POINDEXTER PROBING
MUNITION RING PLOT

after tests which Gathmann
claims were faxed, and on which
he swears false and misleading
reports we're made by the off,
GERS concerned. This testimony
has just been printed.
The committee is headed by
Miles Poindexter of Washington,
and includes Senators william s.
Kenyon of Iowa, George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska and Harry Lane
of Oregon. There could not well
be a better combination for get
ting at the facts.
Different Types Of Shells.
The whole question turns on
the comparative efficiency of high
explosive, as compared with ar
mor-piercing shells.
In 1901 congress appropriated
$50,550 to enable the secretary
of war to make a comparative
test of destructive energy be-
tween the Gathmann torpedo gun
and the army's 12-inch gun
against two similar targets.
Gathmann swears that 80 wit
nesses and the official photo
graphs will reveal the fact thai
The Gathmann target was made
100 per cent larger, and probably
500 per cent stronger, than the
army target. He declared that
the official report states the tar
gets to have been the same In all
respects.
Charges classification.
His most important testimony
refers to the report Of the results
of the tests as made by the army
officials. He points out that the
report fails to mention the fact
that the whole armor plate was
forced back fully 10 inches,
which," he says, ION a vessel
would have forced in the side of
the ship, causing 1t to sink from
the inflow of water" Instead,
they reported that "had this pro-
jectile struck the belt armor of
a battleship, which the target
represented, 1t would not have
endangered the vessel" .
On the other hand, in reporting
on the effect of the 12-inch ar
mor-piercing shell fired from the
army service gun, the officers
said: "The plate was forced back
bodily about three-fourths of an
inch. 1t is evident that had this
shot struck battleship 1t would
have wrought serious damage t,

1.-THE officers" said Gathmann
to the committee, here eoncede
that the movement OF an armor
plate on a ship of even three,
fourths of an iuch would havE
wrought serious damage, and yet
they suppressed the fact that the
Gathmann armor moved at all,
when, in fact, 1t moved 10 inches
to the rear"
When charges were brought
that this test had been unfairly
conducted, the same Joint board
which conducted the tests, with
the addition of three more off,

yield on the John Heitzman farm will

bushels Of seed. He has just COM

of flax from this land. an average Of
q bushels per acre, which at the mar
ket price of 1852 brings him 5000
