POLICE WAITING FOR
FATHER TO IDENTIFY
THE BATHTUB VICTIM
Meanwhile They Hold Up
Case Against Scheib, Ac-
cused Husband.

NEW YORK, June Until Connor
O'Grady, of Springfield, Mass, reaches
this city, late today, to identify the body
OF Mrs. Henry A. Scheib, found in a
Ibathtub at 5n East Seventy-eighth
street on Monday afternoon, as his
daughter, the police will withhold the
evidence they claim to have against
Scheib. Scheib was brought before JUS
tice Blanchard today on a writ of ha-
beas corpus.
His attorney, Alexander Carlin, al
legged that Mrs. Scheib either died a
natural death or committed suicide. The
police refused to show their hand, but
announced that If Scheib was dis
charged he would be rearrested on a
charge of murder.
The police say they have a complete
case against Scheib, who, under the
name of Hugh A Sherman, married
Elizabeth O'Grady in 1907 They have
been unable to learn why Scheib used
an assumed name.
Scheib has involved himself in such
a tangled network of contradictions
that no credence is being put by the
police in any of his statements. One
significant admission they have drawn
out of him. The letter. signed by
Anna" which purported to be written
IN April, was written by Scheib himself.
This letter indicated that the writer
knew that Mrs. Scheib was then living.
The woman must have died or been
killed, say physicians. several months
prior to the writing of this letter:
Scheib now says he wrote the letter
which contained many terms CT endear-
ment. to cure his wife of an alleged
habit of deserting him. Scheib says his
idea Nas to teach his wife that other
women appreciated him if she did not.
Scheibs wife has now been identlhed
as a former Springfield, Mass, girl
named O'Grady. sometimes called Lii
liam. Scheib has all along told the po-
lice that her name was Lillian Glover.
Another unusual circumstance Is that
Mrs. Scheib let her father Enaerstalo
she had married A man named Sherman,
and her fathers letters to her came ad-
dressed to Mrs. Sherman

TRIP
EAST TO PREVENT
SPEECH TO EDITORS
Declines Invitation of Ma
tional Body Meeting
In Detroit.

President Taft today declined an invi-
tation to address the National Editorial
Association, which meets in Detroit
July II to 90 Engagements in the East
make 1t impossible for him to accept.
The Atlantic Yacht Club. of Seagate,
n. Y, has elected the President an
honorary MEMBER and Mr.. Taft has
accepted. He was notified of his cleo
ton today by Secretary Harry A. Bull
lock, of the club.
If President Taft goes as far west
as Salt Lake City on the September
trip, he will go also TO Denver. He
has received Invitations from Governor
Shafroth, Mayor Speer, the Denver
Chamber of Commerce, and a number
of other organizations of the Colorado
capital. In the reply he said that II
possible he would extend his trip to that
city.
The latest candidate for the Presi-
Dental summer home is Biddeford, Me.
The President has just received an in
vitation from the people of that city
to come and abide with them during the
heated season.

Gar Will Visit the
United States Fleet

The Gear OF Russia will visit the
United States feet at Cronstadt. He
has never visited but one other foreign
feet That was the French. and his
visit to 1t in 1901 was the beginning
Of the Franco-Russian alliance.
For that reason the acts of EN-
peror Nicholas are very significant. He
himself proposed that he visit the fleet,
and 1t may be that there VIII be COM
menced an unusually amicable discus
sion of affairs that the countries are in
terested in. -
The status of American Jews in Rus
sia may be alluded to.
It had been planned that the sec
ond division Of the Atlantic feet, which
is about to visit Russia, should touch
at Revelle. The Car, through his en-
bassy here, intimated that he would
like to visit the fleet if 1t should touch
at Cronstadt. He also will entertain
the officers Of the fleet at St. Peters
burg.
The diversion of the fleet was there
fore ordered, and the State Department
was today notified of the plans of the
Czar.

Dairymen Want Taft
To Accompany Pauline

Not only does the National Dairymens
Association want Pauline Wayne, the
Presidents COW at its forthcoming ex-
hibit at Waterloo, Iowa, but 1t wants
the whole Presidential show. The as
sociation wants the President himself.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Taft promised
the dairymen that he would allow Pau
line to make this trip. She will be ex-
hibited at the show as the nrst White
House COW ever offered for blue rib
bon competition. But this did not seem
to satisfy the dairymen.
Today they sent an urgent invitation
to the President to come along with
Pauline. They promise him quite as
warm a welcome as they will give the
COW.
Unfortunately the Waterloo meeting
comes June 9, and this precludes the
President from accepting the offer. He
is compelled to be In the East at that
time. Anyway, he will send Pauline
along.

