Judge Baker Removed

Albuquerque, Dec. 1O.-Judge Baker, associate justice of the territorial Supreme Court of the second judicial district of New Mexico has been preemptorily removed from office by Attorney General Moody, acting under in structions from President ROOSe- welt. Many charges of various kinds had been preferred against
 Judge Baker.
 Removal Explained
 Washington, Dec. 1O.-The de- partment of justice makes the announcement that the removal of Judge Baker followed numer- ous charges that had been pre- ferred against him by residents of New Mexico. 1t is stated that he was not found guilty of any dishonorable or corrupt act but he had been too lenient and easy in the performance of his duties.
 The department wants a wig orous campaign throughout New Mexico and Arizona against sa- looms, gambling houses, houses of prostitution and similar re- sorts that are conducted con- ducted contrary to law. The department of justice intends to recommend that the United Sta tes officers throughout the two territories be commanded to en- force the laws against saloons, gambling and bawdy houses and by tbis to elevate the social and moral standing of the two terri tories that are about to be join- ed together in statehood

An Insect Pest

One of the most terrible of ln- sect pests appears to be the m mute black fly of the Mississippi Valley. says the writer ofzoolog- ical notes in Knowledge, com monlv known as the buffalo-gnat, from a fancied resemblance in outline to the buffalo, or bison. The buffalo-gnat chiefly attacks the larger kinds of live stock, al~ though it will occasionally bite, and even kill, human beings. In the year 1874 it is stated that in a single county in Tennessee these insects killed stock to the value of $5OO,OOO; while within sin gle week one parish in Louisiana lost 3,2OO head of live stock. Horses and mules, during such visitation, are killed while work ing, or before they can be got un- der cover when grazing; while in some of the cities in Mississippi the running of tramcars has been rendered impossible.

A HOT CAMPAIGN.
Afro-American Company Out for
 Business in New York.

New York, July 26. To combat race prejudice against negro tenants in white districts the Afro-American Realty Go has started an aggressive campaign Negro real estate opera tors and investors organized the com pany recently with capital stock of $500,000. They have subscribed $1O0,- GOO. In prospectus printed in choc- olate tints. with brown covers, embel- lished with a typical negro head, the remaining $4OO,O0O is offered to negro ,capitalists at $1O a share.
 The company owns four five-story flats, valued at $125, 900. and helds ten other int houses under ffve-year leases.
 It's prospectus says
 Income property in this city, when properly managed, will pay from 15 to 25 per cent on the equity; so, with $500,O00 in this manner invested, even if we never resold any of our hold ings at a profit-which, of course, from the nature of real estate in this city is bound to happen taken from a resting standpoint alone, would earn $T5,0O0 to $125,O00 per year,
 The Afro American Realty Go was formed after the struggle a year ago to oust negro tenants of uptown flats.

LOSSES WERE HEAVY

St Petersburg, July 26.-The Official Messenger this morning prints a dis patch from Liaa Yang, dated Julv o5. announcing that the Japanese main. talned a, terrific bombardment of Ta- tchekiao throughout the day. but that towards evening, several of their bat teries having been silenced by the Rus sian guns, they retired. No estimate of the losses on either side is fur nished but, judging from the nature and extent of the fire, the engagement was a serious one. The dispatch says.
 Throughout the night of July 24 the Japanese were busily engaged in en- placing batteries on the crests and slopes of the neighboring mountains. and at 4 o'clock in the morning opened a terrific artillery freton the Russian position at Tatchekiao from their front, which was nine miles long. The firing continued throughout the day, but slackened toward evening and stopped entirely at o'clock, the Jap anese retiring from the mountains. The Russian artillery answered tho Japanese fire hotly all day long.
 According to the reports of eye wit nesses the Russians silenced three of the Japanese batteries, after which the Japanese fire ceased.''
 The Official Messenger does not make any announcement regarding the status of the volunteer fleet cruisers, which 1t was generally expected it would do this morning.

 Didn't Get 1t.

