ANOTHER WAR VESSEL
Battleship Missouri Launched in the
Presence of Large Crowd.

Newport News, Va, Dec. 28-The bat
tleship Missouri was launched at 1I:12
o'clock this morning. Thousands of
spectators witnessed the ceremony
Long before the hour appointed for the
launching the visitors crowded the
yards of the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing & Dry Dock company. Many took
places of vantage hours before the yes
sci slid from the ways, and they patient
ly stood in the cold morning air until the
ship entered the brine. Even then they
were loath to depart, many remaining
for hours to watch the giant hull as it
foated at anchor. The launching party
occupied large platform which had
been built around the prov of the YES
sci, Included in the party were, besides
the delegation from Missouri, large
party from Washington, including the
secretary of the navy, the secretary of
the interior, number of we'll known
naval officers, members of congress and
women in society.
which are customary on such an occa-
sion were few and very brief. At their
conclusion a small army of workmen be-
gan knocking away the shores from un-
der the monster hull. The massive
structure responded like a thing of life
and without the slightest jar started
down the creased ways. As it trembled
on the move, Miss Marion Cockrell
daughter of the senior senator from Mis-
souri,, broke the ira ditional bottle of
wine upon the prov and in clear, full
voice said
Il christen thee Missouri"
Gaining speed every moment, the
great hull glided rapidly down the ways
into the water. AS the future sea ter
ror settled in the water the crowd gave
vent to great cheer, which was soon
drowned in the din created by the
booming of cannon and the screeching
of whistles from the countless craft
near by. A short distance from the ways
the big hull swung slowly around and
stood motionless, with her broadside To-
ward the crowd. The workmen who had
been stationed on board quickly dropped
hawser and made fast to buoy. Then
the spectators, realizing what a massive
fighter the Missouri will prove to be,
broke forth into another mighty cheer.
After the ceremonies were all concluded
a banquet was held in honor of the
guests.
The Missouri is sister ship of the
Ohio, built at San Francisco, and of the
Maine, which was launched recently at
Philadelphia. The hull, which is divid-
ed like those of.the most recent battle
ships, is built of steel and is unsheated.

HERSON KILLED and

AS a result of the frenzied act of Sec
ton Foreman Sullivan at Jennings at
least three people are killed and a num-
Der of others seriously wounded. Late
last night at Jennings Sullivan shot his
wife and child and afterwards turned
the weapon upon himself, inf1icting a
fatal wound.
The crime was committed about 3
o'clock this morning and shortly after
wards a dispatch was received in this
city asking that doctor and the coro.

In response to the message train con
sisting of the engine and caboose was
soon made up and with Drs. Lamb and
Morrow and Coroner Willoughby on
board left for Jennings about o'clock
this morning.
When near Lucerne, a small station
near Haskell Pass, the engine jumped
the track, killing Engineer Herson and
injuring Fireman Wilcox and brakeman
The first news of the wreck reached Kal-
| ispell about IL o'clock and created much
excitement as it was stated that besides
the engineer and fireman, Drs. Morrow
and Lamb had been badly injured In
quiries at the dispatcher's Office, how
ever, proved the reports to be erroneous

at Jennings have not been learned, as

of the bare details no other information
has been received. 1t has been stated
however, that both Sullivan and the
child have died from their wounds and
that the condition of Mrs Sullivan was
extremely critical, owing to the wreck of
the special train carrying the doctors it
is probable that she will die of her
wounds before help can reach her as it
will be some time before the surgeons
can reach Jennings from the point where
the wreck occurred. The cause of the
affair has not yet been ascertained and
Is mystery. 1t has been stated that
Sullivan was addicted to liquor and it is
supposed that he was drunk when he
fired the fatal shots. Sullivan is quite

daughter, who is said to be the mother
of the child that was shot, was formerly
employed at the Valley house here.
The condition of the trainmen who
were injured by the wrecking of the
special is not believed to be serious.
The engine left the track and turned
over to one side, crushing the engineer
to death. The fireman was more fortu-
nate and escaped, but is said to be
badly injured. The caboose did not
leave the rails and, aside from numerous
bruises and a severe shaking, the occu-
pants we're unframed. Engineer Herson
was resident of this city and had been
running on the road but short time.
