THREE MEN LOST.
Tragic Trip of the Hawaiian Bark
John Ena.

TACOMA, September 1.-The Ameri-
can bark John Ena, which arrived at
Kobe from New York in August, had a
tragic voyage. Captain Madsen de-
clares that during his long life at sea he
never before experienced such a sue
cession of misfortunes. Three lives
were lost during the voyage and a
fourth man was badly injured.
Just outside of Sandy Hook, with a
smooth sea, one of his men fell from a
high mast and was killed instantly
Early in June a hurricanewas encoun-
tered southwest of Cape Horn. When
it ended both mates had been washed
overheard and one of the lifeboats
smashed into splinters. A young man
having but slight knowledge of naVi-
cation and who had been but one year
at sea, was made chief officer. The
following week he was knocked down
by a big sea. His arm was broken,
rendering him idle for the balance of
the voyage. Between Manila and Kobe
three typhoons We're encountered, the
barometer dropping to nearly twenty
eight With the exception of two
smashed boats the vessel arrived in
perfect condition.

NAVY WILL TAKE TRANSPORTS.

WASHINGTON, September S.-The
Navy Department has decided after all,
to take over four army transports. AS
sistant Secretary Darling said today
that the department was negotiating
for the transfer of the transports Law
ton, Grant, Hancock and the hospital
ship Relief, and that the vessels would
probably soon be in the hands of the
Navy. The object of acquiring the
transports Is partly to relieve the fast
cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis,
now serving as receiving ships at New
York and League island respectively.
Two of the transports will probably be
ordered soon to the Atlantic coast so
that the Minneapolis and Columbia may
be prepared for participation in the au-
tumn maneuvers off Culebra island.
The Navy is in need of a hospital and
relief ship, according to Assistant Sec
rotary Darling, and the Relief will be
just what Is required.

ELECTRICITY AND NOT HEAT
PROFESSOR LOEB,S THEORY OF
 THE BASIS OF FIFE.
Further Results of His Famous Expert ments-Does Nat Claim to Have Solved tho Problem of @Vhat is Life,n but to Have Proved Theory Which Over- throws Fundame ental Portion of tine Teachings of Text Books on Physi- OIogy,

Chicago, Dec. 31--Professor Jacques
 Loeb of the University of Chicago to-
 day in paper read before section
 of the American Society of Naturalists'
 convention made the announcement
 that he had discovered the physical
 processes that accompany life. that
 electricity and not heat energy is the [ basis of life. He does not claim to have solved the problem Of What is Life" i but to have proved a theory which overthrows a fundamental portion of the teachings of textbooks on physiol- ogy.
 The energy of food stuffs.'' Profess BOT Loeb said. as conclusion. and the motions of heart are not, after all, due to the production of heat, but to the chemical energy in electrically charged molecules and again he put 1t this way: "A part of the chemical energy of foodstuffs is transformed into electrical energy, which, In turn. gives energy to the muscles and organs of the body"
 Dr. Loeb described his experiments with a iellyfish and explained that when he placed the fish into solution electrically charged. such as salt it re- sponded, while, when he subjected 1t to a solution that was non-conductor, it did not respond. Proceeding from fur ther experiments. he found: First, that the muscles contracted ryt hmioally in solutions which had these electrical charges in them, and second, that the contraction of the muscles depended on the number of charges on the differen- tions
 The announcement that electricity and not heat is the life energy is the climax of Professor Loeb's famous ex- perments, which have extended over ten years. He was first led into this line of research by the observation that electricity was able to effect protoplasm in more universal manner than any other stimulus. He then came to the conclusion that if electricity was able to have such effects in tine form of cur rents it ought to have like results when in the form of ions" An lion" he explains, is an atom or group of atoms carrying charge of electricity.
 It was said tonight that while pr. Loeb's experiments in prolonging life were important and interesting thus far they were applicable only in tho case of single animal cell and there fore of narrow limitation,
 A number of experiments were de- scribed by Professor Now of the Uni versity of Michigan to demonstrate the power of his new germicide. Germs to the multitude of 1.0oo.o00,0O0 in saliva were immediately killed. The throat of diphtheretic dog was sprayed with it, and the dog was cured more speed fly than by the anti-toxin treatment

TURNER'S FALLs TRAGHDY.
JeweIer Kills His Young Woman Clerk
 and Child Others Shot.

