No Confirmation In London.

London. April 13.-No confirmation
has been received in London OF the
report from Batavia. Java, of naval
battle OF the Anambas Islands. and as
there is no cable connection with
these islands it is difficult to see how
Batavia could have got such news be-
fore Singapore.
A dispatch to I.loyds from Singapore
practically confirms the Associated
Press first information regarding the
composition OF the Russian squadron
which passed there April S. Lloyd S
agent says it was composed of seven
battleships. two armOred cruisers. five
unarmored cruisers. three converted
cruisers. seven torpedo boat destroy
ers. II steamers and hospital ships
and a tug.
The Associated Press is able to
confirm absolutely the statement that
the Russian battleships passed Singa-
pore going eastward, April s, so that
all of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky S
squadron are accounted for.
This definite news about the battle
ships was sent to Singapore by wire
less telegraph from the China Sea. 1t
is presumed here that the battleships
passed further out to sea than the rest
of the squadron. hence the divergent
reports regarding the number OF ships.

MORE BEEF TRUST SECRETS
Secret Service Men Searching For An
other MYSTERIOUS Trunk.

other Mysterious Trunk.
Chicago. April 13.-Secret service
operatives are said to be making an
effort to find a mysterious trunk. al.
legged to be missing and wanted in
connection with the federal jury inves-
tigation of the packing industry. Six
other trunks of numbered series
have been seized but the federal Off
Gals fear that unless the seventh is
recovered valuable information may
be lost. The six trunks were taken
IRON safety deposit vaults in the First
National Bank building.
In connection with the search for
the missing receptacle. government Of
hcers are seeking officials Of the Aetna
Trading company. who. ii is said, may
be able to tell the grand jurors the
meaning of every item contained in
the books and papers found in the
trunks. The information sought is in
relation to alleged plans practiced to
raise the price of sausage castings.
When the officials OF the company
learned that an investigation was to
begin their Offices were closed.
Henry G. Godfrey. said to have been
secretary and treasurer, was traced
by secret service men from Chicago
to Toronto. Canada, where all trace OF
him was lost He is said to have been
travelling in possession of 20 trunks.

NAp SHOWING SCENE or OPERATIONS.

MAJ NHONA ~ ~ i--NA+ W. " ''''-
Batavia. Island OF Java to the Han
delshlad. a newspaper OF this city.
The dispatch adds that five Dutch
warships are near the scene OF bat
tie. Details are lacking.
[The above dispatch should be ac-
cepted with reserve until confirmed
from some port near the scene OF
probable fighting 1t is most unlikely
that Batavia would hear Of a battle
before Singapore. which place IS only
about 100 miles from the Anambas
Islands. Brunei, on the West Borneo
coast would also be likely to know
of fighting prior to Batavia. 1t seems
improbable that vessels reporting to
Batavia would steam direct there and
ignore the cable service accessible at
Brunei or Singapore. Moreover, they
would have insufficient time to do So
as the Russians at Anambas have been
heard from since Sunday last and II
would take AT least five days to reach
Batavia from Anambas.l

PRESIDENT IN FOOT RACE
Mr.. Roosevelt Holds His Own With
OId-Time Cowboys.


Frederick, Okla, April 13.-This is
ideal weather for President Roosevelt
and his party of huntersl in the big pas
ture. The party goes out at $50 o'clock
each morning and returns to camp
about IL o'clock for dinner. Fresh
horses are saddled by attendants, and a
fresh start is made at 100 o'clock in
the afternoon. One of the diversions
of the camp was a series of foot races
in which the president participated.
A raccoon was caught in Deep Red
Creek, and it is now in camp as a live
trophy of the chase.
In one of the runs a wolf was chased
over the hills and across creeks and
through timber for 10 miles. The pace
was fast and when the wolf was cap
tured there were only four of the party
within sight of the animal-BOb Bur-
nett Guy Waggoner and John Aber-
nathy, three old-time cowboys, and
President Roosevelt. About 10 dogS
are taken out at a time, and the re-
mainGer of the pack is kept at camp.
Yelps can be heard for miles.

Death Of charIes w. BLACK.

Charles W. Black, a venerable and high
ly respected citizen ofSouth Royalton, died
last Sunday morning at the home OF his
daughter, Mrs. j. o. Belknap, at the age OF
30 years. He had seen in feeble health
the past five years, the past three from a
brain disease and heart failure.
Mr.. Black was born in Augusta, Me-, IN
1915. and was son Of Zenas Black and
Beulah Snow. He married Miss Percis
Randall in 1871 and moved to East Bar
nard in 1854, residing there until the death

He left a son, Charles +. Black, daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. o. Belknap OF South Royalton,

Corning, Ill.
Mr.. Black was held In esteem and great
respect by friends and acquaintance and
all with whom he came in contact. lie
was endowed with love and respect for all
mankind and possessed one of the sweet
est dispositions, manifest in bis everyday
life. He entertained no creed, no class

and Golden Rule. He acknowledgement
immortality and intemperance, avoiding
himself all injurious habits. He was q
