crucifixion as Means Of seif-Torture
Among Penitentes.
Trinidad, Colo, April 24.-On the
cross, just as the Saviour died cen.
turies ago, a fanatical member of the.
.Penitentes is reported to have died
Friday at Torres, Las Animas county,
Colo. Several Trinided people claim
to have been among the eyewitnesses,
but they agreed among themselves not
to talk for publication, so the details
are not yet known. According to the
report current here, however, the vic
tim was nailed to cross of his own
formation and died in agony that he
did notsseem to feel, wrought as he
was to q delirium OF religious fervor.
The story of the crucifxion is
Youched for by Henry D. Robinson,
an automobile agent of this city, who
saw a crowd of Mexicans who had
been eyeWitnesses and were discuss.
ing the tragic scene. In the. old days,
so it isssaid, the carrying out of an
actual crucifixion was not uncommon
among the Penitentes, but it was sup
posed to have been abandoned long
ago, although it is known that the
practice OF self-torture is still carried
out among the members OF the order
during Holy week.

NO COMPLICATIONS FEARED.
Russia Asserts French Neutrality i4as
Not Been Violated

st. Petersburg, April 22.-The Off
Gals here neither deny nor a-lln the
report that Rojestvensky is still al
kamranh bay. The foreign Office dis
plays no anxiety as a result OF tse
protests made by Japan over the al
legged violation OF French neutrality,
expressing confidence that when all
the 1acts are known il will lie lound
that the Russians did not violate the
neutrality of France. Serious compli.
cations are not anticipated.
Nothing has been heard from the
Fourth division OF the squadron con-.
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. Most
of the naval men express the opinion
that Rojestvensky will not await a
juncture with Nebogatoff, but will al
low this weaker division to trail be
bind him. The following statemer,
on the subject was made:
Ii Rojestvensky is still at Kan +
ranh bay or contemplates remaining
there until Nebogatoff joins his shins
he will remain outside the three-tnile
limit, as he did during his long stay
Off Madagascar. Naturally Japan will
file a caveat just as she would file one
with the United States if Ruiess ven.
sky shouiG spDroach the Philippines.
Japan's protest is IL the nature of a
warning. The facts yet remain to be
established

RoJEsTvENsKY TOLD TO RleoR-
ousLY RESPECT NEUTRALITY
OF FRENCH WATERS.
USE OF FORCE An IkPOssIBILlTY
LACKS NECESSARY WARSHIPS TO
ExPEL RUSSIAN SQUADRON
FROM kAMRANH BAY.

Paris, April 22.-As result of com
munications between the governments
at Paris and St. Petersburg the Rus
sian government has forwarded urgent
orders to Admiral Rojestvensky to rig
Orously respect the neutrality Of
French waters. This is a precaution
airy measure. In addition special in
structions have been sent to the gov
ernor general of Indo-China, M. Beau,
and Foreign Minister Delcasse has in
-structed the French minister at Toxic
TO give the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs assurances that it is
Frances purpose to preserve strict
neutrality, these being similar to the
assurances given to DR.. Motono, the
Japanese minister at Paris.
According to the official view the
foregoing steps should exercise dis
tinctly calming influence upon Japan
as they show France directly and
through Russia has adopted all avail
able means to insure respect of the
neutrality of French waters. The
officials say that the only additional
measure open is the use of French
WaTships to employ force in eXpelling
RojestVensky's squadron. Such a
course, however, is said to be impos-
sihle, owing to the small number OF
French ships in lndo-Chinese waters.
Moreover, as an official remarked,
Franc is net in the habit Of resorting
10 suyh extreme measures as using
force. This is particularly true in
the case OF Russia owing to the com
plications which might arise from
France adopting forcible steps against
Russia. Therefore the instructions
already given from Paris and st. Pc
tersburg are relied upon to prevent
Admiral Rojestvensky from encroach-
ins upon French territorial waters.
Or. MOtono, in an interview, said
his request was that France observe
neutrality by adopting all the ngces,
sary measures for preventing Adniral
ROjestvensky's squadron from remain
ing any longer in French territorial
waters at Kamranh bay The minis
ter added that the Russian ships are
quite inside French waters and not
outside OF them.

