Without using his name, Mr. Taft re-fered to the remarks of United States D.n.t.. nl.nn recently, in which the President's veto of the Arizona-New Mexico statehood bill was called "the blackest act of tyranny ever committed on a free people." "I knew I was guilty of a good deal," the President said, "but I never knew I scribed by such lurid terms. I was de termined that when a new State entered the Union it should start with a proper appreciation oi me inaepenaence oi me Judiciary. The people of that State may not be cohvlnoed yet, but at least they know what I think.

Taft Proud of Vetoing Statehood Bills tor me for my act. Tbey have said It must have taken rare courage to veto the statehood bill.

I deprecate this kind of talk. I am a lawyer and a judge, and If I had acted differently from the way I did, I would have been unworthy of either title. I couldn't have done any-, thing but what I did. I wrote my veto out of my heart and I am proud and glad I wrote It." The President told the lawyers that hs didn't think criticism of the country's judges and the judicial system was Justified. "While the Judges here do not measure up to the high standard of elsewhere, still the record of the American bench as a whole 1b high.

What defects there are. are due not to the weakness of the Judges, but to the weakness of the peo-t pie. I sometimes think that the So cialists and Anarchists and the discontented ought to' hire a lawyer to pick out flaws In the system to TALKS HIMSELF INTO JAIL. rems' Long xongue uets mm into Trouble. That "unruly member" the tongue-was the cause of sending Harvey Ferris to Raymond street Jail to await examination In the Gates avenue court tomorrow morning.

The young man who lives at 1107 DeKalb avenue was arrested Friday night In front of the Empire Theater, by Detectives Cavanagh and Conway.

The mother of the girl received yesterday a letter from her daughter In whirh she said she meant to mary the man she loved. This, coupled with the statement of the detectives that they knew just where she was. caused a sudden subsi-Icnce of interest in the case.

vol lose sight. The taxable property of tne united States amounts to 8137.000.-000,000, and the expense of keeping up the Navy, adding four new battleships a year, would be about $137,000,000. That Insures your peace, and the rate of insurance is one dollar in a thousand. Isn't it a worth-while investment? "There is a whole lot In this idea of speaking softly but carrying a big stick at the same time. When human nature changes and a man ran trust his neighbor so that police forces are no longer necessary, then It is time to do away with your navy and your army." The officer called attention to the fact that for a hundred years England had preserved her peace by the strength of her navy.

"The navy makes not for war but for peace," he declalred, "and to have a mediocre navy would be useless." The yachts Halcyon and Observation on their sight-seeing trips around Manhattan Island offer an excellent opportunity to see the warships. Ail points of Interest are fully described by a lecturer. The starting point is Battery Pier, near South Ferry, daily at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. TAFT'S VISIT TO AID SEC.

MEYER'S PLANS Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, October 2S There is joy among naval officers over the fact that Secretary Meyer has been persuasive enough to induce the President to change bis mind on the subject of the big fleet review at New York and to secure his acceptance of the chance to review it, after he had already declined. Mr. Meyer met the President at the dedication of the naval training station at Lake Bluff, near Chicago, today, and soon after that came the news that Mr. Taft would be on hand to see the big naval demonstration in the Hudson.

It was a keen disappointment to the Secretary when it was announced about two weeks ago that the President could not attend. Mr. Meyer has long realized that there is prospect of a serious check in the upbuilding of the Navy and if he can arouse popular interest in It he proposes to do so by every legitimate means. He is leaving no stone unturned to accomplish this and, while his reorganization policies have met with bitter opposition, it Is generally admitted that the Secretary is one of the biggest boosters that the Navy possesses. With the President making a Western campaign for international arbitration and world peace, it seemed a little queer for the Navy Department to be forwarding plans for the greatest militant spectacle ever soen In this country.

