Indeed it is stated that the board of naval construction has already prepared plans for two different types of battleships, each design calling for a main battery of eight 14-inch gun. In the construction of this initial 14-inch gun for the navy there has been, as is customary with all our naval ordinance, co-operation between a private manufactory and the government ordinance plant. The naval gun factory at Washington does not include a foundation, although congress has been urged several times in recent years to provide this adjunct so that heavy ordinance can be constructed complete under government auspices. The pressure to procure gun canaries from private firms and finish them at the national shops. This procedure is being followed in the case of the 14-inch gun. The contract for the assembled forings was awarded to the Midvale Steel Company early in the present year, the firm being allowed 42 weeks to complete the work and make delivery at Washington, where will be conducted the delicate operations of rifting and chambering the gun, etc. In preparation for handling the 14-inch gun some important changes have been made in the arrangement and equipment of the great naval gun factory on the banks of the Potomac of the most important institutions of the kingdom in the mid-18th century preparations, as they may possibly be termed are but the forerunners of yet more important permanent revision at the big factory. It is the desire of the bureau of ordinance of the navy to enlarge the gun factory buildings and increase the size and power of the machinery equipment to a point where it will be possible to handle all classes of breech-loading rifles up to 17-inch. Of course there are no restrictions on the size of the equipment contemplation, that the navy desires to be prepared for all eventualities. As in a measure indicating the trend of development it may be recalled that the United States war department a few years ago constructed and has mounted on Romer shoal in New York harbor a 16-inch gun. To be sure there were rumors at the time the 16-inch gun was tested at Sandy Hook that the showing made was anticipated, but evidently the material was confident that the deficiencies, if any exist, will be remedied. Other not interpretation can be put on their ambition to be in a position to manufacture 16-inch or even heavier guns. Just here it may be explained that the energy which has been displayed in pushing toward completion the new naval gun is in some measure attributable to that perpetual, inevitable rivalry between the two arms of the service for superiority in the range and power of the gun. The 14-inch guns under construction and two of them had the construction work expedited in every possible manner, but it would not be strange if the navy was enabled to begin its 14-inch --- THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 15. 1910. BORING A BIG GUN FOR THE NAVY gun tests at Indian Head are the army is ready to try out the first of its new heavy-hitters at Sandy Hook, N. J. For the purpose of comparative tests the war department is constructing one of the five 14-inch guns above mentioned as a wired-wound piece, but the other four are built up in accordance with the usual plan of concentric cylinders assembled by shrinkage. This is the practice likewise in the case of the new naval gun. The army is already firmly committed to the 14-inch gun and congress has authorized the construction of four such weapons in addition to the five already mentioned, but work on them has not been commenced. It is the claim of Brig-Gen. William Crozier, who is very progressive chief of ordance of the United States, of the 14-inch gun which it is vastly superior to the 12-inch gun, which is displacing for the defense of wide channels and harbors where the highest power is required. He claims that the army's new 14-inch guns will be capable of firing a greater number of rounds than the 12-inch guns, inasmuch as the same striking force can be imparted to the projectile with less velocity. Rear Admiral N. E. Mason, chief of ordance of the navy, who has personal supervision over the construction of the first 14-inch gun for the defense of this fortune come out so unqualifiedly in favor of the army as has his confession of the army, but Admiral Moore verdict after the tests will be swainted with great interest, for there is no officer in the service more thoroughly conversant with the ordance requirements of the navy. During the greater portion of his naval career Admiral Mason has specialized in ordnance work. A native of Pennsylvania and a member of the graduating class of 1869 at the United States naval academy, the young officer, following a varied experience in sea service in all parts of the world, was in 1884 detailed for ordnance work at the navy yard at Washington. After two years of this service he was given a post in the bureau of ordnance. where he remained for five years. After an interval of sea service he came back to the bureau and from 1893 to 1896 was inspector of ordinance in charge of the naval proving grounds. During the Spanish-American war the present head of the ordinance bureau had an opportunity to study