Berlin, Oct. 22.-Count Wolff Won
Baudissin, a kinsman of Rear Admiral
Won Baudissin, who commanded the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern during
the visit of Prince Henry OF Prussia,
to the United States. has been tried
in the Criminal Court here for libelling
the officers corps of the Fusilier Guard
Regiment belonging to the Household
troops by satirizing them In novel,
entitled First Glass Men" Count
Won Vaudissn escaped with fine of
SIS, and the publishers Of the work
were fined 800. while the court order
ed the destruction OF the conhscated
copies of the book and the plates. The
prosecution was brought by the state
on the ground of the public welfare.
First Glass Men" deals with the
vices and extravagances of officers,
their intense caste spirit and the false
attitude of society toward the officer
class. The entire novel was read in
court.
Won Baudissin, I'm his defense, said
he did not intend to refer to any par
ticular regiment, but to the whole
army. Won Baudissin said the suicide
Of young friend, a lieutenant I'm the

youth was over $16,250 I'm debt, because
lenders exaggerated their respect OF
the officer class and loaned money TO
the class and not TO the individual.

ed on a charge of using the United

After his arrest Gray gave bond, and
the same night escaped on a steamer

United States Marshal Wilson, who
arrested Gray. telegraphed Marshal
Horr as follows:
II arrested Gray yesterday. Judge
absent and United States commissioner
held him under 5000 bond. He jumped

Marshal Horr has reported TO the
United States Attorney General and
asked that the Department OF Justice
have Gray arrested upon his arrival in

Gray formerly lived in Jacksonville.
The accompanying picture is an ex-
cellent likeness of him. His arrest
was brought about through the per-
sistent efforts OF United States post
Office Inspector Fred D. Peer.
Gray's Clever Scheme.
The alleged frauds committed by
Gray consisted in obtaining large
quantities of goods from various mer-
chants In Savannah by falsely repre-
senting himself TO be Nathan Mayo. a
merchant of Surnmerfield. Fla. and
having these shipped to Nathan Mayo
at Rosewood. Fla. II is charged that
Gray managed 10 obtain possession OF
the goods in Jacksonville and sold
them at discount for cash. pocketing
the proceeds.
AS far as known. Gray came 10 Flor
ida -four years ago from New York
state. He located IN Ocala and opened
barber shop. He made a number OF
friends in Ocala and surrounding coun-
try. He moved TO Gainesville in the
early part Of 1902 and for several
months was a barber there. Later he
secured a position as travelling sales
man for the wholesale grocery house

RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE
ADMITTED AS 10000

st. Petersburg, Oct. %. 4:5O p. m.
There is no news of fresh fighting to-
day. Gen. Sakharoff reports under this
mornings date that last night passed
very quietly. There were no collisions.
The war office is not in position
as yet to give figures of the casualties
in the long battle below Mukden, but
everything indicates that the Russian
losses reached 10000, the figure given
by the Associated Press correspondent
at Mukden. Another correspondent
places the loss on both sides at $4,000.
The war office is convinced the Jap
anese losses, while below those of the
Russians, were almost as heavy.

Order Relating to Captain Hitch
Mailed at the Capital and VIII
Probably Reach Him To-day.
Atlanta, Oct. 22.-Adjt. Gen. S. w.
Harris to-day issued the order dis
missing from the military service of
the state Capt. Robert Nj. Hitch of
Company 1. who was found guilty by
court-martial of various charges in
connection with his services at States
boro on the occasion of the lynching of
the two negroes, Reed and Cato. Cop
les of the special order were mailed to-
night to Capt Hitch and Col. G. A.
Gordon, commanding the First Regi-
ment. Until they are in the hands
of these officers the adjutant general
declined to give them out for publi
cation.
1t is known. however, that the or
ders distinctly specify that Capt.
Hitch, while he is disbarred from
holding military office in the state.
may hold any civil office to which he
may be elected.
The new military law provides that
dismissal from the service by court
martial shall disquaiify the officer so
sentenced from holding military or
civil office. There is some doubt as
to the constitutionality of this last
provision with regard to civil office,
though the matter has never been
tested. The law permits the Governor,
however, to modify his order i'm such
cases so as to remove disability as to
civil office, and this the Governor has
ordered done.
The orders suspending and repri-
manding Lieut. George A. Nell and
reprimanding Lieut.. II. l.. Griner Will
probably be issued Monday.
The total cost to the state of the
court-martial was about $14O0. 1t is
stated that the total cost of the
Statesboro affair, including transpor-
tation of the troops the court of in
quiry and the court-martial, was
about $4,000.
