ELECTRIC DRIVE
FOR GIANT U. S.
WARSHIP NOW
Recently Launched "Califor
nia* Marvel for Scientific'
Advancement. /
PROPELLERS WEIGH TONS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Cali
fornia, recently launched at Mare Island,
is the third electrically driven sdper
dreadnought to be added to the United
States navy, the only navy In the world
which has thus far equipped its fighting
craft with this method of propulsion.
Several years ago W. L. R. Emmet,
consulting engineer of the General Elec
tric Company, interested marine en
gineers in the prophecy that electricity
would provide the motive power for ves
sels of every description. The first ex
periments were made with the collier
Jupiter, with apparatus designed and
manufactured in the shops of the big
plant at Schenectady. Thus the ancient
Dutch city on the banks of the Mohawk
river became in a sense the birthplace
of electric drive.
The advantages were seen to be so
great that naval officers commended the
installation for capital ships, and when
the giant California was put into com
mission last month electricity operated
her propelling machinery, her militant
equipment, her lighting, heating and ven
tilating systems, down to the kitchen
devices and soldering and glue-pots. The
California, which is the “last word” in
battleship design and fitting, has many
electrical features. She, is the first vessel
of her kind to be turned out in a Pacific
coast shipping yard.
EKEL OF BATTLESHIP
LAID THREE YEARS.
Her keel was laid three years ago,
but during the war her builders turned
their attentjon to the output of smaller
craft. Upon the signing of the armtstlce
an army of workmen took possession of
the floating city and bent all their en
ergies towards her completion. Chris
tened by Mrs. Randolph T. Zane, daugh
ter of Gov. William D. Stephens of Cali
fornia and widow of a hero of the battle
of Belleau Woods, she “slipped down the
tide” cheered by many thousands. Her
great turbo generators, capable of de- i
veloplng 28,000 horsepower, are among
the principal units of the California’s'
electrical drive. She has four motors,
connected to four propeller shafts. Each
motor is twelve feet in diameter, weighs
slxty-two tons, and the combined ca
pacity Is sufficient to supply light and
power to a city of 100,000 population, i
Nine boilers produce steam at a pressure ;
of 250 pounds to the square Inch. Part j
of the steam is diverted to six auxiliary
turbo-generator sets in different parts of !
the ship, which produce electricity for
all purposes aside from propulsion.
It Is the belief of many persons that
electricity is a source of power which
merely needs harnessing to produce re
sults, independent of coal and oil. This
Is not true, for an electric ship burns
fuel in mnbh’ the same way as the older j
types of engines. The California and New
Mexico burn oil exclusively and accom
plish their “coaling” through a six-inch
hose. Their oil capacity is 1,900 tons, but
the saving is great, for it has been dem
onstrated that it amounted to nearly 20
per eenfa.
BETTER PROTECTION
THAN OTHER WARSHIPS.
The California Is estimated to have 30 ;
per cent better _protection than any other
American battle ship. She carries twelve
fourteen-inch guns, four submerged tor
“Y>€do tubes, twenty-five* two-inch rapid
fire guns, four six-pounders, two one
pounders, four three-inch anti-aircraft
guns, one three-tneb landing gun and two
thirty-caliber machine guns. Two firing
cages located in the huge steel mast di
rect the work of the guns, which have a
range of eighteen miles, and one broad
side, from which could hurl six massive
tonring cars from Sandy Hook into New
l'ork City.
The California will have a crew of
1,022 men and 58 officers. She has a
length of 624 feet, a breadth of 06 feet
and weighs (displaces) 32.000 ions. She
has an estimated speed of 21 knots per |
hour.
The West Virginia. Maryland and other
superdreadnaughts being planned and
under .construction are to be similar in
practically many d"taiis.
One of the single apprehensions ex
pressed in the beginning by naval offi
cers was that the shock of gunfire might
prove disastrous to the electrical Instal
lation, especially the insulators, cable
supports and instruments. A firing test
was made by discharging all of the four
teen-inch guns broadside at the same in
stant. Careful inspection revealed the
f%t that not a single failure or derange
ment occurred in connection with the en
tirely stem.
ThV weight of the electrical propelling
machinery is less than 600 tons, and the
space occupied is comparatively little in
the center of the ship, where It is im
mune from attack and from danger by
collision or grounding.
ELECTRIC DRIVE TO BE
MORE EXTENSIVE.
Now that the electric drive has proven
to be clean, economical, safe and effic
ient, It will be tested on cargo carriers
and passeiiger vessels, and there is no
doubt but that It will revolutionize the
field of marine activity.
Two nineteen-knot passenger vessels,
propelled by electrical machinery, are to
ply between Pan Francisco and -Eos
Angeles In the spring. The first electri
cally propelled trawler in the world is
being tested in New England waters.
Bhe is known as The Mariner and is
stannch enough to wearther the stormi
est fishing trips In the North Atlantic.
Two 1,600-ton coast guard cutters are
In building and are to be outfitted with
electrical propulsion. They are the larg
est ever ordered for the service. One
may be placed on the great lakes for
duty, and the other Is designed to be
a derelict destroyer.
The recent coal strike gave added Im
petus to the movement to make fuel oil
the ship propelling power of the future.
The arguments In favor are the reduc
tion in the cost of operation, the size
of the crews, the elimination of coal
stokers and the release of much cargo
space that is now given over to coal.
Dirt and other discomforts attending
the loading and use of coal are done
away with, and uniform steam pressure
is more easily maintained, insuring a
steady rate of speed and reducing the
degree of deterioration of furnaces and
boilers resulting from uneven tempera
tures.
The pioneers of the electric drive are
so convinced of its superiority, that they
believe vessels without it will prove to
be objects of as much curiosity in time
to come as the qualfit sailing craft of
bygone days Is to the present genera
tion.

