to be built under this years program
would be at least 80 per cent superior
to their immediate predecessors.
In what way that superiority is TO
he obtained has not been entirely dis
closed. but at least two of the I'M
provements to be introduced are
known.
In the first place. the 10 and u inch
guns with which the ships are to be
equipped are to have greater 1hu2zie
energy than now in use.
These guns will be capable of deYel-
oping a muZzle energy of 53,0OO-toot
tons compared with the energy or AZ, =
900 foot tons Of the guns on the Dread
naughts.
In addition to this increased power
all the 12-inch guns of these new shlps
may be on either side.
For this purpose the. deck erections
have been reduced to the minimum
and the two pairs of guns placed in the
center of the ship in barbette on each
wing. but arranged in echelon can
sweep through almost a complete cir
Gle and fire on the port or starboard
side.
The other three pairs of guns will
be mounted in barbettes in the center
line, one barbette being forward and
two aft. In one of the latter the guns
will be carried at high elevation.
This is considered an improvement
on the arrangement of the big guns
on the new American ships.
The ten primary guns can also be
fired on either broadside in the Ameri-
can ships, but all the guns being placed
in the center line, the bow and stern
fire is considerably reduced, there be-
ing no guns on the wing
Moreover, British experts consider
that the American system makes it
difficult to train all the guns at an
acute angle to the fore and aft line of
the ship.
The new British vessels are to be flt-
ted with turbines to develop a speed of
twenty-one knots.

.AERONAUT PUTS
OUT ALL LIGHTS
PARACHUTE ACCIDENT LEAVES
STREETS IN GLOOM
Boyle Heights Residents Scurry for
Lamps When Entire Districts
Electric System Is Sud-
denly Disabled

Five Thousand residences in that Sec
ton of the city south of Tenth street
and east of Grand avenue were in dark
ness all of last night because Charles
Colby, an aeronaut, descending in his
parachute, hung on the electric light
wires of the Edison company at Six
teenth street and Maple avenue, causing
the 1900 volts wire which lights that
portion of the city to burn in two
pieces.
Colby, though imperiled for more than
fifteen minutes, was rescued and es-
capped without scratch or burn. The
only serious result of the accident was
the inconvenience occasioned in the dis
trict mentioned. Homes were in dark
ness and housewives were thrust back
ward to the era of candle lights. Even
oil lamps had to be searched out of gar
rets for the houses of worship, of which
there are several in the section de-
scribed. All of Boyle Heights was in
darkness, and owing to the activity of
thugs in that part of the city Chief
Dishman ordered out reserves and
placed them in the darkened area for
the night. Up to late hour no depre-
dations had been reported.
The parachute caught fire before a
plan of recovering it had been formed,
and the flames from the canvas burned
the insulation of the heavy wire, which
soon melted.
Colby made the ascent from Chutes
park at 5:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and when above Sixteenth and Maple
streets he dropped. He descended SLOW
ly and gracefully when his parachute
opened, but the frame caught on the
electric light wires. The park author
tiles were notified and sent party to
rescue him. A rope was thrown, which
he passed over the trapeze and let him
self down. He had been suspended IN
midair about twenty minutes, While
the men were planning to get the para
chute down it caught fire.
The electric company declared that
the line could not be repaired in time
to light the Boyle Heights district and
so informed the city. AS soon as dark
ness set in and it became known that
the electric current had been cut off a
demand for candles and oil lamps was
created. The people found the grocery
stores closed, and consequently could
not get candles. Then they began to
take oil lamps out of remote places and
to obtain oil to fill them.
The matter became serious for a
While with the churches, which were in
darkness, but members of congregations
brought lamps and lanters and all ser
vices were held as scheduled.

Son Admits Condition of Liberal
Leader Is Not Improved and
Death is Believed
Imminent

LONDON, May 29.-Despite the eff
forts of his relatives and close
friends to quiet the reports that
Joseph Chamberlain's condition is
critical, it is generally understood in
England that the former great political
leader is near his end. His health has
steadily declined for the last six
months, and he has suffered frequent
serious collapses. Arthur Chamber
lain, his son, admitted recently that
his fathers condition was not i'm
proved. Mr.. Chamberlain was until
his retirement the Unionist leader in
British politics. He was born in 1886
and was in turn councilman and
mayor of Birmingham and on the re-
turn of the Liberals in 1886 was made
president of the board of trade, with
a seat in the cabinet. Some of his best
known legislative measures are the
bankruptcy bill and the readjustment
of taxation.
