Corrosion of the lead plates in the
batteries of the F-4, IL not the primary
cause Of the disaster to that craft here
last March. was found by the navy
board Of investigation to have pro-
ceeded so far as to render the craft
unseaworthy. and coded cable advices

Examination of the F-4 here after
she was raised showed that in the
batteries the lead plates were cor
roded clear through In places and that
corrosion existed In the protecting
steel plates in several places. Lest
similar -corrosion of the plates of the
other F boats might have proceeded
so far as to make them unsafe, Sec

runs until after an examination has
been made at Mare Island.
The F boats will be towed to San

auxiliary vessels, which are to bring

harbor late this afternoon from the
coast. The San Francisco trip and

to be directly due to the conditions
found on the salvaged F-4, conditions

II has been learned that in order
to get at the lead battery plates Of

terror steel plates will first have to be
removed, and this work can best be
done at Mare Island. From conditions
found on the F-4, which were so Sc

is understood to have been consider

major cause of the disaster, it will sur

FIRST ELECTRIC
DREADNOUGHT TO

Keel of Giant California Laid
at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard
Associated Press b. Federal wireless1

ASSOCIATED Press tT Federal Wireless
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct 1.-THE
keel of the battleship California was
laid today at the Brooklyn navy yard.
The California, the first electric dread
nought in the world, will cost at least
SIS, 100000 when completed.
The new battleship California in
point of size will be greater than any
foreign battleship built or building.
The California and her two sister
ships, the Mississippi and the Idaho,
already authorized, will each displace
1000 tons, almost 1000 tons more
than the new dreadnought Pennsylva-
mia, now on the way to completion.
The California will be ship of in
novations She will cost $7,800,000
without her armOr or armament,
which will cost as much more. She
will have speed of 81 knots an hour,
will be 624 feet long, 81 feet across
her beam and will draw 80 feet Of
water She will carry IL 14-inch guns
mounted three abreast in a turret, %
five-inch rapid fire guns and will
have four submerged torpedo tubes.
The principal feature OF the new
dreadnought, however, is the machin-
cry for propelling her by electricity.
She will be driven by motors which
will deliver electricity made by steam.
The navy experts believe the electric
installation is cheaper than steam
propulsion and reduces the weight of
machinery. The collier Jupiter has

Richard Ramos, the young Filipino
who, late yesterday afternoon, was
given a full and complete pardon by

refused to see him.
"The pardon was not a personal

Governor iPinkham when explaining
his action.

EXPLAINING DREAD OF DEATH
Suspension Of All Familiar Activities
Is Something the Mind Instructive
Iy Shrinks From.

1t Is the variety of experience which
makes life interesting-to and rest,
pain and relief hope and satisfaction,
danger and security. II we once re-
move the idea of vicissitude from life,
1t all becomes an indolent and unin-
spring affair.
It is the process of change which is
deligAtful-the finding out what We
can do and what we cannot-going
from ignorance to knowledge. from
clumsiness to skill Even our rela-
lions with those whom we love are all
bound up with the discoveries we
make about them, and the degree in
which we can help them and affect
them.
What the mind instinctively dislikes
is stationariness; and an existence in
which there was nothing to escape
from, nothing more to hope for, to
learn, to desire, would be frankly un.
endurable.
The reason why we dread death is
because it seems to be suspension OF
all our familiar activities. 1t would
be terrible to have nothing but mem.
DRY to depend upon.
The only use Of memory is that 1t
distracts US little from present con
ditions if they are dull, and it is only
too true that the recollection in sor.
row of happy things is torture of the
worst kind.

ROGUES' MARCH is OLD TUNE
Believed to Have Been Played by the
British Army Earlier Than the
Eighteenth Century.

A very characteristic and lively mill,
tary quickstep, which dates from early
In the eighteenth century, is what is
now known as the Rogues' March. The
name was given to it because it was
customary to play it when a soldier
was expelled or drummed out of the
English army. This was the penalty
incurred for various crimes. that of
theft being the prevailing offense that
gave the air its especial name of the
Rogues' March. The ceremony that
took place when such an offender was
to be punished is quite ancient. and
consists in the culprit having the but
tons bearing the regimental number
and all other military decorations cut
off his uniform, and then being
marched to the music of drums and
flies playing the march to the gates Of
the barracks and then kicked or
thrust outside. The exact date of the
Inauguration of this military punish
ment is not known, but is conjectured
to be older than the eighteenth CEN
fury. 1t is still in use in the British
army, and the air of the march al
ways played on such occasions has
been occasionally utilized for such old
songs as Abraham Newlands," Rob
inson Crusoe" and "The Tight Little
Island"
