STILL TALKING OF
 KURINO'S LETTER
YOUNG CZECH NOW SAYS JAMS DORFF MISlNTERPRETED THE DOCUMENT, THINKING THAT IT MEANT PEACE.

Berlin, March 7.--Dr. Kramerz, Q young czech, recently reiterated in the Vienna Konserve Correspondenz the statement (cabed to the Associated Press at the time the incident occured) that M. Ku- rino, the former Japanese minister at St. Petersburg accompanied the Japanese note breaking off diplomatic relations by a private letter to Foreign Minister Lams- dorff expressing the hope that the inter- ,ruption of diplomatic relations would be brief, which Count Lamsdorff took to mean that there would be no war, and that, according to Dr. Kramerz, M. Ku- fino's letter was an "abominable fraud"
 The correspondent of the Associated Press showed M Kurino, who is now in Berlin, this statement. He said 1t was indeed true that he had written to Count Lamsdorff a note of farewell, thanking him for personal kindnesses. M. Kurino explained that he had written the note because it would have been improper to have visited him. The note was brief and contained nothing of a political nature. Even If it had, M. Kurino added, Japan 8 official utterances could not be modified, or interpreted by private letter.
 M. Kurino has not positively decided to return to Japan by way of the United States, though he probably will do so.

"coNJUR BAG" PROVED FAKE.
Negroes Figure In Unique Trial In
 Police Court.
the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Noah Wilson, an aged negro, who pro- fesses to be a "conjurer," appeared be- fore Recorder Nash Broyles in police court in the role of defendant to answer to the charge that he im-hammed Lula Williams. also colored, out of the sum of s1.
 The Williams woman had purchased from Wilson an article for $1 that she sup posed to be ''conjur bag" with which she hoped to bring back to her side her sweetheart, but which failed to work and proved itself fake. On discovering this fact, the woman proceeded to have Wilson arrested.
 The woman testified that her sweetheart had left her sometime ago and that she went to Wilson to buy a "conjur bag" She said that the negro sold her a little bag and gave her some incidental instruc- tions, representing that this would bring back the longed-for sweetheart She stated that she followed the instructions implicitly and that every night for several nights she would chant over the little bag, "Oh, honey, won't you come back home" She added that honey did not return, however, and that he has not yet come back
 The prosecutor said that after the bag failed to work, she decided to investigate and cut 1t open On the inside was re- vealed a lot of little scraps of brown pa per. She then felt that she had been cheated out of her money.
 Wilson stated to Judge Broyles that he is a bona fide "conjurer,' and protested that the bag was really "conjur bag but failed to offer any satisfactory ex- planation as to why 1t did not work. The negro reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out two little white roots, which he exhibited to the court with the statement that they were luck pieces.
 T call them my little Adam and Eve roots," he said.
 Judge Broyles finally announced that he would not fine Wilson, on condition that he would return the dollar to the woman, which was done The unique nature of the case and its different details created a great deal of amusement in court during the trial.

WOMAN KILLED
 BY COMMANDMENT
RUSSIANS AT VLADlVOSTOck DID NOT RETURN FIRE FOR FEAR OF DISCLOSING THE POSITION OF THEIR BATTERIES.

Vladivostock. March 7.-Outside of the killing of a woman and wounding a few men, yesterdays bombardment of Vladi- vostock by the Japanese fleet did no ma terial damage. The wooden cottage of an artisan was the only building wholly de- stroyed. It was pierced by shell from a 12-inch gun, which after traversing the roof and wall fell in the yard, killing the woman previously referred to.
 In the quarter of the city called the Dirty Corner" a shel felll on the house of Colonel Shukoff without exploding. It traversed a bedroom, destroyed stove and penetrated the wall. It finally burst near the regimental safe, which was standing in the court yard. A sentry guarding the safe was covered with mud but was not injured. Evidently fearing an outbreak of fire, the sentry shouted Help! Save the regimental colors," :" which were in the house. These ulti- mately were brought out by the coloners wife and the soldiers.
 Five sailors were slightly wounded by the explosion of a shell in the court yard of the Siberian naval barracks.
 Outside of these casualties no one was killed or injured and there was no out break or fire anywhere in the city. The fact that the Russian batteries did not reply to the Japanese bombardment was due partially to the slight chance of hit ting the enemy's warships at such a long range and partially to a desire not to be- tray the position of the batteries.
 It is now thought the attacking squad ron consisted of a battleship, four arm ored cruisers and two unprotected cruis- CTS.
 Last night passed quietly. The inhabi- tants and troops are in unusually high spirits. A strict search Is being made throughout the town for Japanese The police have posted placards on the walls offerings rewards for information as to the whereabouts of the Japanese and threatening with trial by courtmartial any person found guilty of concealing them.

two or three tirnes and that she could not be mistaken. She could not identify a pie ture of Young, however.
 Mrs. Kennedy said she lived with Mr Johnson for about five years, part of the time with the first wife and part of the time away from MT. and Mrs. Johnson. She said she has two children by MT. Johnson, one of which is now living. She separated from MT. Johnson at the end of five years, and about year after that married MT. Kennedy, by whom she has two children Her present husband Is an Episcopalian but she remains in the Mormon church.
 Senator Foraker questioned the witness in regard to the ceremony uniting her to Johnson.
 She said she could not remember much about 1t, except that there were present MT. Johnson Brother Young and McDon- ald. There was no prayer, she said, but she remarked that she stood up and said yes to the questoins that were asked her.
 Then Went to Arizona.
 The witness said she accompanied her husband to Mesa, Ariz., where he was counsellor to the state president.
 why did you separate from your hus- band?" Senator oFraker asked
 well, I could not stand the pressure any longer" she replied.
 .'what do you mean by could not stand the pressue'?' asked Chairman Burrows. "Were you not treated right?'
 .'No, sir. was not she said.
 'sWould you have stayed If you had been treated right? It was not because you were opposed to Mormonism?' she was asked.
 q am a Mormon still" she said, though I am not a very good one
 Received No Marriage Certificate.
 Senator Hoar asked the witness if she had received any form of marriage cer- tihcate from Apostle Young, and she re- piled that she had not.
 MT. Worthington took the witness for cross examination, and asked if she did not know that Brigham Young is now dead.
 ''Yes: I heard so a few weeks ago."
 And MT. Mcdonald? Don't you know that he is dead?" asked MT. Worthington.
 NO; I had not heard that" said Mrs. Kennedy.
 MT. Worthington asked the witness if she knew whether her first husband was living or dead, and was informed that she knew nothing about him, and had not heard from him since their separation. The witness became confused several times under cross-examination, and made some contradictory statements, which for the most part she corrected later when her attention was called to them by the attorney for the prosecution. She was unable to give description of Apostle Young.
 Chairman Burrows adjourned the hear ing until tomorrow with Mrs. Kennedy still on the stand.
