An opaque fog which at some parts of

veiled the overhead decorations and the
troops lining the route and escorting the
sovereigns hid their bright uniforms under
heavy great coats. The crowds were not
large but nothing was lacking in the

Addresses were presented to them by the

MAKING SOLDIERS CLOTHING.
The Law May Prevent the Execution OF
the Presidents Wishes.

Secretary Taft has decided to ask the
Judge advocate general of the army for a
legal opinion defining his authority in
regard to the manufacture of soldiers
clothing at the Schuylkill arsenal, Phila-
delphia. it is the desire OF the Presldene
and the Secretary of War that this WORK
shall be done by the widows and orphans
of soldiers if that course is possible With
out violation of the general statutes pre-
scribing that government work shall be
let by contract to the lowest bidder
There is authority for the statement that
there is no disposition on the part OF
Ouartermaster General Humphrey or any
of the officers of the quartermasters de-
partment having control of this matter
to antagonize the plan of giving the work
to the widows and orphans of soldiers II
it can be done within the law.
At the request of Secretary Iait, Gen
Humphrey has prepared statement or
the facts in the case for SUBMISSION TO
the law officer of the department. In that
report Cen Humphrey showed that about
100000 garments of various kinds are
now being made by seamstresses at Phil
adelphia also that the quartermaSterS S
department had advertised for bids and
received replies before any controversy
had arisen over the subject. The bids
showed that the trousers could be made
by the manufacturers for 37h cents,
while they cost 75 cents when made by
the seamstreSSeS, making saving on the
order of $20, 900 to the government. Gen.
Humphrey calls attention to the statute
which compelled advertising for bids and
letting of contracts to the lowest bidder
where the same quality of work could be
secured, and the law officer of the army
is to give an opinion if the bids can be
rejected under the circumstances.

LONG REPORTS OPPOSED.
Heads of Departments Want Only Gen.
eral Facts

Voluminous reports from the heads of
various departmental bureaus are being
frowned upon by cabinet officers. A case
in point is the annual report of Mr.. Rich
ards. commissioner of the general land
Office.
Mr.. Richards has had a busy year, and
spent a considerable portion of the sum-
mer in the west personally looking after the
opening of large areas of public lands
His report went to Secretary Hitchcock
several weeks ago. but 1t has not yet been
made public owing to the fact that it was
considered too long, and it is being cut
down.
1t is understood that all details and ver-
biage will be stricken out of reports from
the departments, thereby lessening the cost
OF printing, while at the, same time giving
all of the general information in which the
public is interested.
This action is along the general lines of
reform and economy that is being put into
effect by the administration.

the panel of 100 talesmen might be eX-
hausted before the task was finished.
Thus far the general public has been
shut out entirely from the proceedings,

the case being allowed to enter the court
room. Yesterday the available space was
well filled by the court officials, newspaper
men and tie taiesmen waiting examination
as to their qualifications for jury duty.
and the officers who guarded all the doors
had little trouble in keeping back the
crowds which gathered in the corridors.
Whether the ban would be kept down
during the whole progress of the trial was
not known, but many who desired to take
advantage of the first opportunity to gain
admittance were or hand early today.
Defendants Cheerful Mien.
Miss Patterson seemed N very good
spirits wien she entered the court room
today and a brief chat with her counsel
before the trial was resumed added to her
apparent cheerfulness. Mr.. Levy informed
the defendant that the morning mail had
brought him a letter which might have an
important bearing on the case. What the
letter contained was not divulged.
The defendants father J. Randolph Pat
terson of Washington, was in the court
room early and occupied a seat near his
daughter within the bar inclosure.

REASON FOR THE ATTACK.
None Had Seen Japanese or Strange
Warship There Excepting the

HULL. England. November 1.-THE third
the North sea incident opened today with
further reiterations of the oft-repeated
story that there were no japanese, no guns
and no ammunition board the trawlers,
and that the fishermen could conceive of
no reason why they had been attacked.
None of them had been asked by any
Japanese agency to do anything, nor had
any of them seen a Japanese or strange
warship of any description in the North
sea with the exception of the Russians.
One witness admitted that on seeing the
tinguished lights he had remarked,
There's a torpedo boat"
Cross-examined by DIR. Woodhouse, coun-
sci representing the Russian embassy, the
witness said he was positive it was not
torpedo boat, but he was not sure 1t was
the Alpha. He never before had seen a
trawler with all her lights out.
