TWO BOATS EQUAL
TO RUSSIAN LOSSES?

st. Petersburg, May II, 2:25 a. m.-
Owing to the interruption of commu-
nication with Port Arthur the Ad-
miralty has no information of its own,
either regarding the blowing up of the
Japanese cruiser Miyako on May Is or
the torpedoing and Gripping of an
armored Japanese cruiser in fallen
Wan Bay, May TO- by a naphtha
launch in command of a young Rus
sian naval officer.
The Admiralty officers read with in
terest the Associated Press account of
the former and pointed out that by no
chance could the two happenings be
identical, since the Miyako struck in
daylight and the other event is re-
ported as happening al night. The
Admiralty, while awaiting news of
either incident, points out the feast
bility of the launch exploit, since the
equipment for sending torpedoes from
small boats, an invention of the late
Vice Admiral Makaroff, was utilized in
the Russo-Turkish War Whether one
or two Japanese ships have been Grip
pied, satisfaction is expressed at the
Admiralty that there has been some
equivalent for the disasters to the
Port Arthur fleet.
The Orel arrived to-day at Cronstadt,
making the third battleship of the
squadron destined for the Far East
which has arrived there to receive an
equipment of guns. The battleship
Alexander III has already been COM
missioned and the battleship Borodino
is receiving her main battery. The
Souvaroff is the only battleship under
construction to be assigned to the Far
East and she was promised for deliv-
cry last month. Batteries are being
installed on the protected cruisers
Jemtchug and Izumrud.
Despite this progress Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky said to the Associated
Press that there would be no hurry for
the voyage to the Far East and that
he does not expect now to arrive in
the Pacific before September next at
the earliest

HAD RIGHT TO TURN BACK
IMMIGRANT ANARCHIST.
Supreme Court Sustains the New
York Authorities.

York Authorities.
Washington, May 16.-In an opinion
to-day by Chief Justice Fuller the
United States Supreme Court sustained
the action of the immigration author
tiles at the port of New York in or
derng the deportation of the English
man Turner, alleged to be an anarch-
list. The opinion upheld the law for
the exclusion of anarchists, ind affirm
ed the decision OF the Circuit Court
for the Southern district of New York,
which refused a writ of habeas corpus
TO Turner.
The immigration law was attacked
as unconstitutional, on the ground that
ii is in contravention of the First,
Fifth and Sixth amendments and also
of Section l of the constitution. All
these contentious were negatived BY
the decision of the chief justice, who
said, among other things:
Whether rested on the accepted
principle of international law that
every sovereign nation has the power,
as inherent in sovereignty and essen
tial to self-preservation, to forbid the
entrance of foreigners within its do
mnions, or to admit them only in such
cases and upon such conditions as II
may see fit to prescribe: or on the
power to regulate commerce with foe
eign nations. which includes the en-
| trance. of ships. the importation ol
goods and the bringing of persons into
the ports of the United States. The act
before us is not open to constitutional
objection"
The chief justice said the law dill
not abridge freedom of speech. or oi
the press, and that Turner. not being a
citizen of the United States, could not
assert the rights Of one.
Discussing the plea that the law
should not be applicable to Turner be-
cause he was not IAN active anarchist,
Chief Justice Fuller said: Even II
Turner, even though he did not so
state to the immigration board of in
quiry, only regarded the absence of
government as a political ideal, yet
when he sought to attain it by advocat-
ing, not simply for the benefit of work.

Reports ON Work.
The report on Bible and field work
shows a healthy increase in receipts,
and the committee recommends that
Bible days be held by the Sunday
schools during June of each year.
A general discussion of reports fol-
lowed. DR.. DeFord of st. Louis pro-
tested against teaching children that
there is such an entity as Santa Claus.
He said it was myth and an abomi-
nation that should be abolished, as it
would encourage and train children to
be deceitful.
The old question of helping the ne
gro was next taken up. DR.. Frost said
he was surprised that the issue should
have been raised, in view of the ex-
listing conditions. DR.. Frost said the
publishing board had voluntarily ex-
tended aid to the negro Baptist Pub
fishing House and had not solicited
or received any remuneration.

From the Kansas City Journal.
A Nodaway county man, DR.. O. G.
Kessler, has been indicted for murder
in the first degree under peculiar cir
cumstances. Kessler is a physician.
According to his accusers he has kept
among the other drugs in his Office
a flask of whisky which his acquaint-
ances have been accustomed to drink
out of in his absence. Kessler, 1t Is
said, suspected some person of taking
whisky from his bottle that they did
not pay for and remarked that if they
didn't quit it one of them would some
day get a drink that would be his last.
On Feb. "a william Simmons took
drink from the bottle when Kessler
was not in. and within a half hour he
was dead 1t is charged that Kessler
had put deadly poison into the whis-
ky The case is probably without a
precedent in the criminal history OF

i NEGRO IN PHI BETA KAPPA.

Al NEGRO IN PHI BETA KAPPA
It is OF great interest to college men
everywhere to learn. as stated in a dis
patch in Thursdays Sun from New
Haven, that Yale has admitted a ne
gro, one William Plckens, to the Phi
Beta Kappa society. This fraternity
originated about l7T6 at Williams and
Mary college, where a negro would not
have been admitted to membership.
But 1t went NORTH" as some other
southern college fraternities have done,
with the result that the northern view
OF the race question now dominates the
chapter at Yale and probably the chap
tiers at other northern institutions. It
may be explained that the original Phi
Beta Kappa became extinct. The pres
ent body of that name is an honorary
Hist which assumed its title and to
which are added yearly the names Of
those who graduate with the highest
marks at each college having chap
ter" All the more important colleges
and universities, north and south, have
these Chapters" and membership in
them has been hitherto regarded as q
Idistinction. The idea Of assuming the
name OF the williams and Mary frater-
Unity for an honorary society originated,
lit Is believed, In the north. and char
tiers are granted from the center Of au-
thority there. 1t remains to be seen
whether the southern chapters of Phi
Beta Kappa will welcome Brother
Pickens" as frater.
The different views held north and
south in respect to the social rights and
eligibility OF the negro affect materially
the question of going north" which
now agitates certain large southern
college fraternities The admission OF
IPickens to Yale Phi Beta Kappa seems
to prove that 1t is impossible to expect
to exclude negroes from northern chap
tiers Of southern fraternities, inasmuch
as local sentiment controls and the feel
ings Of southern chapters are not un-
derstood or respected. The Yale tnci-
dent has, therefore, practical bearing.
| It may be that the southern chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa will not take action in
regard to 1t, since this fraternity Inn
poses no duty of social intimacy upon
Its members, and they could cut Bro
| Their Pickens without mourning a penal
ity:, but it would be different with the
college Greek letter society proper,
which does require all members, north
and south, to meet on the same social
plane. There are several southern
Greek letter fraternlties which act upon
the policy of combining their chapters to
southern states, with view Of insur'
ling congeniality among their members
Among these may be mentioned the
lsoutherh Kappa Alpha, which has
chapters in every southern state and
boasts some six thousand members. but
lresists the desire Of few members te
Icross Mason and Dixon's line or "gc
vests into Kansas. Pi Kappa Alpha
is another powerful southern fraternity
(which has the same policy. To these
1.-TWO bodies of Greeks the Yale Incl
dent will appear very suggestive, indi
eating the probable result of a too evi
dent desire to become NATIONAL
