OIL BURNERS FOR NAVY.
Next BattIeship To Be Designed
Will Use Liquid Fuel.
From The Tribune Bureau
washington. November l3.

session proyides for one Dattleshlp OF
tbree shns The impression prevails that
an effort will be made in the House Naval
C,onuittee 10 include i'm the naval ap-
nro,riation hill An authorization for three
sbins but there will be opposition to any
such proposal.
II has been practically decided to put
the next baltleship on an olI-purillnS
basis exclusively. Much CONSIDERATION
has been given to this subject, which con-
stitutes a problem i'm view OF the con-
stantlv increasing price of liquid iuel ana
the necessity of controlling sources or
supplies. which will make the navy inde-
nendent of any monopoly. This situation
has bcen made practical by the acqulSl-
ton Of valuable oil lands III oout'eI"
California, where II Is underStood 'he
supply is sufficient to last many years
This field remains TO be developer put
| the naval authorities are conhdehl that
| they have a means of regulating the price
| of oil so as TO keep the cost OF tuel "llh-
| In bounds The British Admiralty mas
anticipated this emergency by making
an arrangement for it's supply Of oil for
the English navy from Mexican sources
The new battleships will also have tur-
! bines. instead Of reciprocating engines
which have come TO be regarded as ooso-
lete. There has been some talk OF an OIL
| engine. but the experts say that tnla mas
not been sufficiently developed for battic-
ship purposes That type OF engine must
remain the same as the equipment ior
! smaller vessels, notably the destroyels.
I'm the mean time the naval engineers
are profoundly interested In the trial trip
of the naval collier Jupiter. which Is to be
| tested officially on the west coast during
the coming month This vessel carries an
experimental type of engine OF eiectrlca'
control installed by the General Electric
Company, of Schenectady. y. l. Inc ls-
ports OF the preliminary runs ot the
collier. conducted by the makers OF the
machinery. indicate a success Ihis IS
an equipment which is expected to rcNo-
lutionize naval motive power.
rival OUTFIT. known as the reduction
drive. will be installed by the NestnS-
! house company on the collier Neptune
which has been sent TO the Norfolk Navy
| Yard To have the old engines removed to
| make a place for the new equipment II
was desired TO send from Washington
| some naval engineers to observe the trlal
! Of the Jupiter but the cost of the oincial
travel and the necessity for economy IN
naval mileage have required that the IN
| specting board shall be made up oi ON
GERS on the Pacific Coast
Some experiments in types of naval ma
chinery are also being conducted at the
experimental station at Annapolis, TO
