BIGGEST STEAMSHIP YET.
NEW OUNARD LINER LAUNCHED
 AT GLASGOW

F'Lusitania" is 70O Feet Long-Her En-
 zines Will he Turbine and of 7O,OOO-
 Horse Power--Over 4,OOOOOO Rivets
 Used in Her COnstructiOn-Other In-
 teresting Points.
 For two years past the attention of everybody interested in shipping has been focused on the pair of express steamers for the Cunard Line. The reason for this interest is three-fold. First, the vessel will be the largest in the world. Secondly. it is the in- tention of the owners and builders that they shall be the fastest in the world; and Thirdly, the turbine system of propulsion will be adopted instead of the reciprocating engines with which, up to the present, the fastest ocean steamers have been equipped. The builders entrusted with one of these ships, the most important task which shipbuilders British or foreign have been asked to perform, are Messrs. John Brown & Co.,, Ltd, of Clydebank and Sheffield, the constructors of the "Lusitania," In their work the build CTS of the ''Lusitania" have been assist ed by the valuable experience gained in the construction of those wonderful ocean hotels, the "Caronia' (propelled by Teciproating engines) and Car mania" (turbine), vessels which though young in service have already won worldwide popularity for their design, their steadiness and the general com fort and excellence of their passenger accommodation. Messrs. John Brown, too, have been further aided by the fact that their concern is peculiarly self contained. Galleries, iron mines and steel works, spacious ship-yards and docks, aH of them equipped with the most up-to-date plant, are comprised under the title of Messrs, John Brown & Co.,, Ltd, and this comprehensive character of their business all makes for economy and completeness in their ship-building work.
 THE NAME ''LUSITANIA."
 Apart from it's euphonious character, the name ''Lusitania possesses con siderable applicability ''Lusitania" was the name of a Roman province occupying the South Western portion of the Spanish Peninsula. In Roman times it boasted considerable maritime importance. Sea commerce bound east or west, north or south-passed it's coasts, while later the immortal Columbus sailed westward from Pa1os, near Cadiz, on his memorable voyage; and five years later in 1497, the little fleet of Vasco di Cana left Lisbon on a voyage which opened up to European traders the sea route via the Cape of Good Hope to India and the East.
 DIMENSIONS,
 The mere mention of dimensions con- veys but vague idea of the size of the "Lusitania." The figures are as fol- lows:-
 Length, 79o feet,
 Breadth. SS feet.
 Depth (moulded), 60 feet.

 PROPULSION, sc,
 The Lusitania" will be propelled by turbine engines of 7OO00 indicated horse power driving four shafts, each of which carries one three'bladed pro- peller of manganese bronze, The outermost shafts are each connected with high-pressure, turbine, the inner shafts being rotated by the low-press- ure turbine,
 AN ARMED CRUISER.
 The 'Lusitania' complies with the Admiralty requirements as an armed cruiser, and will be fitted for an arma- ment of twelve 6-inch guns, These guns represent her offensive powers With the view of protection her rudder and one set of steering gear are below the water line, and in the way of the J engine and boiler-rooms there are side bunkers which, filled with coal or wa ter, will be equivalent to an armour best round the vulnerable part of the ship. Commenced in September, 1904. when the keel plate was laid, it is ex- pected that the "Lusitania' will be on commission about the middle of next year.

George Davis Is
Held Up on
Lake Shore.
GIVES HIS WAGES TO FOOTPAD

~ AKLAND, July 2s.-A footpad
A with the daring of a Jesse
James and the cheek of a
lightning rod agent gave an
exhibition today of these two qualities
that evidently mark him for success in
his calling. He robbed a man of his
money at high noon." as they call it
in the society columns, and then rode
away on his victims bicycle making
his escape neatly. without Gathering
and vulgar pursuit.
George Z. Davis, a carpenter resid-
ing at 767 Fourteenth street, was the
victim of the remarkable robbery,
which occurred on Lake Shore avenue.
on the east side OF Lake Merritt. He
is employed by A. w. Davis, local
contractor, and had been at work this
morning on a house in East Oakland.
He finished for the day at II o'clock,
mounted his wheel and started for
home. He had reached a lonely spot
on the lakeside road when a stranger
coming from the opposite direction
shouted for him to stop, and Davis
complied and dismounted.
The robber, who is described by
Davis as about S5 years Of age, smooth
shaven. OF ruddy complexion and
weighing about 175 pounds, exhibited
lady's gold watch chain which he asked
the carpenter to buy from him. Davis
replied that he had no money to buy
the chain, when the highwayman sud
denly stepped back. and exclaiming.
You Til soon see
whether you've got any money or not"
covered Davis with a revolver and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Resistance being futile, the car
penter obeyed the command of the
footped, and the latter searched the
pockets of his victim, securing a purse
containing $3.50. Davis wages for his
weeks work The highwayman then
picked up the wheel from which Davis
had dismounted, and walking a short
distance from the latter. jumped on
the machine and rode off, leaving Davis
standing in the middle of the road, as
much astounded at the road agents ef-
frontery as he was scared at the at
tack.
Knowing that he could not cope with
the armed robber, even If he could
overtake him, Davis hurried to the
Central station and reported the hold
up to the police.
A description of the footpad was at
once sent out to all the surrounding
towns, and the police believe that it
viii be impossible for him to escape
The footpad was dressed in a dark suit
and wore a soft black hat. The BIZ
cycle which he took from Davis is a
Racycle, No. 1882.
