fore Committee.
 Washington. Feb. 26--Rear Admiral Washington Lee Capps, Chief Con- structor of the Navy, today, before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, re- piled to the magazine article written bv Henry Reuterdahl in criticism of the construction of American battle shios.
 The Admiral asserted that the Amer ican ships are the equal of ships of any navy of the world. The most se- rious charges made, he said, were of insufficient freeboard, meaning height from water line to deck: insufficient gun height, and improper location of main line armor belts. and all these. he explained. have been the subject of the closest study and experiment for many years by naval designers of ev- cry country. Admiral Capps character ized as exploded" the theory that if a shell penetrated the armor plate at a slight incline, 1t would be dehected up. deck.
 '.AIl efforts. he added, should be d. rected toward keeping the shell out; all the armor should be put on the ship in vertical form.''
 "Put it all on the other side" fe- marked Mir. Tillman. Exactly for if a shell goes through eleven inches of 6AAAtOAg ~ WAAA G4QAOuG any way Ine protected deck would not be a protect ion at all" @The Admiral said the fact that in the Dreadnaught class in Great Britain and the Delaware class in the United States, the forward free board has been made one deck higher than the previous class, does not Indicate that the latter was too low.
 "They are just right for theIr type. '' he said. "The Delaware is made high forward because she ie designed on finer lines, much longer and for greater speed, which, of course, casts the spray higher. No increase has been made in the free board at the bow"
 He stated that during the five hours of the firing in the fight of the Sea of Japan, the rapidity of firing from the guns of the Japanese vessels was only one-fourth of that maintained by the American Navy during recent tar get practices.

RuaslMn Oaleer Preferred Death T
 puhife Court Martial.


 St. Petersburg, Feb. News has been received here from Vladivostok Of the suicide of Captain G1iezan, com nander of the Russian cruiser Aslkold, who was about to face trial by court martial on the charge of not having acted with energy in suppressing the naval t1intily at Vladivostok the last Of October. 1907.
 II appears that Captain Glezian faced an sncipient mutfny on board the Askold at the same time that the men on board the torpedo boat destroyer Skory rebelled. Instead of dealing sternly with tre ringleaders of the movement on the cruiser, Captain Glezian negotiated with his crew with the result that the AskoId took no part in the fighting which followed be- tween loyal and rebellious ships.
 Giiezan left a letter declaring that an attempt to use force on his part would have precipitated a general snutiny and that the hoisting of a red flag on the Askold. the largest vessel in port. would have added greatly to the prestige of the mutineers on every ship at Vladivostok.

FOR A NEW X. S. A. G. HEAD.
The Choice Has Been Left to a Com
mittee of Three Regents.

Manhattan, Kan, April IA COM
mittee composed of three members
of the board Of regents of the Kansas
state agricultural college has been
appointed to select a successor to
President E. r. Nichols. AS Presi-
dent Nichols's resignation does not
take effect until July 1. 1909, the re-
gents have ample time to fl the exc
cutive chair of the college. The re-
gents seem determined to find the
right man. Judge Story. president of
the board, when interviewed, said:
'You may say that a committee of
three regents has been appointed to
select a successor to President Mich
OILS. We are going to look for the
are not going to consider a few dol
lars in securing him."
1t also comes from an authentic
source that none of the faculty men,
bers of the college will be selected to
fill the vacancy. The different opin-
ricultural college should be undoubt-
eddy will figure materially in the Sc
lection of new president. Some be-
lieve that the primary object of the
school should be the teaching of agrf-
culture. others that it should be that
a great university with its primary
object the teaching of all the indus
trial and mechanical arts. President
Nichols is a firm believer in the latter
view and has worked to develop such
a school here.
No announcements have been made
as 70 wE'r the probable successor will

state boe-- of agriculture and an ex-
regent of the school, has recommend
ed Eugene Davenport, dean of the
college of agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Illinois. Secretary Coburn is
taking considerable interest in the Sc
lection of a new head for the college
and it is the opinion here that his rec
ommendation will be considered IA
vorably by the regents. Dean Daven-
