BUILT HERE FOR ARGENTINE Senor de Naon Breaks Champagne at Christening as Thousands of Americans Applaud. | | | CRAFT 585 LONG; 98 IN WIDTH Armor Strip 12 Inches Thick and Ex- | tends 200 Feet—Twelve Guns in Main Battery. Quiney, Mass., Aug. 26.—Declared | to have no equal afloat as a first-class fighting machine, the dreadnought Rividavia, the largest ship of war now building or under design and the first battleship ever built in the Unit- ed States for a foreign power, was| successfully launched from the yards of the Fore River Shipbuilding Com- pany shortly after noon today. The Rividavia is being built for the Ar- gentine Republic. A sister ship, the Moreno, is under construction at Camden, N. J., and will scon be ready for launching. As the big hull started down the ‘ways with the golden sunburst on a field of blue and white, the colors of the republic of Arentine, flying from the stern, Semora de Naon, wife of the Argentine Minister to the United States, broke a gayly be-ribboned bot- tle of champagne against the keel of the great ship and spoke words that gave the vessel its name. In per- forming the christening ceremony Senora de Naon acted as proxy for president of the Argentine Republic. Americans Cheer Senora. Thausands cheered and waved their hats as the giant hull rushed into the water. Among those who witnessed the spectable were a num- ber of the South American diplomats Who are spending the summer in New England, together with numerous na- val officers from Charlestown, Brook- lyn and elsewhere and experts from the naval department and various shipbuilding companies, all of whom have been greatly interested in the construction of the Rividavia, which has come to be known among ship- building men as a superdreadnought. . Externally the Rivadavia closely resembles the British battleship Lion | and the Arkansas and Wyoming of | the United States navy. In height she agrees with several of the latest English and American dreadnoughts. Her displacement, however, exceeds that of even the greatest of the Eng- lish and American battleships. Nearly 600 Feet Long. Her large displacement of 26,500 tons is expected to make her very sea- worthy and insure a high offensive and defensive efficiency. Her length | is 585 feet, beam 98 feet and nor-’ mal draught 27 feet 6 inches. Her height above the normal water line at the forecastle will be- 25 feet 6| inches, amidship 22 feet 8 inches and astern 17 feet 1 inch. The super- structure on the upper deck will be| completely suppressed o avoid ob- struction of the arc of fire of the main guns. The main armor belt has a uni- form thickness of 12 inches and is 200 feet long, extending 4 feet 9 inches above and 3 feet 4 inches be- low the normal water line. In gen- eral the arrangement of armor fol-| lows English, American and Japanese | ideas, but as regards thickness and distribution it resembles what has been adopted on the Japanese ships now building. The vessel is divided into numerous watertight compart- ments, fitted with electrically driven centrifugal pumps, which can be op- érated even when the compartment is.completely flooded. Has Room For 4,000 Tons. The motive power is steam tur-| bines and the coal bunkers have a ca- pacity of 4,000 tons. The main tur- bines can develop 39,500 horsepower with one inch of air in the fire rooms. The ‘ship must make a speed of 22 1-2 knots an hour for eight hours with a displacement of 27,500 tons. The main battery of the Rivadavia will consist of twelve 12 inch guns, mounted in pairs turrets, so that they can all be fired at once. In addition to the 12 inch guns her armament will include twelve 6 inch and twelve 4 inch guns, belldg! smaller field and | Boston to Nashua, N. H.; inch submerged torpedo tubes. A new feature is placing the axis of the 6 inch guns at 19 feet 6 inchs above the normal water line in order to avoid the necessity of closing the ports in rough weather and render- ing the guns practically useless. Two Conning Towers. There are two conning towers, one forward of 12 inch armor, and the other aft of 9 inch armor. The fire control towers are located one on the auxiliary mast, one above each con- ning tower, one auxiliary station on each side of the ship on small inde- pendent armored turrets, and one main control station within the case- mate under the protective deck. The electric power will be supplied by two main stations in duplicate, and there will be a third auxiliary sta- tion for illuminating the ship and handling the turrets in praetice.

DREAM LOCATES DROWNED LAD Singular Coincidence of Vision By _Man in His Sleep. It was noted recently the drowning of a boy named Jonny Ward in Mill river, and was at the time said that his body had not been found. That night a man who is familiar with the circumstances of the case had a dream in which he saw the boy, so he states, clinging to a post under a building. Yesterday a careful search for the body was made, and it was found under Daniel’s mill, on Mill street, the arms of the lad firmly clasped about a piece of timber used for a support to the building. The finding of the body in the position as seen in the dream is singular.— Hartford Courant. AN ANCIENT NEEDLE FACTORY Discovered Near Glastonbury, Eng- land, of Great Interes_ t. “The discovery. of a’ prehistoric needle factory at a prehistoric lake village near Glastonbury, England, roused much interest recently. The dwellings were placed on mounds of clay raised above the level of the water. The framework of a primi- tive loom was found under onme mound, and the number of broken bone needles and bone splinters dis- covered in another mound led the ex- plorers to think that it may have been the sight of an ancient needle factory. COFFEE TO RELIEVE FATIGUE British Army Has Threshed Question Out; Award Palm to Java. The question is sometimes asked: What will relieve fatigue more quick ly than anything else?

