MINNESOTA is LAUNCHED.
Largest steamship Ever Built in
America SUCCESSFULLY Floated
at CrotOn, Conn.

New London, Conn, April 17.-In the
presence of thousands of spectators,
including many visitors from New
York, Boston and other cities, the
steamship Minnesota, the largest YES
sci ever built in this country and the
greatest cargo carrier in the world,
was launched Thursday at the yards of
the Eastern Shipbuilding company at
Croton. The sponsor of. the mammoth
ship was Miss Clara Hill, daughter of
J. j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Steamship company for
whom the vessel was built, to become
a part of the company's Pacific and
Oriental carrying service. AS the last
restraining link that held the ship to
its place on the ways was severed, Miss
Hill broke a bottle of wine over the
steel bow and named the craft Mime
sofa. With a gliding movement, bare
ly ~perceptible at first, the vast mass of
steel, weighing thousands of tons,
started down the ways, and, gathering
speed rapidly, plunged into the water
with a wave under her stern that seri-

dreds of small craft. in the harbor.
Although her momentum seemed suf-
ficient to carry her far over to the
other side of the wide harbor, the pre-
cautions taken to slacken her speed
were sufficient to bring her to a stand
still within a mile of the Croton shore.
Tugs then took her in tow and she was
guided to a dock, where she will be fit
ted up for service.
After the launching luncheon was
servedto the guests of the shipbuilding
company in the mold loft of the yard.

the Story of the Kentucky
Crime.
SAYS THAT HOWARD FIRED THE SHOT.
Declares That He (YOutsey) Made the
bargain with Howard Mt the Direc-
tiOn of Gov. TaylOr-Pardons Prom
ised to All Those Concerned in the
Plot

frankfort, Ky, April 17.-Henry E.
Youtsey Thursday for the first time told
on the witness stand his story of thek kill
ing of the late Gov. Goebel. He named
James Howard, the defendant, as the
man who fired the shot. Youtsey said
he saw Howard for the first time a few
minutes before the shooting. Howard
had a letter sent him several days be-
Fore by the witness at Gov. Taylor's die
tation. 1outsey says he took Howard
into the office of Caleb Powers, then
secretary Of state, which had been es-
pecially arranged for the shooting. He
showed Howard the Marlin rifle, the
bullets and the window from which the
shooting was to be done. He says
Howard asked what he was to get for
doing the shooting. "What do you
want for it," Youtsey says he asked,
and that Howard said he wanted a par
don for killing George Baker. II told
him lie could have that and more, too,"
said Youtsey. "About that time" said
the witness, "Goebel came in the gate
and 7 pointed him out to Howard and
then ran from the room. As + disap-
peared down the steps to the basement,
I heard the crack of Towards rifle"
Youtsey said that after the shooting
he passed through the state house

the east side entrance. CT stayed in
the office of Assistant Secretary of
State Matthew'S" said he, "for a few
moments, and saw Matthews break
open Caleb Powers office and find the
guns that had been left in there"
Youtsey said that at the time of the
shooting he was private secretary to
Auditor Sweeney, but hat while his
political status was not definitely fixed,
it was understood he was to have a
good place under Taylor. "Gov. Tay-
Tor, "said Youtsey, "directed everything
we did. We regarded him as our lead
er; and he was morally responsible for
all we did. We knew we had the gov
ernor and the pardoning power behind
us, and we we're not afraid of punish
ment for killing Goebel."
During Youtsey's testimony Howard
sat with eyes riveted on the witness.
His wife sat behind him. Howard die
not change expression. Youtsey, on
cross-examination, said that after he
was arrested, and later sent to the
~penitentiary, he still had hope of gain.
ing his liberty. He thought Yerkes
would be elected governor, and would
pardon him. Yerkes was defeated
however, and about a year ago he de
cided to talk, and did tell his story tc
Prison Physician Tobin.
Youtsey said further that he hac
an additional incentive to tell the
story, as Taylor, Powers and Others
had used him as a catspaw and scape.
goat, and then deserted him when he
got into trouble.

A LIVELY LEGAL BATTLE.
Bitter Fight Expected Over Moses
Fowler Chase, the Young
Millionaire.
IMPOSING ARRAY OF LEGAL TALENT.
Aunt and Uncle of Chase Reach La
fayette, Ind, to Await Ris Arrival
There from Paris In Care of HIS
Father When Contest for Possess
sion of Young Man Will Begin.

Lafayette, Ind, April 17.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Duhme, of Clifton, O.,
uncle and aunt of Moses Fowler Chase,
the young millionaire, came here
Thursday to await the coming. of
Chase from Paris. Mr.. Duhme declared
that young Chase is absolutely sane
n said hat the place where Chase
stayed in Paris was neither a hospital
nor a madhouse. He said it was mere
~ a villa or retreat, to which Chase
went voluntarily, and from which he
was free to come and go as he pleased.
The first legal battle in the case will
be fought over the question of the ju-
risdiction of the Indiana courts to pass
upon the sanity of the young million
aire. The Duhmes claim that the
young man is a resident of Ohio. They
say he became a resident Of Hamilton
county, at Cincinnati, in 1899, when he
petitioned the probate court to change
his name from Moses Fowler Chase to
Moses Fowler. The young mar is
expected here over the Wabash, being
accompanied by his father and attor-

Moses Fowler Chase arrived here at

Their. A big detail of policemen was
at the station. Young Chase declared
~piteously: 81 am just as sane as my
,one: I am not crazy"
His father held one arm tightly. and
a lawyer held the other, as they hur-
ried the young man to a carriage wait
ing. LET m go; let me go; I'm not
crazy" the young man pleaded. He
recognized several old friends in the
crowd, and tried to stretch out his
hands to them. There was almost a
riot when two attorneys tried to speak
to young Chase.
Attorney Kumler pushed through the
crowd from behind, and said: "Moses,
you aunt is here"
"Take me to my aunt; take me to my
aunt" pleaded Moses.
The young man was finally taken to
a law office.

Will Disinherits Father.

Cincinnati, April ia special to the
'Times-Star from Lafayette, Ind,
says: Interest in the Moses Fowler
Chase case was intensified Thursday
by the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Duhme from Cincinnati, and the hourly
expected arrival of their nephew in
charge of his father and others. On
their arrival Judge Hammond an
nounced that he had positive evidence
that Moses had made a will disinherit-
ing his father and giving all his estate
of $750,000 to the sister of his mother,
Mrs. Dnhme, and that this is what is at
stake in the contention of Mrs. Duhme
for guardianship, in place of the IA
Their. Meantime other attorneys of
the father, Frederick S. Chase, charge
that Moses became insane while in
charge of the Duhmes at Cincinnati,
and the Duhmes charge thatMoses was
not insane when they left him at a: re-
sort in France, but that his trouble has
come since the detectives and attor-
neys of the father recently got posses
sion of the young man. A generalcoun-
sci was retained from Cincinnati and
indianapolis on both sides. The Duhmes
