DANIELS PRAISES
YANKEE ENGINEERS
Calls Arizona ella Monster"
and Tells of Future Ships at
Navy Yard Dinner.

Secretary Daniels voiced his conf
dence in American naval engineers last
night at a dinner of the navy yard en-
ployes held in the armory of the 23d
Regiment, in Brooklyn. Governor Hunt
of Arizona proclaimed his faith in
christening fluid with a punch"
1--WE are studying at Washington"
said Mr.. Daniels, "the problem of
building battleships that cannot be
sunk by torpedoes. believe that we
shall solve it. believe nothing is i'm
possible to American engineers"
Secretary Daniels referred 10 the
newly launched Arizona as the ella
monster and declared that within few
years she would not seem so immense
a fighting machine.
Tomorrow" said Mr.. Daniels, 1--WE
start work on the California, and then
we shall build another and another and
each shall be better and more powerful
than its predecessor"
In the future, Mr. Daniels declared, il
was his hope that submarines would be
built in government navy yards. Until
last year IL had never been attempted,
he said He declared that the United
States Navy was a powerful one, and
that eleven Dreadnoughts that were
"on the way" would make il still more
powerful in the interests Of peace.
SO satisfactory had been the work in
the construction Of the Arizona. Secre-
tary Daniels said. that he could prom
Use continuous work in the navy yard
for many months 10 come.
Governor Hunt said that in Arizona
people loved peace and were proud Of
the honor Of having a battlcship named
for the state.
I'VE prize peace so highly out there"
he said, that we are willing TO fight
for IL. We felt somehow that when
this big lighting ship was named it
ought 70 be doused with a christening
fluid that had a punch in il. For that
reason we used the old-fashioned
champagne as well as the water from
Roosevelt Dam"
Other speakers were Franklin D.
Roosevelt Assistant Secretary of the
Navy; William b. Wilson, Secretary
of Labor: Andrew J. Peters, Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury; Representa-
tive James p, Maher and former Rep
resentative William VI. Calder Almost
1900 navy yard workmen attended the
dinner.
Rear Admiral Usher was unable 70
be present because Of the illness of his
mother. Captain George t. Burd, who
was to take his place, was detained at
the last moment, and Naval Constructor
Robert Stocker was called upon foT an
impromptu speech. He was the builder
Of the Arizona. The work had been
done in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. he de-
clared, with more speed and efficiency
than ever before.

tear her asunder. Inside she was
braced and shorei in every direction
with timbers to stiffen her against the
various stresses and strains incident to
her moving.
At her bows nine toggle blocks on
each side were dashed together by steel
wire ropes running under the keel.
These pressed snugly on the outside
against mighty snoring within, holding
the forward part Of the vessel solid
so there would be no warping Of her
structure when the after part began to
float and the bow was still on shore.
Within a hundred feet of the stern
were dog shores, long, blunt wedges
that bumped up under the cradle, hold
ing the whole mass from moving. A
sixty-ton hydraulic jack depressed the
dog shores, and then the only thing
that held the ship was the hydraulic
triggers, new device in launching.
They were under the midships sec
ton, two steel bars, one engaging the
cradle each side of the keel. They were
held in place by hydraulic piston rams
in cylinders under a pressure OF from
/ 200 to $500 pounds TO the square
inch. Naval Constructor Stocker, who
was in charge of the launching, stood
with his hand on the levers controlling
these triggers, and it was his arm that
gave the final impulse which sent the
great ship on her way.
He and bis assistants were down be-
meath the hull, in the trigger pit. The
great mass moved above them, then
gained speed. If she looked as if she
were moving slowly to the spectators
above the ground, there was nothing
slow about the way she was flying over
their heads at the end-and then she
was gone, and they stood blinking in
the sun. They climbed out and
watched the tugs in the river get her.
Following the launching there was a
luncheon in one of the buildings of the
navy yard, to which were admitted only
guests holding special tickets. The
! newspaper reporters hustled over 70 the

PLAYS RIPPER ROLE
TO WIN GIRL IDOL
Grammar School Miss, Ignored
by Classmate, Arrested for
Writing Death Notes.

Bayonne, n. j., June 19-Helen Pill
kers, thirteen years old, one of the
brightest girls in the graduating class
of Public School 2, was arrested to-day
for writing threatening letters to tie
family Of Marie Orlow, a classmate Of
about the same age.
Helen lives at 81 East Twenty-third
Street. About a year ago Marie's fam
lily moved into house across the street.
In Helen's eyes Marie was the most de-
sirable acquaintance imaginable. For
weeks her conversation dealt almost en-
tirely with the fine qualities of her new
neighbor.
Then Marie's name was suddenly
dropped. Helen became more reticent,
and seemed worried, but assured her
parents that she felt well. All her en-
thusiastic advances had been repulsed
by her idol.
II was about that time-four months
ago-that letters signed Jack the Rip
per" began to reach Marie's home.
Every second day the letters came. On
Friday came a letter which announced
that Marie's brother Joe, nine years
old, was to die yesterday. Certain pc
CuIlaTllles convinced the detectives tnat
child was the author, and they took
the letter TO every school in Bayonne.
Robert Lovett, principal Of Public
School 2, declared that the writing re-
sembled that OF Helen Pilkers, and the
detectives went 10 her house with the
missive. Helen readily admitted writ
ing il and the others as well.
"Of course | didn't mean to kill any
- ~ l. IL
hurt a fly. But Marie Orlow has re-
fused to have anything 10 do with me,
and | thought if | could get her good
and scared she would be glad of my
friendship. She is my ideal girl"
Helen will be arraigned in the
juvenile court tomorrow. the first day
of commencement week in her school.
She was to have been graduated on
Wednesday.

