Kinzer.

Rev. DIR. John ID. Kinzer, a retired
member of the Maryland Annual Con-
ference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, died Tuesday morning at /
o'clock, at the home OF his sister, Miss
Annie Kinzer, 1S49 West Mulberry
street, Baltimore. Death was due to
general debility. He suffered a stroke
OF paralysis over one year ago. His
last charge was at Union Bridge, Nd,
and while there his health began to
fail, and be retired and went to live
with his daughter, Mrs. w. B. Hoddi-
mott, at SparrOWs Point
About three weeks ago he went to
Baltimore On visit to his sister, and
while there was taken ill. He had
been confined to his bed for about one
week. DR.. F.. p. Fenby was the at
tending physician.
Rev. DIR Kinzer was born in Fred
erick county in 1841 and received his
first desire for the ministry as the
result of the influence welded over
him by one of his aunts, who was a
very devout woman. After attending
the public schools in his native coun-
ty he entered the private school of
Rev. DR. August Weber, at Lutherville,
where he was a schoolmate of Con-
gressman j. Fred. @. Talbot. Both
were graduated in 1863. DIR. Kinzer
entered the conference that year.
Since then he had been pastor or as
sociate on the following charges: Bal
timore county circuit, Frederick coun-
ty, Snow Hill, Nd. Kent county, Mont
gomery, Ala; Williamsport, Salisbury,
Centreville, West Baltimore Church,
East Baltimore Station, Mount Leban-
on and Union Bridge.
He served the Methodist Protestant
Church in this city for about five or
six years, and was one of the most
popular pastors the church has had.
DR.. Kinzer had the distinction of
being the first minister in the Mary
land Conference to hold the position
of president for five successive years.
Since that time several ministers have
held it for the same period, but never
longer. He entered the ministry in
the days when it was customary for
young ministers to continue their
studies under an older man. While
serving his first charge on the New
market Circuit he studied under Rev.
David Wilson.

PLANS. NEARLY MADE
FOR BIG NAVAL REVIEW
Fleet at New York Will Be
Largest Ever Assembled
in American Waters.

Plans for the great naval review at
New York October II and November 1
have advanced well toward completion as
the result of a long conference between
Secretary Meyer and Rear Admiral Oster-
haus, commander of the Atlantic fleet
The admiral had some ideas Of his own
which led to a modification of the tenta-
tive plans that had been prepared before
his arrival The great fleet, which will
be the largest ever assembled in Ameri-
can waters, will be in three columns in
the Hudson river. and will extend from a
point opposite 57th street, on the New
York side, to the mouth of Spuyten Duy-
vii creek, a distance of eight miles. Near
est the New York side will lie a column
formed of the big dreadnOughts, the bat
tleships of less size, the armored and pro-
tected cruisers and the colliers.
Across on the west side of the river
will be anchored the destroyers and the
various auxiliaries. A third column. ly
boats. The submarines will lie close to
the battleships each of which acts as
a mother ship to several submarines.
Taft May Not Go.
If the President is unable to attend. as
seems probable, Secretary Meyer will
conduct the review alone from the May
flower, although he will have with him
number of invited guests, and some of
these, with the press representatives and
artists, will be accommodated on board
the Dolphin.
The Secretary has changed the original
plans so as to provide now for an in
spection of the fleet on the first day.
On that occasion, while the ships lie at
anchor in columns, the Secretary, on the
Mayfiower. will sail through the fleet,
stopping to visit personally the flagship
of eacn OF ..;a divisions
On the second day, November /, the
Mayfower will anchor at the lower end
of the columns and the entire fleet will
pass in review before the Secretary and
proceed straight through the Narrows to
the sea. 1t has not yet been definitely
settled where the fleet is to go, but it is
believed that the reserve ships will pro-
ceed to their home navy yards. while the

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, October 17.That

taken in checking artificial business
growth without interfering with normal,

Insistent demand will be made upon
President Taft that he appoint as Justice

justice, and the record of every man
mentioned for the place will be closely

taken for granted the President has any

DEMOCRATS TO MEET
AND PAN CONVENTION
Members of National Commit
tee Will Gather in Wash
ington January 8

