SECRECY OVER SHIP.
BIG SEA FIGHTER TO BE BUILT
At NEW YORK NAVY YARD.
Order Forbids Men Telling Anything
About New 10000 Ton Vessel
Keel to Be Laid Within q
# Few Weeks. Il sass5

New York.-In an order which is
one Of the most sweeping ever issued
at the New York navy yard all officers
and men employed in the construction
/ of the new 2O,O0O-ton battleship, whose
keel will be laid within few weeks.
are forbidden to give out any informa-
tiOn whatsoever to the newspapers or
the public So strict is the wording
of the order that the officers in charge
of the department of construction and
repair, to whom it is particularly ad-
dressed, will not even give the name
of the author. 81
Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich,
commandant of the yard, is in Wash
ington, and it is believed that the order
had it's origin there. One officer did
venture the information that the con-
tents of the document would probably
be made public within few days.
William j. Baxter, naval construc-
tor, who will have charge of the build
ing of the ship, refused to talk about
anything connected with his depart
ment. ..s 7a.. f..
II am shut up tighter than clam"
he said Under this order we cannot
give out any information. cannot tell
you when the keel of the new vessel is
to be laid. The order won't let me say
how many men are to be taken on or
laid OF" @-. &.,...
All other officers connected with the
department of construction and re-
pair were as reticent as their chief At
the Office Of the labor board in the
yard it was found that the order had
produced an effect similar to that in
the department of construction and re-
pair.
While some of the officers and men
are of the opinion that the desire Of
the navy department is to prevent for
eign nations from learning of the i'm.
provements in the battleship, others
sec in it the result of the struggle that
has been going on between the officers
favoring the consolidation of the vari-
GUS departments of the yard and the
Observation-Disclosures. :.
The workmen at the yard are op-
posed to consolidation and many Off.
cere are In sympathy with them, for
under the new order of things it will
be practically impossible for a work
man to obtain promotion except by q
competitive examination.
