AMERICAN FLEET IS GIVEN
GRAND SEND OFF BY Brazil
Thousands on Shore and Aoa Cheer Departing Americans
Who Part With Best Of Good President
Visits and Reviews the Fleet

b. Rio Janiero, Jan. %. - To the
booming of guns and cheers of thou
sands on accompanying pleasure
craft, the American warships sailed
from Rio Janiero this afternoon,
bound for Punta Arenas, on Magellan
strait. Ten days will bring the fleet
almost midway on it's 14,000-mile
cruise to San Francisco, and ships
and men carried with them today the
Godspeed and good wishes of the
whole Brazilian nation.
Not an untoward incident had
marked the visit of the Americans
here. They were Toasted and feted,
both officers and men, during their
sojourn in Rio, and half the popula
ton turned out to give them fitting
farewell. AS upon the arrival of the
fleet, the quays, public buildings and
hills were crowded with thousands
watching the warships. until they had
disappeared through the mouth OF
the bay into the open sea.
President of the republic, Dr. Pen
ma, came to Rio Janiero from Petrolis
about IL o'clock and proceeded in the
yacht Silva down to where the war,

ships were lying. He went aboard
the cruiser Benjamin Constant,
which was in readiness to accompany
the American fleet, and made a tour
of all the American ships. He Wis
tied the divisional flagship Mime
sofa, remaining there about an hour.
While the president was aboard the
Minnesota and during his trip among
the vessels salutes were exchanged
and on his departure from the flag
ship twenty-one guns were fired. DR..
Penna then returned to his yacht,
which proceeded to a point off Fort
Villeganon to watch the departure
of the ships.
About o'clock the American feet
began to move, passing out in single
column and in inverse order accord
ing to divisions, the Alabama lead
ing. The great warships moved slow
ly at first, but as they disappeared
from view they were steaming at
ten-knot pace. One by one as they
passed the presidents yacht they sa-
luted with twenty-one guns and the
forts replied There was much wav-
ing of small flags and handkerchiefs
and the cheering seemed incessant.

THAW TRIAL DRAWS TO CLOSE

walk unassisted because of her re-
cent illness, was not long upon the
stand. She told of Thaws early life
of influences before his birth and of
mental unsoundness of two of ner
brothers. She was not cross-exam-
ined. Mr.. Jerome cortented himself
with reading to the jurors an affidav-
it made by the elder Mrs. Thaw last
year when the question of her sons
sanity was before the lunacy COM
mission. In that affidavit she de-
clare,: that in direct line of descent
there had been no insanity in Harry
Thaws family for four generations
AS to the collateral cases, Mrs. ThaW
said in the affidavit there were but
two and they were easily accounted
for. In her statement to thn COM
mission Mrs. Thaw also resented in
situations which she said she had
been compelled to suffer because of
newspaper reports of insanity in the
family, and she asserted that there
were no family secrets to hide and
no skeleton to be barred.
Mr.. Littleton may continue with
expert testimony tomorrow, or he
may offer as witnesses doctors from
Rome, Paris and London, who are
to testify briefly of attending Thaw
in those cities. Another doctor is
expected to testify about an out
break on train, and that will end
all save expert testimony Today the
codicile of Thaw's will was placed in
evidence, but the will itself was tenn
porarily ruled out because of insult
ficiency of evidence showing its GUS
tody since 1905. Mr.. Littleton said
that he would supply this tomorrow
or Friday.

not wholly an idealist, a man not
wholly a practical man, but man
who, animated by the nations best
ideals, who will set out to reach them
on practical lines-will travel onward
by roads that are. laid on the solid
earth.
tAhead of this generation Of Amer
leans lies a work that in time will
constitute one of the greatest tri-
umphs of our history. But to sue
cessfully accomplish it we must be
safely piloted past the dangers OF
panic and business depression on the
one hand, and the dangers Of greed
and selfishness that wishes to remain
unmolested, on the other. It will
take a trained captain as we'll as a
determined one to pilot the ship
Courageous, hearty, straightforward
