PRICE TWO CENTS. II IN. AM. GREAT NAVAL REVIEW Fifty one Vessels of Many Types in Brilliant Pageant Pass Before the President. BOOSEVELT MAKES SPEECH OYSTER BAY, N.

Sept. 3. More than one third of the fighting and floating force of the navy saluted its commander in chief, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, in the sound oft here today. It was a stately but simple show. Its domi nant note was of great dignity.

It was the most Imposing pageant the Western hemisphere had ever wit Iiessed. It marked the advent of the United States into third rank among the nations of the world as a fighting but Deace lovine nower A combined fleet of fifty one naval keels, representing every type of ship in use in the navy, except a hospital ship and a machine ship, greeted the president and a Vast throng of sight eeers on hundreds of yachts, excursion coats, launcnes ana rowooats In as dramatic a stage setting as Old Boreas ever arranged When the president reached his yacht, the Mayflow er, in an open launch, a drenching rain was falling upon him The band had not finished playing the Star Spangled Banner, after he had stepped upon the deck and the presidential sa lute had scarcely begun when the Weather god became a wizard and tore aside the clouds in an instant, flood ing the ships with glorious sunlight. It was almost as if some unseen pow er had torn "The azure robe of night' a dreary day that practically ap proached the gloom of night to bathe the stars of Old Glory with a rare Jbrillianey. It was like a stage set ting. The lights were down, the star of the occasion came upon the stage the music began, the curtains parted and there stood out revealed, the vis ible sign of a great nation's physical Btrength.

And every vessel seemed to Jump Into the lime light at once. Up to that time the assembled fleet in the darkened mist and rain resembled In the distance the appearance of fac lories, painted white with big, yellow emoke pipes and decorated for a holi day. They looked as if they might be trying to give a representation of Bpotless Town afloat, but when the Bun burst through, and the bright col crs of the dressed the gleaming Bides, their beautiful alignment in three lines reaching for nearly three Wiles to the westward with a green Betting of the Long Island hills and bluffs for a back ground, was repealed, cheers upon cheers arose from the multitude afloat, and just at the moment when the president was offi cially in command. Then was fully disclosed battleships, armored cruis ers, protected cruisers, gunboats, torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo boats, submarines, despatch boats and the president's yacht, beside auxllliary vesels that included colliers, a provi sion ship, a water ship and a cruiser laden with marines. With this brave show, for those who had ears to hear there was one noise that rose high and vibrant above the roar of the cannon, the blare of bands, the tooting of whistles and the cheers of the multitude.

It was the. stream cf the American eagle. The bird of freedom simply stretched out his neck end let 'er go. It was not his Fourth of July scream, which every American recognizes as soon as he hears it; not a scream of victory over an enemy in war, such as the eagle more than once has uttered; It was a scream of pride because the United States had finally arrived at a first class naval power, tangible evidence of which existed before the eyes of all who had come to see. There were fifty one naval vessels the pageant, forty three of which were fighting ships.

They ranged from the massive battleship Rhode Island ot 16,000 tons, costing $3,000,000, and from the powerful and fast armored cruiser like the West Virginia of 15,000 tons, costing $5,800,000, down to the sub marine shark of 120 tons, costing probably $150,000, JThe.eombined cost of the ships so fa, ell rielAtruction was concerned wasvlrone Sc more than 11125,000,000. Vr There were 15,235 men on the fleet, Including 800 officers, If each ship had its full complement, and most of them did. This means that there were enough men afloat on the warships to supply a city of 90,000 people with men. There were something like 1,100 guns on the combined fleet. The doings of the day were of the Simplest kind.

The president passed through and around the line of ships, anchored in three linos each forty five yards apart. Then the Mayflower anchored and the three admirals of the fleet and all the commanding officers called on him and had luncheon. Then the president visited the three flagships and troop ship Yankee, Just back from a year's arduous work In Dominican waters, where he made a speech to the marines. Then he returned to the Mayflower and spent the afternoon and the early part of the evening on board, remaining long enough to witness the electrical displays on the ships and an exhibition of their search light work. The fleet was called officially the United States Atlantic Heet, under command of Rear Admiral Robley Evans.

Man Who Put Rice Murder on Patrick Recognized by Friend. GALVESTON, Sept.

3. Charles T. Jones, one time valet to the millionaire William M. Rice, for whose murder Lawyer Albert Patrick has been cop victed, has been aeen by an old acquaintance near his home at Cove, Texas. Ever since Patrick introduced witnesses who swore thatv Jones falsely swore Patrick's life away Jones has been sought, but never found.

