Alarmist reports from foreign sources OF

Japanese attack upon that stronghold,
have created considerable popular anxiety
here over the fate of the fortress, which,
must be confessed, had almost been over

owing to the absorbing interest taken IN
the North sea complications.
The government promptly states that

must be growing daily more difficult
However, the public maintains the firm
belief the garrison will be able to hold
out. The statement that General Stoessel
is scorning all questions of surrender IS
declared here to be simply what might be
expected He is considered to be a man
who will fight as long as there Is

A J. Mclaughlin is an aggrieved
his wife. Carrie. They were married
in Pueblo, Colo, on>August 2, 1902, not
quite two years ago, and since then
she has been in the habit of applying
vile names to him. The climax of her
alleged cruelty, however, was not
reached until April of this year. In
that month she poured the contents of
a coffee pot, including the grounds, over
his head and threw a lemon cream pie
into his face.
1t is not set forth that he criticized
the pie because it was not one like
mother used to make" but it is averred
in particularly of detail that his face
and clothing were bespattered with
soft lemon custard." The pie was a
comparatively harmless weapon to the
one she is alleged to have used on June
g. when she is said to have struck
him on the cheek with a colander, caus-
ing the blood TO flow.

NEW CONTEST STARTED
IN DYSON WASS ESTATE
Cousin Alleges That Electrical Con-
tractor Used His Brothers Prop
erty as His Own.

Attorney de Cola has not given up
the battle against the estate of the
late Dyson D. Wass for a share for
the dead mans incompetent brother,
whose present whereabouts is un-
known. Recently the Superior Court
granted letters of administration to
Isabella NJ. Wass, who proved her
claim as the common law Wife,of the
rich electrical contractor. Attorney
de Cola yesterday, ON behalf of Lu-
cretia Anderson, d cousin of the Wass
brothers, filed petition for appoint
ment as guardian of the person and
estate of Frederick William Wass. in
whose behalf Mrs. Wass' contentious
were previously contested.
1t is contended that at the time
OF his death Dyson D. Wass was in
possession Of property belonging to his
brother. In June. 1888, Dyson was
appointed as Frederick's guardian and
represented at that time that the
brother was an incompetent and had
sold an estate at Astoria, Or. for one
fifth of its value.
In her petition the cousin declares
that Frederick Wass was next of kin
and entitled to all or part of Dyson's
estate, and furthermore Dyson had
used Frederick's property and mingled
it with his own in business. He had
never rendered an accounting Of his
guardianship.

the reckless behavior of the beautiful
woman for whom the universally re-

Fear that the woman might find
some means of escaping punishment,
as she has done so often before, caused

FIGHTS TO KEEP
VIFE'S LETTERS
Prisoner Chadwick Receives
Package in the Dock and
Refuses to Part With 1t
TT rs TAKEN BY FORCE
Found to Contain Missives
of No Importance and Is
Returned to Him in Jail

Ernest Moore Chadwick, alias Sir
Harry Westwood Cooper, offered stub
born resistance to two deputy sher-
ifs in the dock in Judge Lawlor s
courtroom yesterday morning. He
was unceremoniously thrown to the
floor and although he struggled fierce
ly, bundle Of letters which his wife
had slipped into his hands was taken
from him.
The prisoners had been brought
from the County Jail. to court and
were waiting in the dock till the
Judge made his appearance. Deputy
Welsh was sitting in front of the dock
with his back toward the prisoners
and did not observe the woman's ac-
ton. but it did not escape the notice
of Deputy Coyle, who was standing in
the rear Of the courtroom. He at once
went to the dock and asked CHADWICK
to give him the package his wife had
handed to him. Chadwick insolently
refused and the two deputies made a
movement toward him. He grappled
with them and was quickly thrown TO
the floor and the package taken from
his pocket by Deputy Welsh. Tie
other prisoners looked calmly on and
seemed to enjoy Chadwick's discoTn-
future.
After the Judge had taken his seat
on the bench and Chadwick's case,
charging him with sending by tele-
graph a false and forged message, was
called, Attorney Murphy asked for
continuance of a week. This was
granted. Murphy then asked that
Chadwick be allowed to go to a dem
tist for four or five days. Deputy
Coyle informed the Judge that Chief
Jailer Sullivan had telephoned to him
that Sheriff Curtiss had refused per-
mission for Chadwick to leave the Jail
for a dentists Office.
Thinking that Coyle was informing
the Judge of the matter of the pack
age, Murphy broached the subject and
it all came out. The Judge declined
to interfere with the Sheriff's order.
Murphy demanded that the letters be
read in open court, as he was satisfied
there was nothing wrong in them.
Deputy Welsh said he would not part
with them, but would hand them over
to the chief jailer. The Judge held
that the prisoner was in the custody of
the Sheriff and Welsh had a perfect
right to retain possession of the pack
age. He suggested that a dentist
might be sent to the Jail. but that was
for the Sheriff to decide.
After Chadwick was taken back to
the Jail the package was examined by
the chief jailer, who found nothing
unusual and handed it back to Chad
wick.
