ship arrived here Wednesday in sink

officials who say that the accident hap

What is more interesting, however,
is the news just received from the navy
department at Washington that the
Texas is to be laid on the shelf or put
Gin ordinary as the naval officers call
it. She will not again be used for
cruising unless some urgent need calls
her into active service. As soon as the
work on her is finished at-the local yard
the battleship will be taken to the Nor.

sion. That is, her crew will be sent to
further orders, and the Texas will be
stripped of all fittings. She will be the
first Of our 1attleships to. be SO laid
aside. j
While the Texas was formerly called

have made her one of the strongest

and the Texas were built about tn,
