JApS SINK SHIP
IN HEAVY STORM

Toxic, Dec 16.-The successful tor
pedo attack on the Sevastopol was
made in the face of almost insurmount-
able obstacles, and writes another
story of the splendid bravery of
number of officers.
The entire crews of the torpedo
boat destroyers and torpedo boats vol
unteered for the attack, counting death
in their efforts to destroy the only
floating Russian battleship at Port Ar
thur.
| Facing a driving snowstorm and
heavy seas, the 1otillas separated
and, under individual commanders,
the vessels attacked independently.
The decks of the destroyers and tor
pedo boats were coated with ice and
the men suffered acutely from cold.
i The Russians resorted to the most
extreme precautions to protect the
Sevastopol They dropped torpedo
nets which shielded the bows of the
warship and the Sevastopol was fur
Their protected by a specially construct
ed wooden boom, the framework of
which was composed Of irOn-bOund
logs and cables and heavy chains in
terlaced and entangled. From the sur
face of this boom hung deep curtain,
made of torpedo nets taken from the
sunken battleships, the purpose of
which was to catch and destroy the
torpedoes and their mechanism.
The Japanese probably refrained
from attempting to cut or jump the
boom, plan demonstrated by the
British, but the torpedo boats and de-
stroyers evidently forced the open
ings, which the Russians had left so as
to allow communication with the har-

FiNANClER HEADS NATIONAL
CIVIC FEDERATION.
PEACE IN LABOR WORLD
Andrew Carnegie's Address Read at
Banquet Tells of Small Portion OF
the American Army of Toilers En-
gagged in Strife With Employers
Acquaintance Remedy.

New York, Dec. 16.-August Bel
mont was last night elected president
of the National Civic Federation to
succeed the late Senator Hanna. The
election took place at the dinner OF
the federation at the Park Avenue no
tel. . During the day committee
composed of Archbishop Ireland,
John Mitchell and Franklin MacVeagh
was appointed by the executive COM
mittee Of the federation, which is
holding it's annual meeting here, to Sc
lect a president and the choice fell
upon Mr. Belmont. The committee
reported its choice last night and Mr..
Belmont was elected. The dinner
was attended by 270 members of the
federation. Samuel Gompers acted
as POSTMASTER. He said that labor
had found out through the civic feder-
alton that employers are not the
modern monsters" which they used
tc picture in the past. He said he
welcomed the organization Of employ
ers.
Andrew Carnegie was unable to be
present and his address was read. 1t
was in part as follows:
I'VE should always remember with
satisfaction that peace reigns in six
seventies of the industrial world. We
hear nothing of war in the agricul-
tural branch, which of itself has more
thon 100000 of workers. In do
nestle service comprising 100000,
all is peace. These facts lead us to
the cause of much of the tension and
strife found in the manufa curing
and mechanical departments. 1t
rests just here. The former bring in
the personal equation and into the
latter nowadays that scarcely enters.
1t is these personal relations, the
knowledge of the virtues of the en-
ployer and employed revealed to each
other creating mutual regard, that
establish the reign of peace in agri-
cultural and domestic service
Archbishop Ireland followed with a.
brief address, in which he expressed
supreme faith in America and said
that eff any social question cannot be
solved in America I despair of its SO
luton anywhere" He said that
from his knowledge of the laborers
of America he had not much fear of
the menace of anarchy.
August Belmont was the next
speaker. He discussed the objects
of the civic federation, and discussing
the relation of employers and en-
pioyes urged good faith and honest
dealing as the basic principles upon
which trade agreements may rest to
be enduring" and said that trade
agreements must be equally binding
upon employers and employed. John
Mitchell spoke briefly on the labor
situation

John MeIlin, "Ceasar" Youngs Racing
Partner, Tells of the Efforts He
Made to Break Off the Relations of
the Murdered Man With Nan Pat
terson.

New York, Dec. 16.-At the con-
clusion of the examination of Mrs.
Young, widow of Caesar" Young,
who was called to the witness stand
twice yesterday, Assistant District At
torney Rand practically rested the
case of the prosecution against Nan
Patterson. Mr.. Rand announced that
he would call only two more wit
nesses, whose testimony would be
comparatively lnimportant.
When the trial was resumed yester-
day morning, Mrs. Young took the
stand and verified for the records her
testimony of Wednesday regarding
the intercepted letter written to
Young by Miss Pattersol's sister,
Julia Smith. Again in the afternoon
she was recalled and told of the ar
rangement for her proposed trip to
Europe with Young. She said that
after her husband had retired early in
the morning June A she searched his
pockets and was certain he had no re-
volver. She said also that he never
carried revolver.
John Mellin, Young's racing part
ner, told of the efforts Young had
made ito break off his relations with
Miss Patterson while in Los Angeles
in March last. He said he purchased
a ticket for her and gave her $500 OF
Young's money when it was decided
she should leave him.

