LOUISIANA IN COMMISSION.
Is Now the Most Powerful Fighting Machine
in Active service In the Navy.

IN ActINt StFNlct ~ TIC Navy
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The new battle
ship Louisiana was placed in commission
at Norfolk at 3 o'clock this afternoon, ac-
cording to information received at the
Navy Department, and that vessel is now
the most powerful fighting machine in
active service in the navy. There are
several other vessels as large as the Louisi-
ana under CONSTRUCTION at various yards f.,
but none Of these will be ready for active
service for some time.
The Louisiana has had her preliminary
acceptance trials INC was turned over to
the Government by her contractors two
or three weeks ago. Since then she had
been fitting out at the Norfolk navy yard.
She will go to the New York navy yard
soon to receive her three and six inch guns
and will then 60 down to New Orleans to
receive a silver service from thA state OF
Louisiana. This, however, will probably
not be for two or three months.
The Louisiana is commanded by Capt.
Albert r. Couden. Her executive officer Is
Lieutenant Commander Frederick L.Chapin,
and Lieut.. Carl T. Vogelgesang has been
ordered TO the Louisiana as navigator.
The Louisiana is Of 5000 tons disPlace-
ment. The nearest vessel OF her size IN
active service is the Rhode Island, COM
missioned on April II, which is Of 1898
tons. Not only is the Louisiana larger,
but her armament is more powerful. She
carries in the main battery four IL inch
breech loading rifles, eight 8 inch and
twelve 7 inch. The secondary battery con-
sists of twenty 3 inch fourteen FOUNDER
rapid-fre guns twelve three FOUNDER semi
automatic guns, six one FOUNDER auto
matte, two one FOUNDER semi-automatic.
two 5 inch field pieces, two machine guns,
6alibre 80, and six automatic guns, cali
bre 80.
The big IL inch guns are mounted in pairs
in two electrically controlled, balanced
elliptical turrets on the centre line, one
forward and one aft, eachHwith an arc OF
fire e about 30 degrees. The 8 inch guns
are in pairs in four ~turrets, two on each
beam, at each end of the s~uperstructure.
The 7 inch guns are mounted in broadside
on pedestal mounts on the gun deck behind
z inch armor. Each u is isolated by
nickel steel bulkheads. The forward and
after guns are arranged to fire right ahead
and right astern, respectively, and the
other 7 inch guns have the usual broadside
train. The guns Of the secondary battery
are placed in commencing positions. pro-
tected wherever practicable, and with a
large arc Of unobetructed fire.
The contra ct trial speed Of the vessel
was IL knots for four hours az sea-. The
Louisiana did considerably better than this.

S~oMERvILLE. n. j.. June 2-Aleck Dipaolo,
a hotel keeper and real estate dealer OF
Raritan, was shot through the head at 3
O'Clock this afternoon by Miss Flarindo
Illorio on the front portico Of her residence
in Mechanic street. here. He dec in tho
Somerset Hospital m hour later.
Miss Illario is locked up in the county jail.
She says she shot Dipaolo to avenge a wrong
She asserts he had accomplished her ruin
and then cast her of. He had recently
tried to make up with her. At the time Of
the shooting. according to her statement,
he knocked at the door OF her residence and
wanted her to admit him to the house TO
ak over their troubles. He told her hat
she had $500 which belonged to h m and
that he wanted II. She says she was afraid
of him and refused to admit him. Dipaolo,
she says, took his revolver from his pocket
and handed t to her to assure her that he
would do her no harm. Then he tried TO
force his way past her into the house. Miss
lllario, who was smarting from the sense
of her wrongs and with the weapon in her
hand, was seized. she says with a sudden
impulse to kill Dipaolo. She pointed the
revolver AT his head and fired. The bullet
entered his temple and came out at the back
of his head, She left him for dead on the
portico and then walked to the Somerset
court house and gave herself up to Deputy
Sherf # Anderson. She said she had killed
Dipaolo and wanted to be arrested.
An automobile was despatched to the
scene of the shooting and Dipaolo, who
was still alive, was taken to the Somerset
Hospital.
Dipaolo's relations with Flarindo Illario
dates back several months. About the
middle of April he disappeared from his
home in Raritan, and at the same time the
Illario woman was missing, Dipaolo had
a wife and family, but he was gone for
several weeks and finally turned up about
the same time as the Illario woman. The
latter had successfully conducted a con-
fectionery business in Raritan, but she
sold it just before leaving with Dipaolo
for $500 and drew out $500 from the bank to
take with her. When she returned to
Raritan her parents refused to receive her.
and she had since been residing at the
place where the shooting took place.
Dipaolo became known as the king of
the Italians of the Raritan colony and
boasted that he could do anything he wanted
to in that town. When he went away with
the Illario woman his wife made complaint
against him for desertion, and he was
under indictment by the Grand Jury when
he was killed.

TO AID ODELL'S ASSEMBLYMAN.
Orange County District Gerrymandered to
Secure Bedellt Reelection.

M~1ppLETowN, n. Y, June 2.--The Board
Of Supervisors of Orange county yesterday
apportioned the two Assembly districts
Of the county for the sole purpose'of again
returning to the Assembly Louis Bedell,
ex-Gov. Odell's strongest supporter in
Orange county. Louis Bedell has served
the Assembly for the last decade.
For several years the Second Assembly
district had always returned big Republican
majorities, but last year owing to the fight
majority OF hundreds was cut to 81. To
aid in his reelection the Supervisors trans
ferred the strong Republican town Of Mon
roe to the Second district, This action was
taken in the face Of the protest OF the Demo-
cratic members, who claimed that the Demo-
cratic town of Crawford, which was taken
from the Second district some years ago,
should be returned to it, as this would
divide as evenly as by taking the town Of
Monroe.

Brussels obtained its first glimpse
OF the bellies when they emptied from

smartlooking brake for a drive to the
hotel. A crowd quickly collected
about the party and stared at them in
open-mouthed amazement.
