the report which comes from Paris to
the effect that Japan has called the
attention Of the British government
to the possible violation Of neutrality
by Germany and France in permitting
Russia to use their ports in the Far

will be received. Should the Rus

should call upon Great Britain to stop

BODY IS FOUND IN

Remains of the Salvage Corps
Man Are Recovered by the
Firemen

The body of Jacob F. Miller. the
member of the salvage corps who lost
his life in the fire in the Peck building
on Fifth street Tuesday night, was
recovered yesterday.
It was found at the bottom of the
elevator shaft through which he had
fallen, and from the appearance OF the
remains he had died from suffocation
by smoke or had been drowned by the
torrent of water which was poured into
the building.
Except for cut over one eye and
another on his lip the body, although
discolored by the flames and water,
showed no marks of fire.
The firemen are inclined. to believe
he fell down the shaft and was stunned

victim to the water and smoke.

VISITORS DENIED
TO MRS. CHADWICK
Judge Wing Orders This and
Sheriff Tells of Two Making
Trouble

{ CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 16.-Mrs.
Chadwick will from now until the time
of her arraignment in court be rigidly
excluded from all visitors, and even
her son and nurse will be denied per-
mission to see her except on the writ
ten order of United States Marshal
Chandler.
This afternoon an order was re-
ceived at the Jail by Sheriff Barry, di-
recting him to deny all people the
privilege of seeing her, and he at once
ordered that the persons who were in
the Jail with Mrs. Chadwick leave.
This action was in direct opposition
to an order of Marshal Chandler issued
yesterday, in which he directed that
Emil Hoover, the son of Mrs Chad
wick, and the nurse should be admit
ted at any time to see Mrs. Chadwick.
''The order applies to them as well
as anybody else" said the sheriff, "and
1 will ignore the order of Marshal
Chandler. This is county jail and
the federal authorities have nothing to
say about it's administration. If they
don't like the way run it, guess they
can take their prisoners to some other
JAIL
Sheriff Barry has done everything
possible for the comfort of Mrs. Chad
wick, and the implication carried by
Judge Wings order that he was al
lowing too many people to see her was
not pleasing to him.
Says They Make Trouble
Young Hoover and the nurse have
been making trouble ever since Mrs.
Chadwick has been here" he added.
.'They have been saying that too many
people We're being allowed to see Mrs.
Chadwick, and now I think they will
keep out of here themselves
Sheriff Barry further declared that
no visitors to Mrs. Chadwick would be
permitted to see her except In the reg
ular visiting hours of the Jail, which
are from ! to 8 every day except
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The
order of Judge Wing put a stop to
conferences at the Jail, and her attor-
velopments In a legal way until Mrs
Chadwick was brought into the court
room either for arraignment or trial.
Receiver Loeser this evening made
arrangements with Harold Remington
referee In bankruptcy, to examine Mrs.
Chadwick at 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing. Whether or not the inquiry will
be held depends upon the physical
ability of Mrs. Chadwick to undergo
the examination.

Richmond to discontinue his ,~atten-
tons.
Mr.. Richmond had been away for
some months and the interview which
had such tragic ending was the first
the couple had had since his return.
Friends say that on several occa-
sions she had refused to see him, al
though he had made several calls at
her former place OF business. It is
thought he succeeded in making ar
rangements for an interview yester-
day.
Miss Christianson Visits Hotel
Richmond had been stopping at the
Brunswick hotel for several months
how long the attaches of the hotel will
not say, but he had been there at least
six months, for about half year ago he
was stricken with paralysis and imnle-
diately after this he began to carry a
revolver, although never before had he
eyineed a disposition to possess dead
ly weapon.
There was nothing peculiar in his
conduct until after the paralytic stroke,
and when he recovered from this he
seemed to want company, and would
talk all night with the clerks if they
would only accommodate him.
Tuesday night, on the occasion of
the big fire, he stood at the telephone
until nearly morning and called up
every person he knew and told them
exaggerated stories of the damage that
was being wrought, although he was
nowhere near the scene of the fire.
He was at the hotel until about noon
yesterday, when he told the clerk he
was going cut and would return IN
fifteen minutes.
A New Motive
According to a story in circulation
last night, there was another motive
than unrequitted love for the tragedy.
1t is asserted by some of the friends
of Richmond that when he left the
Office of the city clerk to engage in
business with the L. T. Sowle company
he transferred large amount of prop
erty which he had inherited from ms
mother to Miss Christianson in order to
avoid liability in the event that the
business venture should prove disas-
trous
Needing the property for security
with which to engage in another busi
ness deal, he asked for a retransfer,
but it is claimed that Miss Christian
son refused to return it unless certain
conditions to which Richmond would
not comply with were granted.
Miss ChfistiansOn, when taken to the
morgue, was found to have a large
roll of bills on her person, and it is
said there were some papers which
are in the POSSESSION of the coroner,
and it is possible that there will be
some litigation as result.
Miss Belle Christiansen, sister of the
murdered woman, when seen at her
residence on Chicago avenue last night,
refused to discuss the tragedy.

SMOKE THE EXHIBITS
Jury Disposes of Three Hun
dred Pieces of Evidence

There were promises of all sort of
trouble yesterday when the jury in the
case of A. D. Reese, charged with steal
ing 5000 cigars from Northern Pa
cific car, disagreed and reported only
few empty boxes which had contained
about 800 exhibits. These exhibits con-
sisted of cigars, and the court jurors
smoked them during their deliberations.
Judge Harrison was about to take
some action when it was explained
that the railroad company, which had
settled with the merchant who owned
the cigars, and the defendant had
agreed that the jurors might smoke.
