RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS FEAR
BARON TOLL HAS Persisted.
Since He Left Yacht Last Year
for Bennett Island.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 1.-THE Imperial
Academy of Sciences is beginning to enter
tain most serious fears for the polar explor-
er Baron Toll. from whom nothing has been
heard since he left the yacht Zaria. May q.
1902. in company with two Yakouts. and
started for Bennett Island.
The Zaria left its winter quarters early in
June last year to find Baron Toll. as well
as his associate. the BIOLOGIST Birouliu. who
had gone to New Siberia.
The vessel was unable to accomplish its
Mission and returned late In the season to
tie River Lena. Birouliu escaped across the
ace.
Three relief parties were sent out by the
academy In the spring Of 1903. Lieutenant
kolchak and Engineer Brousnev. each with
experienced Yakouts and coast people, pro-
ceeded toward New Siberia and Bennett
Island. while Lieutenant Mattissen under
took to recover the Zaria. Mr.. Brousnev
was also accompanied by Russian and ma
tive traders. who make annual journeys to
this coast for mammoth tusks and furs,
while Lieutenant Kolchak took with him a
portion of the former crew of the Zaria.
There seems to be no doubt that they
reached New Siberia quite early in the sea-
son. as the ice was very strong. and the
present hope is that Baron Toll may have
been able to return to New Siberia.

PROTESTS AGAINST NEW ROAD.
George Fusting Claims Survey BIZ
sects His Residence.

Trouble developed yesterday when the
graders started to work on Wiethaupt ave-
niue. the new county road running from
Patterson to Shackleford avenue. near Flor
issant. 1t was caused by George Fusting,
tenant of the Musick sisters; who decided a
piece Of property for the thoroughfare.
Fusting objected to work on the road for
several reasons, the most serious of which
was that the proposed thoroughfare will
run through the center Of his house. He did
not appreciate the idea Of dissection. as It
would cause him to cross the road every
time he wanted to 20 from his dining room
to his kitchen. and vice versa.
Another objection was thar the road would
run through growing crop OF corn. This
the road. by buying that part OF the crop
that will be destroyed. Trusting then object,
ed to any grading around his house for fear
1t would undermine the foundation and
cause the structure to tumble down upon
him. As a result work In this vicinity was
temporarily stopped.
The new road was named. when dedicate
ed. after Judge John Wiethaupt. II was
made a necessity by the action Of John
Ecker In refusing to let any one remove q
tree that had blown down across a road
vicinity. Eckert always thought the road
was on his property. and when the tree was

DEsTRoYERs COLLIDE
The entire ceremony to-day was mag
nificent and impressive naval spectacle. 1t
was unmarried by the slightest mishap until
just at its conclusion, when the torpedo
boat destroyer Barry rammed the destroy
er Decatur. fortunately, however, doing lit
tie damage
The incident was exciting. 1t occurred
just at the moment when the President was
receiving congratulations upon the success
of the maneuvers.
The first SQUADRON Of destroyers. consist
ing Of the Decatur cambridge. Barry, Dale
and Chauneey. all under command Of Lieu
tenant L. H. Chandler was approaching the
Mayfower at full speed. The vessels were
IN close formation.
Orders were signaled from the Decatur to
the other vessels to form wedge. In exc
cutting the orders, the Decatur swung across
the bow of the Barry. An instant later the
Barry rammed her on the starboard side.
AS the ,ships were running at a speed of
twenty knots the blow was tremendous.
The Decatur listed sharply to port and
seemed to be in serious distress. From the
Mayflower she appeared to be sinking.
The Mayflower's boats were manned in
stantly. but were not lowered, as the Deca-
tur was seen to right herself. In. few
minutes she hoisted signal Of mo serious
damage
President Roosevelt, who was intently
watching the squadron of destroyers when
the accident occurred remarked. that such
accidents. especially to destroyers. were
likely to occur at any time. In the exiscu-
tion of war maneuvers some chances, he
said must be taken. and II the time ever
should come when the navy was afraid of
scratching the paint on vessel its eff
cheney would deterforate materially.
Both the President and Mrs Roosevelt
noted the accident with great caimness, not.
withstanding the fact that their son Kermit
was on board the Decatur at the time Of
the collision. He was standing beside Lieu
tenant Chandler when the vessel ran along
side the Mayfiower to report.
