Launchings throughout the world in
1913 aggregated $4,000 but the an
nual total in 1915 reached the low
water mark of 1901, 900, from which it
rose to the high level of 7.144000 tons
in 1919, falling back to 5,S61, 900 tons
last year.
OF the merchant vessels launched
during 1920, Lioyd's Register super
of the steel steamers and motor ships
of 1000 gross tons and above. A total
of s,G97,141 gross tons of the 1920
world launching was to Lloyd's class,
of which 1,697.45S tons were in the
United Kingdom compared with
1,407, 800 tons during 1919, a gain Of
more than 20 per cent.
Considerable gains over 1919 were
shown by France, which increased the
total of its launchings from 80 900
tons to $4,000 tons last year; Holland
from 137. 900 tons to $4,000 tons, and
Italy from $4,000 tons TO $4,000 tons
Japan, however. showed a marked de-
crease, the total falling from Gil 900
tons for 1919 to 456,0oo0 tons last
year. The British dominions in the
same period declined from 35s, 900
tons to 203.000 tons. All these coun-
tries, however, are materially above
the 1913 level OF launchings.
One respect in which American
shipyards far outstripped the rest OF
the world was in the construction OF

SLAYER STILL BEING
HUNTED AT WILLISTON

Williston, N. D. Sept. 21-Frank
Bann, miner, sought in connection
with the killing of Mack Hendrickson
mine boss who was found near the
entrance Of the Williston Coal and
Ice Company mine, mortally wounded
by gunshot, is still at large.
The finding of Bann's celluloid col.
lar and his necktie near the mine
entrance, leads officials to believe he
was hiding in the brush while they
were shearching his shack and that
to escape in the darkness.
Thorough search of the mine has
exploded the theory that he was hid
ing in some out of the way shaft.
Three suspicious characters who
were brought in by a posse did not
answer the description lof the
wanted man.
