IS THE FLEET UNPREPARED-.
Serious Defects Alleged to Exist in
the Battle ships.
From tie New YORK Evening Post

From the New YORK Evening Post
No well-infOrmed person anywhere
believes that the cruise is in the inter
est Of the navy's efficiency. We print
elsewhere a remarkable statement from
a man who has crUised repeatedly with
the fleet and knows it from top to bot
tom. His statements are on all tours
with those criticisms of our ships which
have recently appeared in the Navy,
and have not been cCntrOverted by the
Navy Department Even from the i'm
perialistic and lingo point Of view, he
shows. the cruise is folly. for the fleet IS
nearly as unprepared as the Russian. and
as little drilled in battle tactics. It
may impress the American public; prove
effective with the next Republican con-
vention; help Secretary NetcaIf to get
into the Senate from California: induce
Congress 10 vote more battle ships and
build more navy yards on the Pacific.

AUTHORITIES ARE PUZZLED
Worried by Conflicting Stories of
Mullen and Weiss Girls Family.
Brother. Identified by the Injured
Man as AssailHnt, Is StiII Held
by the Police.

Although several days have been spent
in investigating the matter, the local
and Virginia authorities are still ap-
parently much puzzled concerning the
identity of the assafant of John Mullen.
who was shot and seriously injured Sun
day evening, in Dead Mans Hollow a
short distance from RoSslyn.
Amelia Weiss, his companion on that
afternoon, stiH maintains that 1t was a
subsequently made an attack upon her.
On the other hand, Mullen, who is at the
Georgetown University Hospital, claims
that his assailant was not a negro, and
positively Identifies Charles Weiss, a
brother of the young girl as the man
Having these two exactly contrary
statements, the authorities are at a loss
to know the truth concerning the attack.
Weiss, who is being held at the Seventh
precinct station, denies that il was he
who did the shooting, and claims that
he was near his home in Southwest
Washington at the time Of the attack.

deavoring to determine whether the
alibi set up by the man was correct.
Statements were received from persons
in the vicinity, which tend to show that
Weiss was in that section of the city at
the time the attack was made on Null
len.
The Virginia authorities have requested
that Weiss be held at the Seventh pre-
ctnct because OF the positive statement
which Mullen has made at several times
concerning the identity Of his assailant.
Last night, when Attorney Mackey, &C
companied by Ameil Weiss. another
brother of the young giyl, visited Mullen
at the hospital TO inform him of the
alibi that Charles Weiss had been able
to prove. the injured man said to young
Weiss: 1T was your brother who shot

DOCTORS FIX A PRICE LIST
Graded Scale in France Arouses De-
termined Opposition.
Medical Men Defend Position and
Claim They Must Live by
Their Trade.

Paris, oct. There was some agita-
ton at Clarendon. and the neighboring
communes to-day over what the people
considered an attempt on the part OF
physicians. issued a general notification,
that. beginning to-day, a new schedule
of honorariums would go into effect for
all patients except workmen. the new
tariff taking into consideration the world
" condition OF the patients, and also
the bodily comfort Of the physicians.
Workmen would be charged three
francs as usual. tradesmen. well-to-do
employers, and small landlords. four
francs; great merchants, &c. FIVE fracs
during the day. Between I and 10 in the
evening and Sunday and holiday after
Moons the prices would be doubled From
10 in the evening until : in the morning
the prices would be ten fracs aft.
All classes are protesting vehemently
against what they call the doctors pre-
tensions. which. they say, are against
good sense and contrary 10 the laws of
humanity. Meetings have been organized
10 devise measures to safeguard the COM
munity against the doctors demands.
One plaeard calls the demands scan
dalous and declares that doctors are too
often ignorant of their patients maladies
20 pretend TO judge their social station.
The doctors reply with some asperity
that the patients cry as though they were
being skinned alive, adding: 1T is neces-
sary for us to live. We are not apostles.
We are Just people who live by our trade.
The cost Of living increases and We must
meet it."
One physician remarks that nobody
would contend for a moment that the
amputatiOn of a leg or arm Of the Kaiser
or a Rockefeller should be performed for
the same prices as similar operation on
poor workman.

Berkeley, Cal, oct 2-Prof Jacques
Loeb. the famous biologist Of the Uni
versity of California. in a bulletin issued
to-day from the Office Of the president,
makes the statement that the germ Of
life can be discovered. providing the
chemical reactions surrounding the pro-
cess Of fertilization are investigated.
Tie announcement Of Prof. Loeb has
been received with great interest by the
university men Of science as a distinct
step in the discovery of the production
OF living matter from the inanimate.
The university savant takes the stand
that all that differentiates living matter
from the machines which he has produced
in the laboratory Of the university is the
power Of animal objects 10 develop and
reproduce themselves automatically. ALL
therefore, that IS necessary. he declares.
IS for the scientist to discover the chemi-
cal process which causes the development
Of the egge into the embryo.
Living organisms have the peculiarly
Of developing and reproducing themselves
automatically. and 1t is this automatic
character Of reproduction and develop
ment which di1erentiatas them for the
time being from machines made from
inanimate matter. Hence, the answer 10
the question Of what living matter Is viii
have TO be an answer 10 the question as
10 what determines the phenomena Of
automatic development and reproduction.
The admittance Of oxygen into the fer
tilted egg Is declared by Prof. Loeb 10 b
one Of the greatest importance Without
oxygen. he says, the egg cannot develop.
On this point he says: The fortified
| egg cannot develop or increase the num-
Der Of its nuclei unless an ample supply
of free oxygen is present As soon as
oxygen is admitted TO the eEs which has
been deprived OF il the synthesis OF NJ
/ Cleiu and augmentation begin again
The summing UP Of the bulletin shows
that Prof Loeb is working along Jhe
lines suggested in his latest writings. He
SAYS that he has not as yet time To- con-
tinue the experiments 10 discover the
germ Of life, although he thinks he is on
the right path.

London, oct. "A dispatch from Liver
pool states that the Cu.4ard Steamship
Company has accepted Charles Frohman's
offer to provide suitable plays and con-
certs and that a hall specially designed
for such performances will be provided
on each of the three Cunard steamships
that are now projected.
In these days of progress the steamships
have included more and more the com
forts Of land, so that passengers hardly
know they are at sea unless they go up
on deck to have a look at the water or
get seasick. The hve-day boats enjoy
most Of the advantages Of a first-class
hotel they are fitted out with telephones
and elevators; there are newspapers pub
lished on board, and the ships keep in
touch with land all the way over sea by
the wireless telegraphy.

ALI Hayman MI FrOhm8n's manager
here, when seen this morning. confirmed
the news. Light comedy was to ne tried

would be put upon the steamship boards.
Mr.. Frohman has been thinking Of
this for some time" said Dir. Hayman.
"The chief activity is on the London
side. where Mr.. FTOhman is cooperating
with the CUnard company. The scheme
will probably De tried first on the Lusi-
tania, and ocean voyageys VIII have the
opportunity of enjoying a real treat"
Mr. Hdyman said he could not tell just
when the plan would be put I'm operation.
The details, he admitted, had not yet
been definitely settled on
1T is not mOuey-makiug venture" he
added; but he explained that the financial
