FIRST SHOT WILL
WIN NAVAL BAT TIE
TESTS SHOW RESULTS - LONE
BROADS,DE WILL SINK ANY
SHIP.

Washington, April 1.-THE warship
that gets the first broadside will be
victorious over its enemy. This is
the unanimous verdict of the naval
experts who witnessed the recent de-
struction of the battleship San Mar
COS, formerly the cxas, known as
the navy hoodoo.
The San Marcos, after the first
salvo from the combined battery of
twelve inch, eight inch and seven inch
guns of the battleship New Hamp
shire, fired at a range of seven miles,
was a mass of wreckage. She sank
to the bottom and, if she had been
in deep water, instead of on a shOal
in Tangier Sound with only two feet
of water under her keel, she would
have gone down to the bottom in
five minutes.
The experiment conducted with the
battleshfps of the Atlantic fleet as
witnessed in a secluded corner of
Chesapeake Bay, have furnished the
navy ordnance experts with much
valuable information. Then, too, it
has shown that guns which have
been fixed many times are not alb
solutely worthless, and can be de.
pended upon to shoot fairly accurate
ly. The guns of the New Hampshire
had all been fired $50 times each,
the allotted life of a naval gun, be-
fore the San Marcos tests. The New
Hampshire is now being fitted out
with new batteries at the Norfolk
navy yard
In these days of economy and re-
trenchment in government eNpendi-
lures it seems to the layman that the
extravaganza, as the cost was sol 900.
From naval standpoint the Texas was
nothing more than junk. She was
obsolete. Her fighting qualities were
worthless compared with the battle
ships of the present day, every one
of which armed with batteries of
14-inch guns are able to whip a doz.
en- of the San Marcos type. AS old
junk the San Marcos would not
have brought more than $4,000 As
an experiment she was of great val
ne, giving technical information to
the ordinance and construction ex
perts of the service that it is said
will have material effect in the plans
for the two giant $4,000 ton ships
authorized at the last session OF
congress.

eressiVe element in the senate.
Senator Martin, chairman of the
democratic caucus, who framed the
committee, had announced his inten-
tion of giving the new and progress
i've senators fair representation. The
steering committees first function
will be to take up the personnel of
the committees. The republican mem
bers for this task already have been
chosen.
Several of the independent commit
tees probably viii be enlarged to
meet the demands of the democratic
senators for greater representation
on them. The demand for places by
republican senators is so strong it
does not seem practicable to reduce
the republican representation and the
democrats insist on more liberal rec
ognition.
Senator Gallinger. khairman of
the republican committee on commit
tees. conferred on this subject with
Senator Martin and they agreed to
take up the matter with their fellow
senators. The minority representa-
tives took the position that there
should be at least four democrats
to every five republicans on the
committees and Mr.. Gallinger while
disposed to eoncede the fairness OF
this contention in the main, held out
for more than one majority on the
larger committees.

Animals on Board.

HnlrndIS OF oOdiu.
Navy officials, now that the San
Marcos tests have been concluded so
far as heavy firing is concerned are
relieved that the societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals have
not protested against the use of
chickens and cats in the test. Aboard
the San Marcos the day she was
subjected to bombardment, and when
the explosive shells were used, were
number of cats and roosters. Two
of the cats were killed by bursting
shells and a rooster had a leg nipped
off by piece of armor plate. The
rest of the animals are not injured
and did not seem at all frightened
One cat, belonging to the battleship
Vermont, seemed to enjoy the expert
ment, and during the cease firing"
periods would come out of the turret,
rub against the officers who came
aboard for inspection purposes. The
loOSltl, WutH lie was WOuHueu, was
taken aboard Monitor Tallahassee
His injured leg was dressed. The
following morning he was up with
the sun and croweu so Justify that
the ships crew decided that he was
made up of the right kind of stuff
and from now on he will be the
mascot of the monitor
Secretary Meyer went aboard the
San Marcos with the first inspection
party. From the inside of turret he
remarked to a young ensign that a
shell that had pierced the armor plate
had left grooves, showing that it
revolved to the left as it went
through.
What's the matter with you?" ask
ed the ensign. You are on the job

 of wealth and refinement in a Southern city. From the French windows of the mansion is a mo- ble view of the State capitol and dome. Trees and green park like spaces contrast with the gleaming white of the capitol which the
 Southern sunshine irradiates. The era of the play is thirty-five years after the war, and the stump tuous furnishings of the mansion show the age of prosperity in full swing. The characters likewise
 are twentieth century men and women, actual contemporary type To those who enjoy Mir.
