STARTED SCHOOL FIGHT
Hans, Son of Teacher-Mother,
Judged Best Boy in Richmond.

There's danger in roofing in the game
of mother-bai now that Hans Wsg-
ner has won his spurs and is champion
ing the mothers team. Hans is six
teen months old, and is the son of Mrs.
Lora VI. Wagner. teacher-mother. and
it was for championing him by writing
the following letter for the Coming
Tower at the time of his birth that
Miss Henrietta Rodman was suspended
by the Board of Education:
Now that the Braves have cracked
under the strain-or haven't they-and
the tennis season is over-or isn't il?
Never mind Won't you come with me,
anyway. to see a game of mother-b bait
ing? The next one will be played at
the Hall Of the Board of Education, on
Wednesday, at O'clock. The majority
Of the members of the Board Of Educa-
tion are expected TO play on one side,
and on the other. two women, each with
baby a few days cd. The object OF
the game H. 20 kick the mothers out OF
their positions in the public schools. 1t
viii be played according to the rules
Of the Board Of Education
Hans was tiny fve-pounder when
born under twilight sleep" on October
81, 1914. and his frailty was ascribed TO
the strain undergone by his mother
who continued 70 teach until two days
before his birth. He was not expected
TO live.
Yesterday he took the prize in Tot
tenville. Staten Island. as the finest
baby in Richmond Borough in the

CAPTAIN Tells House Com
mittee Nine Ships Should
Be Built.
COMMENDS SELECTION
RULE FOR OFFICERS
soft Snap for Unambitious,
He Tells the House Naval
Committee.

Washington. March 1i-Immediate
construction Of eight or nine battle
cruisers to provide an element o.
strength now sadly lacking in the
American fleet was urged before the
House Naval Committee to-day by Cap
tain Sims, commanding the battieship
Nevada.
The captain also advised the building
of many additional destroyers. He
said that while much had been ac-
complished toward making armored
ships less vulnerable to torpedoeg
there had been no solution Of the prob
lem Of protecting a feet against tor
pedo attack in open sea Therefore, n >
said. the navy should have plenty OF
fast craft 70 chase off destroyer an
submarine enemies.
Much information was given the com
mittee by the witness concerning the
navies of the world and their lrepara
ticns. He said il was improbable that
any great expedition against the
United States ever would start from
the other side Of the Atlantic. but that
some point in the West Indies probably
would be used as 4 base. lie strongly
indorsed the Navy Departments pro
possl to promote officers by selection
instead of seniority.
Captain Sin nr 'nted out that in the
British navy Of Gers may attain cap
tain's rank at thirty-five years and be-
come rear admiral at forty-five. The
present commander IN chief Of the
British navy. Admiral Jellico. he said
is about forty-fOur American naval
officers under the present system ar
close to sixty by the time they become
rear admirals. lie said this should Dc
remedied.
The navy is soft snap to those
who are not ambitious" he said, "bu'
deadly 10 the ambitious ones. As a
military proposition this safe situation
is absolutely rotten; from social
standpoint it is excellent, and as soft
snap it's a peach
CAPTAIN Sims said Secretary Daniels
was the first Secretary of the Navy
upon whom those favoring promotion
by selection had made any impression
IF he puts il across" said the cap
tain. che will stand out above all other
Secretaries of the Navy, for it will
mean a tremendous increase in nayaI
efficiency"
The witness referred 10 what y,
called frightful mistakes in the turre'
designs Of the Kentucky and other pre-
dreadnoughts. whose sloping turret de-
signs made them particularly vulner
able to long range fire under Tn
changed gunhre conditions Of recent
years.
Before the committee began its hear,
ing to-day Chairman Padgett conferred
with President Wilson, who urged him
to speed up work on the naval appro-
priation bill. The chairman said he OK
pectcd the hearings to be concluded
within two weeks.
Thomas A. Edison and other experts
will appear tomorrow to tell the com
mttee of the necessity of erecting .
great experimental laboratory here ~
which to work out naval problems.
