p S * i ? . _ ? PRESIDENT RENEWS BIG I FLEET HI OMR BJf Nation's Chief inspects Prids of Navy From Ma^lcwer's Deck. g GREATEST OF MARINE PAGEANTS I- ' |> Most Imposing Spectacle the Western Hemisphere Ever Witnessed? Sixty-one Vessels of All Types in Line-Up. Oyster Bay, L. I.?With twice a fe'V* hundred guns booming: out a salute to the Nation's Chief. President Roosevelt reviewed the Atlantic Fleet of these United States in Long Island Sound, near his home. It was a picturesque and an imu pressive spectacle. Twelve great battleships. eight powerful cruisers, four monitors, twelve destroyers and tor! pedo boats, five auxiliary cruisers, three submarines, and a troopship? forty-five craft in all, a ship of war for every State in the Union?lay in 1 ' three long columus within sight of ? the Sound's green shore, while the President's yacht. Mayflower, with [>''< Mr. Roosevelt aboard, steamed between them. Never had so formidaf 1 ble' a fleet been assembled in triese waters. Rarely has a more powerful f naval aggregation been gathered anvwhere in the world in time of peace. As the Mayflower dropped her anchor at the head of the fleet at the end of the review, the President descended from the bridge, his face j*.; , wreathed in smiles, and eiithusiasti' " cally throwing his arms around the shoulders of several in a group of , Senators and Representatives, ex; claimed: "Any man who fails to be patriotically inspired by such a sight1 as this is a mighty poor American, and every American who has seen it ought to be a better American for it." The sentiment was echoed enthusiastically by the group around the President. It was a stately but simple show. Its dominant note was of great dignity. It was the most imposing pageant the Western Hemisphere had ever witnessed. It marked the ad> vent of the United States into third rank among the nations of the world as a fighting but peace loving Power. A combined lleet of sixty-one nr.val* vessels, representing every type of ship in use in the navy except a hospital ship and a machine ship, greeted the President and a vast throng of sightseers on hundreds of yachts, ex' curison boats, launches and rowboats in"as dramatic a stage setting as old Neptune ever arranged. When'the I President reached his yacht, the Mayflower, in an open launch, a drenching rain was falling upon him. The band had not finished playing "The Star Spangled Banner" after he had stepped upon the deck ^nd the Presidential salute had scarcely begun when the weather god became a v- wizard and tore aside tne c!ouds in an instant, flooding the ships with glorious sunlight. Up to that time the assembled fleet in the darkened mist and rain resembled in the distance the appearance-of. factories painted white, with big yellow smoke pipes, and decor~A * "* V-U T~> 11 f V?

Then was fully disclosed battleships, armored -cruisers, protected cruisers, monitors, gunboats, torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo boats, submarines, despatch boats and the President's yacht, besides auxiliary vessels that included colliers, a provision ship, a water ship and a cruiser laden with marines. There was nut nttie lire to De seen on board the great fleet of battleships. but around them a host of small naval launches were scurrying hither and thither in the work of getting the picket lines established. This work was given over to the junior lieutenants and ensigns, and they performed their part perfectly throughout the day. At 10 o'clock the sea line to the westward became blurred with the oncoming host from the city. Huge excursion vessels staggered along, black with humanity, and heeling dangerously as their passengers swarmed to the side where the battleships lay. Palatial steam yachts, tugs, schooners, sloops, catboats, dories, yawls, in fact everything that could carry sail or turn a screw, seemed to be doming up.from the west to view the pageant. It is variously estimated that from 25,000 to 40,000 persons witnessed the review from the excursion boats and yachts. The President returned to the Mayflower after making the official calls and remained on board the yacht until late in the evening to witness ? Cue lliuuuuanuu vi <-uv^ w...A? The most brilliant feature of the naval review was the illumination of the fleet in the evening. At a signal from the flagship Maine, made at eight bells, every battleship, cruiser, and monitor flashed forth in a glow of light. The outlines of the hulls, the masts, the stacks, fighting tops, and conning towers silhouetted themselves-in fire on the black horizon. Peace For Central America. The Costa Rica Government has received invitations from the Governments of Honduras. Guatemala and ... ,r ^Salvador to take part in the peace conference at San Jose, Costa Rica. All the Governments support the idea of the celebration of the treaty of peace by a union of the five Central American reDublics. j . Strike Spreading in Spain. The strike in Spain is spreading ! and troops have been sent from several cities to Santander and Bilbao. The National Game. There are more Cleveland admirers in Boston than in any other city, barring Cleveland. In fifty-three games Turner, of the Cleveland team, failed in but three games to hit safely. "Jigs" Donohue is now considered . one of the least consistent hitters ia the American League. The aga of heraldry is not dead yet. The Athletics have a Knight and a Lord and a Cross. Tim Murnane rises to remark that "Hayden is fast coming into his best iorm and proving a valuable man." The full moon had just come up over Sagamore Hill, the harbor twinkled with the lights of many pleasure craft. aud outside in the Sound I stretched the lin? of beautifully light- i ed ships. At tne President's resi- j (lence on Sagamore Hill burned one i bright light set high up where it could be seen from all directions. , Then the powerful searchlights of the | fleet began to cross one another's j paths and to sweep the surrounding j shore line and hills.