 REQUIRED BY THE LAW
Testimony Upon Which Mo torman Peterson Was Lodg-

Application to the clerk of the Superior court made by representative of the Farmer disclosed today that the record into the inquest the body of Mrs Jessca Saunders has not been filed within the period required by law, and is not in his possession

To Fill Jury Box In McNamara Trial
 Before Next Week
Especial from United Presso


 Los Angeles, Nov. 2-In the hope of qualifying Talesman Lorenzo Romans, challenged by the State because it is alleged he is insane, the defense in the McNamara case today produced witnesses who declared the juror was not only perfectly sane but one of the shrewdest real estate dealers in the city.
 The defense hoped to get Judge Bordwell to set aside the States chal- lenge thus compelling Attorney Fred ericks to waste peremptory chal- lenge. The defense argued that Ro- mans belief that the fund appropriat- ed by the State for use in investigat- ing the Times explosion was a cor ruption fund and his prejudice against William Mulholland, one of the States qualify him as he entertained no opin- ion regarding the destruction of the Times building.
 There are still three seats untitled in the jury box.
 The proceedings are dragging along slowly, but it is certain the box will be filled this week, when the exercis- ing of peremtory challenges will be begun.
 The State is now certain it will get possession of the Indiana evidence be- fore the trial actually begins. Dis- trict Attorney Fredericks considers success of his case, especially the bank books and cancelled checks. They show what Fredericks alleges is an absolute connection between the McNamara brothers and McManigal, and all the explosions.

ROOSEVELT HANDS TAFT
 ARBITRATION MEASURE
 A DEADLY BODY BLOW
Charges President With Being Blind in Not Seeing How Tmkeys Treaties With European Powers Are Kot Worth
 as Much as Single Gunboai

nave happened in Chino ard In tbs Mediterranean during tbz faI1 saonrt5x since the arbitration treaty was con sidered in the Senate. During tbes< months we have seen widespread re volt in China, with utter dfsor1aufza tion of the empire and we have seer war unexpectedly break out between turkey and Italy. In China, there has doubtless been much excuse fes the revolt because of tyranny, rnfs government, etc., and this fyrann and misgovernm ent have been great CT than in any really civilized r}atfon although the Chinese have an arrnf very much less efficient than that o1 any civilized power. The compJet< absence of militarfsm in China ana Ch1na's effort to rely purely on pacf- fc measures in dealing with a1s foreign powers, have not only caused 1t to lose various provinces to vari1n1 foreign powers within the past feU decades, but have not had the srn41I- est effect in saving 1t from tyranny. misleading and the most far-Feaehtpz economic misery at home. and, more over, have had the effect of derrfs5ng it of means of even keeping order within its own boundaries.
 Turkeys treaties with various European powers expIicjfy guarantee her integrity and yet all the treaties thus guaranteeing h~- d5dAAol hioiilrillOCEAtCHL dlE UOb WOEIA4 as much as a single gunboet of Ehs smallest size the minute that it be- comes worth while for any serfous opponent to attack her
 Tt would be not merely foo11sf but wicked for us, as nation, to agree to arbitrate any dispute that aTect9 our vital interest or our fndependence ar our honor, because such an agree ment would amount, on our part, fo a covenant to abandon our duty, t0 an agreement to surrender the rights of the American people about un~ known matters at unknown times In the future. Such an agreement would be wicked if kept and yet, to break it-as it undoubtedly would be broken if the occasion arose-would be only less shameful than keeping it.
 "s If, as people, we wisk to make genuine advance we should agree definitely to gubru5f to arbitration all disputes that do nos involve the vital interest, the inde pendence or jlonor Of ffe naftor anf we should, at tie same time, make provision which will tend to brfne about pacific solution of all dis putes not covered by the treaty.
 "On these two questions of duf3 and honor, the nation, if true to t. self, can never be guided by any out side body and can pay heed only so it's own conscience and it's own sense of right; to fail thus to be gufde1 would mean that 1t was recFeant fOt its duty not only to itself but to the world at large"