Turner's Falls, Mass, Dec. 31.--Louis Bitzer, who shot and killed his clerk,
 Miss Ida Columbe. and his five year
 old son, and attempted to take the lives
 of his wife and two other children to-
 day, was taken to the Franklin county
 jail in Greenfield late this afternoon
 and will be given a hearing in the dis
 trict court to- morrow morning. He
 will be charged with murder, and it Is
 likely that he will be held for the grand jury, which will convene in
 March Friends of Bttzer claim that
 he was insane when he committed the murders, but the officers after careful investigation, say that they have se- cured no evidence to bear out that claim.
 There have been few developments during the day and the tragedy has created a great sensation. The autop- sies this afternoon by Medical Exanin- or Twitchell of Greenfield assisted by Drs. Stetson and Leary, showed that Miss Ida Columbe and the boy, Louis Bitzer, died instantly. In both cases, the bullets penetrated their brains The autopsy put at rest all disagreeable rumors regarding Miss Columbe, as it showed that she was pure girl. The two bodies have been turned over to the mother of Mir. Bitzer, but no ar engagements for the funerals have been made.
 Mrs. Christina Bitzer, wife of the murderer and Carrie Bftzer, the twelve year old daughter, are both resting comfortably at the Farren hospital in Greenfield Their wounds are not dangerous The condition of Annie, the sixteen-y year-old daughter, is more critical, but attending physicians are hopeful for her recovery The bullet is buried in her skull and no attempt has yet been made to extract it. At .. late hour tonight her temperature was 100 and pulse 1l6.
 Bitzer is said to be financially en- barrassed in the jewelry business he has carried on here. He failed in 1888 and was discharged by the court two years later Since that time he had carried on the business under the name of M. W. Bitzer. Martin J. Sauter of Greenfield, who loaned MT. Bftzer s1. .0oo when he opened the store the second | lime, was here late this afternoon and | said he was going to put an attach | nent on the jewelry store to satisfy his ] ,laim.
 Minor matters are cited by the towns | people to show that Bitzer had acted | strangely for several months. ]

THEBAUD DIAMONDS FOUND
S3O,OOO WORTH OF THBM RECOV-
 ERRD BY POLICE.
Most of the Jewels Discovered in n Pawnshop and tho Rest i'm kcrn's SatcheI i'm the Possession of Woman in Hotei-Identity Of the Woman Ar- rested Tine Wife of Waiter-She and Kern Intended to Flee the Country.

New York. Dec. 31.-It was made
 known at the detective bureau to-day
 that $3O 900 worth of the jewelry stolen from Paul G. Thebaud had been recov- cred. Some of it was found in pawn l shop in this city and the rest in a satchel found in a hotel Kern had left the jewelry with the pawnbroker and was to have received a loan of $1,- 800. He received $700 and was to have returned yesterday for $500 and the ticket. He did not come back.
 Detective Captain Titus said he had learned that on Sunday Kern, the valet, had called on man who worked for a pawnbroker in this city and had shown the jewelry, saying that he wanted to get $1,500 on the jewels. This man took Kern to his employer, where Kern put down the jewelry. The pawnbroker told him to come to his place the next day and get the money. Kern said it was a matter of life or death as he had to have the money, and the pawnbroker gave him s700, tell ing him to come the next day and get the balance, $500 and the ticket for the articles,
 In making public the list of articles recovered Captain Titus said that most of the goods were found in the pawn shop, the location of which or the name of the proprietor. he refused to make public, and that the remainder was found in Kern's satchel found in hotel in this city. Among the jewels recov- cred was a pear-shaped diamond pen dant valued at $20,000,
 The police have in custody Mrs. Poil- lon, wife of walter She is a native of Switzerland an dwas friendly with Kern She was arrested last night, but the police kept her identity secret until tonight She was arrested on the street after having been at hotel with In them was some of Kern's clothing and some of the Thebaud jewelry. She denies any knowledge of the crime un- til after 1t was committee and said she and Kern had planned to go to Switz- erland and live there. She declares she does not know what has become of Kern.
 A theory advanced tonight was that the package reported to have been sent delphia and ITO be held until called for" contained $500, or part of the s1. 800 which Kern was to obtain from pledg- ing the jewels. The police would not admit this, however.
