Rear Admiral S. S. Robison, com- mander-in-chief of the battle fleet, will :ceed to commander-in-chief of the nited States fleet, relieving Admiral Robert E. Coontz. Rear Admiral C. F.

Williams, com- manding the Naval War College at Newport, R. 1., will take command of the Asiatic fleet with the rank of admiral, succeeding Admiral Thomas Washington. Rear Admiral Roger Welles, manding the val operating bas Hampton Roads, Va., about October 1 will assume command of the European squadron, relieving Admiral Philip Andrews. This carries the promotion to_vice admiral. Rear Admiral Richard H. Jackson, now a nt chief of naval opera- tions at the department here, will be laced in command of the battleship vision of the United States fleet, with the rank of vice admiral. Coontz May Come Here. Assignments of the officers who are to be relieved have not vet been de- termined by the Navy Department. It is probable, however, that Admiral oontz will come to Washington as & member of the general board. These new assignments were an- nounced by the Secretary along with the names of officers picked for pro- motion by the selection board. The new commander of the whole fleet has been commander of the bat- tle fleet since June, 1923, and has had the permanent rank of rear admiral since 1921. He was born in Juniata County, Pa., and graduated from ‘the Academy in 1890. During the World War he was for a time commander of the submarine srees of the Atlantic fleet, then had supervision of all submarines in com- mission with the Pacific and Asfatic and later in conmand of squadron 3 of the patrol force, which combated the German U-boat campaign. Fol- lowing the close of the war he was famed American naval representative on the commission for executing the naval terms of the armistice. He also has served as a member of the general board and as military governor of the Dominican republic. He also has been decorated with the Navy cross “for exceptionally meri- torious service in a duty of great re- sponsibility as commander, submarine force, Atlantic fleet, and general supervisor of all submarines in com- mission.” List for Promotion.

The defendant said he would return, said Faiman, and upon the second visit displaved especial interest in typhold and tuberculosis germs. Tells of Conversation. Shepherd asked how a person could be given germs and was told they could be introduced in food or in cold water, said Faiman, adding that Shep. herd wanted to know if the fact that werms had been fed a person could be revealed in a post-mortem examina- tion. Faiman wet his lips occasionally as he mumbled through his testimony, and for the most part kept his eyes aimed at his feet. “Will the witness please talk louder; the defendant can't hear a word he says,” interrupted Robert Stoll, Shep- herd’s law partner, who throughout the trial has been by Shepherd's side. The jurors strained forward in their seats, those farthest away cupping their ears in an effort to hear. No questions were asked Faiman, as he was given free rein to go on through his story, Prosecutor Crowe, seated directly in front of Falman, urged the witness to “keep your voice up; we can't hear yoi It was on his third visit to the Fai- man school that Shepherd introduced the name of Billy McClintoc! “The next time I saw ShePherd he told me he was the guardian of a boy named Billy McClintock,” said Faiman. Says Shepherd Paid. His next testimony dealt with Shep- herd’s recovery of the letter he sald had been written as the original step in interest in the bacteriology course. “He gave me $50 for the letter, and said that I would be well taken care of financially,” said Faiman. “I told him T could not take chances on something irregular about my place there, as I had spent a lot of money on it. If there was anythin irregular I should be well paid for it.’ The next testimony dealt with Bil- Iy’s sickne: “About two weeks later Billy was taken sick and he told me about it and to sit tight. I did not hear from him again until after Billy died and he telephoned me about it Testimony regarding Shepherd's obtaining germs from Faiman's school were gone over in this man- ner: “He asked me if T had any bac- terial cultures there and I had three tubes of typhoid cultures, one a para-A and one a para-B, which I had received from the health department laboratory a short time previously, and I took out these tubes and un- covered one of them and made a slide of it. Tests Are Explained. “We stained the slide with meth- vlene blue so it did not show the fra- gility, organs of locomotion of the bacteria, because that takes a special stain and a little more technique, takes a longer time to m it, showing that this bacteria had to be identified under an oil immersion lens, which magnifies the germ about 1,100 times, from 1,000 to 1,100 times. He was interested in three cultures and said he would like to have them; wgnted to know what they cost. I told him he could get them free at the health department laboratory, where I got those. right on the tubes, and he said he would like to have them and I told him that he could have them: it didn’t Tom Tardy was jush one of them. e had” ability: he was well *liked—promo- tion was within his reach.

