One Hundred and Twentythree Ships of Atlantic Fleet in New York for the Big Review.

L At - ) PARADE WAS -I ELD THERE TODAY rNext Week Grim Fighting Vessels from Dreadnaughts to Submarines Pass Before President. ... (National News Association) NEW YORKN. Y., Oct. 12. Today quarks the official beginning of the ' mobilization of the Atlantic Fleet in the Hudson river. The city of New York is lined up along the east bank jof the river from the Battery to Grant's Tomb. Regular business has practically been suspended and the big town is enjoying a holiday with the 30,000 enlisted men and officers of the fjSfavy Even all society affairs have resolved themselves into "naval en gagements." t The official opening started off with ja grand land parade, a function which the men from the ships had exclusively to themselves. There were 6,000 men in line, and they made a brave 'showing, truly. The brilliant procession started at the foot of West 96th street, through 96th street, Central Park, West, Central Park, South, and then down Fifth avenue to 22nd street. Greeted With Cheers. . As the sailor boys proceeded down the city's great thoroughfare, which has witnessed many a notable parade, but none more brilliant than this one, the enmassed throngs on both sides of the avenue greeted them with the 'waving of flags and handkerchiefs and with tremendous cheering. , : However obscure their lot may be In other times of peace, the American Jackies are in a mellow limelight today, and enjoy it. They have none of that cynical indifference to public homage, such as Kipling discerned in Tommy Atkins. They are perfectly willing to let the people of New York ehow them a good time. The Hudson river represents a spectacle for the gods of war. It is by far the most impressive scene the American people ever witnessed, except that small portion who have seen some of these steel giants in actual battle. The great sleeping monsters of the deep lie in a line of military precision along the river from a point just off 23rd street up to Yonkers. An Imposing Array. It is a much more imposing array than that of last year. Then there were but 99 ships in the line. The present assembly numbers 123. Much of the interest, if not the most, evinced by the "land lubbering" but navy loving public, so far as the ships themselves are concerned, is centered 3n the two super-dreadnaughts, the Arkansas and the Wyoming, whose displacement is 26,000 tons each. They lare the two giants of the navy, but they lie silent and modest, while the !New York "patriots" scramble over kheir sides, teem their mighty decks, jpeer with unquaillng eyes down the muzzles of their monster guns and inspect with awe their watch-like mechanism. The Connecticut is Admiral OsterJhaus's flagship, and is entirely worthy of the honor. New York will assuredly entertain her visiting sailors on a grand scale. Perhaps the most conspicuous mark of the city's appreciation of the visit is the illumination of Riverside Drive from 72nd street to Grant's Tomb. The beautiful drive is thus transformed into a radiant fairyland through which the rimpling waters of the river may be seen and above it the illuminated ships, their graceful outlines traced by fire. This light from the Drive, which meets and merges with the light fjrom the shops, combines to produce an effect which words can hardly describe. Like Phantom Vessels. One leaves with the picture in his mind's eye of a fleet of phantom vessels, with gossamer-like sails, stretched out in either direction as far as the vision can reach; the gold and sliver surface of the solemn river, mottled with the sombre shadows of the ships and the dancing reflections tof the myriad lights, and all softly merging into the radiance of Riverside Drive with its great trees, making pt seem as if trees and water, houses mnd ships and the dim outlines of the Palisades on the further shore, were but the mystic creations of a dream. On Sunday special religious services will be held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The entertainment of the enlisted men will be informal, but adequate. , Special baseball games between some of theblg league clubs will be played (Continued on Page Six)

