st. Petersburg, March S.-There isi
no truth in the reports that the Japa-
nese feet bombarded Vladivostock alil
day long yesterday.
According to the latest information
the feet simply showed itself and
then sailed away without firing gun.
One reason for the appearance OF theI
Japanese in northern waters advanced
here are their probable desire to re-
gain possession of the island Of SAX
halien, which was ceded to Russia bye
Japan. 1t is pointed out that thel
whole of northern Japan will be threat
ened with famine If the food supply
derived from the island Sakhalien
fisheries is cut off, Nine-tenths Of
the exports go to Japan, in addition to
which Japanese boats have been car
rying on piratical firing along the
coast. which has exhausted the fish
supply of the Amur estuary The ma
tive tribes there are suffering from
hunger and typhus. The Russian gov-i
eminent will prepare a gunboat Go-y
tilla on the Amur to provide for the
protection OF the fisheries as soon as
the river is free from ice.
The wife of Admiral Starke, the.
former commander of the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur, has returned
here from Port Arthur. She is very
indignant and denies the report that
Feb. s, all the officers and crews were
ashore attending ball at the time the
japanese attacked the Russian squad
ron. On the night of the attack,
Feb. 8, all the offivers and crews were
ON board at s o'clock in the afternoon
and at o'clock at night the admiral
held a council of war on board the
flagship, instead of opening ball in
honor of his wife's birthday. This
was followed by sham Japanese at
tack at IL o'clock that night confirm
ing in this respect the Associated
Press account of the attack as cabled
March 5.

FATHER OF MANY CHILDREN.
President of Mormon Church Says He
Is Parent of A.

Is Fafenr- or az.
Washington, March S.-At the
Smoot hearing Monday Mr.. Taylor
asked for detailed schedule of Mr..
Smiths children born since 1890, and
over the protest of Mr.. Smith Chair
man Burrows directed that the ques-
ton be answered
Mr.. Smith gave a list of children by
the wives in the order in which he
married them. The list is as follows:
BY Julina-Edith and Rachel.
By Sarah-Asenath and Jennette.
BY Edna-Martha and one child
which died
BY Alice-Fielding Jesse and An
drew.
BY Mary-silas, Agnes, James and
maybe Calvin
He said he did not know the age of
the last named.
Chairman Burrows inquired:
How many children have you
now?"
"Forty-two," was the answer.
"Twenty-one boys and twenty-one
girls and / am proud of every one of
them"
Senator Overman said that he had

we teach is that Jesus Christ was de.
scended through a long line of polyga.
mists through David and down to
Abraham"
With that Mr.. Smith left the stand,
having been the only witness in the

WILL WAR ON POOL ROOMS.
Efforts Being Made to Abolish Them
In Gotham.

In Gotham.
New York, March 8.-There is q
possibility that the war being waged
against the pool rooms of this city
and the telegraph company which
serves to its customers returns from
the various race tracks may result
in tho presentation of a bill in the
legislature which, should it become a
law, will prohibit the transmission of
information relating to racing results
by telegraph or telephone in the state
of New York
Perhaps the most important move
since hostilities began has been the
shutting off of service to a pool room
In Chicago, which, it was said, had
been caught delivering race results
to an agent OF the New York gamblers
for transmission to this city by tele-
phone.

pill after they had gone into a drunk

The sheriff had taken charge of
everything in the house and labels
had been attached to Beseke's furni-
ture, etc., which would have been sold
today.
After a brilliant career and a mar
riagc with an heiress, Beseke had
reached the end of his fortune. He
won the Iron Cross during the war
of 1901 with France, married the
daughter of a rich hotel keeper, there
by having to leave the service as he
married out of his caste, and started
newspaper.
The lieutenant wrote well, but the
paper was not successful and he be-
came sales agent for manufacturer
and then manager of map-making
enterprise. He lived beyond his means
for so years.
Last night the Beseke family had a
box at the circus. At 10 o'clock din.
ner was ordered in from caterer. Be
sel6e was especially gay and tender
and pressed his wife and his three
children to drink lots of champagne.
He died holding his wife's hand tight.

ASKS HEAVY DAMAGES
FROM ELECTRIC CO.
Father of ROsenbaum Boy Seeks
$4,000 Damages.

Suit against the Savannah Electric
Company for $4,000 was filed in the
Superior Court yesterday by Twiggs &
Oliver, counsel for Joseph Rosenbaum,
father of the little boy who was killed
by an electric company car a few days
ago. Carelessness and negligence on
the part of the motorman are the
grounds brought forward why damages
should be awarded.
Under the law, the father could not
claim more than the funeral expenses
of the child, as he had not yet reached
an age where he had any earning pow
er. The father himself. however, was
injured, II is alleged, in the attempt to
rescue his child, and for these injuries
he asks damages. The petition alleges
that the muscles, bones and ligaments
of the right elbow were injured and
the right hip joint severely bruised and
strained.
Negligence is given as the cause of
the accident resulting so fatally. The
father claims that the car had prac-
tically stopped and that he had his
child in such q manner that a rescue
could easily have been effected, had
not the motorman carelessly relaxed
the brake. This. it is claimed. caused
the car to move forward several feet.
