DAVIDSON AT BAR TODAY
"Red Phil" Will Plead to In
dictment for ZeIig's Murder.
BRAVAD0 HAS VANISHED
Prisoner Sobs in Cell Most Of
Time-Confession Expected
at Any Moment.

Red PHIL Davidson, slayer OF Big
Jack" ZeIig, was indicted for murder by
the grand jury yesterday. To-day he will
be arraigned before Judge Swami in Part
I of General Sessions to plead to the in
dictment.
Davidson, who has partaken only spar
ingly OF food since his arrest last Satur-
day night. spent the better part OF yes
terday in tears I'm his cell. His wife WIS.,
tied him in the Tombs. and their CONVEX
sation was interladen with the prisoner s
sobs. The spirit of bravado has van
ished, and with the electric chair staring
him In the face the white SLAYER who sent
Zelig the way of other gang leaders has
become a craven.
Assistant District Attorney Minton, who
has charge OF the case. is investigating
the story that Davidson was only the
tool of men who wanted to put Zelig out
OF the way. Mr. Minton believes that II
Davidson was ordered to slay Zelig he
soon will break down and confess. The
District Attorneys Office inclines to the
theory that Davidson was lying when
he declared he was alone In the murder
and shot the gang leader because Zelig
kept SIS of his money.
Davidson has told many lies. Remem-
bering this, and with the maxim In mind.
"a man who lies in one particular may
lie in ALL" Mr.. Minton is probing to the
bottom the story that Davidson was only
a hired assassin.
Mr.. Minton is now looking for the
names of the underworld associates OF
former member OF the force who worked
in a Tenderloin dive before he Joined the
what truth there Is in reports that the
ex-poiceman, who was a known enemy
OF Zelig. was cognizant of the murder.
Davidson has not as yet sought to OBJ
tain a lawyer, but 1t is probable that
counsel will be assigned him when he
appears for pleading in Judge Swami $
court this morning.
LAWYERS around the Criminal Court
building who are familiar with the case
say that Davidson's only defence would
be emotional insanity. Self-defence, they
point out, is out OF the question, as he
shot the gang leader from behind, when
ZeIig did not even know he was within
half a mile of him.
None the less, there are many who be-
leve Davidson will not go to trial alone
for the murder OF Zeig. These people
would not be surprised TO see four or five
men implicated by Davidson, II their
theory that he was only a factor In
conspiracy be correct.

MINE JUST MISSES BOATS
Charge of Trotol, New Explo-
siye Blows Up Prematurely.

While the coast artillery corps stationed
al Fort Wadsworth was at practice yes
terday with high explosives In the waters
OF tile Lower Bay. a trotol mine went or
prematurely and barely missed blowing
I'D a launch that was towing a target. A
schooner that went out prospecting for
the fish usually sent 10 the surface by
the mine practice narrowly escaped de-
struction.
The annual mine practice was directed
yesterday by Colonel John V. White, from
Fort Hamilton; Major Edwin Landon,
from Governors Island. and Major Rob-
ert s. Abernethy, OF the Army War Col
lege. at Washington. Three mines OF
trotol "A German chemical. and the most
powerful explosive known. were planted
I'm the harbor at places known to the
officers on shore. An army launch later
took out the target which was to be
blown up as II passed over the mine.
Two Of the mines, which were ten feet
below the surface, were successfully ex-
ploded as the target crossed them, and,
according To Major Abtrnethy, who was
umpire, the score was 100 per cent. The
third mine. however. exploded OF itself,
much TO the surprise of the artillerymen
I'm charge of the electrical decorating
wires ashore.
While the army men are positive the
explosion was not caused by the electrical
battery at the fort, they were not inclined
to give opinions concerning the cause. II
was generally believed by those interested
in the practice that trotol is an explosive
entirely too dangerous for use In this
harbor. II is thought that the mine ex-
ploded prematurely yesterday by contact
with log, lobster pot, ii big fish or
some other body drifting under the sur
face.
Harbor traffic was kept away yesterday
from the danger zone by the display of
big red flag on Fort Wadsworth, five
minutes before the firing began.

The brilliant Examinations along River
side Drive in honor of the assembled YES
sells of the United States navy shone forth
for the first time last night, and were
entirely satisfactory to the committee
having the lighting in charge, as well as
TO the thousands who we're on the drive
and the thousands who were on the ships.
Promptly at $50 o'clock the switches
were turned on, and instantly the names
OF American naval heroes, OF naval bat
ties where Americans were victorious and
of vessels that have figured In the naval
history of the United states. as we'll as
the familiar expressions of their COM
manders, burst forth in letters OF light
as brilliant as the achievements OF the
men and ships to which they referred.
1t took something like forty thousand
incandescent lights to pick out the words
emblazoned, and as they appeared there
issued from the threats Of the vast as
semblage expressions OF admiration that
were unchecked.
From I'D street to 135th street the scene
was magnificent. There appeared the
names Of Paul Jones. Farragut, Porter

Manila, Santiago, Lake Champlain and

Historic Phrases In Light.
The names of the famous vessels were
picked out in letters of light on the great
curved arches OF the viaduct, accom-
panied by the phrases that were uttereo
by their captains. which have come down
In history and will ever be known. THESE
were as follows:
Bon Homme Richard-'l nave not YET

Constitution-"Enemy has struck"
Maine-"Public opinion should be sus-
pended
oregon-"Arrived and ready for any

olympia-"Fire when you are ready

Added to all of this lighting, for when
the city provided, the occupants OF pri-
yate residences and apartments fronting
on the Drive responded TO the appeal for
lighted windows, and nearly every win
dow fronting on the Drive was lit up.

for then the warships will all be illu-
minated by lights that will show their
outlines against the background OF the