the water she was travelling at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, but il did
no look possible,
The superdreadnought took the water
as easily as a rowboat. A trimming glass
on her deck would scarcely have spilled
a drop, it seemed, she went so steadily
into the water. Then as she was com
pletely in, resting as high and buoy
antly as a cork, there was a little dip
of her prov, and she swan on serenely
out into the river, in great graceful
curve, turning upstream. But not far,
for, like a pack of terriers attacking n
great boar, a score Of tugs closed in
about her and snubbed her up. She
had displaced 81, 400 tons, but only
what looked like little ripple ran
over the water as she glided in.
The Arizona slid to the water over
two parallel strips of planking 70
inches wide and 900 feet long, built
Of smoothed timbers nicely joined and
strongly braced. The lower ends Of
these ways extended under water for
160 feet eleven feet below the surface.
In the cradle and the sliding ways
there were the equivalent of 100000
board feet Of lumber. The slope of the
inclined plane was at the rate OF
eieven-s ixteenths of an inch TO the
foot. Thirty thousand pounds Of a
specially mixed grease were put be
tween the sliding ways Of the launch
ing cradle and the stationary ways.
The elapsed time between the first
move and the moment she floated clear
was about thirty seconds, and at the
end she was going twenty-five feet a
second, or fifteen miles an hour.
Is Guarded Against Warping.
Greater care had to be taken in
launching that mountain Of steel than
in launching a birch bark canoe. Any
little precaution overlooked would have
meant 70 warp the hull and perhaps

door to hear Secretary Daniels's speech
which was to follow the luncheon. They
found the way blocked by young naval
officers, who were Standing ,o0 orders"
they said, and could admit no one with
out the special cards. So the Secre-
tary's words, loud as they were, did not
reach the newspaper mems ears. In
his speech, which had been sent out
well in advance, Secretary Daniels said
the navy experts were experimenting
with devices TO protect ships from tor
pedo attacks, and he also spoke of the
fact that the California, the next super
dreadnought TO be laid down at the
New York Navy Yard, would have cleo
trio propulsion. Other speakers were
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona; Hilary
A. Herbert and Miss Ross.

NEW BRITISH FIGHTERS
ARlZONA'S ONLY RIVALS

The greatest fighting ships afloat
are the L. S. S. Arizona, launched
Yesterday, and the British ships of
the type of II. VI. S. Queen Eliza
beth, now engaged in forcing the
Dardanelles.
A comparison of the fighting
power of these ships gives a slight
advantage to the latest addition To
Uncle Sans fleet. While the Queen
Elizabeth has a main battery of
eight ffteen-inch guns, the Arizona
will have twelve fourteen-inch guns.
The secondary battery of the Brit
ish ship consists of sixteen six-inch
guns, while the Arizona will have
twenty-five fve-inch guns.
What advantage this may be is
offset by the fact that the Queen
is four knots faster than the Ari-
iona, having a speed of twenty-five
knots. and her fuel capacity is con-
siderably greater. Both are oil
ships, and the tanks on the British
shin will accommodate $500 tons OF
the fuel to 1922 on the American
ship.
The displacement of the Queen is
27,5OO tons, and its turbine engines
can develop $4,000 horsepower. The
Arizona has a displacement of 3D.
400 tons, with $4,000 horsepower.
Great Britain paid S1l,75O,OOO for
her leviathan, while the Arizona will
cost s16,OO0,OOO when completed.
Both ships have a complement of
about 1000 men.

HISTORY OF Open SALOON
Lincoln County Has Record OF Crime
Which Is Traced to aSlOOn.

