OF German free kindergarten. Here
she had her mind and knowledge con-
sderably broadened by contact with
the poor and immigrant classes. In
1893 she was chosen as training teach
er and superintendent of the Louis
vile free kindergarten. Here her work
was characterized by originality. and
she succeeded in upsetting the old
ideas Of kindergarten teaching, setting
it on new and much more scientific
basis. Her worth and originality were
soon realized. and her reputation as
an educator spread through the North.
She refused call after call to the larger
universities OF the country. Finally
there came a call to Columbia. with a
handsome salary and the promise OF
doctor of philosophy degree upon the
completion OF thesis. although she
held no college degree at all. This
call at first shared the fate OF the
others, but finally realizing that she

TO ATTEND ANNUAL BALL

Special to The Herald
VENICE, March 20.-The officers of
the Pathfinder fleet, which is to anchor
in Santa Monica bay Tuesday next,
have accepted the invitation of the
Ocean Park Country club to be guests
at the annual ball Wednesday evening

Sebree's fleet spent the day in Venice
and Ocean Park.
Thursday evening the jaclxies of the
fleet will give a grand minstrel per-
formanoe at the auditorium on Wind
ward pier for the benefit of the sailors
relief fund. The officers of the fleet
will occupy the auditorium boxes, and
beach society has undertaken to make
the event a financial and social tri-
umph.
Wednesday the officers of the fleet
will hold a tennis round robin on the
courts of the Country club. A number
of the officers are cracks at the nets,
and some exciting contests are anticir
pated. Invitations have also been sent
10 the Sutton sisters and other noted
Southern California players to measure
skill with the fleet officers.

RUFF PLEADS
THA T HIS BAIL
BE REDUCED
Prosecutor Instructed That He as an
Officer Should Render All Aid
to Bring Out
Facts
b. Associated Tress.

b. Associated iress,
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-A Abra :
ham Ruef, the former political boss of
San Francisco, indicted upon 116
charges of bribery, appeared before
the appellate court this morning ON a
writ of habeas corpus i'm the matter of
bail which aggregates $l,11500O. Ruef
contends that this sum is exorbitant
and unreasonable; that there are thir-
ty-seVen duplicate indictments against
him on which the bail is $370,000 of
which he should be relieved. and that
the bail on the remaining indictments
is excessive and should be reduced.
The court of appeals was asked for
and granted a writ for the purpose of
fixing the matter of bail. Ruef was
represented by his attorneys. Henry
Ach and Frank j. Murphy, and the
prosecution by Assistant District At
torney Francis j. Heney.
The latter presented an affidavit set
ting forth that Ruef was himself
wealthy; that he had wealthy code
PENDANTS, and that the assistant dis
trict attorney had reason to believe
that there was a conspiracy to get Ruef
out of the country.
Heney stated to the court that Ruef
would be convicted largely upon the
testimony of one witness. James l..
Gallagher, chairman of the finance
committee Of the boodling board of
supervisors who confessed to receiv-
ing the alleged bribe moneys from Ruef
and divided them among the other su-
perVisors: that he was prepared to
show that efforts had been made to
lIidnap Gallagher and get him out of
the country, and that the United Rail-
roads defendants had actually at
tempted to kidnap former Supervisor
Thomas Lonergan, who died recently,
the day before that witness testified in
the trial of Trey L. Ford.
The proceedings were short and to
the point. 1t was apparent that some
of the judges did not agree with He
ney's contention that the law did not
contemplate that a defendant was en-
titled to bail as a matter of right.
Judge Cooper presided and also dis
agreed with the views of the assistant
district attorney that the court OF ap-
peals was not in position to pass upon
the duplicate indictments. 1t held that
it would consider them and they were
a factor to be considered in the mat
ter of bail. Asked for a list of the du-
plicate indictments Heney said;
1--WE do not concede there are nay.
We do not intend to file any list of
any kind on behalf of the district at
torney's office"
"The district attorney is an officer
Of this court and should assist 1t, re-
piled Judge Cooper. Turning to Muir
phy. Ruef's associate counsel, the
judge Said:
"If the district attorney refuses TO
make out a list you may do so, and II
II is not contested we may consider
it to be a correct one
Heney then explained that he meant
no disrespect to the court, but 1t was
merely a question of law which caused
the district attorney to take that at
titude.