R. H. E. N. Y. ... 000000100 1-4 0 Boston ..0 0200000 x 2 5 0 Mathewson and Meyers; Bedient and Cady. (National News Association) FENWAY PARK, Boston, Oct. 12. Through the masterful pitching of young Bedient, the dark horse of the Boston pitching staff, the Red Sox downed the Giants, with the great Mathewson in the box, this afternoon in the presence of a crowd of over thirty thousand people. The score was 2 to 1 and the game was one of the most desperate pitchers battles ever seen in a world's series. Mathewson pitched a steady, clever game except in the third Inning when he let down for an instant and the Sox, grabbing at the opportunity, blasted him for a couple of triples which blossomed into two runs. Matty then put on the brakes and pitched air tight ball until the finish. -'; ' ,. By winning today Boston has three games to New York's one in the series and one more victory for the Sox will bring to them the title of the world's champion baseball team. Young Bedient was even a deeper problem to the Giants than the wonderful Joe Wood. He let them down with four hits, two of which came in one inning and yielded one run. Then the youngster recovered and there was nothing more doing with his delivery. In the first Hooper led off with a single for Boston then Yerkes flew out, but Speaker delivered with a single and the crowd arose howling, expecting Boston to count. However, Matty braced and retired the next two men. In the third, Boston brought its heavy artillery into play and pounded in two runs. It was Hooper again who led in the attack, lacing out a triple to left, then Yerkes duplicated Hooper's triple, scoring Hooper. Matty made a game rally and retired the side, but SOCIALISTS MEET IN THE HIGHJCHOOL Speakers Will Attempt to Educate Voters in Principles of Socialism. For the purpose of educating persons as to the tenets of socialism, the local organization will hold a public meeting at the high school auditorium Sunday at 2:30 o'clock. H. L. Spink, this city, candidate for prosecuting attorney, and the Rev. H. L. Haywood, pastor of the Universalist church, are the two speakers who will address the meeting tomorrow. The meeting is pursuant to an order from the national Socialist committee which has set apart Sunday as the day on which educational meetings shall be held by the 5,000 organizations of the party in the United States. A prominent member of the party said today that the addresses tomorrow will not be of a political nature but will strive to educate those attending in the principles of the party and to prove that economic conditions ultimately will bring about the reign of collectivism that is advocated by the Socialist party. POSTPONED MEETING Because of conflicting engagements of some members of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society, the reorganization of the society which was to have taken place last evening was postponed until Oct. 16. At this meeting representatives from the state society will advise the local organization as to the proper course to pursue, and plans for the sale of the Red Cross stamps will be made.

BOSTON INCREASES LEAD

not until Yerkes had counted on an out. New York went along popping up the puzzling slants of Dedient without threatening to score until the seventh, when the Giants got busy. Merkle who has not shone with the stick during the previous games of the series, opened up with a double but the next two men were retired. However, on th first out he went to third and scored when "Bull" McCormick, batting for Fletcher, delivered with a single. Matty ended the rally with an easy out. FIRST INNING.

Roosevelt today assailed Gov. Charles Deneen for a "deliberate and wilful perversion of the truth" in a recent speech in which the governor charged that the Colonel admitted that some of the contests brought before the Chicago convention were not made in good faith. Mr. Roosevelt also denounced Deneen as a friend and ally of Senator Lorimer. Roosevelt declined to address the celebration of Columbus Day in conjunction with the KnighjLs of Columbus. The Colonel had been invited by Thomas O'Shaunnessy to take part in the pageant and make an address. President Brown, of the Knights, objected, declaring that O'Shaunnessy had no authority to -invite anyone. When Colonel Roosevelt learned the facts he declined to consider the invitation. The attack on Deneen was made in a statement issued after a conference with local leaders. The Colonel spoke to a crowd pammed around the La Salle hotel. SOUTH SIDE PICNIC The South Side Improvement association will hold Its annual picnic at Beallview park Sunday afternoon. Games and amusements will be the features of the affair and a dance in the pavilion will conclude the affair.

YOUNG MEN UNDER 21 MAHAST VOTE Att'y General Honan Says So in an Unofficial Statement on that Point. Attorney General Honan has given an unofficial reply to numerous letters from young men in Wayne county concerning the right of a person to vote who will become 21 years of age on November 6. Strictly speaking, the question would have to be answered always in the negative. No one can vote unless he Is 21 years of age at the time he votes. "It is true, however, that if the twenty-first anniversary of a man's birthday falls on the day after the election he will be, in fact, twenty-one years of age the day before the anniversary of his birthday. This grows out of the fact that the law recognizes no pieces of days. The day of a man's birth is counted as if he bad lived the whole of that day, and when he has lived through the year until the beginning of the new birthday, he then starts on the second year of his life, and so. when he has lived through twenty-one years and starts on the twenty-first anniversary of his birth, he then starts to live on the twenty-second year of his life, having previous to that day lived twenty-one - years." GABRIEL IS FINED John Gabriel was fined $1 and costs in police court this morning for public intoxication. Gabriel was arrested yesterday afternoon while attempting to force an entrance into the heme of his former wife, Mrs. Caroline Kellar.

