WILL LAUNCH UTAH, BIGGEST
U. S. BATTLESHIP, THURSDAY.

CAMDEN, Dec. 21.-The most formid-
able battleship in the United States
navy. the Utah, will be launched Thurs
day. The huge floating fortress, cost
ing several millions of dollars, is being
constructed in the yards of the New
York Shipbuilding Company.
In the construction of the Utah a new
record of only nine months and eight
days on the stocks has been set by her
builders. Her keel was laid March Is.
One of the principal features of the
Utah will be the wide availability of
her ten twelve-inch rifles, her principal
armament, which may be used with
equal facility on either broadside. In
this she will have an advantage over
the Neptune class of British battle
ships in fighting power, as their main
batteries. are not thus available.
The Utah will have a displacement
of 21,S25 tons, the nearest approach to
her in size b eing the United States bat
tleships Delaware and North Dakota
and the. British battleships of the Nep-
tune class, each of which is of about
20, 900 ton displacement.

CLEARS $4,000 AS HE
WINS VERDICT in SUIT.
Started with S2O-Says He's
Worth $4,000.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 21.-William N.
Walthour, of Hoboken. an oil salesman
for Swift & Co., has obtained a $500
verdict against Halsted & Co., pro-
vision and oil dealers. of Monmouth
and Seventeenth streets, this city. A
jury in Judge Speer's branch of the
Hudson County Circuit Court awarded
the verdict.
Walthour. a year ago, signed a three
year contract to sell oil for Halsted
& Co., and was to receive 1 cent
q gallon commission on all sales. He
was engaged by Ebenezer Hurd, presi-
dent of the company. Two months
after signing the contract, Secretary
Lyons. of the Halsted company, who
was in Europe, returned and Wal
thour's discharge followed. Lyons
claimed Walthour was selling to con-
sumers instead of the "middlemen''
and the 'middlemen' complained.
Walthour produced in court his con-
tract, and, as there was nothing in 1t to
show who he was supposed to sell oil
to. there was nothing left for the jury
to do but award him a verdict. He
had expected to get about $4,000. He
considers the verdict inadequate and
has instructed his lawyer. J. Merritt
Lane, to have the verdict set aside.
When Walthour was discharged by
the Halsted company he was practi-
cally broke" He possessed about $40
in cash. Knowing something about the
stock market he decided to take a
flyer in Linseed Oil. He borrowed
50 and bought Linseed Oil on margin.
Luck was with him and In a short
time he had $1,000. This amount he
Increased gradually and today he
claims to be worth about $685. 900.
He became SO interested in the
summing up of his lawyer and the
charge Of the judge to the jury that
he forgot to inquire how stocks were
going. When the jury announced the
SO, 500 he FASTENED to the nearest tele-
phone and communicated with his
brokers. To his surprise he learned
that while he sat in court listening to
proceedings in his suit he had made a
fiat $4,000.

DAVIS GETS YEAR,
AND duplicates
LENNON IN CRIME
Friend of Hudson Politician Who
Tried Suicide Here Adj
mits Forgery.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 21.-Assembly-
man James Baker, Surrogate John L.
Egan and other Hudson County off,
Gals and business men, went to New
FORK today and testified to the good
of Thomas J. Davis. VINO,
with 1nomas M. G.. Lennon, a patient
In st. Michael's Hospital, Newark,
was indicted in New York for alleged
forgery. Davis was tried before Judge
Grain in the Court of General Sessions.
It was testified that he and Lennon
padded the payrolls of the Manhattan
Lighterage Company, and in that way
defraudsd the company out of about
$4,000. Davis had admitted his guilt,
n made O confession involving Len
non, who was the company's cashier.
The Jersey City witnesses all said
Davis enjoyed a good reputation up to
the time of his present ~offense. A let
ter from the attorney of the Lighterage
Company to the district attorney urged
that no clemency be shown Davis. The
testimony of Davis's friends had a good
effect. however, and Judge Grain let
him off with a sentence Of n years
Imprisonment In Blackwelps Island.
The maximum penalty for the crime is
ten years imprisonment.
In passing sentence Judge Grain said:
Davis, you have saved the county
the expense of a trial, and through
your confession there is some reason
for thinking hat another was impli-
Gated. and more deeply than you.
That other was apprehended through
your confession and may be convicted
on your testimony"
At the time of Davis's arrest Lennon
was on his honeymoon, having just
been married. When he returned home
and learned of the exposure of the al
legged crime in which he was involved,
he shot himself in the head in a room
In the Continental Hotel. Newark. He
has been a patient In st. Michaers
Hospital ever since, and 1t is believed
that If he RECEIVERS he will be totally
blind.

ELIZABETH, Dec. 21.-Tonight's
Democratic caucus is the sole topic

there will be no contests.

case it is likely that Mr.. McGurn will
withdraw and no effort will be made
by his friends to enter any deal witt

Prominent Figures on Field
and Stand Make the
Contest Notable.

President Taft is expected to attend
the game of baseball at the American
League Park. which is being arranged
between team representing the Repub-
hcans of the House and another team
representing the Democrats.
With President Taft attending the
game, Vice President Sherman umpiring
It. and Speaker Cannon on the coaching
line it is considered certain the proposed
game will draw a record-breaking crowd.
It is likely that all the members of
the Cabinet will be invited.
In view of the fact that a large at
tendance at the game seems 10 be as
sured, It is now suggested that the
proceeds be given 10 charity.
The date for the game has not yet

STREET TO JUMP
TO OUTLAW CLUB?
Washington Catcher, Seen
Here This Morning, Says
He Quit Nationals.

Charley Street, the Washington
catcher, was in Washington this morn
ing, and his presence caused consider
able excitement.
Street was asked by one ardent fan
who saw him what he was doing, and
replied that he had quiz the Washing
ton ball team forever and was on his
way to the Pacific Coast outlaw league,
which has been tampering with ball
players in the big leagues for some time
He would give no intimatiOn that he
was kidding c. trying to lead mis-
hearers astray, but seemed thoroughly
disguised and his every action indicated
that he was thoroughly angry.
President Tom Noyes. of the Wash
ing bail club, said it was news to him
that Street was here, and he had no in
timation from Manager CantiIlon that
there was aught amiss In the team.
Streets family has been in Washington.
and it is supposed that he came here to
see his wife before jumping West. He
was heard inquiring in one place for
the list of through trains to the West,
but did not say where he was going.
