constructed at the Watertown arsenal
and which will permit its being CIV
en- an elevation Of thirty degrees. It
is proposed to construct many more
guns OF the same general type and to
rush their construction as rapidly as
possible.
The second gun OF sixteen-inch cal
ibre belongs to the navy and while
It's tests, which have been conducted
at the Indian Head testing grounds
on the Potomac river, have ben abso-
lutely satisfactory, no decision In re-
gard to its use has yet been arrived
at. 1t was built largely in the way
of experiment and the majority OF the
American naval officers hold that its
tremendous weight, as compared
with the fourteen-inch gun, which Is
our navy standard. is more than
counter-balanced by the additional
number Of smaller guns which may
be mounted on dreadnought.
Improved Rangc-Finder.
The most important problem along
these same lines-the use Of sixteen
inch guns and mortars in place OF
the fourteen-inch and twelve-inch
types respectively--is for the signal
corps to solve, rather than the coast
artillery. This is range-finding and
signalling system that will come close
to perfection. The difficulties that
are encountered in this line are hard
to estimate. When a gun Of this size
Is fired at vessel twenty miles
away, the target is totally hidden by
the curvature of the earth's surface
from the officers in direct charge of
its manipulation. The location OF the
target, therefore, must be given
from either scouting aeroplane or
dirigible far out at sea and the di-
rections must be precise.
In view of this the officers Of the
signal corps, especially those con-
nected with It's aviation branch are
spending every possible moment in
bringing to perfection an entirely
new set of instruments, through
which the observer in an aeroplane.
travelling at from sixty to ninety miles
an hour. will be able to plot the ex-
act position of the hostile vessel that
is approaching our shores and to sig
nal the information to the fortiflca-
lions with such speed and accuracy
that the great shells, weighing over
ton each and filled with the high
est of explosives, will be able to
reach their mark. The results of this
work are being kept secret, but 1t
Is understood that success has been
achieved and that our aviators have
in their possessions instruments of
the most delicate kind that will do
their work and do it we'll.

GOVERNOR DENIES
ANY INTER FERENCE
IN THE RATE CASE

matters before the commission. the
governor stated, among which was the
Manufacturers Light and Heat case
and that he asked when they would
be able to decide the case and II was
ascertained that the evidence was oil
in and that decision would be reach
ed in short time. The governor
stated that the question Of rates was
not discussed at this meeting, and
nothing was said or done except that
which was necessary to expedite the
business.
The cross examination OF the COVER
nor was very brief by Attorney Well,
who made no headway in the cross
examination. and only a few ques-
tons we're asked him, the ones asked
only concerning some letters OF gen
eral instruction tending to expedite
the work OF the commission, and Moth
ing was developed by the cross exam
nation to show interference with the
work of the commission in any partic-
ular.
The surprise OF the hearing was
that Attorney We'll asked the COVER
nor so few questions and the large
crowd Of spectators who had come
out to hear the governors testimony
left the court room as soon as Gov
trnol' Hatfield left the witness chair.
che governors replies to Attorney
We'll seemed to put the lawyer on the
defensive and his usual tactics on
cross examination were abandoned,
ard after brief consultation with
assC ciate counsel, he decided to drop
the cross examination. apparently be-
fore he had half finished and before
he had covered the ground gone over
by the state in the direct examination.
The hearing OF testimony for the
state was begun here the latter part
Of December and was adjourned over
for the holidays until the present
time. At the December hearing, the
testimony OF Commission Lee OFT, and
former public service commissioners
Charles Bronson and Wade c. Kilmer
was heard. These commissioners all
stated most emphatically and posi-
lively that there was no interference
with the decision Of the public serv-
ice commission in the case by Cover
nor f1atfield which the gas company
has attempted to prove. The severest
cross Examination by the counsel for
the gas company failed to weaken
their testimony in any particular and
che result OF the hearing was COM
rlete victory for the state and the vim
dication OF Governor Hatfield in the
matter.

ARTILLERY
10 HAVE LONG
RANGE GUNS
General Staff Plans to Build
Them if Congress Fur
nishes the Money.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Guns that
will not only shoot twenty-five miles
but be acurate at that distance, are
to DO provided for the coast artillery
II the present plans OF the general
staff are put through and Congress
provides the money. These guns,
which will be of sixteen-lnch calibre
End mounted on disappearing car
riages, are to replace the guns at pres
ent In many of the most important
harbOr Notifications of the country.
They will also have the additional fea-
turc, which very few of the present
large guns have, OF being placed on
carriages which will turn in circle,
thus being available for use against
an attack from the rear.
The use of the new slxteen-inch
guns, according to a high army otilc-
ial, has been made possible only
through the great improvements Of the
last two years in aviation. Up to that
time It was thought useless to install
coast defense guns that had range
OF over ten miles. on account OF the
