FAR EAST TODAY ' Leavetaking of Pacific Coast ; Will Be of Informal I Character. ; FIRST STOP AT HAWAII j Honolulu Preparing to Give Battle- ; ships a Royal Welcome Patrols j Round l"p All Stragglers on t Last Day Ashore. SAN" FRANCISCO, Jufy 6. Shore leave ; tor the men of the Atlantic battleship ileet came to an end at 7 o'clock this morning and the few sailors that have i been seen about the city's streets today were attending to the last duties peculiar , to the sailing of naval vessels. The pa i trols were out In force all day and are 1 still on duty tonight rounding up the ! last of the crews; but the majority of ' that work was done lea't night and there , are few of the sailors who will be left I behind when the fleet hoists anchor, and gets under way at 2 o'clock tomorrow i afternoon. ; San Francisco will take no official I notice' of the departure of the fleet. No holiday has been declared: but for all that there will be thousands of patriotic i Americans posted on the cliffs that flank the approach to the Golden Gate, and the . big fighting ships will not lack for hearty ' cheers and fervent good wishes when they , head out Into the Pacific on their way ' to the Far East. J Formal Ion for Cruise. , It is probable the fleet will adopt the same cruising formation that was fol- lowed out on the trip around from the I Atlantic and with the Connecticut show- lng the way will steam across the ocean t in single file, at proper cruising interval i between ship and ship. This will string the IS battleships' out over many miles i of sea and by the time the last ship sweeps out through the gate the Con , necticut will be hull down , on the west 1 horizon. a dwindling, obscure speck in the declining sun. t From Honolulu the word has come that ; a rouBlng welcome Is in store" for tho men and offirsrs who are working tho i ships on fhe'lr way around the world. Never in the history of the islands has i there been such a sight as will be seen ; when the big ships drop anchor In the nar , row fairway: and Honolulu is planning to make it a red letter occasion for all ; concerned. , Hawaiian Fully Posted. By mea is of the auxiliary vessels ! already ploughing their way across to the Islands far In advance of the fighting ; ships, the Hawatlans will be kept fully posted on the progress of the fleet and ; when the men on the Connecticut first ! spy the dim outline of Diamond Head, . the outpost of the group, they will doubt- less see a host of pleasure craft sweep . lng out to them bearing the greetings of 1 the warm heartd islanders. Today Rear-Aiimlral Sperry, commander i of the fleet, received the following mes J sag? from Governor Frear at Honolulu: i "Hawaii wishes you and your officers and men a good voyage and awaits you! , arrival with tho keenest Interest and heartiest welcome." ; Immaculate in white aTitl buff, the 16 i. great fighting machines present a striking ' picture as they ride to their anchors on ; "Man-o'-War Row." The great guns glowering from the turret casements have been polished and polished again until , the beams of the morning sun strike an- swering fires from each glistening mon '. ter of the lot. Clouds of dark smoke ! have been rolling up from the Torest of funnels ever since break of day, telling 1 of .the work that is going on down in . the depths of each ship. Launches are . flitting fro.n ship to ship and from ship to shore on countless busy trips, carrying ' last messages to and from the men who ; are taking Uncle Sam's big sea fighters around the world and back again. Ships Well Provisioned. ( The markets of this city have been . taxed to their limit to supply the fleet ' with stores that cram the lockers. Enor--mous quantities of coal have been fed into the yawning bunkers and down In the magazine roonls great projectiles and mighty charges of powder 'have been stored, tier on tier. , Three cases of typhoid fever were re ' ported yesterday on the Nehraska. The sick men were, removed to the Marine Hospital here. The formal presentation of 16 portable organs, one to each ship, was made yes terday.

The break in to diplomatic relations between the United States and Venezuela, which resulted in the withdrawal of Jacob Sleeper, the American Charge d'Affaires. from the Venezuela capital, is more complete than was at first generally supposed. The full text of diplomatic notes which passed be tween Mr. Sleeper and Dr. Jose de Jesus Paul, the Venezuelan Minister of For eign Affairs, subsequent to the withdraw al of Mr. Sleeper, indicates that not only are the friendly relations interrupted, but completely severed. In his letter notifying the Foreign Min ister of his intention to leave the Vene zuelan capital. Mr. Sleeper wrote that in view of the Venezuelan government's per sistent refusal to give -redress "for the governmental action by which all Amer ican interests have been destroyed or confiscated," and "in view of the tone and character of the communications received from the Venezuelan government," he believed that the further presence in Caracas of the diplomatic representatives of the United States subserved no useful purpose. Dr. Paul's reply to this communication was made in the same tone which char acterized pre-ious communications made to the American representative." It is declared that President Roosevelt had persisted in asking redress for American interests and individuals with out any justice and right, and that Ven ezuela is not blamable if it does not per mit the Nation to be 'wrested of its rights." A request for safe conduct made In Mr. Sleeper's letter is reused on the ground that as no state of war exists, the Venezuelan government did not con sider it necessary or fit to grant it.

