dickens FIfSt nome 10 he soiu'
PORTSMOUTH, England, Sept. o
The house in which Charles Dickens
was born on Feb. Z, 1912. at Ports
mouth is to be sold at auction on Tues
day, Sept. 20. The house, which is
1893 Commercial road. is to be disposed
of by direction of the trustees of the
will of the late Miss Sarah Pearce, its
last owner. The historical value of the
residence, it is said, is greatly increas-
ed by the fact that no other memorial
to the great novelist exists in Ports
mouth, and the a~uctioneers call atten-
ton to the fitting opportunity that is
afforded for the formation of Il Dickens
museum, which would prove Il great at
traction to his numerous admirers from
all parts of the world.

Army Thru Its PAGES
at Centocelle.

Rome, May lowing to the recent
heavy rains the military review in En-
peror Williams honor to-day did not take
place on the regular parade ground, but

field he had reviewed so, 900 men with the
late King Humbert
Notwithstanding the distance of Cento-
celle from Rome it was estimated that
100000 persons gathered to witness the
magnificent spectacle. The two sover-
eigns, the two German princes, Crown
Prince Frederick William and Prince Eitel
and four Italian princes and their suites
and 300 officers In brilliant uniforms, their
accoutrements sparkling in the sun,
formed picture brilliant in the extreme.
Queen Helena witnessed the review
from state carriage. She and the other
members of the royal and imperial parties
were heartily cheered.
The emperor showed great interest in
the bearing of the troops and highly com
mended the famous Bersagliere regiments.
Lunches at Embassy.
The emperor and his soAs lunched at
the German embassy. The Palazzo Calf
was bright with flowers. No ladies' were
present owing to the absence of the Ger
man cypress and to the fact that the am

Won Mazin. is not married. On the en-
peror's right sat Foreign Minister Moran,
Chancellor Won Buelow, Prince Colonna
the mayor of Rome, and Count Won Wedel

of policemen guarding the subway. A
rumor that could not be traced to a re-
liable source reached the ears of the police
to the effect that negroes were to be sub
stituted for the strikers
Five hundred striking laborers on the
Brooklyn subway attacked men who were
working at RockaWay avenue near Liber-
ty avenue and dragged them from work.
Reserves from two precincts were neces-
sary to restore order Ten arrests were
made. Fourteen hundred employees Of the
Chelsea jrlte mills in Greenpoint Brooklyn,
went on strike and handled roughly some
non union men who tried to go to work.
$1,000 Are Out.
Agent Landau of the Italian labor union
said there were $4,000 men on strike in
the city and that all work in the Bronx
soon would be stopped
A big box of explosives which was in
a shanty for the excavating work in the
Bronx was ordered buried by the police
and two guards were stationed near to
watch it. Encouraged by the action of
the central federated union in indorsing
their demands, the laborers employed on
the subway remained on strike to-day and
the tieup of work was as complete as on
Saturday.
Fifty strikers threatened three men
working on the excavation for the Broad
way arcade building at SiXty-fifth street
and Broadway forcing them to quit work.
A rounds1nan and six patrofmen dispersed
the men.

His OnenInc,

Erwin so CharacterIzes the Defense In
His Opening.
Wv. w. -Erwin's, opening for the defense
in the case against. Former Mayor A. A.
Ames was naturally a scholarly produc-
ton and. an oratorical masterpiece. It
was full of well-rounded periods and was
eloquent in delivery, but was long in COM
ing to the point as to what the defense
would. be. ~,
Mr.. Erwin alluded to the. Ames trial as
the most extraordinary in the history of
the city. AS the assassination of the presi-
dent was treason against the state the
accusation against the man who had been
four times mayor of the city was a blow
against, that city,.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said, you
are not only conscious of your great re-
sponsibility, but are conscious that the
eyes of the whole western world are upon
you.
you are aware from the nature of the
evidence that the defense can not produce
any contradictory evidence
The denial must come from the charac-
ter, the history and the antecedents OF
this defendant.
you will be called upon to make an
inuqiry not only as to the defendants
honesty, good government, ETC., but also
as to the character Of his mind"
| Mr.. Erwin went on to attribute Ames
course to the Vaccinations of various per-
sons working upons man whose mind
was weak.

