GEORGIA LOST.
LIMES
BYVOGELGESAN
fHesrtt Hews by Vemgmt Lreeed Wire.)
Waihingtoa, Feb. 29. That the
accident to the turrets of 'the bat
tleshlps Georgia and Missouri in
which many men In the nary lost
their Hres was due largely to defec
tive powder loaded with foreign sub
stances which interfered with its
proper explosion, was the startling
testimony given the senate commit
tee on naval affairs by Lieutenant
Commander Carl Vogelgesang, com
mander of the president's yacht May
flower, during the Inquiry today.
Commander Vogelgesang testified
that the powder in the magailnes of,
the Georgia after the explosion was
found to contain oily waste, old
hinges,' matches and bits of wood.
He declared that these substances
might easily account for the "flare
back" when the breech of the gun
was opened after the gan'was fired,
which killed a majority of the crew.
Senator Hale, chairman of the
committee, Senators Tillman and
Perkins, all sought to obtain fur
ther Information on this subject but
were unsuccessful. "
The commander champed his atti
tude entirely when he noted the" im
pression his statement had: made on
members of the committed and In
sisted that he bad no Idea when or
where the powder was purchased,
what officers had passed upon- it or
from whom It was purchased. He
declared finally, . that Lieutenant
Commands .. Sims,, .naval, .secretary:
to the president, knew all about the
matter and was prepared to. testify
at' - length concerning the condition
of the powder.' ' " ;
Aside from this bit of testimony,
the' committee failed to establish
any facts which tend. to substantiate
the charges made by Henry Reuter
dahl In his criticisms in a. magazine.
In fact," the Witnesses suggested by
8. 8. McClure were decidedly hazy
as to any definite defect In the con
struction -of United States battle
ships i anl aside from charges of a
general character . had Jlttle to say.
; Lieutenant Commander Sims will
be put through a severe cross-examination
by the. members of the com
mittee Monday, when "he-Is called.
Sims objected to being put on the
stand this afternoon. He said that
be had a very long statement to
make, covering; 12 years, and did
not wish tou be interrupted.
' rearing to . place temptation In .. the
path of official of the war department,
the bout today declined to give per
mlsslon for the department to purchase
Ingredients for powder without inviting
proposals. . - '

objected to the permission desired, and

. Officers Questioned.
Red-hot criticism of Improper con
struction of American battleships
marked today's session of the senate
naval" investigation committee. Three
naval officers criticised certain details
of naval construction. One blames the
Missouri's IS dead due to Improper con
struction. Lieutenant Commander Vogelgesang
denounced the existing .ammunition
hoists, and both he and Captain Bradley
Fluke charged the navy department with
not encouraging outside inventors.
Lieutenant Commander 71111, on duty
with the general board, in holding that
the armor belt would be practically in
efficient In action, disclosed the .fact
that American warships, start on trial
trips with a much' lighter load than
later required,' in order to meet extraor
dinary. speed1 requirements, never after
ward equalling the record.
' Senator Tillman' -of South Carolina
with characteristic Impetuosity called It
"cheating." ;
Senator Burrows of Michigan- an
nounced bis intention of pursuing the
subject further with a view of fixing
responsibility. . .
. Lieutenant Commander Blmms, 1 in
spector of ordnance, ' naval aide to the
president, "got in bad" with the, com
mittee. He announced that he did not
want to :begin his testimony today be
cause he had a very long statement to
make. w
"I don't want to be interrupted until
I get through with it either," he boldly
explained. "I have been accused of all
sorts of things,'.' he added. "I started
to stir up this row 10 or 12 years ago."
Who Started Bowf -.
. "O-ho! You! started to stir up a row,
did your interrupted Chairman Hale.
'I mean that as long ago as that I
started to criticise our warships, in
comparison with those of foreign coun
tries, and I want to show this commit
tee what, reports I have written. i
Chairman Hale informed him that be
would be examined Monday on present
conditions and that he would not be in
terrupted. Commander Vogelgesang said that if
the two-stage ammunition hoist, later
adopted, had been in use on the Mis
souri, 16 lives would have been saved;
that no sich accident as that could oc-.
our on foreign ships, and that "It was
God's mercy that the vessel was not
blown out of the .water."' :
-He said that the handling-room
should be made safe.
"That is beyond the rang of human
endeavor," said Admiral Capps.
"But it la not beyond the rang - of
human endeavor to put a bulkhead be

