Secretary Daniels submits Report TO
House on Recent Test % New
Explosive She'll

WASHINGTON. Feb 2.-Secretary
Daniels sent 20 the house today = re-
port from a SPECIAL board OF naval Of
dcers expressing the opinion that the
nayys preparedness for war would be
ieopardized by the Hohson amendment
oche pending naval appropriation
bill forbidding the purchase OF twelve
or fourteen in armor piercing shells
unless Il T. demonstrated that they
can pierce ten inch armOr al 1900
yards.
This amendment was adopted by the
house several DAYS aEo. but probably
will be voted on again when the bill
Is advanced TO the point Of final pas
sage The house spent all Of today
on the measure and remained In ses-
sion until late tonight. most OF the
debate centering upon the provision
which would abolish the so-called
"plucking board"
Mr. Daniels also submitted a report
Of the board on recent tests OF a high
explosive shell which has been urged
as a substitute for the armor piercing
projectile. . II follows:
Fell Short Of Claims.
The board OF torpedo shell has
the honor TO report that in its opinion
the experiments held with the lsham
shell on January 27th were not con
elusive. and fell short of demonstrate
ing that the Isham shell can be consid-
cred an effective weapon OF naval war
fare. All the shells richochetted that
fell at distances OF 5000 yards or
less Out of seven fuses only two
operated correctly: and the shell be-
ing filled with black powder only. no
proof was given that IL high explosive
had been in the shell IL would have
been detonated by safe means. The
experiments. however. are TO be con-
tinued"
Kills "PIueking Board"
The provision 10 abolish the pluck
ing board" and authorize the presi-
dent TO restore 10 the service officers
retired by the board was adopted to-
night at the close of a long debate.
All new legislation including provi-
sions for the creation OF temporary
grades OF admiral and vice-admiral.
for the creation of a naval reserve and
10 set aside 100000 for aeronautics,
were stricken out of the bill
Il had been expected that the new
legislation would be defeated by
points OF order or otherwise in the
house. and the administration forces
expect to have II re-inserted when the
bill reaches the senate. II presented
in the form of a conference report, IL
would be immune from points OF
order
Majority Leader Underwood led the
fight for abolition OF the plucking
board. He declared the board was
based on a false theory. and that the
navy should not drive out OF the ser
vice good men in order to promote
others.