the other side of ordinance work as an officer of the cruiser Brooklyn. After the war he was successively inspector of ordance at the League Island navy yard and at the mast station and latterly was promoted to the highest post in the naval ordinance organization. Another officer of exceptional ability who is playing an influential part in the creation of the navy's new weapon is Rear Admiral E.N.C. Leatze, superintendent of the naval gun factory. Admiral Leatze is a member of Prusia and graduated from the naval academy in 1867. Early in his career he was in charge of surveying parties that went over the Panama and Nicaragua routes. During the Spanish-American war, in command of the Monterey, he was ordered to the relief of Admiral Dewey in Manila bay; was present at the taking of the city of Manila, and took part in several engagements with insurrectionists. It fell to his lot to re-establish the Caville which aided to qualify him for his present position, which he has held, forward of nine years. on one of the largest lathes ever built, the breech mechanism is attached, the breech point the lath work is dredged operationally, and the important operations in connection with construction of the 14-inch gun. To the scope of this work it may be one of the cutting tools in going from end of a jacket hoop travels 12 mi. requires 56 hours for the operation. tension must need be provided to enlarge lath at the naval gun factory commodate the 14-inch gun, but with a tension provided there are several laths in the big plant any of which are capable of this new size weapon. Extreme accuracy in fashioning the 14-inch gun is essential, since the efficiency of the gun is dependent upon uniform diameter of this foundation to which in due course the layers of hose bands are shrunk. The tube contains entire bore in which the big project is the muzzle of 542 inches ere it be more than two one-thousandths of an inch of a straight line if it is to meet mentals and it is fitted with 52 rifles which decrease in width as they are the muzzle and the purpose of which part to the projectile a rotary motif will prevent the missile from turning in flight and thus losing its force. In the eyes of the average layman the navy's tentative adoption of the 14-inch gun appears somewhat revolutionary in view of the fact that it was but a few years ago that the naval authorities seemingly proceeded in the opposite direction by declaring in favor of the 12-inch gun in preference to a 13-inch gun, with which our earliest battleships were equipped. Any inconsistency of policy is, however, apparent rather than real, and the new 14-inch gun will be much more effective in hikking power than either the 12 or 13 inch type. The new gun, with a length of $33\frac{1}{2}$ feet, will excess of 63 tons—that is, 10 tons more than the 12-inch guns built for the new battleships North Dakota and six tons more than the yet more powerful 13-inch guns designed for the new battleships Arkansas and Wyoming. The 14-inch gun, which will hurt a 1,400-pound projectile at a speed of 2,800 feet per second, will have an e Defective Page treme range, of more than 25 miles but what might be termed its effect range, that is, the range at which would engage the enemy in batt conditions, is five miles. The most spectacular operation the construction of this new $100,000-peace-maker," as in the manufacture of all heavy ordnance, is the jacketkin of the method. The method of procedure is to first bore the tube of the gun at finish its outer surface, then finish jacket inside, and then thrust jacket on the tube. As a preliminar to the delicate operation the jacket heated to a temperature of 600 degrees in a cylindrical furnace, occupying a pit 40 feet deep. Air, blow through a furnace where white heat maintained, is forced through an around the jacket for 24 hours. The burning blasts of oil make a roar that completely drowns voices therefore the entire operation is directed by signals and without a work being spoken. After the ponderous jacket has received its baptism of fire the mass of glowing metal is lifted from the heat in furnace by means of a crane which, despite its tremendous power is made of such delicacy of operation that the jacket can withstand a thirty-second of an inch over the tube and lowers it over the tube at the rate of a foot per minute. After the jacket has cooled and shrunk on the tube its outer surface is finished LARGEST SIZE ORDNANCE NAVAL ORDNANCE FACTORY on one of the largest lathes ever built. Later the breech mechanism is attached. From a technical standpoint the lathe work and kindred operations may be considered the most important operations in connection with the construction of the 14-inch gun. To indicate the scope of this work it may be cited that boots in going from end to end of a jacket hood can be required 56 hours for the operation. An extension must needs be provided to enable the largest lathe at the naval gun factory to accommodate the 14-inch gun, but with such extension provided there are several lathes at the big plant any of which are capable of handling this new size weapon. Extreme accuracy in fashioning the 14-inch gun is essential, since