Etfdvisfv-elVtopttoah BIG FLEET HON Battleships Welcomed by Pres ident at Hampton Roads. He Reviews Homecoming Vessels on . the Mayflower Crowds on Excursion Boats Greet Sperry and His Men. Much Powder Burned In Saluting. Festivities Planned For Officers and Bluejackets. Our big world-circling fleet Is at home again. Riding safely at an chor in (he waters of Hampton Roads after a welcome such as never before warmed the hearts of returning sail ormen are the sixteen "bully" vessels that have sailed around the world. It In Impossible to resist the temptation to say that they look as "fit for a fight or a frolic" as they did when they sailed away from here more than four teen months ago under the command of Admiral Evans. When the Mayflower, bearing Presi dent Roosevelt and guests, Secretary Newberry, Assistant Secretary Batter lee and others, sailed down the har bor the guns of Fort Monroe told the thousands of visitors to these shores that the welcome to the fleet would begin soon. Saluting the President. When the Mayflower reached the po sition selected for her off Thimble shoal light her anchor was cast and tho party aboard prepared to await the coming of Admiral Sperry and his ships. Word was sent to the admiral that his commander-in-chief was wait ing for him. and the Connecticut hoist ed the signal for the fleet to follow the flagship In. Steaming at a fair rate, the Connecticut moved past the Mayflower, her guns booming out the presidential salute. The Mayflower responded, and the great naval review was on.' While the fourteen vessels of Sper ry's fleet that have made the circuit of the world, covering more than 42.000 mileR since they left here in Decem ber, 1907. received the greatest amount of applause, the two battleships which joined the fleet on the Pacific coast and the' vessels of Admiral Arnold's convoying squadron received their due share of attention. Probably the great est amount of applause greeted the ap pearance of the Connecticut, which was the flagship of the fleet through out the cruise, and the Nebraska, which made Its first appearance on the At lantic senboard. Twenty-Five Warships In Line. In reviewing the fleet the Mayflower occupied almost exactly the same pr Fition she did when the president bade godspeed to the sixteen battleships at tho beginning of the cruise. The fleet which saluted him Monday, however, presented a more Imposing appearance than the outbound armada. Then six teen warships sailed south; Monday twenty-five war vessels, Including twenty battleships, passed In review before the commander-in-chief. When the last ship had passed the Mayflower the presidential yacht weighed anchor and turned to take up her position between the Connecticut and the Louisiana. Hardly had she cast anchor again when boats were cleared from the sides of the vessels of the fleet nnd Admiral Sperry and the commanders and executive officers of the ships were rowed to the Mayflower to pay their respects to the president. After these official calls were paid and the naval men had returned to their cwn vessels the president visited In turn the flagship of each division and met and greeted the assembled officers and the representative enlisted men sent to pay the respects of the Jackles to him. DIRECT NOMINATIONS Governor Hughes and Chairman Wood ruff Express Contrary Views. In a speech before the Young Re publican club at Brooklyn Governor Hughes showed that party organiza tion, instead of being eliminated, would be strengthened by a Bystem of direct nominations. Under this sys tem, however, the governor said, the people will have something to say about who is to represent them In the organization. There will be a state committee, a county committee and a district committee just as now. Even the political boss will remain with us. Rut he will be a more docile creature than heretofore. Instead of hossjng fo" the interest of himself and his Immediate camp followers, he will boss for the best interests of the ppo ple and when he fails to do so, the people will have the power to choose another boss. Timothy L. Woodruff opposed the reform as such. The governor and Mr. Woodrrff did not enter into a de bate on the direct-nominations ques tion. They were merely the principal speakers at the Young Republican club dinner. The governor championed the Idea, Mr. Woodruff opposed It. The state chairman held that a system of direct nominations was not practic able at the present time. Open Market In Iron and Steel. An "open" market in the Iron and eteel trade was created when Elbert H. Gary, chairman of tho directorate of the United States Steel corporation, made an official announcement that the "leading manufacturers of Iron nnd Bteel have determined to protect their customers, and