window of Ayres's room, and after descending TO
the second story disappear through the parlor
window The story corroborates that OF Mr..
Baker who yesterday said he saw woman de-
scend the fire escape shortly after the shots
heard. The woman. who Is described as Of small
stature and with dark hair. descended slowly, and
evidently was afraid of falling. BY passing
through the parlor she might easily have gained

SHAMROCK AT CLOSE VIEW
NAUTICAL EXPERTS ENABLED TO
STUDY THE CHALLENGER'S
LINES AT LAST.

Southampton, May 16.-The arrangements 10
close the dock at Soton. where Shamrock II Is
being overhauled have been abandoned because
ii was found that the public had the legal right
OF entry. Naturally all the shippers and ex-
challenger. she lay quite exposed TO their
view. She thus subjected TO a keener criti-
csm than she has yet received.
Captain Parker, OF the Meteor and Captain
Bevis. OF the Sybarita. were there with a crowd
OF less we'll known sailing masters. The general
run OF Shamrock IFS lines pleased the critics.
but they doubted the wisdom OF throwing heri
beam so far forward. as il was against their
Ideas OF good shape. SOME said that the I'm was
longer than they had expected TO find. The gen.
eraI impression was that the challenger's body
was that Of a thoroughbred racer.
1t has now been found that the damage sus-
tanned under water is less than was anticipated.
Some of the plate rivets had started. and IL is
thought that the challenger had considerable
water board during the race of last Monday
WOrkmen busy all day long IN repairs
about the rudder OF Shamrock III. and the crew
were employed In reburnishing her Manganese
surface as bright and smooth as when she first
entered the water.
Captain Wrlnge. OF Shamrock l. regarding
Mondays RAJ. said that. far he knew. II
was a fair test OF speed He considered that.
IN the form in which the challenger was then
sailing. Shamrock could beat her in fresh
winds and with big head seas. though he adj
mttS that in fine weather. when jaCkyarderS
could De carried. the challenger would probably
beat his boat handsomely. Captain Wringe
would not venture an opinion regarding how
much the new boat may be improved by the
alteration OF her sails and hull now IN progress

SHAMROCK I \ DARK HORSE. ALSO.

London May 16-"The Yachtsman'' to-day
says:
Shamrock, is quite much dark horse as
the challenger. 1t Is probable that Monday
hard wind gave her thu first chance 10 show
what she could really do. We believe she would
have beaten the Columbia at Weymouth. or
course, the result does not argue that the chal-
enger is out Of the hunt. Probably the cup
races will be sailed with backyard tOpsail winds
in such weather the challenger ought 70 beat
Shamrock I by ten minutes in thirty miles IN
our opinion she is Just suited TO Cup race
weather.

New York, Oct 29.-Earl Russell,
whose Nevada divorce did not serve
to save him from three months i'm
prisonment in Holloway Jail for big
amy, Is not to be allowed to land in
this country without an investigation
by the Board of Special Inquiry,
which has the power under the Fed
eral law to exclude persons convicted
of crime. The orders were issued from
Washington to the immigration ofli-
cials to watch all incoming vessels for
the nobleman who married Molly Sum-
merville at Reno the day after he had
obtained n divorce fromsthe British
Countess.
The law Of England does not recog-
nlze divorces of English citizens OBJ
talned in foreign countries. so the
Earl, protesting that his violation of
the law was lnadvertent, still plead
ed guilty before the court of the
House of Lords that convened to try
him. He expected that the court
would consider him only technically
guilty and would pronounce a merely
sentence-one days imprison-
ment or something of the sort.
There We're, however, some circum-
stances connected with the Nevada
divorce, n question as to his deception
or the court as to the residence at

The orders from Washington sug-
gest that perhaps a more powerful In
huence has been invoked to prevent
his lordship carrying out his expressed
purpose in becoming a citizen of this
country. Should he succeed in con-
vincing the Board of Inquiry that the
matter of his conviction under cir
cumstances that would not constitute
crime in this country, however
much 1t was against the Laws of Eng
land, Earl Russell would have the
same right as any other foreigner
to apply for citizenship, but he would
have to renounce his title, something
England holds cannot be done, for
even though the Earl became plain
John f. S. Russell, of Nevada, his
descendants will still be able to de-
mand seat in the English House Of
Lords and all the other privileges Of
members Of the British nobility.
When the Earl is taken in charge
by the immigration Commissioners,
he will be sent to Ellis Island, like
anybody else whose right to land is in
question.
"Thls titled scapegrace," said Hor-
ace Smith, in discussing his appeal to
the immigration authorities, Certain
ly can't become citizen for he has
been adjudged felon and has serv-
ed his sentence. 1t won't do for him
to plead that his divorce from
his first wife is legal In Nevada. We