I asked him about at- tending a course. * * ¢ “I asked him what he was going to do about the course, and he said he was very busy but he would see me later and take care of everything all right. That was about all of the three visits at the university. “I did not hear from him. “The holidays were coming then and I discussed with Mr. Marchand about.” “I object, your honor, to any dis- Marchand,” said Mr. Stewart, and the objection was sustained. Criminal Use Up. “A. number of months later—I aid not hear from him for a number of months, until about April or May, after the holidays—Mr. Shepherd call- ed me up and 1 made an appointment with him at the Palmer House. I met him there, right after class. I re- member it was late In the afternoon, and we discussed the various micro- organisms. He asked me about the criminal phases of bacteriology. I told him that would be a very good course to put in the university, and he asked me if I had known of any cases that bacteria were used in as criminal means, and I told him that there were undoubtedly some, but they were never brought out; I never heard of it being brought out in a trial; and we talked about the vir- ability of tuberculosis germs. I told him they act very slowly and some- times take a number of years to take effect on the body; in fact, you could carry them for life without being noticeably affected, and he asked me how ‘he bacteria usually enters the body. Infection Is Explained. “I told him the different means that the different bacteria entered the body —some through food, some through water and some just through the air, by respiration—and I told him that tuberculosis bacillus is usually in- haled and settles in the lungs, and told him that typhoid is usually taken in food or milk or water, but gener- ally through contaminated water in localities where sewage enters directly into the source of water supply. “He asked me how the disease was detected and I told him that there was a serological test made in the labora- tory with the patient’s blood and the bacterfa. They are mixed together, and if the blood stops the bacteria from moving that shows that the patient has typhoid fever, indirectly that this could not be found out until after at least 8 or 10 days of the infection, because the germ stayed in the blood for about that time and then they left off focl, which they usually are found in, such as the pyers patches in the lymph glands and the small intestines and the mesenteric gland and In the spleen and liver. Could Culture Blood. “I told him that the blood could sometimes be cultured if the doctor had any idea of what the disease was, the first two days—the first few days when he called on the patient he could take the blood and make a cul- ture on it and build up the germ. This was not usually done, because very few doctors recognized typhoid fever at once. “He also spoke about the diphtheria bacilli and T told him that adults didn’t get it near as frequently as children; | that it was just common in infants and children and that it was usually inhaled or sometimes taken through infected milk. “I asked him about the cultures, the germs I had given him previously, and he sald that they looked all right, and I told him if there was any green or colored moulds forming on the top that showed that they were contam inated, and it was no longer a pure culture, although germs, the typhoid bacillus, should still be present in them. I think that was all about that visit. Water Best Medium. “He made an appointment—we made an appointment for the follow- ing Wednesday, and this was also made at the Palmer House, and I met Mr. Shepherd right after noon and we discussed again the various infections, especially typhold and diphtheria, and he asked me what the best way a person would be infected or the surest way of an infection, most common and I told him that it was through water, because when wafer entered the stomach bacilll, you could not see te germ in it. It could be clear as crystal and have no taste and still could be loaded by the typhold bacilli or other germs. Made No Appointment. Ve did not make any definite appointment at that time, but Mr. Shepherd said he would call me up,” continued the frightened-appearing witness. ‘“‘Along a few months later, in June or July, Mr. Shepherd called me up and ‘we made an appointment for luncheon at the Atlantic Hotel. He sald he wanted to see me about some things, and I went down there STAR, - WASHINGTO. The girl to whom young “Billy” Mec- Clintock was engaged, - boarded the witness stand at the trial of William Darling Shepherd in Chicago, and be- fore a packed courtroom told how Shepherd, who is charged with the million-dollar orphan’s (death, had in- terposed obstacles to their marriage during her flance’s fatal illness. Her testimony brought thetrial to a cru- cial point. , just before noon and we had luncheon in the grill room and resumed our former discussion on the bacteria and kept talking about it, reviewing some of these things we had spoken of before, and also we ‘were’ talking of family or personal affairs. “Mr. Shep- herd told me that he hpd an adopted son, that he was .guardian, of the boy, and I told him it was ‘nice for him, as he did not have any of his own, and he sald that the boy was worth a lot of money, probibly one or two millions, and he told gne what his name was; his name was Billy and we