WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 49,
Mrs. Laura Schcnk, accused of tho
attempt to poison her millionaire
husband, John o. Schenk, collaps-
ed in court here today. The trial
was stopped and the defendant
taken TO room in the jaSs where
she was placed in the care of phy-
.sicians.
AS big crowds as have ever at
tended the trial of Mrs. Laura
f. Schenk for the attempted pois-
cning of her millionaire husband,
John o. Schenk, were present to-
day when the testimony in the
case resumed.
Still unsmiling, but betraying
70 evidence that disclosures OF
her alleged infidelities and
amours with men other than her
husband, had seriously affected
her self-possession, Mrs. Schenk
came into court and from the mo-
ment the first witness took the
MdS dll .
Given Lead Poisin.
DIR. j. Edward Burns, toxicof-
ogist and medical specialist, who
was called into consultation when
Schenk's illness had become grave
was the first witness of the day.
Under cross-examination, DIR.
Burns testified that up to Oct
20, Schenk's symptoms resembled
malarial fever but on that day
it became evident that lead pois-
oning was the cause of the mill
lionaire's sickness. DR.. Burns
said subsequent events satisfied
him that at no time had SchenK
suffered from malarial fever and
that administration of heavy dos
es of lead poisoning were the real
cause of his ailment.
Women Barred.
At the conclusion of DIR. Acker-
mans testimony Judge Jordan,
who had been annoyed by the
whispers and giggles of the women
attending the trial, barred them
from the court room.
"The evidence in this case" he
said, tends to corrupt the morals
of these women who are in con-
stant attendance. They come here
and listen to the evidence and
then go home and spend their
time discussing 1t. That is not
right. They must be excluded

AT a high rate of speed Ely

of the ships in the harbor. Just
as his machine neared the cruiser
Pennsylvania, Ely slowed down,
lowered for a moment and then
settled down on the deck of the
vessel as easily as a bird. He
stopped with 20 feet to spare from
the edge of the platform built to
receive his craft.
The bay was crowded with
boats watching for Ely, ready to
aid him in case of accident.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan IS.
If war between the United
States and Japan were declared
tomorrow, the wonderful trip OF
the Oregon from Puget Sound to
Key West between March and
June 4, 1898, around Cape Horn
would have to be reversely dupli-
Gated by EVERY battleship of the
American navy before they could
get to the scene of action.
The Pacific ocean, whose winds
bear all the rumblings and grum-
blings and threats of conflict, to-
day floats not one first-class Am
erican battleship. A bare half
dozen armored cruisers are at
San Francisco and another arm
ored cruiser is at Manila.
Here is the situation of the
American navy today.
After a nice pleasure-hunting
jaunt to European ports, a big
American fleet is now headed for
Guantanamo bay, Cuba, a navy
yard, which by the way, has been
of late neglected by the govern
ment, although it is the ideal
West Indies location for a naval
base.
Atlantic Has All.
The fleet on the Atlantic In
cludes all of the battleships or
the United States navy, now In
commission, the Connecticut, Del
aware, Michigan, North Dakota,
Louisiana, Kansas. New Hamp-
shire, Minnesota, Idaho, Mississip-
pi, Vermont, Georgia, Nebraska,
Rhode Island, South Carolina and
Virginia-the backbone of the
navy.
Next in Importance in fight
ing way come the armored cruis-
ers. Four of them-Tennessee,
Montana, Washington and North
Carolina-are riding on Atlantic
waters: six West Virginia, Mary
land, South Dakota, California,
Colorado and Pennsylvania, are
stationed at San Francisco; one,
the New York. is at Manilf.
Ten battleships, including the
Alabama, Ohio, New Jersey, Mis-
souri, Kearsarge, Kentucky, Maine
and the almost worthless Iowa,
Massachusetts, and Indiana, are
rot now in commission. They are
all on the Atlantic seabo-d.
OF the armored cruisers out of
commission, the Charleston, Mil
waukee, St. Louis and the old bat
t1eship Oregon, now practically
worthless for real war, are at
the Bremerton navy yards.
All the rest of the armored
cruisers, not in commission,
Brooklyn, Baltimore, Columbia,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Olympia
and San Francisco, are resting
their weary bones of steel in At
iantic navy yards.
Only battleships and armored
cruisers are here listed, for in any
war they would bear the brunt
OF the fighting; upon them in
large measure will depend wheth-
er the American flag shall con-
tinue to float over the Pacific un-
defeated and unafraid.
