The reception accorded iSmperor

THEY'RE SAFE 1? ALL OTHER WAYS
With an Aerial Fleet He Declares That

hold?Hope Expressed That Con?

WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 13.?
Brlgadlor General Arthur Mir ray.
chief of the coast artillery nr.d the
leader !n the plans now being carried
but for making coast defences Invul?
nerable against uavnl attack, was
much interested in the military possi?
bilities of the dirigible bailout; as
hau been pointed out by Captain T. T.
Lovelace.
Army oflico^s In general realize
that with the aerial fleet they have
an enemy to consider against which
no defense has been provided and
that too defensive value of fortifica?
tions Is especially endangered by the
possibility of an attack f.om over?
head. No one in the army, however
can speak with more authority on this
?itbject than Guneial Murray; who
has dor.' more than any other man
to perfect the present coast defense
system, to so fortify the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts that direct naval attack
would bo suicide for an opposing
fleet.
General Murray has takt n into con?
sideration every means of attack a
tloot could employ and hat-- provided
a rrmeily. He savs the only weapon
against which forts have no effect Ivo
defence is the dirigible balloon.
"That the present system of coast
defence is practically Invulnerable
against naval attack appears to mo to
need no Co roborntion, said General
Murray tonight "While our mortars
nmi heavy dlrapnearlhc, gun:; could
pdiir out a deadly lire against a target
the position of wltlch is calculated
with mathematical accuracy ami
while our mines would be registering
the mc-vonientn of vessels by the kvs
? em of signals we have completed,
th'o enemies gone would bo unable tp
rbitch our niortr"-'; ?oder any circum?
stances and our disappearing guns
would bo a most elusive target.
Therefore, it scents to me that wo
have nn adequate defence ngalnsi any
?veapon which the navy could use.
with the exception of the dirigible.
Mortars, disappearing ^Diir. mines?
ill would he of no nr'ail against dirig?
ible balloons, which could advance' or
rpfrnht, at will and possiMy solid
quantities of higli explosives from
overhead.
"Regardless of advantages t<. be
rained by observation the possibilities
'?f the dirigible for military purposes
are very great, which explains the in?
terest taken by lite tinny in the prob?
lem of aerla) navigation and the re?
commendation of Secretary Taft for a
1200,000 appropriation for the roll
slrneiir.il of an aerial Heel.
I "U the navy had dirigibles which
looujd attack uu from overhead wo
tvould feel decidedly unsafe, and the
?resent system of fortifications would
'lave t0 lie modified to meet this ein

ship of various InTgo piopertles with?
out cor* to himself by suing the funds

"Watered stock to the probable am.
punt or $2r.,ooo.ooo or $:.o.oooooo was
Issued. Mr. Walsh through h's em
i loves voted the >lock to hlmsoir. He
then sold this slock to tho banks,
raking the mohby to build up bin;
Iprivate enterprises. All of the stocks
no sold by Mr. Walsh was practically
[valueless. It toi toe piactlce of Mr.
Walsh to make lottos to one of hla{
companies nnd then sell the bonds of
that company to the bank. These
bonds were practically worthless." j
The assistant district attorney then
.Stated to the Jury that Mr. Wolsh
hod Induced * various ppraOOa to Finn
"accommodation" notes for the bank.
"Then.'' said Dohms, "he signed tho
names of people to notes. Notes were
pan do out payable to bearer nnd cred?
ited to the personal account of Mr.
Walsh. Bonds were made out to tho
Same "dummies" whose names were

and Mr. Wilr.h promised to do ro.
"Im 190-1. the bank was found In

repented and Mr. Walsh r>.train prom?
ised (-?> remove the securities.
"Another examination showed that
Hie bank was In a worse condition
than ever nnd It was thcra ordered
closed.
"The government will show that
Walsh's method was to buy from h'm.'
sell", fiv his- own price and put the
money in bis pocket."
Ar: an Illustration of WhlWh'a al?
leged proceednro In finance, the as
sis/taut district attorney cited the
Southern Indlnnn Railroad company, i
reviewing its history tip to the time
Walsh purchased it' for $175.000.
"He had Issued to himself." Dob?
bins said, "$:t00 000 hi bonds at the

