 In the afternoon President Roosevelt was the principal speaker at the lay ing of the cornerstone of the Colored Young Mems Christian Association build ing.

The dinner was pure, ly a family affair, but the three oldest sons were not at home. MT. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Miss Ethel Roosevelt were present. The piece de resistance of the dinner was a well-fed turkey, a 26-pounder, from the farm of Horace Vose, the patriotic Rhode lsland- CT, who for many years past has been the contributor of the lucky turkey which has graced the White House table OH Thanksgiving Day.
 President Roosevelt did not attend Thanksgiving services at any of the churches. He spent a couple of hours during the forenoon in his office attend ing to official business, but did not re- ceive any callers.

Tom Ed7lOndSOn Charged
 With FiendiSh Murder
Charred Bodies Of Wife and Two Children Are Found In Ruins Of Burned Home At Woodland Mills In Moryan County
 Edmondson and His Mother Cannot Be Found

Hartselle, November 26.-(special.) 1.-The wife and two children of Tom Edmond son of woodland Mills were burned to death in their home last night and the acting coroner's jury lays the charge of murder to the husband and father, who has disappeared
 The home and barn were destroyed by fire during the night. At first 1t was believed that Edmondson and his entire family, including his aged mother had been destroyed in the flames. The theory of robbery and murder was advanced, while some were of the opinion that the fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp.
 It was discovered this morning, how ever, that the remains of Tom Edmond son and his mother were not in the ruins. This directed suspicion to the head of the family, which suspicion is said to be strengthened by certain reported do- nestle troubles in the family.
 Justice John Self empanelled a jury and a careful investigation was made. The verdict of the jury is as follows; That the members of the Edmondson family came to their death at the hands of Tom Edmondson."
 It is believed that he deliberately set fire to his home to cover up the crime

SUGGESTION FOR
 NAVAL ECONOMY

washington, November 26.-"There Is vast field for improvement in the huge machinery installed in the United States navy. and many problems of efficiency and economy which can be solved, not ably in coal and oil consumption, and the reduction of expenses of a ship coming to navy yards for repairs by close and better supervision of machinery de- tails, and lastly greater economy in navy yard management" says Admiral John K. Barton, engineer-in- chief of the navy, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy. Admiral Barton declares that engineering in the navy has reached such a point that two things must be done, at least 20 officers of the grade of lieutenant commander and lieutenant should be or dered at once to shore duty connected With his bureau and fixed policy should be adopted of assigning permanently num- Der of officers to engineering duty only. Resumption of work by the bureaus school of instruction is urged.
 The bureau, he says, is standardizlng as ranidly as possible all details or ma chinery 50 as to simplify the supplying of vessels with materials.

 In Mr Padgetts judgment. the com mission will sumbit a preliminary report at the extra session next March. It will ] be devoted to administrative matters. Ex- perience has shown, according to Mir. Padgett, how incomplete are the examina- tions Of national banks. Frequently their purpose is not accomplished and 1t may be that a general law defining the scope of examinations will be recommended rather than leaving the matter to the discretion of the comptroller.
 The subject of appointment and exam nation of national bank examiners Is also likely 10 be dwelt upon. At present these examiners are appointed by tho comptroller largely through political in- fiuence. They receive fees varying with the number or importance of the banks examined. It will probably be urged that they pass formal examination and re- ceive q fixed salary.

 NAVY REORGANIZATION

also exercise the duties of chairman of that important committee.
 The President will make the navy the principal object of his endeavors during the last session of Congress. He fayors a general staff, similar to that in the army. and the criticisms of Commanders Sims and Keys are also believed to have taken root in the executive mind.
 The most progressive naval officers greatly fear that unless something Is ac- eomplished this winter the old bureau clique may continue to have full sway under Judge Taft by reason of the multi tudinous problems the new President will have before him for consideration.
 The President will make his principal fight on naval matters this year on four battleships. Two were authorized by the last bill and 1t is doubtful If that number will be exceeded the coming winter.

EASTERN FREIGHT RATES
 TWILL, BE SHARPLY RAISED

viewed, many commercial organizations haven taken determined stands against it. On the other hand. it is said to be the attitude of the railroads that un- less rates are increased wages must be reduced. and that the former step will work the least hardship. Any general cut in wages would likely bring on severe labor troubles, such as prevailed IA years ago, during the so-called Debs strike. There is no contention, however, that wages are too high, but with increased cost of transportation the railroads are under the necessity of securing greater revenue, either through higher freight rates or ty means of still further drastic economy

Sensational Scene.

It is stated tonight that Mme. Steinheil is definitely charged with eomplicity in the murder of her husband and Mime. Japy.
 In a. later examination before Magis- trate Leydett there was dramatic scene when, after Mme. Steinheil. having in sisted again and again that Wolff was the real assassin. her daughter threw herself on her knees before Mime. Stein- heil crying out:
 Mamma, mamma, confess all; implore you'
 The mother, in a burst of tears, re- sponded:
 Before my daughter, I swear I am in- nocent."
 The anti-Semitic Libre Parole charges Mme. Steinheil with having poisoned President Faure The newspaper recalls that on the day of the funeral a writer on the Libre Parole, who had seen the body, said: "All the skill of the embalm- CTS was unable to preserve the corpse from the dissolvent action of the subtle poison.
 The journal continues by charging that Chief of Detectives Hamard and Magis- trate Leydett knew that the arrest of Mime. Steinheil inevitably would lead to the raking up of the scandalous mystery of Faure's death, which, with difficulty, had been stifled for 10 years. and accord ingly did their best to hush up the pres ent inquiry.
 The newspaper concludes by saying that Faure was poisoned because he was op- posed to revision in the Dreyfus case.
