GREAT BATTLE BEFORE PEACE.
Russia Does Not Expect Japan to Agree
to an Armistice.


ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.-The only
hope for an armistice pending the meet
ing Of the peace plenipotentiaries seems
TO rest with President Roosevelt, and
even that is considered slender. So far
as known, the President has not taken
a positive step in this direction. The i'm
preston here continues strong that Japan
only with great reluctance could be in
duced to forego the advantages of her
strategic position, which, despite the tone
of official advices from the front, is re-
garded as being altogether favorable for
Field Marshal Oyama. and agree to a
suspension of hostilities for at least six
weeks, during which time thousands Of
reinforcements would reach General
Linevitch, and Vladivostok would be
strengthened with munitions and supplies
to Withstand a siege. Indeed, 1t is sug-
gested that Japan deliberately planned to
postpone the meeting long enough to give
Oyarna a chance TO administer to the
Russians fresh defeat on land, In order
to rob the war party in Russia of It's last
card and facilitate acquiescence in her
terms. Considering the situation, there
fore, President Roosevelt's triumph will
be all the greater If he could now sue
ceed in crownipg his work with an agree
merit which would at least prevent an
other bloody battle pending the show or
fa fids in Washington.

Protest Against Meager
Pay for His Share in the
Amalgamated Deal Is
Needed by Rockefeller
MORE REVELATIONS
IN FRENZIED FINANCE
Bogus Stock Subscriptions
Totaling Nearly Four
Hundred Millions Made
by Members of System
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. June 20-The indiffer-
ence with which the Standard Oil of
ficials regard millions is brought out
in this months installment of Thomas
W. Lawson's story of "Frenzied
Finance Therein is set forth the
manner in which Lawson was offered
s2,500,000 as his share in the big
Amalgamated deal, his emphatic pro-
test and the immediate concession of
another s2,500,0GO without further par
ley.
Lawson shows how he secured the
actual list OF subscriptions, amounting
to about $12O,OO0,OOO, on the same day
that the officers Of the company pub
lfshed to the world the announcement
that S412,O00.0OO had been subscribed.
The difference between $12O,OOO,O and
$4l2,OOO,OOO was the amount of the
bogus subscription of the officers of
''the system.
Out of all this jugglery, Lawson was
to have drawn down s9,OOO,000 he states,
with an interest in the second section
to be organized and floated later. He
was offered 81, 100000 and succeeded in get
ting practically $5.OOO,000. All this, he
says was later sunk in his effort to hold
the market.
Lawson, in describing the incident that
marked his settlement with H. Fl. Rog-
ers. says he asked for his share If the
profits Of the deal. Rogers had passed
to him a slip of paper on which were
scribbled several items and the total,
$3.50, 100. Lawson adds:
In an instant nothing in the world
mattered; all the dams burst asunder; /
sprang to my feet. kicked over the chair
and, with an exclamation which was half
yelled, half imprecation, / stuck the
paper under Mr.. Rogers eyes On the
balance line l beat a tattoo with my
trembling forefinger. Then / caught my
voice. Heaven knows what l said, for
all barriers Were down, and a flood tide
of rage, overwhelming. terrific, swept my
being.
There was no chance for Mr. Rogers
to answer or to interrupt me. Sud-
denly l became conscious that I was
saying Am 1 to understand that this
is final? Is this what Il get for my
cursed work?' My voice, as I heard it,
was strange hoarse hiss-and the
words fell on my ear like a death SEN
tence. No, by-No.' I sprang between
him and the door
Lawson, in the name of God! Stop
for second, there is some mistake. /
see there is some mistake some terrible
blunder that they have made upstairs.
Don't utter another word Give me
that paper and I'll take it to Mr.. Rookie
feller.'
Il handed Rogers the paper without
word. He was out of the room in
stanter."
This occurred in 26 Broadway, the
headquarters of the STANDARD OIL"
Rogers went upstairs, and, returning in
few minutes, handed to Lawson the
same slip of paper. No change had
been made except in the total, which
read just fraction under $4,000, 600.

RUSSIANS MUTINoUs.
Japanese Prize Crew Has Hard Time
on Captured Vessel.


