GIANT MAJESTIC DRYDocKED.
Was Worked Into Position at Boston
BY Twelve Tugs.

Boston, Nov. 16.--The White Star
liner Majestic, biggest ship afloat. was
dryddcked to-day at the Common
wealth dock, owned by the United
States navy, the only plant in the
world now in operation that is large
enough to cradle the giant liner.
Slipping into the harhor in the
morning mist "a hours out from New
York, the Majestic was warped into
the dock by battery Of ~ tugs, all
lined up on her port side, in forty
minutes. Notwithstanding her length
of $50 feet and her beam Of 100 feet,
there was room and to spare for the
big boat, and the special blocks pre-
pared for her bed.

uled to start from New York on Nov.
25, the Majestic's hull win be scraped
and painted. In the course Of her ca
reer as the Bismarck of the German
mercantile marine, and the Majestic,
awarded to the White Star line, she
has collected some six tons Of sea
growth. With this removed, and her
sides slilSed with now paint, her
speed should be increased BY several
knots an hour. At the same time the
big liner win take on new set Of
proppellers pitched for higher speed.
With the Manretania making new rec
ords in the Cunard line service, the
Majestic after her overhsuling will
be prepared to approach more closely
10 the transatlantic crossing mini
mum.
The docking operation was observed
by Commodore G. A. Bartlett of the
White Star line, who came here from
Europe especially for the purpose, as
his was the first time the Majestic
had been docked. Several other ex-
,erts were present, together with most
# the officers of the first naval dis
,rict.
On the trip from New York. Com
nander Sir Bertram Hayes had COM
nand Of his ship with Pilot John Fl.

SOMETHING
ALLIED HIS HEAD
HIBBARD WROTE
And He Was Tired of Liv-
ing So He Fired a Rifle
Bullet Through His
Head - Ralph Perkins
Heard Shot and Found
Hibbard's Body

Oxford, N. IT., Nov. l6.-The suicide
by shooting yesterday Of Earl M. Hib-
bard at lumber camp outside this
town was coupled to-day with the
murders last week Of John and Charles
Davis, aged brothers, by investigators
who have been withont clue to the
slayers of the latter. Without reason
in the relations of the men to believe
that Hibbard had any hand in the kill
ings, the authorities yet found IN the
fact that Hibbard had in his shack a
shoe stained with blood cause for turn
ing their inquiries toward the posi-
bility that there might be a connection
between the murders and the suicide
In pursuing this line. Of investiga
tion they arranged to take finger prints
of Hibbard for comparision with those,
on the blood-stained handle of the axe
with which the Davis brothers We're
killed. 1t was planned also to see If
there was any print or mark left in the
Davis house which might correspond
with the stained shoe found in the Hib-
bard shack.
Hibbard killed himself with rife
which he had taken from home during
hunting trip, and wrote on the back
of his hunters license note TO his
son, Carl Hibbard, that he was tired
Of living and that something allied his
head
Ralph Perkins Heard, Shot.
Ralph Perkins, while working in the
woods about $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, heard shot in the direc-
rion Of his cabin, near the base Of Bax !
ter mountain. On arriving there, more
than an hour later, he found Hibbard's |
body lying across log near the door
of the cabin. Failing to arouse the man,
he produced light and discovered d |
bullet wound in the neck, extendinS
through the skull. A rife w9s gfaspAl /

man had shot himself. This view was
later confirmed by Medical Referte

license, on the back of which was
written:

STEALING HISTORICAL TABLETS.

