BIG NAVY REVIEW
FOR N. Y. IN MAY
Expense Too Great for
Joint Manpuvres with
Army and Militia.
[From Ths Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Feb. "a. - Secretary
Daniels announced to-day that, in view
Of the fact that the Atlantic fleet will
soon assemble for practice and drill in
Narragansett Bay, it is feasible to hold
review Of the entire feet at New
York early in May, and that, il no
unforceen circumstance prevented, the
gathering of the warships in the waters
surrounding the metropolis would be
arranged to follow the season at New
port. The mobilization would precede
the expected official review at Hampton
Roads, Va, which will be the cere-
monial beginning Of President Wilson's
journey to the Canal Zone.
The suggestion that the review be
accompanied by joint military and
naval man9uvres, with the army and
national guard taking part, is regarded
for the present as untenable in ad-
ministration circles. The expense
stands in the way, and the need for a
special appropriation to pay the bill
Of Transporting the troops TO New York
would not be cordially received by
Congress, it is believed here.
Secretary Of War Garrison indicated
that he feared asking for such an ap-
preparation might initiate against per-
manent legislation which the army
could i'll afford - have endangered al
this juncture.

Washington, Feb. 24.-President Will

tonight in a speech delivered in Me-
mortal Continental Hall, home OF the
Daughters of the American Revolution,

sis that native ability has nothing -
do with social origin. II is very anus
ing sometimes to see the airs that high
society gives itself. The world could
dispense with high society and never
miss It. High society is for those who
have stopped working and no longer
have anything important to do.
Those who can open up the great
origins Of power are those who FEED
the nation; and when one thinks OF
that old stock in storage there IN the
mountains for over hundred years,

SHORT MAN MAKES
THE BEST FIGHTER
English Psychologist Gives the
Royal Sanitary Institute Re-
suits of Study.

London. Feb. 1.-THE short man
makes the better fighter, says DR.. NJ.
S. Pembrey. lecturer on physiology at
Guys Hospital, in a discussion before
the Royal Sanitary Institute. This nc
bases on a careful study Of the fight
irg capacity Of tall and short races.
and also of the tall men and short
men of the same race.
The difference in height between a
short man and tall man, said DR..
Pembrey, is due chiefly TO the length
of leg. At the same time, height de-
pends upon the correlated activity OF
certain glands which produce internal
secretions. The essential organs in
the head and trunk are often better
developed in the short than in the tall
man. the weight of brain being rela-
lively greater in the short man and
the reaction time not so long. Tall
men of full proportions are heavy and
slow. and there are strong physiologi-
cal reasons for the greater activity OF
the small man, who does not suffer
from the mechanical disadvantages OF
height and weight. Therefore. the
small man has a greater capacity for
work and more ehdarance, and is bet
ter able TO resist disease.

"The building would make an ideal

said. "Inasmuch as our financial con-

PLOT TO KILL
PERKINS'S Aid
BostWick Has Narrow ES-
cape from Fumes of Drug
Juror CollapseS.

To avenge the vigorous prosecution
which forced Nicholas Fsrrsro, on trial
for white slavery in General Sessions,
TO change his plea TO guilty, friends OF
the Italian made a desperate attempt
10 kill Assistant District Attorney
Bostwick with the deadly fumes Of
anvil nitrite as he left the courtroom.
Although the alleged plot miscarried,
William Wright, one of the jurors,
was made unconscious by dose of the
drug evidently intended for Mr.. Bost-
wick
The attempt on Bostwick's life was
made at the end of Farrara's trial a
week ago. but it was not reported TO
the District Attorney until yesterday,
when Judge Wsdhsms sentenced the
white SLAYER to not less than nine years
and eight months nor more than nine
teen years and nine months in Sing
Sing. Francesca Battaglia was SEN.
fenced to the Bedford Reformatory at
the same time. She was arrested with
Farraro on the complaint of Louise
Never. a girl who had been held pris-
oner in the house Farraro kept at lO2
Mott Street, and was finally rescued
by the police.
Farraro's trial began February TO-
but the next day, realizing that he had
no chance against the strong case that
Bostwick had against him, he changed
his plea to guilty and appealed to the
mercy of the court. The Assistant Dis
trict Attorney left the courtroom with
Juror No. 8. William Wright, of 752
Greenwich Street, and they went to-
gether TO the south elevators.
A crowd of Farrsro's friends swsrmed
from the courtroom and jostled around
them as they waited for car. Bost-
wick went TO his Office upstairs and
Wright started for the street. AS he
left the elevator, however, he collapsed
and was carried into a side room, where
he was revived with some difficulty,
though il was thought at the time that
he had suffered only a fainting spell.
He later consulted physician, DR.. Ed
win Zimmerman, of 297 West Eleventh
Street. After a careful examination
DIR. Zimmerman said that in his opin-
ion the juror was the victim of amyl
nitrite poisoning. Nothing else. he
said. would cause a man of Wrights
strong constitution to collapse so
quickly. =,
In discussing his experience with Mr.
Bostwick yesterday, Wright said he
was sure he was the victim of an at
tack directed against the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney. Just before stepping
into the elevator, he said, he can re-
member noticing peculiar odor; ,
Amyl nitrite, according TO the United
States Dispensatory," is an extremely
volatile yellowish liquid. 1t is used IN
minute quantities as heart stimulant.
and its fumes, if inhaled in any guam
tity, are fatal 1t produces sense or
sufrocation and weakness, together with
a violent flushing of the face and ex-
cessive heart action.
When District Attorney Perkins was
told of Mr.. Bostwicks escape yester-
day afternoon, he was greatly inter.
estcd. I'm mighty glad he's alive
he said.
