1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 10 to so cents, by
only per cent of the total colored population
of the city of Washington, will enable the Com
pany to pay IS per cent on its total capitaliza-
ton. Equal in all to 20 o-1o per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase of SIS
per cent.
Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated.
Banks and Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositors' and
policyholders' money-YOUR money, but
YOU get only about 3 or 81 per cent. The
banks or insurance companies keep the balance.

MAY BUILD STILL
LARGER Terror
Appropriation viii be Asked for
l4'Inch Gun. While Navy or
fiCerS Insist That Small
er One is Much
Better.

Washington, Jan. THAT Rear
Admiral Evans caustic criticisms of
the ordnance department. which he
intimates was afflicted with Anglo
mania in the abandonment of the 13-
inch gun, are bound to attract no.
tice in the navy department and per-
haps at the White House. Is the be-
lief in navy circles.
Admiral Evans takes issue with
the policy of substituting the 12-inch
present weapon for the old 1s-inch
gun which was used in the fight
against Cervera's squadron at San
tiago. The point of Fighting Bob's"
criticism Is that the 13-inch gun
could do all that Is claimed for the
l2-inch gun, but in addition when a
l3-inch shell exploded it would do
twice as much damage as a 12-inch
shell because the former carried
eighty pounds of explosives and the
later only forty-eight pounds.
ordnance experts here have not
only insisted within the last two
weeks on the retention of the 12-
inch gun, but they have recommend
ed that five feet be added to its
length, and assert that such a gun
will be the terror Of the whole world.
According to the ordnance experts,
the answer to Admiral Evans is this:
1t is impossible to fire the I3-inch
shell, say, at 5000 yards in any tra-
tectory that will approach the hori-
zontal. 1t is just as likely, in firing
the 13-inch gun at the long ranges re-
quired in modern warfare. that it's
shell will fall beyond the object or
short of 1t. But the 12-incir> gun has
largely increased muzzle velocity,
lighter shell, and the projectiie
flies at terrific speed over the long
ranges, in nearly a straight line The
longer the gun, when smokeless
powder Is used, the greater will be
the initial velocity because the ex-
plosive force of the powder is pro-
gressive.
The experts declared that the pro-
posed new 12-inch gun with an addi-
tional five feet in length would be
effective at such long ranges that no
British ship or German ship would
care or dare approach an American
ship at distance of five and a half
or six miles. 1t appears, however.
that this new 12-inch gun is as yet
only in the gun factory.
1t also is interesting to note that
Admiral Mason, chief of the bureau
OF ordnance, has asked Congress for
funds to construct a 14-inch gun.
Such gun would be the higher de-
velopment of the 1S-inch gun which
Is being euloglzed by Rear Admiral
Evans. What it can do is as the math-
emathicans say Ito be demonstrated"
1t is likely that Congress will provide
the money for this 14-inch monster.

CONFIRMS STORY

Asked for Another
Chance.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 2.-Assert-
ing that she had deliberately perJured
herself in testifying for the defense,
and conscious stricken because she
desired to tell the truth, Mrs. Wade
Morris, the wife Of one of the self
confessed night riders, asked to be
recalled to the witness stand today.
Her request was granted and she
thereupon corrected her testimony.
When Wade Morris, her husband,
testified on the stand he stated that
he was present when Captain Rankin
was killed and that he recognized
some of the defendants. Mrs. Morris
took the stand yesterday and i'm
peached her husband testimony by
swearing that he was at home the
night Rankin was killed.
She did not know of his testimony
but claimed today that she had been
persuaded by relatives and had been
intimidated to swear falsely. On the
stand today she corrected her testi-
mony and stated that her husband
was not at home but was with the
night riders when Rankin was mur-
dered. The court permitted the cor
rection in testimony to be made

be exceeded for the new and conser-
