To PASS
UNDER EYE Of
THE president
IN READINESS FOR
THE GREATEST NAVAL DIS
PLAY EVER ATTEMPTED IN
THE UNITED STATES-MEYER
TO REVIEW THE FLEET TODAY
AND PRESIDENT TAFT ON
THURSDAY.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 31.-The smell of
soap and metal polish hung over war
ships anchored in the lower Hudson
today. Tomorrow the ships will pass
under the eye of Navy Secretary
Meyer and on the following day Presi-
dent Taft will review the greatest
naval display ever attempted in these
waters.
In the original program this was the
day scheduled for the review by Sec
retary Meyer, which was to include
the naval display. The unexpected
coming of President Taft on Thursday
has moved the whole program forward
one day and probably has been the
means of adding to tomorrow's display
the newest of the battleships, the
Florida. Work on the new dread
nought has been pushed ever since the
date of the review was fixed, but even
yesterday when she steamed to her
berth in the Hudson fr0m the navy
yard there was some doubt of her
ability to join the column tomorrow.
Work on her completion was still in
progress today, but after the test she
received yesterday her officers were
confident she could take care of her
self hereafter, even though several
portions OF her machinery remained
untested.
Secretary Meyer is in town. Naval
men say Admiral Dewey's intention
not to attend the demonstration was
prompted mainly by his desire not to
embarrass Rear Admiral Oslerhaus.
commander of the feet, whom he out
ranks.
Officers of the fleet were inclined
to assign to this reason rather than
to believe that Admiral Dewey was
not coming on account Of his age.

testimony in the trial of Mrs. Zee
Runge McRee, charged with the mur-
der of Allan Garland today to the
effect that several saw the defendant
and Garland together alone, one wit
ness saying he saw them holding
hands and another said that on one oc~
casion the defendant rested her arm
or elbow on Garland's shoulder.
The prosecution, ii is said by this
testimony, sought to show the defen-
dant had no reason to fear the man
she killed was to do her bodily harm
because of the apparent good friend
ship existing between them.
Edmond Sylvester, a Frenchman,
testified after he saw Mrs. McRee's
arm on Gsrland's. shoulder he did not
think her character was so good. David
Conklin testified he saw Garland and
the defendant going to and from the
McRee farm frequently and said he
saw them meet once.

TO PROBE THE
BOXER FUNDS
CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY INTO
PAYMENT OF THE HALF GEN.
TURY OLD WARD CLAIM OF
$4,000.
By Associated Press,

Washington, Oct. 31.-A congress-
ional probe into the United States gov
ernment's action in paying out of the
Chinese Boxer indemnity funds $685.
600 on the half century old claim pre-
sented by the heirs of General F. T.
Ward was renewed here today. The
house subcommittee on state depart
ment expenditures gave a hearing to
General John w. Foster, former sec
retary of state, to whom as attorney
the Ward money was paid. He was
summoned to give a detailed account
Of the entire proceedings. The hear
ing was the first session of a commit
tee of either house in Washington
since congress adjourned in August.
1t was contended that the Ward
payments were irregular because the
claim had no connection with the
Boxer trouble and because it had been
reported that the claim had already
been paid. Representatives Hamlin,
Of Missouri, chairman, and Dent. of
Alabama, are present. Representative
Davis, of Minnesota, the only Repub-
ucan member of the ub-committee,
was out of town.

SPIRITED COMMERCIAL RIVALRY
BETWEEN GALVESTON AND
NEW ORLEANS is AGAIN RE-
ELECTED BY THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION sUs-
PENDING RATES FORCED BY
TEXAS r. r. COMMISSION.
BY Associated Presal.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Spirited COM
mercial rivalry between the cities of
New Orleans and Galveston was re-
f1ected today again when the inter-
state commerce commission suspended
proposed tariffs filed by the South
western lines, making advances in the
freight rates on cotton linters. The
tariffs were to have become effective
on November 5, but were suspended
until March 81, 1912, practically the
end of the cotton year.
The action of the commission accen-
tuates the conflict of regulatory au
thority which in numerous instances
has arisen between the federal and
state commissions.
According to information received
recently by the interstate commerce
commission, a vigorous effort was be-
ing made to divert cotton export traffic
originating at Texas and Arkansas
points from New Orleans to Calves
ton.6 The railorad commission of
Texas is said to have notified railways
operating in Texas that they must
make lower rates on cotton from
Texas points to Galveston or suffer a
reduction in their general intra-state
rates.
In practical compliance with. this
admonition many of the lines operat-
ing in Texas filed with the interstate
commerce commission tariffs cancel
ling their through rates from Texas
points to New Orleans and thus left
in effect combinations of the local
rates, which are much higher than the
through rates. These are the tariffs
that the interstate commerce commits
sicn has. suspended pending an in
quiry into their propriety.
The tariffs already suspended, and
such others as may be filed will he
Fuspended. affect, not only the origin
ating cGrriers, but practically all of
the rail lines and steamship lines
operating from the south to the north
and east.
A complaint from New Orleans's
board of trade is pending before the
interstate commerce commission IN
which an attack is made upon prevI-
Gus advances In rates made by lines
operating in Texas, Arkansas and
Oklahoma.
The whole question will be fought
out before the commission in the near
future. it will then be determined so
far as the interstate commerce COM
mission is concerned, whether inter
state traffic lawfully may be interfer-
ed with by a railroad commission, in
according to the shippers of its state.

given to shippers or cities in another
