LAUNCHING AT PORTSMOUTH.
Largest and Heaviest Warship
Launched in England Today.

PORTSMOUTH,, September 1O.-The st.
Vincent. the largest and heaviest battle
ship ever built for the British navy, was
launched successfully here today. The
weather was fine and the sea smooth, and
a great crowd saw the vessel take he
water AS the warship slipped from her
blocks she was christened by the Countess
Beauchamp.
Counting the three cruising batt'eships
of the Invincible class, \he St. Vincent is
the eighth vessel of the Dreadnought type
to be launched in this country. The ad-
miralty has observed the usual reticence
with regard to the details of the design
and construction of the ST. Vincent, but
from certain figures that were given out
it Is manifest that the experience gained
from the construction of the Dreadnought
has been utilized in this vessel.
1t is believed that some of the addi-
tional weight of the ST. Vincent is to be
accounted for by heavier armament for
protection against torpedoes and by i'm
provements giving greater security to
those controlling the movements Of the
ship while in action.
A number of foreign naval attaches. in
bons. the American attache. attended the
launching on the invitation of the ad-
miralty.
The ST Vincent was laid down in De-
cember of last year. She .is supposed to
be of about 1920 tons. and her cost has
been given at 81, oOO. 900.

Secret Service Active

CHICAGO, September 10. - George w
Fitzgerald. accused by the state authori-
ties of the theft of S173.OOO from the
United States subtreasury here, was freed
today by Judge Chetlain. United States
Subtreasurer Boldenweck, acting on in
structions not to disclose evidence gath
cred by the federal authorities, took the
stand and refused to testify. Judge Chet-
lain thereupon dismissed the case.
conference of state and federal at
torneys was held this forenoon in an en-
deavor to adjust the differences which
have arisen between them over the case.
Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson
for the federal authorities attributed the
refusal of the latter to allow the appear
ance of federal employees as witnesses in
the states case to the fact that the United
States secret service forces were them
selves conducting an investigation which
would be embarrassed by premature pub
lication of the evidence at hand.

blaze spread rapidly toward the main
part of the station, and with cars ablaze
against the fence, the roof of the train
shed a mass of flames, gas jets pouring
out flames and the smoke filling every

car of the Blues is total loss and their

clared unequivocally in favor of the

prevailed. and declares that there was
far more drunkenness among students
under the "dry" regime than there has
