NEW FINDER FOR
USE ON VESSELS
New Device Gives Latitude of
Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24-With the
transfer Of Capt. Robert Morris, for the
past two years assistant cOmmandant Of
the Twelfth Naval district to a post at
the Naval War College, Newport, R. l.,
popularity known in the Navy as "ths
preparatory school for admirals,' 1t be-
came known that Captain Norris is the
discoverer of the simplfed method fog
finding the latitude OF a ship. The dis
coverer, made famous be the controversy
that ragged following the announcement
OF the method through observation of the
star Polaris and now universally used at
sea- remained unnamed until now.
It was while serving as navigator of
the battleship Kansas that Captain Nor
ris made the discovery, worked out and
fully proved the system and then sub
mitted it to the Navy Department.
At the time Captain Morris made his
discovery it was universally condemned
by astronomers, and its advocacy by the
Navy Department at Washington started
CONTROVERSY that was bitterly wage1
between the ''theoreticals' and the 'prac-
ticals" and did not quiet down until IL
was suddenly ended by the substitution
of Captain Morris's method for the as
tronomers' method in the Nautical Alma
nae, the authoritative guide book uni
versally followed by practical naviba
tors.
Scarcely understandable to the lands
man. Captain Morris discovery differs in
its departure from the now obsolete
methods of the astronomer in this: II
uses table which is entered by using
the local "sidereal time instead of the
hour angle"-the latter being the as
tronomers method--a quicker operation
by many minutes and saving, it Is esti-
mated. more than 748,S 500 minutes of work
daily for the worlds navigators at sea.
Captain Morris has an interesting and
enviable naval record. He was graduated
from Annapolis in 1900 and has served ac-
lively in the Navy in all parts of the
world He commanded three transports
during the World War notably the 81
honey, which fought the German sub
marines to a standstill of the coast Of
France on two occasions.
For exceptionally merltorious con-
duct" on those occasions he was award
ed the United States Navy Cross and by
the President of France, Chevalier of the
Legion Of Honor.
Captain Morris is famed in the Navy
as an au-around officer of engineering
ability as well as a practical line officer.
He was turret officer Of the old U. S. $.
California for two years after she was
commissioned in 1907. He was executive
officer of the naval training station IN

SUGGESTS METHOD
OF SETTLEMENT.

Mr.. McAdoo suggested settlements with
the railroads be effected by funding for
ten years the difference between the
amount which tho railroads owe the Gov
eminent and which the Government owes
the railroads. This difference Ia
estimated at 1893, COOS 600.
but the President proposes new
plan" he continued. namely 10 defer for
ten years at per cent interest ths eE
tire S763. 0O0, 900 due by the carriers to
the United States and to pay the carriers
in cash $500. 100000 for alleged under
maintenance claims. The President as
sures us this involves "a No added In
Vestment;' 90 no added liability '(3) no
added tax burden
There is an added Investment Of
taxpayers money amounting 20
$500. 0O0, 900 because instead OF on
setting or canoelling $500, 900, 900 with
an equal amount of the debt the rail-
roads owe the United States, the
Treasury will have to pay the rail-
roads $500. 900 of new money.
There Is an added liability OF
$500, zoo. 600 because the Treasury
must continue to lend that sum to
the railroads. some with good and
some with poor credit and q large
loss may finally result Thus, II the
United States now cancels $500, 0O0,-
900 with n part OF the debt which
the railroads owe II. at least to the
extent Of $500. 600. 900. the chance Of
loss or liability viii be removed.
There will be an added tax bur-
dem unless the advances and all In
tsrest thereon are finally paid by the
railroads because there Is way for
the United States TO get $500 00O, 600
for the railroads except by taxation.
unless IL bOrrows on Treasury GER
tilcstes OF indebtedness-the same
thing, because these must be paid
ultimately out of taxation
Mr. McAdoo reminded Stanley that
'in addition to the S1,144000,O00 the
railroads owe the Government for
additions and bettermehts,' they hav
received additional loans under thu
Esch -Cummins bill Of about $780,
100000, making a total Of S1,144000.-
600. and declared that the public mind
should not be confused by juggling OF
figures, manipulation of accounts or
securities, or governmental agencies"
