Charles M. Schwab to Build Battle
Ships for Russian Navy.

superiority over foreign rivals agail
triumphs in the complete success which
has crowned the visit Of Charles IN
5chwab to st. Petersburg. Mr.
Schwab's negotiations with the Rus
sian admiralty have resulted in the
practical conclusion Of an arrangement
for the construction Of number OF
formidable line of battleships of type
which probably will startle the world.
The details Of the construction Of the
vessels remain to be worked out, but
in addition to those which will be built
in the United States 1t is quite likely
that a yard will be constructed at
a Baltic port to be manned by Russian
workmen, but under American engin-
eering and mechanical supervision the
Russian admiralty being extremely
anxious to utilize the rehabilitation Of
the navy for the encouragement Of the
shipbuildlng industry at home in order
to eventually render the country indie
pendent Of foreign yards.
The admiralty has accepted Mr.
Schwab's propositions strictly on their
merits, he having convinced the au-
thorities that he can produce for Rus
sia warships vastly superior to any
thing now a1oat or at present project
ed by any other government. They
will be monster 10000 ton vessels of
enormous horsepower and of peculiar
type combining the projectile resisting
power of the battleship with the speed
and wide radius of action of cruisers
They will be delivered fully equipped
as to armor and ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval
architecture and construction which
these American ships will mark
is guarded secret but 1t is believed
1t will involve the use of nickle steel
OF greater tense strength which In
machinery, boilers, frames, ectl, will
give greater power with decreased
weight. Mr.. Schwab guarantees to
create vessels with 20 per centum high
er efficiency than any now existing.
1t is understood, however, that not all |
the ships will be built by the Bethle-
hem company, as the time for delivery
is factor, Russia desiring that the
ships be turned over as early as posi-
BILE. While the Bethlehem company

'IOCUT HUNT SHORT.

MUCH SPECULATION As TO REASON.
Assertion IL Made That No Business
Of Special ImDortance Requires
His Presence at the
Capital

Glenwood Springs, Col, April 28.-
disappointment reigns In number Of
Colorado cities and towns along thu
route of the presidents return trip Ia
Washington because Of his determine
ton to curtail his hunt and start for
home on May 8. while all invitations
extended to the president to stop at
various points not on the schedule
have been rejected by Secretary Loeb,
local organizations in these towns has
been hoping that some time would be
given them, The announcement Of
the change of the plans which was
made by Mr.. Loeb Thursday carries
with 1t the decision not to make any
stops except at Denver and Chicago.
The party will leave Glenwood
Springs at 4 o'clock on May reaching
Denver the same evening. After the
banquet there the party will spend the
night en- the train. which will leave
Denver over the Union Pacific at about
Z a. m, on May 8. There are few i'm
portant places to be passed through on
that road until Omaha is reached.
Night will have fallen by that time
according to the schedule and the trip
across Iowa will be made in darkness
and no stops will be made except those
that are absolutely necessary.
There is much speculation here as to
the presidents reasons for advancing
the time of his departure from Colo
RADIO. Secretary Loeb announces that
there is no pressing business that re-
quires the presidents attention but
there are a number Of things coming
up about the middle of the month in
which he is greatly interested. What
these are the secretary would not say.
1t was said also that there is moth
ing in the Venezuelan or Dominican
situations that cannot be attended to
by Secretary Taft.
Hunters who are with the president
believe he has enough game to satisfy
him and will have more than enough
when camp is broken on May 7, They
are sure of getting more bear and any
number Of bobcats where they are and
after this week they expect to move in
to another good hunting country about
l6 miles from Glenwood Springs.
The president has taken keen de-
light in his outing and has been so sue
,essful that he will not be greatly dis
appointed in having to shorten 1t. He
will have Secretary Loeb with him
/ few days next week and perhaps for
/ day in the present camp before the
West Divide creek country is left be-

Trinidad, Col, April T.-The Los
Animas river reached Its highest mark
here at six o'clock Tuesday night. AT
that hour the south approach to the
Rio Grande railroad bridge dropped
into the river. Railroad rails were
thrown into the river to keep the
wrecked portion Of the bridge from
washing away but the force of the
flood is SO strong that 1t may be wash
ed away any minute. The store Of the
Colorado Supply company has been
flooded and an army of men is engaged
removing the goods. The company has
suffered considerable which cannot be
estimated at this time. The river is
gradually washing away the new Santa
Fe fill despite the fact that hundreds
Of men are at wark dumping trainloads
Of rock into the river bed in order to
change the channel. A temporary
water supply was furnished the bust
ness portion of the city Wednesday by
laying water main across the Rio
Grande bridge. The wrechng Of this
bridge Wednesday night makes 1t ex-
tremely uncertain when water supply
can be had again. All westbound Santa

Milwaukee, Wis, April 2S.--The
latest step in the career of Frank G..
Bigelow, the former bank president
who defaulted in the sum of a million
and half dollars, is the filing Of PEE
tition In involuntary bankruptcy. The
revised schedules show a total liability
on the part Of Mr.. Bigelow of SO, 277 900
Of which S1,975,000 is wholly or in part
secured. OF the remainder $1,110000
is a secondary liability on notes and
bills discounted in which Bigelow fig
ures as endorser. These items are
notes Of the National Electric company.
the Grand Rapids Edison company,
and s. W. Watkins, and are evidently
connected with the financing of the
National Electric company. The bal
ance, $4,000, represents unsecured
loans, the largest being an Indebtedness
of 100000 to the Brodhead estate Of.
which Bigelow was executor.
The assests of the banker are esti-
mated at $1,S49,SOO, against which a
homestead exemption Of $4,000 Is plac-
ed. The rest Of the assets consist
chiefly of stock in various industrial
and other enterprises and 1,6OO acres
of coal land in Huerfano county Col
orado, valued at 100000. The schedule
states that he has no cash on hand.
Particularly noticeable, upon examin-
alton Of the schedule Of secured credit
ors is that nearly every bank from
which Bigelow borrowed money, ex-
acted ample security before the loans
were negotiated.
