TETER FOR ROOSEVELT
DeIegate-at-Laree Will Join General
Curtin in Voting For President
Roosevelt.

Philippi, w. Va, May 27.-This
pretty mountain town, which holds a
place in history because the first bat.
tie of the civil war was fought here,
may figure further and larger in
American history should the move
ment started by one of its most prom
inent citizens result in the nomination
OF Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago
next month.
Hon. Charles f. Teter, who is one
OF West Virginia's Big Four" all Of
whom are instructed for Secretary
Taft, has announced that he has son-
Guided that the people OF the country
want Roosevelt and no one else. and
having reached such a conclusion he
announces that he will cast his vote
for Roosevelt
The political and business situa-
tion Of this country demand the re-
nomination and election of President
Roosevelt" said Mr.. Teter Sentiment
everywhere 10 overwhelming for him,
and there is no sincere and genuine
sentiment for the nomination OF any.
body else. II Is so IN this state. AL
though instructions Were given for
Taft it was a Roosevelt sentiment that
did it. Taft sentiment here, as every
where is merely reflection from
Roosevelt. In taking the position !.
do honestly believe that the ,epubli-
cans OF West Virginia will endorse my
action. If there Is chance to nom
mate Roosevelt know that they
would want their delegates to avail
themselves OF it. Hence they will ap-
prove anything that Is done Whereby
that chance or opportunity can be Gre
ated.
The people of this country want
the Roosevelt policies to be eontin-
ued and they regard Roosevelt as the
best man known to do the job. If It
were known now that Roosevelt
would be nominated at Chicago you
would zee business get better and in
drstrial prosperity start up again. 1t
is the uncertainty of what will be the
outcome-rncertainty as to who will
be the nominee and who will win next
fall-that is responsible for whatever
business depression exists. With
Roosevelt nominated this would dis
appear. HIS policies are established,
his election would be assured beyond
question and confidence everywhere
would be firmly established.
Mr.. Teter added significantly that
he had deard chat several of the other
members Of the delegation felt as
he did with reference to boiling the
instructions ard voting for Roosevelt.
Mr.. Teter is one of West Virginia's
big republican leaders and his declar-
ton of how he intends to vote in the
Chicago convention is decidedly sig
nifiicant to the policies of this state
and highly important to Republican
national policies as well under the
circumstances. Gen. Curtin one OF
the big four has announced for
Roosevelt.

BENEFIT IN CHICKEN RAISING.
Leads to Development of Brotherly
Love, According to Writer.

IF you want to give me real pleas
ure," said the genial man, lust set
me down among a group of amateur
chicken raisers. Their conversation
is a study in brotherly love. More
than any other set of people they are
willing, even anxious, to help each
other. Professional men and men en-
gagged in the trades do not. when talk
ing together, sound the note of mutual
helpfulness. Each man keeps his
secrets of success to himself Now
and then one may drop a hint that
may by chance prove valuable to his
hearers, but he doesn't mean to do
even that, because the rule is for
each to work out his own salvation.
Amateur chicken faisers, on the
other hand. are inspiring examples of
altruism. When one discovers a new
cure for the pip he hastens to spread
the information among his friends and
neighbors who are also wrestling with
the pip proposition. If another man
hits upon new idea in feeding or
Matching he never rests till he gives
his brother chicken raisers a chance
to profit by his discovery Commu-
tiers who live in a chicken raising com
munity exhibit a friendliness of spirit
that is foreign to commuters from
chickenless neighborhoods. They
have their incubators, the relative
value of different breeds Of fowls, and
the possibility of premiums at the
next county fair to talk about. and so
cultivate spirit of kindly courtesy
unknown to persons engaged in ether
pursuits"

Experiments with CrinoIine Nets.
The experiments to determine the
possible usefulness of crinoline nets
against torpedo-boat attacks have not
yet been undertaken 1t is difficult to
see how these can fail to harm the I'M
derwater section of the monitor, but
assurance is given that they will be
conducted in such a way as not to in
jure the hull. The test which involved
the turret and its mechanism in
f1icted no great injury, owing to the
reduced charges which were used in
the 12-inch guns of the monitor which
did the firing. In fact, complains one
critic: What is called in some quar-
tiers the shooting up of the monitor
Florida appears to have been ginger
ly graduated experiment to prove that
her turret armament was shell-proof
and her system of fire control invul-
nerable"
This was vastly different from the
ordeal to which the British Hero was
subjected. One witness of the expert
ment says: 1.-The first six shots were
all misses, and although sparks began
to fly from the Hero as soon as the
range was found, the shooting was by
no means up to the level of battle
practice. notwithstanding that the
weather conditions were absolutely
perfect-a calm, clear day, with the
sun behind the firing ships. Very soon
the Hero was in the middle of dense
cloud of smoke, through which, now
and again, flashed great tongues of
fire, as shell after shell struck the
helpless old warrior. 1t was soon over,
however, and save for a slight hist to
port there was nothing to show, at
distance, the ordeal through which she
had passed. The funnel and mast
both stood, and very little smoke is
sued from the interior, but a closer in
spection revealed the full extent of
the damage. The upper deck had been
blown up by the explosion of a heavy
shell underneath it, after the coming
tower had been penetrated, and one
of the lay figures had daylight through
his chest. Altogether % hits had
been scored out of 100 rounds"
The United Service Gazette in it's
comment said that here was a ship
fitted with fire-control apparatus
whose maintenance is absolutely es-
sentfal during battle, and here were
ships which hit their target once in
every four rounds; and the whole fire

the target in battle than at target prac-
tice, because at target practice shell
striking the canvas of a target-say
5000 yards away-cannot as a rule be
seen; while a shell exploding against
the side of ship gives out a brilliant
flame.
shells that do not explode cannot
usually be seen; but it may be sug-
gested here that, in the case of armor-
piercing shell, it might not be difficult
to fit a sort of dummy fuse in the nose
of the shell which would explode upon
impact and give out flame Such a
continuance, if found practicable,
would assist very much in fire con-
troll; because, after all, we are very
much more interested in the shots that
hit than in the shots that miss. Fur
thermore, among the shots that miss.
the only ones of which we can take
account are the shots that go short;
and the amount by which they go
short is very difficult to estimate,
whereas the shots that hit are abso-
lutely located Furthermore. if we
count the shots that hit, this does
not prevent us from counting the shots
that go short; which gives us, by an
easy method, the number of shots that
go over. The adoption of a device,
therefore, showing US positively when
shot hits, would be a means of get
ting all the data needed for correcting
the range finders and getting the sight
bar ranges"

range finder, this officer asks what

This is about the extent of any com.
plant that she has ever been known
to make.
My life has been a very pleasant
one. Only the pleasant things are re-
called by me. If there was anything
bad 1t has no place in my memory -
she added, with a smile lighting up
her kindly face.

Gen. Lafayette paid to this country,
and the enthusiastic reception given
to him at Uniontown when he was on
his way over the mountains from

many of the other maiGens who shared
the honors with her, named the posi-

Although the deductions of the adj

Navy has ascertained that the effect
OF the gun fire upon every part of the

six-inch shell burst in the improvised