Navy men realized it and they regarded the President's original intention to remain away as a wet blanket. But now everything is happy again. The appropriation situation at the coming session ot Congress will be materially helped out, so far as the Navy Department Is concerned, if Mr. Meyer can enlist a popular interest which will be reflected in the attitude of Congressmen. He not only wants the people to see the Navy, but he has invited the members of the Naval Committees of both houses to be present, in the hope of impressing them.

It will be hard to get money out of the House this winter but if there is any way to turn Chairman Padgett into a two battleship man, instead of an advocate of only one, It will be done. A crisis In navy development will be reached this winter, and the policy which will be the outcome may be of far reaching effect. It the United States comes down to the plan of building only one battleship a year and Is Involved In no war with a foreign power, the Government Is very likely to adhere to the economical programme for a long time. Mr. Taft's presence at the review will undoubtedly stimulate general interest, and that is just what Secretary Meyer Is seeking.

CAPPS TO GO ABROAD. Constructor Who Opposed Meyer Flan Granted Leave of Absence. Washington, October 28 Chief Constructor Washington L. Capps, formerly of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and who opposed the Meyer plan of reorganization in the Navy and later was succeeded as chief of the Bureau of Construction and detailed to the Philippines. It Is now said, will not bo able to appear before any of the investigating committees at the next of Congress should the reorganization question be reopened.

Mr. Capps was in the Philippines and in Europe on inspection duty last winter and naval orders issued today grant him leave of absence for four months beginning December 5 next, with permission to go abroad. It is understood he is going to Europe. Constructor Capps Is senior member of the board on hull changes now stationed In Philadelphia and it was stated at the Navy Department today that the vacancy his absence will create will not be filled. He Is authorized to apply for a five months extension of thi months leave, if he cares to do so four CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING.

me straight and I know It to be true." Well, he said be was sorry; it was true, but he was sorry. He said he didn't mean any harm. I said, "I don't see how you could do an act like that without meaning harm." Q. What year was that? A. In the fall of 1894.

(By Mr. Porter, attorney for the plaintiff) Q. Did you stats to your husband at this meeting any endearing terms? A. Yes, sir. Q.

What were they? A. I said, "She tells me that one evening you came home I asked ber when did these things occur. I said. to him, "She says they occurred down at the office when she stayed down there with him In the evening after the rest had gone, and at home at any time when I wasn't around." Q. Now, about the endearing terms? A.

She said one evening when she came home with him, just as she got inside the hall, it was late In the evening, about II o'clock, he put his arms around ber and kissed her. This was in the vestibule before they entered the hall, and he railed her his little wife, but she said "I am not your wife," and he said, "I will call you daughter, and a daughter has nearly all the privileges of a wife." Q. What other terms were used? A. Then he said, "I am like a jellyfish. I float around here and there.

I touch this one and that one, and if she re sponds I take her to me, and If not, I float on to and she wrote that out so that I could remember it for sure when I would speak to htm about It. And he confessed that be said tbose things. Pastor Russell's explanation of the above incidents is contained In the following verbatim extract from his testimony given on the stand on Friday, April 27, 1906: Q. Did you ever at any time undertake to humiliate, or did you ever do any act or say any words, such as using the expression, "jellyfish," or anything that would hurt Mrs, Russell's feelings in any way? A. Nothing Intentional, sir.

If I might I would like to explain. We had In our family this Miss Ball that was referred to. Might I mention that? Q. Yes, if there is anything of that kind. A.

We had a young man in the office by the name of Charles Ball, who came to us from Buffalo, and was deeply interested. Q. What has that to do with the girl? A. This was her brother. She wanted to come because her brother was here.

After her brother died, she was lonely, and Mrs. Russell and I both thought a great deal of her. She was a very young-looking girl, wore short dresses, and Mrs. Russell and I thought It would be best to have her come into the room In the same room with us so she would read in our study in the evening. We had a large study.

