He at once filed a motion for a new trial. Bartholomew was arrested on charges preferred by the American Bankers' Money Order association. The association alleges a it. under the impression a Bartholomew- owned bank at Gallon, Ohio, sent two blank money order books to him.

Compar.i lively little of the appropriation be used in the construction of small er craft. is likely that, outside the battleships, the additions to th navy will consist of either live toi pedo-boat destroyers or one model i icpair ship for the fleet. We uu gratified to a that the dccieai) in the 1911 naval estimates ot $111, 000,000 is to be accomplished with out making any reduction in th number of battleships which con gress lecently decided should be add ed annually to our navy to i i i it at its proper standard of strength lu view of tiie large preponderant of battleships over vessels of othe classes in our navy, and the iact tha these ships are armed with tin heaviest guns, congress Is probahlj right in its conviction that the an" a addition of two battleships such great size and power as our now 2C.OOO ton ships will be sufficient t'o, our needs, at least for the present Should the international situation at any time warrant a laiger annual Increase, our leading yards have shown that they are well able to meet the demand. The two battleships planned foi 1911 will be similar to the "Arkansas" and "Wyoming" On a dis- lacemcnt of 2C.OOO tons they will arry twelve twelve-nch guns in ix turrets placed on the center line if the ship. They i be driven by urbine engines at a speed of 20 Vi knots, and their bunkers will have a capacity of 3,000 Ions of coal.

The side armor extending fiom six feet below the waterline to the upper deck, will taper gradually from eleven inches In thickness at the water to six and a a inches; at tho level of the a i deck. The defense against torpedo attack will be particularly powerful, consisting of no less than twenty-two five-inch rapid fire guns fifty calibers in length. In point of size, coal endurance, and power of attack and defense, these are the most powerful designs that a ie- ceived official sanction in any navy With the completion of tho- two ships, the a i have a squadron of eight battleships of the same general type, possessing the same tac- ticial qualities, and a i a suited for joint American.