St Louis, July 26. Footsore, travel stained and weary, Renaldo Walco, a British subject from San Jose, Costa Rica has reached the worlds fair af- ter walk of 5000 miles only. to find that he had been deluded by mythi- cal prize of $1,5OO which he had heard had been offered by the exposi- tion company to the person. who walk ed the longest distance to attend the worlds fair.
 Almost at the same moment that Walco arrived another long distance pedestrian, arrived at the worlds fair grounds in the person of Mauritius Hechter of Bucharest, Roumania. who had also attempted long distance walk and who had met with defeat. Hechter started to walk to St Louis from Bu- charest. He undertook to reach here by July '. He arrived many days late and then only after giving up his journey afoot in Washington and talk ing a train. The prize he was after was one of forty thousand francs, of fered by the Roumanian Touring club, of which Crown Prince Ferdinand is president
 Walco had much the longer journey

BOYS NARROW ESCAPE
Jumped From Running Beard of
 Trolley on South Main Street

Richard Collins, a ten-year-old son of Michael Collins of 127 River street, met with a serious accident near City Corners this morning. He stepped on the running board Of trolley car and, evidently thinking that the conductor was after him, the boy Jumped off while the car was moving rapidly and was thrown to the ground with con siderable force striking on his head and receiving two or three ugly scalp wounds. The car was stopped and the youngster taken on board and car. ried to the office of Dr Dwyer, where the physician put fifteen stitches in the cuts. The little fellow was delir- ious at times and gave several places of residence before he mentioned the right one, still he was gritty and went through the ordeal like real soldier. He was removed to his home in car riage. Dr Dwyer said this afternoon that while the boy was badly hurt,
 still he did not look for any serious results unless something unexpected should set in. His father works i'll the wire mill lat Benedict & Burnham's. The family removed from Avon aye
 nue, Ben Mohr, couple of. weeks ago.
 The boys mother is dead and the father and three children keep house.

POLITICS IN THIS. TOO.
Prosecutions Not to Follow Failurs to
 Forfeit Bonds, Iris Sasd.

Not one of the saloon keepers who have been notified that their bonds of $500 have been forfeited for violations of the liquor law, has as yet paid q visit to the office of Liquor Prosecut- ing Agent Pierce to settle up. al- though the time for so doing. accord Ing to the notices sent out. expires tomorrow night. And none apparents ly intend to do so. Several of the sa- loon keepers have engaged Attorney William Kennedy to fight the cases to the last ditch, provided suit ia brought against the bondsmen.
 But if current reports are frua there will be no suits. It is rumored that Attorney Pierce has decided not to prosecute any of the cases. that is not to bring suits against the bonds men. It is alleged that he has been asked to desist from his original plans and not do anything so rash whan there are important elections near ht: hand, as the republicans will need all the votes that they can muster this year, and they do not wish the liu4ior dealers and their friends to be alien ated from the party as they certainlv would be if Attorney Pierce should persist in bringing so many suits. Whether the reports are true or false the liquor dealers are feeling more happy and more confident to-day and do not appear to be worrying about the next move upon the part of Afr Pierce.

CALCHAs IS. IN DANGER.

Tacoma, Wash, July 26.The steam ship Calchas, flying the British flag, is believed to be within the zone of danger, and Tacoma shippers are eagerly awaiting the news of her ar rival The Calchas, belonging to the Alfred Holt fleet of Liverpool sailed from Tacoma July and is due at Yokohama Wednesday or Thursday. AS the Vladivostok fleet is reported to be on the Japanese coast, it is thought possible that the Calchas may be taken as a prize. The Calchas carried cons siderable quantity of flour assigned to Japanese firms. She has also much other general freight of the same na- ture as is usually shipped from this port.
 The steamship Shawmut, flying the American flag and belonging to the Boston Steamship Go, left Tacoma about a week later than the Calchas, and being slower craft, is not expect ed to reach Yokohama for ten days or. more.

 Rescued by a Tug.

