Washington. Sept 24.-The part
played by the battleship Texas In the
naval battle on Santiago, July 3,
1S9S. in which the Spanish fleet. under
Admiral Ceryera, was sunk, was the
basis Of the greater part of yesterdays
proceedings in the Schley naval court
OF inquiry. OF the four witnesses ex-
amined during the day three had been
officers on board the Texas during the
battle, and two of them were new
witnesses. There were Commander
George C. Heilner. who was navigator
on the Texas. and Commander Alex
ander Il. Bates. who was the chief en-
sineer on that batileship. Commander
Harber. executive officer and the chief
surviving officer Of the ship since the
death of Captain Philip, WAS recalled.
The fourth witness WAS Commander
Scaton Schroeder. executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
Of the island of Guam.
The testimoney several times during
the day was somewhat exciting, as
i, was especially so when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He said
that when the Brooklyn made its loop
at the beginning of the battle it passed
dSTbsS tIle DOW ut u
not to exceed 100 to $50 yards, and
that. Mt the command of Captain Phil
ip, the Texas had been brought to Il
dead stop.
Engineer Bates testified that the star
oard engines had been stopped. and
said he thought this also had hap
I,ened to the port engines. Command
or Heilner expressed the opinion that
three miles had been lost by this man
euvcr and the fact that part o; the ma
chincry was dcranged. He said he
considered that the Texas was in
greater danger when the Brooklyn
crossed her bow that at any other
time during the bHttlc.
On cross-eXamination Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part in
the preparation of the official Navy
Department chart showing the
positions at different times of
the ships which participated in
the battle. He said that accord
ing to this chart the two ships

Africa by celebrating the expiration of
the period in which Lord Kitchener
proclaimed they must surrender by

The situation is singularly like the
opening Of the war two years ago. the

of similar ambuscade eighteen
months back. Acton Homes. where

BEGINNING CZOL LGOSZ TRIAL
BEFORE JUSTICE WHITE

Buffalo, n. V. Sept. 24-Leon F.
Czolgosz was placed on trial yester-
day morning charged with the murder
of President Mckinley. He entered n
plea of guilty" which was subse-
guently changed to mot guilty" by d.
rcction of the court.
All the events of the day Indicated
that the trial will be short. Court con-
vened at 10 O'clock and within two
hours eight jurors had been secured.
Technicalities We're not raised by the
examining counsel, but 1t was signifi-
cant that every man who said he had
formed an opinion on the case was ex-
cused by the district attorney. Those
who acknowledged that they had
formed an opinion or stated that they
were prejudiced. but admitted that
their opinion could be changed by evil
dence. We're accepted by each side.
Justice Truman c. White. one of the
Oldest and most experienced of the Su-
preme Court judges, was on the bench.
Immediately after the opening Of the
court and after the prisoner had plead
ed, Justice Loran l.. Lewis, senior
counsel for the defendant. announced
that together with his colleagues, for

in behalf OF the prisoner.

no record Of the signal to reverse the
engineA Commander Schroeder testi-
fed concerning the coal supply OF the
Massachusetts. which he said would
have been sufficient for a blockade Of
from sixteen 10 twenty days.
The day closed with another animat-
ed controversy between counsel as to
the policy of bringing Admiral Samp-
sons name inIo the trial
Mr.. Raymer, counsel for Admiral
Schfey, said:
I'VE do not propose to bring the
name OF Admiral Sampson into this
controversy any more than 1t fs possi-
BILE to do 10. We are not here now for
the purpose of condemning the fact.
II II proves to he n fact, Of the New
York, leaving on the morning Of the
battle; We are not here to crticise the
blockade thai Admiral Sampson had
at Santiago, but are here to establish
this. or Under the specifications of
your precept memorandum, to find
out whether the blockade at Santiago
was q Close or adequate blockade.
Now, IL We can prove that It was, 30
far as distances were concerned, the
same blockade that the commander in
chief maintained there. then we can
justify the course of Admirnl Schley
who was ommander-in-chief before
Samps0f's arrival.
There Ia one other point. md this is
all done for the purpose of really not
delaying but properly getting at the
matter. We propose TO prove that on
the LIST day of June the Colon was in
precisely the same position inside Of
the harbor that she was OH the 31st
day of May, when Admiral Schley
made the Reconnaissance with the Mas
sachusetts and the New Orleans.
Now. we propose to show that
when Admiral Sampson came up with
the ships his ships saw the Colon In
the same position and instead of at
tacking 1t steamed by and permitted
her to go further inside the harbor.
Now, would moi we be justified IN not
engaging In battle with the Colon and
the shore batteries at Santiago II Ad-
miral Sampson took the same course?'

PLOT TO MURDER PRESIDENT
MATCHED MANY MONTHS AGO

Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. 22.-Investign-
tions made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling possibili-
ty that plot to assassinate PRESIDENT
Mckinley was laid year or more
ago, before he was elected for his sec
ond term, and that 1t may have been
laid in Oregon township, where the
CzOlgosz family lived. A remittance
made to the assassin by his brother,
Waldeck Czolgosz, about month ago,
led to the investigation that may have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police
have been strong in their belief that
there was a plot. One of the strong
elements in their belief has been the
fact that the handkerchief Ivy which
the assassin concealed the hand in
which he held his weapon, was wom-
ans handkerchief. What rs more i'm
portant is that the handkerchief was
bound about the hand in way that
he, 1t Is said, would not have been
able to tie 1t himself.
The fact that CZolgosz had money
impelled the detective to try to learn
whence got 1t. Yesterday his brother
Waldeck confessed to having sent it
to Leon under the name of Frank Sny-
der, at West Seneca. New York.
Detective Schmunk yesterday ascer-
tafned from neighboring farmers that
the Czolgosz boys, Leonard and Wal
deck, have been readers Of Socialist
papers for several years. John ID.

The money value Of title in other
than matrimonial market is illustrat-
ed by the policy of an old established
manufacturing business in New York
"ity which sells its products all over
Europe. The present manager like his
father. is very democratic. but for
business reasons he continues the pol
ICY established by his father. No
agents are employed abroad except
men with titles. This is easily ar
ranged in Germany and France and
Russia, but It sometimes causes in
convenience in England. A titled
agent on the continent. no matter how
poor he may be. can usually get a
hearing In business house easier
than man without title. No bogus
titles are allowed, and the company's