Nicholas of Montenegro Also Wept at the Sight of the Suffering of the Stricken

Soldiers. GREAT BATTLE LINE EXTENDS 100 MILES Over Three Thousand Killed in the Fighting Against tho Turks Wounded Are Uncared For. (National News Association) PODGORITZ, Montenegro. Oct. 12. Along a hundred mile battle line Turkish and Montenegrin troops are fighting in Albania today with Scutari, base of the Turkish operations, the prize for which they are contending. The Turkish troops retreating after overwhelming defeat rallied today and for a time threw back the Montenegrin pursuers but again had to take to flight under the heavy cannonading of the Montenegrin artillery. Continued success crowns the efforts of the Montenegrin troops. One detachment attacked and captured the Turkish fortress at Rogame. near Tusi in a night attack, taking the Turkish defenders prisoners. Fighting has now been continuous for over eighty hours and more than 3,000 have been killed and wounded on both sides. Hundreds of Turks have been taken captive in the engagements at Detchitch mountain, at Schipchink hill, Berana, Rogame, and in the battles around the blockhouses west of Scutari on the southern banks of Bojana river. Armies Are To Unite. Despatches received today from Gen. Martinovitch, Montenegrin minister of war, who is leading the troops operating in the west stated that he is marching eastward with Scutral the objective point;. His 'army wiirco-oper. ate with that of Crown Prince Danllo, commander-in-chief of the Central di vision, in attacking the Turkish strong hold at Scutrai. Terrible sceneB are presented at the hospitals here at the Montenegrin military headquarters. The hospitals are overflowing with wounded from the front. There is a woeful lack of medical supplies. Many of the wounded are dying from lack of attention despite the fact that the Turkish government is doing everything possible to care for the victims of Turkish bullets. King Nicholas visited the hospitals today and as he walked between the cots of the wounded he stooped and kissed the forehead of each soldier. The King wept at the sight of suffering all about him and spoke words of cheer to those who are mortally wounded. King Nicholas has given orders that the Turkish prisoners be well treated. They are being placed in a compound guarded by Montenegrin soldiers. Prisoner Is a Guest. The Turkish commander who lost the battle of Detritch mountain where he was captured, was received today by King Nicholas as a guest. The Montenegrin king talked for a half hour with his prisoner and assured him that the Turks would receive humane treatment from their captors. Gen. Martovitch will first attack Ft. Taraboche, a Turkish military post which commands the entrance to Scutari upon the west. Its capture means the fall of Scutari. Gen. Martinovitch's division Is strongly supported by artillery. When the advance upon Scutari started from the west it was realized that long range guns would be necessary to storm the western citadel and a battery was taken for this purpose. With all the stragetic points in the vicinity of Berana in the bands of the Montenegrins, the capture of that town is expected hourly. Gen. Vukovltch is in command of the column which is operating there and he re

ported to headquarters that he was'i:, ,lth

advancing upon Scutari with bright nmutra ui Bullosa. Turkish territory south and north of Montenegro Is being plundered for provisions for the Montenegrin troops in the field. Trains protected by convoys of soldiers make daily excursions for various kinds of foodstuffs. Although the Malissori tribesmen, the christian tribe natives in Albania, have not entered into league with the Montenegrins, they are co-operating with them in the war against the Turks. Six thousand tribesmen are attacking the Turkish rear south of Scutari. REPORT MASSACRE. BERLIN. Oct. 12. A massacre of Bulgarians in Macedonia is reported in newspaper dispatches received here today. It is said the Bulgarian government suppressed the news fearing that it would force war with Turkey before the Bulgarians mobilization was complete.

" Zelig Recently Killed. "Big Jack" Zelig is the gang leader who was shot to death on a Second avenue street car last Saturday night. Rose then went on: I then asked Becker if he cared if I took Harry Vallon with me. When he said no I got Vallon out of bed and we went to the Tombs. Becker said as I was going, "be sure, if possible, to have it done tonight and then by tomorrow it will be all over." Zelig at that time was in jail for carrying concealed weapons. Rose then told of going to Zelig in jail, handing him 100 and saying that Becker had sent it to him. Zelig at first refused to take the money, declaring that Becker had got him into jail on a framed up charge. Rose then related in detail his ne-