The passengers were transferred to the Morse without con fusion. No one was injured i'll connec- ton with the accident.
 The Gangway ledge is about twenty five minutes run by water from Rock land. The steamer pushed well up on the ledge and stopped in a compara lively easy position. The extent of her damage and the chances for saving fer have not yet been determined.
 The accident happened at ebb tide, which gave some confidence that the steamer might be foated on the next rise. Captain Mark Pierce was in the pilot house when the steamer went ashore. He at once gave orders to in- sure the safety of the passengers The whistle was sounded repeatedly and q boat was lowered and sent ashore around the ledge to a point where q telephone call for help could be- sent. Word was brought back that the J. F. Nurse would be started down the bay at once.
 Most of the passengers were in their beftIs when the steamer ran on the ledge. The shock was sufficient to arouse everybody and there was gen. eral but not confused rush to the main deck to learn the nature and ex- tent of the accident. Captain Pierce assured the people that there was lit tie danger and the passengers pre- pared quietly for the arrival of the boat which had been summoned. Shortly afterwards the Morse ap- preached with her whistle screeching to give notice that assistance was on the way.
 The work of the transfer of the pas sengers was quickly accomplished without mishap and early in the fore noon they were landed in this city. whence they proceeded to their various destinations.
 The City of Rockland carried a heavy load of freight. She was built in East Boston in 1901. She is valued at about $3O0,OO0. Her length is 274.3 feet, beam 38.5 feet and depth 14.4 feet Her net tonnage is 1925 and her gross 1,696. S,

ONLY ONE MILL.
Was Able to Start Operations at Fall
 River To-Day.

Fall River, Mass, July 26.-At- tempts to start made by several cot ton mills which were tied up by yes terday's strike here failed this morn ing in all cases save that of HaI- graves No ? which was able to open one or two departments. The open ing of the second day found the tsitu- ation practically the same as ycster- day although the mill opened to-day was closed yesterday. Efforts made to resume work at the mills which started yesterday failed and the strikers consider themselves just as strong as at the beginning.
 With the opening of the Hargraves No an effort was made to secure enough operatives to run the Har- graves No mill, but it was found impossible and the mill was shut down. The Seaconnet and Bourne mills also opened their doors this morning but no employees entered the gates and after waiting for about an hour the management ordered the gates closed. The Narragansett mill which was operated in part yesterday but was forced to shut down during the afternoon on account of lack of sufficient number of Workmen did not open to-day.
 One demonstration of violence cniy, was reported to the police as having occurred during the night That was the stoning of the Arkwright and Davis mills. Several windows were broken. but no other damage was done.
 The members of the state board of arbitration having left town last night without Interviewing the labor secre- taries, there seemed to-day to be no immediate prospect of any proposal to settle the difficulties.
 The strikers claimed that hardly more than ascore of operatives went in at tn ; Hargrayes No 2 mill. A four of the entire mill territory of this city this morning showed that ev. cry mil! where reduction notices were posted, with the exception of Har- graves No was shut down.
 One boy was arrested this morning charged with breaking windows at the King Philip mills yesterday.
 Narcisse Martin, the lad arrested, had been employed in the spinning room sat the Ancona mill. He was arraigned in the police court this morning and fined $15. The judge said in imposing the penalty that under ordinary circumstances the lad would have been placed on probation but that prevailing conditions made the offense an aggravated one and that future cases of the kind would be dealt with severely.

cABINET TALKs IT oyER.

London, July 26. The sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander by Russian cruisers off Japan was fully discussed at a meeting of the cabinet to-day, held at the foreign office.
 Before the meeting Count Bencken- dorff the Russian ambassador, was closeted with Foreign Secretary Lans- downe and discussed in detail the op- eratfons of the Russian cruisers in connection with neutral shipping, but as the Russian embassy had not been officially informed by the Russian gov ernment of the destruction of the Knight Commander, the ambassador was unable to make any statement to the foreign secretary. The Knight Commander incident is one which is attracting close official and public in. teFest.
