Today.
Multitude Present-Dedicatorv
Exercises-Address by J.J.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
St. Paul, Sept: 3.-Under a cloud
less sky and with cool September
breezes tanning the multitude, the
Minnesota state fair association today
began its annual agricultural exposi-
tion and stock show.
This is an event in which the entire
agricultural and live. stock raising in
dustries of the northwest are especial
ly interested, and every train for the
past twenty-four hours has been un-
loading its cargo of human freight at
the depots in the Twin Cities, and both
cities are en- fete for the occasion
With the opening of the gates early
today, the thrush of visitors began,
and it is estimated that the quota turn
ed into the fair grounds by st. Paul
and Minneapolis on account of the
holiday will make the attendance to-
day record-breaker.
The special feature of today was the
dedication of the immense live stock
amphitheater, which has recently been
completed and which has a seating
capacity of 1000 persons. In this
building horse fairs will be held dur
ing fair week, and some of the bluest
blooded horses of the country will be
exhibited there.
Dedicatory exercises began at IL
o'clock this morning B. F. Nelson,
vice president of the State Fair asso-
citation, made a brief address. in which
he turned over the new building to
Governor Johnson, representing the
state. Governor johnson responded,
and at the close of his address intro
duced J. ]. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad, who delivered a
long address. Mr.. Hill said:

Kansas City, Sept. ga live stock
commission contest was begun here
today when the Cooperative Live
Stock company, incorporated at Den
yer last July, started business here.
The company had its inception last
April at the annual meeting in Denver
Of the American National Live Stock
association when it was decided ito
take action against the recent advance
In commission charges for the sale of
live stock at the various markets."
Stock in the company was sold only
to live stock producers and feeders
and no one person was permitted to
hold more than fifty shares.
The company will, it is stated, re-.
duce the commission on sheep and
hogs 81 carload and will boycott the
exchange of commission men at Chi

When Harry X. Thaw Heard
of It, He Became Very
Angry.

New York, Sept. 3-Harry Kendall
Thaw will not be tried for the murder
of Stanford White until, the middle of
November.
When his wife brought the news of
the change in date of the trial to the
prisoner in the tombs he became ir-
ritable and expressed dissatisfaction
at what he styled unnecessary delay
on the part of the district attorney.
1t was announced at the district at
torney's Office that the trial would
doubtless be postponed because of the
large number of homicide cases await
ing disposal.
Thaw expressed the opinion that the
trial will be of short duration, and he
feels confident of a verdict of acquittal.

TROUBLE THE RESULT Of An
attempt TO Make An ARREST
Rioters Dynamited From House

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Punxsutawney. Pa, Sept. 3.-Two
members of the state constabulary
dead, one dying and two others wound
ed, is the result of a riot with Italians
at Florence, seven miles from here,
yesterday. One of the Italians is dead,
another is slightly wounded, and two
are under arrest, while the house in
which the rioters barricaded them
selves, is wreck from dynamite used
by the troopers to dislodge the rioters.
The dead are:
PRIVATE JOHN HENRY of Phil

lets and rescued just before the house
fort was destroyed.
UNIDENTIFIED ITALIAN, shot

C. Chambers of Rochester, Pa, shot
through head and body. having five
wounds, mostly buckshot.
The less seriously wounded are:
William A. Mullen of Harrisburg, shot
through right foot, George Felitzsk,,
aged 12, son of rioter, shot through
the leg.
Sergeant Joseph Logan of Dubois,
who was at first reported among the
injured and whose attempt to make
an arrest led to the lattle, was not
hurt.
Logan went to Florence Yesterday
afternoon to arrest an Italian charged
with murder.
Instead of capturing the man, Logan
tried to arrest two others who wer-
fighting. He went into the house where
the men boarded and an Italian
stabbed at Logan with a stiletto and
as he made his way from the house
he was fired upon.
Logan turned and emptied his re-
volver into the doorway, then ran.
Help was summoned from the state
constabulary headquarters here, and
five troopers were sent to Logan's aid.
AS they approached the house they
were fred upon from almost every
window Private Henry fell dead with
bullet through his heart. The others
retreated, but Privates Chambers and
Mullen rushed up to bring back their
comrade, not knowing he was dead.
Mullen got few buckshot through his
right foot; Chambers received five
shots, three in his chest and two on
the right side of his head. They stag
gered back and Chambers was caught
by his comrades and sent to the hOspi-
tai. Although seriously injured, he is
resting we'll.

New York, Sept. 3.-The mightest
squadron OF warships ever gathered
together in Western waters were Of
fic.ally reviewed 'by President Roose-
velt at Oyster Bay today. Forty-five
vessels of the new navy. ranging in
size from the mighty battleship Louis
lana with a displacement of 1866 tons
to the tiny submarines Porpoise and
Shark. took part in the great naval
spectacle. More than 500 shots were
fired from the huge naval guns, and
it is estimated that the entire cost of
the review will foot up nearly $1,0OO,-
900. Eight hundred officers and $4,000
men comprise the crews aboard the
ships.
Long Island Sound. opposite Oyster
Bay, presented a striking spectacle,
owing to the great gathering or war
ships, dressed from stem to stern and
with their yards manned and their
sides lined with their crews. The town
and harbor of Oyster Bay were astir
early. Immense crowds assembled
along the sea front and rounds of
cheers mingled with the national an
them and salutes from the excursion
boats as the yacht Mayflower steamed
out of the harbor with President
Roosevelt aboard. With the president
were Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte,
Assistant Secretary Newberry and
party of half dozen invited guests.
The Mayflower was followed by the
Sylph with Mrs. Roosevelt and her
house party aboard.
The day opened overcast and stormy,
with intervals of hard rain, driven be-
fore stiff but variable winds. Disap-
pointing weather conditions were not
allowed to interfere with any details
OF the program, however. and appar-
emily had no effect upon the crowd
that gathered to witness the imposing
spectacle.
The fleet of warshps was drawn up
in three lines due north OF Pine and
Center Islands. and about 1900 yards
from Center Island Point. the fleet fac
ing eastward at 450-yard intervals. A
picket line of boats was established
100 yards outside the fleet formation
and beyond this picket line yachts and
other craft were obliged to anchor.
