LIFE PRESERVERS ALL OLD
NONE LESS THAN NINE TEARS ON
 THE SLOCUM.

More Startling Testimony Yesterday
 Miss Hall, the Bookkeeper, Admits
 She Erased the Name Grand Republic
 and Substituted That of the SIOcum- Thirty-seven Bodies Recovered Yes
 terday-TOtal VIII Reach Thousand.
 New York, June 22.-That the ill., fated steamer General Slocum had no life preservers aboard less than nine years old, was admitted by counsel of the Knickerbocker Steamboat company at the inquest to-day. Miss Hall, the bookkeeper of the company, had testi- fled concerning several bills for pre- servers, in which she had erased the name Grand Republic, the sister ship of the Slocum, and substituted that of the latter. Notwithstanding this, coun- sel for the company said they would make the admission as to the age of the belt, as they were unable to prove to the contrary. Evidence was also brought out that the United States in- spectors did not examine the fire hose and standpipes, and that the preservers were not in good shape.
 Rev. George Schultz of Erie, Penn, who was on the steamer, said he at tempted to put on life belt, but that the strap broke and he threw it away as useless. Benjamin F. Conklin, chief engineer of the Slocum said there had been no fire drills on the steamer this year and that the United States in spectors had not tested the fire hose. Conklin said the equipment of the Slo- cum favorably compared with that of any excursion boat in the harbor.
 | Although admitting that he had gem eral supervision over the Slocum, Cap tain John A. Pease, commander of the Grand Republic, denied responsibility for the fire fighting apparatus or life preservers of the burned vessel. He said that Captain Van Schaick should have examined them. He examined some of the preservers and found them stuffed with good cork and from per- sonal observation knew that the life boats were in working order. Captain Pease denied having told Miss Hall that $50 new preservers were nedded for the Slocum, although he said he might have misunderstood the question owing to deafness. The captain contra dicted yesterdays testimony of the as- sistant pilot of the Slocum, who said he purchased fire hose for the steamer for ten cents a foot. Captain Pease was of the opinion that it would be im- possible to buy hose at that figure.
 To-day thirty seven bodies came to the surface, making the total number 4 recovered S8S. Of these 778 have been identified. From present indications 1t is apparent that the death roll will to- 1 ta nearly thousand.

BATTLE IMMINENT ON
 LAO TUNG PENINSULA
GEN. oKU AND KURoKI MOVING
 TO FORM JUNCTION.

Russian Forces Hurrying South to Meet
 Them--Japanese Outposts Apparent
 iy Further Forward Than Russian
 Adyices Indicate-omciaI Report of
 the Work of the Torpedo FIotilla
 During VIadivostok squadron's Raid. St. Petersburg, June 22.-The imrnin- ence of a battle in the northern part |of the Liao Tung peninsula is admit ted by the war office and is indicated succinctly in to-day's dispatches from the Associated Press correspondents at Liao Yang, Kaiping and other points on the railroad.
 The week of skirmishing around Siu Yen retarded General Kurokis opera Itions, permitting General Stakelberg to reach Kaiping, the rear guard slow fly falling back on Senuchen before the Japanese advance.
 Meanwhile large forces are hurrying |south from Liao Yang to check both General Oku and General Kuroki. 1t is believed here that General Ku- ropatkin's object is to prevent junc- ture of the Japanese armies. On the other hand, the aim of the Japanese apparently Is to drive the Russians out of the Liao Tung peninsula prepara- tory to a march on Liao Yang. The ap- preach of the rainy season will more than likely precipitate matters. Nothing is known officially of the re- ported occupation of Haiung Yao Cheng (Hai Ung Yao Chon or Si Young Cheng?) by the Japanese. If the reports should be correct 1t shows sub- stantially the Japanese plan of advance as it is understood here, but 1t indi- lcates that the Japanese outposts are further forward than Russian advices | indicate.
 The general staff has received dis patch from Liao Yang, dated to-day. It does not mention any serious fight ling.
 | The Russian rear guard is now at Seuchen. General Kuroki's advance along the roads from Siu Yen, leading respectively to Hai-Chen. Ta Che-Chou and Kai- Chou, is being warmly con- tested by General Kuropatkin's out posts. The column heading for Kali Chou is the furthest advanced but is still thirty miles distant. A serious
 collision is regarded at the war office as unlikely for some days. General
 Kurokis movements betray a tendency Ito go south and join General Oku.
 Kurokis outposts are fortifying the pass between Saimatsza and Kwan
 Dian Sian.

