"CRAP" GAMES OF STUDENTS
BRING DOWN TEACHERS IRE
Parents of RooterS Confer Over
Gambling Alleged to Have
Taken Place.
PRINCIPAL is AROUSED

Gambling, even Of the penny
variety. will no longer be tolerated among
Shortridge High School students by the
faculty of that institution, and several
boys who accompanied the baseball team
to Franklin last Saturday are now in dan
ger of suspension because they have
brought down upon their heads the dis
pleasure of the faculty on that account.
Under a recent rule OF the faculty every
member of an athletic team that leaves the
city must sign a pledge that he will not
gamble while on the trip. This, however.
can have no bearing on those who accom-
pany the teams as ''rooters' and such pu-
pills of the school have caused the present
trouble.
Parents of number of boys who went to
Franklin last Saturday received letters yes
terday from Principal Benton, asking them
to see him in regard to the gambling in
which their sons are alleged TO have taken
part. Professor Mills accompanied the
team and reported to the principal that
several of the students had killed time with
a game of craps" While the amounts
that changed hands were small, Professor
Benton says that he is opposed to the spirit
of the act. and proposes to stop gambling
of any description if he has to suspend
every boy in the school.

ANOTHER SHIP SUNK;
BATTLESHIP DAMAGED

ST PETERSBURG, April H.-It was Of
ficially announced to-day that the torpedo
boat destroyer Bezstrashni was cut of
from the rest of the Russian feet at Port
Arthur and sunk by the japanese. that
her crew was lost and that the battleship
Pobieda accidentally struck a mine while
maneuvering, but was able to return to the
harbor without loss of life. Forty-five of
ficers and men perished board the tor
pedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni.
Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky wires
from Port Arthur to-day that tho
Bezstrashni. one of the Russian
torpedo boat destroyers sent out
during the night to reconnoiter. be-
came separated from the rest of the fleet
owing to the bad weather prevailing, was
surrounded by Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers and was sunk in the fight Five
men were saved. Admiral Ouktomsky adds:
Il have taken command Professionally OF the
fleet since the dsaster.to the Petropavlovsk.
During some maneuvering of the battle
ship squadron the Pobieda struck against Q
mine amidships the starboard side She
was able 10 regain port by herself. No
one on board of her was killed or wounded"
The official bulletins conveying the in-
telligence of the loss OF another torpedo
boat destroyer and the accidental crippling
OF another battleship was almost as severe
a blow the loss of the Petropavlovsk
yesterday and plunged the whole town
anew into grief. The Russian word in the
text of the official dispatch describing the
accident TO the Pobieda means either
mine" or torpedo" but the qualifying
verb indicates something moving toward
the ship. This dispatch puts an end to
the idea prevailing here that there has been
an engagement following the disaster to
the Petropavlovsk. IL Is cOnsiderel remark
able here that the japanese dit sot take
advantage of ihe terrible accidents TO at
tack Port Arthur.
The Pobieda is a baitleship of 1864 tons
displacement, and OF 1880 horse power
She is 4OiL feet long has seventy-one and
one-half feet beam and draws twenty-six
feet OF water and is heavily armored with
steel. She completed in 1901. has
complement of 732 men and her estimated
speed Is eighteen knots. The steel armor
OF the battleship varies in thickness from
four TO nine and one-half inches along her
belt The armament OF the Pobieda con-
ssts of four 10-inch guns. eleven 6-inch
guns, sixteen 3-inch guns. ten ls-inch guns
and seventeen li-inch guns. She has six
TORPEDO tubes.
