Latest Addition to Uncle Sans
Warships Takes the Water
at Camden Today.

CAMDEN, Dec. 23.--Declared to have
no equal afioat as frst-class fighting
machine. the battleship Utah, the
greatest warship every built in the
United States, was launched from the
yard of the New York Shipbuilding
of several thousand persons who
crowded the docks and every vantage
point in the vicinity of the yard. AS
the big hull started to leave the thick
ly creased ways, Miss Mary Alice Spry
of Salt Lake City, daughter of the
Governor of Utah, raised her arm and
with swift, hard. swing broke a gaily
beribboned bottle of champagne and
spoke the words that gave the vessel
its name.
Launchings of big warships on the
Delaware River have become COM
mon sight, but nevertheless, the latest
contribution to the American navy
stirred the enthusiasm of the crowd
whose cheers and the din caused by the
whistles of the river craft continued
several minutes. Among those on tine
platform were representatives of the
navy department; Governor Spry and
members of his family, a Congressional
delegation including the members from
Utah, representatives of the Utah Leg
islature, many guests from New York,
Philadelphia and Washington. and
nearly all the officers of the shipbuild-
ing company.
The Utah is the fifth of the all-big-
gun type Of battleship for the United
States navy to be launched. When
completed she will be more powerful
that the Delaware and North Dakota
of the Dreadnought class. and has been
dubbed by member of Congress the
"Skeered ONuthin'."
The Utah has length on the load
water line of 510 feet, or 52111 feet over
ALL and beam of IS feet . inches. Her
trial draft will be 2S1s feet, displace-
ment 21,S25 tons, or 1000 tons greater
than the Delaware and North Dakota.
and her speed is expected to develop 2Os4
knots or more an hour.
There will be ten Finch breeeh-load-
ing guns in her main armament,
mounted in five turrets in a central line
of the ship. Two of the turrets will be
forward, one amidship and two aft
Each turret will be protected by armor
and IL inches thick, and will be sup
piled with ammunition by electrical
hoists from the magazines and shell
rooms Immediately below. The entire
handling of the guns will be done by
electric motors.
Sixteen 5-inch guns, protected by ar
NOR Of medium thickness, will be pro-
vided for defense against torpedo-boat
attacks. She will also be fitted with
two submerged torpedo tubes and will
have ten small guns for boat service

HARTMAN ESTATE REALLY
WORTH OVER $500, 900, 900.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Edward II.
Hartman was really worth at the time
of his death more than s200,O00,000. al
though a recent appraisal of his real
estate placed its value at S14s 900.
The discrepancy between the actual
and the appraised value of the Harri-
man estate, it was learned ON trust
worthy authority today, is due TO the
fact that shortly before his death MIR.
Hartman transferred TO his wife and
his eldest son securities valued at
over $5O,oOO.0oo.

COUNTER BRIBERY
CHARGES IN HORoE
POISONING CASE
New Prisoner Is Held for Grand
Jury in ZenleI-Gruber
Controversy.

q
Everyone interested in the Zemel-
Gruber horse poisoning case, which
stirred Chapel street to its depths last
September, was present in the Third
Precinct courtroom today when Eli
Bitterinan, formerly an employee of
Nathan Zemel, whose six horses, it is
alleged, We're poisoned by Sam Harris,
was examined BY Judge Hahn. Bitter
sman is the latest person arrested in
the case. Zemel claims 1t was he who
let Nathan Gruber and Harris into the
stable. Bitterman, he says, had been
in his employ until two weeks before
the death of the horses occurred.
The examination concluded with ac-
cusatfons from both sides of'attempted
bribery. Joseph Sidil, of 76 Vincent
street. was the chief witness against
Bitterman. He said that on the night
in question he had seen Bitterman with
Gruber and another man inspecting the
stable. He said that he had told Zemel
about it the next day. Plainclothes-
men Brex and Adubato, who were on
the case, declared after the examina-
tion that nothing had been said to them
about such information by Zemel. Sidil
was not summoned before the grand
jury and did not appear at the trial at
which Gruber was acquitted of one of
the six charges against him.
"rhe whole thing is d frame-up, as
serted Frank McDermitt, counsel for
Bitterman. These people came to
Ritterman last night and offered him
$400 if he would admit that he was in
the yard with those two men,
"On the contrary declared julius
Feldman, counsel for Zemel, Bitter
man came to my clients last night and
offered to admit Just that for $500
Judge Hahn would not undertake to
settle the tangle. but held Bitterman in
$500 for the grand jury.

BROTHER BELIEVES
DR.. COOK HAS BEEN
MURDERED ABROAD
Says Otherwise He Would Have
Reached Copenhagen Be-
fore This Time.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-William l..
Cook declared today that he believed
his brother. DIR. Frederick A. Cook. had
met foul play abroad. and he feared
that he had been murdered.
II had a letter from DIR. Cook early
this week. said the brother, lin which
he said he was hurrying to Copenhagen
with his proofs of having found the
North Pole. He should have reached
Copenhagen before this, and, as he had
been threatened with violence, l fear
that his enemies have overtaken him"
Commander Peary very strongly inti-
mated in a speech at the banquet of
the New England Society that the ex-
pedition which he led successfully to
the North Pole may also try for the
South Pole. However, he did not COM
nit himself definitely as to his own
share in such an expedition.
THE Stars and Stripes have been
planted at the pole said Peary. 1T
would seem fitting sequel to that
work If the organization, the person.
mel, the material, the equipment, the
methods, SO perfected might be di-
rected toward the South Pole, with the
possibility that the Stars and Stripes
might wave at both ends of the earth S
axis
Commander Peary's reference to the
personnel was taken By. many of the
diners to mean that he himself might
lead such an expedition into the Ant
arctic.
Asked unequivocally after the ban
quet If he intended to lead such an
expedition, Peary said:
Il am prepared to assist in the or
ganization of such an expedition to sail
from the United States in an endeayor
to reach the South Pole"