The formal call just issued for meet
ing of the democratic national committee
here January S to fix time and place
for holding the democratic national con-
vention-a date almost a month later
than that fixed for the meeting of the
republican national committee-means
that as usual, the republican national
convention will precede the democratic
convention. Members of the republican
national committee who have been ex-
changing views as to the time for the
convention say that 1t will undoubtedly
be called for the latter part Of June.
Chicago is about the only city that is
So far considered by the members of the
republican committee. There will be a
spirited contest over the designation of a
place for holding the democratic conven-
ton. This contest is now on.
Baltimore Strong Bidder.
The city of Baltimore is making a
vigorous effort to obtain from members
of the national committee pledges to vote
to take the convention to that city. Mem
bers of the. Baltimore committee that is
conducting the campaign assert that
enough pledges to send the convention to
Baltimore have already been obtained
The probab bility is, it is asserted by
some, that the Baltimore people are over
'ly optimistic. Chicago is much talked of
as the convention city. Kansas City and
St Louis are out after it. and St. Paul
intends to extend an invitation.
Some of the members of the demo-
cratic national committee who two or
three months ago were disposed to
vote for Baltimore, have, it is reported,
changed their minds. They are said to
have been impressed with the point
raised by some of the western MEM
bers of the committee that if the con-
vention should be held in an eastern
city and should nominate reactionary
candidate for President the party
would go into the campaign greatly
handicapped.
So far the candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination have taken no part
in the preliminary fight over the Sc
lection of a convention city. Friends
of Gov. Woodrow Wilson say they have
reason to believe that he would prefer
to see the convention go west.
Direct Vote an Issue.
The democratic national committee
at it's January meeting, like the re-
publican committee at it's meeting
month earlier, will have to deal with
the question as to whether a resolution
shall be passed instructing state COM
mittees to provide for direct vote for
delegates to the convention. The Pro-
gressive Democratic League, organized
about the time the recent session of
Congress ended, will ask the commit
tee to make such recommendation to

Full Box Probable Within a
Month in Mcnamara Case.
WAY CLEARED BY NELSON
Talesmen, Profting by First Jurors
Examination, Answer Readily.
HAND OF DEFENSE IS SHOWN
Will Attempt to Prove That. Los
Angeles Times Building Was
Blown Up by Gas.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. October IL
Speedy completion of the jury-that is,
within month or little more-was the
outlook when the Mcnamara trial was
resumed today. Estimates that the jury
room would remain untitled until the 18th
of December or perhaps until Christmas
were scaled down to Thanksgiving or
December l. and predictions that the trial
would not end before May 1 were abbre-
Waited correspondingly.
The examination of Talesman z. T.
Nelson has cleared the atmosphere, it
was agreed, by defining many issues in
volved in the effort to determine whether
James b. Mcnamara is guilty of causing
the death of Charles ]. Hagerty in the
Los Angeles Times explosion and fire.
Points Made Certain.
Among the points made certain by Mel
sons examination are these:
Any talesman who believes the Times
building was blown up by gas believes
Mcnamara innocent, in the opinion of
the defense This position was taken by
Attorney Clarence S. Darrow, chief of
counsel for the defense, and it is noted
by counsel for the state for future use,
in the belief that it can be made service
able to them in the examination of tales
men whom the state believes to be un-
desirable.
The defense may offer an alibi for Nc
Namara or may rest solely upon the gas
explosion theory, in support of which it
has gone as far as Europe for expert
evidence.
Maybe We can prove an alibi; maybe
We can't; maybe We shall not try to
prove one was Mr.. Darrow's declaration
in the court on this point. but he insisted
on his position regarding the source of
the explosion.
Furthermore, an opinion rendered con-
corning one juror, would not apply neces-
sArily to the next one, the courts de-
cis1On resting, under the law, upon his
belief in the fitness in the individual
juror as shown by his replies to questions
from opposing counsel and from the
court.
Direct Answers Given.
The effect of Nelson's long examina-
ton was perceptible yesterday and today
in the terse replies of talesmen who
came after him.
Yes and mo" were the answers,
there being an evident understanding OF
what the examining counsel was trying
to learn and a willingness to help him
find out.

of the defense when Attor-
