One result of the cruise OF the At

Henry N. Clotworthy. one of the special
correspondents, who accompanied the
ships part of the way around the world,
will be the elimination of MagdaIena
bay as a range for record target prac-
tice. Clotworthy left the fleet at Man
lila and arrived here yesterday on the
liner Asia. Ma gdalena bay will still
be used for the purpose of training
gunners and getting crews in shape.
but the only shooting that will count
hereafter will be done on the open
sea with moving targets at ranges
that it will be up to the men behind the
guns to find out for themselves.
Magdalena bay is an ideal target
range, but as the conditions there are
so much more perfect than it would be
possible to expect in war time the
navy department has decided the con-
ditions of practice must more nearly
conform to the real thing. The scores
at Magdalena bay in many cases were
almost perfect After leaving here the
fleet engaged in some open sea shoot
ing and it opened the eyes of the navy
to such an extent that a change of pro-
gram was decided upon
While the ships Were at Manila bay
they had some of the new kind of
shooting. and one instance related by
CIotworthy shows that the American
gunner does not need the peaceful
quiet of Magdalena bay in order to
score hits. The Vermont was sent to

arbitrary ruling designed to pre-

prevent members from occupying
the floor at certain times when the
Use of that time was to block legis-

wrong and Fitzhugh leaped to his
feet and bitingly asked when Tex

Fitzhugh appealed from the de-
cision and when the error was point
ed out the speaker withdrew his ru-
ling. Fitzhugh then apologized, de-
claring that Texas has greater
than Cannon"
While technically wrong, the
speaker, however, accomplished his
purpose and stopped the dilatory tao
tics. The employers liability bill was
passed finally in the house and goes
to the governor.