WASHINGTON, Nov. ? In spite
of tbe tlii.d-teriu boomers who have
been Bwariulng around ? lUu white
House recently his close friends say
Untight that President Roosevelt In
tends to rollers to bin "no third term"
anouueement. m?de on election eve In
1901. It Is Wild thai the President In?
tends to make this reiteration of his
announcement hood arter New Year's
Hav und the return of Secretary Tart
to the Untied stnteu.
Ever since his return from his bear,
hunting trip to Louisiana the Presi?
dent hat. told his callers that he Would
not permit his name to come before
ihe next tlopuh'tlcan National Conven?
tion. Some of those who have soon
him nt the wblte House have upon
leaving the executive officers declnr
ed they have taken the President at
his word. Othora have declared that
they do not believe the next Republi?
can National Convention will nomi?
nate Roosevelt In spite of himself.
Mort of the men who have visited the
White Houho within the Inst few
weeks have, upon leaving tho Presi?
dent, declared thcrtBeWos strongly In
i favor of bis nomination,
i The gcscrnl belief in Washington
Is that Itoosovdt. nnd Bryan will be
the contending candidates of tho two
p*inclpa] politico) parties, and it will
take a strong statement from the
President to stop tlie third-term move- I
nioht. Hin friends say that he win
make such a Statement
Interested In New York Now.
Mr. Roosevelt Is taking a keen In
t'*-"it In ?'political affairs In New
York. Though ho baa not gone to
the extent of Indorsing or offering nld
to nnv set of men In bin own State,
tho President ban not hesltatod to let
his friends there know that ho wantH
a di-lecatlou to go to tbe next na?
tional convention that will be frlendlv
to him and to a man who will, if npm- |
Inated, continue the Roosevolt poll- 1
cies. Tills In declared to b" as fa- j
as Ilm President has pone In his ad?
vice or suggestions to his New York
friends.
"He holds," said one of those
friends today, "that while he has not
uttemnted and "-vlll not try to dictate
control in h's State, be Is war?
ranted by a natural Interest In hl?
I home State In savin at to those who
ask him thnt he wants that sort of
delegation to tho next Republican Nn
tlonflj Convention."
I Some Of tho.io who talked with Mr.
Roosevelt have construed what he has
aald into nn Indorsement of tho Taff
1*30111, and nre urging that the dele
en! ion be swung to Taft. Not one of
the President's callers ban yet stated
that there has been an open sugges?
tion of this sort from Mr. Roosevelt
himself.
Representative Edward B. Vreo
land. who represents the almost solid
Republican constituency of the Thlr
? tv-reventh New York Congressional
; district, called Upon the Prenident to

missioner N. V. V. Fnnchol.
Mr. Vrcoland Is a Strong Roosevelt
] supporter, but talked rather cautious
' ly. He said that there was no pro?
nounced lavorlte In New York nnd
there would not 1)0 Until It is- defi?
nitely known whether the President
intends to eliminate himself. He
said it was generally believed there
1 that Roosevelt would be nominated
I in suite of any refusal,
I When naked about the strength of
' Governor Hughes in upper Neu- York
Slate Mr. Vreehind put it this way:
"I know and have talked with many
of Governor Hughes' most Intimate
. friends in that, par! of the state. They
nro the very men who would be like?
ly to make a mow In behalf of Gov?
ernor Hughes' nomination. So far as
I have beep able to understand thev
have nol yet made a stop In the di?
rection of eanturlilg delegates for tho
Governor. This leads mo to believe
I that. I hoy are respecting a wish from
Governor Hughes. In accordance with
j Ills expressed attitude, of not s-ecklng
I any political preferment. My 'siring
up' of the upper New York situation
Is litis? The Republicans there would
bo for Roosevelt as between Hughes
and Roosevelt, provided tbe latter
will accept tho nomination for him?
self. As between Governor Huchn<*
and any outside-?that Is, anvono
other than Roor.evelt? I hoy would bo

that President Roosevelt can secure

I'Ut not for BOlhu one olso. It In ins'
opinion now that tlio Republican del

No Htntomoul bits ever boon Ihndc]
from Hi.' White House direct relative j
to tlii> reported friction betwoen
Roosevelt mid Mr. Hughes. It i>i well
known, though, from what the PrCBl-'
deul ami his Boorelary have said t!inti
that Roosevelt bun made every pbs
Bible ovo.lure toward Hughes, In the!
hope that Ihoy might co-operate in the!
management of party affairs in New,

Without solicitation from Governor
Hughe?, the President used kl? pros!

through tie- state Legislature,
Hughes Rebuffed Roosevelt.
Governor Hughes repudiated tile ae.
