Qulncy, Mass., Mar !. -Ths scout erulser Birmingham tbe first vessel of Its type being built for the United tuUi navy was successfully Munched at' tha yards of ths For River, Ship .building company today. A lares party of guests from Birmingham, Alabama, wars present, headed by Mayor George B. Ward and Senator-elect Joseph , F, Johnston. The cruiser was named by Miss Mary Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Campbell of Btnnlng- m. The sponsor waa attended by eight oung ladles .of her home city. They were Mlaaes Orace Hardle, Marjorle Weatherly, Ellen Linn Molton, Mary George Crulkahank, Martha Dabney, Nathleen Nixon, Mary Klrkpatrlck and Mary Cameron. The Invited gueats came from Bos ton by special train during the morn ing. Besides the Alabama party, a num ber of officers from the Charlestown 1 navy yard were on the train. - Ths launching took place as soon after the noon hour as the condition of the tide warranted. As the cruiser slid down the ways, Mlse Campbell - broke a bottle of champagne against the bow, and said: "I chrlaten thee Bir mingham." The . river about the ship building plant was filled with boats, and as the new ahlp took the water a great salute was given her by all the craft and by the whlstlea of nearby manufacturing plants. The cruiser floated majestically out upon the boeom of the river, where she soon was captured by a tug and towed to one of the ship yard piers, where she will be completed. She ' now Is just a little more than half done. Claims Sp ecial latere st. The Birmingham and her sister ships, ths Salem and the Cheater, have claim to special Interest by reason of being entirely a new type of ship in the American navy. They are built primarily for speed, and have much the appear ance of a torpedo boat-deatroyer on a mammoth scale. England has a few ex amples of thla type, but they are not so speedy as the Birmingnam ana tney cannot carry nearly as much coal, and In that respect must be less effec tive. The Birmingham Is of ths following dimensions: Length between perpendic ulars, 420 feet; breadth, feet 8 Inch es; displacement on speed trial, not more than 8,700 tons; mean draft to bottom of keel at trial displacement, II feet tft Inches; total bunker .capacity, J.200. tons, ,- . -,-.. v-;7 The battery-will be a light one, com- prising two submerged torpedo tubes and 12 threeHnch rapid-fire guns. The ship will carry two searchlights and a wireless telegraph outfit, as well as an up-to-date electrical equipment In every way. There win oe considerable nickel-steel protection. Her contract re quires that she shall make at least 24 knots per hour on her lour nours' speed trial. She will be manned approximate ly by II officers and III men.
