M,NAB IN-coURT.
Announces That He Has Been Ordered
 to Withhold Cases.

San Francisco. June 24.-While inn portant developments were following one another in rapid fire order in Washington today. as the result of the controversy begun when United States District Attorney John l.. MeNab of the northern district of California, tel egraphed his resignation to President Wilson last Saturday, the prosecutor himself was driving one more nall in the flag of reballion which he fastened to the masthead last week.
 MT. McNab resigned because he could not agree to Attorney General McReynoldS' decree to have the. Diggs- Caminetti white slave and certain Western Fuel company conspiracy cases continued for a long period To- day he obtained a continuance of three weeks, instead of for the longer time his chief had requested, and refused to proceed with the prosecution of those Western Fuel company officials not mentioned by Mir. McReyno1ds separate from the cases of the two directors whom the attorney general had asked to be favored.
 When the cases of John L. Howard, president of the Western Fuel conn pany, and his fellow officials under in- dictment for alleged conspiracy to de- fraud the customs were called by Judge Bean in the United States dis trict court MT. McNab said, addressing the court:
 q cannot proceed with these cases. I wish to state the conditions which make it impossible. The attorney gen eral has directed me to withhold from trial the cases of two of the defend ants. In this am unable to agree with my superior, and therefore I have sent my resignation to the president"
 The court then made an order set ting the cases over until July 15

JUDGE GARY UNAWARE OF
 PRICE FIXING POOLS,
Ordered Them Discontinued When He
 Learned of Them.

New York, June 24.-Testimony in support of the contention of the Unit ed States Steel corporation that Judge Gary, itscahfrman, was unaware of the participation of any if it's subsidiaries in various price fixing pools was given today at the hearings in the govern ment suit to dissolve the corporation as an illegal combination.
 William c. Temple, commissioner on the structural plate and shafting pools organized in 1898, declared that the pools had been broken up in 1904 as the result of positive orders from officials Of the corporation. Charles MacVeagh, general solicitor for the corporation, testified that in 1908 Judge Gary had ordered him to investigate the partici- patton of the American Steel and Wire company in the wire pool and have his company withdraw. Mir. Temple swore that Judge Gary did not attend any of the structural and plate pool meet ings, as had been testified by William E. Corey, formerly president of the corporation.
 Mir. MacVeagh declared that Judge Gary and himself both agreed that the wire pools were illegal and added that Judge Gary told him that he did not know of the wire company's participa- ton until it had been called to his att tention by an outsider

Dewey's Idea of
 Adequate Navy
SHOULD BE SECOND ONLY TO
 ENGLAND IN STRENGTH.
TO PRESERVE PEACE
That is the 6nly Function and Justifi- cation for Existence of Navy, De- clares Admiral Navy Day Article

Washington, June 24.-An adequate American navy means a fleet second only to that of Great Britain and "in- adequacy is an invitation to war; in the opinion of Admiral Dewey, ranking naval officer of the United States.
 Duty of Each Generation.
 T believe it is the duty of each gen. eratlon to pay its own insurance and not to thrust it's burden on the genera tions that come after; and the insur- ance for peace is a. navy strong enough to compel 1t" says the admiral in an article written for the programme for navy day at Newport R. l., July ?, and made public today
 Navy Must Be Adequate.
 The only function and justification for tn eexistence of a navy Is the preservation of peace.'' the article con- tinues. ITO perform this function the navy must be adequate; and though so much discussed in these recent times, the word adequate as applied to the navy has but one meaning, and that is that an adequate navy is navy of strength sufficient to meet and defeat any probable enemy.
 Second in Strength to England.
 This strength is not absolute. but is relative and varies from period to peri cd as the other naval powers of the world vary their naval strengths At the present period adequacy on our part calls for a navy second in strength to that of England only"

NO RECEIVER FOR THE
 SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
Court Says Case Seems to Call For s- Services of Master.

Boston, June 24-The Southern New England Railway company which was organized as a subsidiary of the Grand Trunk railway to construct an exten- sion of that system from Palmer Mass, to tidewater at Providence, R. l., will not be placed in the hands of a receiver at the present time.
 Judge Braley of the supreme court so ruled today at the hearing on the petition for the appointment of re- ceiver brought by John Marsch. a of Chicago. After listening to counsel for all parties Judge Braley said that the case seemed to call for the services of master, rather than a receiver. Marsch claims that his contract with the Southern New Eng land has cost him $1,510,000 of which only $5O0,000 has been paid him. He charges that much of the cost to his company followed the cessation of construction work on the line.
 The case will come up in the su- preme court again on Thursday when counsel will report on the question of transferring it to the United States court Discussion of this matter was brought out in court today by the fact that some of the creditors of the com pany reside outside the state. Judge Braley expressed doubts as to whether the transfer could be made.
 Unless the case is carried beyond the supreme courts jurisdiction, the hear ing will be resumed there on July 1, regarding the appointment of a master

STRIKE FOLLOWS A
 REDUCTION OF WAGES
Two Hundred Employees Of AeoIian
 Company at Meriden Quit Work.

Meriden, Conn, June 24.-About two hundred employees of the Aeolian com pany walked out of the factory this afternoon and a strike was declared. A reduction in the wages of about thirty of the women operatives follow ing the introduction of an efficiency system resulted in the employees organ izing a branch union of the American Federation of Labor last week All efforts to arbitrate have failed and the strike was ordered this afternoon after District Organizer w. J. Buckley had received an unfavorable reply from the concerns officials to the grievances registered.
 The employees who walked out and who are also organized number about two-t1lirds of the employees. They make the paper music rolls for the mechanical piano. Guarantee is. made that the strike will be conducted along peaceful lines and no trouble is anti cipated by the police. The employees are numbered among Meriden's best citizens and the majority of them are skilled workers.
 The company is one of the largest makers of player piano music rolls in the country.
