ACCUSES NAVAL OFFICERS

wAsHiNGroN, oct. Willard s 1shan
an engineer OF this city. who has been
trying for sixteen years to persuade the
Navy Department 10 adopt his torpedo
shell ideas. stirred up warm discussion
before the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee to-day when he contended that
the three battleships on which jfds will

be "as worthless, and antiquatcd as the

Isham has made life more or less UNI
comfortable for the ordnance officers OF
the United states navy on various oc-
casions and he charges now that tho De-
partment has refused fairly to test a
torpedo shell which he contends 10 most
effective.
Fear Admiral Joseph strauss, chief or
ordnance. who was present TO represent
the Navy Department, took the stand
and gave his reasons. IN reply to ques-
tions from Senators, why isham had been
barred from the tests Of the shell which
he invented He claimed that tsham :

Statuary is one of the city.s strong
points, and as IL In keeping with the
other things IN the city st Is out OF
the ordinary. The largest single col-
umr1 OF stone In the world stands In
front OF the Winter Palace as q mon-
four feet IN height and weighs about
four hundred tons. It was brought
from Finland on rollers: 1t required
several months and the labors OF one
hundred men to bring It to the CAPT
tail. The statue OF Peter the Great,
which stands near the Admiralty, il
one OF the few successful equestrian
statues In ancient or modern times.
The figure Of the founder OF Petrograd
is eleven feet high. while that of the
horse is seventeen. The horse rcars
on his hind legs just on the brink OF
q precipice after the fashion OF a We
lasquex painting. The idea OF the
statue is to show Peter the Great on
the height OF the city OF his creation
with his hands stretched forth as r.
to protect 1t.