for the present sell at sui-h modified prices as may be necessary with respect to different commodities. In order to retain ttall Tatf'sVW of toe" busta-cSS. MANY VILLAGES DESTROYED Devastation by Earthquake In Rernot Mountainous Regions. The governor of Burujurd, a little town In Southwestern Persia, has eent out agents to Investigate the damage wrought by the earthquake of Jan. 23. This waa the disturbance that vas registered by seismographs around tho world, but the exact loca tion of which was determined only Wednesday of last week. Tho meagre reports that have reach ed Teheran Indicate that the devas tation was particularly severe In the mountainous region between Burujurd and Lurfstan province. Fifteen villages are known to have been wholly or partially destroyed and It Is estimated that the total num ber will undoubtedly be over 50. 8ome villages disappeared com pletely and no trace can be found of the hamlets of Bahrem and Leben. It Appears that not a single soul belong ing to these communities waB left alive, and only the rivers, mountains and broken valleys remain to tell the tale of this fearful convulsion of na ture. The fact that there were no foreign consuls anywhere In the neighbor hood accounts for the delay of nearly a month in the receipt of the news. GERONIMO'S FUNERAL Old War Chief Lies In Apache Burying Ground Near Army Post. Geronlnio, the old Indian war chief, was burled on Thursday In the Apache burying ground northeast of the army post at Lawton, Okla. The Rev. L. L. Legters, the Indian mission ary, conducted the services, which were as similar to the Apache system of burial as the clergyman thought proper. All the Apache prisoners of war In Fcrt Sill and the 200 warriors Joined In the slow precession that car ried the body of their old leader to the grave. Geronlnio died In the old faith, the religion of his forefathers which knew no white man's god. The sun was his conception of deity. Four years ago, when he feared that the injuries re ceived In a fill from his horse would prove fatal, he joined the Reformed church, but he was suspended from the church two years later because of excessive drinking, gambling and oth er Infractions of church rules. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY Usual Honors Paid to Memory of Fa ther of His Country. Although the celebration of the cen tennial of the birth of Lincoln haa overshadowed this year tho birthday of George Washington, the usual hon ors were paid Monday to the mem ory of the Father of His Country. As a legal holiday it was far more wide ly observed than Lincoln day, since the adoption of the latter day as a holiday has not become general In the greater part of the states. Washing ton's birthday is a legal holiday In every state except Mississippi. There, as elsewhere, the day was observed with exercises In the public schools. Mr. Taft delivered an address at the University of Pennsylvania, In Philadelphia, Governor Fort of New Jeisey spoke at the annual celebration of the Uiilon League club of Chicago, and Governor Hughes of New York was the principal speaker at the win ter convocation of George Washington university In the notional capital.

STANDARD OIL TRIAL Rehearing of Famous"Big Fine" Case Begun In Chicago. Legal Lights Representing Government and Defense In Retrial of Suit In Which Judge Landis Imposed Fine of $29,240,000 Scorea of Subpoenas la sued For Witnesses, Among Them Officials of Company. Chicago, Feb. 2.1. The retrial of the Vimous Standard Oil "big fine case" f.egan today before Judge Albert B. Andersou of Indiana in the United States circuit court In this city. The present proceedings constitute rehearing of the case In which the Standard Oil company of Indiana, a subsidiary company of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey (the par ent of all the Standard Oil companies) was fined $29,240,000 by Judge Landis for rebating. The famous fine was Imposed Aug. 3. 1007, and on July 22, 1908, the United States circuit court of appeals reversed the decision. On motion of the government the supreme court ordered a rehearing of the case. A brilliant galaxy of legal luminaries represent the two sides In the famous case. The government's Interests are In the hands of District Attorney Sims of Chicago, acting as special counsel, assisted by J. H. Wllkerson. Morltz Rosenthal, the head of the Standard's legal forces, who Is frequently referred to as the "highest priced lawyer in the United States," and John S. Miller, with numerous assistants, have charge of the oil company's side of the mat ter. Many Witnesses In Case. Scores of subpoenas have been is sued to witnesses In the case. One subpoena was Issued for President Moffatt of the Standard Oil company of