who, in spite of reported warnings, were
unable to prevent a band of miscre.
ants from driving thru the most promin-
ent quarters Of a populous city, hurting
dynamite bombs at random and leaving
genral ruin in their train.
The nature of the steps which will be
taken by the country in view of the ca
tastrophe is not yet certain. Meanwhile,
the reports of the consul at Salonica and
the ambassador at Constantinople are
awaited with anxiety One of the imme-
date consequences of the untoward de-
velopment of affairs was the dispatch Of
the Austro- Hungarion naval squadron,
consisting of the Hapsburg, Wien and
Manet, which arrived off Salonica Satur-
day. Officially the mission of these YES
sells is to afford protection to. the Austro-
Hungarian colony, and, if necessary. serve
as a refuge. Care is also taken to pro-
claim the fact that the presence Of the
Austrian men of war should not be mis-
interpreted as naval demonstration
against Turkey and that by this maritime
display, the attention of the porte should
be turned from the work of restoring
order in its own house.
1t is accepted here as certain that the
direct result of crimes perpetrated in
Salonica will be a crisis in relations be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey. Indeed one
of the many kilograms published last night
asserts point blank that Turkey is on the
eve of sending formal ultimatum to the
principality. On the other hand, a
private dispatch to zeit states that the
Russian ambassador, in the course of an
audience with the sultan, intimated that
should there not be rapid improvement
in the situation marines would land at
Salonica and that Austria would occupy
Novi Bazaar with a military force.

Chicago May 4.-Serious as is the pres :

Driven up against the stone wall of the
states convincing case. Former Mayor A.
A. Ames pleads insanity in the hope Of
escaping conviction.
The existence Of the whole nefarious
system OF graft will in this way be
practically admitted by the defendant and
he will throw himself upon the mercy of
the jury by attempting to show that he
was mentally irresponsible.
W.. w Erwin has contended for this
line of defense for some time past. Frank
Nye has recently been won over, but un-
TIL this noon it is understood that the
doctor himself objected. At last, how
ever, he has been persuaded and will ap-
pear in court in the role of a Victim Of
paresis.
With the testimony given by four of
the women who paid their share Of the
graft to Irwin Gardner, acting as DR.
Ames' collector, the states case was COM
pleted to-day. Gardeners connected ac-
count OF, the Ames graft system has now
been corroborated in practically every de-
tail.
The early conclusion of the prosecution
came as a surprise to the defense and re-
suited in Mr.. Nye's asking for time Gin
which to consider the course to be pur-
sued. Nothing transpired in the morn
ing which could have lin any way inter-
fered with a. prearranged4 plan Of defense,
and had one been fully determined upon,
there would have been no occasion for
any delay.
Both Irwin Gardner and Thomas r..
Brown have been subpoenaed by the de-
tense, probably for the purpose OF sup
porting the insanity theory. Mrs. Ames
is also expected ito take the stand.
Mrs. Ames was absent from her accus-
toned place beside her husband this
morning for the first time since the open
Ing of the trial. The doctor looked as he
has during the entire proceeding, appar-
emily only a spectator and showing no
lively interest in any of the happenings
of the courtroom. The strain of the trial
has made no visible mark upon him ex-
cept that he may be&.a 'trif1e paler and
this morning his usual cheerfulness was
not apparent. y.
Mr. Mead stated this morning that he
| wanted to disclaim any credit for the
drawing of the Omnibus indictment. He
stated positively that the suggestion and

u
Much was expected from the exan1ina-
ton Of ex-Police Captain Henry Krum-
weide as q witness In the Ames case
Saturday afternoon, but Krumweide did
not come up to- expectations. It was this
officer who pulled the notorious Ray
Harris place, 305 Washington avenue S.
He was supposed to have been given in
structions to not modest Ray Harris
again as she had paid for protection.
:: krumweide testified with regard to the
arrest, but baked on admitting that he
was afterward instructed to let her alone.
On the contrary, when Krumweide
reached this point in the story, he said he
went to see the mayor, as he understood
some ione was ''kiclxing'' about the arrest
Of Ray Harris. The mayor then informed
the captain to obey the orders of his SUI;
periors, this In spite of the fact that
the witness complained that they were
issuing contradictory orders. The witness
admitted. however, that Ray Harris re-
sumed her business Immediately, and that
she was not again molested.
Captain George Sinclair recited some
facts regarding the meetings in the
mayors medical office when the campaign
against unprotected women was inau-
gurated. He went to Gardner's office on

Baker G. Eddy Judge Arnold referred
the application for charter to a, master
who after a hearing recommended that
the charter be refused on the ground that
lit would be injurious to the community
to incorporate a group of citizens who
would preach the doctrine that there is no
such thing as a contagious disease or any
disease ard practice the art of curing
what are called contagious disease by in
audible prayer whether in the presence

The masters opinion was endorsed by
Judge Arnold who filed an opinion refus-
ing the charter on the ground that the
purpose of the association as disclosed
