Mellen, former president of the New Haven and the chief witness in the case, were not in court when the jury reported its verdict.

Newspaper Men Get First View of British Naval E

Sight of Concentrated Power and Battle Scarred Warships is Impressive Sight. Assoclnted Pres er"--LONDON, Jan. 10. Under escort of othcers assigned by the admiralty, a correspondent of the Associated Press and a party of foreign journalists were given the first epportu- .... nlty to visit the great navai oases on the coast where cruisers, destroyers, and submarines are assembled for their watch over tli--i North sea and from which point big oceangoing submarines are sent on forages to the Baltic and the Dardanelles. It was an impressive sight of concentrated power and alert readiness, with long lines of battle scarred cruisers stretching seaward ?.nd headed by the famous Arethusa, back of the vast flotilla of destroyers, then a countless number of submarines of the latest I), and K. type, which have recently performed such brilliant work from the Dardanelles to the Rosphorus and throughout the Baltic. Viit Naval Rendezvous. The day was typical of the rigors the British fleet is exposed to in the North sea with rain pelting tho sailors in oilskins, a north wind cutting the sea into foam, and seagulls everywhere. The little fishing village on the coast had been transformed by the war into a vast naval rendezvous with storehouses stretching a half mile, prepared to reequip an armada and send it back to sea within two hours of its arrival. Here also were the "mother" ship;,, ranged in long lines along the quay, ready to receive back their fighting children each time they came from a raid or a battle. The huge establishment was vibrating with energy, and in the harbor workers were coming back from their work. Hydroplanes were maneuvering from the deck of their craft, and black smoke from the funnels of the cruisers and destroyers told of their readiness to dash out to sea after an enemy craft. " Arethu-si Rattle Hero. The Arethusa and the light cruiser squadron had just returned from scouting along the German coast in search of a German fleet which was said to have ventured out from the Kiel canal. Nothing had been seen of the German ships and the Rritish officers the same who had now received their stars in the famous tUhts under Vice-Admiral Sir David Rcatty. were derisive at the idea that tht Germans would venture forth. One of the officers was in command of the torpedo tubes when I they fired the deadly missiles which ' struck the German cruiser Rluecher, and sent her reeling to the bottom I in the great ficht of last January. ! He pointed out these self same tubes : and told how they had worked. ('First v. e let go that one." he said, j "and then this one. It was this i one that hit the Rluecher amidships. I She was lying off there about 1."'0 ! yards. The thing that impressed ' me after we hit her was the dead ly stillness. It was terribly still until the ship threw up Iier bov. turned clean over and sank. Scat All Out ship. "Yes. thin is the one that did it." ar.d he patted tbt- ---t igth.

Clavos. a fireek Catholic priest of credit for having prevented a pajiic which for more than two weeks almost sinking condition. aes dealing engine affectionately, as if it were a child, as in truth, it had been since he laid the Rluecher low. Soars of battle were all over the ship, which the officers pointed out with the pride that a Heidelberg student displays when he exhibits bis wounds. A deck galley amidships had been entirely shot away, melanite shell having exploded in it. This has been rebuilt.' One dent In the side armor was pointed out, as big as a wash bowl. -The upper works were literally peppered with shrapnel, but the scars were now neatly bandaged with two-inch riveted steel plates, so that the saucy Arethusa was again as good as ever. The party now went abroad the latest type of big destroyers, which are here ranged in great battalions, with steam up. They are very fast, some of them making .17 or .18 knots and even touching 42 knots on a measured mile, while all of them regularly do "5 knots on regular service. His: Submarine Vply. Rying outside of them were the submarines of the D. and E. type, the latter being seagoing craft of great radius, which are now making distant undersea voyages to the Raltic and the Dardanelles. The smaller D boats have the trim outlines of an eight-oared racing shell, but the big new ocean rangers are as ugly as some submarine monster, with a steel fin running fore and aft and a camel's hump amldship for a deck. One of the commanders pointed out their fine qualities. "They can stay under water for 72 hours." he said, "that is three days without any inconvenience to the crew from lack of air. The D boats are good for runs of 2 4 hours under water, but the K boats make 12 hours Just as easily. During these long deep water runs they thread their way through the iskaerrak or skirt around Tencriffe and past Gibraltar, with as much ease under water as if afloat. "The direction and proximity or distance from land are all deter- . mjned with mathematical accuracy , by the science of navigation and the ! steering goes on as easily under water as above." Famous l ighters In Line. There were many famous sea fighters among the destroyers, including th Lance, which helped to sink the Koenig in Luise off Harwich and was in the Heligoland battle. In fact, all these ships had seen batles unless they had just come from the yards, and the Arethusa's men were proud of the fact that she had gone fron the ship yard into a battle. "Yes." said one her officers, "we ; go out or the yard on a Saturday . and we were in the fight by WednesI day. had sunk a battleship and were urday. How is that for a record."

