Por 6rdenes de este cuerpo han

tan pronto como condena & alguien

cuci6n de la sentencia q un hombre
valeroso, resuelto y callado, dispuesto
q sacriticar la vida. De estos hombres
dicen los revoluciouarios rusos que
hay cientos en- Londres, en- Paris y en-
Ginebra.

sas, hay la tolstoyana en- la apacible

Passes the Night
Unguarded in
Cabin.
In the Morning His Wife
Prepares a Simple
Breakfast.
Compelled to Borrow a Match
From a Passing Negro to
Light the Fire.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RICHMOND, Va, June 1o.-Mrs
Roosevelt cooked breakfast for her
husband this morning, and from all
accounts, though IL was q simple meal
the President enjoyed II more than he
has enjoyed more elaborate ones in the
past. This democratic meal was eaten
at the country home Of Mrs. Roosevelt
near Scottsville, Albemarle County
which she bought q few days ago from
the Presidents friend. W. n. Wilmer
whose country home is very short
distance away. The Roosevelt estate"
consists of fifteen acres of forest. with
a small cabin.
Mrs. Roosevelt has been a guest OF
the Winners since Thursday. Yester-
day the President joined her here and
in the evening, after dinner, he decided
that they would go over and stay in
the cabin all night, unguarded.
As simply as a Nirginian rural couple
they went alone TO the little frame
structure among TIE trees and slept
peacefully. with the nearest human
being q quarter of a mile away.
Mrs. Roosevelt was the cook this
morning. She did not rouse the Presi-
dent but went down alone to light the
oil stove. Not, single match could be
found In the cabi. Finally, from a
negro, who passed along, match was
obtained by the Presidents wife, and
breakfast was soon prepared.
The greater portion of the day was
spent by the President out OF doors and
around the stables of Mr.. Wilmer He is
charmed with the country. On Sunday
afternoon or Monday he will return to
Washington.

MILLIONS IN
THE COURTS
Enormous Estate Is
Prize in Legal
Battle.
Action Begun in Behalf
of Decedent' S Grand
daughter.
Litigation Involves Late Phila-
delphian's Fortune, Esti-
mated at $60,0O0,00O.
Special Dispatch to III. Call

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. = What
promises to be one of the greatest legal
battles in the courts of this country was
begun to-day. This action means that a
determined effort is to be made to
break the will of William Weightman,
the manufacturing chemist, who died
leaving the bulk of his estate, valued at
$60,o0O,000, to his only remaining child,
Anna Weightman Walker. The contest
was instituted by Mrs. Jones Wister,
whose first husband was DIR. William
Weightman Jr. in the interest of Martha
Rogers Weightnan, their daughter
Recently Mrs. Jones Wister relin-
pushed the guardianship of her daugh-
ter and Charles Ed Invilliers was ap-
pointed to that relation in her place. This
was done to enable him to enter and
carry on legal proceedings in the will
contest. ss
The contest has hung fire for some
time, seemingly at first in an effort TO ef-
feet a compromise with Mrs. Walker
which she apparently determinedly re-
Jected, and latterly awaiting the prepara-
ton of the case by Mrs. Wister's law
yers.
The action to-day was begun by Din
viliiers and was instituted in the Orphans
Court, where Judge Ashmau handed
down a decree ordering that a citat on be
awarded. compelling Mrs. Walker to
show cause why an appeal from the de-
cision of the register Of wills, admitting
to probate the will Of Weightman, should
not be sustained and the decision set
aside.

AUTOMOBILE
PARTY RACES
into A RIVER
Three Drown as Result
of Recklessness of
a Driver.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Three persons
were drowned and two others narrowly
escaped a like fate tonight when an
automobile in which the five were rid
ing plunged into the open draw OF the
Rush-streer bridge over the Chicago
River. Those drowned were-
JEROME G. KURTzMAN. Chicago
manager for the Liquozone Company
MRS. JEROME G. KURTZMAN-
w. E. HARTLEY, manager for To-
cal automobile establishment
Those rescued were: w. H. Hoops Jr-.
local manager for an automobile COM
pany, and Mrs. jeremiah Runyon or
New York City. Both Mrs. Runyon and
Mr.. Hoops were unconscious for half
an hour after being taken from the wa
ter but are expected to recover
The accident occurred at the north
end OF the bridge. where there is an
upward slope of zoo feet before the end
the bridge or the edge Of the draw is
reached This slope is so steep that it
has not been necessary TO stretch
chains across the roadway, as is done
at number of other bridges, for the
reason that IL would be almost impos-
sible for a vehicle to slide over the
edge into the river
Tonight the occupants Of the automo-
bile which dashed into the river were

machine. thinking TO pass ahead. pulled
out to one side and. putting on extra
power, shot toward the open draw at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. When

danger and, throwing all his weight on
the steering wheel attempted to turn the
machine to the left and by running along
the edge Of the draw make quick turn

was too close TO the draw to permit OF
this, however.
The machine turned slightly. and tor

