handling of babies is depriving them of
fresh air in the belief that all they need

WINTER MENEUVERS
FOR BATTLESHIPS
North Atlantic Squadron Will Exercise
Off the Cuban Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 27.-The
programme for the winter naval ma
neuvers determined upon by the navy
department contemplates the CONSOLE
dation of the North Atlantic squadron
off Guantanamo early in December, so
that the vessels may be present at the
transfer of the coaling station at that
point by Cuba to the United States.
Leaving Guantanamo, the vessels will
go to Culebra and there exercise in
squadron drills, target practice, etc.,
until Jan. 5, on which date the South
Atlantic and the European squadrons
Will join them, thus placing under the
command of Rear Admiral Barger,
commander-in-c chief of the North At
lantic, an immense fleet, consisting of
the squadrons named and the Carib-
bean squadron.
An elaborate programme, similar to
that of last winter, will be executed.
Towards the end of January the whole
fleet will proceed to Guantanamo,
where is will be joined by the coast
miral Sands, and strategic problems
undertaken by the combined forces.
The exercises will be continued at
Guantanamo until the last of Febru-
ary, when the whole fleet will proceed
along the north coast of Cuba, into
the Gulf of Mexico, going either. to Key
West or Pensacola, at one of which
points the annual record target prac-
tice will be had. This will consume
the greater part of the month of March.
The training squadron will probably
join the fleet in the Gulf of Mexico and
participate in the target practice.

HITS MURPHY AGAIN
Hugh Mclaughlin Keeps Up
Criticism of Tammany.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Hugh Nc
Laughlin, of Brooklyn, today issued
another statement attacking Charles
F. Murphy and Tammany Hall. Mr..
Mclaughlin said that had his advice
been taken the Kings county Demo-
Gratis would not have entered the recent
city convention. On this point he said:
But the younger men about me
thought it would be more in accord
ance with precedent to enter the con-
Ventlon and file their protest there, as
they did, and acquiesced. This did
the more readily because, despite the
pubic impression to the contrary, I
practically surrendered the leadership
OF the party into the hands of the
younger men several years ago and had
considered myself as bearing no rela-
ton to them other than that of an ad-
wiser, which is really my position to-
day.
Had felt that the duties of leader
ship were on my shoulders as they used
TO be, would never have countenanced
IN any degree the insolent attitude of
the Tammany leader in refusing even
to discuss his proposed ticket with the
representatives of Brooklyn.
Mr. Murphy would have learned
from me that the Tammany leader who
undertook to get along without the
cooperation of Kings county in the
makeup of the ticket would be under
the necessity of getting along without
the regular Democratic vote of Brook
lyn on election day."

REGULATIONS FOR
CUTTING PINE
Secretary Of the Interior Issues
Instructions Anent Forest
Reserve on indian Lands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81
The secretary of the interior has ap-
proved new regulations of the forester
of the department of agriculture for
the cutting and removing of pine tim
ber on the ceded lands of those parts
Of the Cass Lake and Mississippi Chip
pewa reservations in Minnesota select
ed for the Minnesota national forest
reserve
No tree is to be cut unless marked and
unless over ten inches in diameter. The
mamximum length for the measure
ment of white pine logs will be sixteen
feet and of Norway logs eighteen feet.
On logs twenty-four inches or less in
diameter, two inches additional length
and on logs over twenty-four inches.
three inches additional length will be
allowed for trimming of battered or
discolored timber. Logs longer than
sixteen or eighteen feet will be scaled
as two or more logs. The decisions of
the forestry inspectors are to be final
and persistent violations of the rules
will cause annulment of the contract
The tops and litter of trees cut must
be burned under the direction of the
inspectors, but material larger than
eight inches in diameter will not be re-
quired. Young timber left standing
must be amply protected. All mer-
chantable pine timber six inches or
over at the small end must be logged.

CRIMINAL SHOOTS
AT PRESIDENT DIAz
Unsuccessful Attempt Is Made
to Assassinate Mexlco's
Chief Magistrate.

GUANAJUATO, Mex, Oct. 27-Great
excitement was caused here TODAY bv
what looked like an attempt on the life
OF President Diaz, who was a guest of
the state government during the fes-
uvities here. The president, his staff
and guests were passing by the Oanta-
dor garden in the street car, when a
man of the lower class, named Elias
Toscano. approached the car shouting
and fired five shots from a revolver at
the car, doing no harm.
Paklo Escanodon, of the presidents
staff, rushed out of the car and caught
the man, wrenching the revolver from
his grasp. The police took Toscano to
prison. He has a bad criminal record
and was but recently released from
prison at Granditas, where he had
served term for homicide The mat
ter will be investigated. One theory
Is that Toscano was drunk and another
that he deliberately planned to shoot
the chief magistrate.
The president remained perfectly
cool and was acclaimed by the crowd
of citizens showing their joy at his
escape. Toscano's evil record makes
the theory of deliberate attempt at as
sassination appear probable.
