LACK OF COURAGE

COLD WATER DESTROYS HIS
DESIRE TO DIE
cIings to PiIing Until Assistance
Reaches Him-Attempt to Du-
pIicate the Redondo
Case

Suicide is a contagion at Redondo.
]. B. Baynes made an unsuccessful .ef-
fort yesterday to duplicate the suicide
of the day before, when an unknown
man tied heavy weight about his
neck, shot himself through the head
and jumped into the sea.
Baynes' courage failed him and he
clung to a support in the water until
assistance reached him. Baynes lives
at 1888 Santa Monica avenue and is a
mechanic. He has wife and two
children.
The man sought secluded spot in
the dolphin of wharf No. 1 and from
that point jumped into the sea. He was
found clinging to a piling by fisher
mans boat and brought safely to land.
He then begged for a gun and tried to
borrow piece of rope, saying he would
demonstrate the purpose for which he
wanted it. He said that fear of being
out of work prompted him to jump into
the ocean. Baynes said it was not re-
ligion, but lack of it, which caused
said he tried to drown himself, but he
could not sink in the water although
he cannot swim.
Late in the afternoon Deputy Con-
stable Maxey saw Baynes start toward
the pier with a piece of rope. He was
also observed to be searching for an
iron weight. He was promptly taken
into custody and later Marshal Smith
took him to the county hospital at Los
Angeles. He is apparently suffering
from acute melancholia.
An inquest was held yesterday on
the body Of the unknown man who
committed suicide Friday afternoon.
His identity is as yet unknown. He
was dressed neatly, even his under
clothes being new and clean. Nothing
was found on his person but bone
handled knife with three blades.

Mysterious Man With Internal Ma

BY Associated Prese
NEW YORK, Jan. H-Detectives are
expected here tomorrow from Phila-
delphia and Washington to identify
Gessler Rosseau, who was arrested
here today with an internal machine in
his possession and who is locked up
here.
The photographs of Rosseau sent to
Colorado have not had time to reach
their destination, but Captain Donaghy
is confidently expecting to hear from
the Denver authorities that Rosseau Is
known there.
His reason for thinking this is that
Rosseau wore a hat made by Denver
firm. Rosseaus coolness and nerve
does not desert him. He sits quietly in
his cell at the city hall and never COM
plains. He was very anxious to get the
morning newspapers, but these were
refused him.
He is a man of more than average
intelligence and education. His an
swers are civil, but dignified and firm,
and he cannot be induced to answer a
single question about himself.
II made mistake" he said to Cap
tain Donaghy today, "but have moth

know anything about me you will have
to find it out for yourself. cannot
help YOU"
He refuses to answer any question
with reference to any attempt to blow
up the steamship Umbria or the statue
of Frederick the Great. The police
here have questioned the man persist
Iy with reference to the Umbria affair
and also the attempted destruction Of
the battleship Connecticut at the
Brooklyn navy yard, but the prisoner
maintains sphynx-like silence.

VIEWS ON RUSSIAN CIRCULAR
Regarded as Move to Fofestail Com
plants Of Russian Transgression


LONDON, Jan. 14.-The, Russian gov
ernment's circular regarding Chinese
neutrality has not yet reached the
British foreign Office. The delay is due
doubtless to the absence of the Russian
ambassador, such communications
usually being submitted by him in per-
son. Consequently the foreign office de-
clined to give any expression of opinion
concerning the matter.
In diplomatic quarters the circular is
regarded as a move to forestall COM
plants of Russian transgression of
but not as indicating any immediate or
serious action on Russias part in the
near future. The very f" It that there
had been no haste in presenting the cir
cular to Great Britain might indicate
that this is the Russian view.
Baron Hayashi has not received Of
flcial notification of the circular. He
visited Lord Lansdowne this afternoon
and the Associated Press understands
the circular was discussed unofficially.
Lord Lapsdowne later said to the Asso-
ciated Press:
"The Japanese have not replied to the
innumerable allegations of breaches OF
neutrality and of International law
charged by Russia since the beginning
OF the war, but the Japanese govern
ment probably will reply to this formal
charge"
Baron Hayashi thought, however,
that it was in line with other charges
and similar to the "yellow peril scare.
He said Great Britain the United
States and Germany had as great inter
ests In China as Russia had and all
knew from their own agents whether 1t
was necessary to interfere. Incidentally
Baron Hayashi said he was well pleased
to learn of the intention of the Ameri-
can government to establish a district
court for the consular service in China
and Korea, as it would facilitate Jap
anese appeals from the consular courts.
At the German embassy a discus
sion of the Russian circular was pro-
ductive of the opinion that China had
too severe a lesson in the last Boxer
movement to permit Of another out
break against Europeans. 1t was
thought improbable at the embassy that
Russia really intended to withdraw
from adherence to, the agreement linn
iting the zone of hostilities in the Far
East.
At the Chinese legation it was as
serted that China had maintained a
neutrality such as few European pow
ers could have kept, in the face of the
most trying circumstances.
"If China violated the neutrality" 1t
was asked. "what have Germany and
France done? Why select China for
such a formal charge to the powers
1t is not a question of preference upon
the part of the Chinese populace. for
/ assure you that great mass of the
Chinese do not favor the Japanese any
more than they do the Russians"

Science of Jiu 'Jitsu
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, JAM 14.-Wives of the
Northwestern university professors
have taken up jiu jitsu and two classes
a week will be begun next Tuesday by
Miss Gretchen Huegin, the physical
director.
Miss Huegin. who is an enthusiastic
admirer of the Japanese system, has
introduced some of its features into
her work in the young womens gym
nasium.
The new class, however, will be given
up exclusively to jiu jitsu, as Miss
Huegin thinks the methods which it
combines are those most needed for
the physical development of the Ameri-
can woman.
Chicago women frequently have to
fight for their lives with footpads and
need some means of self-defense.

WARNS THE CATTLENIEN.

The State Board of Health has is
sued circular to Die cattlemen of
the state III regard to the advertise
ments of a New York pharmaceuti-
cal house, which claims to have a tu-
berculosis vaccine for cattle The
vaccine is based on the process
evolved by the experiments of Pro
fessor V. Behring. The circular
reads as follows:
In order to inform any cattle
owners that might possibly be think
ing of having their herds innoculat-
ed, the board wishes to say that
the experiments of Professor V. Beh-
ring show that cattle may be pro-
tected against artificial production of
tuberculosis by innoculation. The
length of time of this protection has
not as yet been demonstrated. nor
is it true for all cattle innoculated.
"The innoculation consists of in
PRODUCING into the blood dry tuber-
Gle bacilli and these are carried into
the blood and to all parts of the an
imal. These animals, after iunoc-
ulation, will respond to the tuber-
culin test, and in consequence cannot
be sold subject to that test. These
bacilli may also be excreted in milk
and in this way might be transmit
ted to the system of the human be
ing.
This board wishes to state that
the whole question is still in embryo,
and researches and learning derived
therefrom have not reached point
to demonstrate the practical utility
of this means of protecting cattle
against tuberculosis"
