Man Accused OF BwindlinE Steerage Pas
senEers Missing From the Noordland.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 20 When the Ameri-
can liner Noordland reached port to-day
the disappearance of Thomas Hall, steer
age passenger from Manchester, England,

that he was thrown overheard With
his brother-n-law, Frank Allison. Hall
took passage at Liverpool. The vessel
had hardly left the dock before the two
started card game. They won always,
and soon peculiar talk about them was
whispered about.
Last Friday night, after the two had
been winning constantly throughout the
game, the charge of cheating was made and
tight ensued. Allison, who held the money
managed to reach a hiding place Hall
rushed on deck pursued by crowd from
the steerage. The watch heard splash
and saw the men on deck. They asked him
where Hall had gone He reported that
circumstance to the captain and the ship
hove to.
For an hour search was made, but no
trace OF Hall was found. The steerage
passengers who had pursued the men said
that when they reached the deck Hall was
nowhere to be seen. The officers OF the boat
think he jumped overheard through fright.
Passengers think he was thrown over.
No arrests have been made.

GEE! SING SING ATTIRE.
Lively Rumor Started by an Inquisitivc Cop
Wasn't quito True.

Some OF the trains entering the Grand
Central Station were late last night This
caused an inquisitive cop to question
member of train crew as to the reason
therefor. The trainman said that there
had been fire in Sing Sing prison and the
walls had fallen across the New York Cen
trail Railroad, blocking the tracks.
The cop hustled to the telephone and
notified Police Headquarters. The re-
porters heard that the Sing Sing police
had telephoned the police here, and soon
the report had spread to Brooklyn.
As a matter OF fact there was no fire In
Sing Sing prison, but the factory of. the
Metal Furniture Company. about 100 Yards
south Of the prison wall and 500 yards
away from the prison itself, was burned
The building was two stories high, of brick
and wood and as close ton he railroad
York Central tracks, and when the south
bound Adirondack Express pulled into
Ossining it was tagged. The trainmen
piled out and heaped sand on the blazing
ties till they smothered the flames.
The fire on the track was soon out but
things were 80 hot that the train waited for
an hour and forty minutes By that time
the rails had been tested and pronounced
safe. Two other trains were held up be-
hind the Adirondack express.
At Warden Johnson's Office it was said
that there was no excitement in the prison.
and that 1t wasn't even necessary to take
any OF the prisoners from their cells.
According to persons outside Of the prison
the convicts sang:
'There'll bs hot time in Sing Sing
tonight"

seemed to lose all self-control. Addressing
him, she screamed at the top Of her voice:
"You can prosecute me as long as you
wish, but you cannot kill me. You have
ruined me and you have prosecuted me for
seven years, but you cannot put me down. )"
She was auieted and later pleaded guilty
District Attorney Casey her story.
DR.. Shelton said that several years ago
she met King and went through a marriage
ceremony, az she supposed, and lived with
him as his wife. Before her child was born
King went to Europe and remained seven
years Upon his return he married another
woman, and lives in Cambridge, where he
has a private school. DR.. Shelton said
she began writing letters to King COM
planning of his neglect Of her, and since
then, she says, he has persecuted her,
Mr. Casey was greatly interested, and on
his advice DR.. SHELTON Withdrew her plea
Of guilty and pleaded not guilty. the case
being continued until Friday, when King
will have a chance to tell his story DR..
Shelton told the District Attorney that not
only had King bounded her, but his wife
also made trouble for her. DR., Shelton is
a graduate OF Boston University, Is years
old, and has a good practice.

Special Cable Despatch to THE sun
TOXIC, Oct 28-The Russian Minister at
Seoul has recognized that the action OF the
Russians in preventing NJ. Hagiwara, Sec
rotary Of the Japanese Legation at Seoul.
from landing at Yonganrho is illegal
and has instructed the officials there
accordingly.
NJ. Hagiwara reports that the press
kilograms concerning the condition OF
affairs along the Yalu River are greatly
exaggerated.
In an interview to-day Prime Minister
katsura said he deeply regretted the SEN
sational and baseless news that was being
telegraphed to Europe. He declared that
Japan was negotiating with Russia in the
spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which
aimed at peace and the maintenance Of
the status quo. 1t was fair to assume,
he added, that Russia's objects were equally
peaceful. The result ought to be mu-
tually satisfactory. At any rate alarms
were groundless.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The reports Of the
Russo-Japanese dispute published this
morning are more hopeful than for several
days past. The negotiations between the
two Powers are proceeding without hitch.
but nothing is known OF their exact nature.
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says that official information has been
received from st Petersburg and Toxic
to the effect that drafts of Russo-Japan-
ese convention have been approved by
the Car and Count Lanlsdorif, Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Only a few
alterations were necessary.
The differences between the two nations
will soon be settled by friendly com
promise. 1t is stated that meantime both
Governments will continue their war prep
arations as precautionary measures, al
though neither aims at war.

BILTMORE PRESERVES LEASED.
Tract Of 100000 Acres. Separate From MIR.
Vanderbilt's Home. 10 He Thrown Open.

AsHEvILLE, N c., Oct. 20.--Arrange-
ments are now pending between DR.. Schenck
of the Biltmore forestry department and
E. b. Moore Of this city for a long lease
OF George W. Vanderbilt's hunting pre-
serve, comprising about 1000 acres Of
the finest and best st ocked game preserves
in the entire Appalachian system.
This preserve has been almost untouched
for years and is plentifully supplied with
deer, black bear, turkey, pheasant and
quail, and also contains many miles Of
trout streams that are fairly jumping with
these fish. This immense tract il almost
entirely covered with a heavy growth Of
virgin forest, and in it are found many Of
the loftiest and most picturesque noun
tains in North Carolina. Only limited
number of permits for the hunting and
fishing privilege will be granted. The
preserve at all times will be under the per-
sonal direction of DR.. Schenck and patrolled
as heretofore by Mr.. Vanderbilt's game
wardens.
Mr.. Vanderbilts Willingness to lease this
hunting and fishing privilege is due TO the
fact that he expects to spend q year or
more in Europe. He is not an enthusiastic
sportsman. but will retain unlimited game
privileges for himself and his friends.
The game preserve ia separate from the
home tract of about 5000 acres Immediately
surrounding the Biltmore house. The re-
port that the Biltmore estate has been
either partly or entirely closed IL false.
Not a single department on the estate
has been abandoned. More than 800 men
are employed. After Nov. the grounds
will be open three days q week, whereas
