ADMIRAL EVANS
ATTACKS ARMOR BELTS
Too Low and Too Narrow, Says
Fighting Bob"

Washington, d, c. Especially -
Secretary Metcalf made public the
views of Admiral Evans regarding
the location of the armor belt on
battleships, which he has just re-
ceived in a lengthy report from the
Admiral on this and other subjects
connected with the voyage of the At
lontic feet to the Pacific Coast. The
Admiral says:
Judging from the figures con-
tanned in the several replies from
commanding officers which relate to
this subject, it would appear that
better protection might have been af-
forded had those belts been origin
ally placed between six inches and
one foot higher; this on the theory
that the commanding officer would
admit sufficient water before an ac-
tion to sink the belt 20 within about
g inches above the water line. But
even this is open to question, for II
has been noted that even when heavy
laden and in the smooth to moderate
seas, which have thus far character
lied this cruise, the ships frequently
expose their entire belts and the bot
tom plating beneath.
1T must be remembered that even
a five or a six inch shell (of which
there would be a great number)
could infict a severe and dangerous
injury if it struck below the belt,
while otherwise the water line, even
with the belt entirely submerged, is,
on account of the casemate armor
and coal, immune to all except the
heaviest proiectiles.
"The fact is that under the sea
conditions in which battles may be
fought a belt of eight feet in width,
If considered alone, is too narrow to
afford the desired protection, where
ever 1t may be placed, and the ques-
tion becomes an academic discussion,
with certain arguments on each side.
II is understood that on the latest
ships this question is of little import,
as the citadel armor is but one inch
less in thickness than that on the
water line, and for those ships al
ready built it is believed that when
all weights which will be landed,
should war break out, are taken into
consideration, the ship will rise to
the or IL inches which is believed
to be the maximum that it could be
desired to raise them"
The report of Admiral Evans is
made in accordance with instructions
given him by Secretary Metcalf be-
fore he sailed from Hampton Roads.
The Secretary said it had no refer
ence whatever to the criticisms of
naval construction which have ap-
peared since the sailing of the fleet.

SMASHED BANK WINDOW.
Starving Old Man Then Grabbed
Money And Ran.

New York Especially A gray
haired, sickly looking man walked
into the banking Office of c. B. Rich
ard 6 Co., 33 Broadway, and asked
for money to get food. He was or
dered out, and after walking to the
street stood looking for a moment
at the firms window, where a guam
tity of foreign money was exhibited
Then his glance fell on a piece of
concrete lying in the gutter, and has
tily picking it up he threw it against
the plate glass. The window broke
in a dozen pieces and the old man
grabbed a 100 franc and so franc
note and ran.
Two of the firms clerks caught
him before he had got Is feet away.
He fought with all his strength to
break their hold, and continued his
resistance even when Traffic Police
man McArevy got there. McArevy
had to knock him down with his
club before he would submit to ar
rest.
In the Church Street Station the
prisoner described himself as Thomas
Kennedy, 70 years old, sailmaker,
with no home. He said he had eaten
nothing for As hours, and his ap-
pearance indicated it. The police
sympathized with him, but charged
him with burglary and sent him to
the detective bureau to be photo
graDhed

PANIC IN MEXICO CITY.
When The Theaters Rock The Audi
cnccs Rush Out.

Mexico City, Mex. Especially The
damage caused by the earthquake
shocks were greater than was indi-
Gated in the early reports. The first
shock was a fair warning to many
persons, whose experience in earth
tremblings knew that something
worse was liable to occur later. This
fact, however, did not prevent the
theatres and the principal places of
amusement from drawing their usual
crowds. At these places were many
American tourists, who felt the tinge
of excitement given them by the
shock of the early afternoon. When
the buildings began to rock and the
cry of earthquake was raised there
was rush for the doors, and the
throngs of pleasure-seelers soon
gained access to the street.
1t was in the midst of an act at
the principal theater when the Sc
verest shock occurred about 900 p.
M. The performers continued their
parts, but the audience fled to the
street. IL was in the poorer quarters
of the city that the worst damage
was done. The insecure walls of
buildings, which were damaged by
the earthquake of April IA, 1907,
fell, but the number of injured peo-
pie is comparatively small. Tele-
graphic communication with the in
terror of the State of Guerrero, which
Is known in meteorological circles as
the birthplace of the earthquakes,
which are so severely felt in this
city at intervals, has not yet been
restored. 1t is feared that there has
been a heavy loss of property, and,
perhaps, some casualties in some of
the mountain towns.
Mrs. Emma Jeanette Dorville, an
an American, dropped dead of heart
disease in the Tiburcio Theater, in
Vera Cruz, during a panic which fol-
lowed the earthquake. When the
quake was felt the audience rushed
for the exits and many persons were
severely bruised, but none was seri-
ously injured During the crush Mrs.
Dorville dropped dead

less meeting, without police sanction,
had been advertised to be held at
the park In the thousands that
gathered were many of a riotous dis
position, a large number wore red
hats, and here and there a red flag
was displayed
Suddenly an order to clear the
park was given, and the $50 police,
half of them mounted, charged the
ieering, hooting crowd, arriving in
time to drive them back to the square
circling the park. In the wide streets
the crowds, fast assuming the nature
of mob, fell into an indifferent for
nation and marched about the
square, Having cleared the park of
all but a few apparently harmless
men who occupied benches, the pol
ice contented themselves with keep
ing the paraders moving.
Encouraged, the procession grew !;
shouts of derision and oaths directed
at the police filled the air, and then,
as though by prearrangement, the
strains of THE Marseillaise" rose
from 10000 throats. The police,
hastily reinforced, held themselves in
restraint. Captain Reillys squad,
which had been stationed at the east
side of the square, started at a
double-quick pace, two abreast,
across the park.

AS they neared the fountain that

A large man kept at the others heels.

The bomb thrower still lived, but his

The four policemen who brought
up the rear were injured, but not
seriously, one of them being hit in
the foot by piece of the bomb.