BARNEY EATON ASKS RELEASE.
Wants Bribery Charges Dismissed Un-
der State Constitution.

Milwaukee, Dec. 16.-State Senator
Barney A. Eaton wants to be exempt
from prosecution on graft charges on
the ground that he is a member OF the
Wisconsin state legislature. There
are three indictments against him; il
one is quashed on this ground there is
no doubt that all three will be.
Attorney Lyman G. Wheeler fcJ Mr.
Eaton went before Juuge rarran, yes
terday and secured an order to show
cause why Eaton should not, under
Article 4, Section Is, OF the Wisconsin
constitution, claim his privilege as a
member of the legislature and be dis
charged. The order is returnable to-
day, for which time the trial for bril-
berry was set.
The interesting point OF the discus
sion, when it comes to answering the
order. will be on whether OF not br1-
berry is felony in Wisconsin, accord
ing to prominent attorneys OF the city.
The provision under which Senator
Eaton makes his application and p ca
for dismissal is as follows:
Members OF the legislature shall
in all cases, except treason, felony and
breach of peace, be privileged from ar
rest; nor shall they be subject to any
civil process during the session OF the
legislature nor for fifteen days next
before the commencement and after
the termination OF the session"

Mayor Harrison Deals Death Blow to
Chicago Fights.

Chicago Fights.
Chicago, Dec. 16.-The death blow
to boxing in Chicago was admins
tered yesterday by Mayor Harrison.
To each club that has been conducting
boxing contests of any kind and Chief
of Police O'Neil for enforcement, the
mayor sent copies of an opinion by
Corporation Counsel Tolman, which
will compel even the Chicago Athlet-
ic association to discontinue it's exhi-
billions. Not only does the corpora
ton counsel maintain that prizefight-
ing anywhere within the state is a
felony and that the witnesses are
guilty of misdemeanor, but he shows
that by law, where the citation of bat
tie and exaltation of victory are the
only inducements for the boxers to
perform before the public, such exhi-
billions are illegal, where the public
is invited to attend, either by paying
fee or entering free of price.

Woman to Tell the Whole Story-
Passes Busy Day Comforting With
Attorneys - Another Receiver
Asked.

Cleveland, Dec. 16.-Mrs. Chad,
wick's first day in jail was busy one
tor her. She received several visits
from her attorneys, held long confer,
ences with them, conversed with
newspaper men and for Is minutes
stood face to face with President
Beckwith of the Oberlin bank, who
has come to such great trouble through
his financial transactionse with her.
The meeting was dramatic. The
aged banker had been for hours before
the grand jury. He went to the
sheriffs office AMI asked it he might
see Mrs. Chadwick. The sheriff con-
scented and Mrs. Chadwick was eager
to meet him. Accompanied by Mrs.
Beckwith, who owing to her husband s
i'll health, is always by his side, the
aged banker made his way slowly and
feebly up the stairs leading to Mrs.
Chadwick's cell. She met him at the
entrance of the corridor and shooA
hands with him cordially. After
some general conversation Mr.. Beck
with referred to their business rela-
TONS by saying:

Mrs. Chadwick, you have ruined
me, but l am not so sure yet that you

heavily on the arm of his wife, who
was almost compelled to support him,
SC great was his physical weakness.
Mrs. Chadwick did not reply directly
| but her manner and the look on her
face were not conciliatory. Seeing
that she would not answer, Mr.. Beck
with went on:
Changed Lawyers Too often.
81 have always told you that l dio
not like it because you changed your
lawyers so often. Why don't you get

To what matter the questions re-

Beckwith then botn said that they
hoped the matters connected with the
Chadwick affair would be eventually
Strengthened out. After the interview
had closed, Mrs. Chadwick thanked
them for calling, shook hands with
them and said she would be pleased to
have them call again.
There is a possibility that the hear,
ing in the Chadwick case may be re-
sumed this morning in the bankruptcy
court and that she will be summoned
as witness, although the probabilities
are that the hearing will go over until
tomorrow and possibly until Monday

of all prices and colors, and lace
curtains of beautiful designs. A walk
through the three large warehouses
showed carload after carload of I'M
packed furniture. Such stock OF
furniture in Greenville can only be
comprehended by seeing, as words
can not half picture it TO the reader.
The advantages Of such stock has
enabled Mr. Ham to buy at prices
below his competitors and these pro-
fits he divides with his customers.
There is another feature noticeable
in this store, for in carrying so large
stock one would imagine much OF
it is out of date, shop worn, but a
greater mistake was never made, as
each year the business by its increase,
in and out of town, has kept virtually
the stock of each year sold off. An
other cause for this is that Mr.. Ham
has, for the last 5 years, been attend
ing the great furniture expositions
of the East, held every January and
July, and there, with his own eyes,
viewing the latest creations in fur
nture, he makes his selections for
spring and fall shipments. 1t is to
this kind OF enterprise that the large
out Of town order business has been
