ins ' the South Dakota.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18. In ths
gray mist of a rainy morning the At
lantic fleet sailed out through the Golden
Gate today on Its way to visit various
porta in Puget Sound. On its way up
the coast the fleet will Fail close to the
shore at certain points In order to give
the people of Northern California and
Oregon an opportunity to view the long
line of fighting vessels under way at sea.
The ships will arrive in Puget Sound
on Thursday, the Minnesota, Missouri
and Ohio dropping anchor at Port An
geles: the Illinois and Kearsarge an
choring at Port Townsend; the Connecti
cut. Louisiana, Kansas, Vermont, Geor
gia. Virginia. Rhode Island and New

the Bremerton Navy Yard.
On Saturday. May 23, fifteen of the
nhfps will rendezvous at Port Townsend
and proceed thence to Seattle for a four
days' stay. On May 27, twelve of the
big fighting craft will go to Tacoma,
eight of them will make a brief stay be
fore sailing for San Francisco. The
other four will stay at Tacoma until their
return to go into drydock at Bremerton.
Thus, eight will drydock on Puget
Sound, the other eight at San Francrsco.
Admiral S perry in Command.
Anchors were lifted from San Francis
co Bay at 11 :J0 A. M. today and the
fleet got under way for the first time
under command of Rear Admiral Sperry.
The reorganized -divisions took their re
spective places behind the flagship Con
necticut and the new order of things
went into effect. The veteran ships
Maine and Alabama, units of the long
crulee from Hampton Roads, were miss
ing from the line today, their places be
ing filled by the Nebraska, a ship of the
Georgia class, and by the Wisconsin, sis
ter ship to the displaced Alabama. The
Maine and Alabama will set out for the
East, .by way of the Philippines and the
Suez canal on June 15, sailing as a
special service squadron.
Several thousand people stood in the
rain on the hillsides to witness the going
of the fleet this morning, and while the
picture was robbed of the flashing colors
painted by the sun, there remained much
of the impressiveness and display of
fighting strength that go with this won
derfully self-reliant force.
Only Two Ships Ift.
The sailing of the Atlantic fleet left
only two ships of war anchored in the
place where over a little more than a
week ago the Secretary of the Navy re
viewed the greatest number of ironclads
ever brought together uiyler one flag.
The Alabama and the cruiser South "Da
kota, the latter being busy with the
grimy work of coaling after her success
ful three days trial trip which ended
Saturday afternoon, were the remaining
ships. The Maine Is at Mare Island.
The performance of the South Dakota
In steaming 22.36 knots for four hours
under forced draught and 20.36 knots for
24 hours, is at tract ingniuch attention
in naval circles. The big cruiser was
displacing 1100 more tons of water than
when she underwent the builder's trial
and her total displacement was Just
short of 15.000 tons, more than 1000 tons
of weight being on board in excess of
the planned displacement of cruisers of
this type. Under "these conditions the
fast time made was most gratifying to
the officers of the ship and the members
of the official trial board.
FLEET 1MPHOVED BY VOYAGE
Metcalf Sajs Effect Also Good on
Offii-ers and Men.
WASHINGTON". May IS. Twenty-four
battleships will he reviewed by President
Roosevelt In Hampton Roads February 22
next, the date of the return of the At
lantic battleship fleet from its world
cruise. Secretary Metcalf. who has
Just" returned from reviewing the fleet
at San Francisco, expressed himself
today as deeply Impressed with the
benefit the cruise had on the ships'
officers and men.
"It is remarkable," he said, "the long
cruie should have benefited the ships,
but this is a fact. The condition of the
machinery is said to be improved instead
of deteriorated by the voyage. This is
hardly more striking than the effect the
voyage has had on the officers and men.
The officers have been impressed with the
efficiency of their ships as never before,
and what is mora satisfactory, the
voyage has developed an understand
ing, and friendly cordiality between
the officers and enlisted men. which
has not before existed, and even still
more important, an improved condition
in the conduct and feeling of the en
listed men themselves.
"I have no hesitancy in saying that you
could not pick at random 20,000 university
men throughout the country who would
give a better account of themselves than
the 20.000 men who constitute the per
sonnel of the fleet. The enlisted men of
the Navy are a very different class of men
from formerly. The average age of
the men of the fleet seemed to be not
more than 23 years. They come from
the interior of the country and are en
ergetic and self-respecting.
"Still another apparent benefit of the
cruise Is the advantage to the fleet which
will result in the genuine rivalry and
competition between the ships as to coal
consumption and gunnery. This alone is
a most valuable result."
Launch Naval Collier Today.
NEW YORK. May 18. With cradles and
slkiing ways in position, everything is In
readiness for the launching of the vessel,
a 12.500-ton collier, at New York Navy

that 25.000 persons will be In the navy

ter of Rear-Admiral Goodrich, christens
the vessel. Many noted guests have been
Invited and the collier s workmen will cel

