QUITMAN’S CHIEF
RUNS DOWN THIEF.
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.
Fitzgerald, Ga., March 18.—
Acting upon positive information
from various sources at Waycross
that the aviation flights there are
| now a success, and that they were
made to the delight and entire
at is! act ion of a tremendous
Tnwd, the people of Fitzgerald
ore very much eluted over the
: prospects of having live days, tie
ginning March 21, of the most
uocessfu! aviation meet that, has
ever been held m Wiregrass

The largest crowd that has ever
assembled in the city of Fitzger
dd will doubtless ‘'assemble”
J hereon these dates to witness this
new feat ure of entertainment.
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.
People are expected here from
j various points within a radius of
75 miles on all roads, as the rail
roads have offered very low rates.
A very fine starting t rack has been
irranged by the people of Fitzger

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.
