Beginning TO BE AIarmed,s

London, April 20.-The British
public is only now beginning to real
ize how much depends On Togo's
skillful conduct of the approaching
naval contest. Until Rojestyensky
actually arrived in the straits of NAL
acca there was a disposition to ridi-
lcule the efforts of the Russian squad
ron; but now that there is seen to be
a growing likelihood of Vice Admiral
Nebogotoff joining Rojestvensky be-
fore the fateful struggle opens, luke
warm interest is deepening into anx-
iety. According to a Toxic cores
pondent of a newsagency. a momen-
tous war conference lasting five
hours was held there Wednesday, at
tended by the elder statesmen, pre-
mier and ministers. 1t is not difficult
to conjecture the nature of the coun-
Cil's deliberations.

Glenwood Springs. Colo, April 90.
While Courier Chapman was reti-
cent at Newcastle, he was different
when his journey was at an end and
Secretary Loeb had removed the in
junction of secrecy. His eyes kin
died with a fire that told his admira-
ton for the presidents prowess as a
hunter more than could the words at
his command. One expression which
the hardy mountaineer injected into
his story was:
Say. fellows, he's a beaut and no
mistake. The way he scents game
would make you think he was born
in the mountains and had never left
them. Say. now. being president
don't make any difference with a
man that's got the real stun in him.
Con said he was the real thing, and
did not need showing, but did not
believe IT,"

Toxic, April 20.-Although not re-
ported directly 1t is believed the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron con-
tinues the occupation of Kamranh
bay or some other port OF AMMAN,
where it is expected to remain until
Joined by the third Russian Pacific
squadron.
The report that Rojestvensky is
maintaining patrol and examining
neutral shipping of Kamranh in
creases the irritation toward France
for permitting the use of that port as
a base of operations.
The japanese government contin-
ues silence regarding the presenta-
lions on the subject which has been
made to France. The press, howev-
err, continues its agitation against
France, demanding vigorous action.

keenest interest is manifested In the
dispatches referring to the Russian
squadron commanded by Admiral
Roiestvensky. but the admiralty
claims TO be as much in the dark as
the public regarding the plans OF the
admiral. The report that part OF the
squadron was sighted on Hong Kong
is not credited here, however, as
Hong Kong Is far on his route.
The main question now agitating
the naval officials Is whether Rojest-
yensky will elect to proceed north

or bear on into the Pacific through

CHILD'S BODY WAS
FISHED OUT OF PIT
Was Seen Floating Back of a
Slaughter House.
Was BADLY Dccomposed, But City
Physician Pronounced II Body
of Male Child, Maturcd.
THE CORONER TOOK CHARGE.

Luther Durrett. Rice Thornton and
e. G. Ecker, residents of the North
Side, made a grewsome discovery this
morning shortly before noon in
gravel pit near the Durrett slaughter
house on North Sixth street. The
men saw something peculiar looking
floating about in the pit and on ral-
ing It into the bank, found It to be
the body of a child.
The men notified Coroner Grow
who went to the pit, swore the men
and took what evidence he could in
regard to the find. The men were
passing the pit and being attracted
by the foul smell and seeing the body
floating, thought it best to investi-
gate.
Coroner Grow took the remains,
which were pretty badly decomposed,
but not enough to prevent dlstin-
gushing the sex and color, to his
office to prepare them for burial.
City Physician Bass examined the
body and found Il to be that of a
male and pronounced It fully matur-
ed. II could not be determined
whether It was born dead or alive.
Coroner Crow has secured all the
information possible, but the police
will look into the matter and see If
il is possible to secure a clue by
which the case may be worked up.