spoke about him. . I asked him how old he .was, and he said he was becoming of age now.'and I told him it would put him in kind of a bad fix to lose him when he becomes of age I asked him about if he arranged any will for him, and he said that he had arranged his will; that he could do practically as he wanted with it, and I told him'it was very fortunate for him to have an adppted, bgy, especially with a lot of money. “After some more discussion on the bacteria and the modes, of infection v f ;typhoid fever | leaves, after he becomes of age and C, and diphtheria we left and made an appointment for the week following, at the same place. At the next meeting were discussed some of the subjects in general that were covered before, and Billy also was brought into the conversation again. “I asked him if Billy ran about much,” sald Faiman. “He told me that he did; that he was engaged to Miss Pope, and I asked him if he knew when they were going to be married, and he said he expected they would get married any time, and I told him that that would leave him out in the cold on the will proposi- tlo e said that he didn't know ex- actly how it would affect him, but he didn’t think it would be favorable, and I told him that he ought to make soms arrangements of some kindy to take care of himself after the boy is married, and he told me that he has had his mind on something and he could figure out things all right for himself. “I asked him what he intended to do about his going into the work out at the school. He said he was so busy with these other things on his mind that he did not have time to think about it at present, and he had kind of lost interest in it, and that was about all there was at that meeting.” “We left there without making a definite appointment. Mr. Shepherd sald he would call me up and ] didn’t see him for some time after- ward. It was about the middle of October, Mr. Shepherd called me up and I made an appointment with him at the Sherman House. He told me that he had had his plans all arranged to prepare the typhold cul- tures and put them in some water. I told him that that was about the only way vou could give them to be anywhere near sure of an_infection, and also told him that all persons were not susceptible to the disease, because they have natural immunity | ot them. “I told him definitely how the bac- teria worked in the body, hay they cause death by three or four definite means. i Tells of Diagnosis. ! “I also explained that nobody would | hardly be able to diagnose the dis ease for at least two weeks after the onset. He asked me about the treat- ment of the disease and I told him it was hard to treat except that the patient had a strong natural immu- nity, and he asked me about the vac- cines used in the Army and I told him that if used as a prophylactic they were successful, but as a treatment THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1925. they were not used very much be- cause they didn't do any good. The best treatment was just hygienic, rat- ural methods. He toid me he would call me later and tell me how things were progressing.” Recovery of the letter Shepherd was alleged to have written was dealt with in this verbatim form: “About two weeks later or three, probahly, Mr. Shepherd came to the university and asked me how we keep our records there, and ] told him we didn’t_have much record to keep out- side of the letter files and records of the graduate students. He said that he thought I had something of great importance to him. Girl's Letters Printed. The Chicago Tribune today printed another series of letters written by Isabelle Pope to McClintock, her flance. The letters were written while Mc- Clintock was at Dartmouth College, before their eggagement was announ ed. The only reference to the Shep- herds in these letters is contajned in this sentence, written May 12, 1924: “No, we couldn’t announce an; thing, probably ‘not for some time— certainly not this Christmas, though I surely would like to. One reason is that our marrfage is too far distant, and another because of your famil When we announce it I will, of course, have the dinner party, either I or one y famjly.” Some excerpts from the letters of Miss Pope follow: “It is proven, to myself at least, that I love you far more than you love me. You will say it isn't true, but it is, dear.” Actions Displeased Fiancee. “You asked about whether you should go out or not. I feel like a selfish cad when I say no, for I want ¥ou to have a good time, but, truth- fully, I feel funny when vou do. Call it selfishness, foolish pride, jealousy, anything, and it may be all of that. 1 only know this, that whether foolish | or not, convention has handed it down that the man just doesn't, that's all. + + s+ Every girl I've talked to feels the same way, and it just hurts a little, that's all. * ¢ v, dear, it doesn’t matter a great deal, e for I love vou and trust you to do the right thing by me.” 0, what a snooty letter from you today, dear! You used that very bossy tone that I dom’t like, and which makes me more stubborn than ever. Most of the lettedwas given over to oldings, as you'd scold a little child * * + 1 love you, darling, more than words can tell.” The latter letter mentions that she had made another man ‘so sad and so unhappy.” POWERS BREAK UP SHANGHAI PARLEY; NEW RIOTS OCCUR| which is the foundation of the Chris- | tian religion.