Indiana. Other Standard Oil of ficers who have been served are G. W. Stahl, treasurer; John C. McDonald, auditor, and Edgar Bogardus, traffic manager. Other witnesses who are to appear are George Robert and C. Crossland, expert rate clerks for the Interstate commerce commission; Secretary Kil Patrick of the railroad and warehouse commission ; F. S. Holland, rate clerk for the Chicago and Alton railroad, and J. S. Howard, formerly auditor of the Chicago and Alton railroad. Bo gardus, Hollands and Howard were witnesses nt the previous trial. Each Shipment an Offense. The new hearing will differ from the old In one respect only the govern ment will not contend that each carlot constituted a violation of tho law. The government legal batteries will bo trained In an endeavor to convince the Judge and Jury that each thlpment perhaps a carlot, perhaps a train load was an offense. If successful In this line of argument, the Judge may fine the defendant a maximum of $10, 000.000, or a minimum of $500,000. The defense on the other hand will, It is said, claim that the settlements of freight charges constitute the alleged offenses. Of these, the" government alleges there were 36. on which fines of from $3(1,000 to $720,000 may be in flicted. CADET WOUNDED By Shot From Revolver That Dropped From Another's Pocket. Highland Falls.

New Haven, Feb. 23. Schools of tournalism, qualifications for newspa per work and newspaper Independence were discussed by Hart Lyman in the second and final of the Bromley lec tures at Yale. "Much," he said, "has been said for and against schools of journalism In recent years. Some may exist al ready and be useful. One with a large endowment and an ambitious design Is destined, I suppose, to come into existence In the not distant future. 1 am not one of those who think that ull the necessary training can best be obtained in the office of a newspaper. If there Is an occupation in which, more than In any other, largo knowledge of a great variety of subjects can be con stantly utilized to good advantage, it is journalism; and the more the novice knows the less he will have to acquire as he goes on. "But T do not believe that the prac tical work of a newspaper on the edi torial as distinguished from the me chanical side, that Is to say the pro duction, revision and effective arrange ment of Its contents under heads, can be practised to advantage anywhere except In the office of a newspaper." He said there never was a better time perhaps than now to beRln work on a newspaper. We have been living for a good many years In the age of quantity. In the near future a higher value may be put on quality. He was, If not convinced, at least hopeful that the next notable change In the news paper world will be a return to small er papei-B. in which, however, every element entering Into their composi tion may cost more than it does now, excepting the paper on which they are printed, which will, cost less because less of It will be used. There would come also, he thought, a clearer perception of what Is Intrin sically worth printing. If the country Is not getting tired of the "Journal istic scoop net" It ought to be. SUMMERS GIVEN DECISION Englishman Had Somewhat Better of Britt After Tenth Round. London. Feb. 23 Johnny Summers, the Engl'sh ptigilist. last night received the decision over Jimmy Britt of Cali fornia in a 20-round bout. The fight was held before the National Sport ing club and a big corwd was present, there being great Interest in the bout owing to the lively fight these two men had put up last November. On that ocasion the go was a ten-round affair and Britt was the victor. Last night Summers got the decision on points. During the early stages Britt did most of the leading, apparently Pt.irt Ing out with a view to securing a knockout. He made the mistake, however, of holding In clinches more than is usual In England, and came in for much adverse criticism and several warnings from Eugene Corrl, who offi ciated as referee. Britt also had the misfortune to slip twice to the floor when engaged In lively mlxups, and these falls were almost as effective in taking the speed out of him ns though they had resulted from a right or left swing. Up to the sixth or eighth round Britt had the lettr of the bout, but from that time Summers improved and hon ors were even at. the close of the tenth. After that, although strong, the Eng lishman had somewhat the best of him and the decision In Summers' fa vor was a popular one.

Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 23. Court ad journed In the midst of the cross-examination of John D. Sharp, co-defendant with Colonel Duncan Cooper und Robin Cooper, now on trial for slaying ot former United States Sena tor Edward W. Carmack.
