BATTLESH|PS RIP
 l0-MILE TARGETS
U. s. Navy Gunners Show Their
 Worth Off Guantanamo

Washington, April 1S.-Vice-Admir- tleship squadron of the Atlantic fleet, reported to Secretary Daniels on the results of the battle target practice held by his ships near Guantanamo. The battleships, he said, ripped away moving targets at range Of lS,OOO yards, more than ten miles. This IS the longest range at which the fleet ever fired in target practice, accord ing to Secretary Daniels.
 Admiral Mayo also reported that the spirit of the officers and crews never had been better and that all felt much had been accomplished in the way of generally improving the efficiency of the fleet. The records made in the bat tie practice are to be kept secret, but MT. Daniels said they were records of which the navy might well be proud.
 Secretary Daniels seemed to be un- der the impression that scoring hits at ten or eleven miles range was without precedent either in the United States or any othr navy. Thi, however, is disputed by ordnance officers who have been following the European war. The British battle cruiser Lion, they say, began to hit the German cruiser Bluecher at a range of sixteen miles in the North sea running fight last year. Even before the war both the British and German navies have held target practice at a range of ap- proximately 18,OOO yards.
 Vice-Admiral Mayo reported that only two minor incidents marred the s,,ootb running of the fleets target nractice program. The guns of the hattleship Michigan suffered from two split hoops, which prevented that ship from making a better score and one Of inc guns of the battleship Arkansas, Vice-Admiral Mayo's flagship, had trouble with the inner tubes.

WAITE WRITES HE
 STILL LOVES WIFE
Says She Is Always First in His
 Prayers

Grand Rapids, Mich., April 1S.- Mrs. Clara Louise Peck Waite has re- ceived a letter written in Bellevue hos pital, New York, by her husband, Dr. Arthur Waite, who killed her parents, MT. and Mrs. John F. Peck, which is filled with expressions of love, regret and sympathy. Dr. Waite wrote in part as follows according to Francis x. Mancuso, as- sistant district attorney of New York, who is here seeking evidence to be used at Waite's trial.
 "I can give no explanation and any excuses or words from me would be paradoXical x x would make things worse. My brain is clearer today. I seem to be free now of some of the awful things that used to blur it and fool me so. Poor little girl x I realize what an awful thing this haunting spectre has brought about for you.
 DO not try to forgive me xxx it would be impossible. My brain is purged at last. I am ready to meet my Maker if that should come and if not I shall do my silent thought and in whatever way l can conceive to make a little amends to the poor crushed soul of what was my Clara
 Waite wrote that his wife might un- controllably hate him and then says q love you still, oh, so much. All my prayers are offered with your name first Poor, poor Clara!'
 MT. Mancuso declared that Walte's letter is merely an attempt to carry out his insanity plea.
 Assistant District Attorney Dooling obtained yesterday from R. & B. Tlm- merman, druggists. SOP Lexington avenue the original bottle from which pr, Waite got 93 grains of arsenic on March g. The bottle contained lO5 grains at the time of the purchase and no arsenic has been sold from it since. The quantity, Waite bought was sufh- cient to kill fifteen men,
 Robert Schmadel, the drug clerk, said that Waite appeared to be ratlon- al when he asked for arsenic, saying lie wanted to kill a cat. Ills call 1ol- lowed a telephone message, supposeo- ly from Dr. Richard w. Miller, ask inc the druggist to let Waite have the poison.

Manager B. L.. Thane, of the Alas. ka Gastineau Company stated today that in the future only persons hav- ing business in the Perseverance Mine will be allowed 10 enter the workings. No visitors will be taken through, or allowed to go into the workings unless the occasion is some thing very special.
 "There are hundreds of people who wish to visit the mine" said Mir. Thane. This is especially true during the summer tourist season and in the past we have been try ing Go accommodate them. But in order to receive visitors 1t has been necessary to arrange special ears. or trains, special operating of the hoist, and for guides. In many cases it has proven a severe detriment 10 the work in the mine to have visitors.
 cWe were unable 10 decide where to draw the line in the matter. Ev- cry persons feels that their right to visit the mine is as good as others so orders have been issued prohibit ing all visitors.
 "The mill at Thane is entirely different Visitors can go through without interfering in any way with the operation of the plant but no more will be allowed to visit the Perseverance Mine, unless on spec ial invitation Of one of the com pany officials"