LOSS OF ELEVEN AND ONE-HALF
CENTS IN PRICE OF MAY
WHEAT OPTION.
WILD SCENES WITNESSED IN THE PIT
CRIES OF THE EXCITED BROKERS,
PLAINLY AUDIBLE IN THE
STREETS BELOW.

Chicago, April 24.-May wheat came
down with crash during the day,
touching 81a cents. Less than six
weeks ago the price for the option
was $1.2iA. Of this sensational de-
cline OF % cents the net loss of the
day was II u cents bushel. The
market reacted somewhat at the close,
final quotations being at 81 even.
1t was evident from the opening of
business that brokers for John w.
Gates, the reputed leader Of coterie
that was supposed to be engaged in ali
attempt to corner the May option, had
Withdrawn support from the market.
The days developments indicated that
not only were Gates and friends fail
ing to support the market, but that
they were actively engaged in dis
posing of their holdings
The scenes in the wheat pit were
among the widest ever witnessed
there, although the trading was not
heavy. The gallery was full of spec
tatOrs, while the floor Of the board
was crowded with traders and brokers.
The din of the pit could be heard
plainly in the boulevard below, max
ing wholly inaudible the clatter of
horses hOOfs on the asphalt The
crowd in the pit surged and pushed
as the break in prices continued and
members on the wrong side, in efforts
to cover losses, shouted themselves
hoarse, with persniration streaming
down their cheeks, as they vainiy
sought to stop the runaway market.
Gates Not Heavy Loser.
After the days trading was over
operators on Change freely expressed
a belief that Gates and friends had
got out OF the May wheat deal with
little, if any, loss to themselves as
there were numerous stories of an
agreement with Armour and other
leading traders following which May
wheat was left to it's own resources
The report was given that Mr.. Gates
had fully protected himself. Immense
purchases of July wheat, presumably
for Armour, during the past few days
was said to furnish the basis of the
agreement. A favOrite theory is that
as May wheat was being sold hedges
in July were at the same time being
taken Off. Another report was that
Gates and Armour representatives at
a secret meeting had made an agree
ment to liquidate May holdings and
switch into the July option. otfsetting
any losses in May by a greater profit
in July.
The days decline was almost con-
t1nuOus from start to finish. There
was slight breathing spell at $1.O2,
the market rallying from that figure
temporarily to $1.04. The momentary
rally, however, was soon followed by
the worst slump of the day, the price
going to 9S1a shortly before the clos
ing of the days business. There was a
slight rebound in the last few minutes,
the quotation as the final gong sound
ed being ST even a bushel.

FRENCH PRESS URGES ACTION.
Government Must Protect Neutrality
and Preserve Worlds Peace.


and Preserve Worlds Peace.
Paris, April 22.-Japan's representa-
tion has had the effect of bringing the
Franco-Japanese incident to the tront
rank Of public attention. The leading
newspapers here adopt the govern
ment view that Foreign Minister Del
casse's assurances calm the situation
Deputy de Lancessan (Radical Re,
publican), former minister OF marine
and at one time governor OF lndo,
China, says in the Steele:
1--WE cannot ignore the fact that the
japanese people are greatly excited
by the war and that public opinion
may drive the Toxic cabinet to take
extreme action. We therefore insist
that the Rouvier ministry rapidly
adopt steps in conformity with the
interests OF France and the main
tenance OF peace. All france agrees
that the government has the duty oi
protecting French neutrality and thus
preserving the worlds peace"
The Humanie (Sociaiist) says:
IF the impending naval battle oc
ours in lndo-Chinese waters and the
Russian squadron seeks refuge in our
ports then France may be suddenly
dragged into conflict in spite OF her
self that would mean war and the
government which, through feeble
ness and blindness, permitted such a
catastrophe to occur would bear one
OF the most terrible responsibilities
history has known"