He disappeared nearly a year ago, and while it is believed he has visited his home since then, his relatives deny having seen him. Notwithstanding their denial, they admit that they no longer mourn him for dead. After Jones was seen by this acquaintance he was sought at his father's house, but the father declared his son had not been home for many months. He said he was certain Jones was not in Texas. The officers here say Jones's arrest is worth a large reward and they believe they have a clue to his hiding places.

The man who recognized him says Jones has grown a heavy beard and looks prosperous. WILL ASK MOROCCO TO SURRENDER STENSLAND Looter of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank Arrested in Tangier Due to Intercepted Letter, CHICAGO, Sept. 3. Paul O. Stensland, arrested in Tangier, Morocco, today, will be brought to Chicago by Inspector of Police John Shippy, if President Roosevelt approves a plan adopted in Chicago late today.

The man who goes to' the port in Northern Africa the looter of the Milwaukee Avenue bank is in custody, must, according ito international custom, go armed with the authority of the United States government, received direct from the chief executive of the nation. It is possible an American war vessel expected at Gibraltar soon will be ordered to Tangier and the Chicago bank wrecker be dragged in irons aboard that craft and started horns ward. There is no requisition treaty between Morocco and the United States. It is figured none will be necessary, for the Sultan of Morocco, who is su prem in power, desires American friendship and it is figured he will ap prove any measure necessary to tne return to Chicago of the banker. Stenstand's capture in Tangier is due to an intercepted letter.

Washington, Sept. 3. Notice of the arrest of Stensland at Tangier was received by the state department today in a telegram from Mr. Gummere, the American minister to Morocco. He said that Stensland1 had been tak en into custody by the Moroccan authorities.

Governor Deneen, of Illinois, and State Attorney Heuly, at Chicago, united in a dispatch to the state department requesting that Minister Gummere bo instructed to secure Stensland's detention and extradition. There is no expedition treaty be tween the United States and Morocco and the surrender of Stensland could be secured only as an act of grace, as it is called in diplomacy, by the sultan ofi Morocco. In partial compliance with the request of Governor Deneen and Attorney Healy, Acting Secretary of State Adee sent a telegram to Min ister Gummere to sound the Moroccoan government as to its willingness to surrender Stensland. It is believed that the sultan will be glad to grant the favor. In that event officers des ignated by the governor of Illinois will be commissioned by President Roose volt as special agents of the United States government and sent to Tan gier to get Stensland.

It will be necessary for them to be provided with a certified copy of the indictment and evidence indicating the fugitive's guilt.

3. Joseph Gans, of Baltimore, the well known col ored pugilist, is still the lightweight champion of the world. After forty two rounds of fighting with Battling Nelson, the rugged Dane, here today Gans received the decision of Referee George Siler, of Chicago, on a foul. All through the mill Nelson repeatedly violated the rules by butting wkh his head, for which he was repeatedly warned, but in the last round, when he evidently realized that he was up against it for the first time in his life, he hit Gans below the belt in such a manner 'that the colored man fell to the floor in agony. The blow was clearly seen by nearly all those who were at the ringside and not a protest was heard when the referee's ruling was made.

More than 10,000 persons saw the mill, which was scheduled to go to a finish, and the gate receipts amounted to nearly $100,000, as $70,000 had been taken in before 11 o'clock this morning. Followers of pugilism came to this mining camp from all over the West and when the mill began excitement ran high. Gans was the favorite at 10 to 7 and thousands of dollars In bank notes and gold dust were wagered on him. Having been compelled to make all sorts of concessions, including a number of unreasonable ones imposed by Nelson's manager, Billy Nolan, in order to clinch the match, Gans had a host of followers who rooted for him tooth and nail. Nolan was inclined to make trouble up to the last moment, but Gans filled every obligation and then entered the ring to find that the Dane had made up his mind to win by fair means or by foul.

The men fought for the lightweight championship of the world, which both have been claiming persistently. Gans has held the title ever since he whipped Frank Erne in New York several years ago, but Nelson, because of his victories over Jimmy Britt, Eddie Han Ion, Terry McGovern and others In his class, has repeatedly heralded himself as the champion. Nelson would not agree to fight Gans for some time, because, he said, he drew the color line, but public. opinion, finally, forced him into the match which was decidedly so unsatisfactorily here this afternoon. Gans had to weigh in three times to satisfy the demands of Nolan.

He was scaled at 135 pounds with his street clothes on. Then he scalded at I3l1s. stripped to the'buff, and Just before the fnill started he weighed under the 133 t. i. i I'UUnU lllliiL Willi XI IM UgllLlUg lugs UI1.

