VITAL PARTS BARC.
New United States Vessels Are Not
Properly Armored.
Hnn Frauclfco, Nov. 2. The Chroni
cle todsy rays: "Naval ollleera have
succeeded for many months in keeping
secret n peculiar strurtuini fenture of
the new battleship Ohio, which, in the
opinions ol themselves, ns well as otli
era, is nothing else thnn n glnrleg de
feet of a nature so serious tlmt, as one
olllcer cxprcstcd It. amounts to an Invi
tation to nn enemy to do the vessel
enormous damage in action.
"Thu doect consists of omitting to
nut minor around the after end of the
superstructure w Ithlu which nte mount
ed ten tl-lncli rapid-fire guns. This
omission, it is held, makes the big wnt
vessel dangerously vulnerable In n vital
part lo hostile shots coming fiom eith
er quarter.
".'urturrinore, shells entering tins
nlaru might do great damage to the
engine room, the batch ol which is well
nt in side tho onsemnte nnd n shell
hurst lug Inside the casemate armor
would probably send fr.igmecnts Into
the engine room,
'The fault doe not He either with

detniltd to supervise the work. The
Ohio was built strictly according to the
plan and speciflcatlons which we're
made in tho navy department in Wash
ingtou under thu direction and scrutiny

Tho Chronicle ftitther nnya:
"The Ohio Is not the only one ol the
new battleships with this fault. Her
two sister ships, tho Mnl u nnd the
Missouri, as well na thu Wisconsin,
Alabama nnd thu Illinois, have thla
omission."

BUTCHERS TEAR JAPANESE
President of Union Expects American
Eleld to Be Invaded.
Chicago, Kor. 1. The Invasion of
tho American Industrial Mold by Jap
nneeo laborers Ih feared by President
Michael Donnelly, of the Butcher
Workmen's Union. To heed off the
Japanose, Donnelly will Introduce n
resolution at tho convention of tho
American Federation of Labor In San
Francisco, next month, calling for
the enactment of legislation exclud
ing them from the United State.
Tho matter was brought to Donnel
ly's attention by a call mado on him
by K. Oknjlma, a Japanese, who was
seeking Information regarding condi
tions In the packing plant. Mr.
OkaJImn showed letter of introduc
tion to the packers, recommending
him as the proper person to furnish
them with Japanese labor. Ifc said
that ho bad been told the croploycru
In Chicago could glvo work to COO to

hi Inquiries, Mr. Oknjlma nsked If
Jnpaneso would bo admitted to tho
Butcher workmen' Union. Donnel

ing operating against the foreigner.
"I nm sure, however. Donnelly
said. "Hint tho members of tho union
would .not consent to receiving Jap

Dounolly then hastened to prepare .

EXPECTS PLEET TO CO BACK,

Toklo. Nov. 1. -A promlnont officer
on tho Japanose naval staff said today
that ho bolleved tho Russian Baltic
fleet would not come fnr on Its way
Eaat. He did not bellevo that tho
Russian government desires to send
It nt all, and It was likely thnt tho
trawler affair In tho North Sea would
be used as an oxcuso for tho recall
of tho licet. Instancing reasons upon
which ho basod his bolief, ho said
tho!leot commander, Admiral Rojost
vensky. was pick when ho left port,
nnd It Boomed very Improbable thnt
the Russian Oovornment. If Itn Inten
tions wero serious, would send a sick
admiral to navigate many thousands
or miles to combat n superior force nt
tho end of a long cruise.
"If thero were nny torpedo boats
among tlm trawling ileot which wnp
fired upon by the fleet. It was the
duty of the Russian officer In oom
inand." ho said, "to pursue them nnd
Investigate the base of tliolr dlspatah.
Russia by hor delay was Booking to
render tho diplomatic situation with
Rnglnnd moro critical to afford a
plausible oxcuso to recall Its fleet."
