Most Formidable of War S hips.

These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each will consist of four
12-inch, eight S-inch and twelve z
inch rifles; the secondary battery will
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns,
twelve 3-pounders, eight 1-pounders
and a number of rapid fire guns of
smaller calibre. There will also be
four submerged torpedo tubes The
ships will have ample protection by
heavy armor ranging in thickness
from nine to eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tons
displacement, with n steaming capaci-
ty, at 10 knots per hour, of 5000 miles
without recoaling. They are expect
ed, however, to make Is knots per
hour at the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by 800 officers and
men. The contract price of the Lou
isiana is $3,99O,OO0 while the Connect
icut is expected to cost $4,212OOO.

j, 1902, authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each $50 feet long, &c 1-S

Of Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one Of the battleships
constructed by private parties, the
Government endeavoring to build the
other.
Government Got Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February z,
1908, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of it's vessel
so much that the keel was not laid
down until March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival of necessary ma
chinery and armor plate, yet with all
of these drawbac ks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the Governmcnt-built boat
farther advanced toward completion
than that being erected by a private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive it's christening, having been
launched August q, 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September % of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the
Connecticut Is being built is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship and 1t is stated that there is
still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels it is estimate
that they will be ready to go into
commission by June of next year.

CITY WINS ACASE.
Express Companies Must Pay License
Tax, Says Judge Dana

Judge Dana this morning decided
in favor of the city ordinance taxing
express companies doing business in
Topeka in favor of the city.
The ordinance was passed over two
years ago and assessed a tax of $10o
a year on each express company. To
test the ordinance George H. Jones,
agent of the United States Express
company refused to pay the license
and was arrested and tried in police
court and convicted of refusing to pay
the license. He appealed the case to
the district court and fought the ordin-
ance on the ground that a special tax
on express companies is in violation

is, the judgment would come down. if

the nonpayment for the other year

year, so that when the question is set

will be, we win have judgments for all
that is due the city.'
