his steel coming tower to direct the
fighting.
If the control room is the hottest
place on board, the coming tower is,
perhaps, the most dangerous. These
are the two spots towards which most
of the enemy's FIRE is directed, and
the chances are against either place
remaining intact If the battle is Of
even moderate duration.
An example of how gunners always
try to destroy the head and heart Of
opposing warships is furnished by
the terrific battle of Tsushima in the
Russo-Japanese war.
On one of the Russian battlehips
the admiral and the captain we're both
killed in the coming tower within
five minutes of the first shot being
fired. Up came the second in COM
mand to take charge Before he could
get proper view of the situation a
shell crashed through the coming
tower again. This time not only the
second in command was killed, but
also all the other officers in the tower.
The quartermaster saw what had
happened and telegraphed the dis
aster to the control room; then, gath
ering together some junior officers, he
ran to the tower through a hail OF
grapeshot and bullets.
The only officer who could take
charge was a young fellow, and he
was not used to the business Of war.
He found the coming tower filed
with mangled remains, and he tainted
on the spot. Somebody roared a mes
sage down the speaking tube for both
engines to be reversed, for by this
time the warship was drifting toward
the enemy.
But before the order could be
obeyed another projectile tore a great
gap in her side, and the water rushed
into her boiler room. In a twinkling
the ship was half filled. She drifted
to the Japanese, full Of dead and dy-
ing men, her colors trailing in the
water. In less than fifteen minutes
she had been reduced from a spic and
span inronclad to a waterlogged, help
less derelict.
Then the men in the control room
were taken out, all dead. They had
| literally died in the heart Of their
ship.-London Answers.

Packers Denied Rehearine.

When the Missouri supreme court
en- banc convened for the call of the
April docket, several important mo-
lions were disposed of. One was the
application for a rehearing filed by
the five packing companies recently
found guilty of violations of the anti
trust laws and fined $4,000 each. Re-
hearing is denied in all of the cases.
This terminates the proceedings SO
far as the states courts are concerned
and the mandate of the court for the
collection of the fines and costs will
be issued in due course, unless there
should be an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, in which
event it would act as stay in the
collection of the fines.
The companies which were fined
are the Armour Packing Company,
Swift G. Co., Morris & Co., the Ham
mond Packing Company and the St.
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
Company All of the judges con-
CURED in the denial of the motion for
another hearing, except Judge Henry
w. Bond, who dissented.
In addition to filming the companies
there was judgment of custer in the
quo warranto proceedings, but the
custer was stayed so long as the com
panies are guilty of no further viola.
ton of the antitrust laws.
