BIGGEST BATTLESHIPS
L. $. NAVY My BUILD
SHIPS OF $4,000 TONS.
Great Displacement Necessary for
Possible Battery of Tscclue
I3-IRch Guns.

Washington Aug l3-Therc is possibility OF
a radical departure In the chief characteristics
Of the batueship type. The Secretary Of the
Navy has In his possession the recommended
tions from various sources. including the naval
General Board, OF the ships which should com
pose the increase Of the navy which IL is ex-
pected will be authorized in the next naval ap-
preparation act. While these recommendations
are subject TO revision UP To- the time they are
made a part of Mr.. Meyers annual report. II is
commonly understood in Washington that lie
will adhere 10 the present recommendation in
favor OF two battleshps. There has been some
talk Of "A recommendation of four such vessels
but II is appreciated that Congress probably win
not be in favor OF authorizing more than two at
any session. and there is a possibility that at
the next session the policy OF economy may be
applied To authorize the construction Of
only one battleship.
In this connection the experts have been Civ
ing some attention to the design OF the battle
ships next to be provided for The two battle
ships for which bids are be- opened at the
Navy Department on Wednesday are OF 26.0oD
tons displacement each. There is a suggestion.
20 which grave consideration Is now being given
by Air. Meyers technical advisers. that the next
battleships shall be of 3O.OuO tons displacement.
This would be necessary IL the calibre of the
guns of the main battery is increased from II
10 II lhCneS ana the nulnDef tI suCn guns re-
mains at twelve. in the case Of the 12-inch
guns on the battleships about TO be contracted
for.
When the conference was held two years ago
at Newport, al the instance Of President Roose
Welt IL was urged that the batteries Of battle
ships be composed of l4-inch guns. This could
be done with the displacement OF 26WD tons II
only ten guns Of that calibre were installed. IL
WAS decided. however. that twelve lZ-inch guns
would provide a greater hitting power and rem
der a ship more effective than she would be with
ten 14-inch guns.
Besides. the 14-lnch gun which was then sug-
gested had a relatively smaller velocity than the
12-inch gun and 1t not deemed worth while
TO adopt "A 14-inch gun which was susceptible of
Improvement
type of gun of that calibre has been con-
structed at the Midvale Steel Works and will
be tested at the naval proving ground at Indian
Head on the Potomac. during the latter part of
the year IL the test is satisfactory. and tine
yeloclties and penetration Of shell Justify II, the
naval authorities may decide in favor of twelve
14-inch guns as the main battery of the new
tvpe of battleshp II will be tho largest and
most powerfuI hattleship in the world.
OF such a :}oVO-ton battleship IL is probable
the speed and steaming radius will be the same
as those of the 26OO0-ton battleship.

Cherry, Ills. Dec. s.--Inquiry by the coroner's jury into the causes of the St. Paul mine disaster came to an abrupt cIese today without -a verdict being reached or any steps being made to fix responsibility for the loss of life.

 don't know what is being done 70 md these men. but 1t appears pecu- liar to me that two men whose tes- timony Is of such importance cannot be found,' said Juror Thompson, speak ing for the jury.
 If you had any kind of a States attorney they would be found,' said Attorney Seymour Stedman
 Accepting this as an intimation tha, he was assisting in keeping the miss Ing witnesses, out of the reach of the coroner. Attorney Eckhert indignantly objected.
 That is no kind of statement tc make" he said. Tt is unfair wher you realize that I have made every effort to find those men,"
 Attorney stedman withdrew his re. marks concerning the States attorney and apologized.
 Preceding the adjournment, Johr Hand. miner from Spring Valley, who was one of the first rescuing party tc enter the mine while the fires were raging the day following the disaster testified that he had heard signals foI assistance from entomhed miners, bui that he could not secure help from officials to whom he told his story Representatives of the Red Cross Society here answered the charges oi negligence made by Mayor Russe's special Investigating committee. whicf was made yesterday.

THIEVES GET vALuABLES
 FROM MONTGOMERY HOTEL

Thieves gained entrance to the room of two of the guests of the Exchange hotel Tuesday morning and carried away a number of articles of jewelry. about s12o. watch. a Masonic charm and suit of clothes.
 The fact that a robbery had been made at the hotel was not known un- til Thursday morning, when Chief of Police Tavior sent out q number of cards. detailing the articles that had been stolen.
 The robbery occurred between mid- night of Monday and $ o'clock ,Tues- day morning. One of the men robbed was a member of the Georgia Cotton Seed Crushers' Association. and the other was a Knight Templer from louisville. Ky.
 From what can be gathered about the robbery, the two men occupied the same room, the hotel being crowd ed that night. on account of the visi- tors here to attend the Grand Lodge of the Masous of Alabama.
 The visitors had retired early and did not lock the door of the room.
 The police are retieent and decline to say whether they have any clue to the thief or thieves.

FIRST CLEW TO KIDNAPPING
rAnnnR rELLs or TWO WOMEN IN
 WAGON.
yatsle LsuisvfIIe Girl starts Te Mssu anA Never Returns Heme-vei1ed
 Woman Later Visits

Louisviife, Ky, Dec. s--The first clew to the whereabouts of Alma Keil- nsr. the s-ysAr-old girl who disAp- apeared while on her way to mass yes- terday In the residence section near Broadway and Clay Streets. was giv- sn the police today by a.barber at Broadway and shelby Streets. Here, according to the barber. two women were seen to help little girl Into q spring wagon and then drive rapidly eastward on Broadway.
 The child left her home on East Broadway to walk about i've blocks to st. Johns Church. The police learned that the little girl could not have gone to mass, because through ( mistake in time she started from home after the service was over.
 The girl is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. !. F. Kellner. Jr.. and grand daughter of the late J. F. Kellner. br.. who was president of the Central Con- sumers Company of this citv and re- puted tN be wealthy. Her father Is general solicitor for the Frank Fehr Brewing Company.
 Yesterday afternoon a woman wear ing . veil called at the residence Of Mrs '. F. Ksiiner. ST.. and announced that she had . matter of personal iFi- portenee to communicates to Mrs. Keil- ner. The latter was not home and the woman would not leave her name. hut said she would call again. The wo- man has not called and the police are looking for her.
 The parents and relatives of the miEs- ing girl today joined In declaring that they fear the child has been kidnapped. The parents said. however, that no de- mand had been made for ransom.
 A the day prosresseH systematic searrh Of the city failed to reveal any denntts clue. Detectives investigated . report that a child was seen alone and crying about o'clock last night near the end Of the Eighteenth Street car line, but search was fruitless.
 Fhe severe weather of the last two days makes 1t improbable that the lit- tie girl might have strayed far from home while taking a walk.
 The temperature did not rise higher than twenty above zero yesterday.
 The family of little Alma Kellner. though the members fully believed the child was Kidnapped. decided late to- day not to offer any reward. Mayor Head win determine tomorrow wheth- CT or not he will ask the general couu- ell of Louisville to do so, however.
 Clues multiplied all day. each deal ing with having seen a child in the company Of two men in various parts of the city. The teachers at the con vent where little Alma attended school. pointed to the fact that she was an especially venturesome child and fond of water, say that she may have fallen Into Beargrass creek on her way to church and drowned. The stream may be dragged tomorrow.