Site for Pearl Harbor Drydock.
WASHINGTON, May IS. Captain Sea
ton Shroeder will be president of a board
of naval officers which will convene at
Honolulu on the arrival of the Atlantic
fleet there, whose duty it will be to make
recommendations regarding the location
of the proposed new drydock and repair
shop at Pearl Harbor. Congress at its
present session made an appropriation of
il.000.0no to begin work. An Important
question, for the consideration of the
board will be the locations and dimen
sions of the dock.
ATTACKS 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Unknown Man Frightened Away
From Assault by Housemaid.
An unknown man made an attack on a
S-year-old daughter of B. C. Meara. 658
Everett street, yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, after enticing her into the base
ment of the family residence. The timely
arrival on the scene of a housemaid put
the man to flight," and the child was not
injured.
The case was reported to the police.
The man is described as being about 30
years of age: 6 feet, 10 Inches tall and
weighing about 190 pounds. He was
dressed in a reddish gray suit of clothes
and a soft black hat. Officers have been
detailed to try to find and arrest him.
PLATT'S WAYS AS A WOOER
(Continued From First Page.)
made public, because Mr. Piatt wanted it
to be kept secret.
"He would .not let me have a lady
friend with me," said Mise Wood, "for
he said 'what two women know Is no
longer a secret.' He wanted me to live
in the next room to him and say that I
was his secretary, but I refused."
Several copies of letters alleged to have

....i
been written by Mr. Piatt were then
read by Miss Wood's counsel. They
were addressed in terms of endearment
and signed, "your Tom."
In a letter from Washington, dated No
vember, 19)1, the writer told Miss Wood
not to worry about his children, as they
were all taken care of and that he
could do as he pleased. His first wife, he
wrote, had saved up something, and It
was divided between his sons and him
self, and he had told them he would not
take one cent of It. Another clause in
the letter was:
'I send you a thousand kisses for the
one you sent me."
On cross-examination Miss Wood aaid
she is 42 years old, was born In Michigan
and was married and divorced, and has
been a newspaper reporter, a school
teacher and a lawyer. She did newspaper
work in Omaha and also was admitted to
the bar in Nebraska. She last saw the
Senator (to speak to him) on August 18,
190t.
Counsel for Mr. Piatt produced letters
alleged to have been written to Miss
Wood by the Senator. In one of these
dainty letters the old Senator asked Miss
Wood why she didn't marry Mr. Middle
ton, and said he would like to 6ee her
marry before he "cashed in his checks."
In another letter the aged Senator took
Miss Wood to task for writing about "Ole
Janeway," told her that he knew all about
Mrs. Janeway, that Miss Wood was en
tirely willing and concluded:
"I have no intention of marrying Mrs.
Janeway. or any other woman."
Miss Wood denied that she ever re
tained Mr. O'Flaherty or Mr. Fulton, of
Richmond. Va., to prepare a case against
Senator Piatt, but said she had met them
and talked about the case. Thereupon Mr.
Piatt's counsel read a letter from the law
yers to the Senator, In which they de
clared they had been employed by Miss
Wood relative to a claim against the Sen-
atoi.
"The matter grows out of a promise of
marriage made by you to Mise Wood and
broken, as shown by your, subsequent
arriage to another person, says tne let-
tei
Suit to Recover Letters.
The defense also submitted a copy
of the legal petition in the District
Court of Douglas County, Nebraska,
entitled "Mae C. Wood' versus Rob
ert' J. ;Wynnt, William Loeb and J.
Martin Miller, defendants." On that
occasion Miss Wood sought to recover
$35,000 from the defendants on the
ground that through a conspiracy they
obtained from her' a large number of
letters which she had received from
Mr. Piatt, and which she purposed to
incorporate in a book which she had
planned to iseue under the title, "The
Love-letters of a Boss.
Miss Wood was led to tell of his
visit to her in October, 1903, Just be
fore Mr. Piatt married Mrs. Janeway.
She brought the Senator's letters with
her. She was met at the hotel, she
said, by J. Martin Miller, a eecret
service man, who, she said, practically
put her under arrest.
Miller, she said, took her down to
the office of Abraham Hummel, the at
torney, the following day. As a re
sult of visits to Hummel's office, she
said, she was compelled to give up the
papers and letters relating to Mr. Piatt
and was also forced to sign a receipt
for (10.000 in setlement of all claims
against him. She said that she did
not get HO.00O. but did get a portion of
it; just how much she did not state.
Mr. Stanchfield offered the release
signed by Miss Wood to Mr. Piatt. In
evidence. Counsel for Mies Wood ob
jected, but the release was admitted.
The case jvlll be continued tomorrow.
Complaint and Denial.
In his answer, the Senator declares
that Miss Wood's allegations that he mar
ried her about November 9, 1901, in New
York, are absolutely false.
"The plaintiff never made any clainrX
to me that she was married to me until
December. 1906." says Senator Piatt in
his answer, "nor did I. ever hear of her
making any claim of marriage prior to
that time, except that tn June, 1906. an
article appeared in a Chicago newspaper
containing an Interview purporting to
come from her. In which she stated that
such marriage had taken place, and that
article was accompanied by a picture or
alleged facsimile of a wedding certificate
containing my name In association with
the plaintiff's."
He declares that the certificate repro
duced In the newspaper was a forgery.
He charges that since 1906 Miss Wood
has tried to get money from him by
threats that she would sue him for breach
of promise of marriage.

