SCHOONER TO :.
Be NAMED FOR
HAzEN J: TITUS

Christened with potato the aux
iliary powered schooner Hazen J. Tit
us will be launched early in May by
the American Shipbuilding Corporation
Of Astoria, according to an announce.
ment yesterday. The potato is to be
followed out and filled with champ
agne.
The announcement gave the first
news that a. ship is to be named for
the well-known superintendent of din
ing cars Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. Titus long ago became famous
as the discoverer Of the great big
baked potato. Harry B. Spears, a
Spokane capitalist, who is q member
of the American Shipbuilding Company
decided that any man who discovered
anything about a potato should be hon
ored by having his name painted on
the bows Of an oceancarrier and the
other owners Of the corporation fell
in with the idea.
Ere long some cigar manufacturer
will name a five-center after Titus, &C
cording to his railroad friends in Sc
attic, and then his fame will be COM
piete.
Some Of tho directors of the Ameri-
can Shipbuilding Company baked at
the idea of christening a ship with a
potato, but as compromise it was
decided to hollow it out and fill it WITH
champagne. Herbert Hanlon, Of the
Seattle Transportation Club, is to have
the Job of filling the tuber with the
;bubbling refreshment.
