Quitman, Ga., March 19. Chief of Police J. P. Wade left today for Portsmouth, Va.. to get M. E. Starling, who is want ed in Quitman for forgery. Chief Wade’s work in running down Starling is regarded as no little achievement, especially since the Pinkertons and hank detectives were also at work on the case. Starling left here about a year ago after obtaining $1,200 from the banks and various individuals through forgeries. He was a tenant of the Perdue place here owned by Judge 0. M. Smith, of Valdosta, and Judge Smith was >ne of the victims. Starling’s methods indicated a cool hand and he cleverly eluded pursuit. Chief Wade traced him to Pen •acola and from there to Mobile. ,ast September he picked up the rail again at Newport, R. 1., »ut lost Sterling completely at hat place. Recently he located he fugitive as having entered he naval service as a cook and his week found him on the Uni t'd States battleship South Caro ina now at Portsmouth. Chief vVade had him detained on the hip and got permission from the mval bureau to get him. He will go by Atlanta and get the neces sary papers from Governor Brown and will bring his man back to Quitman. This piece of work adds much to Chief Wade’s repu -1 at ion as an efficient and resource ful officer. FITZGERALD PLANS FLIGHT.

While a height of 2,(XX) feet, was illumed at Waycross in the face ■ if heavy winds, yet a height much treater than that will be attempt ed in Fitzgerald.

A T 1 THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1911 WILL PRACTICE CN AN OLD BATTLESHiP, Washington, March 19. Secre tary, Meyer with a few official guests, left Washington on the Dolphin tonight for Tangier Sound, in Chesapeake Bay, to witness an attack upon the bat tleship San Marcos (formerly the U. S. S. Texas) by the big 12- inch rifles of the battleship New Hampshire. This attack on the San Marcos is expected to prove one of the most instructive and valuable experiments ever conducted by our navy. Similar firing tests have been made abroad, the last of importance being the attack by a part of the British channel fleet upon the famous old iron clad Hero. Little is known of the technical value concerning these European experiments be cause of the precautions that were adopted to secure secrecy. Therefore Secretary Meyer ac ceded to the recommendation of the naval general board that the San Marcos be used as a target, the ship having become obsolete in type, yet carrying enough ar mor to afford a basis for judg ment as to what might be ex pected to follow an attack upon a modern battleship. The tests are expected to oc cupy three days, beginning late Monday afternoon, and all the vessels of Admiral Schroeder’s great Atlantic fleet will be gath ered in Tangier Sound to observe them. They will begin with an attack at a range of 8,000 yards by the New Hampshire upon the San Marcos, the primary purpose being to test the accuracy of the present naval system of ‘‘spot ting. • This means the method of de termining the precise spot where every projectile touches the tar get or the water. Heretofore this has lieen largely a matter of theory, owing to the fact that such observation as could be made were necessarily taken from the vessel firing the pro jectiles, or one nearby. In the case of the San Marcos’ tests the target ship will be boarded at frequent intervals during the firing and the precise effect can be ascertained beyond question. Another interesting feature of the experiment will he the use of armor piercing shells with "de layed action” fuses, which will be so timed as to explode the shells after they have penetrated the armor and are within the hull or turret. It is quite possible that the San Marcos will be sunk by some shot striking at or below the wa ter line, though the attempt will be to avoid this. Tangier Sound has been selected with that con tingency in view, the water being shallow enough to permit wreck ing operations for raising the ship.