the general efficiency of the gun is dependent upon the uniform diameter of this foundation tube, upon which in due course the layers of hoops and bands are shrunk. The tube contains first the entire bore in which the big projectile will travel a distance of 542 inches ere it leaves the muzzle of the gun. This bore should not be used in the case of an unloaded out of a straight line if it is to meet requirements and it is fitted with 52 rifling grooves, which decrease in width as they approach the muzzle and the purpose of which is to impart to the projectile a rotary motion that will prevent the missile from turning lengthwise in flight and thus losing its force. Secondly, the tube contains the powder chamber. The gun the capacity of the chamber is 15,843 caliber but does not accommodate the 366 pounds of smokeless powder which will constitute the full service charge of the new weapon. Interesting as is the construction of the new gun, it will be equaled by the importance of the tests of the monster "shooting iron" at the Indian Head proving grounds. It has been figured that a projectile fired with a full charge, will have a penetrative power at the muzzle of more than 22 inches of the latest Krupp steel armor. At 3,000 yards range the projectile could pierce armor 18 inches thickness, and at 6,000 yards the penetration would embrace everything up to Krupp armor 12½ inches in thickness. At 9,000 yards, an extreme battle range, the penetration will be in excess of 11 inches, which is the thickness of the heaviest armor on modern battleships.

BRUZZI IS COMING BACK Jake Will Visit United States Next Spring Get Miss Elkins' Missouri Washington.—The duke of the Abruzzzi, in a letter to a friend, declares a recent promotion to the vice-admiralty of the Italian navy will not interree with his plans to visit this country early in the spring. According to present arrangements he will each in March. Under the auspices of the National Geographic society he will give four lectures on the ascension of the Asiatic mountain range. These lectures will be given in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington. It is reported here that this visit will take place with the understanding Duke of the Abruzzzi. that he will not be treated as a visiting member of a royal house. This information is said by his friends to indicate a desire to receive a reply from Miss Katharine Elkins. One of her closest friends is authority for the statement that she will have made up her mind by that time as to whether she will yield her hand or not. The report that no less a personage than King Edward was responsible for the additional difficulties in the troubled course of the duke's love making has gained credence from the announcement of the duke's expected visit to America. KERENS HONORED BY TAFT St. Louisan, Who Has Long Been Republican "Wheel Horse." Appointed Minister to Austria. St. Louis.—Richard C. Kerens, whom President Taft has appointed minister to Austria-Hungary, is one of the old "wheel horses" of the Republican party in Missouri. He has battled for years for the success of his party, both as a leader and in the ranks. Thrice has an attempt been made to elect him United States senator. When the Republican party gained control of the state legislature in the election at which Joseph W. Folk, a Democrat, was elected governor, some persons believed Kerens would finally achieve the honor he had sought, but without avail, in the Democratic legislatures. Thomas L. Niedringham, who was national committeeman that year, Richard C. Kerens. however, wanted the place for himself. He entered the lists against Kerens and there was a deadlock which lasted some time. Finally there was a compromise which resulted in the election of William H. Warner of Kansas City. Warner's term will be up next year and should the Republicans regain control of the legislature it was believed Kerens would have a good chance. This may be one of the reasons for his selection as an envoy. Mr. Kerens is a multi-millionaire, aged 69 years, and his home is in Vandeverte place, a thoroughfare three blocks long in which none but millionaires live. He was a member of the Republican national executive committee from 1884 to 1900 and a member of the Republican national committee from 1892 to 1904. He made his fortune in railroad building and the only public office of importance he ever held was as one of the three commissioners on the inter-continental railway commission. Mr. Kerens is a Catholic and in high favor at the Vatican. He was the claptor of the Laetare medal from the University of Notre Dame in 1904. Mr. Kerens has dame a daughter whose friends predict for her a brilliant career in Austrian society. $2.40 PER YEAR REAPER HONOR ROW REAPER HONOR ROW McCormick Families in Dispute Concerning Inventor. Cyrus H. McCormick, Not the Originator of Great Farm Machine, Says Woman in Letter—Son Says He Was. Chicago—The unveiling of the portrait of Cyrus H. McCormick in the Farmers' Hall of Fame in Memorial hall of the College of Agriculture of the University of Illinois at Urbana aroused controversy as to whether the late inventor or his father, Robert McCormick, is entitled