Associated Press Disnatoh by Special Wires
Portsmouth, Eng, Feb. 10. The
monster battleship DFeadnought,
which when finished will have cost
81. 500. 600, was launched here today by
King Edward. The ceremony was the
must simple possible, the King having
vetoed all decorations and psgeantry
on account Of the death Of his fat her
iu-law, King Christian. There was
moment Of suspense after the King
touched the electric button removing
the last block, as the huge ship hesi-
tatsd and appeared reluctant to take
the water, but ultimately she glided
down the ways in safety.
Among the occupants Of the royal
stand were tine American naval at
tache, Lieutenant Commander job n
H. Gibbons. and the other attaches Of
the Admiralty officials and a few privi-
legged persons.

been aptly given to this form Of caring for
ones teeth. but it Is more than that Ii

ance.

lors as often as desired to make sure
nothing Is going wrong with the teeth.

Pursuant 10 the decision roaohed by
the Street and Sewer Department and
the Levy Court, on Wednesday after
noon, to rebuild the Cauaeway, at the
jcint expense OF the two bodies, the
Street and Sewer Department has
placed it's engineering force at work on
the rlans for the proposed new road,
and Chief Engineer George Rommel,
Jr., says be expects 90 have the plara
and specifications completed before the
end OF the week. 4
While the money will be furnished
By both bodies, u has been agreed
that the work shall be done under the
direction of the city department, Mud,
as heretofore stated, that II should get
up the plans, and il is the idea OF the
department 10 get the plans in shape
as socn as possible, 50 that work
can be started without delay.
As bids for the construction Of the
road are 10 be advertised for as soon
as the plans and specifications are In

next week.

cost Of the contemplated improvement,

same except as TO the height Of the
road, and the new surface will probably
last until the city Is IN a position TO

At one time the Causevsy was 10
good condition, but for several years 1t

Gus complaints have been made. When

farmers will have an excellent stretch

Associated Press Dispatch BY Special Wires
Washington, Feb. lO.-"Opposition
IN Congress to an improved consular
service with permanent tenure of
oihce" has caused the loss to the CON
sular service Of one Of its most efficient
and experienced officers by the resig-
nation, announced with regret by the
Department Of State today, of James
". Davidson, consul to AntunR, Man.
chufia, who, after service Of nine
years, retires because OF his inability
longer TO draw on bis private income
to maintain the consulate. In his let
ter Of resignation, Nj Davidson Says
" The salary of my post as consul to
Antung is insufficient, even With the
increase which the new Consular bill,
now pending 10 Congress, provides to
maintain oonsulates in the Orient
with becoming dignity and efficiency,
IN view Of tue necessity OF competing
with the consulates Of other Powers,
which, owing to the importance Of
this great and growing field Of CON-
merclal and political activity, have
large sums expended upon them by
their respective governments. "
MI. Davidson adds that the salary
ct each Of the uonsulates be hiss served
has been too small to conduct in a
satisfactory way the several Offices be
has held, and had be not possessed
some private income, obtained from
Literary work, il would have been i'm
possible for him to have continued 10
the service this long.

WOMEN TO STOP VOTE BUYING.
A Movement Inaugureted in This City,
With This object In View.

+Nf ~--tN N"ANNN -
Women living in the eastern part Of the
city have taken the initiative in a cam
paign 10 stop traffic in votes at elections:
While women have no votes, II is urged
that they can exert a great deal Of in
huence and If they are determined to do
what they can TO break up the practice
their work will prove effective.
The matter assumed definite shape on
Thursday afternoon, when y women,
members of the Women's Improvement
Club Of the Peoples Settlement, resolved
unanimously TO make an effort 10 stop
vote-buying IN their locality. The settle
mient is located at Taylor and Church
streets and all the members Of the club
live In that section
The action followed an address made
to the women by Mrs. Benjamin Nields,
who spoke Of civic reform and told Of the
political reform work Of Mayor Pagan Of
jersey City and of Jacob A. Riis OF New
York, on different lines. Mrs. Nields was
frequently applauded, showing that her
remarks met with approval, and at the
conclusion Of her speech, on motion OF Mrs
Fannie Buckalew, a member OF the club
the women present, by a rising vote, de-
cided 20 use al Of their efforts toward try
ing to stop traiiicking in votes In their
locality
It is likely that the start made in the
eastern part Of town will mark the be
ginning Of a general movement, whereby
the women, though denied the elective
franchise, may have a great deal to dc
with securing the purity Of elections in
this State
At the meeting Of the Peoples Settle
ment, on Thursday afternoon, after the
women present had taken the action men
toned above, on motion of Mrs. Rice,
also a member Of the club, Mrs. Nields
was given a vote Of thanks for the informa-
ton she had afforded in her address.
