DREADNOUGHT ARIZONA
GLIDES DOWN WAYS
INTO THE EAST RIVER
World's Greatest Sea
Fighter Successfully
Launched at Brooklyn
Navy Yard Before Vast
Crowd of Onlookers.
NUW YOttK, June U.-The superrlread
nought Arizona, the most powerful bat
tlfshlp In the world, wai successfully
launched thla afternoon at the Brooklyn
Nfivy Yard. She took the water at 1:10
o'clock.
The launching and christening of the
Arizona passed off without Incident
Ayhlle 15,000 persons In and around the
navy yard and thousands upon tho Brook
lyn and Manhattan bridges and other
poinlo of vatitngo cheered, and the Brook
lyn Navy Yard marine band crashed out
nmHlnl music, the slant man-of-war slid
down the ways and plunged Into the
waters of East Illver.
Atthouch Governor Hunt, of Arizona,
had brought a Jug of tho first water that
rippled over Koosevelt dam for the christ
ening, it was not used. Miss Esther Itoss,
of I'rescott, called "the prettiest girl In
Arizona," smashed a bottle of champagnd
against the hull as she exclaimed:
"1 christen thee Arizona."
A prayer was delivered by Bishop At
wood, of the Episcopal Diocese of Art
ton a.
Among those on the stand were Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, Hear Admiral
Usher, commandant of tho Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and Mayor Mltctiel.
Secretary Daniels In an address preceding-
the launching asserted that the Ari
zona was the fourth ship to be con
structed at the Brooklyn yard and de
clared every navy yard should be able
to build the country's naval craft. Ho
added:
"The backbone of the navy still la the'
powerful dreadnought Mint can keep tho
seas In any weather and which, with Its
great armament of powerful guns and
seoondary batteries, and with protection
against submarine torpedo, can concen
trate Its power.
"Wo will, If we are wise, make every
navy yard capable of constructing our
naval craft. Two years ago we could
build only In one yard on the Atlantic
And one yard on the Pacific coast. In
a. time of national crisis this capacity
of all our navy yards to do actual con
struction as well as repair work would
bo of Inestimable value." Tho Secretary
declared that while dreadnoughts are to
be constructed at tho Brooklyn yard, n
destroyer and colliers are being built at
the Mare Island yard, and tho largest
transport ever authorized by Congress Is
nDout 10 do constructed nt League Island,
Philadelphia, Its keel being laid today.
At 'the Boston yard, ho said, a supply
hjp Is under construction, and sub
marines are to be built at Portsmouth,
N. H. He added that the 11 battleships
now under construction or Just completed
make "a very crcdiblo showing" for tho
American navy for one year.
After the launching Secretary Daniels
and other notables were guests at a
luncheon at tho navy yard.
ARIZONA SPEEDILY BUILT.
The Arizona Is a great triumph for Bear
Admiral Nathaniel n. Usher, head of tho
Brooklyn navy yard, and hla subordinate
directors. She was built In 16 months,
or three months less time than tho pri
vately built Pennsylvania. On the way
on which tho Arizona was constructed tho
California will be begun at once. Tho
California will be the first electrlcallv
driven battleship In the world, which will
be a thousand tons larger than the craft
launched today.
The Arizona, In tho opinion of Secre
tary Daniels, could meet and vanquish
the Queen Elizabeth, the best ship In tho
xjriusn navy.
She will be able to throw from her 12
H-lnch rifles a broadsides of 16,800 pounds
a. distance of 20 miles, and engage In ef
fective target practice at 13 miles.
She will dlsplaco 31.400 tons light nnd
more than 32,000 tons when fully equipped
and manned. The nearest approach to
such a tonnage Is made by the four new
dreadnoughts being turned out for Ger
many and the four under construction for
Japan. These ships displace about 30,000
tons.
On the water line she will monmir finn
feet and wilt have an over-all length n;
W8 feet. Her beam Is 97H feet and her
mean draft almost 23 feet. She will have
five decks, with a bridge and two plat
forms. There are 21 main traverse water
tight compartments and about 400 com
partments In all. She will develop about
33,000 horsepower and make almost 23
knots.