She kissed us both a goodnight when she was going to bed, and we treated her In every way as a daughter, and told her that we considered her such, and she told us she considered us as her parents. This might be considered by Mrs. Russell as being something offen sive, but I will explain It. This Miss Ball one evening came to me In the front room or, rather, I heard someone cobbing, and I turned around to see, and she was crying at her desk, and I in quired what was the matter, and she didn't answer for quite a while, and finally she jumped up and came over and sat down on my knee, and was still cry ing, and I Inquired what was the matter, what could be the matter. She said Mrs.

Russell had been overworking her or something, and I tried to show her that she was mistaken, that Mrs. Rus sell wouldn't do anything of the kind, and I tried to allay her feelings. Another time she came and sat on my knee wnen tnere was some young man who was giving her attention more than she liked, and had been making himself unpleasant, and she was worked up and was crying. But she merely came to me as a father." Q. She had been with you for some time? A.

Yes, sir; she had no relatives there, and we told her she could call herself by our name. She said the only reason she didn't do that she was afraid If her father heard of It he would think she had lost her self-respect for him. Q. You treated her as a daughter In your home? A. Yes, sir; she looked to be about 13.

I don't know how old she was. Q. She may have been older? A. I heard someone say that she was only 10. She was a very young looking woman.

Q. Wore short dresses? A. Yes, sir. Q. And grew up In your home? A.

Yes, sir. I should say that some time later Mrs. Russell told me that Miss Ball had come to her and said that there was oue thing she should tell her that she had kissed me at some time when she wasn't present. She went to tell her about that? A. Yes, sir.

Miss Ball was very con scientious and she thought that this was something Mrs. Russell should know, and when Mrs. Russell mentioned It to me I said, "That is so, that was all right, there was nothing improper about that," and I explained to Mrs. Russell Q. There was no further trouble about that? A.

No. Q. They have mentioned that matter when you were found In her room. A. I don't remember the occurrence, but It is very likely it would be true that Mrs.

Russell might have come In and found me by the bedside with her hand in mine. I suppose I was feeling her pulse, I don't know anything else. It would be a common occurrence; I gave medicine In the family, and not only to our own family, but Mrs. Russell's sister living in the adjoining place. I used to be the family physician over there; they sent to me always for medicine.

I happened to have some knowledge of medicine, but if anybody would get bad we would send for a regular physician. Q. Anything of that kind that occurred was Just In the interest of family health? A. Yes. Bir.

Q. You would Just as likely have gon; Into one house as another? A. Yes. sir. Another matter Mrs.

Russell mentioned to me years ago, when she was intimating that she might bring a suit. This was In 1896, ten years ago, and she was intimating she might bring suit. She said: "It would look very badly for you If I would tell in court that I found you once In the room with Emily." I can't think of the name, Matthews, since married. "And that the door was locked." I said, "Dear, you understand al) about that. You know that was the room In which the slops were emptied and the water was carried, and that was the morning that Emily Matthews was sick, and you told me of It and asked me to go up and see her, and when they were running out and In with water palls I turned the key for half a minute until I would have a chance to hear quietly what she had to say, and there wasn't the slightest Impropriety In any' thing that was done." I would Just as soon that everybody in this room would be present.

Q. It was simply to keep the people from running In and out? A. Yes. sir. The slope were emptied In that room, and there was a pump and it made a great deal of noise when they operated the pump.

Q. There was some expression used here about a Jellyfish? A. No. sir, I never' made use of such an expression. I hope I don't look Idiotic enough to say that.

In my opinion, any man that claims to be a jellyfish would have no sense at all. would like to be given credit for having some backbone. Mrs. Russell did not resume the stand. She said out of court that Rose Ball was about 18 years old when she entered the Russell household.

