Continued From Page One
there was not the slightest trace of
nervousness on her part She acquit
ted herself nobly and Is proud of the
distinction
Distinguished Guests
Among those on the platform were
representatives of the navy depart
ment Governor Spry and members of
his family a congressional delegation
Including the members from Utah rep
resentatives of the Utah legislature
many guests from New York Philadel
phia and Washington and nearly all
the officers of the shipbuilding com
pany On the launching platform none
was more enthusiastic over the occa
sion than Miss Spry who with a large
bunch of American Beauty roses in her
arm received the congratulations of
those about her
A record that the officers of the
company claim is not only a record for
this country but has never before been
accomplished in the world is that with
in nine months after laying the keel
the ship is launched
There were several thousand persons
present at the launching and number
less craft carried hundreds more and
each shore was lined with spectators
The weather was cold and clear with
a stiff breeze and hastened matters
The ceremonies were brief and simple
and could be told In a ew words
A few short speeches were made a
band struck up The Star Spangled
Banner the Stars and Stripes were
hoisted on an improvised mast raised
on the gigantic hull and then the big
battleship glided down the wellgreased
ways as Miss Spry swung the bottle
against the bow and christened the
craft Launchings of big warships on
the Delaware river have become a com
mon sight but nevertheless the latest
contribution to the American navy
stirred the enthusiasm of the crowd
whose cheers and the din caused by the
whistles of the river craft continued
several minutes
Greatest Battleship Afloat
The Utah Is declared to have no equal
afloat as a first class fighting machine
and is certainly the greatest ever built in
the United States Its constructors were
the New York Shipbuilding company
The Utah is the fifth of the allbiggun
type of battleship for the United States
navy to be launched When completed
she will be more powerful than the Dela
ware and North Dakota of the dread
nought class and has been dubbed by a
member of congress the Skeered
ONuthin The Utah will be fitted for
a flagship and her complement AS such
will consist of a crew of 1000 of whom 60
will be officers
While the Utah will have no equal com
pleted she will not hold that position
long for the naval program following the
one which called for two ships of the
Utah class provides for vemels that will
be considerably heavier The later ships
will mount two more 12Inch guns than
the Utah and will have a heavier second
ary battery
Directly after the Utah clipped off the
ways into the channel the company be
gan preparatory work of the keel of the
new Arkansas which will be of the same
else as the Utah
In the throng of distinguished guests
were Governors Spry of Utah Fort of
New Jersey and Stuart of Pennsylvania

Immediately after the Utah had been
swung into her dock where work will be
continued the shipbuilding companys
guests repaired to the large shed where
luncheon was served Toasts were made
and responded to
Miss Spry when seen by a representa
tive of The HeraldRepublican declared
herself proud of the distinction of having
christened the great battleship
And dont you know she said I
was not the least excited Isnt the ship
a wonderful structure Its simply won
derful And her father voiced his sen
timents in the same words
The governor and daughter had been
shown over the wonderful ship and were
free to confess they were aetounded at
its magnitude and grandness
And said Miss Spry to think of
what desolation it could create Its too
horrible to think of But let us hope
its greatness will never have to be ex
erted in that direction
The Latest Dreadnaught
The Utah has a length on the load wa
ter line of 510 feet or 5Z1 > feet over all
and a beam of K feet 2 inches Her trial
draught will be 28 feet displacement
21825 tons or 2000 tons greater than the
Delaware and North Dakota and her
speed is expected to develop 20 knots
or more an hour
There will be Un 12inch breech loading
guns in her main armament mounted in
five turrets on the central line of the
ship Two of the turrets will be forward
one amidships and two aft Each turret
will be protected by armor 8 and 12
Inches thick and will be supplied with
ammunition by electrical hoists from the
magazines and shell rooms Immediately
below The entire handling of the guns
will be done by ilectriclty
Sixteen 5lnh guns protected by armor
of medium thickness will be provided for
defense against torpedo attacks Close
ibdiiMon J and strong bulkheads will
form additioial pi elect ion against mine
and torpedo explosions
Two Torpedo Tubes
The nah will also be fitted with two
submerged torpedo tubes and will hays
ten small guns fur boat service and sa
1 luting purpost
The main armor belt of the great ship
will oe about 8 feet wide with an aver
age thickness of 10 inches Above this
will be another belt of an average thick
ness of 9 inches and still higher will be
the casemate armor protecting the sec
ondary battery and funnel bases
Each barbette will be made of armor
varying from 4 to 10 inches in thickness
and will protect the entire ammunition
handling machinery for the 13Inch guns
in the turrets above Ten turbines six
for ahead and four for astern capable
of developing 28000 horsepower will be
Installed
Steam will be supplied by twelve wa
ter tube boilers and coal or oil may be
used for fuel The two smokestacks on
the ship will extend 70 feet above the
water line
The Utah will be fitted for a flagship
and her complement as such will con
sist of a crew of 1000 of whom 00 will
be officers
While the Ttah will have no equal
when completed she will not hold that
position long as the navy program fol

