CAUSED GUN EXPLOSION
SAFETY DEVICE FAILED TO
WORK AT FORT MONROE.
Board Makes Report on Battery De
Russy Disaster, in Which
Eleven Were Killed.

A safety device which had been test
ed and found true. but failed in this
one particular instance, was the cause
of the gun explosion in Battery
De Russy at Fort Monroe, July Fl.
when eleven artillerymen were killed.
That is the report of the board of
officers which investigated.
A premature explosion of the powder
charge did the damage. The board in
it's report says it is forced to its con-
clusion Notwithstanding that long ex-
perience and previous tests had given
assurance that the firing mechanism
afforded protection against the very
disaster which came.
The board did not place the blame for
the accident upon any one person and
made no recommendations of a disci-
plinary nature. remarking that all of
the men directly responsible for the
operations of the breech- block. ham
ding the primer. etc. were killed.
One result of the Fort Monroe acct
dent is that every piece of ordnance
in the army will be tested and further
safety devices will be added

A NJ u S e N E Mt S.
Columbia,

If there was much of fault to be found
in "Pudd'n Head Wilson," Mark Twain s
famous story, as told by the Columbia
Players at the Columbia Theater last
evening that foult lay in the dramatiza-
ticn of Frank Mayo and not with the
splendid coterie of players.
1t was easy enough for. Mark Twain to
blend two stories utterly dissimilar in
one when he wrote his book, but from
dramatic standpoint and considering
the vast quantity and peculiar quality
of the material to be handled and har-
monized 1t was q very difficult PROPOSE
ton for the dramatist to condense 1T into
a play of reasonable length, interest and
clearness. Yet withal Mr.. Mayo's drama
tization is deeply interesting and thor
oughly entertaining. If the plaudits of
a typical Columbia audience can be relied
upon for a verdict.
The play, as might be expected. has it's
many humorous situations and some very
tragic ones. 1t is purely melodramatic
In cast and character. but 1t has a
wealth of character parts that would re-
as it varies in a degree from the book,
it may not be taxing the patience too
much to give an outline of the plot.
The story opens with a prologue which
serves to show how two four-month-old
babies. one with negro mother and
both of the same white father. become
mixed at a christening. which gives the
negro child the place Of the white one
and vice versa. The first act begins.
after the fashion Of plays, twenty-five
years later. when both are grown. with
out the secret having been discovered.
Through all the years the negro boy.
known az Tom Driscoli. bad at heart and
made worse by being spoiled. has been
defended and supported by the white boy.
known as Chambers. In all his boyish
uuarreis md difficulties. The mother that
bore one Of them. Roxy. favorite slave OF
the Driscolis, has been given her freedom.
but after long disappearance returns

about the time a number of thefts nave
been committed. She is suspected, and
ultimately, through the hatred and sug-
gestion of Tom Driscoll, Chambers be-
clamor is at its height York Driscoll, the
father of the two boys. is murderously
assaulted. Chambers is accused by Tom
Driscoll, who tries to incite the people
to lynch him. He is ultimately acquitted
and his real status as a white man is es-
tablished by "Pudd'n Head Wilson, the
we'll known character of Mark Twain S
book, who introduces finger prints of both
Tom and Chambers taken at various
stages of their lives and compares them
with the finger print on the knife with
which York Driscoll was assaulted.
AS Tom Driscoll, Frederic Forester
made a marked hit in the play, espec-
tally in the development of the peculiar
characteristics of his part at the trial
scene when challenged to give an i'm
print of his finger on prepared glass.
The scared look on his face, his trembling
form and the ultimate Shrek of horror
when he falls on the floor in a virtual
confession of his guilt were splendid evil
dences of Mr.. Forrester's conception of
his role and the ability with which he
portrayed it.
To Walter Wilson, however, who was
the "Pudd'n Head Wilson" of the play,
for finished and artistic character por-
travail that stamps him an actor of high
rank. Mr.. Wilson has given several
splendid character representations during
the season, but none better than that of
last evening. 1t was graceful, artistic,
discreet and exceptionally good
Ennelie Melville assthe old darkey slave
Roxy also shone well in her role and
at times gave evidence of emotional abi-
ity of high order. Her only drawback,
If there was any, was perhaps in her
dialect. which did not quite reach the real
thing. Miss Phyllis Sherwood gave a
fine presentation of the part of Rowy,
save the exhibition of too much affection
for Chambers at a stage when it seemed
inappropriate and Jared the sensible
ties.
Mr.. McAllister, as Chambers. seemed to
miss an opportunity when his identity was
disclosed as white man and the real
heir to York Driscoll. The thrill that
belonged to that stage when life, love.
hope and every possibility were opened
to him by the discovery was missing and
Chambers the slave was not forgotten.
A delightful element of the play was
the exceptionally good work of Edwin II.
Curtis, Theodore Hardy and Frank Shan
non as the three wise men," To Mr..
Curtis particularly much credit is due
for bringing his minor part to such en-
joyable prominence both in makeup and
in impersonation. 1t was one of the hits
of the play.
Everett Butterfeld and Arthur Richie,
as Luiji and Angelo 1.-The twins were
good in make up and in their limited OPP
portunities. Carrie Thatcher played the
part Of Aunt Patsy very well and is en-
titled to her share of the credit, but she
was bit too young and pretty in her
as Howard Pembroke. Stanley James as
York Driscoll and Joseph Hazleton as the
colored deacon and later on the judge.

BIG CABLES TO lift
MAINE FROM WATER
Engineers ingenious Plan to
Raise the Havana Harb0r
Wreck Intact.

An ingenious scheme for raising the
wreck of the battleship Maine from Ha-
vana harbor was yesterday laid before
Acting Secretary of War Oliver and Brig.
Gen. W. II. Bixby, chief of engineers, by
John F. O'Rourke, the engineer who re-
Gently had charge of the driving of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company's Hud-
son river tunnels and who supervised
the bridging of the Hudson at Pough-
keepsie
Mr.. O'Rourke spent two hours in de-
failing his plan to the War Department
officials, who decided to refer it to a
board. of army engineers fer considera-
ton Several other plans have already
been suggested.
Mr.. O'Rourke proposes to construct on
each side of the submerged wreck
wharf of piles. Between these wharves
and the wreck he would sink a number of
pneumatic cassons on each side of the
sunken ship From these caissons he
would construct a series of tunnels pass
ing under the wreck at intervals OF four
feet apart. There would be upward of a
hundred of these tunnels.
Steel Cables as Lifts.
He then proposes to pass a strong steel
cable through each of these tunnels, fas-
tening the ends of these cables on each
side to screw jacks. The cables would
have strength enough to sustain weight
of four times that of the ship. He then
PROPOSES to have several hundred men
operate the screw jacks TO lit the snip
slowly out of the water.
When she is lifted clear of the water
he proposes that the space between the
wharves be bridged and that repairs be
made, so that the ship could later be
lowered in the same manner in which she
was lifted and either be towed to this
country or come here under her own
steam.
This is the only scheme proposed which
provides for the raising of the Maine
without disturbing her hull or the space
between decks.
Mr.. O'Rourke declares that she could be
raised in precisely the same condition
in which she sank.
