BOSTON, October 2.-Even the
queen ships of the United States
navy. the group of electrically driven
fighting vessels that includes the
u. s. S. Maryland and West Virginia,
most powerful battieships in the
world, will be eXcelled in propulsion
power, speed and length by the U. S.
s. Lexington, the second of two air
plane carriers. to Nbe launched tomor-
row noon at the Fore River plant Of
ton in Quincy, Mass. The other, the
U. S. S. Saratoga. was launched this
Spring at Camden, n. J.
Originally these two vessels were to
have been battle cruisers and as such
would have been classed the mightiest
men-o'-war possessed by the Navy.
However. the modification of Amer
ica;s naval program, due to the de.
cisions reached at the conference on
the limitation of armaments, led to
the conversion of these battle cruisers
into airplane carriers.
The Navy at present has but one
airplane carrier. the L. :. s. Lang
ley. named after the scientist who
made the first practical investigation
of aeronautiCs. This ship was rebuilt
from the old collier, Jupiter. the first
vessel of the Navy to be equipped with
turbine electric drive

The Lexington to be launched to-
morrow will he literally floating air

vessel. it will class with the Saratoga

Its power plant will ,be capable of
developing the tremendous force of
1SO. O.UO8 horsepower. This is greater
than. the combined rated output of the
six electric-driven capital ships now in
New Mexico, California,
Tennessee, Maryland, Colorado and
West Virginia.
The speed of the Lexington will be
more than 33 knots. or 1916 knots
more than the speed of the Maryland.
Its length is S74 feet and it's beam
ise 10a feet. The Maryland is 624
feet long at the water line, with

supplying the electrical needs of a
city of 10000 inhabitants
Few persons would suppose that
any ship afloat could require such a
volume Of electrical energy. Yet this
ship will consume the entire electrical
output of it's individual electrical
plant.
The principal use to be made of the
electricity. of course. will be for pro
pulsion of the ship. A speed of 33
knots is equivalent to about 80 miles
an hour or fully as fast as the aver
age express train. When 1t Is con-
sidered that this speed can send a
ship weighing more than $4,000 tons
through the sea. even in the most
stormy weather. 1t Is possible to real
fze what a vast driving power will
be. embodied in these giants of the
water.
The propulsion apparatus will con-
sist of four, 35.200-kilowatt turbine
generator sets, supplying current to
eight powerful electric motors. The
turbine generators will be operated
by steam from 16 oil-fired boilers.
The motors will be connected In
pairs to each of the four propeller
shafts. Each pair of motors will have
an aggregate weight of 100000 pounds.
Each motor has capacity of 22,500
horsepower and measures Is feet in
diameter. This will cause them to
stand almost as high as three men.
standing on each others shoulders.
Energy 10000 Horsepower.
The energy which will be delivered
to each shaft by the motors will be
$4,000 horsepower. or a total OF all
four shafts. Of 900 horsepower.
Upon the impulse of this immense
force, the propeller blades will revolve
317 times minute.
The total weight Of the propulsion
apparatus will be 2,200 tons. Each
generator set will be about 40 feet in
length, and each pair of motors about
"a feet.
In addition to the propulsion ma
chinery, the Lexington will be pro-
vided with six 750-kilowatt. direct
current, auxiliary turbine generator
sets, which will furnish direct cur
rent for all electrical purposes except

Kidnappin Tale Told By Accused Oriental

VANCOUVER, B. C., May 21.-(P) Wong Foon Sing, Chinese house boy held in Oakalla prison near here on a charge of murdering Janet Smith, whose body was found in the basement of the home of Aalph P. Baker, of Vancouver July 26, gave an explanation to his counsel of the events that led up to the day when police picked him up wander ing the streets blindfolded and daz- ed.
 According to the statement of his disappearance from the Osler ave- nue residence in Shaughnessy Heights, an exclusive residence dis trict, March 20, he had gone down to his room in the basement to dress before walking down town. As he was leaving the house after dress ing he saw two men on the side walk, whose appearance frightened him, and he withdrew into the base ment only to be confronted by an- other man with his face covered.
 A fourth man then appeared and Wong was bound with rope and gagged and something was put over his head
 The four kidnappers, the story con- tinued, then whisked their captive in a waiting motor car to an old deserted stable about one hours drive from Shaughnessy Heights, and there subjected him to the third degree in an effort to make him tell more than he had related in an inquest about the death of Miss Smith, maid in the Baker home.
 The tale concluded with Wong's removal the night before last in an automobile and his release on Ma rine Drive.

FAIRBANKS NEWS

Aviator Noel Wien, who was forced to land on bar of the Toklat, trib- utary of the Kantishna river, about 50 miles from Nenana, last week while returning from the Koyukuk, returned to the scene of his forced landing on Monday to look the plane over and prepare to bring it back to Fairbanks. He and aviator Young made the trip in the extra plane but found they could not land on account of high water. One wing of the Wien plane was in the water and some damage was done at the time of landing as the result of having encountered a stump on the bar. Vein went back on Tuesday by water to make the ne- cessary repairs, and should have the plane ready for the return flight by the end of the week at the latest, pro- viding the river level lowers suffi- ciently for takeoff.
 In his three-day mush from the plane to Nenana, at the time of the forced landing, Wien had very little to eat. He started with three buns and when they gave out he killed grouse and then a squirrel, which he cooked over campfire in the woods. He encountered deep snow on the hills and was forced to wade streams partially filled with ice, and the wa ter up to his waist. He felled trees to cross the deeper streams and at one place had to build raft

Your Excellency, Hon. Members of the
Colonial Council, Ladies and Gentlemen:-
have n claim to speak TO you this
afternoon which is not shared either by
the Hon. Speaker who has preceded me
or by any other of my colleagues who are
assembled here today. 1t is that am
the only native physician on this island,
and IOw by the melancholy process of
time [ am the senior, in point Of service
of the representatives of the town Of
Christiansted in our Colonial Council.
Just a little more than one year ago it
was my privilege to speak on behalf Of
the people of this town, at the opening
exercises in connection with the con
~structi0n of the first public reservoir on
this island, and today | am GLAD to enjoy
the even greater honor OF again address
ing you at this more urgent and impOr-
tant project the rebuilding OF Peters
Farm Hospital.
1t is a strange and significant fact but
Peters Farm Hospital seems destined to
occupy and hold an outstanding position
in our islands history.
When several years ago under the
former administration the attention Of the
Mother Country was focused on this is
land and adequate reforms contemplated
and were about to be made effective,
Peters Farm was its centre and its inspi-
ration, and today when, for the first time
under the new administration our Gov
ernor is present with US at an open public
function and our hope is. that we are a
bout to enter en- a new era OF public con
struction and development, Peters Farm
is again a centre Of attraction.
BulI think TOO, you will agree with me,