New York, Aug. 26.—Sailing ser- enely over New York’s myriad water- craft, its ferryboats and ocean liners, Harry N. Atwood, the Boston aviator, arrived in New York in his aeroplane yesterday, the first man in history to travel as far as from St. Louis to New York by way of Chicago in a heavier than air machine, Atwood’s safe landing on Gover- nor’s Island, after flying from Nyack, N. Y., above the Hudson river through the fog, which made him on- ly dimly visible to the millions of eyes that watched him, was a notable incident in the annals of aeronautics. Flies 1,265 Miles in Same Machine. He not only broke the world’s rec~ ord, covering 1,265 miles in an air line, or perhaps 100 more miles with his detours, but he flew all the way in the same biplane and with no im- portant mishaps. . Atwood’s flight is comparable only to that made by the fast trains, for he covered the distance in the actual time of 28 'hours-and 31 minutes, Atwood’s final Iapin hisTong jour= ney was a glide of 25 miles from Ny- ack, N. Y., where he had stopped over night. He landed dapper and smiling and hatless and hungry in] the arms of a handful of United] States army officers and men, who hailed him as America’s greatest aviator. May Now Quit Game, Atwood said that he may retire permanently from aviation and his projected coast to coast trip may nev- er be made. “It is too risky,” said the aviator. “Man after many flights has made new records in aviation of late only to drop suddenly to death. I have been much more careful than many the clouds too long I will meet my fate in time.” Atwood’s coming was unexpected on Governor’s Island, as it had been heralded that he would land at the Sheepshead Bay race track, where thousands lined the vantage points looking skyward. Atwood expressed | regret at their disappointment. Flies Low Over River. He followed the Hudson at a low altitude the entire distance. At Yon- kers as he leaned forward to wave a silent reply to.the cheers, the wind clipped his cap from his head and wafted it down to the waters. Thou- sands clustered around Grant’s tomb and the viaduct and along the River- side park shore roared their enthu- silasm when Atwood passed. As he approached Recreation pier at Fif= tieth street, where another crowd clusteréd, he turned his machine so that it swept in a complete 'circle from one side of the river to the other and then started down stream once more. ‘An hour after he landed, Atwood was on his way up town. Pick Up Letters For Boston. Packed away in the grip which the aviator carried by aeroplane from St. Louis are a score or more of let-| ters, most of them supposedly of & tender nature, and addressed to young women residing in the neigh- borhood of Boston. “At pretty nearly every place 1 stopped,” Atwood explained, “some fellow asked me to carry a letter to his girl up in Boston. = Of ‘course I/ agreed to do so. I am going to take them all to Bocton with me and mlfl them there.” Real Epochs of Life. Real action is in silent moments.

S. McClene- han. The Daily Dispatch of that city, which is Judge McClenehan’s home town, runs the following: “Not only baseball and iron._dril- ling in this city will contribute to keep Brainerd in the lime light, but there ig also a possibility now of the Dumas case being shifted on a change of venue to Brainerd and if this is done, Judge W. S. McClenehan will try the case.” So far as is known here neither side will ask for a change of venue. Assistant Attorney General Janes, who will remain in Bemidji until Monday night, has repeatedly said that he believes that a fair trial can be held here and that this appears to h' place far the gm— ceedin ~On the other hiand, Judge Marshall A Spooner, chief counsel for the de- fendant, has never sald that he de- Jflh"BB a change of venue, although at times he has indicated that condi- ‘tions might be such that he would do so. He has made no definite as- sertion either one way or the other.

Y., Aug. 26— Speeding eastward behind time, the Lehigh Valley passenger train No. 4. tan into a spread rail on a trestle near here yesterday, and two day coaches from the mid-section of the train plunged downward forty feet, striking the east embankment like a pair of projectiles. In the awful plunge and crash at least 37 persons were killed and more than 50 in- jured. The injuries of several are so serious that it is feared they will die. The wreck was the worst in the history of the Lehigh Valley line in this state and one of the most disas- trous ever recorded on the system. Crowded with passengers, many of whom were war veterans and excur- sionists from the G. A. R. encamp- ment at Rochester, the train made up of fourteen cars and drawn by. two big mogul locomotives, was forty minutes late when it reached Roch- ester Junction, and from there sped eastward to make up the time before reaching Geneva.