CANNERY MAKES DEMAND Will Not Pay Three Cents for Royal Annes Unless Farmers Agree to Terms Due to Transient Baying. SALEM. Or.. July 6. (Special.) The leading cherry-growers of this vicinity were astounded today when the Salem cannery informed them that their Royal Anne cherries will not be bought at 3 cents a pound unless they will sign a three-year contract on a 3-cent basis. The proposed contract names 3 cents as the price, but provides for a higher price if the condition of the canned goods market from year to year will warrant. So far as learned none of the growers have signed the contract and several have said they will not do so. The reason given by the cannery man agement for this move was that the can ning company must know what fruit it can depend upon and must not be sub ject to the competition of transient buyers. The position of the canning com pany is that the cannery should not be compelled to meet the prices of buyers who come here for- only part of a sea son and purchase varying quantities of fruit. In order to be protected against such competition the cannery wants term contracts. The growers, however, take the view that competition is what they want as a regulator -of prices. Some time ago a number of the leading' cherry-growers organized a pool and proposed to sell their fruit where they could get the best price. Some of the members of the pool look upon the new move of the cannery as an effort to break up the or ganization. . As cherries are now ripe, the growers are anxious concerning the attitude the cannery has taken, and it is expected that tomorrow will witness a contest over the question of signing the three-year contract. A number of the growers are con templating drying their fruit instead of selling to the cannery. File Right-of-Way Suits. ABERDEEN, Wash., July 6. (Special.)

GEIS MAY BE WRONG MM WITNESS FAILS TO IDENTIFY . HIM AS POISONER. Police Rely on Suspicious Facts to Fix Wilson's Murder on Prisoner. PHILADELPHIA. July 6. While the police continue to express the belief that Frederick Gels. Jr.. who was arrested last night on suspicion of knowing some thing about the death of Dr. William H. Wilson, who was murdered by drinking poisoned ale on June 26, Is the man they want, developments today do not add strength to their belief. William Olmsted, an employe of a typefoundry, who sold a letter "S" used in letters printed by the man bslieved to be the murderer, con fronted Geis at the City Hall today and failed to Identify him. The letter "S" was used in a printed letter sent to the Coroner by the supposed murderer and also was used on a stamp on the bottle containing the ale. Gels is not directly accused of having caused Dr. Wilson's death, "but the police say he answers so closely the description of the man wanted that they were com pelled to detain jiim. After a prelim inary examination of Geis at midnight last night. Superintendent of Police Taylor said: "While the case against Gets is cir cumstantial, I am quite sure he knows all about the murder, although he. de nies all knowledge of it. As a result of information we have received, I can say that another arrest, that of a doc tor, will be made as soon as we can find him. "We will also have here to confront the suspect Fred Buckman, the express agent who received the package of poisoned ale sent Dr. Wilson." According to the police, the man who caused the death of Dr. Wilson com mitted the crime because the physi cian performed an Illegal operation on his wife, which resulted in her death. Gels' wife recently died, and the po lice say she had been under treatment by Dr. Wilson. Gels' wife was former ly Miss Elizabeth W. Alexander, a school teacher. They were married se- cretly last January, and the marriage HOHE'FURNiSHm QUALITY and not only Quality, but PRICE Our low expenses and lower rents are what enable us to make a combination of quality and price which cannot be equaled by any dealer in the city did not become known even to the parents of the couple until near the time of the young woman's death. The police claim they have witnesses to prove that the young woman had been treated by Dr. Wilson, and they fur ther say there are many circumstances in the short married life and in the death of Mrs. Geis which prompted them to arrest Geis. Geis says that his wife died June 19 of Bright' disease, while the police claim that she died about June 6. The date of the death of the woman is important, be cause the letter "S" which was used to bottle the poisoned ale was purchased on June 15.

I had frequent siok headaches, which lasted all day and when I got np in the morning I often had dizzy spells. I had a backache all of the time, was without an appetite and could hold nothing on my stomach. My blood was watery and poor and I was troubled with palpitation of the heart. My people were afraid I was going into consumption. "The doctor did me no good and then my mother bought some of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills. I took two boxes at first and gained in strength. I con tinued using them until fnlly restored to health. My system was built up and I haven't seen a day of sickness since." Parents of girls who go into decline as they reach the period of development should not neglect the first warning symptoms for the whole future health of the child depends upon the way in which the child passes this critical time.
