CAPTAIN FTsKE's TESTIMONY.
Captain Ffske testified that he had had little
experience that would qualify him to comment
on the question of the proper water line and the
turrets.
Ye; you might be put in command Of a ship"
said Senator Tillman.
Later Mr. Tilrian said that the witness had
never been in battle to which Captain F'fske
replied that he had overlooked the battle of
Manila.
''Oh. that was a murder" retorted Mr. Till
man.
1T didn't look that way before it began" re-
piled the witness
Mr.. Tilman referred to q statement made
earlier in the day that the navy did not give en-
couragemerit 20 inventors it might profitably
do and Captain Fiske replied that the inventor
is not distinctly encouraged"
, why not?'' asked Senator Burrows. rs the
department responsible?''
Il do not think 1t is the Navy Department. -
Captain Fiske replied. Il think it is the people
who compose the navy
Reading from article written by Captain
Fske to the effect that no improvement in the
navy had ever been originated by a naval
officer. Mr.. Tillman asked if he held to that
statement.
Captain Fiskc deliberated for a long time. Il
do not think of any instance in which they have
done So" he finally replied. He had heard that
Hitchcock had been Obliged to go to England
before he could get his inventions recognized.
Senator Perkins said Captain Fislse's aper re-
minded him of the Bible-it was a very fine
literary production but anything could be
proved by il. He added, that as Congress ap-
propriated S1000o annually for experimental
tests he was surprised that they had not re-
suited in some inventive idea.
But insisted Senator Tillman. IF find
outside talent and cannot recognize 1t. what car
be expected"
Admiral Cepps remarked that there seemed
TO be woful lack Of knowledge among officers
concerning what had been done develop i'm
provements in the navy.
Captain Fiske said he could suggest no i'm
provements remedy difficulties that had been
pointed out
1t agreed that Lieutenant Comma nder
Sims should appear before the committee or
Monday.