to the honor of having invented the reaper. The controversy is being waged among other branches of the McCormick family itself. That the distinction ascribed by history to Cyrus H. McCormick was disputed, apparently within the family, came to the surface when a letter dated at New York and signed "Katherine McCormick" was printed on the editorial page of a Chicago newspaper published by one of the McCormicks. It asserted Robert McCormick invented the reaper. The claim of Cyrus H. McCormick is stanchly defended by his direct descendants in Chicago. At his residence, 50 East Huron street, Cyrus H. McCormick, the inventor of that name, and president of the international Harvester Company, scouted the suggestion contained in the letter of Katherine McCormick. "The claim that Cyrus McCormick did not invent the reaper is too absurd to discuss," said Mr. McCormick. "My father did invent the reaper, but it seems quite unnecessary for me to make such a statement, for it is an historical fact. Robert McCormick, his father, tried to invent a reaper, but failed. He made a few experiments, but they did not result in the production of a practical machine. It was Cyrus McCormick who worked out the idea." Mr. McCormick said he had read the Cyrus H. McCormick. letter signed Katherine McCormick and found its statements incorrect. "Who is Katherine McCormick?" he was asked. "That is what I should like to know myself." "Have you any relatives of that name?" "Yes, there are several. I have no means of knowing whether any of them wrote the letter." The letter which stirred up the controversy, after referring to the unveiling of the portrait of Cyrus H. McCormick, which was to take place the next day, continues as follows: "I hope, however, that the gentleman who will pronounce his eulogy will not fall into the stupid error, which I understand has been made several times recently, that Cyrus H. McCormick invented the reaper. Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick neither invented the reaper nor any essential part thereof, and to the best of my recollection (and I knew him intimately) he made any such claim during his lifetime." The reaper was invented by Robert McCormick of Rockbridge county, Virginia, in the early '30s, and was manufactured with the holp of his son, Leander J. McCormick, fine working, serviceable machines, which he sold to the farmers of Rockbridge county and neighboring counties in goodly numbers until he died in 1845. "His machine was never patented. After his father's death Cyrus H. M. Cormick, following some serious bushness vlicksides in various localities, came to Chicago, and with his brothers, William S. and Leander J. McCormick, established the Chicago man factory of the reaper invented by their father, who enterprise brought suo fide to the form of them." The writer adds a book is being prepared to prove Robert Cormick the real inventor. Talk. Good talk has so much shorthand that it cannot be reported—the inflection, the change of voice, the shrug cannot be caught on paper.

SATURDAY. JANUARY 15, 1910. NEGRESS AN OFFENSIVE TERM. In the recent issue of a daily paper in Washington City a big head line read: "WHITE MAN TO WED NEGRESS." The absurdity of that is made clear by the statement of the man concerning his prospective bride: "I have known the girl ever since she was a foot high. I fully appreciate what I am doing, but I love her. Anyhow, it would take an expert to detect any sign of Negro blood in her. We are going to live in Pittsburgh." The APPEAL does not like the words "Negro" or "Negress." They are misnomers in this country. Afro-American is a broad term, under which may be included all the various mixtures of Negro and Caucasian blood. WILLIAM H. HARRIS Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. HON.

LYNCH LAW NEVER JUSTIFIA- BLE. "FAITHFULNESS AND DEVOTION." We have constantly contended that lynchings are never justifiable, and our contention is frequently sustained by the facts that subsequently come to light when the victim of the mob's thirst for blood is beyond rescue. And, we are not alone in our position in regard to lynching. Referring to a recent lynching, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has this to say: BURNED FOR SELF-DEFENSE. "It appears now that John Howard, the Negro who was burned at the stake in Georgia a few days ago for shooting a white man whose automobile frightened his mules, was not the murderer the mob took him to be. Booth, the white merchant who was shot, first drew his weapon and fired at Howard, who then returned the fire. Both were shot, but the Negro succeeded in getting away, while Booth had to be taken to the hospital. The mob, however, did not stop to investigate, but proceeded to inflict a horrible fate upon the Negro who, evidently, acted in self-defense. That is the inevitable result of lynch law. Under its operations justice is impossible, while the law is defiled and barbarism substituted for civilization. There is no reason to suppose that the guilty murderers of that Georgia horror will ever be brought to justice." [Name] M. B. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster General of the United States.

