srs. Lambert and Trewin OF the state

help them carry out their plans for CO.

Whatever friction there may be be-

not yet come to the surface but Pro-
lessor Kennedy had the following to
say, which he said he hoped would
serve to light up the situation. not the
Ames faculty war situation. but the
, situation as exists between him and
certain members Of the board:
In February. a year ago. Thomas

coz rdination plans, came to me in

when l was attending the meetings of
the Iowa Beef Producers Association.
and asked me to help the board put its
coordination plan thru.
Il declined then and there to be a
party to the scheme. Coordination
was the business OF the board and not
me, and told Mr.. Lambert that I
could not be counted on in the deal.
When got back to the college. I
called in my entire staff Of extension
workers. 1 told the extension workers
to keep their hands off, and they did.
About the middle Of March, when [
was Qpek through Des Moines, acci-
tdeniAlS met Chairman Trewin in the
Slavery lobby. When we met in the
lobby, Trewin swore at me because l
wasn't working in favor Of the boards
CO. ordination plan; and he accused
me Of working against the board.
"TreWin told me that I was holding
my job on probation. and that he would
get revenge, get even or words to that
effect.
Nothing more happened until the
July meeting Of tho board Of education
which was in Cedar Rapids. when the
college budget salaries. ETC.. were up
for considera ton.
Il was attacked at that meeting by
TreWin, Boyd and Lambert, and l was
pu on temporary basis as director
of the extension department at Ames
and | have been on that basis ever
since. My position since that board
meeting has been that OF temporary
director OF the extension department.
This, after I had been twelve years on

futures of cotton and grain was fore
shadowed today when the House rules

luton which Chairman Henry has

day is composed OF Representatives

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 10.
The giant superdreadnought Texas,
most powerful battleship afioat in the
world, today left the yards of her
builders here, the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, for the Nor
folk navy yard, distant only a few
miles, there to be turned over to
Rear Admiral Usher, commandant of
the Norfolk station.
The vessels officers and crew had
been assembled, so that she was
ready to be placed officially in com
mission Immediately after being
turned over by the builders to the
authorized government representa-
tive. The dreadnought was launched
here almost two years ago. Miss

Cecil A. Lyon, of Texas, doing the
honors of the occasion with the tra-
ditional bottle of champagne.
This monster Of the sea carries as
it's principal fighting equipment a bat
terry of ten fourteen-inch guns, being
the first warship in the world to be
fitted out with guns of such large
calibre, and, in addition, has In It's
main battery twenty-one five-inch
guns.
Since the fohrteen-inch guns were
placed on the Texas Japanese bat
tleship has been equipped with
similar-sized ones, although 13.5-inch
guns are the largest which have yet
been placed on any British dread
nought.
The big guns on the Texas are ar
ranged In five turrets, all on central
line from stem to stern, and are so
placed that they can be fired over
each other.
In length the fighter is 573 feet with
a beam ninety-five feet and two and
one-half inches, so that in passing
through the Panama canal locks she
would have almost fifteen feet to
spare. Although her designed speed
was twenty-one knots, in her trials
off the Maine coast last October she
did her fastest test In 22.2S knots.
The vessel has a displacement of
p. .000 tons, a horse power of $4,000 and
draws twenty eight feet six inches.
Her armor belt is eleven inches thick.
Twin screw vertical, triple expansion
engines send the steel-plated fighter
sizzling through the seas. The con-
tract price of the vessel for hull and
machinery was $500, 900. but with
armament added the total cost was
swelled by several millions. sister

rapidly approaching completion, is
now in course Of construction at the
