The launching was en- tirely succeseful and no hitch marred the proceedings. The only reason the vessel was launched ahead of time was ! that by a slight miscalculation the poppet (a wooden brace) at the bow wae raising the vessel too high, and in the opinion of experts it was better that the supports be knocked away without | delay. Fully 50,000 people viewed the cere- | monies and saw the big vessel slip into the water. She created but a very small wave as she took her maiden plunge and floated out gently and gracefully. | Naval men who viewed the launching stated that it was the most successful | they ever saw. | The Nebraska weighs more than any vessel ever before launched for the| United States navy. Immediately after the launching the big Alaska liners| that hovered about her, with decks| black with excursionists, looked dimin- | utive beside her. Miss Mary Main Mickey, the daugh- | ter of Governor Mickey of Nebraska,| christened the vessel. | The battleship Nebraska's contract | price is $3733,600; length, 441 feet 3 {inches; beam, 76 feet 21% {inches; | draught, 23 feet 9 inches: displacement, ; 15,000 tons: weight at launching, 14,500,- | | 000 pounds; speed, 19 knots, indicated | horsepower, 19,000; engines, two four-: cylinder triple expansion; boilers, 12 | tubular.

PRESIDENT ATTENDS Body Then Taken by Special | Train to Milwaukee, Where | the Burial Will Take Place | WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Although an official funeral, the services in St.| John's Church to-day over the body of the late Henry C. Payne, Postmaster General, were marked by impressive simplicity. Official Washington filled | the nave of the church and brilliant as were the uniforms of the representa- tives of the army, navy and marine corps, the solemnity of the scene was only enhanced by the sharp contrast of color with the deep mourning of the family and personal friends of the dead Cabinet officer. With Mrs. Payne sat President and Mrs. Roosevelt, both in deep mourn- ing. The entire right side of the church was occupied by the officials of the Postoffice Department, headed by Robert J. Wynne, the acting Post- master General. The diplomatic corps, the chiefs of the bureaus of the Navy Department, the commandant of the marine corps, members of the Supreme Court, Senators and Congressmen and other officials filled the remaining space, The funeral party was met at the door by the Rev. Roland Cottonfaith, rector of St. John's, and his assistants. The procession formed at the tran- seript door, the rector leading the way and reading from the burial service of the Episcopal church. The casket was borne to the chancel by eight uniform- ed postal carriers. After them walked the pallbearers—Secretary Hay, Secre- tary Hitchcock and Secretary Wilson, the only members of the Cabinet who were able to reach Washington for the funeral. Mrs. Payne entered the church sup- ported by Charles S. Jones and his sister, Miss Louise Jones, the nephew and niece of Mrs. Payne, and followed by a few personal friends. The service was read by Rev. Mr. Smith and his assistant, Rev. Mr. Dun- lap, the only alteration in the regular order of service being the offering of a special prayer for Mrs. Payne. The hymns sung during the service were “lead, Kindly Light,” and “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” For the reces- sional, the vested choir sang “Hark, Hark, My Soul.” The selections were made by Mrs. Payne and are her fa- vorite hymns. The chancel was fragrant with flow- ers sent by friends from all over the country. The only flowers on the cas- ket were those of Mrs. Payne, a large sheaf of Faster lilies, a wreath of white reses and carnations from the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and a cluster of violets, gardenias and palms, | the offerings of Miss Jones. ! The members of the diplomatic corps, out of respect for the dead Cabinet of- | ficer, were dressed in black. The special train carrying the body and the funeral party to Milwaukee left the Pennsylvania station this aft- ernoon. Secretary of Agriculture Wil- son is the only Cabinet officer who went with the train, but the plans contemplate that Secretaries Shaw and join the funeral party later.

While stationed at Fort Lawton the lieutenant was a frequent visitor at Seattle. During a round of gayety he created a sensation in a theater.
