YANKEE NAVY
CAUSES ALARM
German League Points Out
Impotence of Their Ships
Compared to Our Fleets
URGES MORE BUILDING
Argument Made for a New
Marine Organization With
Vessels of Greater Power
Special Diupatch to rhs can

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-In the next num-
Der Of its publication the German Navy
League will create q navy scare for
propaganda purposes. It will be shown
that the thirteen new battleships ot
the United States, armed with twelve
guns OF more than 25 centimeter cali
Der, would be able TO destroy the armor
OF Germany's greatest battleships be-
fore their inferior guns could reach
an effective range.
Accordingly the 1900 navy plan will
be represented as Out-Of-date and de-
handing replacement by a new marine
organization with far stronger battle
ships. Besides, the league points out
that the American ships now being
built constitute a mighty feet, able to
cope with the whole German navy. The
scare Is believed to foreshadow naval
proposals during the ensuing session
on a far greater scale than was an

the charges preferred against Captain

Lieutenant William Muenter of En-
CINE for exercising their horses and
taking out the machines at a different
time from that fixed by the depart

they wished. to see the knights Tenn
plar parade and by. leaving the engine
house an hour ahead of the time for
exercising they and their men were
enabled to do so. The officers said
that such had been the custom. They
explained that. they left man on
watch at the engine-house to give
them warning in case of an. alarm
and stationed their engine most of the
time on Van Ness avenue near the po-
lice ropes. Battalion Chief ConlOn
testified that leaving engine and
horses on asphalt on hot day was in
furious to the equipment. The Com
missioners deferred their decision.
Both men have. fine records.

AUTOPSY SHOWS THAT MAJOR
ADAMS RIBS WE'RE FRACTURED
Doctors at Emergency Hospital Failed
to Find Them in Their dag
nOsiS of the Case.

= The autopsy on the remains Of Ma
jor Thomas B. Adams, u. S. A, who
died from injuries received by being
struck by a car at Post and Powell
streets, showed that in addition to a
fracture of the skull, six upper ribs
on the right side and the right CLAW
icle were also fractured. These in
juries escaped the attention of the
surgeons at the Central Emergency
Hospital, as in their diagnosis entered
on the official register only the injury
to. the head was noted. DIR. Baciga-
lupi, the autopsy surgeon at the
Morgue, states that death was due
principally to. traumatic pneumonia
In his opinion, If proper treatment
had been given the life of the Of
f1cer might have been saved. He does
not believe that the fracture of the
skull alone would have caused death.

Court Baffied by a Woman
Who Claims to Be Person
Thought Dead Years Ago
BIG ESTATE INVOLVED
Claimant Is Denied by Her
Alleged Daughter, but Is
Acknowledged by Brother
BIG ESTATE INVOLVED
Special Dispatch to TIL. Gail.

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 30-A
woman claiming to be Mary Kingston,
who disappeared twenty years ago, and
has since been believed to be dead, has
turned up, laid claim to being the
mother Of a young lady also named
Mary Kingston, and to being the owner
OF extensive real estate possessed by
the girl in the valuable portion of the
Batson Prairie oil fields. Her claims
are vigorously disputed. The young
lady has denounced the older woman
as an imDostor. A sister of the woman.
who disappeared years ago, also de-
MES the newcomers claims, bat a
brother, John Carson. testifies that the
woman is really their long missing
sister.
A suit for possession of the young
Miss Kingstons property was filed by
the elderly woman, and after three
days trial came to an end this evening.
AS an Identification, it was recalled
by the sister that the real Mrs. King
stOn. when a little girl, had acciden-
tally chopped off the tip of a big toe
and that the tOenail had grown straight
downward over the end of the remain
ing stump. Mrs. Kingston removed the
shoe and stocking from her right foot
for the inspection of the court and
jury. The result was mystifying, for
instead of the large toe showing the in
jury. the. one next to it appeared to he
mashed off.
After an all days deliberation the
jury disagreed. seven favoring award
ing the woman her claim. five oppos-
ing her. The rentals from the land in.
volved alone amount to thousand dol
lars a week. Further litigation will
enSue.

whose seri is illness was announced
last night. continued extremely grave
throughout to-day There were times
during the day. notably. in the early
morning and late IN the afternoon.
when the attending physicians believed

sponded 90 the heroic remedies and
seemed 90 gain. some OF the lost ground.
Tonight at about S o'clock Payne fell
into q restfui sleep which continued for
some time. The doctors regarded this
as encouragi for 4 peaceful: night.
Several bulletins were issued by the
physicians during the day and all Of
them indicated the critical condition Of
the patient. The greatest cause Of
alarm was the feebleness Of the heart
action, and il was found necessary to
administer saline solution and nitro
glycerine TO stimulate that organ.

EASTERN FIRM WILL
-. PRINT CITY'S BONDS
Supervisors Decide for Steel Engrav-
ing and Regret the Work Cannot
Re Dome Hero.


The Supervisors Committee on.
Printing. yesterday reported in favor
+ of having the city Improvement bonds
made from steel engravings and
awarding the contract to the Western
Bank Note Company of Chicago, rep
resented by the II. S. Croker Com
pany, the lowest bidder, at $4,000.
The committee expressed regret that
there were no steel engraving plants in
this city, but it was agreed. that the
steel engraving was superior to .lith-
ographing and would be more &C.
ceptable to the moneyed institutions
which would handle the issues.
Charles F.. Traung of the Lith-
ographers Association urged the COM
mittee to award the contract to some
l1thographing concern in this city. He
said the steel engravings would cost
$4,000 more than lithographing and
none but an. expert could tell the diff
ference.
John P. .Langle, representing a bid
der, declared that the New York
Stock Exchange listed municipal
bonds only on condition that they
were made from steel engravings.
This condition was imposed as a pre-
caution against counterfeiting. B. s.
Hubbard, representing one of the bid
ders, said that if the bonds were list
ed i'm New York 1t would necessitate
the establishment of a paying agency
there. He had never heard of litho-
graphs being counterfeited, but bank
notes and other engraved work were
being duplicated every day. Letters
were read from many banking insti-
tutions favoring the engraving of the
bonds.
