The difficult operation of getting the sixteen huge battleships out of the marrow war basin of the port was ac- complished with a skill and' perfection of manoeuvring and detail which won the.admiration of all the foreign naval officers, who watched the proceedings critically from land and sea. Admiral Sperry directed the movement from ghe after bridge of the Connecticut. ‘At 865 o'clock signal flags on the flag- #hip communicated the order to get under way to the Georgia, the Ne- braske, the New Jersey, the Rhode Irland and the Virginia, lying at the rear of the basin, and five minutes later the Georgia led the way out, with Lieut.-Commander George W. Kline on the bridge.

The Connecticut steamed along the line of the waiting American vessels, took place at the head of the column, and set the guide flag, “Five of clubs.” The fifteen other vessels wheeled in behind her, and moved to the south. The alignment of the ships was per- fect and the spectacle was so impres- sive that the spectators crowding the terraces of the Alemada and Europa Point could not restrain exclamations of delight, while the American pas- sengers on two liners anchored mnear shore burst into cheers, Headed Abruptly to the Westward. For a distance of about twelve miles the fleet stood to the south.

HAZELTON, NEW HAVEN, Probably Killed About the Middle of ‘December—The Crime Discovered Last Saturday Night by Landlord. New Haven, Conn,, Feb. 7.—Coroner Mix conciuded his examination today in the death of Mrs. James Hazelton, the colored woman, whose body was found in a trunk at her home, 76 Faton street, last night. The woman's husband has been charged with caus- ing her death and efforts are being made to locate him. Body Not Dismembered. 1t developed today that the body had not been dismembered, as was at first thougit, but that in order to get it into the trunk a hammer had evidently been used to pound'it in. The theory worked out by the police is to the effect that Hazelton probably killed his wife during a quarrel by hitting her on the head with a hammer, as the skull was fractured. From the marks and bloodstaing on a couch in the om it was evident that when killed Hazelton was Iving down. After killing his wife, Hazelton attempted to put the body in the trunk, but found the latter too small and used the ham- mer to pound the body in, as it is cov- ered with hammer marks. The murder is thought to have been committed some time between Dec. 17 and 25 last, as on the former dgte she was visited by her daughter. - Doors Locked Sincs Just Before Chri ma: The tenement in which the body was found is owned by W. D. Judson and the renting of rooms in the house was in charge of Harris Obrasky of No, 3 Shelton avenue.

Other attempts were made to collect, but each time th Joors were found locked. Although no notice had been given by the Hazel- tons that they intended to leave, Obrasky made no attempt (o enter the rooms, as the furniture was owned by the landford. A week ago he put pad- locks on the doors to prevent the fur- | niture from being stolen and paid no more attentfon to the matter until an application was made ' to rent the rooms. Last night the rooms were en- for the purpose of removing the | ure to an empty apartment. Most | of the articles of-furniture had been removed when a bloody shirt was found , underneath a bed, foliowed by \ the finding of another shirt covered with lodd in the corner of the bed- room, Police Found Locked Trunk. The police were notified and on making an_examination of the rooms found a locked trunk. This was forced open and the bhody of Mrs. Hazelton found. The skull was fractured and the rest of the body covered with brulses evidently made in pounding the body into the trunk. Family Quarrels. According tp neighbors the Hazel- tons frequently quarrelled. though the family living underneath do not re- member of hearing sounds of a quar- rel during the time tI murder is sup- posed to have been committed. About two years ago Mrs. Hazelton was obliged to go to a local hospital for treatment for a razor cut which had been inflicted by her husband, Thres months ago she went to the same in- stitution, suffering from hot water | burns infilcted by her husband, who turnod a kettle of hot water over her | head. Mre. Hazelton was abowt 34 years | 0ld and this was her second marriage, the first husband, by the name of Todd, dying about five years ago. She Fad one daughter, Viola Todd, 18 years old, who on her mother's second mar- riage went to live with a family on Webster sireet. The police record shows that Mrs. Hazelton had been ar- rested twice for breach of the peace, once heforc and once after her mar- riage to Hazelton. Husband Has Long Police Court Rec- ord. Hazelton is about 34 years old and has relatives living in Highwood. He | had no steady emvloyment, but worked at odd jobs, mostly as a teamster.
