Differences Over Plans or Battle
ships North Dakota and Dela
ware ICelate to Minor De
tails of Construction.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. The annua!
report of Admiral V. L. Capps, Chief
Constructor of the Navy, is very large
ly devoted to a review of the controvert-
over the plans of the battleships
North Dakota end Delaware. Admiral
I'apps disposes of various phases of crit
icisms that have been made of the plans
by declaring that the recommendations
for changes made by the Newport con
ference related only to minor details
over which there naturally would be dif
ferences of opinion and Improvement
from time to time.
Estimates for the conference and re
pair of vessels at navy-yard? and on
foreign stations amount to JS.SW.713. an
Increase of JS40.71.1 over the appropria
tions of the current fiscal year. The
amount estimated for construction and
machinery of new vessels authorized by
Congri-ss Is tl4.540.7W. the amount ap
propriated for the current fiscal year be
ing Ill.SK.Mi For continuing work on
submarine torpedo-boats, the construc
tion and limit of cost of which already
have been authorized by CongreES. an
estimate is made of Sl.SuO.OOO. the amount
appropriated for the current year being
J3.O0.0u0. For work on the two fleet
colliers heretofore authorized the esti
mate is $ilflO.0u0. the appropriation for
the current fiscal year being $1,500,009.
Embarrasses Work.
Admiral Capps refers to the lack of
adequate working facilities at many of
the naVy-yards for ships under repair
and says this condition continues to em
. baxrasa the Bureau and prevents the
prompt and economical performance of
work.
A strong recommendation is made In
' favor of limiting the extent to which old
.vessels are modernized. He says he be
' lieves it would be more advantageous to
! expend money in the construction of ves
sels of the latest design.
;after .butter combine
Consumers antl Federal Officials
May Investigate High Prices.
CHICAGO. Dee. 2. Efforts on the part
of the bull clique of produce men to ad-
! vance further the price of butter will
encounter vigorous opposition from con
sumers in general, dealers say. and It is
possible the Federal authorities will take
', action in the matter.
The suggestion that the Sherman law
might apply to this case was commented
upon by United States District Attorney
Sims, who said that although the Federal
authorities had never, to his-knowledge,
investigated combines seeking to control
, the butter market, the anti-trust statute
. was framed to protect the consumer from
unjust conditions.
, "If a conspiracy in restraint of trade.
affecting interstate commerce. were
' shown to exist, it undoubtedly would be
suppressed promptly by this office or
some other branch of this Government,"
' said Mr. Sims.
KAISER WILL BE SILENCED
Continued from First Par
todav, "morally responsible." a condition
whirh he described as mere Intangible
phraseology. The logical outcome of the
axiom that "the King can do no wrong,"
was that the King's Ministers should take
over the entire responsibility of the gov
ernment. v
If this axiom led to the mystical Idea
that the monarch personally was in
fallible, common sense would revolt.
But the Emperor, the speaker contin
ued, was not sovereign of Germany;
It was only as president of the fed
erated governments the he took a
premier position In the councils.
In conclusion. Herr Mueller proposed
that all five motions on the matter of
ministerial responsibility be referred to
a special committee.
t'hile Herr Mueller was speaking.
Trince August William, the fourth son
of the Emperor, and his wife, accom
panied by a numerous suite of officers
and ladies of the court, entered the
royal gallery. They came from the
University of Berlin, where the Prince
received his degree today, and re
mained during the rest of the day.
Socialist Causes Laugliter.
Herr Mueller was followed by Herr
Spahn, or the Center party, who sup
ported hl utterances. Herr Spahn de
clared that the time had arrived for
the ministerial responsibility to become
an actual tiling.
George Ledebour. Socialist, kept the
House In roars of laughter for over
an hour by reciting the extraordinary
lengths to which the Imperial Chan
cellor and the Emperor might go under
existing conditions. When railed to or
der for indulging in personalities, he
turned his phrase, amid general laugh
ter, into "ai.y Chancellor in any land."
Continuing, he said that Chancellor
von Buelow had not treated Parliament
in a proper spirit today by remaining
away. II.? should have been present to
hear the demand of the German Nation
that it be treated as an adult, for it
no longer required the guardianship of
an effete bureaucracy. The personal
clement In politics, said Herr Lede
bour, was the national accompaniment
of a sham, constitution.
Police Chief Fatally Injured.
RIVERSIDE. Cal.. Dec. I. Captain W.
B. Johnson, Chief of Police of Riverside,
accidentally shot himself at noon today
with a 44-Colt's revolver. Inflicting a
probable fatal Injury. Captain Johnson

HOW RUSTIN IS COOL
TELLS CKOS-KXAMIXEB ABOUT
LIFE IXSUBAXCE.
Dcrense of Davis Strikes Obstacles
to Proving Doctor Fired FataT
Shot Himself.
OMAHA. Xob., Dec' 2. Two women.
Mrs. Rustin and Hannah Dineen. a ser
vant In the liustin home, were the
principal witnesses In the trial today
of Charles E. Davis, charged with the
murder of Dr. Frederick Kustin. Mrs.
liustin had little difficulty in parrying
the severe cross-questions of Mr. Gur
ley. who forced her to identify Insur
ance policies on her husband's life,
which were incontestable In the event
of the person insured committing
suicide.
Miss Dineen, however, lost the com
posure which characterized her testl
many at the Coroner's Inquest and pre
liminary hearings and all but collapsed
during the direct examination by
State's Attorney English, and the ses
sion of court was suspended ten min
ute until she recovered. Miss Di
neen's testimony closely corroborated
that of Mrs. Kustin. and in addition
she testified to having sen a man
who resembled the defendant standing
near the Rustin home Just before mid
night, when she returned from a visit
to her sister.
Kustin DM X'ot Shoot Himself.
Technical testimony was given by
Dr. W. R. Lavender, who performed
the autopsy on Dr. Rustin'a body. De
spite the efforts of Davis' counsel. Dr.
Lavender was permitted to give ex
pert testimony, during which he ex
pressed the opinion that the shot which
killed the physician was not self
inflicted. The courtroom was filled to suffocation
bv a crowd that expected to see and hear
irs. Abbie Rice. She will not give, her
ti'ftlmonv until tomorrow.
Dr. Millard Langfeldt. who was a neigh
bor of Dr. Rustin. and was called by Mrs.
Rustin goon after the shooting of her hus
band, testified that the call came approx
imately at 20 minutes to 4. He said that,
although he had never heard her speak
before, he received the impression that
it was Mrs. Rustin talking. He could
not account for the impression:
Wife's Statement to Doctor.
After describing the condition In which
he found Dr. Rustin, he said:
"I asked Mrs. Rustin, 'How did this
happen?' and she answered that she heard
a shot and found her husband outside.
Nothing further was said on the sub
ject." During cross-examination the defense
tried-to bring out that from motives of
delicacy the witness refrained from in
quiring into the circumstances of the
shooting at the time, but the objections
of the prosecution were sustained. A
question aa to whether the wound could
have bean self-inflicted was also ruled
against.
Colfax Lead9 Shoot.
COLFAX. Wash.. Deo. 2. (Special.)
The Postal rifle match between the Col
fax Riflle Club and the Frankfort, Kan.,
team, is a close race. The third week's
shoot gives Colfax a lead of only 13
points. The match is for five weeks. 50
shots a week, five men on a side. The
totals for three weeks are: Colfax.
1S: Frankfort. 1300. F. A. Ireland, of
