YANKEE GUNNERS THE BEST

A Washington dispatch to the Sunsays Admiral Capps chief of theBureau of Construction of the Navyhas just made before the Naval Affairs

I Committee of the house of represen-tatives

¬

t a most interesting comparisonbetween the probable firing efficiency-of the American battleship fleet andthe Japanese battleships

I Admiral Capps has been discussingI the great efficiency and rapidity thatI the men on American battleships had j

shown at their target practice Thencomparing the efficiency of the Amer ¬

ican gunners at target practice withthe most done by the Japanese gun-ners

¬

in the late war with Russia heI said that it was worthy of note thatthe maximum number of shots firedfrom any 12inch gun of the Japsfleet during the first days fighting atthe battle of Tsushima has been as-

sumed¬

as only seventyfive while anauthority who states that his infor ¬

mation Is most reliable says that for ¬

ty shots for each 12inch gun was theaverage-

As the first days fighting lasted formore than five hours the average rateof fire even assuming the gun fire tohave been interrupted for half thetime by smoke haze or the maneuver ¬

ing of the fleet could not have ex¬

ceeded one shot in two minutes on thebasis of the maximum estimate ofshots fired and the little more thanone shot in four minutes if we acceptas true information which is reported-to be accurate

Recent target practice rates for the12inch guns in the United Statesnavy have approached one shot inthirty seconds or four times the max ¬

imum rate reported for the Japs atTsushima As the possible rate offire of the Japs guns was at least oneshot per minute there were obviouslygood reasons for a comparatively slowrate of fire reasons which will prob ¬

ably always exist except with bestpossible weather and target range

I conditionsOf course it is not expected that

I

the marvelous rapidity of fire attain ¬

I ed at target practice can be whollyduplicated in battle but the compari-son

¬

indicates that in spite of the un ¬

stinted praise that has been heapedupon the Japs navy until the mikadoshead has apparently been turned theAmerican gunners could have nothingto fear

HARD CASES TO HANDLE

After having declined to express hisviews on the recent message sent toCongress by President Roosevelt andalso on the speech delivered by GovHughes of New York the same dayUnited States Attorney General Chas-J Bonaparte dictated the following toa World reporter

There is one matter howeverabout which I can speek with knowl-edge

¬

If great clusters of corporations-such as the Standard Oil Company-and the Tobacco Trust the PowderTrust and our well known railroadsystems are not to be punished byfines imposed on convicted corpora-tions

¬

I this means that in ninetyninecases out of one hundred they willnot be punished at all It is often pos ¬

sible to obtain legal proof on which toconvict the corporation when it wouldbe altogether Impossible to obtain ev¬

idence to satisfy a jury against anyone of its superior officers This state ¬

ment may seem a little strange topersons inexperienced in criminal iiwbut a lawyer who has to enforce Wichstatutes as the antitrust laws willsoon learn its truth

Attorney General Bonaparte declar-ed

¬

that the government would pushall trust cases as expeditiously as pos-

sible¬

With reference to the Harri-man suit in Salt Lake Mr Bonapartesaid

The suit will most probably reachthe United States supreme court Itmay not however be argued beforethe court during my term as attorneygeneral though I hope so I am doing-all in my power to expedite the caseThese court cases move slowly-

Is there any immediate prospect of-

a final decision in the case of theStandard Oil Company upon which aheavy fine was imposed by JudgeLandis

The delay in this case has arisenthrough no fault of the governmentsCounsel for the Standard Oil Companyasked the court of appeals to certify-to certain questions to be carried tothe supreme court

Mr Bonaparte explained that thehalt in his departments procedureagainst the Harvester Trust was due-to the fact that the Interior Depart ¬

ment was now investigating that trustat the request of the senate-

Do you consider that one of theaims of President Roosevelts admin ¬

istration is to place investments in ¬

cluding of course all securities upon-a more solid and legitimate basis-

I do and I think that his aim willbe more generally recognized and ap ¬

plauded the more generously when itis understood
