A CENTENARIAN
DIES SMOKING

SAN. FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-"Give
me a cigarette God has been good
to me and allotted me a long life,
Let me die smoking
Putting at the cigarette and smiling
at the attendants, Abram Isaacs, aged
1O6, died today at a local hospital,
unable longer to bear the weight OF
his years.
Isaacs entered the hospital when
eighty-fve years old, paying $4,000 for
a life berth. He was an inveterate
smoker, and maintained that tobacco
was an aid to longevity. The physi
clans at the hospital never attempted
to curtail his supply.
Isaacs was veteran of the MeXi
can and Civil wars,

poenaed about one-han the female
population of DAILY City to his court

were placed in a cigar box and the

Mrs. Rose Bodien, Annie O'Toole, Mrs.
l.. C. Mundelius, Rebecca Varskey,
Mrs. W. J. White Mrs. Cecilia
Worthington and Mrs Gus Johnson"
None of the jurymen were chal-
lenged as they took their seats in a
corner of the court room. If the fate
of the nation depended upon their
verdict they could not have been
sworn in with greater dignity. Never
in the history of any legal proceeding
did jury take itself more seriously.
Where Was the Dog?
Emma Pinto was the first witness.
She reiterated all the charges sworn
to by her in the complaint. She even
went so far as to say that Mrs. Rudy
had laughed in glee after having
crashed the missile through the kitch-
en- window and had exclaimed; I'm
even with you now"
At the conclusion of Mrs. Pinto's
testimony the judge informed Mrs.
Rudy that she was at liberty to in
terrogate the witness. Mrs. Rudy
hesitated a moment, and then asked
Mrs. Pinto:

THE REPUBLICAN MANAGERS ARE
ENRAGED RATHER THAN SUBDUED

WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-Immedi-
ately after the return of President
Taft to the capital there is to be a
conference of men presently and pros
pectively active in the management Of
the national and congressional cam
paign committees over the preliminary
political work to be done this winter.
The note of despair sounded in the
Presidents speech before the Hamil-
ton Club the other day is not echoed
by the aggressive fighters in the party
and is far from being accepted as the
keynote of the approaching campaign.
On the contrary, a militant spirit is
being aroused, especially in the con-
gressional section of politicians, who
are preparing to make a struggle to
capture the next House of Represen-
tatives.
The ferocious drubbing given the
Republicans in the last congressional
elections has enraged rather than sub
dued the old warriors in the party;

NEW YORK, Nov. From the
bridge of the Mayfower, where Roose-
welt had stood to bid God-speed to the
departing, and joyous welcome to the
Homecoming battleship fleet that cir
cled the globe three years ago, Presi-
dent Taft today reviewed the most
notable assemblage of warships in the
history of the American navy.
There was not the thrill of possible
adventure attached to todays splendid
spectacle, as there was at the depar-
ture of the fleet on it's perilous journey
around the Horn and to unknown
dangers, but from the viewpoint of
fighting power, the number of craft
in line and spectacular setting, the re-
view presented marine picture of I'M
surpassed beauty and impressiveness.
In three long columns, stretching as
far as the eye could see up the Hudson
river, the grim, gray ships-ninety-
nine in all-had awaited the Presi-
dents coming. In his honor they were
dressed from stem to stern in flutter-
ing flags, as if attempting for this gala
occasion to conceal the muzzles of the
death-dealing guns. The gay bunting
lent color to the scene, but the mean,
ing of the duh gray hulls and the
polished rifles that protruded from the
turrent mouths could not be masked.
Twenty-Four BattIeshps.
There were twenty-four battleships
in the line, representing every type OF
that class of fighting vessel in the
navy, from the Indiana, Massachusetts
and Iowa, of Spanish war fame, down
to the last word in completed super

REVIEWS AMERICAS ARMADA

Hudson river, awaiting his inspection.
AS the little white Mayhower picked
her way in and out among the giant
craft of the battleship line the guns
of the fleet roared in a reverberating
chorus of salute. Accepting these
tributes as matter of course and dis
daining to reply to any of them, the
yacht, with the Presidents blue-crest-
ed flag at the main truck, sailed grace
fully along the seven-mile column of
fighting ships, turned at the end and
headed again down the river. Late
this afternoon the entire fleet, ninety
nine vessels in all, will get under way
and pass in review of the President
while the Mayfowre lies at anchor off
the Statue of Liberty.
President Taft planned to spend the
entire day upon the water, and not
once during his visit to the fleet was
he to touch Manhattan Island His
train arrived in Jersey City from
Washington shortly after Z o'clock,
and few minutes later he was being
transferred to the Mayfower. AS he
went aboard his flag was broken from
the masthead and the usual honors
were paid to him.
Party on Board Strictly Official.
AS a rule Mr.. Taft requests that all
ceremonies on the Mayfower be sus-
pended Todays events being purely
official, however, the ceremonials pre-
scribed in the navy regulations were
followed to the letter. The party
aboard the presidential yacht also
was strictly official. Secretary of the
Navy Meyer, the Presidents aid and

guests, including senators, representa-
tives and foreign military and nava

NEW SHRINE
OF PATRIOTISM

WASHINGTON, Nov, 3.-As a me-
mortal to President Abraham Lincoln
a huge bowlder is to be placed on
the parapet of Fort Stevens, where

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-In Daily
City, thriving little hamlet just over
the southern boundary of San Fran
cisco, Mrs. S. Rudy was tried yester-
day morning for disturbing the peace.
The evidence was heard in Justice
Ellis c. Johnsons court and twelve
women sat in the jury box. And so,
for the first time in the history Of
California, the fate of a woman ac-
cused of misdemeanor was left in
the hands of a dozen other women.

