ADMIRAL DEWEY BETTER;
is AT MANHATTAN BEACH

New York, July 3.-Admiral Dewey,
who reached New York. on the presi-
dents yacht, Mayfiower, with Mrs.
Dewey. was comfortably installed for
the summer months in the Oriental
hotel, Manhattan Beach, yesterday.
The admiral has suffered from the
heat in Washington and has been i'll
for several weeks. Yesterday he took
walk ON the beach and felt refreshed.
A spanking breeze was blowing and
the salt air gave him a bit of an ap-
petite. He read his papers and his
mail and retired to his suite overlook
ing the sea. To a reporter he sent
word that he could not receive any of
his friends until he had got back some
OF his strength. The admiral posed
for a photograph for the first time in

Mrs. Joseph Grimwood
Chokes Invader After
Beating Her Spouse
ON FARM AT Y0RKvILLE
BURGLAR and Husband Battle
Long in Dark With a Club
and a Ice Pick. =

Yorkville, ILL.,, July "a dramatic
story of a fight to death in the dark
with a masked robber who invaded
their home early today is told by Mr..
and Mrs Joseph Grimwood. an old
couple who live on farm two miles
east of here.
The robber died as she was throt'
tling him, Mrs. Grimwood said. after
he had been thrown to the floor by
her husband. She is a large, powerful
woman, although 65. The robber, ap-
parently, is 55, smooth shaven and
wearing a new suit of clothes. He had
receipts in his pocket from a depart
ment store in Chicago for a new suit
of clothes. Th receipt bore the name
of William Davis.
Slips showing apparent profits of
between five and six thousand dollars
on the Chicago board of trade were
also on the robbes. The theory of the
police is that the clothing were stolen
and that the papers in the robbers
clothing are those of another man.
Breathing Guide for Blows.
Before Mrs Grimwood got into the
fight her husband and the robber-the
former armed with club, the robber
with an ice pick-circled round and
round in the dark, feeling for one an
other, lunging and striking, their
heavy breathing being all that guided
their blows as they groped for each
other. Now and then Grimwood got
home a blow with his club, while the
robber frequently. reached the farmer
with the ice pick. Finally one of
Grimwood's swings crashed upon the
robbers head and he fell.
Mrs. Grimwood, who had been awak-
ened by rushing feet, leaped upon the
robber, seized him by the throat and
choked him, while her husband got up,
struck a light and went after a rope
to bind the man. The robber died as
her husband came back, she said.

During the campaign OF 1892 Mr..
Chamberlain worked with great effect,
and subsequently in the commons he
was to the forefront in all the assaults
on the Irish government BILL and clash
ed frequently with Mr.. Gladston-. The
home rulers considered him a renegade

bills, one night in July, 1893, Mr.. Glad

with a genius, eloquence, energy and
never equalled in any pre-

party wayered and went down to de-
feat in the election of 1906. The one
bright spot for the unionist party. dur

Retirement of Captain Gibbon Causes
Talk at Washington.

Washington, d. c., July 3.-The
navy was stirred today by the removal
from active service of Captain John
Gibbon, commanding the Louisiana, by
the 'plucking board"
Captain Gibbon was regarded as one
of the crack officers of the service.
1t appears that Captain Gibbon was
"plucked" because of his lack of sea
service The board, after examining
the list OF captains and finding that all
of them were good enough to remain
in the service, came to the conclusion
that the only way it could carry out
the law requiring certain number
of retirements was to apply the acid
test of sea service, first enforced by
Secretary Daniels.