SPRAY TREES
NOW, ADVICE
Scale Can Best Be Killed
While Limbs Are Bare.
Now is the time to spray trees tC
kill scale parasites, according to TriV
nouncement made by .Tames U. Lowry,
park superintendent, Saturday,
With the tress Darren of foliage, u
strong solution of Insect poison can
be used to good advantage, Mr. Dowry
said. In order to effectively eliminate
scale parasites it is necessary to kill
each one, and this-can best be accom
plished at the present time,
to the park superintendent.
Two solutions are recommended for use
against San Jose, Oyster Shell and Cot
ton Maple scales. A solution of one part
sulphur and tjvo parts water and one
composed of one ptyt of miscible oil to
fifteen parts of water are recommended
as effective sprays by officials of the
park board.
The special service department es
tablished by the park board will advise
citizens as to the care of trees and on
other methods of- beautifying the city.
Tree wiU be planted in residential dis
tricts on petition of property owners,
Mr. Dowry informed, thus making it pos
sible to have entire streets planted at a
minimum cost.

HOLD UP TRADE
WITH RUSSIANS
U. S. Fears Goods Will Fall
Into Hands of Bolshevists.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—There will
be no trade between the United States
and Russia until England and France
have laid down a trade program by
which It can be assured that goods sent
to Russia will not fall Into the bands of
the bolsheviks for military and political
uses.
This waß the answer that the state
department gave to the representatives of
a large number of American corpora
tions, who were hero Saturday to discuss
the question of Russian trade.
Officials of the state department today
stated that the United States has never
had a blockade against Russia, but has
merely bad an embargo and that this
government is willing to permit trade
with Russia at any time that there is
assurance that auch trade will not be
used for military or political purposes.
England and France must establish
trade with Russia, because they are In
dire need of raw materials which Russia
has, according to information reaching
the state department. For this reason It
is believed here tba.t England and France
will establish a method of barter with
Russia which will be so guarded that it
will not furnish old for the bolshevik
military campaign*. The United States
has always taken the position that trade
with Russia is one of the best means of
combating the bolshevik movement. Of
ficials today stated that if trade were es
tablished with the anti-bolshevlst groups
In Russia that undoubtedly this fact
would cause a large number of desertions
from the bolshevtkt to the anti-bolsbeviki.

Railroad Man
Ordered to Pay
$8,160 Alimony
Wife Divorces Conductor —
Gets S4O Monthly for Next
Seventeen Years .
John M. Beaver, said to be a pas
senger train conductor on the Peoria
and Eastern Division of the Big Four
railroad, Saturday was ordered to pay
$8,160 alimony to his divorced wife, Mrs.
Harriet Beaver, by William E. Riley,
judge pro tem In superior court. Room
3. during the illness of Judge Solomn
Carter.
The court granted a divorce on the
petition of Mrs. Beaver, who alleged that
her husband associated with other
women, struck and neglected her.
Judge Riley in fixing the large alimony
said:
“The wife Is advanced In years and
Beaver has discarded her as he would
an old shoe. She has no meins of
support and It Is right that she be
supported. The court must act Judicially
but If I had my personal way about it,
I would give all the property to the
wife.”
The court ordered Beaver to pa#
$8,160 alimony by paying $lO a month
for seventeen years. The Beavers were
married on June 26, 1593, and separated
June 26, 1918.
Mrs. Beuyer originally asked for
$7,000 alimony but this was set aside
when the court refused to consider any
agreements between the two. *
Evelyn Biasdel, 5207 College avenue,
has filed a suit for divorce in superior
court, room 2, against Ambrose Biasdel,
a wealthy farmer in Fulton county, Indi
ana. She alleges cruelty and nousupport
and claims that she was forced to leave
the farm in FultoK county and come to
Indianapolis. They were married in
1892 and separated June 15 last. She
asks alimony of $4,000. There are six
children.
WOMEN LIKELY
TO GET PLACE IN
NATION’S LEAGUE
LONDON, Jan. 20.—Tho proposal for
the establishment of an international
women’s bureau and conference In con
nection with the league of nations is
commanding increasing support in femi
nist circles in Great Britain. It is con
tended that the present position of w-om
en is somewhat analogous to that of
labor, which has already set up a per
manent international office to deal with
It* particular problems and bring them
before the league. Curiously enough it
is the labor movement in England vrnlch
offers the most determined opposition to
the idea of a woman’s bureau. As its
members are professed believers in sex
equalily, it is difficult to understand the
attitune of thought w’hleb has made them
on more than one occasion Set contrary
to the expressed wishes of the leaders
of the women’s movement.
It Is true that In the old days of
suffrage agitation, the parliamentary la
bor party voted for the women's bills
that come before the house. But so
did many liberals, and even conserva
tives. It Is also true that they might
have rendered enormous service to the
cause of women’s enfranchisement and
shortened the agitation by some years If,
when they held the balance of power In
the bouse of commons, they, had chosen
to use It for that purpose.

