milya, charged in a warrant with the
murder of Policeman arthur Bison
nette and who is the center Of a police
investigation which hints at murder
by poison of several others, is In a
serious condition at the county jail hos

renee Of the spells which the woman
has undergone since she Is said to
have attempted to end her life with
poison at her home last Saturday have
left her in a very weak condition.
The physician attributes the attacks
to the effects of the poison which the
police say she took Saturday. Fear

Churchill Defends the Brit
ish Navy.

London, Nov. 10.-In his first speech
since becoming first lord Of the adj
miralty, Winston Churchill defended
the big navy of Great Britain and used
arguments to allay the mistrust felt
for it by the people resulting from his
own u~tterances when home secretary.
Ships of every type when compared
with corresponding vessels of other
fleets were certain to be found supe
rior, and the preponderance of the
British navy was unmistakable.
1--WE must keep it strong" said Mr.
Churchill. mot only strong, but also
ready-instantly ready-to put forth
Its greatest strength TO the best ad.
vantage. Nevertheless, speaking with
the reserve necessary for a LEI min
lister. l do not know any reason why
the maintenance OF the full strength
of the navy with immediate readiness
Is not to be achieved while fulfilling
the expectations recently expressed by
Reginald McKenna formerly first lord
of the admiralty that the coming estt-
mates would be somewhat reduced
from the abnormal level at which they
now stand provided the national secur
ity is not in the slightest degree COM
promised by such a reduction which
on every ground Is desirable. 1t would
be futile affectation to pretend that
the sudden and rapid growth Of the
German navy is not the main factor
of our determination both for expendi
ture and new construction.
.It would further be most foolish to
deny the blunt truth that the naval
competition of the two mighty empires
lies at the root and forms the back
ground of almost every difficulty
which has baffled repeated earnest eff
forts to promote a really friendly feel
ing between the two countries"
Mr.. Churchill disavewed the suppo-
sition that whatever blame in this re
gard was all Germany's, but empha-
sized the fact that naval supremacy
was for Great Britain the whole foun-
dalton of her existence and freedom
of life. He paid tribute to the manner
In which Germany hitherto had strict
ly adhered to the declarations of her
ministers and had not exceeded her
published program.
"Such Is the state of affairs of the
world today" said Mr.. Churchill, that
Germany's continued adherence to the
program without increase would be a
great and sensible relief to Europe.

COWART STILL WANTS
 A FRISCO EXHIBIT
Says He Will Make Personal Visit to California if
 Necessary

That he would personally visit San Francisco and try to arrange for an ex- hibit from Birmingham and Alabama to the Panama exposition in that city was the statement of Lee Cowart, commis- sioner of immigration, here yesterday. The exposition at San Francisco will be held in 1915 when the canal is opened. A bill was introduced in the recent legisla- ture to provide for commission to inves- tigate the feasibility of this state main taining an exhibit.
 The bill failed. However, Commissioner Cowart said he had an expense account In his department and he would devote a portion of that to the furtherance of what he considers a great.chance for this state to be widely advertised.
 'I will go to the Pacific coast perhaps this summer he said. ''I believe that this state should have a chance there. If I can influence the governor to agree to it I will ask that he make it a special point to recommend the exhibit to the next legislature or an extra session that may develop.
 I believe Alabama will lose a fine chance if this task is not taken up and carried to successful conclusion.