, AT Tin: OMVril. George Scarborough's great melodrama, ' At Ray," was presented at the Oliver theater Sunday afternoon for the first . performance by Laurence Finch and his players. The play is full of punch and spirit, in -which - Iaurence Finch, playing Capt. Iiurence Holbrook, provts himself too much for the police and detective forces. Captain Holbrook tries for the love of Aline Graham, daughter of Görden Graham, district attorney but Is rebuked Reing Lonesome," a two reel I'ssanay. r.re .Mso on the bill. Tomrrrow's Triande pictures are by her father, thinking the captain inferior to .nis daughter. A letter comes to light and falls into the hands of a professional blackmailer. The- letter contains evidence to prove that Miss Graham was secretly married a few years previous to a certain Woolverton and in tryins to regain the letter from the blackmailer she is forced to kill him In selfdefense. The raptain is believed to be connected with the murder while trying to shield his lover and In doing so claims he Is the Woolverton that married Miss Graham. Later the story of her marriage is told bv Miss Graham and the captain proves that Woolverton is dead and the lovers are brought together. The scenes of. the plav are laid in Washington, it being in four acts. It was played in New York city during lLI-KGl and since that time it has had the praise of all newspaper critics and the usual quot i of magazine writers. at im; t in romi M.

The Americans take possession of the historical structure and in a desperate fight with the Mexicans they are all killed but Mrs. Dickinson and her child. They are spared by Santa Anna. at Tin: omMir.r.M. "September Morn" all boiled down to tabloid form, slightly choppy in places where it has been cut, but notwithstanding, a decidedly creditable hour-and-half musical comedy delighted three large audiences on Sunday at the Orpheum. The same catchy songs that gave the original Show its charm, the witty lines and snappy jokes that pervaded the "big" show, put the tabloid over yesterday. Loo Greenwood's interpretation of Rudolph Phytic, alleged professor of art, is nothing short of a scream, lie stands head and shoulders above the rest of the eo-npany, and it was his comedy that held up the show. He also had a few inimitable touches of Iiis own. Grace Vhilders. as Argentinia, the peer of tanvro dancers, did not provo a peer with her dancing last evening. Miss Childcrs was neither a dancer, a singer, nor an exemplary of the "Eroadway type" of danseuse ffite. Mrs. Major Storm with Iottie Wilson at the helm assisted in injecting hfe into the sketch as did Fred Vance as Willie Runkum. the press agent. Of the song hits-which went over big, ".Septt mber Morn." of course, captured the house, aided and abetted by "A S.parerih From the Rutehershop of Eife" and "Where Is the Pleasure In Wine and Song." The music is exceptionally tuneful. AT Tili: KVSAIJii:. The . feature picture at the Iasalle today is entitled "A Price for Folly," and introduces In the principal role Edith Storey, Harry Morey and Antonio Moreno. The story is one of intense dramatic interest, is in five parts and has the scene Hid in Paris, always fascinating background for romance and adventure. Miss Storey plays an actress and Mr. Morey and Mr. Moreno are rivals for her favor. There are exquisite scenic settings, and the theme of the story reveals a true picture of sex instinct. Everywhere the production has been praised for its remarkj able detail and splendid acting. On Tuesday will' be seen Iu Tellegen. the well known English actor who secured a pronounced success in this country in "The Explorer." will be seen in the gripping drama "The Unknown," a story of the famous foreign legion of Algeria, In this photodrama Mr. Tellegen is seen in a character entirely -lifferent from anything he has played heretofore, either on the speaking stage or on the screen. ; The production is of the usual j lavish I-isky character, true to de tail and artiftic in its presentation and. with its wonderful photography, makes a photodrama long to be remembered.