TRUST HAS INNINGS
Denies Intention to Raise the
Price or Limit Output.
NO COMBINATION EXISTS
Officers Flatly Contradict Every
Statement of Publishers Offer
Proof Fair Wages Paid In
quiry Will End Tonight,
WASHINGTON, May 18. Officials of
the International Paper Corporation to
day occupied the witness-stand in the
investigation by the House of the wood
pulp and print-paper questions.
Tom It, Waller, second vice-president
and general manager of the sales de-
partment of the company, was the prin
cipal witness. He went into the ques
tion of contracts his company has with
different newspapers, and, said that the
increase In the cost of paper by his
company was due in no way to any
combination or pool, but was decided
on by the board of directors arter care
ful consideration. He complained that
the International Paper Company had
been accused, either directly or by In
ference, of a great many transactions
with which it had nothing to do.
Finish Inquiry Tomorrow.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
committee of the House held a session
tonight. It was unable to conclude the
testimony, but hopes to do so by to
morrow night.
"If the committee is going to make
a report recommending action by Con
gress, we should make it at the ear
liest possible moment," said Chairman
Mann tonight. "Of course. I don't
know what our report will be. but we
are all' anxious to get it before the
House as soon as possible."
W. A. Whitcomb, head of the manu
facturing department of the Interna
tional Paper Company, said $2.50 per
hundred pounds was a fair price to
charge anyone. There was no inten
tion, he said, to advance the price of
paper to 3 cents a pound. The raise
to $2.50 represented the extreme ad
vance. It was apparent, he continued,
that the company had tried to sell
paper at less than it cost to make it.
"o Combination at All.
"Do you know whethen there is any
combination, agreement or understand
ing among the paper manufacturers
to restrict thevoutput in order to hold
up prices or for any other reasons?"
asked Mr. Mann.
"I believe there is none whatever," re
plied Mr. Whitcomb; "at least we have
none."
Regarding the output of paper, which
Mr. Norrls said had been reduced since
the formation of the International Paper
Company, the witness gave figures to
show that there had been an increase in
the output of 10 per cent, since 1900.
To refute the statement of Mr. Norris
that the Crescent Paper Company was
not paying equitable wages. Mr. . Whit
comb submitted a list of 254 employes
of the Hudson River mills, one of the
properties of the International Paper
Company, who own homes at Palmer
Falls, N. Y., which they have bought
with their earnings from the company.
Did Not Divert Loan.
i
Mr. Llman, . assistant to the presi
dent' iof the International Paper
Company, testified that "Jthe statement
that the International Paper Company
borrowed $5,000,000 in 1905. with which
to build ten machines, and diverted it to
other uses is absolutely untrue."
STANDS BY NEGRO SOLDIERS
Bulkier Insists on Action Towards
, Restoration to Army..
WASHINGTON, May 18 In the Sen
ate today Bulkley, of Connecticut, called
up his bill for the restoration of the
Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth In
fantry, who were discharged without
honor hv the President h01.n1.aA r . i
Brownsville affray. Bulkley explained
that owing to the unavoidable absence
of Lodge, of Massachusetts, and Fora-
iter. oi unio, no would not do more than
call attention to his bill. He hoped to
again call it up. He said he was satis
fied the people of the country did not
approve the postponement of action un
til next December, as agreed upon by
the Senate. He declared if possible he
would secure action during the present
session.
DEFICIT TO BE $150,000,000
Appropriations of This Session Will
Total $1,026,000,000.
WASHINGTON, May 18. The 60th Con
gress will have earned the title of a
"billion-dollar" Congress at its first ses
sion before adjournment is taken at the
end of the week.
It la estimated that the appropriations
will reach the prodigious sum of $1,026,000,
000, which is said to be the largest amount
ever appropriated at a single session. The
various items contributing to make up
this prodigious aggregate Are as follows:
Sundry civil, $120,000,000; legislative, ex
ecutive and Judicial. $33,000,000; Army $95.-
3R2.000: postofflce, $221,766,000: pensions,
$163,000,000: fortifications, $11,500,000; agri
culture. jll.M7,ooo; District of Columbia,
$11,500,000; diplomatic and consular. $4.0lX.-
000; Naval, $122,662,000; Indian, $9,000,000;
urgent deficiency, $26,000,000; public build
ings. $25,000,000; general deficiency, $17,000,
00; Military Academy, new immigrant sta
tion at Philadelphia, relief of cyclone suf
ferers in the South, etc., $1,500,000; per
manent annual appropriations, $154,000,000.
These appropriations are for the fiscal
year, which begins July 1, 1908. It is too
early to give anything like an accurate
estimate of the revenues of 'the Govern
ment during that period of 13 months, but
members of the appropriation committee
think it will read somewhere between
$850,000,000 and $900,000,000. This would mean
a deficit of between $126,000,00 and $175,000.
000. Chairman Tawney, of the House com
mittee, warned the House last week that
the deficit would reach $150,000,000, and if
this prediction Is fulfilled, the surplus
now In the treasury will be wiped out by
June 30, 1909. inasmuch as at the end of
this fiscal year there will be a deficit of
between $60,000,000 and $65,009,000.