She denies that any slops were carried through the room in which she found her husband locked in WHO FOUGHT DETECTIVE Exciting Struggle Between Two Men Who Were Hand-cuffed Together. SEIZED DETECTIVE'S PISTOL Police Say They Have Burglar Who Has Been Operating Out of Town, In the arrest of a man who gave his name as Gerald Chapman, 24 years old, ot 124. East 124th' street, Manhattan, which was made yesterday afternoon by Detec tives Brennick and Morrell, the police say they expect to clear up the mystery which baa surrounded a number of burglaries which have been committed recently in several towns near New York. The arrest of the man was brought about by what the police claim was the suspicious conduct of the prisoner, who afterward made a sensational attempt to escape. The two detectives were passing 222 West 129th street yesterday afternoon when a man came out of the building carrying two dress suit oases.

As the man saw the detectives he turned quickly and re-entered the house. This action excited the curiosity of the detectives, and they followed him into the hallway. As tbey opened the door the two suitcases were hurled at them, and tha man ran upstairs. The detectives caught him on the second floor and he said: "Well, I guess you have got me this time." The man was then handcuffed to Detective Brennick. Chapman told the detectives that if they would accompany him to 134 Bast 124th street he would give them other property which he had in a furnished room at that address.

When the house on East 124th street was reached the detectives say that the man led them to a room on the second floor and asked permission to change some of his garments. Morrell left Brennick In the room with the prls-onor and went down to the entrance to watch for the arrival of the chum whom the prisoner had said he expected. Detective Brennick says that as the man was removing his trousers a number of articles of Jewelry fell out of the pocket. With the aid of the prisoner, to whom he was handcuffed, he was picking up the articles when the prisoner quickly reached over his back and grabbed the detective's revolver from his pocket, with his left hand, which was free. Brennick says the man then turned his revolver on.

him and told him to unlock the handcuff, or he would shoot him. The detective said he would get the key out of his pocket, and made a motion as If to do so, but Instead he seized tha man's hand In which the revolver was and then began a fight which lasted some time. About this time a woman, who Brennick afterward learned was the landlady, came to the door and the prisoner called to her to go away or he would kill her, but the detective called to her that he had the man's hand In which the revolver was and that she was safe. He says he told ber he was an officer, and the man was his prisoner, and If she would help htm he could overcome the man. Brennick then told the woman to choke the man and he would take care of the revolver hand.

The woman seised the prisoner's throat with fcoth hands and it was not long before the prisoner said he was ready to quit, and loosened his hold on the revolver. When the station house was reached the prisoner wrote a list of the towns where he had recently been. On the list were Stamford and Danbury, Poughkeepsle, Tarrytown and New fto- chelle, N. V. In the grips which were taken to tle West 125th street station, a lot of Jewelry and wearing apparel was found The prisoner was transferred to police headquarters.

The detectives say that the prisoner's aliases are George Charters and Maxwell Winters, and that he was convicted of burglary in August, 1902, and sent to the House of Refuge. He was also convicted, they say, in April, 1907, of entering the home of a Mrs. Trout on West Seventy-fifth street and sent to Elmira. The last conviction against him was in September, 1908, before Judge Rosalsky, and he was sent to Sing Sing for three years. WIILETT NOT MENTIONED.

News that the President's plans had been modified to permit this reached the fleet yesterday.

The news wag in the nature of a surprise. It had been supposed until yesterday that only Secretary of the Navy Meyer would review the fleet, but now, in the face of the added attraction, the Secretary's review will be overshadowed. The President will pass up the river in the Mayflower between the lines of fighting craft, and as the Mayflower slips past the big fighters each will boom forth a 21-gun salute. It will be the first time a President of the United States has ever reviewed a fleet in the Hudson, and the armada which will be gathered there will surpass anything that has ever been sscn in American waters. Greater Part of Fleet Already at Anchor.

The bulk of the great fleet is already at anchor. This morning two-thirds of the entire force Is spaced out In the Hudson. All day yesterday the gray visitors kept coming in through the sea gates and silently stealing to the places assigned them. At evening they were still coming and on the broad Atlantic more were on the way. By 5 o'clock in the afternoon twenty-one had entered the Hudson.