STORIES CONNECTED WITH BROKEN

Different accounts of the broken en-
gagement between Captain w. w.
Greene, commodore of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha fleet, and Miss Gertrude Mac
farlane, belle San Francisco and
Honolulu society, have appeared in
the local papers. The following addi-
tional stories connected with the in

Back of the disrupted engagement

Captain Verfies Rumors.
Captain Greene was the first of the
twain to state that there would be no
marriage. There had leen rumors pre-
viously that the match was off, caus-
cd by the fact that the wedding day
had been postponed. At that time the
excuse given by the sea captain was
that he could not obtain leave of alb

TAFT ON TOUR OUTFLANKED
DEMOCRATS AND INSURGENTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. 49, With
President Taft back on the Atlantic
coast after 15,OOO-mile Swing
around the circle" his friends are
naturally trying to sum up the polit-
ical benefits he derived from the trip.
The prevailing view is that he is
stronger with the people of the coun-
try than he was when he started on
his tour.
His denomination was not in doubt
when this trip was planned. 1t was
undertaken with the hope and expec-
tation that it might lead to his re-
election. The President has, of
course, realized since the elections
of last year that the drift has been
away from the Republican party.
Moreover, he realized that with the
party divided into wo factions it was
necessary for him to do what he
could toward restoring harmony.
The keynote of the speechmaking
of the President on this long trip was
that he was not to be regarded as p
standpatter or an insurgent. He on
deavored to convince the people wher-
ever he went that he is steering a
course between the conservative and
the insurgents.

May Press These Subjects.
Public men who have made a some
what careful study of the speeches
made on the trip are now convinced
that Mr.. Taft intends to concentrate
his energies on the following sub
jects:
l.. The enforcement of the Sher
man antitrust law without fear Of
favor.
2. A revision of the most obnox
ious schedules of the Aldrich-Paynt
tariff law on information gathered by
the tariff board.
8. International arbitration.

out to prevent the denomination o.

Democrats who are determined to de

1t became known among the friends
of Mrs. Osbourne' and the Stevensons
that the widow of the novelist was at
tempting to interfere with the work
of her daughter-in-law, and many
friends came to the front for Mrs Os-
bourne with quantities of matter re-
lating to Stevenson's interesting life
in California. AS a consequence Of
the threatening lawsuit, Mrs. O5-
bourne has secured additional mater
ial for her volume, which will make
it more interesting and complete than
it had been when first prepared.
Landladys Memories.
Prominent in the volume Mrs. Os-
bourne has compiled are the recol-
lections of Stevenson that Mrs. Car
son, his Bush street landlady has
cherished for the thirty odd years that
have elapsed since he lived under her
roof. In his letters already published
Stevenson referred frequently to Mrs.
Carson, and one of the most sympa-
thetic passages in all his correspond
ence is his account of the serious ill
ness. of Mrs. Carson's young son.
! Mrs. Osbourne is loath to think
that the action of Mrs. Stevenson in
jeopardizing the success of her book
was due to animus on the part of her
mother-in-law. Possibly Mrs. Steven
son felt that the publication of these
fresh letters would be detrimental 20

Louis Stevenson already published,

They thought it would be the same
old story over again-the trusts would
succeed in convincing the administra-
ton that it would be unwise to press
for enforcement of the Sherman law
in the face of a presidential election.
The Presidents friends are quite GER
tain that his attitude on the trust
question has already strengthened
him with the people, and they believe
it will strengthen him still more dur
ing the months that are to intervene
before the nominating convention
and the election.
Big business is much put out over
the attitude of the President 1t is
saying harsh things about him. But,
apparently, there is nothing it can do
except talk 1t does not want La
Toilette nominated by the Republi-
cans, and it is afraid to make an
open movement in the interest of a
Democratic candidate, because it re-
allies that such a movement would
only add strength to the candidacy of
some radical like Governor Wilson of
New Jersey.
Sincerity of the President.
When the President started on his
trip he fully realized that large mum
bers of voters in the west did not
indorse his vetoes of the tariff bills
passed at the recent special session
of Congress.
Much of his speechmaking was de
voted to an effort to justify those
vetoes. Persons who followed the de
velopments of the tour say that al
though he probably did not succeed
in convincing all Republicans in the
west that he did the right thing in
vetoing these bills, he. did convince
them that he is earnestly in favor 81
tariff revision based on information
supplied by his tariff board.
He has come back from his triT
pledged to do his utmost to obtair
from Congress at the coming session
revision of several of the existing
schedules. His friends say that if HI
shall succeed with this tariff venture
he will enter the national convention
and the campaign next year a stronl
candidate.

The prevailing view now is that tn,
Senate will not dare withhold ratifi
