who disappeared on the day of the mur-
der of Frau Molltor, Hau's mother-in-law
whom he Is accused of slaying,
shall bo found and examined before the
trial la allowed to proceed further.
A new point waa ralst-d in tha ease
yesterday afternoon when the Baroness
von Reltiensteln testified that aha saw
Hau, wearing a false beard, near tha
Molltor villa the night of tha murder,
but that aha also saw a man similar
In appearance to Hau. bat shorter in
stature at tha same time. This latter
man. who aha did not recognise, was
following Frau Molltor and her daugh
ter Olga.

gravity of hla refusal to answer tha
question.
When tha matter of tha suicide of
Hau'a wife waa brought before tha
court, the defendant said that he could
explain It satisfactorily. He said that
his wife had declared to him that she
would kill herself because she could not
bear to hear her family affairs aired
' In court Tha professor begged her not
to, telling her that her suicide would
direct suspicion against him.

(Continued from P's One.)
(Journal Special Serrlee.)
Washington, July SO The navy de
partment haa decided to order an ar
mored cruiser squadron, consisting of
tha Colorado, West Virginia, Pennsyl
vania and Maryland, from the Phlllp
plnea td San Francisco. It waa Intended
some time ago that the venaels should
rendezvous in Japanese waters, but In
asmuch aa the ships will coma to San
Francisco by way of Honolulu, they will
not go to Japan. The squadron will sail
from Cavlte about September 1.
This movement has nothing to do, thu
department officials say, with tha re
ported movement or a battleship squad
ron to the Pacific It may, however.
add to the great spectacular exhibition
which Secretary of the Navy Metcalf
had advertised for the special benefit of
the people of Bun Francisco and the Pa
'clflc coast. Then, again, theae four
ships may constitute the only great
spectacular exhibition which Metciflf's
constituents are permitted to see unless
they come east.
Contracts for nines.
The formation of another armored
cruiser squadron for the Pacific coast
has. already been announced. It will
comprise the Tennessee, Washington,
California and South Dakota.
Contracts have bfcen let -by tha chief
of artillery for nearly 12.000,000, the
full amount appropriated by congress,
for fire control stations, submarine
mines and accompanying apparatus to
work them, and searchlights to be used
In connection with the coast defense of
the porta of the Vnlted States and Its
possession's. A larife portion of this
mney is to be expended around Man
Frnnclsco. The work of providing sub
marine mine defense for some ports Is
being pushed forward niplrlly on both
the Atlantic and Pa Iflc coasts.
The plans contemplate the aowlng of
mine fields on the Pik-IAc count In the
neighborhood of B in Francisco, at Forta
Kutlnfnrri Hfott Milrv linker and Ho-
nlta. at Fort Kosiscrnns near San
Diego, at Korts Stevens and Columbia

1436.000 Is for the special benefit of
the Philippines an. I other insular pos
sessions, and the flrxt shipment will be
made In AuruhI. Contracts for trans
portation have already been made. There
Is no secret whatever In the movement,
which was planned before there were
even rumors of war In the east
The plans also contemplate the In
stallation of no less than 496 mines in
the approaches to Manila harbor and
of 209 at Sublg bay. At the Manila
mine fields It Is proposed to Install
two big searchlights, and at Sublg bay
one large and one small searchlight will
be installed. In buildings, electrfcal
apparatua and all kinds of material
needed for the proper Installation of the
mine fields contemplated at these two
points In the PhlllDnlnea It la expected
eventually to expend about $1,600,000.

