HOSTILE WAR CRAFT
WOULD Be RIDDLED
Reports of U. s. Target Practice a:
Coast Defenses Makes 1t Clear
That Invaders Would
Be Doomed

WASHINGTON, March 9.-It will be
a bold sea captain who in time of war
will bring his ship within the marine
league of our coasts, if the coast artil-
lery continues to improve in big gun
shooting as it did last year.
Gen. Murray, chief of coast artillery
has just received reports of target
practice made by the forts which pro-
tect the barbors, and they show a re-
markable increase in the percentage o.
hits compared with a year ago.
The five-inch guns doubled their eff
cheney, with reported hits of 44.46 per
cent, and even the big twelve-inch
guns showed an increased percentage
of 90 All this was done under more
severe conditions than ever before pre-
vailed, the ranges being increased ana
the smaller caliber guns being placed
in faster company with the big fell
lows. For instance, the guns above
eight inches were fired at targets 30x60
feet and at distance of at least 1000
yards, where a battleship would look
about as large as a roWboat, yet at
that range, in 162 practice shots, in 81
cases every shot would have found g,
target, which shows how small chances
would be of a hostile ship getting into
one of our ports.

SIAN PLOT TRIAL
NINE. BREsCHKoWsKY ESCAPES
SIBERIAN TOLL

Reputation of Convict's Testl-

of TchaikoVsky
Associated Pressl

ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-The
trial of Nicholas Tchaikovsky and of
Nine. Breschkowsky, on the charge of
revolutionary conspiracy, ended today
with the acquittal of Tchaikovsky and
the comparatively mild sentence OF
exile imposed on Nine. Breschkowsky.
Tchaikovsky's counsel was so pessi-
mistic that he passed the interval
when the jurors retired in planning an
appeal.
Nine. Breschkowsky's counsel la
mented the fact that she lacked four
years of the ago exempting her from
hard labor.
The first CLEAN of hope came when
the Judges dropped the charge against
the woman of preaching the assassi-
nation of the emperor. under which
exile with hard labor was inevitable
on conviction. The jurors deliberated
for ten minutes before the verdict was
rendered.
While Nine. Breschkowsky' SEN
tence provides a perpetual exile, she
escaped hard labor, which her coun-
sci considers a great victory.
handful of friends surrounded the
prisoners, showering congratulations on
them and exchanging kisses in typical
Russian fashion. The guards allowed
the woman half an hour with her
friends before taking her to the de-
tention prison, where she will await
deportation.
The collapse Of the prosecutions case
was due to the utter discrediting OF
Pateuk. who is serving a life term for
murder and other crimes. and the fail
ure of the crown to present other wit
nesses who could connect Tchaikovsky
and Nine Breschkowsky with revo-
lutionary activity as charged in the
indictment.
The woman however. had pleaded
guilty to being a Social Revolutionist.
The jurors found that the business
records introduced amply accounted for
Tchaikoyskys presence in Russia.
Tchaikovsky will leave here in three
weeks for England. Nine Breschkow-
sky's exile, as shown by the expert
ence of others, will be reasonably COM
Portable If money is forthcoming from
her friends.

tanned in Jail in connection with the

who was jealous of his present wife
is assisting Mrs. Pepoon's mother, who
instigated the investigation which led
to Pepoons arrest. In this he is cor
roborated by his present wife, Mrs.
Maud Kellar Pepoon.

rick stated that he would today file in
formation in the superior court here

PARIS March 9.-The arrest of M
Duez following his confession that he
had misappropriated something like
81, 900, 900 of the funds derived from the
sale of church property Of which he
was liquidator has created a great
sensation. limitations are freely made
that other liquidators are similarly in
volved.
The Republican press finds no words
of excuse for the disgraced official and
places responsibility for the condition
of affairs upon the immense amount
of work assigned to a single liquidator.
At the same time the papers accord
the government upstlnted praise for its
courage in boldly exposing the scandal
on the eve of the general elections.
when it is sure to become powerful
weapon in the hands of the Catholics.
The Catholic and Royalist press
'manifests glee over the exposure which
they declare shows that the property
of the churches, monasteries and con-
vents expatriated by the state, instead
of furnishing s200,000000 for old age
pensions and other social reforms. as
the proletariat was taught to believe,
has disappeared into the pockets of
thieving politicians.
LAction Francaise today remarks
cynically:
"Duez being charged by the gov
ernment to steal the church property
can hardly be blamed for taking
part of the booty for himself"
The government claims that when
the report of Irregularities was first
received two years ago it did its full
duty by relieving some of the liquida-
tors of a part of their work, calling
for their accounts, appointing an in
vestigating committee and initiating
the legal Investigations which resulted
in the arrest of Duez.
Duez was what is known as an "of-
fetal receiver" which is a sort of
branch of the magistracy.
In addition to his shortage in the
congregation accounts, he admits he
is short 100000 in. connection with
other affairs confded to his charge.
The cabinet decided today to detail
auditors from the ministry of finance
to inspect all of the accounts.
The papers submitted to the senate
commission today show that Duez' de-
falcations approximate $2,0OO,00O.
