c. @. Curtis Says the Creole Case
Hill Not affect the North Dakota.

Charles G. Curtis the inventor OF the type OF tur
hine engines with which the steamship Creole was
equipped. but which the Southern Pacific Steam
ship company IS going 70 replace With engines Of
reciproczting type said Yesterday that he did not
believe the change due TO any fault with the
turbines. II the Creole failed 70 satisfy expecta-
tions by consuming too great quantity Of coal
Nfr. Curtis believed that the engines rather than
the turbines were blame. Il mistake. the
inventor said. 70 install boilers OF the tube
type instead Of the FIRE tube type. inasmuch the
fcrer had failed prove their superior usefulness
for navigation
When the Southern Pacific Company decided 20
change the boilers il also determined 10 adopt a
type OF .ngine which had passed the experimental
stage and could be relied upon for good service
Il only because Of this desire the part Of the
company 70 have the Creole equipped with stand
ardized and well tried machinery, Mr.. Curtis said
that led the company 10 dispense with the turbines
The doing away with the turbines the Creole,
Mr. Curtis said. would not IN any way affect the
plans Of the Navy Department 20 install the
bines in the battleship North Dakota- AS for
the scout cruiser Salem the inventor was confident
that ~len the necessary repairs the vessel were
made the turbines would prove their effectiveness
Had more vigilance been observed the time the
machinery installed. he said. her trials would
have afforded far better test Of the turbines.