Aelson weighed about 131. Both men looked well and strong when they tipped the beam. They battled for a $30,000 purse, of received $20,000, win or lose. The fight was to a finish, Queens bury rules, with George Siler referee. The ring was eighteen feet square with padded ropes and floor.

Each man posted $5,000 forfeit to make the weight, with an additional $5,000 forfeit for each pound over the lightweight limit. The seconds for Gans were Kid Sims, Frank McDonald, Bob Turner and Ben Sellg. Nelson's handlers were Eilly Nolan, Tim MeGrath, Young Kid McCoy and John Reid. The men were in the ring at 3 o'clock. Gans was the aggressor when the fight began.

He forced matters, driving home straight Jabs to the face and neck which brought a clinch. When they broke Nelson swung wildly. Gans stepped aside and then came back for a series of hard Jolts to the mouth and ear. Nelson was outboxed and outfought at every angle and did not land an effective blow. He was bleeding from one of his ears when he took his corner.

Gans had a pronounced advantage and seemed cool and confident. Nelson began the second round with a couple. of swings that were blocked. Then Gans uppercut him, piercing in the mouth as the Dane came in head down. The negro followed this up with a couple of terrific wallops that landed on the Jaw, but the battler did not seem to mind the blows and continued to come In.

Gans hammered him with left and right on the neck and in the body, at the same time protecting himself in superb style, but the rugged Dane was coming all the time and seemed os strong as a bull. Gans had this round too, his science being far superior to that of his antagonist. Again in the third round Gans landed nearly all the blows. In spite of the terrific punishment the white man finished strong. Nelson nose was bleeding when the gong sounded.

As the fourth round began, Nelson rushed with head down. Gans stepped back nimbly, but Nelson chased him around the ring and finally cornering the negro, he landed a terrible smash on the side of the head. A clinch fol lowwed and Gans broke out of it for a sprint around the ring. Nelson rushed ns soon ns he came up for the fifth round, Gans Jabbed the Dane's face and nose with straight lefts until the battler was bleeding freely. The white man got a fierce beating In this round and when he went to his corner the betting was 2 to 1 on Gans.

The crowd in the sixth round began to score Nelson roundly for boring In and butting Gans in the body with his head, but the Dane paid no heed. The negro literally cut Nelson's face into ribbons with his sharp Jabs. Nelson rushed in the seventh and was met with a fusllade of punches in the face that, drew the blood from his mouth in a torrent. Gans outfought him nt every stage. Gans simply toyed with his man in the eighth round.

The ninth round was also in Gans' favor. He landed four blows to ono of Nelson's. There was a sudden shift in the bat tle In the tenth round. As the men came together with a rush Nelson's second cried out: "Stick to him, Bat, don't let him get away." Nelson heeded this advice by rush ing to close quarters and getting home a series of great smashes on Gan3' mouth, the blood, this time pouring out in a torrent. Nelson saw by this time that the only way he had a chance with Gans was to stick close to him and fight him every moment.

So when the eleventh round began Nelson Jumped to close quarters with his head down. "He's fouling me," exclaimed Gans to Referee Siler, but the latter told him to go ahead and fight. Nelson was slugging with right and left now and was doing so much execution that Gans' seconds cried out: "Keep away, Joe; use your feet." Gans hustled around the ring after that with clevr footwork, but the Dane was after him every moment, driving in uppercuts to the stomach and solid blows to the head and neck. Gans had the worst of the argument and his face was covered with blood when the gong sounded. Nelson charged in the twelfth and they mixed it hotly In the center of the ring.

Gans broke away and then turned with a heavy Jolt in the eye. In another mix Nelson slipped to' the floor, Gans assisting him to arise. After that Gans was forced tq the ropes, where they slugged away right and left while the crowd went simply wild with excitement. As they got out of the tilt Nelson rushed again and butted Gans over the eye with the top of his head. The referee took no notice of this and the men kept on slugging to the bell.

Not a moment was lost in the thirteenth round. Nelson forced the fighting and gave his man a hard drubbing. Very few effective blows were landed in the fourteenth and those came from Nelson. They indulged in rough house tactics, wrestling, hugging and even kicking each other. The referee was constantly tearing them apart and when the bell rang they were still at It until their seconds Jumped into the ring and dragged them away to their corners.

When the fifteenth opened Nelson ran into a clinch. He used his elbows and butted Gans repeatedly until Siler told him that he would be disqualified if he continued. A hot mixup followed in which Gans scored the first knockdown of the fight with a terrific right to the aw. Nelson got up, his legs weak, and was in a hard clinch at the end of the round. The sixteenth round was hot stuff.

