FINED FOR APPEALING
Mrs Taggart's Plea for q New Trial
Is Refused.

Mrs Taggart's Plea for New Trial
Is Refused.
Wooster, O., Dec. 23.-The motion
for new trial in the Taggart divorce
case was overruled by Judge Eason.
Mrs. Taggart's s attorney, who made tle
motion, took exceptions to the ruling
with the announced intention of carry
ing the case to the circuit court.
The court took four hours to give
the decision. He paid particular at
tention to the affidavits against him
self, some of which declared that he
was prejudiced and biased In giving the
decree of divorce to Major Taggart.
He pronounced these affidavits unfair,
unjust and unusual for lawyers to
make and other affidavits were a mass
of trash.
The attorney who sWore to the affi-
davits, he said, were clearly in COM
tempt and he imposed a fine of SIS
each upon Judge Lyman Cricthfeld,
Captain James B. Taylor and Judge
NJ. L. Smyser. He suspended col
lection of the fines until the circuit
court could pass upon his decision in
the case. The attorneys made a Wig
orous protest against such a proceed
ing and insisted that he place his
charge against them in writing.

BODIES SCATTERED
ABOUT THE STREEES
500 Russians And 900 Chinese
Killed In Riot.
STATEMENT or AN EYEWITNESS
Place After Place Was Burned and
When Riots Ceased over TWO Hun
dred Stores Had Been Destroyed.
Bodies unburied for Three Days.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 23.-Henry
Busch, of Clarkson & Co., of Vladivo-
stok, Port Arthur and Harbin, who ar
rived from Vladivostok by the steamer
Tartar, was an eyewitness of the revolt
among the Russian soldiers tkere, and
gave graphic story
The trouble began at a Chinese ba
zaar where, following a dispute, a mob
OF soldiers rushed the stalls, grabbing
everything they could lay their hands
on. Many Russians went to a steam
er which was discharging Oil and sat
urated the bazaar with it.
They then set fire to the place and
burned it quickly, many of the wound
ed Chinese being then incinerated.
From the bazaar the soldiers went
to the German firm of Schloss & Co.
and the occupants fed for their lives.
The commander, Katsoff, ordered the
troops who were in barracks but in
stead of preventing the revolving sol
dlers from rioting they fired at the
windows while the looters were busy
below
Mr.. Busch says they would not fire
on the revolving soldiers, although they
were quick enough to bring down their
rifles to kill Chinese.
The Kuntz & Albers, full Of mer.
chandise, and the loss must have been
over million dollars, for the mob
brought can after can of oil from the
wharf and burned the place. By tnis
time the streets were full with scream
ing mad Russians and Chinese.
Mr.. Busch did not realize his dan
ger until then. Some Chinese rusa-
ed at him with shouts of There's an
other one!" and he fed.
OF the remainder of tragedy he can
not speak from observation, but ne
learned from good authority when
Kuntz & Albers building was burning
refugees were crowded into Sampans
and all the merchant steamers and
transports were leaving tle harbor.
That night, Nov Is, men paid from
two to fifty roubles to be allowed to
sleep In sampan in the harbor. Place
after place was burned until before
the riots ened over 200 stores had been
destroyed.
Bodies were scattered about the
streets and over 500 Russians and
more than 200 Chinese were among
the dead. The bodies lay unburied for
three days. when they were all herded
up by the wholesale and carted away
for burial.
Commander Katsureff fed to Santa
ka, 2 miles away, on the first day and
the troops who did not take part il
the rioing did not prevent it. Proc
lamation after proclamation was teIe-
graphed by the fugitive commander.
but not until ne promised that the
troops would be sent to Russia as
quick as they could be transported. did
the rioting discontinue.
Returning to vlaiivoostok Mr.. Busch
came across body after body. some
times in groups. The streets present
ed sad appearance. He estimates
the loss at $4,000, 900 and several
years will be required to build up the
place. Mr.. Busch said the army all
throughout the region is dissatisfied.
and he believes great revolt will take
place before long.

Money Is Plentiful

one of the most remarkable features
OF the present situation, according to
another broker. is the apparently ample
supply of money in the hands Of peo..
pie who buy these modest homes. It
IS no unusual occurrence, this broker
declares. when a piece of property has
been bought on the tnstallment plan.
10 have the purchaser come ir when the
hrst payment is due and take up all the
notes covering a period of several years.
This, IL would seem. is one of the very
best indications OF tho soundness Of
the community as a whole. and. fur
thermore. furnishes a fair assurance OF
the stability OF this class of invest
ments- A notable fact In this connec-
don Is that comparatively few OF those
who buy homes on the plan of small
monthly payments ever fail TO complete
the purchase. and this circumstance
strongly contradicts the assertion often
heard that sales on the fnstaIments are
frequently made by so-caIled real estate
sharks who speculate on the possible
failure OF purchasers TO finish their pay
ments. and thereby look TO the chance
Of regaining possession OF the property
and selling it again, thereby making a
double commission.
