MICHIGAN IN
COMMISSION
Splendid New Battleship is TAX
en- in Charge by Capt.
N. Usher Today.
FIRST OF The Big GUN SHIPS
In Appearance and Armament She is
Distinctly Different From Almost
All Of Other Ships Flying
American Flag.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. A consid
cradle crowd gathered at the League
Island navy yard today to witness the
ceremonies attending the placing in
commission of mammothr battleship
Michigan. The customary salute was
fired as Captain N. II. Usher came
aboard to assume command of the
vessel. Captain Usher was accom-
panied by Lieutenant Commander ID.
+. Sellers. who is to be the executive
officer of the Michigan.
The sailors and marines, number
ing nearly 600 in all, were mustered
on deck to listen to the reading of
the orders assigning Captain Usher
to the command of the ship. At the
conclusion of this formality another
salute was fired, the captains pennant
was run aloft and the ships band play
ed THE Star Spangled Banner" while
the officers, crew and assembled spec
tators Joined in three mighty cheers.
The Michigan is the first of the all
big gun battleships designed for the
United States Navy. In appearance
and armament she is distinctly diff
ferent from almost all of the other
battle ships now flying the American
flag. Her most noteworthy feature is
her four great turrets, out of each of
which protrudes a pair of 12-inch
guns of the latest and most powerful
type. These turrets, which are so ar
ranged that every one of them can be
used In a broadside either to the port
or starboard, are mounted on the axial
line Of the ship, one pair. aft and the
other pair forward of the superstruc-
ture.
Another popularity Of the Michigan
is the arrangement of the masts, the
forward mast being on the starboard
and the after on the port side Of the
ship. The armor belt line is eight
feet wide and nearly 800 feet long,
the thickness amidships varying from
eleven inches at the top to nine inch
es at the bottom, while the armor that
protects the magazines varies from
foot at the top to ten inches at the
bottom.
The turrets are electrically controll-
ed, while the most complete arrange
ment for obviating the dangers of tur-
re- explosions. flarebacks and other
accidents which have caused so many
disasters in the navy will be used to
protect the men who handle the great.
guns on the Michigan.
The ship has displacement of 16,-
900 tons. and carries in addition to her
battery OF eight-inch guns. twenty
two 3-inch guns and sixteen small
rapid-fre guns. She is also fitted with
two submerged 21-inch torpedo tubes.
Her engines are of 10000 horsepower

HOME And FRIENDS LOOK
GOOD TO CALUMET YOUTH
Local Boy Appeals for Aid to County
Poor Commissioners in Duluth but
Gets No Response = Gave
Money for Job.

Duluth, Jan. 4.--The pitiful case of a
young boy. out OF work. lonesome, dis
couraged and in absolute want was
brought forcibly TO the notice OF A. p.
Cook, county poor commissioner, this
morning when Henry Nelson of Calu-
met, Mich. applied for help. Because
he did not belong here, Mr.. Cook could
do nothing for him.
Some weeks ago the lad ran away
from a good home in Calumet. He was
not afraid to work and he wanted to
take-the world by the horns. He took
hold in the right spirit, but his inno-
cence was taken advantage of by en-
ployment agents and he was sent to
Mandan, n. D., where he was to have
work in the woods.
He paid the SO for a job gladly. 1t
was his last but he parted with il in
good spirit for he thought he was go
ing to earn more. After one-half days
work near the Dakota town he was
discharged. No reason was given for
this action on the part of the foreman
only that he had help in plenty, too
much i'm fact.
Nelson got to Fargo. where he
thought he would find work. He was
disappointed. however. and without 4
place to lay his head and no money
for food, he was at a loss to know
what to do, He applied to the county
commissioner for aid and he sent him
to Duluth.
This morning he called on Mr.. Cook
and was greatly disappointed when
told that nothing could be done for
him. He said that all he wanted was
a little money to tide him over, and
told how he hated to go back To Call
umet and admit that he was failure.
Young Nelson said that ne would
manage somehow 20 get back to dear
old Calumet and that he never would
again leave the Michigan city.

DU POINT ISLANDER SUIT.
Delaware Awaits the Trial in a Fever
of Expectancy.

Wilmington, Del, Jan. Am a per-
feet fever of expectation, practically
the whole State of Delaware, especial
ly. OF course the social circles, more
or less intimately acquainted with the
various branches of the Du Pont fam
lily, may be said to be looking forward
to the trial OF the suit for slander
brought by Alfred l. Du Pont, the
multi millionaire head of the Du Pont
Powder company, against Mrs. Eliza
beth Candy Bradford Du Pont. his dis
tant relative by marriage. The case is
Court. which is now i'm session. 1t
promises to be the most sensational
suit of its kind ever tried i'm this
state and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will offer an opportunity
to drag all the skeletons in the closets
OF the Du Pont family into publicity.
'Long before the suit for slander was
filed the family quarrels and feuds of
the Du Points furnished unlimited ma
terial for gossip among the knowing.
some, came as a surprise to Others but
it created general sensation when II
became known that the defendant in
the suit had retained Willard Sauls-
bury as her counsel. The fact that
Salisbury, who had caused the orig
inal break in the Du Pont family, and
who is known to be eager to even up
his score against the various branches
of the family, was selected to repre-
sent the defendant. gave promise that
every bit OF soiled linen of the Du
Pont family would be washed in open
court.
The history of the family troubles
which eventually led to the slander suit
soon to be tried, dates back some hf-
teen or more years, but they first reach
ed an acute stage about twelve years
ago. when willard Salisbury married
May Du Pont, divorced wife of Will
liam Du Pont, the wealthiest member
of the family of that name. William
Du Pont obtained his legal separation
in the Dakota courts and Salisbury
was conspicuously mentioned in the
divorce proceedings.
William Du Pont and his divorced
wife are first cousins. He is a son
of the late Gen. Henry Du Pont ana
brother Of Col. Henry A. Du Pont, the
,senior United States Senator from
Delaware. She is a daughter OF the
late Victor Du Pont, formerly a lawyer
of this city.

accord with tire one prepared by the
committee acting under the direction
of President Taft and known as the
administration railroad bill" In
stead of a special court, as proposed
by the ADMINISTRATION. Mann suggests
a bureau of transportation to inquire
into the complaints of shippers. The

complaints to the attorney general
and he would decide whether the mat
ter should go to the Interstate
commerce commission. The shipper,
however, is not barred from taking the
case to the commission himself. The

thority to decide the reasonableness Of
classifications and regulations; to ad-
just complaints and fix rates; the
charge for a short haul shall in no
case be greater than for a long haul,
anG the charge for through rate NJ
greater than the aggregate OF the To-
cal rate; each shipment on which a
rebate is allowed is made a separate
offense: the ownership of stock in
competing carriers is prohibited; it
also prescribes how stock shall be is
sued and fixes the minimum price at
