The case of Herbert Dyer was not concluded when superior court ad Journed at Kingston, Wednesday, but went to the jury at the opening of court, Thursday. Dyer was adjudged guilty of the charge of habituaI in temperance and neglect to support his wife and children by the Third district court, and sentenced to six months in the state workhouse. Appeal was taken to the superior court. The jury returned 8 verdict of not guilty.
 The town is required to pay the costs in cases of this kind, where the ac- cused are not found guilty; and will also pay the costs in the case of James Benson, who was not found guilty of the charge of being sturdy beggaT. It has been the custom of the police department not to present bills of costs to the town for payment, as the Third district court is self-sup- porting. Instead the costs are paid from a fund created by the fees paid tQ- police officers in that court Out of this fund is also paid for the feed ing of the prisoners in the police sta ton, and also the expenses incidental to extra work in connection with the police department. In the event of this fund becoming exhausted, it has been the custom of the chief of police to advance money and then wait until the fees come in for reimbursement. The costs in the Benson and Dyer cases and the expense connected with the arrest of the men charged with the Beringer assault. all coming at prac- ucally the same time, has depleted the never large fund.
 The cases against Charles Valenta and Peter Rimo, assigned for Thursday have been reassigned for trial next Tuesday They are charged with as sault with intent to rob Jacob Berin- ger and his son Cecil Beringer.
 Senator Louis W, Arnold of Wes- terly, chairman of the committee on finance made unfavorable report on the payment of the bill of John F. Len non for S17171 for interest claimed because payment on Q flour contract with the state was not paid when due Senator Arnold stated that the reso- lution had been improperly drawn, but aside from that fact, he believed it unwise to establish a, precedent in this matter There are several accounts, said Senator Arnold, due for five or six years, and if MT. Lemons claim was paid there would be a rush of others who were as much entitled to interest as Mir. Lennon. While the bill may be morally right" said the senator Eve don't think it should be passed as 8, precedent.''

COCKTAILS ASKS FOR SHIPS.
Wants Destroyers Dispatched to Canal
Zone at Once.

Washington, Dee. l4.--Colonel Goethals
has requested that destroyers be sent to
the canal zone Immediately, it was
learned Saturday night but no specific
explanation of the need for naval vessels
there was included in the message. A re-
ply, asking for this explanation, was sent
at once, but no answer had been received
from Colonel Goethals at late hour.
Officials believe that the canal governor
has experienced some difficulty in pre-
serving the complete neutrality of the
zone and its territorial waters. Many
ships belonging to belligerent nations are
in the vicinity, and it is thought possible
that Colonel Goethals has found himself
unable to check the use of their wireless
plants within the three mile limit TO CON
yoy information TO warships at sea.
With swift naval vessels to aid it
would be an easier matter to regulate the
use OF wireless, and il was thought prob
able that the necessary destroyers would
be dispatched as soon as Colonel Goeth-
ais explanation is received.

New York, Dec l4.-Vice- President

it impossible for and Federal league
club owner in his eagerness for winner,

In statement Ward denied that any
action was taken at the recent Federal

who showed enough faith in the Fed

baseball will be protected to the end of
his agreement, even though it necessi-

NO MORE DREADNoUGHTS?
England May Not Lay Down Amy More
Ships of That Class.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press

| Correspondence of the Associated Press
London, Dee. l4.-England probably
never will lay down another dreadnought
says one of the foremost shipbuilders m
this country, who for obvious reasons,
cannot be quoted. All the dreadnoughts,
according to this authority, which have
been laid down will be rushed to compile
ton, but no orders will be given for any
more vessels OF this type. This policy
was under serious consideration when the
Audacious went to the bottom and the
recent loss of the Bulwark has only
served to confirm the opinion that the
battleship as n fighting craft is doomed.
All new construction in the British
shipyards consist of heavily eruis-
ers of great coal carrying capacity, de-
stroyers and submarines. For 10 miles
along the Tyne in coming into Newcastle
the passengers on the boats cannot hear
each other speak because of the din of
steam hammers most Of which are max
ing destroyers and submarines.
When Sir Percy Scott expressed his
doubts of the efficiency of the dread
nought Just after England had placed her
seal on it as the premier fighting unit OF
naval warfare his unorthodoxy made him
the strategic hereto OF his time, but this
war has come near to indicating his
theory, for thus far not a single success
can be placed to the credit of dread
nought, while the experimental, almost
despised, submarine has won most of the
naval laurels.
France is also reported as hurrying the
OF submarines, while Russia
is said to have asked for tenders on
of 1000 tons.

100000 Bequest to Suffrage.

New York, Dec. l4.-Mrs. Frank Les
lies Sl,000,000 bequest to the cause of
woman suffrage was attacked Saturday
afternoon in two suits started in the SUI
preme court at New York by Florence l..
Weissbrod and Lonetta L. HolIander,
grandchildren of Frank Leslie, the found
er of the publishing firm which bears his
name.
The plaintiffs in these suits demand
$400, 900 each as their share of the estate,
and also set forth that 5000, 000-all that
would be left of the money bequeathed
by Mrs. Leslie to woman sufrage--should
be paid to Frank Leslie, Sd, and Arthur
Leslie, also grandchildren of Frank Les
lie, LIST. The petitioners allege that Mrs.
Frank Leslie was entitled to only one
third of the 81 100000 estate which she
disposed of by will.
Mrs. Leslie's will provided that the res
idue of her estate be paid outright to
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Although she
imposed no restrictions upon Mrs. Gait,
she expressed in her will the hope that
the money would be spent for advancing
woman suffrage.

Vera Cruz and the attendant internecine
street lighting reached Tampico, anti
American feeling among the MeXicans IN
that port was very strong. II became 40
intense II was decided wise that the
United States warships withdraw from
the Panueo river to allay, rs far rs pos
sible, the excitement os the Mexicans.
The vessels accordingly steamed out to
sea and anchored three miles from the
city.
For some peculiar reason the MeXicans
did not appreciate the American point Of
view In removing the warships and be-
came very abusive to any American who
showed himself in the streets. Riots be-
gan all over the city and for a few hours
u looked as If the Americans, who bar
ricaded themselves in hotels and houses,
would be overcome and slain.
Then the gallant commander of the
Dresden, which was in the harbor, went
to the rescue. Going ashore with his aids
and a force of bluejackets and marines.
he served notice on the Mexican federal
authorities, then in control of Tampico,
that unless the military forces ashore
cleared the streets ut once he would rake
them with shell. The Dresden lay ready
with her guns primed and manned.
The force of Germans then assembled
the American refugees and with the as
sistance of the commander and men from
the British cruiser Hermione transferred
all of the Americans on board that ves
sci and the Dresden. This action made
profound impression on the Americans in
the region, and the German attitude was
warmly applauded in this country.
Great Britain's attitude at Tampico, as
well as at Vera Cruz and Mexico City,
also called forth great praise. Especially
was the work of Captain Tweedie of the
cruiser Essex applauded. He was instru
mental in obtaining the release of numer
GUS American refugees in Mexico City
after the occupation of Vera Cruz and
took them safely to the port.