FILES INJUNCTION.
Railroad Contractor Tired of Annoy
ancc of a Girl.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 20.--A
sensational turn was given the liti-
cation of w. j. Oliver, millionaire
railroad contractor of this city, with
Miss Mamie Cross, of Atlanta. She
is suing Oliver for 100000 for al
legged breach of promise. The new
status of the litigation is made by
the filing of bill by Oliver against
Miss Cross, enjoining her from hound
ing him and members of his family
by calling herself Mrs. Oliver in
stores and continually telephoning
him and by numerous other alleged
nuisances.
The bill claims that Oliver settled
with her for some $4,000 June 3,
1908, the day following his mar
riage In GAINESVILLE.
Miss Cross is enjoined in this and
other states from interfering with
divers railroad construction work,
particularly in Georgia, where he is
double-tracking the Southern rail-
way, and where under the claim OF
being his common-law wife, he
claims, she is attempting TO bring
suit and attach his property.

MUCH INTEREST IS
TAKEN In OPINION
Seems TO Pass on Two or Three
Questions of Importance.
Strccts--knocks out section
Of the Charter.
AND ALSO DEFINES "CRIME"

The court OF appeals in Its decision
yesterday in the Sam Stone case from
Paducah. involving half million
dollars worth OF damage suits against
the city. seems TO have decided two
points clearly.
One OF these is that the ordinances
authorizing city officials to work
prisoners on the streets for fines, are
valid and enforceable, and a person
may be worked on the streets here
after conviction for misdemeanor.
Another important point is that
police magistrates or judges in sec
ond class cities cannot take final ju.
rlsdlction In petty larceny cases, as
they have been doing. Yesterdays de-
csion holds that n police judges jur-
isdiction cannot be In any case where
the fine and imprisonment may be
more than s10O and fifty days. This
would restrict police judges TO mis-
demeanors, and lnvalidates that part
OF the second class charter enabling
police judges to sentence prisoners
to the lookup or workhouse for pet
~ larceny.
Another question that the court Of
appeals passes on Is that Of "3eon-
age" OF course this opinion will
have no effect on the federal courts
construction OF the term, but the
Kentucky court OF appeals states that
4 believes that "crime," both In the
thirteenth amendment to the federal
constitution and in tn state constitu-
zion. means both felonies and misde-
meanors.
The decision relative to the turis-
alctlon OF police judges, however,
will prove OF unusual Importance, as
Il knocks out a section of the second
class charter that had not heretofore
been passed on. Il means that Ia sec
ond class cities, as well as In third
class cities. prisoners charged with
petty larceny must be tried by the
county or circuit Judge.
City Solicitor Ed Puryear has tele-
graphed for complete transcript OF
the opinions. aud until Il arrives a
number of things Will not be fully
understood.
Attorney J. NJ. Worten. who is In
smithIand, attending court. stated
over the telephone today that ne
could not make a statement until he
saw the courts opinion in the case.
lie said Il was possible the decision
means all the eases will have to be
dismissed. but that on the other
hand It may not. The suit decided
Yesterday was an ex parte petition
filed principally TO test certain ques-
lions involved.

north of the Island of Luzon. The
conyiction is growing stronger that
the japanese division Is concentrat-
ing close TO the shores of Japan and
II is also believed that Admiral Togo
will decline to give battle in the open
sea.
This is what the admiralty hopes
for as II believes Rojestvensky would
have more than an even chance If
the two squadrons lined up in an open
fight. They believe that Togo's tao
tics will be night torpedo attacks in
attempts to scatter the Russian ships,
putting some of them out of action
and then picking off the damaged
vessels In the morning, as II is recog-
nized that II one of the Russian ships
Is injured IL might be too dangerous
for the whole squadron to stand by
her and thus offer a big target for
the japanese torpedoes. Such a run
ming fight accompanied by nightly
torpedoe attacks Is what is most
dreaded.
The admiralty has no confirmation
Of the reported cutting of the cable
connecting the Island of Formosa
with the Chinese main land at Foo
Chow, but It is pointed out that even
II true this would not sever commu-
nication with Formosa, as there is a

way of the Luchu Islands to Japan.
