EVANS OPINION
THE ADMIRAL THINKS THE AR
NOR BELT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
PLACED HIGHER.
REALLY LITTLE DIFFERENCE
Shows Danger of Expecting Bottom
Plating to Even Small Shell
Fire-Protected Above by
Citadel Armor.

Washington, Mar 27-Secretary
Metcalf Thursday made public the
views of Admiral Evans regarding the
location of the armor belt on battle
ships which he has just received in a
lengthy report from the admiral on
this and other subjects connected with
the voyage of the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific coast. The admiral says:
Judging from the figures contained in
the several replies from commanding
officers which relate to this subject, it
would appear that better protection
might have been afforded had those
belts been originally placed between
six inches and one foot higher; this
on the theory that the commanding
officer would admit sufficient water be-
fore an action to sink the belt to with
in about eighteen inches above the
water line; but even this is open to
question, for it has been noted that
even when heavy laden and in the
smooth to moderate seas, which have
thus far characterized this cruise, the
ships frequently expose their entire
belt and the bottom planting beneath.
1t must be remembered that even a
five or siX-inch shell (of which there
would be a great number) could in
flict a severe and dangerous injury
if it struck below the belt, while other
wise the water line, even with the
belt entirely submerged, is, on account
of the casemate armor and coal, i'm
mune to all except the heaviest pro-
jectiles. 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 wherever
it may be placed; and the question be-
comes an academic discussion with
certain arguments on each side. 1t 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 waterine,
and for those ships already built, it is
believed that when the bridges are re-
moved and all weights which will be
landed, should war break out, are
taken into consideration, the ship will
rise to the six to twelve 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 before
he sailed from Hampton Roads.
The secretary said it had no refer
ence whatever to the criticism. Of
naval construction which have APP
peared since the sailing of the fleet.

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
PurIoiner of Cake of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive a man to re-
member a theft of a cake of soap.
That there is such conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt a few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekecper in little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had small store
in st. Paul. In front Of his establish
ment he had showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
Of special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was SO small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received letter from
the thief, which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
of soap in payment for one took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. I recently saw your advertise
ment in country paper and learned
of the change of your place of bust
ness. | regret deeply having taken the
soap, and trust that this which | send
will satisfactorily take, its place.

KANSAS MILLERS ENJOINED
THE ANTITRUST SUIT AGAINST
THEM COMPROMISED.
Attorney General jackson Permits
Them to Retain Their Organiza-
tion-Cannot Fix Prices.

Topeka, Kan, Mar 2S.-An injunc
ton preventing millerS from making
any agreement in regard to the prices
of -four, bran, chops or other products
and the price which the millers Will
pay for grain probably will be entered
in the district court at Wichita before
the end of the week. When this is
done the antitrust suit against nearly
one hundred Kansas millers will be
brought to an end. The suit was be-
gun year ago by Fred S. Jackson, at
torney general, and John S. Dawson,
his assistant.
After year of litigation the millers
finally agreed to the terms of the at
torney general and a settlement has
been arranged. The millers will be
enjoined from fixing prices, but they
may still retain their organizations
and work in them along the same lines
as the bankers and grocers and other
commercial organizations.
The Southern Kansas Commercial
club and the Southwestern Bureau OF
Information were organizations of mill
ers which, the attorney general con-
tended, fixed the prices of grain and
mill products in Kansas. The club and
information bureau and all the millers
who are members of them are re-
strained from doing anything that will
in any way tend to fix prices, but the
organizations are not dissolved.
The state gained everything it asked
for in the antitrust proceedings, while
the millers simply retain their organi'
cations. This is not only a victory for
the state, but is the termination OF
the antitrust suits started when Fred
S. Jackson became attorney general.
