the Merchants bridge. which he states Il

Names Versatile Sportswoman.

From the Illustrated Sporting News
Maine possesses a sportswoman in the
person of Miss Ethel NJ. Russell Of Angus
ia, Me. who is in many ways without a
peer First and foremost she is thoroughly
acquainted with the national game and can
not only score a contest perfectly, but tell
all the fine points, when the players should
steal. whether 1t is the proper thing to
sacrifice or line out hit. Miss Russell is
a splendid type Of outing girl-tall well
proportional. standing feet 3-4 inches in
her stocking feet, and tips the scales at
155 pounds. She was graduated from Col
by in the class of 1900 While in college
Miss Russell was captain for two years
and the strongest player of the basket ball
team. and was PROMINENT in other sports
as well. When croquet was enjoying its
greatest popularity, this remarkable Maine
girl won tournament after tournament.
She is a clever handler of a pair of oars
and often rows eight or nine miles at a
time. AS base ball player she stands pre-
woman's base ball club in her birthplace,
Weld Me-, which was very successful.
Miss Russell went behind the bat and
caught good game throughout the clubs
existence, her throwing to second making
her the terror Of would-be base stealers.
Billiard and pool playing are also on this
woman's list of accomplishments, and has
put to shame many boastful masculine
wielder Of the cue when it came to a ques-
ton of pocketing the ivory balls or making
difficult caroms or masse shots Miss Rus
sell also plays tennis and some years ago
kept her antagonists tolerably busy. OF
late years she has taken up golf
AS pedestrian she has considerable abil-
ity, thinking nothing of walking ten
twelve miles. She is rapid walker and
few, unaccustomed to long tramps, can
keep up with her This twentieth century
outing girl can also box cleverly, give and
take punishment climbs the mountain near
her home goes snow-shoeing for long
tramps and in fact does most everything
that can possibly appeal to an athletically
ambitious young woman. She was trained
and educated as a school teacher which
calling she has practiced successfully, her
control of would-be bad boys being most
complete.

AVOID COMPLICATIONS
MAKE PARTIAL CON.
CESsIoN TO GREAT BRITAIN.
Consent to Waive Right to Send Ships
Through the Dardanelles
During War.

LONDON, August 3-In order to avoid
complications which might have the effect
of extending the area of war Russia has
made a partial concession to Great Britain
In connection with the Dardanelles question.
Replying to the British representa- tons
regarding the closure of the Dardanelles to
vessels OF the volunteer fleet intended for
warlike uses as well war ships Count
BenckendOrff, the Russian ambassador to
Great Britain, 1t is learned, has advised
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne that his gov
eminent consents to waive the right to send
ships through the straits during the present
war, but at the same time Russia makes
no concession in relation to the general
principle involved and reserves to herself
the right to take such action as she deems
proper when the war with Japan termi-
mates. The British government would like
complete settlement of the principle but
Russia does not propose to negotiate on
this subject. If avoidable, while the war is
in progress.
Knight Commander Case.
Beyond preliminary communication
from Count Benckendorff to the effect that
Russia will make a response to the British
protest against the sinking of the British
steamer Knight Commander by the Vladi-
vostok squadron when the report of Ad-
miral lessen reaches St Petersburg, the
foreign office here has received nothing on
the subject. but fully expects a complete
answer this week. Informa ton received by
the authorities here inclines to the belief
that the Russians propose to uphold the
propriety of the procedure. and the case is
regarded as involving possibilities of a
serious dispute unless concessions are made
on both sides. 1t is pointed out as fortu-
nate In the interest OF continued harmonious
relations between the two governments that
parliament will probably adjourn August IL.
Will Seek Satisfactory Conclusion.
In the meantime Lord Lansdowne will
seek to bring the question to a satisfac-
tory conclusion in the hope of being able to
report a settlement to parliament before
the session closes His use of the word
outrage" in his speech in the house of
lords anent the steamer Knight Commander
aroused considerable feeling in Russian
diplomatic circles, where it Is insisted he
should have waited for the full facts These
facts, as will be shown in the report of Jes-
sen. 1t is contended by the Russians. will
establish that the knight Commander was
carrying contraband of war, the rails on
board of her being needed for the Korean
and Liao-Tung railroads to enable the
more prompt transportation of Japanese
troops. guns and supplies, and that under
his instructions Admiral lessen was justi-
fled In destroying her.

years. Both were neatly att1red, as We're

left leg which he lost by falling from the
prentice in the navy. For this injury he.
too received a pension. They were nice

which refers to himself:

The Stars informant said he lost trace of
Mrs. Levy after she gave up the little cigar
shop He says her name was Levy and not
Levi. as entered on the police records. He
knew nothing of her acquaintance with
HUH. but said she was respected by all her
neighbors when she lived on Az street, and
her husband and the boys were popular in
the neighborhoOd in which they resided.
Captain Boardman was called upon today
and told that HUH is not a married man,
as the police reported yesterday. People
living at 1855 Z street southeast denied to-

HUH ANXIOUS TO DIE
MAKES REPEATED EFFORTS TO
END HIS LIFE.
Alleged Murderer of Agnes Levy in
Hospital-The Inquest Neces-
sarily Deferred.

Henry HUH. the alleged murderer of
Mrs. Agnes Levy. is still under treatment
at the Emergency Hospital. He will be
held there a prisoner until tomorrow morn
inE. when he will be taken to the morgue,
TO be present at the inquest over the body
Of his victim. When he entered Locust
court yesterday morning a few minutes be-
fore he attempted suicide he was seen by
several residents of that locality. who rec
ognzed him. Before entering the court he
met an acquaintance and told him to tell
a friend that he's would be found in the
court in the of the friends stable.
Upon reaching the court he went to work
on his throat and wrists with the dull
knife. The sight of the blood gushing from
his throat frightened some of the colored
women who saw him They called "Po-
Nce! and "Murder!' and a crowd soon as
sembled. HUH fought desperately when
an effort was made to dsarm him and pre-
vent the accomplishment of his purpose.
The knife was finally taken from him and
thrown upon shed. HUH fell to the pave
ment from exhaustion and later tore the
surgeons bandages from his wrists.
The Emergency Hospital ambulance
reached the scene in a short time and HUH
was soon upon the operating table In the
hospital. Close watch was kept upon him
lest he would make another effort to undo
the work of the surgeons. Yesterday after
noon ana last nlSnt ne was violent ana
gave the surgeons and attendants consid
cradle trouble. While In Locust court he
beat his head against the sewer trap and
tried to repeat the performance after reach
ing the hospital. Then he tried to bite his
arm and tear off the bandage. 1t was found
necessary to render him powerless to ac-
complish anything and he spent a compare
lively restful night This morning his con-
dition was somewhat improved, but 1t will
probably be several days before the sur
geons will consent to his leaving the hos
