REV LEW
AT NEW YORK

New York, Nov. with the broad
remnant Of the Secretary Of the Navy
broken out from her main truck the
trim little Maytlower, bearing George
Won L. Meyer, steamed up the Hudson
river today, through the broad wa
ter lane made by the greatest armada
America has gathered together
When the flagship Connecticut
flying the blue pennant OF Rear Ad'
miral Hugo Osterhaus, commando
of the 100 vessels of war, began fir
ing the secretary's salute of 10 guns
$4,000 sailors and marines manned
the rail and stood at attention as
the secretary's yacht nosed her way
through miles of battleships. armored
cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers
torpedo boats, submarines, collier:
and mine laying ships.
On the bridge of the Mayflower
Secretary Meyer stood uncovered as
he passed the sparkling ships.
The review was filed with the im-
pressive OF naval etiquette. The flag
of the secretary was broken out short
" before two o'clock when Secretary
Never boarded the Presidential
yacht. Then the dainty little yacht
moved up alongside the battleshir
Connecticut, flagship of the fleet
whose small guns Immediately began
barking in salute. On the flagship
a boatswain piped away the admiral's
steamer and Admiral Osterhaus
and his flag officers went over the side
and sped down 10 the yacht. From
the fagships of the other divisions
of the fleet came their commanders
and flag officers. On board the May
flower they paid their respects to
Secretary Meyer and then returned TO
their own ships.
Then the review started. Secretary
Meyer boarded his own launch and
returned Admiral Osterhaus' visit on
the Conpecticut, a file of officers and
marines manning the gangway as he
boarded the massive fighter.
AS soon as this formal visit was
ended, Secretary Meyer returned to
the Mayhower and started up stream,
passing between the mighty battle
ships on the New York side and tiny
torpedo boat destroyers and submar-
ines on the Jersey shore.

counts on more especially to stir up
enthusiasm at home. How keenly it
realizes it's danger is evident from
premier Gioletti's refusal to con-
woke parliament though under the
law. it should meet this week.
Incidentally Austrian officialdom
is much provoked by Italy's persistent
disregard Of the formers warning
to confine it's military and naval ac-
tivities to the African coast. Even
though it may in fact need these
warnings, its talk of ignoring them
is deemed insulting to Austria and
an explanation will probably be in

serious trouble is ahead for the 1tal-

THE PRESIDENT IN
A HOSTILE CAMP
Compellad to Listeu to Denuncia.
ton of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
SWAPS FISTS AT AUDIENCE:
Representative Littleton Arraigns the
Law and Demands its Repeal-Mr.
Taft Replies,

Morgantown, w. Va, Nov. L.
There was rejoicing in the Taft CAMP
today and the President was con.
graduated ever his victory" last
night; also there was no little indig,
nation over what the Taft supporters
declared was a deliberate batting
of the President by the Pittsburg
Chamber OF Commerce.
Before an audience that included
perhaps hundreds Of Pittsburg mil
lionaires" and at least $50 minor Of
ticials of the Steel trusts subsidiaries
the President was forced to sit while
he heard Representative Martin w.
Littleton (Dem. \. ", denounce the
Sherman antitrust law, and demand
its repeal. The Pittsburghers then
cheered Littleton to the echo as he
riddled the statute, declaring that it
was incapable Of enforcement.
1t had been long evening of tire
some speeches up to that time, and
when Littleton concluded with burst
of oratory amid a storm of cheers, the
President had but 10 minutes to the
time his train was scheduled to leave
Pittsburg, and for the first time since
he became President, Taft got mad
right out in public. Realizing that
he was being butchered 10 make a
Pittsburgh holiday, he went right
after Littleton's argument. Scarce
ly sound Of applause greeted him
as he arose. But with more vigor
than he had ever put into public ut
terance the President defended the
law. His face was tense, his huge
body swayed and he swung his fists
at the Pittsburghers and told them
they must obey the law.
Littleton had said that the law was
indefinite and the President, shaking
his big fist at tGc long rows o. busi-
ness men shouted That law has
been on the statute books twenty
years. 1t has been construed and
construed and construed by the Su-
prcme court. l have had, myself,
when on the bench, an opportunity
to consider its purpose and effect and
two decisions were rendered last
spring which are epoch making, and
which, in my judgment, give definite
meaning 10 that statute. You will
find, if you search them, that any
combination in restraint of trade
with the purpose and effect to con-
troll prices, stifle or suppress COM
petition, or establish monopoly, is
violation Of the statute. l say the
Supreme Court put into that the
PURPOSE, and l am talking to men
who understand business, and l am
talking to intelligent men, and l
know what l am talking about, when
I say that men know whether they in
tend to stifle competition. and men
know whether they intend to estab-
lish a monopoly"

NINE JURYMEH
IN THE BOX.
Darrow Expects to Have Seven
Eliminated by Peremptory
Challenges.
DIFFICULTY SECURING JURY.
Defense VIII Claim That The Explosion
Which Wrecked The Times Build-
Building Was caused by Gas.

Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. 1.-That
the defense in the Mcnamara case
will endeavor to prove great portion
OF It's contention that gas and not
dynamite destroyed the Los Angeles
Times building by the very forces
which are behind the prosecution,
was made certain by the Introduction
by Attorney Darrow Of copy Of the
Times issued on the morning follow
ing the disaster. He got it before
the court during the Interrogation of
Talesman Thomas Z. Preston, local
architect, against whom he later
lodged q challenge for bias which
Judge Bordwoll is expected to dispose
OF today.
Darrow had Preston identify
copy of the Times which bears in deep
black type the statement: Union
lists Bombs Wreck Times"
He then introduced it in evidence
over the protests Of the district attor-
ney, although he admitted he did not
see the object OF it,
L is now known that Darrow eX-
poets ID show that the Times for
weeks after the explosion, openly de-
clared the Times building was dcs-
troyed by dynamite and then when
the insurance companies refused 10
settle their fire insurance on the
grounds that an explosion and not a
fire wrecked the building, the owners
of the property changed their tac-
tics and asserted that the explosion
was only q small affair, dong. ac-
cording to 4 sworn statement by the
officers of the Times company in valid
ating their insurance claims, cnly
$4,000 damages. Darrow has these
affidavits and expects to confront the
states witnesses with .aen. ana de
mand that they explain the .iiscrep-
ancies He has introduced the copy
of the Times as preliminary founda-
tion for this.
Court opened at o'clock today
with new venirc OF forty men who
were examined by Judge Bordwell re-
garding their qualifications.
About half were excused for various
reasons.

District Attorney is striving hard 10
qualify him because he insisted he
could give Mcnamara a fair trial, al
though opposed to union principles
and certain that either members or
sympathizers of unions destroyed the
Times.
Nine men in the box have been
passed for cause and it is certain the
box will be filed this week and the
utilization OF pcremptory challenges
will begin. Attorney Darrow figures
that nearly every man in the box
will be excused on peremptory chal-
lenges and that the state will have
