 District Attorney Whitman early in his long address to the jury tonight at : tackled the motive presented by the defence for the slaying of Rosenthal- that the gambler died in a war among gamblers.
 From the viewpoint of the state 1t was not gambler who died, but a states witness, said the prosecutor, and no testimony had been presented to indicate anything else than that Rosenthal was killed because he was about to be a witness. If Becker was not the murderer. declared Mr. Whit man. then he (the prosecutor) could not see what motive there could be behind the killing.

Colonel Expressed Heartfelt Appreeia-
 tion of Welcome Extended.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. May 2J.-In the home town of Theodore Roosevelt to- day there was celebration which went straight to the scoloneps heart. His old neiglrbors, friends of a lifetime welcomed him back from the jungles, and they did it in way which made the former president strangely silent as he arose to face them and put an unwonted huSkineSs in his voice.
 Oyster Bays main street, lined for the most part with low wooden build ings was filled with crowd which comprised every one in the village who was neither too old nor too young to be on hand. and Pine Hollow, a negro colony of 400 inhabitants, near here, was present to the last resident Long before Colonel Roosevelt returned from New York, where he had spent tie day, the people were awaiting him. On the buildings and strung across the street were fiags and bunting. aNiled to g. telegraph, pole was huge sign which read:
 '1s16 and Victory"
 At last there came shout and over the heads of the crowd could be seen a big white straw hat, waving back and forth. Everyone knew it was the him, and for a quarter of an hour there wa sa wild scramble to shake hands with him. The village band played 'Th1s is the I.ife.,'
 Alter that was over the crowd grew silent and 500 school children began their song As they came to the chor- us, the crowd caught up the words, which everyone knew, Home again. home again, from a foreign shore" Colonel Roosevelt stood silent and grave of face while they sang.
 The only hint of politics came in the speech of welcome of Robert Duva1l, an Oyster Bay lawyer, who attacked the policies of the Wilson administra- tios,. He concluded by saying that the eyes of the nation were not on Washington, but on Eagamore Hflf.
 In his speech Colonel Roosevelt avoided politics and expressed his heartfelt appreciation of the welcome extended him.

MAIDEN VOYAGE
 OF GIANT vATERLANp.
Carried 5000 Psrsons-Tuss Unable to Hold Big Einer-rook 1-2 Hours to Swing Into Berth.

New York. May 21-The vaterland of the Hamburg-American line, the biggest steamer in service, arrived in New York harbor early today on her maiden voyage from Hamburg. Her run yesterday was 594 miles and her average speed an hour was 2s.s knots.
 The Vaterland is $50 feet in length, 100 feet beam and has a tonnage of 5s,000.
 Including her crew and passengers, the Vaterland carried 5000 persons The crew numbered 1,2s1. Among the passengers were the designer of the ship, Dr. Forester: Alexander Carlisle, who designed the Titanic; Admiral Os- car Won Truppe1. of the German navy; Walter B1om, one of the build CTS. and directors of the Hamburg American line.-
 In the Vaterlands first cargo were 2,066 barrels of beer and 250 barrels of salt.
 When the vaterland was headed in for her high pier more than fifty tugs had her in charge. As her bow reared the pier the strong ebb tide caught the vessel at the stern and began to swing her around. heading There was a shouting of orders, the big whistle on the liner boorned and the hawsers on the tugs wele let go.
 The vessel began to back under her own power and was soon out in the stream again almost directly in the path of the Lackawana ferry boats. The tugs began to manoeuvre about her again, but the big liner slowly drifted southward.
 In the grip of the strong <bb tide, the big ship was seemingly almost helpless. She was carried steadily down stream toward the Battery.
 The great ship was swung into her berth at d.l0 D. m. three and a half hours after she first came abreast of her pier.

LED BY MRS. PANkHURsT AND MISS SYLVIA
Squad Known aGun Women" Yielded Clubs With Dexter ity-Combat Was Short But Sharp and Resulted in Numerous Arrests-Both Pankhursts Are Now In Gus tody-Many Gowns Ruined by Sprnkling Carts, Which Were Used to Disperse the Crowds-Incarcerated Wo- Break Every Window in Small Police Station Be fore Removal to a Larger One.

London, May a1.-An attempt by militant suffragettes to present a ,peti- tion to King George at Buckingham Palace today failed, but not until a battle had been fought which for fierceness surpassed any previous mil itant demonstrations
 The crowd of onlookers which had waited in the hot sun for two hours suffered almost as much as the fight CTS. The attack eventually came from a totally unexpected quarter.
 The police precautions had been d1- rected toward repeiling an assault from the direction of Westminster, where the sufragettes had advertised that they would form a parade. In stead a small body known, because of their militant record as gun women" of the Women's Social and Political Union burst from a private residence on Hyde Park corner and forced their way through the archway at the top of Constitutions hill before the small squad Of police on duty there had time to collect and resist them.
 Headed by Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss Sylvia sPankhurst.>the flying squad of women swept down Constitution hill towards Buckingham Palace. but when half way along met the most hated enemy of the militants in the person of Inspector Riley, who has charge of the suffragette detail at the Scotland Yard police Headquarters
 The shock of combat was short but sharp and resulted in the arrest of many women, who in. the fighting used clubs with a facility which betrayed long training.
 The roadway had just been sprinkled with water and many mounted po- ucemen were thrown. Their comrades On foot rolled with them in the mud. Eventually the strength of the police men told and in few minutes over thirty women. Including Mrs. Plank hurst, had been placed under arrest, vhilesthex other had been scattered into small groups
 One group headed by Miss Sylvia Pankhufst reached a point almost across the drive from sthe palace, where. mounted police surrounded the women and took Miss Sylvia and several of her comrades in custody.
 The crowd N this point was so dense that the attempts of the police to clear the drive were without sue cess, until recourse was had to sprink-

