BATTLESHIPS WILL DESTROY A
FORT IN TESTS To SETTLE A
CONTROVERSY OVER BIC GUNS

To settle this question, Fort Hunt,
Va, on the Potomac river, just be-
low Washington, is to be used as a
target, and will probably be destroyed
by the big guns of one Of the battle
ships. The plan only awaits final APP
proval by the Secretary Of War and
Secretary Meyer.
Ordnance officers have reached the
conclusion that questions of the vul.
nerability of sea coast defenses and
the greater energy Of navy guns can
only be decided by an actual test.
Fort Hunt is to be abandoned as a
fertilization. For several months
army and navy officers have agitated
the question of a test of this charac-
ter. It was at first thought possible
to hold it on some of the deserted
islands of the Pacific, or on an unin-
habited shore, where dummy army
guns could be mounted, and the con-
crete emplacements simulated with
sand and stone.
Since the Artillery Corps of the
army decided, upon the approval Of
General Wood, to abandon Fort Hunt,
it has been pointed out that this is
the ideal spot for such a test, as all
the conditions will be those of actual
warfare.
The guns, the big 10 and the ~
inch mortars, which are valuable,
could be replaced by dummies. Man
ildns would make able representa-
tives of the gun crews and the officer
in fire and battle control stations. 1t
will be recalled that accurate statis-
tics on the effectiveness of fire from
the big guns, upon modern battleship
armor, was ascertained by placing
manikins in the turret of the monitor
Florida, and then leveling a twelve
gun at it.

Especial Correspondence of the starr
WASHINGTON, August ga plan
to settle the long dispute over
the high-power efficiency Of the Amer
lean navy ordnance as compared with
the coast defense armament of the
army has been tentatively reached,
and it is believed will be carried out
here in the near future.
Navy experts maintain that their
guns could silence any battery at a
range so great that the shore guns
would be. useless. There are some of
the officers of the Army Artillery
Corps who are disposed to credit this
claim. If such is the case, it is ar
gued the fact should be ascertained
Immediately, no matter what the cost.
Army ordnance experts are increas.
ing the caliber and energy of their
guns to meet the naval advance of all
the world powers.
This, it is claimed, is an admission
that the old army ordnance is not ca
pable to compete with the modern high
power 14-inch guns adopted for the
use of the navy. The Panama Canal
Notifications are to mount 14-inch
guns which will be on a par with
the navy weapons.
The accented hattie range of the
navy is 10000 yards. At this range,
it is claimed that a broadside from a
modern battleship of the dreadnaught
type would smother a battery of shore
guns before they could get into
action. Not only this, but the en-
placements and gun mounts would
be crippled by the heavy shell, fire
control stations would be shattered
and the gun personnel swept from
their stations by bursting shrapnel.

ARMY AND NAVY

were temporarily ended at the Indian
Head naval proving grounds today.
1t was announced that both the new
weapon and its carriage had proved
eminently satisfactory. Fifty rounds
were fired in today's tests The maxi
mum range of $4,000 feet was reached
when the gun was elevated at an angle
of 50 degrees. The shot flashed ac-
curately for 10000 feet. Beyond that
distance it lost its original trajectory
and was affected by the air currents,
falling into the Potomac 1900 feet from
a spot where it had been reckoned it
would drop.
Rear Admiral Nathan C. Twining,
chief of the naval bureau of ordnance
and designer of the new gun, ex-
pressed the conviction today that the
carriage feature of the weapon had
been perfected. During three days
trial, Admiral Twining added, valua-
BILE information also had been obtained
on which to base the design of bet
ter sight for the aeroplane destroyer.
The idea of this one FOUNDER will be
duplicated into a three-inch gun.
Naval ordnance experts believed that
such a weapon would shoot seven
miles into the air. The favorable per-
Torrance of the new carriage caused
naval officers today jubilantly to ex-
Eress the belief that before long
american warships would be equip
ped with another battery of guns to
fight her invaders in the air
Tenth Infantry to Canal Zone.
WASHINGTON, Aug 29-The mo

the Panama Canal began today. The
Tenth Infantry, Colonel Henry A.
Greene, was ordered from San An

the Pacific entrance, as its permanent
station, and will sail within a week
from Galveston for Colon.
Ultimately it is planned to establish
brigade on the canal zone. The de-
partment intends to build no barracks,
but to utilize the buildings already
constructed.

For three years a prisoner; denied
all human ionship-indeed
scarcely hearing the sound of a human
voice from one days end to another;
living absolutely alone in a small
cabin, in the center of a three-acre
clearing in the woods-this is the aw-
full lot of a ward of the United States
government, who owes his incarceTa-
ton to no crime or fault of his own.
but solely to the fact that he is a
leper.
The mans name is Andrew Grover.
The place of his Imprisonment under
such terrible conditions, is on Puget
Sound near the United States Marine
Hospital Service quarantine station at
Port Townsend, Washington.
His jailors are the Government
physicians in charge of the station,
and his own malady, which, through
a horror instilled by ignorance and
superstition five thousand years ago,
makes him a feared and loathsome
exile among the peoples of the earth.
While it is still possible, in this age
of science and intelligence for such a
situation to eXist-when~ learned ply
sicians shudder and turn their backs at
the cry of distress-people of Hawaii
can perhaps begin to understand the
weird tales of horror which now ard
again are invented concerning the
leper colony on Molokai.
Seen BY Or. Wayson.
And so would the story of Andrew
Grover seem incredible were it told
by any one less responsible than DR..
j. T. Wayson, city and county physi-
clan in charge of the leper receiving
station at Kalihi.
DR.. Wayson has lately returned
from a several months visit on the
Coast, and while there he visited the
Puget Sound quarantine station, and
went to see the leper. He found the
patient suffering from the well known
symptoms of the disease, but suffering
many times more from the mental
agony of his solitary confinement.
There was nothing amiss with the
provision made for the mans physical
well being, and he was kept well sup
piled with reading matter. But aside
from the one cook, who prepared his
meals, delivered them to the cabin,
and then hustled away as fast as pcs
sible, few other human beings ever
exchanged a word with him.
According to DR.. Wayson, Grover is
a Scandinavian and was a seafaring
man-probably fisherman along the
Coast. He has no knowledge OF how
he contracted the disease. The ut .er
desolation of the mans life was what
made the greatest impression on DR.
Wayson.
The Abandoned Station.
"He has been a leEer for a good
many years, in all probability" stated
the Doctor, "And for three years he
has been prisoner. He may live for
fifteen or twenty years yet, thus the
very thought of such an existence is
enough to drive him insane or to COM
init suicide.
"And to think that the Federal Gov
eminent has spent from $15O,00O to
$2OOOOO in building splendid hospital
at Molokai, which is now virtually
abandoned, without ever having treat
ed patient"
This project referred to by DR.. Way
