One waa the vlctory of the Giants in th*

< otiseqi ejit passlng of coin from Coxswain
Austin McDowell, letter known as Oun
OM McPiff, to "Red" Carlsen, also ?
coxswain, whose mates have dubbed him
the yau*rt_e Pirate. The other was the re?

from a flrm of lawyers in the clty txttt
veylng the lnformation that C K Mort-.n.

I'nfortunately. Morton. who ls only
about twenty-one years old, wai noj^ on

no aooner had the captain received the
newa than he sent for his rich seaman
and gave hlm leave to go aahore and eon?

an aunt, they groaned, of whom the
youth had never even heard. "Wha'
d'you know about that?"
Well, Captain Rodman magnanlmouoly
offered the lucky Morton an honorable
(tlscharge, they said, and the boy spoke
up. wlth what a stiffentng of prlde and

"Thank you, sir. but if you don't mlnd

An lncident, rehearscd later In the Har?

has caused the offlcer* of the fleet to
warn their nien against inipostors in the
unlform of sallors. Thomas 1-ang, who
said he was twenty yeara old, dressed ln
the unlform of a aallor belonglng to the
battleahlp Ohlo. flgured in a mlx-up In a

As*ailant Becom** Pri*on*r.
Weissman went ashore wlth t'eorge
I'anler, another Kansas sallor. on
Wednesday nlght. ln a rear room of
the saloon, he told Magistrate Krotel.
I.ang Jumped on hlm and tried to choke
hlm. at the same time seeklng the roll ln
Weissman's back pocket. I'anier went to
bl* cotnrade'a asslstance and together
they made a prlsoner of I_ing. whom
iater they ti>ok aboard the battleship
Ohlo for idrntlficatlon. But the offlcer*
of the a-hlp declared hlm an Impostor and
turned hlm over to the police of the
152d etreet station. ? Magistrate Krotel
held hlm yeaterday without l>_jl to awatt

The sallor* thought _ang must have

Riveraide Drive Mluminated.
The tirllliant sllumlnations along River?
side Drlve in honor of the assembled ves
sels of the l'nlted States navy shone forth
for tht flrst time last night, and were
entirely satisfactory to the commlttee
havlng the llghllng in ^itirge, as well aa
to tlie tho'usands who were on the drlve
aml the thousand* who wera on the shlps.
Promptly at 6:30 o'clock the swltches
were turned on, and instantlv the names
of American naval heroea, of naval bat
tles where Amerlcans were vlctorious and
of vessels that have flgured in the naval
history of the l'nlted States, as well as
the familiar exptesslons of their com
manders, burst forlh in letters of Ilght
as brilllant as the acvhlevements of the
men and ships to which they referred
It took somethlng like forty thousand
incandescent llghts to pick out the words
emblazoned, and a* they appeared there
issued from the tliroats of the vast as
semblage expressions of admlration that
were unchecked.
From 72d street to 135th atreet the scene
was magnificent. There appeared the
names of Paul Jones. Farragut. Porter,
Cushlng, Perry. Sampson, Schley, Wor
den, Decatur, Dahlgren. Kvans and Law?
rence as representative Americar. heroes.
Amerlcan vlctories at sea where only
two vessels were engaged were ao fre?
quent in the War of 1812 that it would
have heen impoflaible for the vlctories to
have been recorded. so the commlttee ba*
lected aa representative battles only those
where fleets were engaged, and wlth no
reference to the vlctories of the ?Civil War.
Manlla, Santiago. Lake Champlaln and
Lake Erie were the ones recorded.
Hiatorio Phraeea In Llght.
The names of the famous vessels were
picked out in lettera of llght on the great
eurved archea of the vladuct, accom
panied by the phrasea that were uttered
by their captalns. whlch have come down
ln history and will ever be known. Theae
were as follows:
Bon Homme Rlchard-* I have not yet
begun to fight."
Conatltutlon?"Enemy haa atruck."
Malne-'Publlc oplnion ahould be sus
pended."
Oregon-'Arrlved and ready for any
duty."
Olympia-'FIre when you are ready,
Gridley."
Added to all of thta lighting. for which
the clty provlded, the occupanta of prt?
vate resldences and apartments fronting
on the Drlve responded to the appeal for
ligtlted vvindows. and nearly every wln?
dow fronting on the Drlve was lit up.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday nlfthts
the display will be even more wonderful,
for then the warshlps will all be illu?
minated by llghts that will show their
outilnes uf-ainst the bark?round of the
lalisades.

There is only one remedy in the oplnion

"Red Phil" Will Plead to In
dictment for Zelig's Murder.
BRAVADO HAS VANISHED
Prisoner Sobs in Oell Most of
Time?Confession Expected
at Any Moment.
"Ked Fhll" Davidson. slayer of "BIg
Jack" Zelig, was indlcted for murder by
the grand Jury yesterday. To-day he wlll
be arralgned before Judge Swann ln I'art
I of Oeneral Sesalons to plead to the In?
dlctment.
Davidson, who hes partaken only spar
ingly of food since hls arrest last Satur?
day night, spent the better part of yes?
terday ln tears In hls cell. Hi* wife vle
lted hlm In the Tombs, and their conver
satlon was Interladen with the prlsoner's
sobs. The splrtt of bravado has van
Ished, and wtth the electric chalr starlng
hlm tn the face the whlte slaver who aent
Zelig the way of other gang leaders has
become a craven.
Asslotant District Attorney Mlnton, who
has charge of the case, ls lnvestlfcatlng
the story that Davidson wa* only the
tool of men who wanted to put Zelig out
of the way. Mr. Mlnton belleve* that lf
Davidson was ordered *o alay Zelig he
soon wlll break down and confess. The
District Attorneys offlce incllnes to the
theory that Davidson waa lying when
he declared he was alone In the murder
and shot the gang leader because Zelig
kept 818 of hls money.
Davidson has told many lies. Remein
berlng thls, and wlth the maxlm In mlnd.
"a man who lies In one particular may
lie In all." Mr. Mlnton ls prohlng to the
bottom the story that Davidson was only
a hlred assassln.
Mr. Mlnton Is now looklng for the
names of the underworld assoclates of a
former member of the force who worked
ln a Tenderloln dlve before he Jolned the
department, In an effort to determlne
what truth there is in reports that the
ex-pollceman, who was a known enemy
Of /.ellg, was cognlzant of the murder.
Pavldson haa not as yet scjught to ob
tatn a lawyer, hut it ls probable that
..ninsel wlll be asslgned hlm when he
appear. for pleadlng In Judge Swann s
court thls mornlng.
I.awyers around the Crimlnal Court
building who are famlliar wlth the case
say that Davldson's only defence would
be emotlonal Insanity. Self-defence, they
point out, Is out of the questlon. as he
shot the gang leader from behlnd. when
Zelig dld not even know he was wlthln
half | mile of hlm.
None the less. there ar* many who be
BtTO Davidson wlll not go to trl*l alone
for the murder of Zelig. These people
would not be surpil-ed to see four or Ilve
men Impll'-ated by Davidson, If thelr
theory that he aas only a factor tn a
eonsplraey be correct.
