NEW DREADNOUCHT
THE BATTLESHiP PENNSYLVANIA
WILL BE LARGEST FIGHTING
MACHINE OF ANY NAVY.

washington, Dec. 26.-It has been
only six days since the government
began to accept bids for the building
OF the battleship Pennsylvania,
which will be the largest fighting ma
chine yet designed by any navy. There
is every indication that the competi-
tion among shipbuilders and firms
who supply furnishings, ETC., for the
dreadnought will be the keenest in the
history of the country. The bids,
however, will not be opened until Feb
ruary IS, next. Without armor and
guns the Pennsylvania, with a disp-
lacement of 81, 400 tons, will cost ST.
425,00O. The total cost will be be-
tween 100000 and $12,0O0,000.
The plans contemplate a vessel of
the following proportions: Length OF
designers waterline, 600 feet; length
over all, COS feet; breadth, 81 feet 1-2
inch: draft, % feet 10 inches; dis
placement, 81, 400 tons; speed on four
hour trials, 81 knots.
The heavy battery will consist OF
twelve 14,inch guns and four submerg-
ed torpedo tubes supported by a tor
pedo defense battery of twenty-five
5-inch guns The fact that she will
carry twelve 14-inch guns and wat
erline armor plate of sixteen inches
in thickness made it necessary to de-
sign a ship exceptionally long in or
der that her beam shall not be too
wide for safe passage through the
Panama canal.
The Pennsylvania will be heavily
armored, and will be driven by recip-
rocating engines or turbines, as may
be decided after the bids are rec
ceived, and will be fitted with oil
burning boilers of the water tube type.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 25.-Pat j. Hur,

man in the United States holding
such a position, returned from Wash

busy man since he left Tulsa a few
weeks ago, and he has succeeded In
bringing before congress and the de-
partment of the interior, some of the
most gigantic problems in Indian af-
fairs that have been handled in sew
eral years.
Before leaving here, Mr.. Hurley
attended the National Rivers and
Harbors congress in Washington. lie
went as delegate named by Governor
Cruce, although Mr.. Hurley is a re-
publican. But the governor dis
played good judgment in the appoint

ber of the committee on resolutions.
The affairs of the Choctaw In lians
of Oklahoma will play an important
part in the official proceedings of the
various branches of the federal GOV
errment at Washington this winter,
according to Mr.. Hurley. The two

and another contest to be waged in an
effort to have the government pay the
Choctaw tribe $1O,OO0,OO0 in payment
for the LEASED district" ceded by the
Choctaws to the government nearly
sixty years ago.
Mr.. Hurley, who has accomplished
great things for the Choctaw Indians
since he has been in their employ, is
very outspoken in his attitude against
the re-opening of the Choctaw rolls.
According to Mr.. Hurley there are
10000 people in Mississippi, Louis

of citizenship in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw tribes and the right to

estimate has been made as high as

SURE WAY TO REMOVE
FRECKLES AND ERUPTIONS
(From Fashion Recordl


Some women have skin of such
texture they occasionally are an
noyed by the sudden appearance of
freckles, slight eruptions or fine
lines. At such times If one will pro-
cure an ounce of common mercolized
wax, apply this before retiring, like
cold cream, she can easily overcome
the trouble. When the wax is washed
of next morning, flaky skin parti-
cles come with it. The entire cuticle
is removed in this way in about a
week, with all its defects. No bleach
could so completely remove every
freckle or blemish. The new surface
is smooth, clear, fresh looking. No
pain or inconvenience accompanies
this simple treatment
In case of wrinkles which sink be-
meath the outer skin, a solution of
saxollte, l o., dissolved in Y pint
witch hazel, makes an effective face
bath.
