(By Leased Wire to The Times.) ( By Richard Barry, Special Repre sentative of the Hearst News Serv ice, with the fleet.) Hio Janeiro, Jan. 18 -The people of this city stand in amazement at the spectacle the bay presents. Never before have do many ships of war ridden at anchor at one time In these waters, and the natives stand on shore, counting and pointing at each vessel until, fading from view in the distance, they try hard to discern the last of the vessels to arrive the tor pedo flotilla. Then they discuss with each other the revelation - that has broken upon them, for, while realiz ing In a manner the naval strength of the United States, they had but a faint idea of the awesome grandeur of the Best assomblcd. . In addition to tho sixteen United States battleships and the torpedo flotilla, the entire fleet of Brazilian warships and the German cruiser Bremen aro -anchored in the bay. Scores of small boats are plying be tween the Bhips and shore, carrying the thousands of men , who have shore leave for the day. The city has given Itself up to a gala time. Brazilians, Americans, Germans and people of other nations are merry to gether. The best of feeling prevails, particularly, with regard to the Americans, In the entertaining of whom the natives are enthusiastic. The torpedo flotilla which arrived yesterday is in good shope, with t,he exception of the Lawrence, which is in need of repairs to her machinery. ' These repairs are now being jmade. The crews were fatigued by the vi bration of the vessels, the intense heat, and the lack of ice, but aside from need of a few days' quiet, the men are in excellent condition. It was evident that the men on the flo tllla boats are having a more severe time than those on the battleships, for the smaller vessels plunge heav ily in the rolling seas. While the men are enjoying them selves through, the city, the officers are being entertained at garden pai ties, banquets and sightseeing tours. Shore will no doubt be regrets on oth sides as the fleet weighs anchor on January Jl and heads south. It la almost impossible to describe tho scenes in Rio today. There is a grandeur about the entertaining of our. men that is strange to the peo ' pie of out country. , Refreshments are served along the lakes and on the walks, t Bands playing in the plaza and there Is dancing on the lawn. Weird songs are sung in the cafes and dancing girls strlvp to outdo themselves. Tropical plants and ln tortwined flags add a beautiful touc. of color to the general scene. -. The bands from the Connecticut, tho Georgia, tho Minnesota, and tho Alabama ace coming ashore on Mon day and will give tho natives a taste of American jmislcln the plaza. This fay Is the anniversary of tho found ing of KlQ de Janeiro and the cele bration will be of an especial nature. Two men were arrested yesterday and returned to one of the American . colliers, from wlich they tried . to desert. They told a story of harsh treatment, which was scorned bj the other men on board the vessel. Report About Blowing lTp Flagship -. ft Pure Fake. ..

(By Leased-Wire to The Times.) Baltimore, Md., Jan. 18. United States .Senator F. M. Simmons o.' North Carolina, raised the negro suf frage question at the fifth 'annual ban quet of the North Carolina Society in Baltimore, held at the Belvedere Hotel last night and advised that Maryland adopt the North Carolina law. Ice cream was served In what was styled the "Mikado form,'' a little Jap anese -.fitting on a block wi.th a paper parasol over him. Representative John Sharp Williams saw in it an op portunity-- of twitting Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson about his life as a naval fighter. 'I told my friend Holison," said Mr. Williams, "that it seemed rather cur ious that they were serving Japanese up to him." 'Yes, ami watch me cat him up," re plied Hobson. Mr. Williams said North Carolina was the first state to realize what in dependence really meant. The speaker pleased the members of the society by referring to the fact that-tho first re corded meeting of a committee of pub lic safety In this country took place In Wilmington, N. C- Ho declared that the union owed much to the Idea of public safety as It was enunciated In that meeting at Wilmington. The way to solve the race problem. he went on to say "is to educate the white man and not, as the Yankees say. the negro. The strength of the nation' Is not 'ri tho number of strength of its people, but in their education and knowledge." i DANGER OF A CLASH WITH JAP WAR SHIP (By Cable to The Times.) ' Tokio, Jan. 18 Vice Admiral Saito, minister of the navy, today do. nied that the Japan naval administra tion had any sinister designs in con nection with the American Pacific squadron. "The distribution