BREAKING IT GENTLY
m
STRUGGLE FOR LIVES
STARTED BY "JITNEYS"
City Flooded With Protests
Against Proposed Unfair
Legislation by Councils.
Thousands of handbills and hundreds of
petitions are to bo circulated in defense
of the "Jitneys" against proposed legis
lation In Councils that would drive them
from the streets.
Tho Law Committee of Councils In
secret session applied amendments to tho
pending "Jitney" ordlnanco that would
prohibit tho "Jitneys" from charging
mora than 5 cents for a slx-mtlo ride. A
parallel taxlcab-regulatlng ordlnanco al
lows the "taxis" to charge $2.50 for a slx
mllo rldo on a haBls of rates of CO cents
for the first mile or fraction thereof and
10 cents for each additional quarter mile.
"Jitneys" nnd taxlcabs must each pav
a $50 license fee and furnish a liability
bond of $2500.
A meeting to organize tho "Jitney"
drivers of the city was held last night
In the Parkway building and In a Btorm
of denunciation of Councils a plan was
formulated to distribute 10,000 handbills
and circulate GOO petitions against Coun
cils' contemplated action. Tho handbill
will set forth:
"Tho JUney Is tho carriage of the man
or woman who cannot afford to own nn
automobile. That Is tho reason why those
In power are giving the corporations
power to drive tho Jitneys off tho streets.
Aro you going to submit to this tyranny?
Haven't you ns much right to rldo In
an automobile as your rich neighbor?
Let us show those who are trying to pull
oft this deal that the people will not stand
for It. Sign a petition to Councils and
see your Councilman and tell him you
wm not stanu for such a rotten deal.
Ho needs your voto at the next election
and ,mako It plain that he will not get
It If he does not get on the Job and stop
this attempt against the right of tho peo
ple to enjoy the samo privilege as tho
rich."
About 100 "Jitney" owners attended the
meeting of tho now organization of "Jit
ney" men last night. It Is tho third or
ganization of its kind to spring up since
the "Jitneys" came Into popularity. Tho
men arranging for the meeting were Sam
uel S. K Helss, of 6901 North Broad
street; J. D. Bcauchmaln. 2125 Oxford
street; Charles Hellcg. 2022 North 13th
street, and Harry Pollock, 1810 South
9th street.
Opposed to tho general tone of protest
and denunciation that predominated at
the Parkway meeting was the statement
made by John H. Fow. attorney for the
"Jitney Bus Association," the body of
which Richard Costello Is president. '
Fow said that the amended ordinance
with its $50 license feo nnd slx-mlle rides
tor a nickel Is not only satisfactory to
the "Jitney Bus Association." but that

Police Court Chronicles
A flve-mUe drunk, with nn endless

1 POLICEMAN KILLED BY AUTO
WeekesBcr Not a Suicide, Coroner's
Jury finds.
Washington George Weckesser, tho
special policeman whd was found dead

slaughter has been sworn out by Detec
tive William J. Callahan.
When Weckesser's body was found on
May 80, It was apparent that he had been
knocked down and left for dead by a
passing automoblllst; but a small acalp
wound and marks thought to bo powder
marks, together with the fact that on
enipty shell was round in nis revolver,
led many to believe that ho had shot
himself when ne knew he would tile ami
tho pains front his wounds became Un
bearable. All thoughts of suicide, were eliminated
by Dr. William Wadsworth, coroner'iJ
physician, who testified at the Inquest
today. Tho so-called powder marks were
mere grease spots, he said, and Weckos
scr was killed when his head was crushed
by the automobllo.
Both, whom the Coroner's Jury held re
sponsible for Weekessefs death, was
Identified as tho driver, the police say,
by a broken lamp on an automobllo In
the garage where ho was employed at
6510 Chestnut street.
