President Roosevelt IS said to have

struction. II was thought he would
suggest at least half a dozen huge
battleships, and thus create an Atlantic

squadron, which leaves the East next
month TO LOOK things over out on the
Pacific
Following the general tendency in the
navies OF the world TO build more power
full and larger ships. and backed up
by the recommendations Of the general
board and Secretary Metcalf, the Presi-
dent intends to offer a good, stiff. and
substantial naval program. The de-
parture Of tie Atlantic fleet for the
Pacific will throw thousands OF men out
of work. This is said to have been a
great factor in President RO0sevelt's s de-
cisiOns to Immediately increase the
strength Of the naval construction.
While officers Of the navy admit tnat
six ships are better than four. and
would better protect the Eastern flank
Of the nation, they refrain from any
other comnisnt on the Presidents idea
Of increase.

ployment after the Atlantic feet leaves

With even a larger attendance than

The principal speakers Of the morning
were Frank Gaylord, OF Russia, and the

In speaking OF this phase OF his sub

The highest officials Of Russia, and
in fact even the Emperor Of that ex-
teusive country. have finally recognized
the great good which IS being accom-
plished by our organization. They not
only realize that the 7. NJ. c. A i'm
proves them morally and intellectually,
but they have come to know that the
associations are turning out men who,
when they attain their majority, will
make such citizens as Russia has never
known"
Bishop Roots spoke along the same
line in regard TO the work OF the asso-
citation in China. He said that there,
too. the Government had finally Of
dcialIy recognized the broadening ef-
fects and influence for good which the
Young Mems Christian Association has
over the coming generation, and that in
more ways than one have the officials
vorably inclined toward the Young
Meas Christian Association than they
are toward Church missionaries He
called attention to the fact that in al

With the exception of Mrs. Bradley's 5

10 the defendant as that introduced
yesterday, before adjournment until
Monday.
Following the testimony Of several OF

who knew Mrs. Bradley intimately IN a
professional and political way from
1892 TO 1901 and who testified IN sub

amounted to mcnomania, Lyman
Shrewsbury clinched the day for The
defense when he testified to insanity in
Mrs. B-adley's family. Shrewsbury
said that two Of Mrs. Bradley's aunts
had gone insane, one of whom was his
wife. He also said that the predon-

her belief that she had enemies who