There were six battleships and fifteen torpedo boats and destroyers. This Is the list of the new arrivals: Battleships Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, telftare, Idaho and Massachusetts. Destroyers Terry, Drayton, McCall, Jrippe, Paulding, Monaghan, Worden, atterson, Ammen, Burrows. Torpedo Boats Morris, Porter, Blakely, SDahlgTen and De Long. Of the arrivals the monster Delaware, which is the most powerful ship afloat, is neWV She is still a youngster in the navy.

Ever sines Tuesday the armada has tn gathering. On that day fourteen Tassels cast anchor in the Hudson. Next tfay two or thre more swelled the total, and Friday they began to drift in at epr short intervals. Twenty-two joined the fleet then, so that there are now some Sixty or seventy craft In harbor, If not Snore. The entire Atlantic Fleet of 102 Vessels will be on the ground Monday, all prinked out for the great spectacle.

ilort Notable Display New York Has Ever Seen. New York has seen notable displays of lbs oountry's naval strength in the Hudson before this when Dewey came home, tor Instance, and during the Hudson-iPulton celebration but never anything to approach this. Seen from the green embankments of Riverside Park yester day, the light was magnificent. As far as the eye oould reach stretched the lines of (ray lighting machines, their tolor blending with the hue ot the river ind the dull skies overhead, in the cen ter were the ugly, squat battleships, and kearer the Jersey shore the rakish torpedo boats and destroyers. The veteran bonaeotlout, the flagship, had dropped down the river during the day, and taken tip a position off Fifty-seventh street.

0he was first in the line. From Fifty-seventh street as far as the bye could reach, the bulky shapes get-tins; dimmer and dimmer in the perspective until a bend of the river hid th" rear guard, the pride of Uncle Rain's Kavy lay sullen on the tides. There was a. space equivalent to the distance covered by two city blocks, between each two. Next to the flagship, on which was Admiral Osterhaus, was the Michigan, which recently made a world's record at target practice.

The figures of the last target practice have not yet been announced but it Is rumored that the Connecticut may turn out to be the winner. Next to the Michigan was the Delaware and then the North Dakota, off Sixty-third street. Tehes are the daisies of the fleet and with the Utah and the tremendous Florida, which has just been finished at the Navy Yard and will take her place In line on Monday, they form squadron which is practically invincible. Rear-Adralral Bradley Allen Flske, who Won undying fame as the navigator ot the Petrel at Manila, commands the Fifth Division and the Petrel tiny vessel is also in the line. Immense Crowds Gather to See the Ships.

Not since the Hudson-Fulton celebration have there berti such crowds along the river front as there were yesterday afternoon and Commissioner Waldo has made preparations for a much larger one which is expected today. Until the evening shadows fell the embankments on each side of the river were black with people, and at ear.i tica, landing hundreds pushed and crowded to eet on the gang-planks leading to the launches. Manv were the plca6 made to the midshipmen on the floats by those who were anxious to board one or other of the warships. One man said that he was-a friend of Charley Murphy. But it didn't sfem to work.

The rivermen who had boats to let reaped a golden harvest. They were right on the job from the time the Bun went up Rnd many a boatload of sightseers went out from their landings to circle the fleet at a cost of 50 centB a head. If there hadn't been police stationed at the heads of the gangplanks at each prominent dock many persons would have fallen Into the river and possibly there would have been some loss of life. Shore Leave and Fay Make Jackies Happy. The sailors were the happiest Individuals in the city last night.

Thousands of them were paid off and with a month's wages in his trousers pocket and forty-eight hours shore leave, Jack was ready to entertain his friends ashore and go the limit regardless of expense. It is estimated that there are 23,000 men on the great fleet. As each man's month's pay will amount to $.15 or $40 at least, and In many cases more than that, about Jl.OOO.OOO will be spent In this city in the next few days. Naturally the shopkeepers all over town are welcoming the sailor lads with open arms and are mighty glad they came. Of course the girls were there to greet the jackles, and many of them soon found friends In the throng.

