finds ample opportunity to display those
qualities which have given him SO high

The plot has some very exciting scenes
and the sketches Of the modern battlefield,
the exchange, are vivid indeed. The
wheat contest between the Fullertons ana

The Pswtuck ct Tigers walked away
from the Grays LIST night in a contest
that at first presented tho aspects of q
red hot game, but which drifted into a
one sided affair. The Tigers were out to
win and played polo all the time while
the Grays We're delinquent in their block
ing anG team WORK. TIE only goal Sc
cured by tho home team was lost on fouls
by Smith and Menard, the latter being in
clined TO hold, in his eagerness to obtain
the ball. Referee O'Malley's eyesight
seemed to be defective at times for the
Tigers were up to the same trick and
worked 1t successfully. II was a we'll
fought game up to the last period. When
Pierce left lie floor tired from the hard
work, and the lie of the Grays uisap-
peared also. Iations met everything that
came his way, nigh and low, ana the
home team only passed him once for
Keeps. Sword made some tine stops, but
was little off in his judgment several
times. The Whiting brothers proved a
stonewall for the Grays which was next TO
impassable, they saving many hot sho,
at the Tigers cage. The game started off
in lively way, Menard showing up TO
savantage and playing fast, he making
tue first goal on a pass from Canavan
from the side to the front of the cage.
Ihis was the only one secured by the
home team during the evening. Paw.
tucket got the next four, Bone securing
two and Cunning nam called the other
two inside OF a minute. The second
period Pawtucket scored twice, both by
Cunning ham and the Grsys lost the goal
Obtained In the first part, on fouls. The
third period opened up with the score 9
to 0 in favor Of Pawtuckst and chances
very slim for Providence making a
showing with Pierce off the floor.
u Malley sighted foul in this part of the |
game on Pawtucket making thres tn |
their credit thus clipping one goal off.
MOST Oh the work was of the defensive |
and neither club scored during the time
play. Pawtucket still kept up their swift |
gait, however, but the Grsys fell by the |
wayside. Hard luck was with the home |

Thinks rnns Is his SON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-As reported
from Washington, meager details OF the
killing Of Frank Epps an apprentice
on the flagship Olympia. said 10 be a
native of New York, and a sailor named
Montgomery, formerly attached to the
Yorktown, recently reached the state
department.
John M. Epps. a cabnetmaker, whose
place of business is i2i East Twenty
seventh street, says that he has good
reason 10 believe that the Frank Epps
mentioned in the dispatches is his son,
Peter Epps, who left home about three
years ago. The last heard OF the young
man was about two and a half years
ago. when he wrote TO his father from
White Plains, N. Y, saying that he was
going west.
His parents say that the young fellow
was of an adventurous disposition and
frequently stated his inclination to join
the navy. lie was frequent visitor TO
the war vessels in the navy yard here
and took deep interest in battleships
and cruisers OF other nations which vis-
tied this port.
Mr.. Epps Is of the opinion that his son
reached the Pacific coast since he last
heard of him ard there Joined the Amer.
ican navy. He described his SON as be.
Ing about q Yeas old. of medium height.
though inclined Go be tan. when hc left
home having a mole on his right cheek
near the ear and another on his stom
ach and scar on his left shoulder caus-
ed by scalding. Those who knew Frank
Epps IN life win probably be able TO
determine whether he Is the missing
Peter Epps by these marks.

SLAIN BY BOATMEN.
How Montgomery and Epps
Were Killed by Japanese.
ARRESTS FOLLOWED IN EACH CASE.
The Emperor's Representatives &C wash
ington Say the Afiair Cannot Assume
an International Aspect-New York
Man Thinks Epps Was His Son.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Further de-
tails OF the killing of the two American
sailors attached 10 the United States
fleet In Japan have been received here
and have been brought to the attention
OF the department OF state which has
begun an investigation. Montgomery,
It appears, was killed i'm Yokohama
Sept. last. He was not intoxicated,
but was murdered by boatmen. Epps'
case was similar. except that he was
killed at Naeasaki during the present
month. He had been on leave and was
returning aboard ship when murdered.
The testimony gathered shows that he
was perfectly sober and some sailors
on a passing ship, hearing cries for
help, looked over the water in time to
see him being thrown from his boat
Lacking q small boat, they could not
succor him.
His body was found several days lat
er floating in the bay. The Japanese
government was appealed to in each
case, and while some arrests have been
made. the American residents In Ja-
pan feel that the perpetrators Of the
murders are still at large. IL Is said
that every Japanese boat I'm the harbor
IS obliged 20 register its passengers be-
fore carrying them of shore, so that
under ordinary conditions 1t should be
easy to find the guilty parties.
AT the japanese legation It was
stated that the matter had not yet
been brought to their attention. The
legation officials do not regard the mat
ter as serious. They say the Japanese
government gives the amplest protec-
tion TO foreign citizens and sailors and
that II there has been any laxity i'm
these cases the government undoubt-
edly will make the fullest inquiry and
reparatlon.
1t is pointed out, however, that
crimes Of a local and individual charac-
ter cannot assume an international as
pect as the government Is in no way
connected with them, its only province
being TO see that the laws are executed
impartially. giving the same protection
to foreigners as TO Japanese subjects.
In the affray az Kobe, Japan, last
September, IN which a number OF
American sailors from the Yorktown
were injured, IL Is said that the trouble
was between the sailors and coolies
and that the Japanese police came "a
the assistance of the American sailors
The cases are said to be substantially
similar to a number which have oc-
Cured In the western states in which
Japanese subjects have been assaulted
by mobs. Several Of the latter cases
are now pending before the state de-
partment, complaints having beer
made by Japanese.

the Albany station, and when police
sergeant who, with q squad of men,

oner had been taken off at West AL
bany, a few shouts of derision went up
and then everybody made q rush for

save for the fact that there was a
stranger shackled to Captain Woods
and Detective Mccain.
He had on a slouch hat with q peak
and a heavy ulster coat. He wore a