CITY EMPLOYES
OPEN COST WAR
Co-Operative Baying Planned
so Hit Middle Man.
Fifteen hundred city employes have
started out to cut down the high cost
of living. '
They’ve held one meeting nad have ar
ranged another.
Sponsors of the movement declared to
day they intend to form a co-operative
buying association. This, they said, wiU
be done at a meeting next Friday after
noon at 4 o’olock. The association will
buy staple foods and fuel and sell it
to members at cost. Sales wil be on a
cash baais and buying will be in whole
sale lots. y
The first meeting of the proposed or
ganization was held yesterday afternoon.
James 11. Lowry, park commissioner,
opened the meeting, which was held in
the city hall. Oscar Wise of the street
commissioner's department, was elected
temporary chairman.
A committee to draw up regulations for
the association was appointed at a meet
ing of city employes yesterday after
noon. Harry E. Yockey of the legal de
partment was appointed Other
members were L. B. Forsyth, police de
partment; Luther Tex, street commis
sioners department; James Mann, engi
neering department; John Brennan, city
controller’s office; Henry Fleming, street
cleaning department; Roy > Lawson, mu
nicipal garage; Charles Myers, park de
partment, and Ralph Alldredge, fire de
partment. There will be a meeting of
the committee at 2 o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon iu the office of the city con
troller. ‘
Robert H. Bryson, city controller, esti
mated that a saving of from 25 to 30,
per cent could be made through the as
-sociatlon by city employes. He spoke
of a similar organization of postal, em
ployes when he was postmaster and said
it had proved a decided success.
Mr. Bryson said the average pay of
city employes was from $3.20 to $4 per
day and that often they did not get a
full week’s pay.
Dwight 8. Ritter, city purchasing agent,
cited an Incident of saving by collective
buying when he purchased a carload of
potatoes last fall for members of the
fire department. These potatoes were
sold to the firemen at $3.95 a bag of 100
pounds. The retail price was $7.

Prohibition Forces Meet on
Verge of Booze War.
Prohibition forces are all set-to wage
war against illicit booze traffic in Indi
ana, Charles J. Orblson, special agent to
enforce prohibition, said today.
A meeting of the "drying squad” was
held at 1 o’clock this afternoon in prohi
bition headquarters, 305 Federal build
ing.
Special agents of the dry forces, who
have been making investigations in varL j
ous parts of the state, reported a decided j
shortage of booze In some localities. How
ever, some damp spots were found and
preparations are now under way to ap
i ply the government sponge to such
communities.
Raids are being planned for the near
future, according to Mr. Orblson. He
outlined a campaign this afternoon and
gave his agents instructions at the meet
ing. The prohibition forces will oper
ate under direction of the state bead
quarters and make reports of all raids
and arrests.
The two“strong arm” stations in Ham
mond, Ind., and Evansville, Ind., are
now prepared to guide the war against
booze in their respective districts.
Mr. OrbJsop returned to Indianapolis
from Evansville, where he gave personal
instructions to the various officials of
that city. He is planning further per
sonal visits to the leading communities
of the state to personally urge a strict
enforcement of the dry law. He will visit
Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne next week,
he said.
STATE OFFICIALS
MUST ENFORCE LAW.
“If we find that county and state of
ficials are not enforcing the prohllbtlon
law we will act under the federal conspi
racy act and bring them before the
courts charged with conspiracy,” said
Mr. Orbison today. ‘‘Prohibition must
be enforced.”
“The district attorney and department
of justice will co-operate with the pro
hibition forces to assure an enforcement
of prohibition. Citizens are urged to get
behind the law aud see that it Is not
i violated. Prohibition la no longer a ynat
i ter of personal opinion and It Is the duty
■of every good citizen to support the
law.”
