THE PICTURE
Has Not Faded From Parker's Back
Cousin Says he Was Never
Tattooed.

New York, August S-StilI as
plainly delineated as on Friday ev-
ening, when it appeared after ahash
of lightning, is the picture of the
crucifixion upon the back of Abbott
Parker, of Morristown, n J. Though
his back is sore in places, Parker IS
gaining strength rapidly, and has sat
up several times in the private room
at All Souls Hospital Museum
agents and curiosity seekers beseiged
the hospital today, but none were al
lowed to see Parker.
Charles Simpson, who says he is
a cousin of Parker. and who left Bos-
ton with him two weeks ago, Is at a
boarding house in Market street, in
Moristown. He declares that he has
known Abbott Parker since he was
boy, and never heard Of him having
been tatooed. During the ten days
they have been in Morristown Parker,
who is an excellent swimmer and loves
to be in the water, never let day
go by on which he did not take a
swim. Simpson accompanied him on
every occasion, neither of them wear
ing even so much as trunks, and he
never saw a sign Of picture on Par
ker's back. After swimming for half
an hour or so they wouldxcome out
upon the bank and dry, an Simpson
says if Parker was tatooed he would
certainly have seen it on these oeca-
sions, if not on any other.
Besides, he says, each time they
went in swimming boys also were
bathing In the same place, and ta-
tooed back would have attracted their
attention.

WAR NEWS.

st. Petersburg, August GA dis
patch from General Stoessel at Port
Arthur says the Russians withdrew
from Wolf Hill on July 80. owing to
numerical superiority of the japanese.
Wolf Hill is about five miles south
west of the harbor entrance.
st. Petersburg, August 9.-The
news is coming that battle is ex-
pected hourly. The opinion is divid-
ed whether there will be a general en-
gagement or another rear guard ac-
ton.
st. Petersburg, August 9.-General
Sakharoff telegraphs there is no
change in the situation about Lao
Yang.
Che Foo, August 9.-From a source
hitherto reliable it is said there is
good reason to believe the Japanese
are renewing their attack on the outer
positions at Port Arthur. Officers of
the Fuerst Bismark lying at the outer
edge of this harbor express the opin-
ion that war ships were engaged about
twenty miles northwest of Che Foo.
They could see the flashes of their
guns. Other steamers entering the
harbor today heard no firing.

SUFFER IMMENSE LOSS

Indianapolis, August 9.-Running
sixty to seventy miles an hour on the
~fastest piece of track between Indian
apolis and ST. Louis train No. 20 on
the Vandalia line, due here at 2:50
o clock, was ditched and partly burn
ed yesterday afternoon at Plainfeld,
twelve miles west Of this city.
Heaps Of ashes and piles of twisted
steel within a hundred yards Of the
little station represent this morning
what was yesterday half of the Van
dalia' s crack daylight train.
Yet not one life was lost and the
seriously injured do not number many
more than dozen, although the train
was crowded with 800 people.
Railroad men said it was a remark
able wreck. These are the results in
brief:
Half of the train which consisted of
two mail ears, baggage car, two
day coaches, two Pullmans and din
er, was derailed The two mail cars,
the smoker and one day coach were
burned. The baggage car was smash
ed to pieces.
Four freight cars Of a string of
ten standing on a siding just east Of
the Plainfeld station and exactly at
the point where the wreck occurred
were burned.
~ 1.-The sPlainfefd grain elevator, IN
! front Of which the wrecked cars were
heaped, was burned to the ground.
The fire, starting from a lamp IN
one Of the mail cars, also threatened
to take a cabinet factory and the
tank station of the Standard Oil
company.
All of this happened, it is supposed
because a journal on the rear truck
of the engine tender broke just as the
express dashed past the Plainfield
station, having dropped down the
heavy hill west of Plainfeld like a
shot from a cannon.
Raymond Lichtenfels, of Richmond,
was a passenger, but escaped injury
aside from terrible jolting.

RICHMOND'S
SUPT. POLICE
Has Gone to Terre Haute With War
rant for His Arrest-Pickens'
Career.

Terre Haute, August 9.-Five thou
sand people left the fair grounds Sun
day evening after waiting all after
noon to see the much advertised auto
mobile race of "Jed' Newkirk and
the ''terrible man-killing 999.'. The
race was not run, but after Manager
w. II. Pickens had been arrested and
taken to police headquarters he agreed
to remain in Terre Haute until next
Sunday and then give free exhibi-
ton, in which No. 999 would go
against the worlds auto record for
five miles on a circular track. Terre
Haute has been subjected to many
frosts in the way of Sunday enter
tainments, but the advertised automo-
bile race was the worst ever. A pro-
gram Of local races was advertised,
and only this part was given. Poor as
it was, it furnished pastime for the
people who had paid their money and
no doubt saved the owner and man.
ager of No. 900 some rough treatment
at the hands of crowd Of ieering
men and boys The greatest excite
ment of the afternoon was when a
section Of the fence fell down and
spilled forty boys and men on the
ground No one was hurt.
No. 900 was brought on the track
late IN the afternoon and an apparent
effort made to start the machine, but
it would not 90 and the people became
impatient. At $50 the race was de-
clared off.
Immediately Captain Jack Beattie
arrested W. H. Pickens, manager of
the automobile, and hurried him to
police headquarters. The arrest was
made while crowd Of boys and men
surrounded the advertised racer and
demanded some satisfaction for their
gate money. Pickens was taken to
headquarters where Superintendent
Lyons examined him. He showed tel
egrams stating that a new piece of
machinery had been ordered from De-
troit and explained that in placing a
new pisten the sparker got out of Or
der and could not be repaired. The
investigation was carried further, un-
til it was shown that the gate receipts
amounting to 81 1000, were not in
Pickens' hands, but had been taken by
John S. Cox, Logan Hughes an6
Charles Pugh. Then Pickens agreed
to retain the machine here and race
it free Of charge next Sunday after
noon and he was released.
(The program at Terre Haute was
exactly the same as that carried ou
here. Pickens arranged a local pro
gram and used names Of local people
to carry out the scheme. He also
promised to race the following Sunda,
the same as he did at Terre Haute.