ling carts which ruined many of the fine gowns of the fashionable women spectators who had gathered to watch the expected battle. This caused the police to lose their popularity with the crowd, which up to that moment had cheered them on.
 Several members of the house of commons among the spectators de- nounced the police for not adher1ng to their promise to treat the women with gentleness The police retorted that the terrific onslaught of the mllltants had left them no alternative.
 For two hours after the conclusion of the main battle the police were engaged in breaking up small groups of women who had spread over the surrounding district. The casualties were not numerous, consisting of a few broken heads, but much harm was done to the uniforms of the police and to the dresses of the women
 At no time were more than a couple of hundred women engaged in the bat tie while opposed to them was force of 1,500 police.
 Buckingham Palace resembled more @ mobilization center than the peace full home of royalty
 Two ambulance corps were on the scene and both male and female nurses found plenty to do with cases of faint ing among the spectators.
 With the exception or a IeW minutes when King George stood at a window watching the preparations to defend him from the attentions of the women the palace presented a deserted ap- pearance.
 A police inspector said that when Mrs PankhiIrst was arrested he car ried her inside the park gate and she shouted:
 That is right Arrest me at the gates of the palace. Tell the king" - The total arrests numbered 57. in- scludiHg three men. A dozen suffra- gettes, who were lodged in the small police station at Wellington Arch, smashed every window in the place and behaved so vioentIy that they had to be- removed to bigger stations, where there were more police to guard them.
 Mrs. Pankhurst was taken to Ho1- loway jail for breaking the terms of the license under which she was last released.

TELLS OF MORSE DEAL
Consulted Roosevelt About Steamship Transaction With Charles w. Morse, and Was Urged Not to seII-Wit- ness Cheerful and Alert.

Washington, May 21-An absolute monopoly of transportation under gov ernment regulation and control, was suggested by Charles s. Mellen. for mer president of the New Haven rail- road; to the Interstate Commerce Com mission today as the solution of the American railroad problem.
 To get efficiency and economy" de- clared MT. Mellen, there must be a monopoly: and that monopoly is cer- ment"
 A little later he remarked: livery time railroad official comes to Wash ington he has to take off his hat to some government of1cial''
 cred entirely from his evident fatigue of yesterday. He wis virile and active, mentally and physically. He respond ed vigorously and prolhptly to the gruelling line of interTogations fired at him by Chief Counsel Joseph w. Folk, never hesitating a second for a word.
 He told at length the story of his steamship transactions with Charles w. Morse. Concerning these, MT. Mel- len explained he felt it desirable to then was president of the United States. He told the president that he had received an offer of SEQ 000 900 from Morse for the New Haven steam ship holdings and felt inclined to ac- cept 1t, because thus the New Haven would be able to turn the property into cash. Mir. Roosevelt, he said. appar- ently was anxious that Morse should be checked in his ambition to acquire a monopoly of the steamship lines and urged Mir. Mellen not to sell.
 Mir. Mellen said he was frankly ap- prehensive at that time of the enact ment of a law by congress to prevent railroads from owning or controlling water lines, but he was assured by Mir. Roosevelt that so long as the law remained as 1t then was, the New Ha- ven need have no fear about it's wa ter line holdings.
 In the acquisition of various trolley he had proceeded upon the theory that traneportation particularly through densely populated sections, might bet ter be handled on electihed lines than on steam roads. He pointed out that great passenger stations and necessary terminal facilities of steam railroads especially in cities of considerable size and to maintain. He had been con- vinced that the diversion of much of the trafhc of steam foads to electrified lines would be more economical. the rates lower and the service generally more satisfactory to the public.
 tion again was directed to campaign contributions made by the New Ha- ven to the republican national com mittee of 1900 and 190l. He reiterated statements which he had made pre- viously.
 When asked why he relinquished the presidency of the New Haven, Mir

FEDERALs AND REBELS
 MAY CLASH AT VERA CRUZ.
400 ConstitutionaIists Have Landed 25
 Miles North of American Outposts.

Vera Cruz, May 21-The possibility of a clash between federals and con stitutionalists in the enighborhood of Vera Cruz is indicated by a persistent rumor that 400 constitutionalists from Tampico have landed at Barra de Chacalacas, at the mouth of a small stream about 25 miles north of the American outposts.
 Headquarters officials are inclined to place little faith in the reports. The landing may have taken place yester- day and forms another possible expla- nation of the repeated rumors of troop movements among the federals about Vera Cruz and of the alleged move ment of General Castro and the PuebIa gar rison to reinforce General Navar- cite along the Interoceanic railway.
