BIG BATTLESH|P
UTAH, JUST LAUNCHED, GREAT
EST FIGHTING MACHINE
IN THE WORLD.
CREW0F ONE THOUSAND
WAS CHRISTENEO BY DAUGHTER
OF GOVERNOR SPRY OF
STATE OF UTAH.

adelphia-Declared to have no
equal afloat as a first-class fighting
machine, the battleship Utah, the
greatest warship ever built in the
United States was launched Thursday
from the yard of the New York Ship
building Company at Camden. y. j., in
the presence of several thousand per
sons who crowded the docks and every
vantage point in the vicinity OF. the
yard AS the big hull started to leave
the thickly creased ways, Miss Mary
ter of the governor of Utah, raised
her arm and broke a gaily beribboned
bottle OF champagne against the keel
OF the great ship as she spoke the
words that gave the vessel its name.
Launching big warships on the Del
aware river has become a common
sight. but nevertheless the latest con-
tribution to the American navy stirred
the enthusiasm of the crowd. whose
cheers and the din created by the
whistles of the river craft continued
several minutes.
Among those on the platform were
representatives OF the Navy Depart
ment. Governor Spry and members Of
his family. a congressional delegation
including the members from Utah,
representatives of the Utah Legisla-
ture and nearly all the officers OF the
shipbuilding 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
than the Delaware and the North Da-
kota OF the Dreadnaught class.
The Utah will be fitted for flag
ship and her complement as such will
consist of a crew OF 1000. Of whom GO
will be officers. .e'
While the. Utah will have no equal
when completed, she will not hold
that position long. as the naval pro-
gram following the one which called
for two ships OF the Utah class pro-
vides for vessels that will be consider
ably heavier. These later ships will
mount two more l2-inch guns than the
Utah and will have a heavier secon.
dairy battery. t1

POLICIES. .:

washington.-Any doubt that tn.
whole force of the Taft administra-
ton is to be behind the investigation
demanded tv both sides of the so
called Ballinser Pinchot controversy
was dispelled by events in and out OF
Congress Tuesday.
There is now no question that Pres
ident Taft himself is as eHser Tor the
meroiless probing OF the whole mat
ter as hitherto he mas been reluctant
to admit the necessity for 1t. -.
A motive much deeper than willing
ness to do Justice to Baflmger Is as
cribed to President Taft by senators
representatives and others active IN
politics. s
Men who ore in n position to know
the sentiments of Mr.. Taft declare
that he has at last become convinced
of the truth rf what his friends have
been telling him for many weeks-oi
what he has hitherto laughed at
that there lles behind the attack on
Mr.. Ballinger a more or less definitely
organized movement to discredit the
Taft administration. especially by
spreading thc impression that the so
called Roosevelt policies" are, in, un'
friendly hands: that Mr.. RaliingeS
was made-the target only on the the
ory that he offered the most vulner'
able point In the administration.
Because he was 10th to believe that
such propaganda was under way. Mr..
Taft opposed every suggestion from
Mr.. Ballinger or his friends that at
tacks upon .be land office should be
pet with n determination to reach and
expose those responsible.
Though slow to come TO a a'decision
It is known tSat Mr.. Taft is now In
clined to believe that the criticisms
that have cropped out In many widely.
separated localities are a part Of de
liberate determination to make trou'
BILE, which amounts practically to Q
conspiracy
The first rtep in paving the way
for a Congressional investigation was
taken Tuesday. Senator Flint intro
duced a resolution. which was adopted
directing the attorney general to send
TO the Senate all OF the papers In his
possession that relate to the case.
These papers include the report
of l.. r. CLAWS. the dismissed special
agent OF the general land office. who
sought to connect Mr.. Ballinger with
