TOPOGRAPHY MAY PREVENT
 BUILDING ROAD ID TUCSON

TUCSON, Sept. 29.--in order that Tucson people may not boost their hopes too high in connection with the extension of the Fl Paso and South. western railroad, N. E, Plumer, presi- dent of the Southern Arizona Bank and Trust company. is admitting some of the discouraging features of the interview with Walter Douglas. Mir. Plumer was a member of the delegation which went to Bisbee to represent the chamber of commerce.
 Although MT. Piumer has ae. aban- doned hope of getting the extension. he thinks that Tucson people should not be too expectant, as they might build their hopes so high that a dis appointment would come hard. There were some features of the interview which it was agreed to keep secret. but others can be divulged and MT. Plumer has confessed some of the dis couraging ones as well as the more promising.
 According to MT, Plumer, Mir. Doug las in a measure informed the com mittee that topography is strongly against Tucson. He asserted that it Is always much easier to follow. q waterway and therefore the route down the San Pedro and into Phoenix is more practicable. To reach Tucson il would be necessary, along the route surveyed hy the Fl Paso and South western, to cut drought a big noun tain range. which would add an iui- mense sum to the cost of construc- tion.
 Not to be discouraged. the Tucson

, delegation suggested meeting the ex. tra expense. but Mir. Douglas stated that even though every dollar of the difference il the cost of construction were put up, the cost of maintenance is so much less along a water route than through a mountain range, that there would be no assurance that
 Tucson could get the road. Station and shop sites are such small mat ters in comparison with the other OK. penses that their donation would have little effect.
 MT. Douglas told the Tucson men
 that he had not met them before when in Tucson or near here. be-
 cause he had nothing to offer them.
 However. when an interview was sought he was glad to grant it. but
 knew that the delegation would ap- preciate perfect frankness. and fer that reason he spoke frankly. He did not say that Tucson is out of N-' i"AS ps any heahS, us nun ling can be known until the meeting iof the directors of the railroad next month. However he wanted 10 fore. warn the delegation that there must
 not be great disappointment if the extension does not come here. Both the cost of construction and the cost of operation and maintenance of a read to Tuscon would be much great CT than one down the valley, while

.ARMOR PLATES OF WARsH|PS
 ARE N0T SOUND
For Many Weeks the Navy Department has Been Con ducting a Rigid Inquiry h. to the Matter

l WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-The use
 iulness and vitality of the Ameri.
 can new navy are said to be men aced by defective armor plate. For
 weeks the navy department has been conducting a secret investigation.
 The situation has become acute. and armor plate experts Of the navy and the steel companies are trying ! to remedy the defects. For more | than month the best steel experts
 in the world have devoted almost their entire time to the matter. Tests
 have been conduc ted at all of the large mills, inclu( ing Midvale and Bethlehem, but a: yet no remedy has been found.
 On the two newest battleshps, the 6readnaughts Delaware and Utah. re- gently placed ia commission. there were sixteen defective armor plates | found. Five of these have been re- jected as too dangerous to use, while the other eleven will be retained un- til the extent of their effectiveness can be determined.
 On the battleship Rhode island de fectiye armor plate about the for ward turret has been found. There are from twelve to fifteen cracks. some of which are one-sixteenth of an inch in width, in this armor plate. according to photographs and blue prints taken by the department.
 Rear Admiral Couden made an in vsstigation of the Rhode Islands de fective plates and reported that the Assures were surface cracks down into the hardened part of the plates. He also reported that in his opinion the defects would not affect the re sisting power of the terreis: but it is feared by other naval officers and men that were the Rhode Island to engage ia battle and shell strike the forward turret. penetration would certainly result. It was also pointes out that it a sharp-nosed proiectile should strike one of the cracks fair nothing could stop it from penetrst- ing and causing great damage and probably considerable loss of life.
 Apprehension has seized the off cers in charge of the construction of naval vesselsfhat perhaps half. if not more. of the battieships or the new navy have defective armor plates. Just what degree of de fectiveness exists none will even sug- gest
 The cost of replacing defective plates is large, but the chief reason why the department wishes defects hidden is that it gives the navy bad name among nations. 1t also reflects on the steel industry. especially that part whick has to do with carbon izing o- hardening.

AiGEL UPHOlDS THE SLAUGHTER 0F SEALS

! WASHINGTON. Sept. 3o.-Polyg.
 amy rampant and of most danger ous form, among the seals of one of Uncle Sam's choicest fur-producing properties. the Pribilof Islands, is causing the department of commerce and labor considerable trouble these days, and Secretary Nagel much wor. ry. So general s polygamy on the sealic domains that all efforts to eradicate it on the part of natural history experts in the government service have proved without avail,
 These conditions were brought to
 light when inquiry Sas made of of
 .cials of the department of con- rnefcc and labor as to the reason for the order to kill all but 1000 of the male seals on the islands And what caused the query was the fact that the members of the Camp Fire club .of Amerca, of which former President Roosevelt is an honorary member, where he condemns and punishes it and favors polygamy in the islands, are engaged in a lively controversy with Secretary Nagel and his depart ment over what they allese to be the wanton slaughter Of the seals They want the killing stopped, and the president of the organization. Professor William T. Hornady, super intendent of the BroEx Zoo. even threatens to ask congressional in yestigaton of Secretary Nagels ac- tion.
 Professor Hornady practically ac- cuses the secretary of being infiu- CT quota of wives for each harem, 1000 sealic sultans, allowing the prop
 enced by the seal interests after congress, he says. had made an ap- propriation providing infcrentialIy
 for a long closed season in the kill ing of the animals on the islands.
 But the officials scoff at the threats of the New Yorker and say his action
 is due to his ignorance of the polyga- nous habits of the seals.
 Secretary Nagel's private secretary.
 NIT. Stevens, speaking for his su-
 perior. who was absent, said:
 Each seal is anxious to have his own haren. If all the males were d. lowed to live there wouldn't be enough wives in the Pribiiofs to go
 round Hence comes the great dan ger: also the controversy between tho department and the Camp Fire club of America The male seals fight over the female seals As a result the casualties are enormous. and would. in the course of time.
 work to the extermination of all the
 fur bearing animals on the islands.
