President Taft and his cabinet
were shown just how the battleship
Maine was blown up in Havana har-
Dor. Rear Admiral Vreeland and
Chief Constructor Watt of the navy,
both members of the Maine investi-
eating board, staged the show.
A model of the Maine was placed
on the big mahogany table in the
cabinet room, and Mr.. Taft and his
advisors watched closely while the
two naval officers explained.
First the Maine was shown riding
at anchor in Havana harbor. Sudden
ly Admiral Vreeland pulled a string
or two and the model battleship was
a ruin in exact reproduction of the
Maine as she lay on the bottom after
the explosion.