Deposits Secured and Eventually
Will Be Paid, hut Meanwhile the
City Has No Ready Money.
PITTSBURG, May 18. The closing
of the Allegheny National Bank this
morning by the Controller of the Cur
rency was the direct cause of the fail
ure this afternoon of Carothers & Co.,
according to the statement of the lat
ter .firm. The decision of ex-Cashier
William Montgomery, accused of
wrecking the bank through the em
bezzlement of cash and securities, to
waive a preliminary hearing today and
to be held for the grand jury Investi
gation prevented the taking of any
testimony by United States Commis
sioner Lindsay and officially no light
was thrown upon his alleged pecu
lations. The City of Pittsburg finds Itself con
fronted with the possibility - of being
forced to issue bonds to raise money to
meet current expenses. The suspension
of the bank leaves the city with prac
tically no immediately available funds. '
William Stewart, president of the de
funct bank; Walter Chess, one of the di
rectors; Thomas Evans, of the Macbeth
Evans Glass Company; Robert McAffee,
secretary of the Commonwealth of Penn

the door shortly after 9 o'clock by Na
tional Bank' Bxaminer William L. Folds.
"Closed by order of the Controller of
the Currency and placed in charge of
William L. Folds."
That the bank would not open today
was generally stated in the morning pa
pers. For days it has been apparent that
the cashier's alleged misdeeds had se
riously disrupted the institution and the
actual suspension) this morning caused
little or no excitement. Quite a number
of depositors were gathered on Fifth ave
nue, opposite the bank, and when the
order of suspension, was posted, all read it
and then quickly disappeared. Cashier
Montgomery, who Is In the County Jail,
accused of embezzling $469,000 and the ab
straction of securities valued at $125,000,
will be arraigned in the United States

While Montgomery's peculations are
officially placed at $594,000, it is said the