The men mixed it, then clinched. More mixing, then more clinching, during which both men fell clear through the ropNjs. When they got back into the ring there was another slugging and wrestle bee in which Gans had more" blood drawn! from his mouth, a moment before, time expired. No sooner had the seventeenth round begun than Referee Slier warned Nelson about hitting below the belt. When the fighting was resumed Nel son landed a couple of smashers in the kidneys which brought a rough clinch.

On the break, Gans got home a hot left uppercut on the mouth. Nelson was staggered with a wallop on the Jaw Just as the bell sounded. Nelson was cautioned in the eighteenth round about butting with his head which he had been doing all through the mill. It was an uninteresting match after that with only a few good blows landed, the round being so tame that the game sports about the ring yawned and jeered. There was another warning for Nelson In the nineteenth because of his butting tactics but the Dane kept on just the same until Siler pulled him away from a clinch and gave him a lecture.

The men rushed together with a crash in the twentieth and the referee grabbed Nelson's arm saying: "Slop boring in with your head down or you'll lose the fight on a foul." After that the fighting was cleaner. They boxed at long range. Nelson wound up the round by pushing Gans to the ropes where they were clinched when ordered to their corners. Nelson came up for the twenty first round with a badly swollen left eye and his other optic discolored. Gans mouth was puffed and his nose was bleeding Just a trifle.

They promptly' ran into a clinch which Slier hmkP and then they indulged in long range work, both evidently looking for second wind. The pace had been so fast that the men were evidently glad to get a breathing spell. Gans began the twenty second round with a left Jab on the mouth. Nelson rotorted with a couple of stomach punches and then wrestled the Baltimore man to the ropes. A long clinch ensued and when it was broken Gans landed several hard wallops on the Jaw that gave, him a clear advantage for the round.

Nelson was warned again in the twenty third round about boring in with his head. As they went at It again Gans crossed a right to the Jaw that Jarred mo Dane to the heels. Nelson rallied quickly and rushed in with surprising strength. He caught Gans on the neck with a ripping left hander and then hit the negro In ithe stomach with the right. The crowd jumped up and cheered Nelson to the echo as he sat down.

Nelsonj began the twenty fourth round with a quick rush, swinging both hands to the head. Gans was compelled to mix It at close quarters. Nelson battered his man, although Gans fought back plucklly the Dane had a shade the better of the round. Gans hnd an advantage when the twenty fifth ended, the men exchanging blows at long and short range when they were not Indulging in wrestling tactics. It looked like anybody's fight in the twenty sixth, neither man having anything to boast of.

Both were tired when the twenty seventh ended, as the pace In this round was gruelling. Nelson was groggy for the first time since the fight began In the twenty eighth round. Gans seemed to get new strength find quickly landed a solid smash on the side of the head, which was followed by a heavy body blow that almost brought the Dane to his knees. But Nelson revived and had (Continued on Page Eight) TSUI District Attorney Bell Puts Force at Work Criminal Prosecution in Trust Company Snarl Likely. PUSHING BANK PROBE PHILADELPHIA, Sept.

3. District Attorney Bell today plainly intimated that criminal prosecutions are likely to follow the investigation which he is now making, and as soon as his findings warrant it the men at whom the finger of guilt or liability points will be taken into custody. The startling condition of affairs as developed by the investigation of Mr. Earle impressed Mr. Boll with the immediate necessity of taking a hand in the proceedings, and, despite th3 fact that his time was taken up by preparations for the trial of the ice combine members, which is fixed for Wednesday, he laid all other duties aside and is now busily delving into the entangled affairs of the defunct banking institution.

If necessary, Mr. Bell will agree to a continuance of the ice cases in order to enable him to conclude the trust company investigation. Mr. Bell has called to his aid Assistant District Attorneys Taulane, Ken driek, Gray and Farr, and they began their work this morning. What matters he intended taking up first the district attorney would not say, but he made it clear that his investigation would be general and would touch upon all of the company's affairs.

In this probe Mr. Bell Is working hand in hand with Mr. Earle, and the latiter is lending whatever aid he can. The higher officials of the company and several of the directors will be questioned, and every one of th 3 big trans actions mentioned a9 being to blame for the collapse of tha company are being looked into. Sensational revelations can be ex pected, as the district attorneys de termined to amyloy every agoncjof his office to fepiny to light the true causes of and the persons responsible for the failure of the institution.

VISIT SUICIDE'S VAULT AGAIN. District Attorney Bell from his office In the Land Title building shortly before noon today telephoned for his as sistants, Gray and Taulane. to accompany him to the Real Estate Trust company's offices. The trio hurried inlo the safe deposit department, ac companied by Frank' W. Hippie and his, attorney, K.