Postmaster General Hitchcock's first annual report is given to the public. A cursory review of previous periods traces the financial condition of the department from a single year to the colossal boom between the years 1789 to 1810, except for a single year, to the colossal boom the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909. Second-class mail privileges and the rule-free delivery service are blamed for the big deficit, the former to the extent of a loss in its operations of $64,000,000 and the latter of $28,000,000. To give some idea as to the size of the postal service and the magnitude of its operations, the report states that the service now has about 325,000 employees. These employees handled during the last fiscal year nearly 14,000,000,000 pieces of mail. The number of post offices in operation is 60,144. There are 26,652 domestic transportation routes, aggregating 448,618 miles. A delivery service by carrier is provided on 40,628 rural routes, and in 1,440 cities and towns. Ordinarily postage stamps to the number of 8,712,907,031 were sold during the year, and domestic money orders to the value of $401,074,844 were issued.

Including the increase in the total esti mates the total esti mates for 1911 show a decrease of $42,818,969 under the appropriations for 1910." "FAITHFULNESS AND DEVOTION." The Charleston News and Courier says: "The Negro women, of the present day are entirely too frivolous to do anything well. They do not care. Old house servants are few and far between. The modern servant does not stay in one place for a long period. She gets tired and quits, or she wishes a month or two to rest, or something happens. She has no stability, and she is daily proving that the old characteristics of the race—faithfulness and devotion—are passing away. No people in the world save the Southern people would endure the worthlessness of these Negro women." THE APPEAL would remark that the "Negro woman of the present day" are working for money and not upon the "faithfulness and devotion" theory. They wish to be paid enough for their labor to live comfortably, but they are almost invariably forced to labor for a mere pittance, scarcely enough to keep breath in their bodies. Again, the best Afro-Americans refuse to allow their daughters to go out to domestic service, as it exposes them to the advances of dissipated young and old white men and often results in their degradation. The "Negro woman of the present day" very often has a good home of her own to which she can return rather than work for nothing, and she THE NEW YORK TIMES $17,500,000, the largest in the history leading features.

THE APPEAL very rarely concedes with the religious teachings of Prof. Moster of Chicago University, but fails to see that he is at all wrong in the following: "There simply has got to be more truth and more life in our churches or the really religious people themselves will repudiate the churches. Men's eyes are at last open and they see how much that is false, dead, untrue in churchdom, how much of current christendam is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Living religion of living men will endure it no longer." The fact is well known that for a man to participate in a lynching, or in the white slave traffic or in defrauding the government, does not interfere in the slightest degree with his church relationships. It is equally true that were an Afro- Amrican to simply enter into many of the churches and take a seat, the act would be resented by the membership as a most unwarranted intrusion and even the poor white man would be a most unwelcome visitor at many of them. INCONSISTENT AMERICANS A number of eminent Americans recently cabled the Russian premier before speaking "a fair trial, open and public, in accordance with the time-honored principles of justice in all nations" for two distinguished Russian prisoners on the eve of being brought to bar in that country on political charges. Commenting on the foregoing, the Evening Star suggests that the Russian premier might reply as follows: "Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your cable expressing solicitude for two Russian prisoners soon to go on trial on political charges. You ask that the proceedings be conducted in accordance with the time-honored principles of justice in all nations. Scarcely had I finished reading your favor than I was informed that a human being in one of the oldest states of your Union —Georgia, I think, is the name—had but the day before been burned at the Correspondent Billy Stannah S.

