Blr from the -dwks of the big
rraft, the Saratoga will carry a
potential destructive force far
greater than would have been the
power of her jruiis. tine will have
enough explosives In reserve to
re-equip the airships after they
have dropped chances that would
wreck a city. She will carry
machine shops and expert mech
anics by the score to keep her
air brood In fighting trim. She
'Will carry enough gasoline and
oil to keep all the motor cars of
big town in operation for a
week, and she will have every ap
pliance that naval Ingenuity has
yet devised to assist the planes
when they set out on their grim
missions of destruction.
The speed of the ship Is her
greatest asset, She will be able
to slash through any but the
heaviest seas at a rate almost
equivalent to a railroad speed or
40 miles an hour. Given that
speed and the engine power and
fuel capacity to maintain It hour
fter hour, the carrier could
ranee far ahvad of the battle fleet
and then project her air flotilla
another 200 or more miles farther
to strike the first blow at an
approaching enemy. She will be
from seven to ten knots faster
than the fastest battleship, and
only the most modern cruisers or
destroyers could keep pace with
her.
The navy has had no chance
to practice with auy such weapon
ns this. ' The slow, cumbersome
and Improvised second line car
riers so far In service have been
aide barely to furnleh a hint of
what such a ship as the Saratoga
might be expected to accomplish.
Maneuvers in which they func
tioned have been almost entirely
constructive, with most of the air
fleet and carrier elements imag
ined rather than real. Hut dur
ing the 1926-27 drills and war
games, with the Saratoga and her
gigantic sister, the Lexington, in
commission, there will be real
tryouts under war conn"tions, and
It is from these that final Judg
ment will be drawn as to the place
of carriers in future battle form
ations. Craft KvmlKillzc Sen Freedom
Men, Hays Wilbur.
CAM UK N, N. J April 7.
Speaking at the launching of the
aircraft carrier Saratoga here to
day. Secretary Wilbur declared
that the ship 'ts not only concrete
evidence of the effect of the
agreement limiting naval arma
ment, but also evidence of the
fact that at the Washington con
ference the question of aircraft
was under consideration and thut
one of the methods for limiting
the effect of aircraft was by lim
iting ine size anu number or air
craft carriers."
"The Saratoga," 'he added, "Is
aignlficant also because of Its
scientific equipment. The mortal
mind," he declared, "has conceiv
ed nnd put Into execution noth
ing which embodies more of the
accumulation of human knowl
edge than the vemel being launch
ed today."
Speaking of She historical sig
nificance of the event and men
tioning the four ship of that
name which have preceded her in
the American navy, the secretary
mentioned particularly the Sara
toga which participated in the
war of 1812, "which was to de
termine whether or not there
should he free men and free
ships upon the international high
ways" and add'ed:
"Incidentally, It may be noted
thai our participation in the
world war also was the result of
a firm conviction on our part.
that this nation had a right to
the free and unrestricted u.e of
the hfjfb, seas for transportation
of commerce, except as that right
was limited by International law."
Ijurgcewt mimI l-aMent of Kind1.
The Saratoga, which was launch
ed today, with Mrs. Curtis U. Wil
bur, wife of the secretary of the
navy, acting as a sponsor at the
christening ceremonies. Is a sister
ship of the I'. S. H. Lexington,
to be launched this fall at (.uin-
cy, Mass.
Originally these two vessels
were to have been battle cruisers,
but under the arms limitation
treaty, they were converted Into
airplane carriers before their con
struction was far advanced.
When completed and commis
sioned late in 1U26 the Saratoga
will be the largest and fattiest
craft or Us kind in the world. It
will he the longest naval vessel of
any design in the world.
The Saratoga Is 874 feet long
with a beam of 105 feel, her
electric power plant Is designed
to develop ISO. 000 horsepower,
greater than the combined rated
output of six electric driven capt
tatl ships now In commission, the
New Mexico, California, Tennes
see, Maryland, Colorado and West
Virginia. She will have a s:. d
of 33 knots per hour and a fly
ing dvck reaching from Btem to
stern.
EFFORT TO BAIL

CHICAGO, April 7. William
Scott Stewart, counsel for Wil
liam I). Shephfrd, announced to
day he was expressing to Spring
field to the supreme court of Il
linois a netition for a writ of
I habeas corpus (or Shepherd. The
latter is In jail awaiting arraign
ment, set for April , on a charge
of murder of William McCliutock.
"As soon as an investigation
was started by certain powerful
interests,' said Stewart in his
brief in support of the petition,
"dissatisfied with the distribu
tion of the large t McCllntock
estate and said Investigation was
called to the attention through
the press, of certain worthless
scrouudrels, who the "evidence
shows, were conducting a fake
school and diploma mill and the
activities included the blackmail
ing of citizens, there was some
talk among these people concern
ing the possibility of claiming the
existence of a letter to the school
written by William D. Shepherd,
inquiring about a bacteriology
course. "

STREET PAVING
PROJECT GIVEN
CONSIDERATION
(Continued from page 1.)
Mayor Houck has possibly found a
solution, may result in still more
paving. For years the residents of
Parrot t street have been trying to
get their street paved. lletween
Parrot t street and the track there
is short street, Howen street which
runs at an angle Intersecting Par
rot t street causing a triangle. This
triangle creates such a great Inter
section that the cost of paving
would be prohibitive, while the
small lots In the narrow end of the
triangular section would not be
worth the cost.
Mayor Houck has proposed that
one block of Howen street be aban
doned, and that half the street be
given to the proiierty fronting on
Parrott street and the other half to
the railroad company. This would
give an opportunity for paving
Parrott street without a are-at cost
and would make the property abut
ting the street of sufficient value
to be worth the expense. The Ways
and Me ns committee has this mat
ter under Investigation.