C. Newburg. They proceeded to the vault in which the president left his private papers. Hippie's strong box had been opened before, but shed little light on his double dealings. Why it was opened today by the district attorney has not been made public.

None would proffer an explanation. Vice President Houston was disinclined to say much today. "We are working hard to rehabilitate the company," he declared. Asked what conclusion had been reached in tha Arling Brook Real Estate company deal, by which directors of the Real Estate Trust company are said to have loaned themselves $250, 000 of afflicted institution's cash, neither Mr. Houston nor Attorney Junkin would make a statement.

Neither William North, treasurer of the afflicted bank, nor Horace Hill, who last audited its accounts, was at the directors' conference this morning. Mr. North is in the city. District Attorney Bell was asked if the treasurer is under surveillance. He replied negatively.

He also denied that Mr. Hill is being watched by the authorities, as has been stated. Mr. North spent this morning at his home, and so did Mr. Hill, who lives at South Orange, N.

J. John H. Converse and former Judge Porter were present at the directors' meeting. Receiver Earle had nothing to make public other than the statement that those who deposited with the trust company last Monday and Tuesday may be reimbursed. He will meet such interests on Thursday.

John Spurhawk, Adolph Segal's counsel, was present at the receivership conference. He Is said to have submitted a proposition of settlement from his client. What terms the man who was favored with loans aggregating $5,000,000 of the bank's money has I to offer remains a present secret. Mr. Sparhawk would not deny that Segal has prepared overtures that may mean something to depositors.

HIPrLE'S DESK OPENED. Shortly before noon today the late president's desk was opened with the keys found in his pocket the morning blew his brains out. A lot of stock papers were found In It, but nothing that would Ihr light on his last movements, it is said. The papers represented the stock In the Morstook Mining company and a transfer book of the company. His personal ledger and check book; papers of the Seaside Home; the Sarah Carpenter estate papers; the treasurer's report of the Presbyterian, hospital, and other Ifresbyterlan interests were discovered.

Treasurer North visited the bank shortly before 1 o'clock. He said ho did not desire to make any statements, and wauld not discuss the Segal loans. An attorney, a close friend of Mr. 'Junkin and the dead president, declared he knew all about the Arling Brook transaction and that it was businesslike in every particular. "A mountain has been made of a mole hill," he said.

"The Arling Brook loan was secured doubly by collateral and the directors' personal guar antee. "The Real Estate Trust company will lose nothing from that deal," he Insisted. "Mr. Junkin has made a mistake by saying so little in reference to it. He has 'caused much unnecessary comment." In this world" you get kicked for being poor and cursed for being rich.

New York Press. TALK OF OMITTING BLACK STAMP Postal Authorities Experiment With Double Saving in View. WASHINGTON, D. Sept. 3.

With a view to the saving of expense and time, the post office department is experimenting with what is known as the back stamp on letters. This is the stamp which indicates the time of a letter's, arrival in the delivering office. For about six months the experiment has been made at Chicago with very satisfactory results. The services of about thirty clerks have been saved and the time of 'the delivery of letter mail to the recipients from the hour of its arrival in the Chicago office has been reduced from twenty minutes to two hours. It is proposed now to try the experiment in other large post of fices.

If it should be as successful as at Chicago the use of the back stamp probably will be eliminated entirely, The idea of saving time and expense is that of First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock and It was at hi instance that experiments were made Thus far not a complaint has been received from Chicago about the omis sion of the back stamp. Officials real ize the importance of the stamp a times, but the belief is growing that the value of the saving of time and ex pense in its elimination far outweigh that of its use.

S. The Daily Mail publishes an interview had by its correspondent at Nordernay with Chan cellor Von Buelow. The chancellor contended that although Germany had made great strides in the building of warships the navy was still very small In proportion to Germany's over sea commerce. It was, however, sheer nonsense to argue that Germany thinks she is ever competing with Great Britain for the mastery of the sea. She might as well be accused of wish ing to build a railway to the moon.

Regarding English suspicions that Germany Is trying to checkmate Great Britian wherever she can, the chancellor declared there was no foundation for them beyond commercial rivalry, which was as legitmnte as it was universal throughout the world. This was as true in connection with the Baghdad railway and Turkey generally as anywhere else in the world. He added: We are all commercial rivals in Turkey. I admit Germany possesses an advantage in Turkey ovpr some of her competitors, but it is one which nobody is likely to deprive them of except by excelling them in the one particular to which their advantage is mainly due." Referring the recent meeting of King Edward and Emperor William the chancellor said: "Acute political questions were not discussed for the simple reason that no such questions exist between Eng land and Germany. The meeting of the monarchs marked an auspicuous stage on the road to the gradual eliniT.
