HELD UP IN AN
ELEVATOR CAGE
A Daring Thug Robs L. T. sowle
at the Chamber of
Commerce.

One Of the boldest robberies in the
citys history occurred at noon today.
when T.. T. Sowle, the Well-known
grain man, was robbed of his purse
while in elevator No. in the Cham
Der of Commerce building.
Two men were operating together,
the one remained on the ground floor
and disappeared when his pal escaped.
The other man entered the ascend
ing elevator car at the second floor.
There, were seven other passengers.
When leaving the fourth floor Mr..
Sowle was suddenly crushed against
the side Of the car while the man de-
nberately extracted his purse from his
victims inside coat pocket.
Mr.. Sowle seized the robber by the
throat and a struggle followed.
Meanwhile the elevator operator
threw open the door at the fifth floor,
and thinking the men were fighting,
put them out. There was no one in
sight and the two were left alone In
the corridor. The thug, who was
about five feet nine inches in height,
of about $50 pounds weight and OF
athletic build, struck Mr.. SoWle Sc
we're blow on the side of the head
| and darted down the stairs, bleeding
slightly from q confusion on the lip.
William Robertson, chief engineer
of the building, had just gone to lunch
and S. r. Harrochs was in charge
Mr.. Harrochs tried to intercept the
robber, but he darted out the side
door and across Fourth street, falling
/ and striking his knee violently while
crossing the streetcar tracks, but still
/ holding Mr.. Sowle's purse. There wa'
only about $40 in the purse.

JAPS TO DEFEND
SEIZURE IN CHI.FU.
Statement Is Being Prepared for
Laying Case Before the
Powers.
Reported That Russian Destroyer
Betrayed Belligerency, and
So Was Taken.

London, Aug. 13.-According to a
news agency dispatch from Toxic, the
Russian torpedoboat destroyer Ryes-
hitelni, which was captured by the
Japanese at Chi-fu is being taken to
a Chinese port.
The Japanese legation this after
noon informed the Associated Press
that the Toxic government will send
a circular note to the powers on the
subject of the seizure Of the Russian
torpedoboat destroyer Ryeshitelni,
but beyond intimating that the ex-
PLANTATION will be on the lines Of the
information furnished by the legation
to the Associated Press today, the
officials were unable to say anything
additional until more fully advised as
to the result Of the official inquiry.
legation, which, however, 1t is said,
is not official, tends to establish the
fact that the Japanese torpedoboat
destroyers entered Chi-fu for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining If the Ryeshitelni
was really dismantled and unable to
take part in future operations, that
the Japanese boats crew was at
tackled by the Russians, and that the
Japanese replied In self-defense, and,
seeing the Ryeshitelni was able to
continue military operations, she was
towed out to sea.
A dispatch from Shanghai, pub
lished in the second edition Of the
Times, says the reason given for the
entrance of the Russian torpedoboat

.LEISHMAN LEAVES
If TURK RESISTS
American Minister Presents, Firm
Demand to ENJOYS Of the
Sultan.
Will Demand Passports if the
Porte Does Not Cease
Trifing.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington. Aug. 13.-Admiral
Jewelps squadron at Smyrna has been
placed under the orders Of Minister
Leishman. If the sultan further de-
lays matters Mr.. Leishman will go
aboard Admiral JEWELS flagship and
diplomatic relations cease. The sui
tan is in a conciliatory mood and
frightened.
Mr.. Hay believes there will be a for
NAL acceptance Of all demands by
Monday.
Correspondence on the subject
practically is ended. 1t is demanded
of the sultan that acceptance Of the
American demands shall be published
in an imperial decree and that they
shall be complied with in letter and
spirit.
The European squadron will be
withdrawn from Turkish waters as
soon as the affair is settled, but it is
now intended to keep the warships
in the Mediterranean. The ostensible
reason will be to protect American
shipping. That will be one reason
but the real reason for their presence
will be that they may be within easy
reach is case the sultan fails to keep
his promise.

