PORT NEWS, Va., February 1. —Another greyhound of the sea, the light cruiser Augusta, joined the United States Navy today. The vessel, named for Augusta, Ga., was. christened by Miss Evelyn; Mc- Daniel. oficial sponsor of the JNavy and resident of the Georgia city, and glided into the waters of Hampton ads amid a chorus of whistles and cheers. A bottle of Savannah River water, brought from Georgia, was dashed against the vessel's prow in lieu of the time-honored champagne. A distinguiched assembly stood upon the platform to witness the launching of the new cruiser, sixth of the vessels constructed under the 1924 naval build- ing program. Augusta was represented by a delegation of 30 or more citizens, Who mingled on the platform with hundreds of Virginians and visitors from other States. As the youthful sponsor swung the bottle against the steel prow and the veseel slid gracefully down the ways | harbor eraft sounded sirens, whistles screamed and airplanes roared low overhead. Ernest Lee Jahncke, Assistant Sec- Tetary of the Navy, represented his chief at the launching. He was ac- companied by Admiral Guy H. Bur- rage, commandant of the fifth naval district, and Admiral W. T. Cluverius, commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard, as well as by other high ranking naval officials. Col. George A. Nugent, com- manding officer of’Fort Monroe, repre- sented the Army. The new vessel is a sister ship to the Houston, launched here several months ago. She has a guaranteed speed of 321: knots, and will develop 107,000 shaft horsepower for this speed. She has an_overall length of 600 feet and a maximum width of 66 feet, being of standard 10,000 tons displacement. She will mount nine 8-inch guns in three turrets, two forward and one aft. In addition she will have four 5-inch anti-aircraft guns, two 21-inch torpedo tubes and an airplane catapult. | She_will be manned by a complement of 50 officers and 625 men, the per- sonnel yet to be desfgnated. .

FEBRUARY 2 1930—PART OXNE |FEWER CORSETS, LONG SKIRTS AND TROUSERS, STYLE EDICT METHODS OUTLINED AT MOSES DINNER International Shoppers, Charged With ChOOSing Summer | Founders' Week Event of Store Duds for Mrs. America, Complete Task. By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 1.—With the edicts of trousered lounging suits, long skirts, backless evening gowns and few, if any, corsets, the international style shoppers, charged with the difficult task of choosing Summer duds for Mrs. America and her daughter, sail on the | return trip to New York Pebruary 5. Disagreement over corsets and skirt | lengths was straightened out with com- promise on the part of both the Ameri- cans and the French. American buy- ers, heeding the protest of club women in the United States against whale- bones and extremely long skirts for every woman and every figure, reflected their countrywomen’s opinion. The Rue de La Paix apparently heard, for many mollels were displayed which hdo not require corsets to set them off to advantage. However, French style makers stand | t on long skirts for evening and lengthened ones for daytime wear, Con- servative Summer street clothes will touch the calf of the leg at its maxi- mum curve, although Paris authorizes from 2 to 4 inches more for wom- en who want them longer. For sports | wear there is a wide choice of dresses 4 to 12 inches below the knee. Trousers are seen in many varieties. They range from the wide pantelettes used for beach wear and indoor loung- ing pajamas to the suzanettes, a_com- bination of Boy Scout shorts and sleeve- less blouse, which Suzanne Lenglen in- troduced for tennis togs. Many evening gowns will be as guilt- less of backs as the modern bathing suit, the decollete 8 to 12 inches wide as low as the wastline. For those who object to the low backline, tiny capes, slit through the center and called “beetle backs,” have been added to the frocks. COLORADO PRISON BLAZEMYSTERY Man Who Testified in Recent | Mutiny Stabbed, But Cause Not Learned. By the Associated Press. CANON CITY, Colo., February 1.— Fire which swept the tailor shop at the Colorado State Penitentiary here today was brought under control two hours after it was discovered, and official re- ports said that the institution was orderly, despite first reports that an attempt at escape had been made by several prisoners. One prisoner, Danny Reardon, who testified at length before Gov. W. H. Adams’ special commission which in- vestigated the prison mutiny of last October, in. which 13 were killed, was stabbed by another prisoner during an altercation. Warden Crawford said the identity of the man who stabbed Rea: don had not been determined. Rear- don was known to have the enmity of many convicts because of the informa- tion he gave the Governor's commission. One other convict, a man named Taylor, was hurt when he fell from a ladder during the fire. He was aiding firemen. D Warden Crawford made no estimate of the damage done by the fire, which was still being fought at 1 o'clock this afternoon by fire departments from Canon City and Florence, but it was belleved the loss would be considerable in view of the fact that the tailor shop is directly over the prison supply room. Reports that the fire had been set by prisoners had not been confirmed, but some credence was placed in them be- cause on at least three previous occa- sioins since the October muitny prison- ers have set fire to the tailor shop. The AR “prison grapevine” had carried to War- den Crawford repeated threats that the institution would be ‘“burned to the ground unless Crawford discharges | William Green,” deputy warden, for | whom the prisoners hold a bitter ani- mosity. |ALDERMEN ARE GUARDED.