Chicago.?Paul O. Stensland, who is wanted for wrecking the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, had been arrested at Tangier. Morocco, by Assistant State's Attorney Olsen, who had pursued him through England and Spain. Stensland was preparing to flee to Mogador, Morocco, when overtaken. He arrived at Tangier ou the ship 01denberg and was seen to disembark hurriedly. Assistant State Attorney Olson followed him from the boat to the British postoffice. where he heard Stensland order his mail forwarded under the name of Paul Olsen. Stensland turned to go away and the Assistant State's Attorney seized him, telling him he was under arrest. Stensland yielded without a struggle and readily admitted his identity. It is reported that $12,000 of fhe loot from the wrecked bank has been found in a bank at Tangier, and there tied up by the Assistant State's Attorney. CANDY POISONS PRISONER.

Promoter Sega! and Two Officials | Placed Under Heavy Bonds. HIPPLE STAR BANK THIEF j \ Conspiracy, Embezzlement, Forgery and Perjury Among Charges? District Attorney After Directors ?Presbyterians' Loss $109,000. Philadelphia.?On warrants charging conspiracy, embezzlement and perjury, Adolph Segal, the Aiffitrian promoter, who, with the late President Hippie and a coterie of directors, it is charged, wrecked the Real Estate Trust Company; William F. North, treasurer of the company, who, it is alleged, was party to most of Hippie's illegal acts, and William J. Collingwood, assistant treasurer, were placed under arrest by District Attorney Bell. Segal, who has aged five years in two weeks and with all his old jauntiness gone, was held in $25,000 bail. The charges against him are conspiracy and accessory to embezzlement. North and Collingwood were held in $10,900 bail each on charges of conspiracy, embezzlement, perjury, etc.' An angry and muttering crowd of more than a thousand persons mobbed the office of Magistrate Eisenbrown, who issued the warrants upon which Segal, North and Collingwood were arrested. It was composed principally of victims of the frenzied financiering of Hippie and his associates, and members of their families. "Hang them, every one!" screamed oner woman, wno was rea-eyeu irom weeping. "I am a widow and they stole every cent I have in the world!" Scores of women proclaimed themselves in a similar plight. The temper of the crowd was most bitter against Sega!. Horace Hill, the auditor, who is seventy-five years old and broken in health, will not be arrested. Distrifct Attorney Bell says he was merely a figurehead and a tool used by the looters. Evidence of actual partnership between Hippie, Segal and a clique of directors in the wrecked company has been found by the District Attorney. These men sank millions in their wildcat ventures and the great part of the millions, it has been discovered by the District Attorney, went into suburban trolley schemes in which they were interested as promoters or stockholders. As for the speculations of Hippie himself revelations already made indicate that before the investigation of the looted bank is finished he probably will'be written down as the star hank thief nf the centurv. Out of many instances the following are the mo3t sensational: An estate was left by Joseph Detro in which Hippie was named as sole executor without bonds by will dated in 1894., His estate possessed $250,000 in Metropolitan Traction Company stock. Inquiries since Hippie's death resulted in the information that the books showed no stock held either by the Detro estate or Hippie as trustee. # It is feared that this quarter of a rriillion has vanished-as completely as the $7,000,000 of deposits. The theft of $30,000 of the bonds of the trustees of the Presbyterian General Assembly was also fasttened upon Hippie by the examination of their $965,000 of securities by the committee of auditors. This makes approximately $100,000 missing to date from the Presbyterian funds. District Attorney Bell made public a letter left by Hippie, and found on his bureau. It simply said: "Segal got it all. I alone am to blame. Was fooled." . This confession is distinct from that found at the bank. Atlantic City.?One hundred inva: lid women were turned out o? thtf Mtercer Memorial Home, Pacific aveuue and Park place. All the money the home had, some $50,000, was in the Real Estate Trust, wrecked by Hippie's stealings. The people turned out are poor and have no means of support. NO GAMING IN SYDNEY, N. S. W. Drastic Law Passed by Parliament? Publishing of Odds Prohibited. "Sydney, N. S. W.?Parliament has passed a drastic anti-gambling law.