FLEET WILL
DOCK BEFORE
LONG TRIP
TO BE DIVIDED BETWEEN PA
CIFlC NAVY YARDS
Vessels VIII Be OverhauIed and Made
Fit for the Voyage Around
the World-Assigned
to Yards

When the great Atlantic fleet, for
which the whole Pacific coast is pre-
pairing a royal welcome, leaves for its
friendly visit to the Orient and its
world cruise it WILL in the judgment of
naval men, be a better fleet than when
it left Hampton Roads December 16
last.
This will be because the ships will be
physically the same after overhauling
at the navy yards and because the men
will be thoroughly seasoned and trained
by the long cruise around the horn and
their target practice at Magdalena bay.
That the whole cruise represents the
highest degree of military navigation
is also the judgment of those who are
in touch with the details.
According to the schedule for the fleet
after it reaches an American port ii
will successfully visit san Diego. Los
Angeles, Santa Barbara. Santa Cruz
and San Francisco. Its progress up the
coast will be one of pomp and triumph.
After the festivities have ended at
San Francisco it is understood that
the great fleet assembled there, which
will contain over forty warships of all
classes, will go into dock for an over
hauling preparatory to its transpacific
trip.
According to information brought to
this city from Magdalena the division
of the fleet after the San Francisco re-
view will he between the Mare Island
yard and the Puget sound yard. The
battleships that will so TO Mare island
will be:
Connecticut, Louisiana. Vermont, New
Jersey. Kansas, Georgia, Rhode Island
and Virginia.
In addition to these battleshps. the
torpedo flotilla, composed of the Trux-
tun, Whipple, Lawrence, Stewart, Hull
and Hopkins. will go to Mare island,
with the supply ships Glacier, Arethusa.
Panther and Yankton and the coalers
Brutus, Abareda, Ajax, Caesar, Nero
and Sterling.
All the above are members of the
Atlantic fleet.
Vessels of tho Pacific fleet going to
Mare island will be-
Maryland, West Virginia and the col
liers Alexander and Justin. 1t is likely
the Maryland and West Virginia will
dock at the Puget sound yard.
The vessels of the Atlantic fleet that
will go to Puget sound navy yard are:
Alabama, Illinois. Kearsarge, Ohio,
Missouri, Minnesota, Maine and Ken
lucky.
They will be accompanied by the sup
ply ship Culgoa.
OF the Pacific fleet the Colorado,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and the Wash
ington will go to Puget sound.
After docking it is expected the trans
pacific orders will be issued by the
navy department.

DENIAL OF ENGAGEMENT
is EXPECTED AT ROME
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ROME, March 2O.-The latest reports
here seem to foreshadow a denial that
an engagement exists between the duke
of Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elllins,
daughter of United States Senator s. 3.
Elkins of West Virginia.
King Victor Emmanuel was in con-
versation this morning with member
of his encourage regarding the reported
enga cement of the duke to Miss Elkins'
He neither confirmed nor denied the
rumors that the duke is at the present
time exchanging cipher cablegrams
with the king A significant fact has
come to light here through some per-
sonal correspondence. The Italian am
bassador at Washington, Baron Mayor
FDes Planches, writing from Florida in
the beginning of March to a friend in
Italy, said:
II am here on special mission
Shortly after this the baroness wrote
to friend here and made use of this
phrase: willy nilly, l have had to
come to Florida"
AS there is no political reason why
the italian ambassador and the ambas-
sador's wife should go to Florida, 1t is
argued that they were there in the mat
ter of the dukes engagement.
"The assertion that royal marriages
must take place in Italy before the
premier and the president of the sem
ate is not exactly correct. This applies
to such marriages as occur in Italy.
Should it prove true that the duke s
return to Rome at this time is for the
purpose of obtaining royal consent to
his marriage, some announcement on
the subject is likely to follow his ar
rival here. italian court etiquette pro-
yides that in the case of the marriage
of any member of the royal family, an
nouncement must be made several
weeks in advance of the event by the
prefect of the palace to the reigning
houses, the royal princes, members of
the diplomatic corps and high OFFICIALS
of state. The Louise of Savoy would
be represented on such an occasion by
one of the princes, possibly one OF the
brothers of the duke OF the Abruzzl,
If the marriage of the duke and Miss
Elkins should take place in the United
states and be legalized according to
the law of that country, the only for
mality necessary in Italy would be
the insertion in the books of records
containing the certificates of births.
deaths and marriages of members OF
the royal family, one of which is kept
i'm the general archives of the king
dom and another in the archives of
the senate.
Court etiquette also establishes that
cousins of the king shall be designated
as most serene highness princes of
the blood taking the name of Savoy
and their wives shall take the position
and titles of the husbands.
The Italian newspapers speak in the
most complimentary manner of the
duke . nd the young American lady
with whom his name is associated, de-
claring that an excellent impression
has been produced by the possible
entrance of Miss Elkins into the royal