LONDON, June lo.-"The United
States Of America and Germany are not
only ousting Britain from her foreign
markets, but they are flooding her
home markets with goods cheaper than
she can make them" said Senator R.
W. Best Of the Australian Common
wealth Parliament to number of city
merchants and others assembled under
the auspices of the Australian Chamber
or Commerce in London. British
travellers, he added, were simply no.
where in comparison with the tenacity
and pushfulness of the American and
German traYelers- English merchants
were far too conservative. They would
not change their methods, measure
ments and other details on any account
ana the result was a loss of trade.
AS an instance of the need to keep

British Government is not taking any
part in the negotiations, it is giving the
most cordial support to the President, of
whose actions it has been kept fully in
formed. Diplomatic and official circles
speak in the highest terms of the diplo-
matte manner in which the President
handled the situation and are fully in ac-
cord with what they considered to be the
only way in which the difficulty could be
overcome. The United States, not being
entangled in any way, was really the
only country which could take action,
but even President Roosevelt could not
do more than endeavor to start direct
negotiations between the belligerents
Japan, 1t can be said. refused to start
the negotiations until fully assured of the
earnestness of Russia and that her pro-
posals would be seriously considered. Her
demands will include an indemnity the
amount of which is a point on WHICH the
President is urging lenient treatment 1t
is considered here that Japan is entitled
to an indemnity, and it is pointed out
that while lie payment of an indemnity
might affect the standing of Russia
among the powers. 1t is not so serious as
the loss of territory; besides the pay
ment of an indemnity would be forgotten
sooner than the loss of territory and
would leave no feeling for revenge
Financial circles in London are of the
opinion that the Japanese will demand
an indemnity amounting to about $780,
100000, that being their estimate of the
cost to the Japanese of the sixteen
months fighting. This is considered in
some quarters to be too large an esti-
mate Of the expenditure, which is thought
to be nearer $500 900 900.
Diplomatic circles In London are closely
concerned about the present movement,
and are of the opinion that the plenipo-
tentiaries will meet in Washington. Bar
on Rosen (who is to succeed Count Cas-
SIM as Russian ambassador to the United
States) probably representing Russia.
1t is understood. also. that Russia now
admits in principle that the demand for
an indemnity is justified
It is suggested that the terms of Japan
probably will include the acknowledge
ment of a Japanese protectorate over
Korea. the total Russian evacuation of
Manchuria. the handing over of Russian
,, interests on the Lsaotung Peninsula and
at Port Arthur to Japan and the cession

Agrees to Appoint Plenipotentiaries 10
Meet Those Of Russln.
TOXIC. June 10.-Japan has agreed
to President Koosevelts suggestion to
appoint plenipotontiaries to meet Rus
sian plenipotentiaries.
After acknowledging the receipt of
President Roosevelt's letter Minister
of Foreign Affairs Komura in a note to
Griscom, the American Minister, says
the Imperial Government has given the
suggestion of President Roosevelt the
serious consideration to which, coming
from that important source, it is Justly
entitled.
Minister Komura's note says that
Japan. in the interest of the world. as
we'll as that OF Japan, is willing to re-
establish peace with Russia on terms
and conditions that will fully guarantee
the stability Of the Imperial Govern
,nent Therefore. Japan will.~in re-
sponse to the suggestion of President
Roosevelt. appoint plenipotentiaries to
meet the plenipotentiaries of Russia at
such time ard place as may be found
mutually agreeable and convenient for
the purpose of negotiating and conclud-
ing terms OF peace directly and cxclu-
sively between the two belligerent

and declares that only the people shall
decide whether they shall submit to this
humiliation.
These tactics will produce all the more
effect since, so far as the indemnity goes,
the radical papers undoubtedly reflect
the views Of the masses OF the Russian
people. as well as those prevalent in Of
fetal circles. The status of Vladivostok
and the question of an indemnity are
sure to be the main obstacles to an agree
ment once the belligerents are brought
together, but the crisis which the solid
elements of the opposition is trying to
precipitate constitutes the chief danger.

PARIS, June l0.-Camile F1ammarion,
writing on the influence of sun spots on
spring vegetation, says that for the last
twenty years he has noticed the date on
which the chestnut trees in the Avenue
de lObservatoire have leaved and
bloomed- From these records he shows
that there is a remarkable correlation
between sun spots and vegetation, tend
ing to show that the sun throws out
more heat when the spots reach their
maximum, thus confirming Able Mo-
reau's theory that the spots indicate the
period of the greatest solar activity.