Race meetings in the metropolitan area of Sydney are limited to Wednesdays, Saturdays and public nolidays. The newspapers are prohibited from publishing racing odds. KILLED LOOKING FOR BALL. It Falls in Coal Bin and Match of Searchers Causes Explosion of Gas. Stellarton, N. S.?While four boys were searching for u ball in an unused coal bin here, one of them lighted a match which ignited gas, and all four were instantly killed. Two were sons of Neil Gunn and the others were sons of Joseph Frew and Neil Patterson. Investigating Harvester Trust. Investigations of th* International Harvester Company have been instituted by C. C. Coleman, AttorneyGaneral of Kansas, at Topeka, to determin whether the concern is operating in violation of the State AntiTrust laws. J HnTd Tmnnpte Aided.

White River Junction. Vt.?Complete returns from the Vermont State el:ction show that Fletcher D. Proctor (Rep.) was elected Governor by 15,670 ove.- Tercival W. Clement, Independent and Democrat. The vote: Proctor, 42,150; Clement, 20,474; scattering, 1000. The remainder of the Republican State ticket was successful by pluralities about cqur.i to that received by Proctor.

Foster, ot Burlington (Rep.), was re-elected in the First Congressional District over Edwin D. Clift (Dcm.), and in the Second District Representative Kittredge Haskins (Rep.) defeated John H.

Excessive Irrigation Causes Enormous Loss to Western Farmers. Boise, Idaho.?At the National Irri??aHr>n PrmcrpRs T)r. Elwood Mead, of the Government- Reclamation Service, spoke of "The Evolution of Irrigation Institutions," dealing with the steady development from absolute private ownership of small water rights into a great system of community and Government ownership. Some startling statistics were presented by Professor Samuel Fortier, of the University of California, in an address dealing with the loss of water through waste. He made the assertion that in the Western States $50,000,000 were expended annually in securing and distributing water for irrigation, and that of this water tnus distributed f illy seventy-five per cent, was wasted, causing a net loss to the people of the Western State3 of more thau? $35,000,000. He expressed the opinion, however, that while all c<! this loss could not be stopped, he believed that fully ten per cent, of it could be. PREPARING MEAL, BRIDE DIES.

There was c good deal of what people call pessi mismi in Mr. Hill's speech. The menacing conditions which Mr. Hill pointed out, the countrj was rapidly approaching by roasoi of the strong tendency of populatioi from the farms to the already con gested cities, attracted a great dea of attention from a vast audience His speech, in part, follows: "Notwithstanding the addition o more than 1,000,000 people a yeai from abroad, nearly all of them mer and women who must work for a liv ing, labor outside of the cities was never as scarce or wages as high a: at the present time. Immigratior lingers in the great centres and add: to the difficulties attending employ meat. The farms stretch out theii hands in vain. Railroads in makint exteusions have to get help at th< highest market price, and And a larg? percentage of those whom they em ploy mere hoboes, who desert as soor as they have succeeded in getting transportation from one part of th( country to another. "Farm'ers besiege the employmenl agencies in vain, and offer the lazj tramp a sum for a day's work in the field unheard of in any other countrj in the world. The situation grows more embarrassing yearly. Hours oi labor are being reduced in some oi tno states lor iarm wen aa hands.

"Within twenty years we mu3l house and employ in some fashion 50,000.000 additional population, and by the middle of this century there will be approximately two and a hall times a3 many people in the United States as there are to-day. "Our onp resource, looking at hu manit'y as something more than thf creature of a day, is the productivitj of the soil.

Colorado Girl's Novel Way of Getting Money Through the Mail. A Colorado girl who wanted a cer- * tain school book ordered it from a, Chicago publisher and sent the money; ' for it, baked in a biscuit. The sender explained that she was *. so far from a money-order selling nt onv irirLf? she had no' u/lUCO Ul tkUJ ? jther mode of sending the price than to enclose it as she did. It was ai silver quarter that she sent. We o?ten hear of clouds with silver linings, but here is a chunk of dough' with a silver filling. The Ravenswood woman who tella the story says that this is only one of many inventions of money mailing people. Their resources in contrir- . ing ways to disguise the presence of coin or currency in letters and packages seemingly are unlimited. Chicago's big stores that nandle a heavy, business through the mails are able > ^ to recount some unusual methods. * Some of the women who send to Chi- v cago for various articles are ingenious in this matter.

One queer fact concern- ing the matter is that after a person has taken unheard of pains to hide a remittance he will do up his package so carelessly that it breaks open with the slightest jar or jolt.
