SAYS LITTLE KNEW OF
SUBMARINES DEFECTS

Boston, Nov. 1.--Rear Admiral Will
liam N. Little, retired, pleaded not
guilty before a naval court martial to-
day to charges of neglect and careless
methods while on duty as inspection
officer during the construction of sulr-
marine K-2 at the Fore River Ship
building company's yard, at Quincy,
two years ago.
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fisk was
president Of the court martial and
Lieutenant Commander Alfred w.
Johnson rs judge advocate opened the
proceedings by reading the list of
charges. Commander James l.. Lati-
mer represented Rear Admiral Little.
Lieut.. Radford Moses, the first wit
ness, stated that he was one of the in
spection officers at FOREVER during the
building Of the K-2 and subsequently
was her commanding officer. He said
he called the attention OF Lieutenant
Childs, another inspection officer at the
yard, to certain defects in the battery
cells.
He testified hat he did not report
the defects to Rear Admiral Little, but
talked the matter over with him. The
contractor. Lieutenant Moses, stated
objected to make any change in the
battery cells. Commander Latimer
counsel for Rear Admiral Little, raised
the point that the condition of the cells
did not constitute a defect in work
manship on the submarine, but was
due to construction by their makers, q
New York firm. which he said, had
been required by specifications to fur
nish them. The court went into execu-
tive session to discuss the point.

ARTHUR HOFFMAN GETS
A VERDICT OF $2,944

Chicago, Nov. IA verdict OF S2.944
obtained by Arthur Hoffman against
the Chicago National league club was
confirmed today in the appellate court.
Hoffman was with the Cubs under a
contract dated February 90, 1911, which
provided for a salary of $1,000 a year.
On May %, 1912, he was notified by
telegram that he had been transferred
to Pittsburgh and that the Pittsburgh
club would be responsible for the SAL
airy. The evidence showed that during
the remainder of the season Hoffman
received only s697 from the Pittsburgh
club, and that he did not enter into
any contract with it, relying upon the
telegram from the Chicago club.

the Theme of Hades.

Gov. James F. Fielder of New Jer-
sey smiled when reference was made
to realism. He said he recalled ar in
cident that happened in a little coun-
try church.
One Sunday night the good parson
of the aforesaid church chose Hades
for his theme, and even as he elo-
quently discoursed an absent-minded
member of the congregation began to
toy with a nickel-plated match safe.
Finally the matches caught fire and
the same was necessarily dropped to
the floor and covered with a large
foot.
1T is wonderful, Mary" whispered
an elderly woman to a friend in the
seal ahead OF the match-playing par
ishioner. st is simply wonderful!
Il suppose you mean the pastors
remarks, Sarah" responded the other
in a subdued voice.

shifting the sulphur-scented air, Il

TAKE UP LUSITANIA
CONTROVERSY TUESDAY
Negotiations to Be Resumed by
Secretary Lansing and
Count Bernstorff.

tons between Germany and the United
States regarding the sinking of the
liner Lusitania and other questions
pending between the two NATIONS will
be resumed tomorrow, when Count
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
will call upon Secretary Lansing at
the state department. The question of
indemnity for Americans lost in ths
sinking Of the Arabic is still unsettled
and probably will be taken up.
The belief prevailed among state de-
partment officials that Secretary Lans-
ing would officially make known to
the German ambassador the result OF
the examination of the steel fragment
picked upon the Allen liner Hesperian,
which naval experts believe was part
Of a torpedo. The German government
in a note has denied that the Hesperian
was torpedoed by a German submarine.

Justice McReynolds Holds

Washington, p. c.. Nov. 1.-THE Arf-

declared unconstitutional by the su
preme court of the United a
The supreme courts decision affrrns
the decision of q special circuit cs.art
which also held the law unconstitu-
| tional. Much attention was attracted
to the cas- because several foreign

law and because of it's similarity 70

restricts the ownership of real estate
| by Japanese.
While not exactly like h California
| situation, many lawyers have looked
| forward to the Arizona decision for
what indications it might give of what
view the highest court might take OF
the California law II 1T ever got INTO lit
igation.
Ar Initiated Law.
The Arizona law was enacted by n
initiative vote of the people of Arizona,
and made it unlawful for any employer
OF more than five persons to employ
less thar so per cent qualified, electors
OF citizens of h United States. The
case passed on by the cour was
in which an Austrian waiter in Bis
bee. Ariz., sought to enjoin his en-
ployer and the state from enforcing
the law as to him. Justice Hughes. IN
announcing the courts decision said ft
already had been established that

the equal protection of laws.
And hat means equal laws Tor
aliens and citizens" he added.
Discriminatory. Says Hughes.
Justice Hughes declared that the law
was Justly described in the title as an
act to protect citizens againt nonciti-
zens. He added hat that was in con-
fict with that personal guarantee OF
liberty accorded alience by the con-
stitution. The law. he said. would y
clude aliens from Arizona as aliens
could not live where they could not
work and the result would be that al
though the United States had the pow
er of admitting aliens to the country
the state could keep them out by such
legislation as the Arizona law. He said
it was no answer to say that some
aliens could be employed, because II
the state had the power to fix the per-
centage to be permitted to be employed.
it could regulate that percentage with
out restriction. No just reason OF
public safety, he said, had been adj
vanced to justify the law.
Justice M~cReynolds alone dissented
on the ground that the suit to enjoin
the enforcement Of he law was one
barred by the constitution, because it
was one against the state.

ceived here from official sources in
China makes it appear that the
triumph of the monarchical idea in the
elections now in progress in China is
almost certain and 1t is impossible that
the change in the form of government
will be announced before the end OF
the year.
State department advices are to the
effect that elections are now in prog
ress in no less han 1900 counties
where the electors are now choosing
delegates to provincial conventions
which will meet at the local capitals.
These conventions will select delegates
to meet as a national convention at
Peking.

cided to refrain from any action at this
stage and a SO informed the diplo-
matte representatives of Great Brit
ain. japan and Russia. who feared an
other revolution in China as the re-
! suit Of the overthrow Of the republic.