COMMENT ON PLATFORM.
London Times Admires It for Its Adoit-
 ness and Strength.

London, June 23.-The Times, the only London morning paper which prints an editorial of the platform adopted by the republican national convention at Chicago. says that the platform bears the stamp of the individuality of Presi- dent Roosevelt and excites admiration for It's adroitness as well as for it's strength.
 "Adroit it unquestionably is," says the Times, but, save in the few points where the hand of the politician is vis- ibly impressed upon it, it seems to be bold and clear and consistent. What the judgment of the people will be it would be neither prudent nor, polite at present to forecast, but, be it what it may, it must determine great issues, not for the United States alone, but for civilized mankind"

BRIDGEPORT BLACK LIST CASE.
Hearing in Suit in Which All Business
 Men Are Interested.

Bridgeport, June 22.-The opening of the much discussed black list case brought by D. Sherwood Thorpe against the directors of the Bridgeport Business Mems association took place this morn- ing In the superior court, civil side here this morning before Judge Roraback. Business men all over the state have been. greatly interested in this case, which will doubtless prove test case on matter of considerable importance. The suit is brought by MT. Thorpe to recover $5,000 against the association for placing his name in what is known as the "black book" published by the Business Mems association in the diff erent cities of the state and which con tains.a list of persons who are indebted to a member or members of the asso- citation and whom the association claims will not pay up.
 Plaintiff claims that the bill of $40.09 of Silliman & Godfrey was unjust and for that reason it was not paid. He al leges that his character and credit were injured by placing his name on the black list.
 On the other hand the defendants claim that there is no such thing as a black list, and that the list mentioned is a list of delinquent debtors to the members of the association. They claim that the list is the private property of the association, and in no sense public, and that there is no conspiracy to black list in the spirit meant by the plaintiff. Testimony ill the case took part of the morning and nearly all the afternoon, until court adjourned at 4:30 until to- morrow afternoon.

Did Not Expect to Win Championship
 When He Went to England.
 New York, June 22.-Walter J. Tra- wis, who was passenger on the steam CT Oceanic, which arrived from Liver- pool and Queenstown to-day, declared tonight that he did not expect to win the golf championship when he went to England.
 My game was bad" he said, half a stroke less than normal. It seemed as if everything went wrong. Afterward I improved, and in the St. Georges Vase competition was playing fairly well.
 "The result was a surprise to the Englishmen, who estimated my game largely by the matches played when I was last ever. Then was there for my health. They play better golf on the other side than we do. They have at least twenty scratch players to our lone. They have played langer than we, and their courses are more narrow and more replete with hazards than ours. Our courses are too easy, and it is useless to hope for great players be- ing developed under these conditions

STUDENT POWELL HEAHDERoM.
Coming Back to New Haven to Claim
 His Bride.

George w Powell of Princess Ann. Md, the Yale academic junior who re- gently married Miss Edith Cunning, aged fifteen years. daughter of Will liam G. Cunning. manager of the Ho- tel Davenport. called up the Journal and Courier office at 8 o'clock this morning by telephone from Port Nor folk, Va. MT. Powell stated that he had just heard of the reports in the papers and they had done him a great injustice, which he felt they should right. They were particularly in error when they intimated that he had run away from New Haven and left his young wife. He declared his friends knew that he intended leaving the city, his sole purpose being to get work, so that he could take care of his wife without being dependent on any one. He said that he had obtained work at Port Norfolk, Va, with the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad and expected to be in New Haven next week, and perhaps before. to arrange his affairs and claim his wife, who, he declared, he intended to stick to through thick and think. He was very earnest on this point, and said if nec- essary he would seek his rights in the courts.
 When Manager Cumming was in- formed of MT. PowelPs communication, he was much surprised and said it was all news to him. Further than this he would say nothing. Mir. Cunning had previously stated. however, that he would ask for an annulment of the marriage on the ground that his daugh- ter was but fifteen years old and was married without her parents consent.
