NEWPORT SWELL
is A FUGITIVE
Warrant Out for Arrest
of MultimilliOnaire Nor
mans Private Secretary
ACCOUNTS NOT CORRECT
Edwin L. Pike Leaves Be-
hind Him Several I'm
paid Personal Obligations
Special Dispatch to The call

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. 22.-Sergeant
Allen C. Griffith. armed with a war
rant for the arrest of Edwin L. Pike,
private secretary of George H. Norman,
multi-millionaire, left NewpOrts early
to-day for Boston to apprehend the
secretary. but up to a late hour to-
night he had not been able to locate
him.
Pike kept sumptuous apartments on
Bellevue avenue. He dressed well-in
fact. was a Beau Brummel, and was
envied by the young men of his set. He
kept a valet and maintained two estab-
lishments.
Pixies disappearance, with the fact
that he was secretary to George II.
Norman, has given Newport it's biggest
sensation in years.
Yesterday Norman returned from
New York and was unable to find his
secretary, who had been left in charge
of his personal business affairs. Upon
examination of his accounts, which
were not found in a satisfactory con-
dition, Norman Immediately obtained a
writ of attachment to be served upon
the secretary's account in the National
Exchange Bank, but no balance was
found. An attachment was placed on
Pixies personal property and at his
boarding house a keeper was placed in
charge.
Norman had been accustomed to turn
over to his secretary considerable sums
of money, with which to meet personal
obligations. These sums were deposited
by the secretary to his own account
and drawn on by the secretary's
checks. Norman went away a week
ago and left $1,000 with his secretary.
1t is reported that there are several
personal accounts of Pike which are
left unpaid.

Holley was a salesman for the Inger-

and it was just fourteen years ago that
a letter reached his mother announcing
that he had completed a SIS, 900 contract
in one of the important cities OF Co
lombia, and was about to start for
home. That was the last heard from
him from that day until to-day. Moth
ing concerning him had been learned.

and eventually the supposition that he
had met death in some remote place
was accepted
When he went to South America Hol-
ley had wife and two sons in a cozy
home IN Homowac. Ulster County. N.
Y. The wife. still mourning him. died
several years ago and both sons were
killed in accidents. Holley does not
know this and makes an anxious IN
quiry in his letter. He says that when
he arrived in Colombia one OF the then
frequent revolutions was in progress.
but he took no particular interest in il
and proceeded to transact his business.
He had done so and was on the eve OF
leaving town when. without a word OF
warning, he was arrested as a political
prisoner and without an explanation
Of the nature Of his offense thrown into
a dungeon.
In the vicissitudes Of Colombian poll
tics and the many changes In the Gov

as all communication with the outside
world was denied him he could not
even learn which Of the contending
parties had caused his arrest and long

CAR ANCERED
BY A PETITION

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.-Em-
peror Nicholas formally notified the
country to-day that agitation for a
constitution and the convocation of a
National Assembly is useless. Such is
the construction placed upon the in
dorsement written in his own hand on
the resolutions telegraphed by the
Chernigov Zemstvo on December 20,
begging him in the most loyal manner
TO convocate legally elected members
OF the Zemstvos to present pro-
gramme OF reform for his considera-
ton. The Emperor wrote on the dis
patch:
I consider the action of the President to be
presupptuous and tactEess. Questions Of state
administration are of no concern to the
clearly defined by the law.
The Endorsement was printed in the
Official Messenger this morning, DASH
Ing the hopes of the extremists. IT
does not come as great surprise.
The Emperor, from the beginning. al
though he has shown himself favor
ably disposed toward a more liberal
regime and in entire sympathy with
some of the Zemstvo demands, had re-
solved not to yield the principle of
autocracy. Upon this point, it is un-
derstood, all his advisers, including
Interior Minister Syiatopolk- Mirsky
agreed, but the character of the asi-
tation followed the meeting of the
presidents of the Zemstvos. and the
action of various provincial Zemstvos
and municipal councils, coupled with
the recent demonstrations at st. Pc
tersburg, MOSCOW and elsewhere, prob
ably served to strengthen the hands
of the reactionaries and convinced the
Emperor of the imperative necesaty
for plain-spoken announcement of
the sovereign's position upon the main
point.
What the immediate effect of the
imperial rebuke administered to the
Chernigov Zemstvo will be is prob
lematical. 1t may only serve to fan
the flames and be used by the revoIu-
tionary organizations to increase the
agitation, and in turn compel its rep
resentation.

