at this place, and Major r. p. Howell
of Iowa City, have received patent
on new camp stove upon which they
have been working over two years. 1t
is much superior ITO the old stove in
many respects, being very much lighter
in weight and thus effecting a great
saving in transportation. 1t was used
at the maneuvers about Des Modnes
last August, and was approved by the
officers of the regular army present.
1T is now in general use thr-uout the
Iowa National guard. A notable
feature Of the coming commencement
will be the reunion of the engineering
students of the university, and a large
home coming is expected. Four years
ago there were only about seventy stu
dents in the school Of applied science.
while this year the total registration
was 249. A teaching fore Of perhaps
fifteen has increased in four years to
ffty-eix, seven having been added the

equally great growth in equipment.

LIEUT.. COM. SIMS,
Who Has Been Accused of Criticising
the Navy.
Direct Ammunition Hoist
Is the Best, He
Declares.

Rear Admiral y. E. Mason. CHIEF OF
the Bureau OF Ordnance Of the Navy
Department, was before the Senate Ma
val Affairs Committee for a half hour
this morning. and. like the officers who
have preceded him, Rear Admiral Con-
verse and Admiral Capps, he assailed
the conclusions reached by Henry Reu-
terdahl in his recent article alleging in
ferior battleship construction.
Rear Admiral Mason dealt particu-
uarly with the safety Of the ammuni-
tion hoist and with the turreu construc-
ton. He defended the policy OF the
department in respect to these matters,
and declared in emphatic terms that
with reference to them the varships OF
the American navy We're the equals Of
the vessels in the navy Of any other
power.
Rear Admiral Mason said that every
precaution had been taken to prevent
fiare-backs and TO make the ammun{-
ton hoist safe. He was questioned by
Senator Tilman as TO whether there
were any emerge ncy hOists and ap-
pliances as in foF eign navies. Rear Ad-
miral Mason admitted there were no
emergency hoists, and that he consider
ed it unfortunate that there was no
room in the turret for them.
Favors Direct Hoist.
It was IN this connection that he
said the turret construction and the
devices for hosting ammunition in the
American ships were as good as any
in other navies. He pointed out that the
British had 1SS direct .hoists and sixty
six interrupted hoists. The japanese
followed the English, and the French
had direct hoists like those IN the
United States navy.
Senator Tiuman insisted on knowing
more about the emergency arrange
ments for hoistng ammunition. Rear
Admiral Mason said there We're aDpli-
ances for this purpose. consisting Of
cables TO be used in case the hoistlng
cables broke. but that so much time
would he required TO adjust these emer-
geney cables a sto make them almost
useless in a great emergency, where
speed was required. He added that
sometimes the electric power failed and
hosting was interrupted
Senator Hale asked the direct ques-
ton. whether the witness considered
emergency hOists necessary. The rear
admiral said he did not He said that
two stage hoists have been provided for
