FLEET LEAVES FOR SYDNEY
American Sailors Win Praise for Be.
haviOr at Auckland.
LOUISIANA CREW WINS RACE
FintShes First In Rowing Contest
Admiral Sperry EnteRtaAns New
zealanders ON Board Battle
ship Connecticut.

AUCKLAND, N. T., Aug. I4.-The Ameri-
can Atlantic fleet departed for Sydney al
Sis o'clock this morning.
The weather was fine and large crowds
were ashore and afloat to bid farewell to
the Americans Excursion craft loaded to
the rails dotted the hsrbor.
AS anchors hoisted and the flagship
pointed its nose towards the mouth Of the
harbor, pandemonium reigned. The shore
batteries belched forth parting salutes.
which were answered by the American
ships. and the whistles and sirens on the
excursion flotilla resounded across the har-
Dor and were re-echoed by the distant hills.
The American ships were kept busy dipping
their flags in answer to the salutations of
the New Zealanders.
The fleet steamed with precision OF align
ment out OF the harbor and many Of the
excursion craft followed it far TO sea.
The American sailors have won the un-
stinted praise of the people of Auckland
for their behavior during the stay of the
fleet. Thousands of men have been ashore
day after day and there has been no dis
turbance of the peace. There was hew-
ever, an incident tonight which showed the
sympathies OF the Auckland people with
the sailorman on shore. The patrol from
the fleet was engaged in rounding UP
stragglers and getting them back on board
and a crowd was watching the operations.
At one stage OF the proceedings the people
came to the conclusion that the patrol was
handling some drunken sailors too roughly.
They threatened the patrol, who were
obliged 10 draw their revolvers. At this
moment the local police arrived, drove the
crowd back and escorted the patrol and
its prisoners 10 the wharf.
The cutter race between vessels OF the
fleet for the Battenburg cup was rowed in
the harbor today. The Louisiana crew led
the start and finished five lengths ahead
of the nearest competitors.
Admiral Sperry this afternoon enter
tained a distinguished party Of New Zea-
lsndsrs on board the battleship Connecti-
cut Among those present were Lord
Plunket, governor Of New Zealand, and Sir
Joseph Ward, the premier.
The Panther. the Glacier and the Relief

morrow.

CARBOLIC ACID KILLS BABE

Helpless Little One.
POLICE WORK ON THE MYSTERY
Mother OF the Chtld. ,wAo Was IN
Asylum for some Years, Tells
ConnictinG Stories 10
the 0mcers.

The South Omaha police are Investigating
the circumstances of the death by carboliC
acid Of Lemuel Allen, an infant Of II
months, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. George Allen
the former a packing house employe. The
theory and the result OF a post-mortem ex-
animation indicate the child was held in the
grasp of an adult, while an ounce OF the
poison-enough to XIII several men-was
forced down its throat. The father makes
very direct charges as to who in his opin-
ion, killed the baby and these charges are
being Investigated.
Drs. Lavender and Koutsky held the post
mortem and found that an ounce of acid
was given the child. They scoff at the state
ment of the mother that the child acci-
dentally got hold of the acid. pointing out
that the child could not. II 1t tried, drink
an ounce Of this stuff The woman made
another statement that she had placed car
bolic acid or the beds TO kill bed bugs and
thought perhaps the child had inhaled
the fumes OF the acid This was also
readily exploded by the finding at the post
mortem.
Bruises on the baby's right arm sub
stantiated the theory that the little one
had been held while the poison was ad-
ministered.
The father said when he left home for
work Thursday morning his baby appeared
to be well and it's death was reported as
occurring Thursday morning.
Mr.. Allen related a story TO the police
which has caused much excitement and
has let TO most searching inquiry. He
says he found a bottle Of carbolic acid
under his pillow a few night ago and
Ecolded his wife for being careless enough
TO leave II there.
Mrs Allen was an inmate OF the insane
asylum for several years. being released
about a year ago, but since that time hal
shown no indications Of a return 20 heI

WASHINGTON GARDEN
CASE is ON TRIAL
Injunction Suit Hearing Being Held in
Davenport District Court-Rule
Against Smith.

In the district court in Davenport
today the injunction case under the
Iowa mulct law against the Washing
ton garden is on trial. The case is
still occupying the court this after
noon. Judge Bollinger yesterday found
Leonard Smith of Princeton guilty and
issued an injunction against him.
There were several interesting feat
ures of the hearing in addition to the
important ruling of the court on the
question of the right of the defendant
to claim immunity from testifying. At
one point in the proceedings Isaac Pc
tersberger and Frank Betty, on oppo-
site sides of the case, engaged in a
heated personal argument, and Mr..
Betty demanded an apology or settle
ment in physical manner in an ante
room. The matter was patched up,
however, before the bout was pulled
off.
