MRS. HOvEY WEEPS WHEN SON IS HELD IN ,EKTORTiON CASE.
Former Bridgeporter Un able to Furnish Bail of
 $1O,OOO Goes to Jail

Attaches of the Hartford city court, hardened to scenes of emotion, could not conceal their feelings this morning when it came time for Mrs. Marshall Hovey of this city to part from her in bail of $1O,0o0 on the charge of at tempted extortion.
 Hovey, former freight clerk in this city. was unable to furnish bail of $1O,0o0 and went to the Hartford county jail to await arraignment in the next term of the superior court. Relatives discussing Hovey's conduct, at the close of the trial, ventured the opinion that he was mentally unbal- anced as a result of worry at not se- curing employment. Hovey and his wife and two children live in Spring field.
 Hovey is the man who threatened President Durham of Hartford in surance firm and was captured after a revolver fight. Hovey drew a gun on an officer but it was afterward found that his pistol was not loaded. A messenger boy, Louis O'Malley, who carried Hovey's messages to MT. Durham, told his story to the court. Detective AIeIberger related the incl dents connected with Hovey's arrest. Hovey said he knew the gun was not loaded and that he did not try to snap it. He said he had no intention of resisting arrest until he thought of his wife and children and then he lost his head.
 MT. and Mrs. Marshall H. Hovey, of Bridgeport parents of the accused were in the court room.
 George L. Hersey,' of Springfield. a brother-in-law of Hovey, who was in the courtroom, said after adjournment of court that he believed that Hovey is not mentally responsible.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Isis.

The Isis today will present another
my Lady Raffles'' story in The Mys-
terious Rose" a thrilling Gold Seal
detective drama in two parts, featur-
ing Grace Cunard and Francis Ford
of Lucille Love" fame.
THE Mysterious Rose is one OF
the series of detective dramas that
are being produced by Mr.. Ford and
Miss Cunard. Also, it is, you will agree,
one of the most exciting, mystifying
and stirring detective plays that this
notable pair of artists have produced
so far. With Miss Cunard in the role
of MY Lady Raffles" and Mr.. Ford
playing Phil. Kelley, the spectator is
carried along, from the first moment
the picture is flashed upon the screen
until the finish, in a veritable sea Of
emotion; there are surprising twists
in the situations, clever bits of bust
ness, thrilling gun and hand-to- hand
fights, with just enough love interest
in the piece to make the play ideal as
a detective story.
''Nipped," is another strong story
on today's bill. 1t is a two-part drama
of Mexican-Japanese intrigue, while
the "BIighted Spaniard," which also
will be shown today is a screaming
comedy.

Important Naval Base for Frisco
Brought Nearer by European War.

San Francisco, Sept. 1s.--The crea-
ton Of q great naval base In the Bay
of San Francisco, to be the central
station for outfit, equipment and de-
parture Of Uncle Sans fighting ships
in the Pacific. has been brought ap-
preciably nearer by the outbreak or
the European war.
Rear Admiral Charles F. Pond of
the Twelfth naval district, which
comprises the Pacific coasts naval
defenses from the Mexican border to
the Columbia river, has laid before
the department at Washington a gen.
eral plan whose main features have
been approved by Secretary Daniels
and the general board.
The plan is to build naval base
on the mainland shore, between Point
Isabel and Point Flemming, which lie
about midway between West Berkeley
and Richmond.
1t will consist of docks, dry DOCKS
an inland basin, repair shops, maga-
zines and equipment stores for the
complete housing, repair and outfit
ting Of the Pacific fleet.
War Strengthens U. IS.
The immediate necessity for the
addition of more battleships to the
fighting force, which is being fully met
this year by the appropriations for
three flrst-clasS dreadnoughts, has
held back the execution Of this plan,
but the course Of the war can have no
other result than to place the United
States still more securely in its place
as regards relative power in battle
ships.
1.-The best place for the United
States to establish its Pacific base-in
fact, an ideal PLACES opposite the
Golden Gate" declared Rear Admiral
Pond.
Being eleven miles inside the heads
and sixteen miles inside the bar, this
location would be beyond range Of the
biggest guns of hostile fleet.
Against a torpedo boat attack by
night, or in a fog, a wire hawser bar
rier across the chanel, slack when not
required and hove taut by winches in
time Of danger, would be adequate
protection.
