believe that every lighting man
who has given the subject intelligent
consideration Will agree with me
Admiral Evans urges the superiority
of the 13-inch gun over the l2-inch
gun and asserts that the change to
the lesser calihre to conform to Eng
lands type was a most serious blum
der. This is chargeable, he says, TO
the sea going officM of the navy ana
nst 90 ers staG corl4 f,tsoI dlh8 the
water line armor belt he says
II am sure. after many weeks Of
close observation that the lower edge
of the armor belt is too high rather
than too low"
1t had been strenuously contended
by critics that the low location of the
belt was a vital point of weakness.
"As the upper edge of the belt is
always even with or above the level
Of the protective belt" continues Ad-
miral Evans, the danger to be APP
pretended from projectle penetrat-
ing above the belt, beyond the wreck
ing effect OF such projectile, is that
due to the amount of water that may
enter the hole. 1t is the damage that
may be done by such prcjecties enter
ing below that may cause the destruc-
ton of the ship-One projectle so
placed may cause the ship To sink by
explosion of the magazines or boilers,
but this Is improbable. 1t viii require
many 12-inch shells on the water line
or in any other place to disable or
sink such a ship if the officers and
men know their business and want to
night"
Admiral Evans declares the state
ment that a wound on turrct may
disable that turrets guns" is absolute
ly inaccurate unless 10y wound pene-
tration is meant
"Of all the Inaccurate and mislead-
ing statements in this wonderful Reu-
terdahl criticism" he continues, "th,
most incorrect is that the battleships
OF the United States are i'm exactly the
same condition as We're the Russian
ships after the RussO-Japanese fight
in the sea of Japan not temporarily
but permanently.
Il assert" continues the admiral
that the battleships of the United
States never was, never can be OF
never will be in the condition of that
Russian battleship when it went into
battle the last time"

SIX JURORS SECURED
TO TRY 7, JENKINS HAMS

Flushing. n. Y, Dec. IA. - When
court adjourned tonight after two
long sessions consumed in examina-
tions of talesmen, six jurors sat In
the jury box to try Thornton J Hams
author. on charges of being an acces-
sorry in the killing of William T.. An
ais, shot down at the Bayside Yacht
club, last summer. by Captain peter
c. HainS. Jr
The difficulty Of securing a jury,
because of opinions formed early be-
came apparent and Justice Crane de
eided that a night session be held
The court hopes that the trial may bC
concluded by the end of the week.
The questioning of talesmen by
Hams counsel indicated that the de-
fense will be based principally on the
proposition that Thornton, fearing his
brothers life was in jeopardy from the
crowd at the club house. drew his re-
volver and held the crowd back, His
act was one of defense, and not of
offense, according to his counsel
John NJ. Mcintyre counsel for
Hains. announced that Hams would
take the stand in his own defense. He
likely will tell of the events at Fort
Hamilton which led to the separation
of Captain Hams and his wife and
to the tragedy Mr.. Mcintyre will al
so offer in evidence the alleged CON
fession made by Mrs. Claudia Hams
to her husband.
Counsel for the defense We're sub
poenaed by District Attorney Darrin
tonight to appear as witnesses in the
case. Mr.. Shay of Hams counsel said
Mr.. Darrin desired to secure certain
letters written by Thornton J. Hains
to Captain Hains last spring, asking
him to return from the Philippine Is
lands

TARIFF HEARING TO
SIT THROUGH
HOLIDAYS
Commission to Hear Promi-
nent Steel Men Before Re-
porting Schedule Affecting
This Industry,



Washington. Dec. 14.-In drafting
the new tariff bill to be introduced
at the special session of congress the
house ways and means committee is
to give special consideration to the
steel schedule Charles NJ. Schwab, the
steel magnate. will appear before the
committee tomorrow. Andrew Car
negie. who has been subpoenaed, will
not appear until other steel men, in
cluding Henry C. Frick, Of Pittsburg,
and Judge +. II. Gary have testified
before the committee.
The republican members of the
committee who will draft the new tar
iff bill, will sit as subcommittee for
fthis purpose every day after Monday
during the Christmas recess. 1t is the
desire of the committee to have all
the testimony before it as soon as pos
sible but wherever it is found that the
testimony has been insufficient, 1t is
proposed to call those manufacturers
before it who can give the desired in
formation.
When the majority members Of the
committee complete their bill they
will submit it to the democratic mem
bers. The latter viii offer the house
a minority report unless the bill re-
ported by the republicans provides for
the reductions that the democrats
favor The main differences of opin-
ion probably will be on the lumber
metal and paper schedules. Champ
Clark. the minority leader of the
house. has brought out much impor-
tant testimony in his examination OF
witnesses on the lumber and steel
schedules and he favors material
reduction in the duties.
Two hearings were held by the COM
mittee today. one witness appearing
at each. At the afternoon hearing
Colonel Joseph W Allison. cotton
seed oil manufacturer OF Texas. asked
for a reduction in the duty on press
