The board was headed by Admiral VreeLand of the Navy, and Included Colonel William M. ttlack. of the Corps of Engineers of the Army. It be ran work on the exposed wreck at Harana on November ! and found that 4he In juries to the bottom of the Main were rauaed by the detonation of a charaa of a low form of explosive outside the ship, between frames 2 5 and Si. on the portelde. This reaulted In the Ignition and explosion of the contents of th six-Inch reserve maraxlne. The mora or less complete explosion of the con tents of the remaining forward ni xlnea followed. Th board. In Its report, emphasised that It found that what Is called th port aarboard strake.

Tws KiflnloM IMffereat. The destruction wrought h- th two "explosions of distinctly different char acter" was "found to be much more extensive than had been anticipated." Th report. In technical terme, ahowed how plates were crumpled, how some portions of what had once been a great hattieahlp were turned Inside out. and how parts of the bottom works gen erally were displaced. "The debris of one-pounders, slx pounders. six-Inch and ten-Inch ammu nition waa found widely - scattered through the wreck." the report said. "The location of much of this material bore little relation to Its original stowage condition. Powder tanks wer torn asunder or crushed and flattened.

Th Main explosion occurred al most 14 rears ago. In that disaster two officers and 2(4 of her crew per ished. Th report, perfunctorily, was or dered printed and referred to the na val affairs committees of the two houses. REDUCED DUTY FAVORED Tarirr Hoard Will Justify Measure of Protection for Wool. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec 14. It Is learned from ap parently reliable sources that the tariff board In Ita report to the President on the cost of growing wool In the l ilted States and abroad, will make a showing which will Justify a protec tive duty on scoured wool of the first and second class of about 20 cents a pcund. a reduction of about 33 per cent from the. present rates. It la believed, however, that th actual protection given American wool growers will not be reduced 23 per cent, for under the proposed new schedule the skirting clause probably will be eliminated. It Is under this clause that high-grade woola are now brought in under the low grade classi fication, thus depriving the wool grower of same protection he' Is sup posed to receive under the existing law.

In other words, the La Follette boomers are for Roosevelt first and for La Follette as second choice. This disclosure ram ss considerable of a surprise to Taft Republicans, but it was welcome, for It Is generaly recognized that Roosevelt is a staunch partisan and steadfast op ponent of a third-party movement, while La Follette Is no partisan at all and on the sllghest provocation would start a third-party movement if ho thought he could thereby enhance his own political fortunes.
