NEW LONDON, Conn, Aug. s.-The
entire battleship fleet of the black
squadron attempted today to run the
gauntlet of Forts Terry. Niche and H.
G. Wright, defending the eastern en-
trance TO Long Island sound.
theoretically, the attempt was a
failure, and the squadron was sunk.
The trial at running the forts was
spectacular, as the outer rim of the
Notifications was outlined by flame
for nearly half an hour. In that length
of time the last of the battleships had
been sunk.
The outcome of the battle is regarded
as a complete demonstration of the
supremacy of the coast defenses
against naval attack.
At range of 5000 yards the guns
at the forts, representing the largest
caliber guns in the service, opened fire.
The battleships avoided as far as
possible the field of mines, which was
detected by reconnoitering Wednesday
night.
Without depending on the effective
ness of the mines, the umpires ruled

turned to the United States district
court room.
| The defense had objected to Roche's
calling upon Diggs and Caminetti to
stand up while witnesses identified
them, and to be agreeable Roche asked
Miller to pick Ross out of the crowd.
Miller left the witness stand and
walked to the counsel table. where he
picked the right man.
A craning of curious necks followed
the trail of Mrs. Kate Moore, the first
woman witness, as she approached the
! stand. Mrs. Moore is the wife of the
assistant district attorney of Washoe
county. who lives across the street
from the Cheney street cottage.

he had called at her home on the aft

himself as Enright.

| A later witness developed the fact

when he approached Mrs. Moore was an
inventory of the furnishings of the
bungalow given him by the agent from
whom the place was rented.
| Mergen, the realty Office clerk, was
asked to pick out the man he knew as

carefully, scrutinizing the faces at the
press table closely. Then he pointed

Ross as Caminetti behind Devlin at

veloped the fact there is another small
cottage containing a bedroom, partly
furnished, on the lot occupied by the
bungalow, which was not rented at
the time, nor included in the deal made

NEW YORK, Nov 1o.-New low rec
ords for the movement were made by
practically all OF the active stocks on
the New York stock exchange today.
An absence of fluctuations character
ized the entire movement, the trend
being steady, and nearly every quota
ton being Il below the one just before.
Occasionally a stock would rally as
much as 3, only to begin the drop
downward again after holding its
strength for just moment.
Outside OF heavy selling from Boston,

allied with Thomas W. Lawson. and
from London. there seemed to be no
real reason for the decline, except in
