MEADE ON DUTY.
The Admirnis Leave Of Absence Revoked
by Secretary Herbert.

The Admirhis Leave Of Absence Revoked
by Secretary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, May l6-The secretary ~
the navy has issued an order revoking the
leave Of absence granted to Rear A'mirnl
Meade several days ago When al
Meade became dissatisfied with his com
mand and asked 10 be detached from the
command Of tho North Atlantic squadron,
no also asked for leave OF absence Of
year, with the permission to 60 abroad,
saying at the same time that he would also
IN a day or two ask to be retired.
Tho request to be detached was imme-
diately granted, as was the request for the
years loave Of absence. Then came the
request 20 be retired but before any action
could DO taken tho interview was published
which has caused SO much difficulty. No
action has been taken upon the request
for retirement, but the action revoking the
leave of absence indicates that the request
for retirement will not DO complied with.
The effect will be to place Admiral
Meade on waiting orders, subject to any
duty 40 any time to which the department
may desire TO assign him. IL was under
stood that the leave Of absence granted to
Admiral Meade contained permission to
60 abroad and no intended to spend the
summon in Europe He could not GO
abroad while on waiting orders without
violating the naval regulations. II he were
not ready to respond to any order Of the

THE HYAMS TRIAL.
The Defense Has Important Evidence Ruled
Out by the Court.


Out by the Court.
TORONTO. May l6-The defense in the
Hyams murder trial scored a considerable
victory for their clients when they sue
ceeded in having ruled out by the court
all the evidence which, it was intended by
the prosecution, should show that Harry
Hyams had attempted to get $780, 600 in
surance placed on the life of his wife long
after the death of Willie Wells. 1t was this
alleged attempt that had aroused suspicion
and caused the arrest of the prisoners on
the charge of the murder of Wells. When,
after a long wrangle, the judge finally
ruled this class Of evidence out the pris-
oners were yisibly relieved and frightened
up considerably. The crown had II wit
nesses ready to testify, who were told to GO
home after this ruling.
Mrs. Harry Hyams was on the stand
again, but after answering few questions
relating to her courtship and marriage she
became very i'll and had to be taken home.
The most important evidence OF the crown
was given by Plumber Wright, who proved
by actual experiment in court that the
elevator weight could not have come loose
from the hook accidentally, 1t is probable
that that theory will therefore be aban
doned by the defense
