Battleship Florida Launched at New

New York, May 13.-The biggest
ship in the American navy slid OF the
ways at the New York hayward when
the battleship Florida dropped into the
water. Later on, when the Arkansas
and the Wyoming, now under con
structlon, are afloat they will exceed
the Florida in size by 5000 tons, a
difference sufficient to make 4 pretty
good little liner in itself. The Florida
herself is by no means finished, for,
az she went off the ways, she was
only about 60 per cent advanced to-
wards completion, which means that
she was not much more than vast
empty hull and still awaits all OF the
thousand boilers and main and sec
ondary engines and armor and equip
ment that 60 to make up the ship
ready for commission.

Roosevelt and
Taft May Come
to Understanding
Mutual Friends Expected to Bring
About Better State of Feeling
When Affairs Are Explained.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 2o.-No DISPOSE
ton has been shown here as yet to make
even an informal or an official reply to the
stories that recently have come from Oyster
Bay telling of a serious break between
President Taft and Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt. The president and Mr.. Morton Abso-
lutely refuse to discuss the matter officially
or unofficially.
There is a general belief in Beverly, how
ever. that Colonel Roosevelts attitude, II
II has been correctly represented, is based
on an entire Misrepresentation and misunder-
standing OF the facts. There is also q feel
ing here that a better understanding will
be had soon. This may be based on the
fact that Lloyd C. Griscom is coming TO
Beverly next week. 1t is also said here
that william Loeb, ST., may be an early
viFitor at the summer capitol.
Representative Nicholas Longworth who
has been in close relationship with the pres
ident during the last two weeks. will see
the colonel at oyster Bay this week. Mr..
Longworth not only spent several mornings
with President Taft on the golf links, but
was present at all the recent conferences.
