THE BIG BATTLESHIP.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Congress today
received from Sec. Bonaparte the draft
of the plans for the big battleShip pro-
vidcd for at the last session. -Four plans
We're submitted by the navy conStruc-
ton bureau and six sets by private
firms and individuals. The plan select
cd by the department was one prepared
by the construction bureau embodying
many novel features. the brOadside fire
being % per cent. greater than that of
any battleship now built or building;
the elevation Of the guns being greater
with a consequent increase of long
range fire; the defensive qualities dis
tinctly superior to any other battleship
and the percentage of weight of hull
and armor exceeding by 5000 tons the
largest battleship yet built.
The ship is to be $40 feet long; So feet
25s inches beam; 10000 tons displace-
ment: q feet draft, 1900 tons coal ca
pacity and q knots speed. She will
have 10 11-inch rifles and Il 5-inch rapid
fire guns and some small machine
guns, TO repel torpedo attacks. The linn
it of cost is $5,0O0,00O
Two of the department plans were
for n ship 80 feet long. one with the
officers quarters forward and the 9TH
er with the quarters aft. The other bu-
rcau plans We're for ships 5S4 feet in
length. With quarters likewise situated
of the private designs. one from the
Fore River Shipbuilding Co. of Quincy,
Mass. was for a ship $40 feet in length

REV. G. w. HINckLEY Ill,
In Hospital at Hamilton, Ont.-Biood
poisoning Successful Operation.

Hamilton. Ont, Dec. 13.-(SpeciaD.
6. W. Hinckley, supervisor of the
Good Will Homes, is in the City hos
pital at Hamilton, Ontario. Mr..
Hinckley fell Nov. q while on his way
to a very early train at South Paris.
Me-. and received an injury just be-
low the knee. He was inclined to make
light of it, and Nov. 80 started on what
was to have been somewhat extended
trip in Canada. He addressed the
State y. M. c. A. Boys Conference at
Auburn, N. Y, Dec. l and gave three
addresses in the same city on the fol-
lowing day. Dec. 3 he gave an address
in Hamilton, Ontario.
The following evening he suffered a
Slight chill just before an address at
Dundas. and this was followed by a
severer one just after he finished
speaking. A physician was called. who
pronounced it blood poisoning. After
three or four days he was believed to
be rapidly improving. when attending
physicians agreed that a second oper-
alton was necessary.
Mr.. Hinckley had been with personal
friends. but the operation made it nee
essary to transfer him to the hospital.
He was obliged to cancel 10 or IL ap-
pointments at Toronto, Kingston, Of
tawa, Montreal, etc. The operation
was performed successfully Dec. II.

IN THE SENATE.
Dubois Makes Charge Against Pres'
dent in Utah Elections.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Thc Senate
today listened to the second speech
which has been made this session
against the continuance Of Reed
Smoot. az a senator from Utah. 1t
was delivered by Senator Dubois of
Idaho. VINO. after reviewing in detail
the workings Of til" Mormon church
and Mr. Smnot's prominent connection
herewith. concluded with the charg"
that President Roosevelt has used the
weight nr his administration to assist
the Republican Mormon vot" in the
last election. 4 bill was passed pro-
vidng regulations for fishing vessels
to prevent collisions, at sea- Adjourn
ment was taken at =. NJ until Mon
day.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1906-12-14

President Roosevelt was directly
charged in the Senate today with Us
ing his influence for election of Re
publican Mormon candidates i'll the
recent election in Idaho and Utah. The
charge was made by senator dubois
in the course Of Il speech III which he
discussed the right of Reed Smo"t to
a seat in the Senate. The address was
of considerable length. the first portion
being devoted to a review of the Nor
mon church. Mr.. Dubois asserted the
control Of the church to be complete
in the hierarchy, consisting of the
presidency and IL apostles of which
Mr.. Smoot was one. This control he
maintained was ecclesiastic. political
and commercial and was exercised
completely over followers who came
principally from foreign countries. The
constant tendency he said was to make
| the church and state one with the con-
troll in the church.
Polygamous relations We're being
sustained, Mr. Dubois said, by Presi-
dent Joseph +. Smith and n majority
of the Il Apostles. No record of
| polygamous marriages is kept which
| is available for the American people.
Because of this he said the futility of
passing a national law prohibiting the
practice was apparent. Practically he
said the Mormon church holds absolute
sway in Utah and is extending its con-
| troll in Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon.
AS to Senator SmoOt he said, it made
no difference whether he was or was
| not Il polygamist. The senator was a
pillar in the church and was selected
| for the Senate because of this position
| in the church.