VICTORIA. B. c, June 2O.-The steam
ship Empress of China to-day brought
an account of the exciting experience Of
the Japanese prize crew on board the
captured Russian battleship Orel in
bringing the prize from the scene of bat
tie te the Maizuru naval station.
The officers and men of the Azshi and
kasLga, though they had fought for two
days and two nights without sleep, were
placed on the sinking and shot-riddled
battleship with a mutinous crew en-
deavOriag continually to obstruct navi-
cation of the prize and If possible to de-
strOy her. Half the Russian crew was
transferred TO the Asahi and Kasuga, but
the remainder outnUnbered the Japa-
nese placed on board. Lieutenant Naka-
gawa, in charge. at once ordered the Jap
anese marines with loaded rifles to stand
over the Russian sailors herded forward,
and armed bluejackets were placed at
other points to guard the ship.
When night came a Russian seaman
dropped an iron pin into the electric dy-
namo, wrecking 1t and causing all the
lights to be extinguished. Great excite
ment followed, in which some of the Rus
SLAMS again opened the sea valves and
the water flooded in, causing the ship to
list TO port. Some tried TO jump into the
sea. thinking the Orel about to Capsize.
Under cover of darkness a party of
Russians tried TO rush the guards, who
fired several times into the thick of the
on-rushing crowd, and then used bay
onets and clubbed-rifies. The mutiny was
finally beaten down and at daylight the
Asahi and Asama came TO act as es-
corts. which cowed the mutineers, al
ready frightened by threats Of summary
execution if another threatening move
was made.

News Received at Mnre Island Sets at

VALLEJO, June 20.--Dispatches re-
ceived at the Mare Island Navy Yard to-
day state that a Chinese crew Of the
transport Zafiro, which arrived at the
Bremerton Navy Yard few days ago
from the Asiatic station to go out OF
commission, will not be landed In this
country. Neither will it be used to man
the distiller ship Iris, as was at first an
nounced.
The labor unions in San Francisco and
in this city were very much exercised
over the announcement that the crew of
the Zafro would be transferred to the
Iris when the last named ship goes into
commission at Mare Island within a few
days and were preparing to protest 10

The Chinese will be brought to this
city by the collier Saturn, now en- route
north, and the Iris will carry the Chinese

PRAISE FOR new CURE
OF CONSUMPTION

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The vegetable
| juice cure for consumption, which is
| described in cablegrams from New
York, is considered of great value, but
not an absolute cure, by Josiah Old
| field, one of Eng1and's foremost prac-
| titioners.
Il am very anxious said he, that
people should not run away with the
false idea that they are going to be
cured by the juices of vegetables, in
the same way that the world thought
consumptive patients were going to be
cured by DR.. Koch's serum.
AT the same time l have been for
a number of years in charge of the
Lady Margaret Fruitarian Hospital at
take in any cases of advanced tubercu-
losis, L feel we are in a special posi-
ton to judge of the value of vegeta-
bic juices in consumption.
DR.. Russelfs claim is that the best
way to treat tuberculosis is to increase
the combative power of the blood cor
puscles, and therein l think he is right
Our experience has distinctly been that
the right use of fruits and vegetable
juices is of the utmost Importance in
increasing the stamina of the blood cor
II have come to look upon flesh food
as largely a stimulant and therefore
valuable in cases of emergency like
alcohol. On the other hand, certain
number of fruits and vegeta bles are
specially nourishing, and therefore es-
sential1y valuable. 1 put raisins in
first of all foods that l know of
After raisins come apples. pears and
their juices. Both are practically non
alcoholic.
Then of vegetables, my experience
has been that carrots are best of all
to use raw, and at the same time graf
ed. not chopped. OF other Vegetables
watercress is also good.
On the question of cooking, the rea-
son why cooked vegetab have not
the same effect as raw vegetables is
largely owing to the fact that water
in which vegetables have been boiled
and which contains the chief salines
of vegetables has been thrown away
The proper way to cook vegetables. If
you want to retain their curative val
ue. is to retain the water in which they
are cooked or to steam them without
water. l do not look upon potatoes as
at all a good vegetable, as they are