that will be considerably heavier These
later ships will mount two more 12inch

WOMAN TURNS THIEF
Wife of Prominent Citizen Caught
Stealing Bottle of
Perfumery
A welldefined case of kleptomania
one of the kirfil more often read about
than actually discovered was found in
Salt Lake yesterday when a young wo
man clerk in the KeithOBrien store saw
a woman slip a bottle of expensive per
fumery in the fold of her skirt and start
for the door The clerk followed the wo
man and pointed her out to a store de
tective who told the woman that she
might either submit to a search there at
the store or accompany him to the police
station and be searched by the police
matron
The woman who to the wife of a prom
inent Salt lAke man and mother of sev
eral children protested Indignantly at
first but when the detective mentioned
the police station she broke down On
being searched by one of the women at
tendants at the store the bottle of per
fumery was found and with it were nu
merous other articles which had appar
ently been stolen from other stores On
account of the womans prominence and
her family her name is withheld and it
is unlikely that prosecution in this case
will follow

ranks than any other plan that could be
adopted
According to latest reports the medical
corps of the war vessels now at Blue
fields have Installed hospitals where
scores are being cared for The proces
sion of sick and wounded men through
the town Is said to be pitiful and al
though Estrada Is doing everything in
his power to relieve the suffering his
resources are meager To relieve the sit

with the American Red Cross and im
mediately afterward dispatched the fol
lowing message to Thomas H Moffatt
United States consul at Bluefields
Message of Secretary Knox
The American Red Cross will tele
graph you tomorrow the twentyfourth
five thousand dollars and will send an
other five thousand if needed Navy de
partment has instructed Captain Shipley
to land whatever surplus supplies can be
furnished from our ships now at Blue
fields and orders will be given the
Prairie now at Colon to transport imme
diately to Bluefields from the stores In
tended for the marines or from the Pan

supplies as you may ask for within the
limit of five thousand dollars to be cabled
you tomorrow You will cooperate with
Shipley In the distribution of supplies
payment for all of which both those
landed from ships at Bluefields and
those sent from Colon will be recouped
from Red Cross funds
The dispatch of this telegram followed
close on receipt of a report from Con
sul Moffatt depicting the state of affairs
in Bluefields His story of the suffering
of the defeated Kelayan soldiers was
brief but graphic Incidentally he re
ported that more than 900 were kill d on
both sides in the recent battle of Rama
The dispatch follows
Two thousand starved emaciated pris
oners have been brought here from Zr
layas surrendered army
Sickening Sight
The sight of the sick and weary tot

Half are mere boys The emergency hos

them with blankets clothing shoes and
food as best he can Flour beans rice
sugar coffee and condensed milk are
needed instantly to feed the starving Ze

ens unless they are given promptly the
best of food and care
The great and sudden demand for
clothing and food for the suffering is a
problem for the provisional government
whose resources are exhausted Their

to issue interestbearing obligations un
less the balance reaches a low point
Secretary MacVeagh can issue the Pan
ama canal bonds should he feel disposed
to do so and also he can put out 3 per
cent Interestbearing certificates to meet
pressing obligations of the government
It Is not considered probable that he
will tSke the former course before con
ies acts on his recommendation for a
graduated tax on bank circulation
He is opposed to doing 110 for as he
pointed out In his annual report the
bonds if issued at 3 per cent would have
a much better circulation privilege than
the outstanding 2 per cents
An issue of certificates Is unlikely un
less the necessity therefor is impera
ve
The Payne law prescribed that Panama
canal bonds hereafter to be Issued under
its provisions should bear interest at not
exceeding S per cent This leaves some
leeway In determining the character of
new issues the secretary of the treas

following an incident at table when a
guest had changed his wifes glass so
that she got real champagne and not i
the imitation If Mrs Brokaw drank j
champagne she was the only one who
knew it he testified
Shown a list of objectionable names
which Mrs Brokaw said her husband <
had applied to her when angry Mi
Brokaw scrutinIzed them through his I
lorgnette and said I
Of course I dont use such lan
guage i
Tell us what happened on the so
called poison night directed Mr Mc
Intyre
On that night replied the wit
ness I had the Marquise Hermose and i
others to dinner Mrs Brokaw did i i
not come down After dinner I went i
to her room and knocked She did not
answer me Then I aid Mar l i
want to come In She did not answer
Finally I pushed in the door She was
furious I told her I only wanted to
kiss her good night and left
The Poison Tablet
When I came up stairs again Mi i
Brokaw was not in her room I toulu
not find her and got a nurse to help
me hunt After a search the nurt
called to me from a room at one ena
of the hall I got there just In time
to see the nurse struggling to take
something out of Mrs Brokaws mouth
It was some kind of white tablet I
screamed My God she is dead
Did you do anything to cause her
to take poison 7
Absolutely nothing
From the fact that Mrs Brokawn
counsel for tjie first time brought a
complete get of the minutes for the
trial records which they have hitherto
said their client could not afford it Is I
Inferred that Brokaw will undergo a
rigorous rowsexamination when court
convenes tomorrow