The Shoshone Journal gives the
history of the open saloon in Lincoln
county in the following, and it does
not kill any argument in their favor,
there is nome to kill.
Only two months ago two young
men were sent to the States prison
from this county for doing to death a
companion whom they afterward
robbed. The two were crazy-drunk,
according to the testimony at the
trial
Just about year ago, a farmer in
this neighborhood, who by hard
work, had accumulated nice start
for his large family shot himself
when all his savings had gone the
saloon route, and he was buried a
pauper, leaving destitute family on
the charity of the world.
Two weeks ago a farmer, who had
been successfully retaining q large
body Of land and who had taken
John Barleycorn into partnership be-
came insane and was taken to the
state asylum at Blackfoot, where
there are scores of others like him
and from the same sort of partner
ship.
Not much over a year ago a drink
crazed wayfarer from this town was
shot dead in his tracks as he tried to
invade the home of farmer a few
miles out of town.
Negroes are not allowed to land in
Shoshone because of the circum-
stances that a few months ago one
of that race, frenzied with liquor
beat up the town marshal, took away
his weapon and when pursued fired
with not quite deadly effect upon the
body of the county treasurer, Vernon
Bower. But the vigilance that keeps
out the darkies ever since that time
never blames the booze.
In spite of the regulations made
and provided for preventing the sale
of liquor for the use of inebriates
upon the complaint of wife or other
members of the family, husbands still
obtain the drink they crave and
among the scores of others this one
is mentioned because his wife had to
flee the country to escape from his
wrath and he steadily progresses to-
wards his own self-destruction, with
nothing left on an accumulated. for
tune of five thousand dollars which he
had before the advent of the open
saloon in Shoshone.
Count up if you can the number
of destitute families or broken homes
from the same cause. The deaths
may be traced in the mortuary re-
cords at the court house. The list is
by no means complete.
The Jail here in Shoshone is gem
orally we'll filled with prisoners who
are mostly committed there in a
drunken condition or in consequence
of drunkenness. The overburdened
taxpayer fo6ts the bills as to the
money charges Of thousands of dol
lars, but the greatest suffering falls
not upon the taxpayers but upon in
nocent and helpless women and
children.
In SAYING this the journal is say
ing nothing personally against the
saloon-keeper but against the damn
able business of the open saloon.

POCAItlIO BOY IN FRAY
Only 66 Comrades Left of English Reg

To be wounded several times and

no, son of Thomas Murray, and nephew
of j. f. Murray, a leading 'Pocatello

His father, Thomas Murray, writes
from the College, London, to a

Thanks for your kind inquiry

RAILROAD ARBITRATION
Testimony of Engineers Nearly all in
in Western Railroad Trouble.

Chicago, Jan. 9.--The first stage
of the arbitration under the Newland
act of the wage demands of engineers,
firemen and hostlers of ninety eight
western railroads is nearing it's close.
Testimony for the men, it is expect
ed will be finished next week, and
then the presentation of the railroad
side of the case will begin.
What, from the standpoint of the
men, is regarded as one of the most
important pieces of evidence present.
ed since the hearings began more
than month ago was presented to-
day by w. j. Lauck, a statistician, who
completed four days of testimony of a
highly technical nature
The testimony bore ON the ability of
the railroads to pay the increases ask
ed by the men. Lauck declared they
were abundantly able to do so, basing
his statement on the voluminous array
of figures from railroad reports to the
interstate commission.
Lauck said that forty-three repre-
sentative railroads could deduct a
proper profit on their investment in
bigger engines and cars, reduced
curves and grades and the like, and
still have $50,000,000 left each year
to pay the men for the increased
share they have had in heaping up
earnings, and for an emergency re-
serve fund, He said that the ratio
would hold good for all the railroads
involved.
On this basis it was calculated
roughly that all railroads involved are
earning 100000 900 a year on in
creased efficiency of equipment road
bed, grades and labor. Accepting the
rough estimate of the railroad man
ayers that the advances would cost
them S30,000,000, Lauck figured that
the advance could be met and a hand
some margin left for an emergency
fund.
James NJ. Sheehan, attorney for
the railroads, maintained a cross-fire
at questions throughout the day, hut
formal cross examin was reserved
for next Monday. His questions
today brought an admission from
Lauck that in calculating gross in
comes the same dollar figures in GER
tain instances, in the earnings of a
given railroad and again in the in
come of any other railroad owning
stock in the one first mentioned. He
claimed that this was offset by the
enormous wealth in coal and timber
lands of certain lines, but which are
given merely normal valuations in re-
ports to the interstate commerce COM

PROJECT FREE FROM CHOLERA
DIR. l.. c, Henderson Praises Burley
Farmers for Cooperation.

Dr. Henderson was called from Twin
Falls on Tuesday to inspect herd of
hogs suspected of having cholera at
the George Ward farm south of Marsh
field. A thorough examination failed
to reveal any evidence of the disease,
and the doctor pronounced the trouble
to be indigestion.
Dr. Henderson is a booster for the
Minidoka project. He is very favor
ably impressed with the land here,
and is enthusiastic in his praise of the
farmers for their hearty cooperation
with the department in Graduating the
cholera He informs us that in only
one instance has there been a lack of
cooperation, and that some of the
most thorough work he ever saw done
in cleaning up has been done by the
farmers here, mentioning especially
the case of Chas. Preston, of Marsh
field, in this connection.
The doctor stated that the chances
are fairly good that the cholera has
been eradicated from the project. as
there has not been an outbreak in the
last six weeks. However, the farm
ers should be very careful and in case
