“Following the speaker’s remarks, the
members were asked to present ques
tions pertaining to any phase of naval
warfare; naval equipment; construction
and efficiency of the many types of
ships, navigation, submarines, torpedoes,
guns and turrets, explosives, Vange find
ing in target practice, mines, deep sea
diving strategy, training schools, armor,
hollow pipe masts, radio-telegraphy and
other topics of interest.
"The principal item of interest dis
cussed was the modern submarine.
Many types of the fish-like craft were
discussed. Torpedoes, their structure,
mechanism, operation and efficiency and
effect when hitting true was a subject
reviewed in conjunction with the sub
marine.
"Chief Heggie stated that one of the
best examples of American naval effi
ciency is that one of the superdread
na lights recently made a record of six
shots, true hits, with the modern 12-
inch gun in 56 seconds. It must be re
membered that when records are being
timed the men are in their places and
the magazines below the turrets are
locked At a given signal the shells and
pov.der are taken from the storage
rooms, hoisted, placed, rammed and ex
ploded with lightning speed, A single
shot can be completed 14 seconds after
the magazines are opened.
"There was much discussion on the
complement of ships, the.equipment of
the gun turdets and the discharge of
broadside shots by ships of the various
nations
"The Straits of Magellan were pictured
•by Chief Heggie. He told of the topo
graphy and hydrography of the land and
sea ir. the vicinity of the recent naval
battle between the warring powers and
described the treacherous waters of Cape
Horn arid the straits during the period
of high and low tide between the Atlan
tic and Pacific oceans, when at times
th*r* 1m a difference of 21 feet in the
levels of the bodies of water. This, he
remarked, was undoubtedly a hindrance
to maneuvers in the late battle.
“The battle of Vera Cruz, the life and
happenings at that port during the
summer nnd the trip around the world
which the American fleet made a few
years ago, were discussed."

WILL GEORGIA
PUT ON TICKET
COLLEGTOfIS?
Persistent Rumor That Col
lectors Will Be Put on. Gen
eral Manager Wickersham
Could Not Be Reached For
Statement Yesterday.
There has been a persistent rumor
going the rounds in railroad circles
in Augusta that the Georgia railroad
would put on ticket collectors within
the near future. General Manager
Charles A. Wickersham is out of the
city and could not be reached yester
day and no one at the Georgia rail
road would discuss the matter.
From the general talk which has
been heard one would judge that the
Georgia road is at least considering
such a proposition. There are a
number of railroads in the South that
have ticket collectors, the Southern
being one of the first to place them
on the trains.