Hundred and Sixty-Three
People Called to Prove
Their Loyalty.
(Jooriul Special Serrtee.)
Chicago, July 10. One hundred and
sixty-three Chlcagoans, among them
nine women, have been called upon by
the United States government to show
that they are not anarchists, possible
sssaaalns of public officials or destroyers
of organised government. Unless they
prove that they are not enemies of the
government, they will be stripped of
citizenship and will stand In danger of
Deing aeportea as a menace to society.
This unusual action by the govern
ment haa followed the startling discov
ery that through a loophole In the Chi
cago naturalisation machinery scores of
dangerous foreigners may have been ad
mitted to cltlsenshlp. One of the wo
men whose views on anarchy are being
challenged by tha government because
of her failure to make the necessary
affidavit is Everetta Patterson, a
school teacher. i
In addition to this line of prosecution
glgantio naturalisation frauds are being
investigated in Chicago by special gov

AT LONG BEACH
Disregarding the request of the city
council to withhold letting of contracts
for street Improvement In the Irving
ton district, which haa been in contro
versy between the bltullthlo and asphalt
Interests for some time, the executive
board yesterday awarded six streets to
the Warren Construction company,
agents for bltullthlo pavement This is
a signal victory for the bitulithic peo
jle In the paving war which has been
waged between the two firms, aa It
removes the principal weapon from the
hands of the asphalt converts uni
formity. 1
Both sjM ronght Said.
Both aides have made a determined
fight to gain control of the paving
work of the twenty or more streets In
the district which are to be Improved
with hard-surface pavement. First It i
was a conflict between the bitulithic
and the bituminous macadam interests,
the latter being led by Ellis O. Hughes.
Hughes later switched to the asphalt
pavement and haa supported that im
provement In recent meetings of tho
council street committee.
In the last meeting of the committee
Hughes succeeded In getting a recom
mendation for tha rescind m en t of all of
the work heretofore done by the council
for the Improvement of the district.
This meant that both bltullthlo and
bituminous macadam were to be ousted
from consideration and supplanted by
asphalt. Hughes promised to have over
two-thirds of the property owners in
the district sign for asphalt
However, an obstruction beset the
path of the 'asphalt people In the shape
of Councilman. Vaughn, and after an ar
dent speech trie latter was successful In
getting the question referred to the
committee on streets, whence It came.
Had the council voted for reaclndment I
the exeoutlve board would have been
unable to award the contracts, but In
referring It to the committee a hole was
left open for this action.
aw JTo Beaaon to Belay.
A request was made the executive
board to refrain from letting the con
tracts until the street committee could
make further Investigation, but the ex
ecutive board members could see no rea
son for this action, Inasmuch as the re
quest contained no argument In favor of
delay. C. A. Coggsvell thought the
matter ought to be referred to the ex
ecutive street committee, but his fel
low members were averse to doing this
and voted to award the contracts.
East Eighteenth, East Nineteenth.
East Twentieth, East Twenty-first,
East Twenty-second, East Twenty-third
and Thompson streets are the streets
which had, been advertised and made
ready for improvement at this time, and
which were awarded yesterday. The
present weather must be taken advan
tage of, the board members sav. and
no delays must be countenanced un
less the cauaes are good.
Talked to the Board.
R. W. Montague, representing the
Warren Construction company, talked
briefly to the board and explained tha
situation from the beginning, showing
that two-thirds of the property owners
In the district wanted bltullthlo pave
ment. He suggested that the petitions
presented by the people favoring bitu
minous macadam and later, asphalt
should not be considered, alleging as a
reason that the title vested in them.
George W. Simons, representing the
Pacific Bridge company, urged that the
Improvement be begun at once. He
stated that hla company had contracted
for dirt from these streets to fill por
tions of Vancouver avenue and delav In
starting them would mean loss of
money to his company.
Upon complaint of Mrs. Millie R.
Trumbull of the child labor commission
an Information was Issued this morning
from the office of the district attorney
charging R. J. Holmes, manager of the
Holmes Canning company with having
violated the child labor law. The in
formation la tha result of a visit made
by Mrs. Trumbull to the cannery a
couple of daya ago when she found
Helmut Breeder, a lad of tender years
or theieaboute engaged at work. Six
other boys were alao required to appear
before the district attorney and tell
their ages and whether or not they
were employed In the cannery. Broeder,
however, was the only one not over the
legal age of 16.
Upon the questioning of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Haney, Broeder admitted
that he had been working In the can
nery for a short time and that ha waa
under the age of It years. On this
showing and upon the request of Mrs.
Trumbull the Information waa filed.
