MSS CLAUDIA LYON SPONSOR

Newport News, Va, May i&-In the
presence OF one Of the most notable
gatherings ever assembled TO watch the
launching Of United States battle ship,
little Miss Claudia Lyon, daughter OF Col
Cecil Lyon. Republican national commit
teeman from Texas, christened the Dread
nought Texas as she slid down the ways
in the Newport News Shipbuilding Com

in the Atlantic. The Texas besides being
Uncle Sans largest sea fighter. will aug

States with first-class battle ship No.

Miss Lyon, holding the bottle Of cham
payne in readiness for the christening,
was almost completely hidden from
sight among the notables who occupied
the launching stand Around her were
Gov. Colquitt, Of Texas; Gov. Mann, OF
Virginia; Secretary OF the Navy Meyer.
Admiral Dewey, and a large delegation
Of navy and government officials. Fully
1900 people crowded into the shipyard
TO witness the launching.
The ceremonies were brief. While the
distinguished visitors were escorted to
the launching stand, a large gang of
workmen busted themselves about the
great mass OF steel stationary on the
ways, and bands from other battle ships
enlivened the tedious wait with brisk
airs.
ThrouEN Watch Launching.
The throngs watched the Texas slowly
settle by the head, her stern rising until
it topped everything but the great crane
used for her construction. Then the 500
workmen that swarmed about the great
cradle that was to transport the ship
down the ways, ceased work at an order
from the officer in charge, and a red flag
was run up on the forepeak. This was
a signal that the giant ship was ready
for the launching.
Miss Lyon took her stand at the head
OF the launching stage, a net-wrapped
bottle Of champagne in her hand, while
workmen knocked out the remaining sup
ports. At last a shrill whistle proclaimed
everything in readiness. and cheer went
up as the great ship qUivered and slipped
slowly down the ways, gaining momentum
as she travelled. The river craft greeted
her with a screaming salute, which COM
pletely drowned Miss Lyons shrill cry,
Go, brave ship; 1 christen thee Texas, /"
as she broke the bottle Of champagne on
the ships steel PROV.
Only Half Completed.
The Texas. as she floats to-day, is
about half completed. When she is put
into commission she will be equal to
any Dreadnought on the seas. and will
be the most powerful battle ship in the
United States navy. Her contract calls
for final completion on or before De-
cember II. 1913.
The Texas is not only in the Dread
nought class, but is in the super
Dreadnought" class. In her main bat
terry there are ten 14-inch guns. The
secondary battery is composed of six
teen 5-inch rapid-fire guns, and her
other armament is made up Of smaller
rifles and four 21-inch torpedo tubes.