MORTON TALKS
FOR RAILROADS
sgeclal pispateh to rhe caIl.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-In his strug-
gle with the interstate commerce
problem, his desire being to see the
commission granted the power to regu-
late rates. President Roosevelt has
called Secretary Morton into confer
ence a great deal lately, appreciating his
knowledge and experience as railroad
man. 1t now develops, according, to a
New York statesman who is close to
both the President and the Secretary.
and who talked to both on the subject
to-day, that Secretary Morton has a
very strong leaning toward the rail-
road interests in this business and has
upheld them to such an extent that he
and the President show signs of drift
ing apart.
1t is said that Morton has urged upon
the President the right of the railroads
to pool in their service to terminal
points where they are now competitors.
This point is one which the railroads
have long been claiming. and Secretary
Morton is reported to have said that if
1t be now granted all opposition on
their part to the proposed extension Of
the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission would be with
drawn.
The President, however, declines to
make this concession, according to the
authority referred to, and the discus
sion has continued until there is some

cruisers, the Nippon Maru and the
Hongkong Maru, entered Singapore
Strait this morning and anchored in
the roadstead. seven miles from Singa-
pore City, at noon. These cruisers are
sea scouts of the Japanese battle fleet,
which is composed of two f1rst-class
battleships. two first-class armored
cruisers, two second-class cruisers and
fiotilla of twelve torpedo craft. These
vessels are now on their way to a GER
tain place, where they intend to give
battle to part of the Baltic fleet.
According to the Japanese captain,
the naval situation at Port Arthur be-
ing now settled and the Russian fleet
entirely disabled, Admiral Togo has
turned his attention to the outcoming
feet. He declined to give any further
information, but admitted that he

Consul.
1t is believed here that the Japanese
have a secret base among the islands
and will attempt to seize colliers and
boats carrying contraband to the Rus
sian fleet in these waters. The Japan
csc cruisers left at 1880 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.-The an
nouncement that four Japanese cruis-
ers and twelve torpedo boats are pro-
ceeding west from Singapore is re-
ceived here with much interest. 1t is
not believed, however. that such a
small squadron can have been sent out
by Japan with an idea of engaging in
offensive operations. but it is regarded
as more probable that it is the pur-
pose of this squadron to keep a sur
yeillance over the two detachments of
the Russian fleet which are expected
TO soon unite in the neighborhood Of
Madagascar. 1t is generally believed
that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky in
tends to establish a naval coaling base
on some small island between Mada-
gascar and the Philippines and that
the Japanese cruising squadron is to
mark the rendezvous for Vice Admiral
Togo's information. The belief is ex-
pressed that Admiral Rojestvensky will
be able to catch up with the Japanese
scouts, who, IT is believed, he could
easily destroy, thereby weakening the
japanese IN the final naval engage
ment.

WRONG IDEA.

Don't get the wrong idea into your
head that starvation is good for dys-
pepsia.
It's not
Those who have not studied the sub
ject very deeply. or with trained scien-
tific minds, might think so.
But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists in stomach and diges-
tive disorders know that IL is best for
dyspepsia to be well fed
Why. dyspepsia is really a starvation
disease!
Your food doesn't feed you.
BY starvation. you may give your
bowels and kidneys less TO do. but that
does not cure your digestive trouble
simply makes you weaker and sicker:
less likely to be permanently cured
than ever.
No. the only right way to permanent
ly cure yourself of any form Of dyspep-
sia or indigestive trouble, is to eat
heartily of all the food that you find
best agrees with you. and help your
digestion to work with Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
This is a safe. certain. scientific. re-
liable method of treatment. which will
never fail to cure the most obstinate
cases If Dersevered in.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have a
gentle. tonic, refreshing effect on the
secretory glands of the entire digestive
tract.
They gently force the flow of fresh
digestive juices.
They contain. themselves. many Of
the chemical constituents of these
juices, thus when dissolved they help
to dissolve the food around them in
stomach or bowels.
They therefore quickly relieve all the
symptoms OF indigestion, and coax the
glands to take a proper pleasure in do
ing their proper work.
They coax you back to health.
