TOOK HER MAIDEN PLUNGE
BATTLESHlP CONNECTICUT WAS
LAUNCHED AT BROOKLYN
NAVY YARD TO-DAY.
Christening Ceremony Performed by
Miss Alice WeIes in Presence
Of Vast Throng.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-In view Of
probably the largest crowd that ever
witnessed a launching in this country
the battleship Connecticut slid down
the ways and took her maiden plunge
in the deep at II o'clock this morning.
The launching took place at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Where the vessel
is being built. A half hour before the
event the gates of the yard We're
thrown open and the public swarmed
in by the thousand 1t was the first
launching of a modern battleship in
this vicinity and as a consequence the
public was exceedingly eager to wit
ness the event
AS the huge bulk slid from the ways
into the East river the christening
ceremony was performed by Miss Alice
Welles, granddaughter of Gideon
Welles. of Connecticut. who was secre-
tary Of the navy under Presidents Lin
coin and Johnson. Miss Weles broke
on the vessels bow gold-necked bot
tie of champagne draped with the ma
tional colors.
The launching was witnessed by
many invited guests who were re-
Ceived by Admiral Rodgers, command
ant of the navy yard. In addition to the
Connecticut party, which was headed
by Governor Chamberlain and his staff
there were present q large number of
naval officers from Boston, Philadel-
phia, Washington and other points
Great precautions had been taken to
insure a successful launching. on the
ways was spread fifteen thousand
pounds Of launching grease. Ready to
grab the vessel almost as soon as she
struck the water were powerful tugs
which We're used to take her to her
moOrings. To prevent any accident and
to keep the course clear, the police
boats, revenue cutters and the yard
launches patrolled the water to keeI
all other boats out of the way. AS the
vessel struck the water the craft on
the Manhattan side of the river, to-
gether with the factories in the vicinity
sent up a deafening shrek from their
countless whistles. To this din was
added the booming of cannon and the
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-29

shouts of the thousands of spectators.
After the launching the christening
party and other distinguished visitors
were entertained at luncheon by Ad-
miral Rodgers and the other officers of
the navy yard.
The battleship launched today is a
sister ship to the Louisiana which was
launched a few weeks since at New
port News. In view of the fact that it
is the first ship Of the modern navy to
be constructed by the navy department
and not by private contract the prog
ress CT its construction has been
watched with keen interest in naval
circles.
The Connecticut is $50 feet long
and mas a beam of 16 feet 10 inches.
Fer normal mean draft with 900 tons
of coal in her bunkers will be "A feet
6 inches. Her normal displacement
will be 5000 tons. Her complement
will be ~ officers and 80 men. She will
be fitted with twin screws and twelve
Babcock- Wilcox boilers, developing
$500 horsepower. She will have a
speed of eighteen knots.
Her turret armor will be twelve
inch Krupp steel and her barbette ar
NOR ten-inch krupp, while the side
armor will be eleven inches thick at
the more exposed portions of the hull,
tapering down to nine inches at the
bow ana stern.
In armament the Connecticut will be
more powerful than any American
battleShipS now atiOat. She viii have
four twelve-inch guns in fore and aft
turrets. and eight eigntinch guns in
turrets at each corner of the super
structure In addition the main bat
terry will have twelve seventeen guns
This size rifle is an innovation in naval
armament, but it is believed they may
be handled almost as easily as the
eight-inch gun, and is expected to be
much more effective in armor piercing
than the six-inch rapid-fre rifles
The secondary battery will have larger
guns than hitherto have been used. 1t
will be composed of twenty three-inch
rapid-fre guns, discharging fourteen
pound shells; twelve three FOUNDER
semi-automatic rifles, eight one
FOUNDER automatic rifles, two three
inch field guns. and eight machine
guns. In addition it will be equipped
with four submerged torpedo tubes.
The vessel will be thoroughly
equipped with electrical appliances fOl
handling ammunition, aiming the guns
and for all other necessary purposes
It is now an accepted theory that il
order to do satisfactory shooting there
should be a continuous aim--that is tC
say, the gun should be pointed steadi-
ly at the target no matter how the
vessel moves one method of doing this
is by keeping the weapon in horizon
tai position all the time by an auto
matically controlled electric motor
The guns on the Connecticut will be
equipped with such motors.

MINNEAPOLIS DISTRACTED
HUSBAND APPEALS TO PEo-
PIE FOR ASSISTANCE.
Claims That His Wife Is Unbalanced
and Is Roaming About the
State.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. %
Robbed of her reason by the dire pre-
diction of a clairvoyant, Mrs. Hilda
Miller, 425 Seventh avenue S., is today
fulfilling the last prophecy of the sooth-
sayer, that in time she would leave
her husband and become a wanderer.
Is and has been wandering from town
to town in the northern part of the
state.
D. II. Miller. her husband, is dis
tracted and has offered a liberal re-
ward to the person who will find her.
She has been mentally unbalanced for
several weeks, and he fears suicide.
According to his story his wife be-
gan visiting a Nicollet avenue clair
voyant about three months ago, and
several times each week would return
home late in the evening and tell him
of the mans weird and wonderful
prophecies. He tried to persuade her
to put no faith in the man, but her
neighbOrs had the craze and when they
called for her to so she always
yielded.
About a month ago she returned one
evening crying and said that the seer
had declared that her husband was not
true to her and that she would sooner
or later leave him and become a
Wanderer. From that day on she was
never the same and seemed to be
brOoding. On Sept. Is she quietly stole
away, drew 5000 of her own money
from the bank and started on the
journey.
Mr.. Miller learned that she had gone
to Duluth and registered at hotel as
Mrs. Hanson from NOWhere.' He fol-
lowed only to learn that sne had taken
a zigzag trip across the state. She still
has large bank account, but the
husband fears she Will run out OF
money and attempt to end her life.

WILL DIE BUT NOT SURRENDER
Sixteen-Year EIoper Happy With
Married Man.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.-Lizzie
Davis, the 16-year-old telephone ope-
rator who disappeared ten days ago
simultaneously with w. A. Wolfe, a
married man with a family of three
children, has been heard from by her
relatives. She wrote back from Salt
Lake City that she was there with
Wolfe, and was very happy. Any at
tempt to cause their arrest, she init
mated, would result in death rather
than surrender. Her parents do not
hesitate at the threat, and promise to
arrest the couple as soon as they are
located.
Wolfe had sent his family to Texas.
where they are stranded without funds
to get back. Just before he left Los
Wolfe mad pathetic letters
from his wife, saying that the baby
was dying and asking for money to
come home.

TAKE CANADIAN ATLANTIC
Grand Trunk Will Acquire Con.
troll of the System.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 29.-In Do
minion railroad circles much interest
is manifested in the half-yearly meet
ing of the Grand Trunk railway in
London today as it is expected that
action will be taken whereby the Grand
Trunk will acquire the Canada-Atlan-
tic railway. The Canada Atlantic runs
from Parry Sound on Georgian Bay,
connects with the Grand Trunk at CO.
teau crossing, ST Lawrence river, and
also makes connections with the Yer
mont Central. Boston and Maine, Del
aware and Hudson, and Rutland rail-
ways in the United States. The effect
of this addition will be to consolidate
the Grand Trunk system, especially in
its capacities for handling the Grand
trade from the west. It will also give
the Grand Trunk a direct route from
Montreal to Georgian Bay.
