SHIP NAMED CONNELLY

Tribute to Denverite

Word was received in Denver today of the launching this morning in Gloucester, N. J., of the 7,000-ton tank steamship John M. Connelly, named in honor of the memory of John M. Connelly, for years advertising manager of the Denver Gas and Electric Company, one of the ablest newspaper men who ever worked in this city and a man who at the time of his death here in October, 1916, numbered his Denver friends in the thousands. The Connelly is the first vessel of her type designed for foreign service, and, as a further tribute to the memory of a loyal American, Henry L. Doherty & Co. have turned over the new steamship to the United States government.

John M. Connelly, is honor of whose memory the big foreign service steamship was named, came to Denver nineteen years ago, three months before his scheduled date of graduation from Dartmouth college. Illness sent him to the West, but he continued his studies here, took his examinations and received his college degree from the New Hampshire institution.

His college record as an athlete, as well as a student, won for him the position of sporting editor of The Rocky Mountain News, and in that position he became widely known in the newspaper field. Later he became advertising manager of the Denver Gas and Electric Light Company. He died in Denver on October 31, 1916.

Secretary, Herbert W. Blake, Gardner, Mass.