The theft of the bronze tablet placed
on Butts Hill last summer on the an
niversary OF the battle of Rhode Is
land emphasizes the desirability of
marking historical spots with inscrip-
tons on material of no intrinsic value.
Bronze is peculiarly adapted for the
purposes of patriotic and historical So
cieties, but 1t seems to have the dis
advantage of arousing the cupidity of
constituencies offenders. In isolated
places like Butts Hill, the scene of the
only land battle fought in Rhode Island
during the War of the Revolution,
metal thieves can work without fear of
interruption, and II the tablet Is melted
there fs little chance OF learning the
identity of the person or persons guilty
of such despicable vandalism.
As the work of marking places of
historic interest Is not completed, the
desirablity of selecting material not
marketable Is obvious. Something al
ready has been done in this direction.
On the State reservation in the
South county the site of the old fort
overlooking the ocean is marked by n
great boulder on the face of which the
inscription Is cut In deep letters. The
site Of the opening skIrmish of the bat
tie or Rhode Island Ia designated by a
granite block suitably lettered. Stone
Is 50 plentiful In Rhode Island that
nothing is TO be gained by stealing a
boulder or a block of dressed granite
The cost of moving il would exceed the
price that could be obtained from a
dealer in stone, and If stolen il could
be more readily traced than portable
tablet OF bronze. Granite Is the best
of the stone available In that Il is not
affected by climatic changes.
While nothing is more suitable than
bronze for outdoor inscriptions, the
fact remains that IL has attractions for
most contemplate class of thieves
ana that in remote places a substitute
Tor metal Is often desirable. PROV.

ORR PYGMY ELEPHANT.

How fortunate the New York Zoo
logical Park Is in acquiring a pygmy
elephant may be understood from the
fact that only two specimens of this
rare beast are known TO have been
captured. No wild animal has been
more zealously sought by hunters.
The pygmy elephants have been pur-
sued in the African jungles for nearly
a score of years but have succeeded
in eluding the collectors.
1t was not until 1905 that these
diminutive elephants came under the
notice Of scientists. Among the ele-
plants of Africa the pygmy from the
French Congo was declared the most
interesting. The scientific name CT
Africanus pumilio was given TO it on
the strength of the specimen which
came into possession of Hagenbeck
Of Hamburg
This famous collector figured that
the elephant captured in the French
Congo was then about six years old.
He based his conclusion on the tusks
and IN the difference between the
front and hind legs. II was not an
abnormally dwarfed or understood
representative of the African ele-
plant. but had attained the growth
Of an ordinary pachyderm Of the age
of year and a half. Since the time
this specimen was introduced to Eu-
ropean scientists until the announce
ment of William T. Hornaday that
our own geological garden had Sc
cured another such prize no other
pygmy elephant was heard of.
In his Life Histories Of African
Game Animals" Q91D Theodore
Roosevelt was not inclined 10 credit
the reports concerning pygmy ele-
plants. "A pygmy specimen llv-
ing in West Africa" he writes. has
been described recently, but it has
no standing in nature, being simply
young specimen + the West Afri-
can elephant The only true pygmy
species at present known are the
fossil ones from the Mediterranean
basin"
Such difference of opinion on the
subject OF pygmies In Africa has been
heard of before. Was il not warmly
denied even after the writings OF
Paul du Chaillu that pygmy race.

SMITH BOOM STARTED,

In politics. as in other lines of en-
deavor, nothing succeeds like sue
cess" Former Governor and Cover
nor-elcct Alfred Smith of New York
is becoming we'll aware of the truth
of this aphorism.
Two years ago. as n candidate for
reelection, Governor Smith went
down to defeat, but still retained high
distinction. President Harding carried
the State by more than million ma
jority, but Governor Smith was de-
feated by Governor Miller by only 49,
0O0. Last Tuesday Governor Smith
beat Miller by more than 400. 900 ma
jority.
Now this triumphant leader OF the
Empire State Democracy is being
hailed at the national leader of the
Democratic party in 1924. He is re-
garded as PRESIDENTIAL timber OF the
most available character. He has
proved himself winner, and he IS a
man OF high character and tested
ability. And his name is Smith. which
of itself ought to be an assurance OF
at least a million votes for the Presi-
dency from all the other members OF
the prolific Smith family throughout
the country.
However, the field is open and will
remain open for a year and a half.

While defeat would not have seriously

that he should have won the short
term also.
Mr.. Bayard will present his creden-

brought to the front, and among the
probabilities prominently mentioned
is Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Sec

suggested as an available candidate
for governor OF New York.
There is interesting significance in
this mention. Young Roosevelt's dis

practically began his political career
as governor of the Empire State. 1t
would be only natural for young
Roosevelt TO indulge in fond hopes
that he may travel the same pathway

travelled.
At this time there is no intimation
that young Roosevelt is possessed OF
those unusual and commanding char
acteristics which enabled his father
10 reach such high station. But he
may develop in time.
Nor can he have assurance that the
amazing political luck which attended
his fathers career will fall to him