witness..
Admiral Capps denied that outside in

Portsmouth, N. H.. Feb. 2 9. That
Paul E.Roy Intended to murder his-
wlfe, the beautiful Olacia Calla. her
mother, Mrs. Grace E, Kelley and her
foster father John D. Kelley, after he
killed his brother-in-law, George Car
kins, in the palatial home of the Callas
in Newlngton on the night of .January
2, Is now the belief of the authorities
and all of those directly connected in
the ease. Glacla Calla and her mother,
Mrs, Kelley, win both be the most dam
aging witnesses against Roy If he is
brought to trial, lils own admissions
to them sines the killing Of Carklns
are the most damaging evidence the
yrunvuvLuu linn 1 ' -
That Roy admitted to Miss Calla and
Mr. and Mrs. Ketteyr nf tr ' the JtiUing
of , Carklns, that he intended to kill
tnem is tne assertion ot ttotb Miss Cal
la nd Mrs. Kelley. Both of these wo
men have confided all these facts to
the county solicitor who la carefully
keeping them secret until 'after be gets
Roy Into that county where the prose
cution will be vigorously pushed to a
flnalty.
"Paul Roy intended to murder the
whole of us, and he told ua so, said
Miss Calla today. "After he killed
Bonny I fled from the houaa going to
my mother's to spread the alarm. He
pursued me, firmly determined to kill
me and my father and mother, He
found us all in the Kelley bouse.
Wept Wlta Cowardly rity.
"When he overtook-ua in the door
yard of my mother's home ho was tren
ded with rage. He grappled with me
and forced me to tell the story Which I
did. During the long chase from my
house to my mother's, however, and the
time when he was appealing to me to
tell the suicide story, his anger cooled
and ha wept and cried while possessed
of a cowardly pity.
"Pltty me! Flty met My poor mother
nearly died that night. She sat ea the
floor of the pantry that night and held
George's head in her lap and moaned
.half the night.
snoruy arier in. aociur diq onnsa
my mother upstairs and pursuaded her
to go to bed, 1 also went to my room
and retired. During the early part of
the morning Paul came Into my room
but I immediately got up and left the
room. I tolm him that I could never
live with him again because he had
killed my brother. He cried like a child.
I left the room and slept with, my
mother. Paul followed us about con
stantly and said he rould kill us if we
told the story.
"After the funeral of Sonny we dis
covered that Paul had my revolver ful
ly loaded and was carrying it In his
pocket My mother took it out of his
coat pocket when he was not around,
and placed It in a glove bpx and left it
secreted until she gave it to Sheriff
Col lis. Paul had frequently threat
ened to shoot us if we betrayed our
suspicions.
"The awful secret weighted me down
and I could not keep my mind from con
stantly telling me that Paul had killed
my brother. All the love I had for Paul
was killed bv the tragedy. I have never
said I would drag him to the gallows.,
but I must perform my duty, and I
want him prosecuted and punished for
this awful crime.
"Upon the advice of physicians, my
mother and I went to New York so that
my mother could procure special treat
ment for nervousness. Paul sought us
out there and made damaging admis
sions to both my mother and myself..
"The secret, weighed upon me so ter
ribly that I became depressed and so
licited advice from a New York attor
ney. The attorney strongly advised
that I return tq Portsmouth apd conr
suit the authorities. We did so arid you
know the rest I oannot talk any more
about this case, in faot the authorities
do not wish me to talk about the case
any more and I am determined not to do
so; but you may rest assured that Paul
Roy firmly intended killing all of us on
the night that George was shot though
fortunately ior the rest of us his anger
cooled before he executed hla purpose
and he could not afterward muster up
courage to do so."