One happy tar was seen rolling along with a pretty girl hanging to each arm, as If afraid that he would leave If she let go, and never, never come back again. Of the five divisions of the fleet, the second is commanded by Rear Admiral Ward and his flagship, the Minnesota, heads It. The Minnesota is moored off 106th street, ith the Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi strung out behind. Rear Ad miral Howard's flagship. Virginia, heads r.notner division.

The real veterans were the battleships Massachusetts, Iowa and Indiana, all of which took part in the Spanish War. They are somewhat out of date now in comparison with the more modern raft and the sailors irreverently refer to the old-timers as "the old crab fleet." They had been called out of half-reserve the back channel of the Philadelphia Navy Yard to take part in the mobilization.

FARLEY'S ELEVATION LONG ANTICIPATED The elevation of Archbishop John M. Farley to the rank of a Prince of the Roman Catholic Church is an honor which the Archldlocese of New York has anticipated for a number of years. The last New York prelate who had this distinction was the famous Cardinal Mc-Closkey, who died in 1884, and was succeeded by the late Archbishop Corrlgan. Archbishop Farley, his successor, has been the head of the New York Diocese since 1902. John M.

Farley was born in the County Armagh, Ireland, on August 20, 1842. He emigrated to this country when still a youth. He attended John's College at Fordham, from which he graduated In 1866. His early training for the priest-hod was received in St. Joseph's Seminary, at Troy, N.

Y. (He completed his theological studies in Rome, where be was ordained on June 11. 1870. The young priest's first charge when he returned to this country was St. Peter's parish, at New Brighton, Staten Island.

His work came to the notice of the authorities of the archdiocese, and when Bishop McNlerney went to Albany, two years later, the parish priest of Staten Island was chosen for the distinguished post of secretary to Archbishop Mc Closkey. In addition to his duties as secretary, Father Farley found time to assume the pastorate of St. Gabriel's on East Thirty-seventh street, Manhattan. In these two positions he developed his remarkable abilities aB an organiser. His scholarly attainments also were reoog-nlzed, and in 1884 he was unanimously chosen rector of tho American College at Rome.

But Cardinal McCloskey was in his declining years. He realised that he could ill afford to spare the services of his devoted secretary, and when the appointment to Rome was officially tendered, he refused to. allow Father Farley to accept It. To soften any disappointment which the young priest may have suffered, thfc Cardinal requested the Pope to appoint him as private chamberlain, which office conferred upon him the title or mon-slgnor. Supervised Completion of St Patrick's Cathedral.

To Archbishop Farley much credit it due for the erection and completion of St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was while he was secretary to Cardinal McCloekey that the building of the beautiful edifice was undertaken. Illness prevented tho Cardinal from taking an active interest, so It fell to his secretary to supervise all the work incidental to Its construc'-tlou, as well as taking charge of tht financial affairs of the undertaking. Mgr.

Farley was further honored by the church in 1886 when he was appointed a missionary director and a diocesan consulter. In which capacity he became one of the late Archbishop Corrlgan's most trusted advisers. Five years later found him the vicar general of the diocese. The growth of tha diocese in 1892 made tho appointment of an assistant necessary and at the request of Archbishop Corrlgan, Mgr. Farley became auxilllary bishop of he New York diocese and titular bishop of Zenma.

Upon the Archibshop's death In 1902 the irremovable rectors and consultors of the New York Diocese, by a unanimous vote, chose Bishop Farley as "dlgnlssi-nius," or "msot worthy," and the choice of the diocese as the successor, to the late Archbishop. Later the choice was confirmed by the Pope. Official notification of his elevation reached Bishop Farley on October 5, 1902. $500,000 Baised at His Fortieth Anniversary. Archbishop Farley In June of last year, celebrated in St.

Patrick's Cathedral the fortieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.