of our fleet is no secret to America," he said. "The naval attaches are handed daily re. ports showing the 'whereabouts of every vessel. We desire emphatically to say that no vessel of the Japanese fleet is any nearer the Pacific coast of America than Yokosuka. All the ships are on home stations, either at Yokosuka, Kure, or Sasebo. The tor pedo flotilla and submarines are at tho same stations. ; "We have a cruiser at each of the following Chinese ports: Hankow Fuchow, Amoy, and Kin Chow There are two cruisers at Shanghai and three stnall shil ' at Korea. This constitutes all the ships away from home. "Airiilning ship squadron, con sisting of three old cruisers will sail in the direction of Colombo, via Ma nlla, on January 25. "Any statement differing from this Is absolutely without foundation." Commander John Au Dougherty, tho American naval nttachee, when shown this statement, said It was absolutely correct. - Another Moving-Picture Show Fire, (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

(By DOROTHY DIX.) New York, Jan. 18. The courage and self-sacrificing devotion of woman will never have a more signal illus tration than it had when Harry Th.vv's mother and his wife went on Die witness stand to fight for his life. The haughtv old woman was doing tin? hardest thing on earth for her to do breaking tbe alabaster box of her f unify pride at the feet of the law for the sake of saving her son. The -wife's courage was even more heroic, for, for the second time, she went upon the witness stand to tell a story so full of shame and degrada tion that it must blister her tongue as slio utters it a story so revolting; to every sense of decency .in Its details that the district attorney arose in open court and asked that it might be told in camera so that the representatives of tlie press might not hear It again, and that it might not he published again broadcast in the worhL Whether the story be true or false, tlie mere fact that tlie woman is willing to Ml it a second tin tt in order to save the man's life must, as Kipling would say. Be accounted unto her fylv merits." Two more witnesses were introduc ed to complete this picture of pitiful and abnormal childhood. The first of these was Miss Alice Fletcher, the most famous scientific woman in America, professor of anthrophology at Harvard University, and one of the very few women who are members of the famous scientific societies abroad. Miss Fletcher is a lifelong friend of Mrs. William Thaw and has been in the habit of visiting frequent ly at her house ever since Harry was a little child. She said that Harry Thaw was a delicate, nervous child, pale and anaemic looking, and with wild, staring eyes. He was subject to parwxysros and was very deficient mentally, utterly unable to hold his attention to anyone subject for more than a few moments. As he grew up he continued to bo most erratic in his character and con versation, skipping from one subject to another without the slightest rele vancy;. ... The next witness was another wo manCatherine O'Neill who had been seamstress and nurse for six years i.i the Thaw family. These two. women, so wide apart In station and yet whose observations of the little Harry, were so alike, pre pared the way for his mother, who was brought to the witness stand Im mediately afterthe noon recess. Mrs. Thaw has been sick ever since lai t No vember, and in bed for the past two months,-, and" sir? looked ill and worn and ten yours older than the robuBt, well preserved woman of a year ago. Then her face was ruddy, the figure straight -mid alert, her bearing confi dent and proud. Now she is a broken old woman, aged by the sorrows and anxieties that her children have brought upon her more than by time. Her face was pallid, : her shoulders bent ami her 'voice so weak that It was with the utmost difficulty that she made herself heard at all. She was dressed very plainly In black, with a. white scarf folded around hep throat and pinned with a knife blade bar of gold with a single dia mond In it. Her snowy white hair, was parted in the middle and combed down simply in old lady fashion over her temples. On her head she had an. unpretentious black bonnet with a black veil thrown back over It. Mrs. Car negie accompanied her to tbe steps of the witness stand and the mother leaned feebly on the daughter as she walked. . What Mrs. Thaw told was practical ly What she had told at the previous trial, Before sho had finished her testi mony, Mrs. Thaw, feeble and shaken, was excused from the witness stand and her place taken by Evelyn. Evelyn canio tripping up to the stand as lightly as the old woman had , left it heavily. Sne was Qressea as usual In her little schoolgirl frock ot I (Continued on Second Page.) f r 'v-" r. I.,
