In the construction OF the Delaware,
the plant OF the Newport News ship
building & Dry Dock Company has
equalled the best record OF the Brit
ish yards In warship building and has
set a new record for American ship
wards. From the time OF the laying
OF the keel of the Delaware until she

have elapsed. The best previous rec
ord made In battleship construction
In the United States was established

Delaware. The latter ship is Of o.
600 greater tonnage than the Louisi-
ana and Is IS feet longer that that

Burns Both OIL and Coal.
There are many new features en-
bodied in the Delaware that are not
to be found on the older bat'leships
of the United States navy. Among
these is the equipment of the boilers
with oil burners 30 that the vessel
can burn both oil and coal AZ the same
time. This will be invaluable whers
the ship may want 20 get up steam

smokestscks and has two new mill

an absence OF the high superstructure
SO predominant in former warships

Bow is High and Broad.
The bow of the ship is unusually
broad above the waterline and this,

For offensive fighting the Delaware

there are fourteen 5-inch rapid-nre
rifles. for use in close range firing and
since they can be fired with wonder

value in augmenting the destructive

There are a number OF smaller guns

Each House Passed Separate
Bills Repeating MetropoIi-

ence Is Necessary.
SENATOR kIRKMAN A

He Favored the Non-partisan
Appointment of Police Off
GERS, But Later Supported
The Repeal Measure.
Palladium Bureau,
E~k


There seems to be no doubt now
that the metropolitan police law will
be repealed at this session. Each
house has passed a repeal bill, but
they have been separate bills. The
one passed in the house several days
ago was introduced by Representative
Faulkner. of Michigan City, and the
one passed in the senate yesterday
was introduced by Senator McCul,
Tough, of Anderson. But the McCul.
Tough bill will now go to the house
and be passed without much delay.
This will take out of the hands of the
governor the power to appoint mem.
bers of the police board in Richmond
South Bend, Lafayette, Muncie, An
derson, Marion, Logansport, Kokomo
New Albany, Hammond, Vincennes
Jeffersonville. Elwood and Michigan
City, and will place the appointing
power in the hands of the mayors OF
those cities. as it was under the old
law. The bill passed the senate by a
vote of 80 to 8.
Senator Kirkman. of Richmond
said he was In favor OF the metro
politan police system at Richmond
His only objection to a repeal, he said
was that to re-enact the old law the
non-partisan feature of police appoint
ments would be wiped out.
Senator Stotsenberg showed Kirk
man that under the old law the non
partisan feature would be retained
and Kirkman said that with that I'm
derstanding he would vote for the bill
and he did.
Senator Bowser said he could no
see the wisdom of governor interfer
ring with the affairs of city. Cities
he believed were competent to lool
after their own affairs. He declared
therefore, that he could not see an!
rason why he should change the pc
sition he took two years ago when h
voted for the repeal bill. He vote,
for the bill yesterday.

SUNDAY ASSA|LED
WITH HORSE WHIP
RELIGIOUS Fanatic Attacks the
Evangelist on Platform
At a Revival.
BADLY POMMELED By HIM
FORMER BALL PLAYER BEATS
THE DlSTURBER AND A WILD
SCENE ENSUEs, THE AUDIENCE
BECOMING FRENZIED.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-The Rev.
William A. Sunday, the baseball evan
gelist, was attacked while on the plat
form last night by a man armed with
a buggy whip and the meeting nearly
ended in a riot when the Infatuated au-
dience attempted to kill the intruder.
Cooler heads undoubtedly prevented
a panic when the stranger was set up
on and beaten as he attempted to es-
cape after attacking Sunday. He was
finally rescued from the hands of those
who were beating and striking him and
with bleeding face, clothing torn, and
badly bruised about the body was hur-
ried away in police patrol.
At the county Jail the stranger gave
the name of Sherman Potts, and claim
ed to have followed Mr.. Sunday for
several months awaiting an opportun.
| ity to attack him. The fellow was lock
ed up to await the charges Mr.. Sunday
is expected to prefer against him.
The opening meeting of a series
which Sunday will hold in this city had
progressed to a point where the audi
ence waited with expectation the evan.
gelist's sermon. A trio of singers had
just started song and Sunday was
standing at the north end of the ele.
waited rostrum in a characteristic at
titude.
Suddenly a man stepped from one OF
the front seats and. before the audi
ence realized what he was about to do
drew buggy whip he had concealed
beneath his overcoat and commenced
lashing Sunday. AS the whip cracked
the singers were forgotten and all eyes
turned on the evangelist and the man
who welded the whip
Potts had struck only a few blows
when Sunday crouched like a cat and