THE time is coming" he said,
when North and South America will
be rivals for the commercial honors,
while Europe will guard Africa jeal-

and understand the fertility Of these
southern continents, when, as a mat

American land is hundred times
more fertile than the soil of North

fed on the products of Africa if the
resources of the continent were prop

'such development cannot come
under existing conditions, but the
spread of population to those regions
will tend to bring it about. The ma

EVERY RUSS SHIP DISABLED
Togo Says He Has Divided Enemy's
Fleet without Jap Loss

Toxic, Aug. IA Admiral Togo has

bringing news of success in the battle
off Port Arthur. He has divided the
Russian fleet and damaged every
fighting vessel that carried the cars
no longer be menace to the navi-
cation Of Japan. and It is doubtful IL
there is seaworthy ship in the cars
fleet.
Admiral Togo fought to cripple the
enemy's squadron and keep it in Port
Arthur waters, but at no time risked
losing his battleships and flrst-clasa
cruisers by close fight with the Rus
sian ships. That he could have de-
stroyed them there Is no doubt here.
but it would have been with the
chance of losing or disabling several
of his own heaviest fighting machines
Togo reports that five Russian bat-
tleships appear to have been heavily
damaged in the engagement of Aug.
10. The Pobieda lost two rnasts and.
one Of her heavy guns was disabled.
The flagship Retvizan, which was hit
several times at a distance of $500
yards, seems to have sustained the
greatest injury. The damage inflicted
on the Russian cruisers was compares
lively slight. The Bayan has not az ap-
peared since the engagement. The
damage sustained by the Japanese
vessels has been temporarily repaired.
The course Of the battle, as shown
by navy charts here, discloses that
Togo kept driving the enemy toward
the coast OF Korea in sea line more
than one hundred miles long, always sSs
keeping his own fleet well to ting
! south, so as to prevent the escape OF
the main Russian fleet from Korea

BRYAN LOSES BENNETT
REQUEST OF $4,000

New Haven, Conn. Aug. "a de-
cision adverse to William J. Bryan in
his contest over the will Of the late
P. s. Bennett Of New York and this
city, was handed down by the supreme
court of errors after an all-day ses-
sion.
The decision virtually denies that
Mr.. Bryan is entitled to the $4,000
mentioned in the sealed letter written
by Mr.. Bennett and addressed to his
widow, to be read by her after his
death. BY this letter the widow was
asked to give $4,000 to Mr.. Bryan
and his family.
The decision sustains the opinion
given by the superior court in the
case last spring, and also the decision
of the probate court, before which the
matter was first brought UP.

Turks Tricky, Envoy Firm.

Constantinople, Aug. by ester
days conference between Minister
Leishman and Izzet Pasha, secretary
Of the palace, and Nedjib Nickname,
assistant minister of public works, not
selim Pasha, minister Of mines, as
Leishman's summer residence at
Therapia and lasted eight hours, dur
ing which Izzet Pasha exchanged
communications with the palace.
The fact of sending a palace func-
tionary unacquainted with the ques-
ton to discuss the matter with Mr..
Leishman is typical of Turkish meth
DDS. The sultan's ignoring of the
proper channel, namely the Porte,
Is much commented upon as evidently
being an attempt to delay settle
ment.
In the. course of the discussion the
Turkish delegates attempted to i'm
pugn the character Of some Of the
schools and contested the American
claim to be granted certain priv
leges given to similar French institu-
lions.
Mr. Leishman, however, firmly re-
| fused to consider for a moment any
| suggestion of discrimination and, in
| sisted on a full acceptance of the
American list of about 800 schools,
| hospitals, charitable institutions and
missionary dwellings filed with the
Porte eighteen months ago.
| Leishman Is Firm.
The American minister pointed out
| that the Porte had ample time to
verify the list, but that it had done
nothing, and Mr.. Leishman positively
refused to listen to any suggestion
regarding treatment differing from
that accorded to the schools, ETC., I'M
| n bn MOWERS
The delegates finally left in order to
report to the sultan, promising IA
vorable reply.
The protracted conference appears
to have settled one Of the matters
agreed upon at the time Of the Belru
incident but never executed, namely
the payment to an American either
of Smyrna of the sum of $4,000, the
value Of land on which Moslem refu
gees illegally settled. This amour
will now be paid.
The usual attempts were made t
induce Mr.. Leishman to stop tn
: American squadron from going tt
Smyrna by promising an immediate
; settlement, but the minister declined
to intervene, and he is now in com
munication with Rear Admiral Jewel
regarding arrangements in the even
of a rupture and the consequent de
parture Of the minister from Con
stantinople.
