to lecture on his ideas for a national
highway from New York to San

details of his extraordinary trip, be-
gun partly from health motives but
more from a desire to promote the
good roads movement

An arrest made yesterday which some were

Hirschorn at No. 10 Second avenue. All that gave
color to the belief was the manner of the arrest
The arresting officers said they Shields and

the district unless they had been specially de-
tailed Moreover they rolled up TO the saloon In an
automobile. still another policeman In plain clothes

In investigating the report II was brought to
light that picked squad was assembled at Police
Headquarters Saturday morning and that the
utmost secrecy maintained about them. Be-
tween fifteen and twenty young patrolmen who
had been selected from different precincts gath
cred in the office Of Fourth Deputy Commissioner
Arthur Woods.
Shortly after midnight, Sergeant Warzanski with
a squad of detectives, appeared at 14th street and

nR MACARTHUR FAvoRs CRUISE.

..The Pacific IS TO he the of the future;
the worlds commercial and naval battles are 10
be fought there" said the Rev. Dr. Robert s.
Macarthur yesterday morning. after he had re-
viewed the sailing OF the Pacific fleet before the
members OF the Current Events Glass of Calvary
Baptist Church. DR.. Macarthur mentioned that
the first chapter in struggle to conquer the Pa
cific began when the feet left Hampton Roads
week ago.
While he expressed his belief that the United
States would be the dominant power on the Pa
cific where. he said. the struggles of the future
would take place. Or. Macarthur added that the
cruise would increase the efficiency of the men
and was the first in drama the conclusion
of which would be the commercial and naval su-
premacy OF the Pacific Ocean.
The fleet, he said, with the exception Of two or
three fleets assembled by the English navy, was
the largest that sailed under command,
and its strength vastly than match
for the combined fleets of Japan and Russia dur
ing the war The movement by the government
was characterized by DR.. Macarthur one OF
the wisest in the present administration, and. de-
spite many criticisms that the Atlantic Coast

would show that the administration had taken
step for the development of commerce which

Central Federated Union Asks That Body to
Take Up Question.

The Central Federated Union took up the decision
yesterday of Judge Hough Of the United states
Circuit Court sustaining the finding OF Arthur II.
Masten. MASTER that the so-cent law was un-
constitutional. Henry De Veaux. OF the Actors
Protective Union said that this decision hit at the
working people. and at the poor generally.
Several other delegates said that they could not
understand why such decision was rendered. as

RETURN OF TIE FLEET.
Secretary Netcalf Says No Decision
Has Been Reached Yet.

Washington Dec. 22--"The programme for
the return of the battleship feet is a matter
that has been discussed among the officials of
has been reached and VIII not be for some time
TO come" said Secretary Metcalf Of the Navy
Department to-day.
The Secretary's remarks were called out by
wireless message from the flagship Connecticut
stating that Admiral Evans had authorized the
Associated Press to say it his personal be-
lief that the Navy Departments present inten-
ton was have the battleshlp feet return by
way OF the Suez Canal next summer fall. AS
the President. through Secretary Loeb. pre-
yiousy had spoken 10 the same effect. 1t seems
clear that Admiral Evans's statement not
suggested by any definite far deter
mined on by those supreme in authority. In
naval circles the opinion prevails that at most
only squadron composed of such vessels as
the voyage to the Pacific shall have demon
strated 10 be "the pick of the fleet will be sent
home through the Suez Canal. while the re-
mainder will take the shorter route around the
Horn 1t is not likely however, that all sixteen
battleships will make the return voyage, the
desirability Of stronger fleet in the Pacific may
be met by the retention Of perhaps several Of
Admiral Evanss ships in those waters. But,
Ike Admiral Evans's belief to the returning
via the Suez Canal. the question of permanently
reinforcing the Pacific squadron has not gone
beyond the discussion stage. and its final de-
termination hinges on developments of the next
civ months