Are you citizens of that commonwealth? Or, if not, have you any influence with the authorities there? In either case may I respectfully ask you to exert yourselves in behalf of law and order in Georgia? Civilization, like charity, begins at home. Our conditions in Russia have been disturbed for some time, but we have been trying to improve them. In America you have enjoyed over a hundred years of popular rule. Your body politic is thoroughly organized. You have courts, and officers to enforce their writs. What, therefore, explains such a horror as comes to me from your shores? We have some severe forms of punishment in Russia, but nothing approaching torture and death by fire at the stake, and I beg of you, in the name of justice and humanity, to bring your country in this matter within the pale of civilization!" If every Afro-American in this country would get a copy of the New York Evening Journal of Dec. 17, 1909, and read the reply the editor made to Mr. J. C. Jemmott they would be much helped up. Mr. Jemmott wrote: "I wish you to write an editorial telling us what you think is the primary cause of the supremacy and superior excellence of the white man's civilization over that of the other races of the earth." As the editorial replying is copyrighted we cannot give it in its entirety, but the opening sentence is as follows: "To begin with, we do not see any 'superior excellence' of the white man's civilization, or any other." And then he gives him two columns along the same line. Gate the paper and read it. You will not regret the cost. For many years Americans have been endeavoring to introduce into Cuba the hellish race prejudice which exists in this country. Last Sunday night two Afro-Cuban members of Congress were refused drinks at the Hotel Plaza, an American house in Havana. Monday the clerk of the hotel was arraigned in court and fined $70, and now all comers are served. A Cuban newspaper commenting on the episode, says: "All blacks and whites in Cuba are on a plane of absolute equality. The Americans must be taught by the strong arm of the law that they shall not be permitted to introduce into Cuba the anti-Negro sentiments prevailing in the United States. Most people who are elected to office think that they are chosen as a physician is chosen, because they know what is good for the people better than the people themselves do. Hence they conclude that they have the perfect right to disregard the wishes of the people when the people desire to do some wrong thing. Under the same presumption a political party solemnly draws up a platform simply regarding it as a huge joke, and not binding upon the party nor any member thereof. The old idea that an official should be governed by the wishes of his constituents no longer holds. William Elliot Griffin in the North American Review lauds the statesmanship of Ito, "who redeemed a pollution of eight million Koreans living in chronic poverty." Its redemption of Korea resembles the work of the Southern slaveholders who held millions in bondage for their "own good" as they were wont to express it. The Koreans have been persecuted, deprived of their civil and political rights and their country stolen. That sort of "redemption" didn't please the Koreans so one poor fellow who had felt the heel of the oppressor, killed Ito. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Declaring that, notwithstanding the great activities in every branch of the department, the appropriations during the last four years for the entire department have been increased only 3.2 per cent, the report adds: "If the appropriations are to be held at the present figures, it will become necessary to make a dollar to go farther than it has." The big bugs have so arranged matters that the testimony in divorce cases is now sealed up and not revealed to the public. The law permits this out of respect to the "high social standing" of certain persons, when the publication would endanger public morals. Are not the courts becoming a little too complaisant? According to reports old Zelaya could almost give points to the Sugar Trust or the Standard Oil Company. He held up everything in Nicaragua, "comin' and goin'." He has a host of imitators in the United States. President Taft has reappointed Hon. Robert H. Terrell as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia and the Senate promptly condemned the appointment. Patrick Calhoun, a grandson of the great South Carolinian, John C. Calhoun, is on trial in San Francisco for offering to bribe a member of the Board of Supervisors. Blood will tell. So long as the Solid South has about forty representatives in Congress based upon the Afro-American population, the Solid South will not be broken. ```markdown ``` Elevate Building. Boy's Hall.

Terns thus: A chorus lady of the comnany who had already signed for the season but failed to put in ap- pearance at rehearsals, showed up at the train on its first move to its open- ing point and was about to enter the car when Mike spied her. “Where ave you going.” said Mike, “with the show,” she said. “Oh, no,” said Mike. “Then you will have to give me two week notice as my “contact ealle for.” she said, Whereupon’ Mike smiled and, re- marked, “AML right.
