NEWEST YACHT
or MORGAN IS
OCEAN PALACE
Luxurious ocean Liner to
Be 0ne-Third as Long
as LeViathan.
BY PAUL HARRISON
MA Service Writer

BATH. Me. March l4.-The next
time John Pierpont Morgan goes
down to the sea, it will be in the
largest and most costly yacht ever
built. For the new Corsair, fourth
Morgan craft to bear that name, is
no less than a private ocean liner.
IL will be launched from the ways
Of the Bath Iron Works here on
April 10.
Although the yacht was planned
and constructed secretly-even the
launching viii be strictly a family
affair. The Indianapolis Times,
through NEA Service. now is able
to present a detailed description
OF this most luxurious OF floating
palaces.
Tonnage Is 1880
The Corsair is 343 feet in length
more than one-third the overall
measurement of the Leviathan,
largest Of all ocean liners. The
beam, or breadth, is 40 feet 6 inches
-two-thirdS that OF many small
passenger liners.
The cost of the Corsair is upward
of S2500,000 and her tonnage will
be 5000 The famous presidential
yacht Mayfower, recently with
drawn from service by President
Hoover, was only a launch by COM
parison. 1t was of only 100 tons.
Uses Steam Power
Two Morgan traditions have been
carried out with this new princess
OF the sea. All of the Corsairs have
had black hulls with white SUPER
STRUCTURES, and rakish masts fore

FIFTEEN years after his grad

If his profession. A single pre-

for forty years it has continued
to make friends.
AS fast as people could tell
others about the marvellous way
this prescription corrects consti-
patton and relieves other troubles
caused by sluggish bowels, de-
mand for it spread until DR..
Caldwell was forced to have
it filled in quantities; bottled
and distributed through drug
stores.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup

CLASS BUILDING
DECLARED MOST
SENSIBLE TYPE
Space Conserved and Cost
Reduced by One Third,
Says Architect.
BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT,

Designer Of the Imperial Hotel. Toxic.
Written for the Uni.ed Press
CHICAGO. March 14.-Glass-in-
cased apartment houses and office
buildings, which have recently de-
signed, unquestionably are the more
sensible type of tall structures in
this age of cocgested metropolitan
construction.
I and my associates Charles l..
Morgan, now are engaged in plan
ming eight of these glass apartment
buildings for New York City on a
site near st. Marks church, and a
glass Office building in Chicago's
Loop. We expect to have this
project under way shortly.
Economy Doubled
The idea Of using modern ma
terialS such as metals and glass:
Shop-fabricated, copper and newer
alloys, and the wide range of glass
products combined with cantileYer
construction, which brought the I'M
perial hotel at Toxic through the
earthquake, has double economy.
Not only is a great amount OF
space saved, due to not using mas
onry walls and partitions to give
stability and durability, but the
cost of construction is reduced
about one-third Building bulk by
this system will not only be a third
lighter, but three times stronger
than tall building construction as
practiced today.
Insulation Obtained
Insulation against excessive light
and too great visibility is obtained
either by using translucent or
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-03-14

Opaque glass, or the handling OF
the metal setting itself. Insulation,
too, is managed by methods thae
dispose of the heating problem
economically.
Cantilever construction estab-
fishes in the building a perfect bal
ance. Instead of heavy, unSound
walls carrying a good share OF the
weight of the building. the eanti-
lever method places the stress on
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-03-14

and aft the single stacks. And this
yacht will be powered by steam, as
were all the others.
The economy of Diesel engines
had no appeal TOR j. P Morgan,
nor would he make any sacrifice to
speed or power. That is why the
Corsair is fitted with the steam
turbines and electric drive which
only commercial liners can boast.
She is a twin screw yacht with
two independent power plants. A
third turbine-driyen generator,
capable of lighting a small city,
supplies the electric power for living
quarters and controls

DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin as
you buy it from your drug store
is made in accordance with the
original formula from only herbs
and other pure ingredients. 1t
is pleasant tasting; it's action
is thorough in the most obstinate
cases; gently effective for women
and children. Above all, it repre-

is safe for the bowels.

NEW STREET BILL
Propose Abandonment
Scheme of Park Body Held
Too Broad.

Believing that the bill of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
to permit abandonment on the highway
plan Of streets that become unneces-
sary or inadvisable is too broad in its
powers, the District Commissioners are
drafting substitute measure.
This was made known to the Senate
District committee yesterday afternoon
by Engineer Commissioner Ladue, who
asked the committee to postpone con-
sideration of the question until next
week, when the Commissioners new
bill will be ready.
Lieut.. Col. q. S. Grant, Sd, of the
Park Commission, said he did not want
to rush consideration of the bill, but
hoped the committee would give 1t early
action.
The committee held a hearing yes
terday on a bill to modernize portions
of the corporation laws of the District.
This measure was referred to Senator
Robson of Kentucky to perfect certain
changes in 1t before the committee acts.
Levi Cook, who explained the bill to
the committee, said the antiquity of
the present corporation law of the Dis
trict makes 1t necessary for corpora
lions to organize under the laws OF
nearby States.
The pending bill would provide def
nitely for preferred and common stock
and for classification of common stock
Cook said there is nothing in the pres
ent law to provide for preference
stock. Another section would permit a
corporation to sell its property with
the consent Of two-thirds of the stock
holders, with certain safeguards to pro-
tect the rights Of minority Stockhold-
ers. At present. the witness said, a
corporation can liquidate, but 1t can
not sell unless the stockholders are
unanimous.
The committee made a favorable re-
port on bill to exempt from the work.

ployes of non-profit-making organiza-

The Commissioners sent to the Senate
committee yesterday afternoon a bill
authorizing them to condemn narrow
strips of land on both sides of Wisconsin
avenue in the vicinity of Davis street
for sidewalk purposes.
