Another Gun Defective.

Fort Monroe, Va, July 22.-The
sacrifice of IL lives by the explosion
of gun Of the Derussey battery yes
terday caused an investigation OF
the other rifles of the fort with the
result that another gun was found
today in such condition that a simi-
lar serious accident wSs possible.
The mechanism of the huge disap-
pearing rife in one of the emplace-
ments was found so worn that the
breech block was held in place after
closing only by thin strip of me-
tai. The gun will be replaced with
a new rife before target practice is
resumed.
The result of a cursory examina-
ton of the forts armament probab-
ly soon will be an order from the
war department for an investigation
of the guns of all forts in the
United States.
The catastrophe of yesterday is
ascribed to defective safety service
firing mechanism. The exact reason
for the explosion probably never
will be known, as those who could
have explained it were blown to
pieces.
1t is not likely that the members
of the investigating board will sub
NIT report before the end of next
week.

The trouble resulted yesterday
when Sheriff Mckenzie attempted to
arrest the seven negroes on charges
OF assault.
They fed to the Beck farm, and
there obtained work m the fields.
Cauley traced the men to the farm
and tried to arrest them. The ne
groes rushed the officer with pitch
forks. Before they reached him CaI-
ley shot five Of them dead and wound
ed the remaining two 80 seriously

more than ten seconds.

Norfolk, Va, July 22.-The great
rifles that sent their charges hurtling
across Hampton Roads yesterday are
silent today. The national standard
flies over the Notifications at half
mast.
The Ii dead soldiers, victims of
the back fire of gun No. of the de-
Russey battery yesterday, await bur-
ial, and an investigation is under way
to ascertain the cause of the fatal
accident.
Colonel Townsley, commandant of
the fort, today notified the families
of the men that tn government would
attend to the details and defray the
expense of burial.
The commandant, in a report to
the war department, gives his reasons
for the accident, and speaks in the
highest praise of the bravery of the
men who survived the explosion, and,
although wounded, risked their lives
to prevent further disaster.
The report follows:
"The accident was due to prema-
ture discharge of gun No. 1, De-
Russey battery. The breech block
was blown rearward, the discharge
occurred before rotation began. Cap
tain James Prentice was in command; I;
Lieutenant P. H. Halves was in charge

Hard
Work of
Checking
Operator
By HAZEL N. BLOOM

good longdistance operator is insistent o knowing the correct lame and
phone number and particularly if the phone the person is speaking over
belongs to him. All these things have to go down in black and white and
come under the careful eye of the girl who oversees. These tickets with
the operators number Or initials attached re turned over to the checking
operator.
Constantly throughout the month this check girl calls up offices of
the surrounding towns and compares the tickets and checks up with the
girl at the other end of the line. This is to see that no mistake has been
made and that each Office will get credit for its calls. In the cas- of
reverse calls the check system is most important.
The checking operator generally is a girl who has been promoted first
from the regular switchboard to the long distance board and then to her
present position. Her hours ire shorter, her wages slightly increased and
in every way the position is more desirable.
There is a great strain attached to the work, in that every check girl
must be able to stand her own ground and Zee that her office is not cheated
without in any way antagonizng the check girl who represents the Office
in the other city. +
In large cities from eight to ten of these girls IT employed all the
time to keep account of the companys business, but in a town of from
10000 to $4,000 one check operator is able to handle the work.
To the bright, alert telephone girl who is anxious to advance the
checking position is a excellent opportunity for better things.
