Monterey May 1.-The Atlantic day The residents Of Monterey and Pacific Grove and all other settlements near this vicinity made the occasion of their arrival a holiday. Through out the day the streets and decks of the battleships were thronged with visitors. A gale which swept away the heavy clouds at the anchoring hour and transformed the usually placid waters of the bay into choppy sea. did not deter hundreds upon hundreds who desired to see the ships at close range.
 A great many entertainments ashore both for men and officers marked the first day of the battleships' stay and the visit of the squadrons promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable one.
 New Orders were issued today GOV ering the entry of the fleet through the Golden Gate into San Francisco bay on Wednesday next It is now ordered that all the vessels of the Pacific fleet shall join the Atlantic battleships out side the Golden Gate and steam with them through the harbok entrance to the anchorage in the bay, where the review on May will be held.
 Practically the entire fighting force of the navy, with the exception of d few newly commissioned ships in the cast and a few gunboats in the Phil ippine waters will be in the great col umn. FOrty-siX vessels will be in line. The variety of fighting craft will range from the massive 16,000-ton Connecti- cut down to the little destroyer Fox of only 154 tons. Every class of vessel in the navy save the obsolete monitors will be represented in the parade.
 Rear Admiral Evans will be either on the bridge of the Connecticut or in an emergency cabin, where he will command full view of the fleet in entering San Francisco bay. Strict or ders for a fair wa.' for the host of naval vessels has been issued by the department of commerce and labor at Washington. and the scores of excur- sion steamers that take the crowds out to Angel Island beyond to view the spectacle will be under close fed eral supervision. Revenue cutters and naval launches will patrol the pathway and keep the excursion and pleasure craft ont of danger.
 The hour of rendezvous outside the Golden Gate-probably at San Fran cisco lightship-has been fixed at 9 a. m. Wednesday, May 6. Three hours later or as near noon as calculations by the navigators can compute. the broad white bows of the Connecticut will appear within the gateway. The flagship will be followed by fifteen other veterans of the South American cruise. by two additional battleships acquired outside the harbor entrance, the Nebraska and Wisconsin. making eighteen battleships in all. the largest number ever brought into one com mand. Next will come two divisions of armored cruisers of the West Nir- gfnia type-13.000 and 140O0- -tonned

Joe is changed man since the un-

was the booze which impelied him to
his murderous attack. and while he will
not say much. he gives the impression
that he is sorry for what he has done.
His skull, which was fractured, is
still giving him considerable trouble
and is supurating to an extent that
indicated that-it is not healing as read

As soon as he got to Crown Point
he saw a doctor and had the wound
dressed again. He was unable to fur

Handling the Enormous
Crowd in Steel City Next
Saturday Night.

RISE TO OCCASION
One of the Biggest Demonstrations
in the National Campaign Is
Planned on Behalf of Republican
Candidate for President, Senator
Beveridge and James Watson.

On next Saturday the day of the
great Taft meeting in Gary it is ex-
pected by the republican leaders of
the city that there Will be at least
FIVE thousand visitors in the city at
that time. To add to their convictions
that there will be an enormous crowd
Senator Bowser of Chestertown re-
ported last night that there would be
q special train run on the Lake Shore
and that his home city would send
down seven hundred people at least
He also stated that several hundred
people Will come from as far east as
Michigan City. ''Laporte," said Mr.
Bowser, will send down four or five
hundred people"
All along the line east of Gary special
trains, are being arranged for on the
Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend line
for every little Hamlet and cross roads
within thirty miles of Gary In towns
but few miles away it is planned to
have hay rack lines to and from Gary.
The Pennsylvania viii run in a special
train from Valparaiso and Hobart.
Sentiment is Growing
Such is the sentiment in the east
of Gary and in Hammond, East Chi
cago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, 1t
seems to be just as strong If not
stronger special train viii follow
that of Mr.. Taft's from Hammond to
Gary in which there will be ten coaches
and probably a thousand people An
immense crowd is also expected from
Crown Point, Lowell and all through
the south.
With five thousand people in the
city on Saturday therefore and sew
eral thousand of its own, the PROPOSE
tion confronts the republicans of how
they can accommodate the mass of
humanity who will want to hear the
candidate for president. Arrangements
have been made for an overflow meet
ing to be held in the Binzenhof hall
and even this might not accommodate
all of the crowds. 1t appears now
however. a s If it would be made to do
as Mr.. Taft has refused to speak any
more in the open air because OF the
