THREE RUSSIAN
REFUGEE SHIPS
They VIII Not be Allowed to Repair
at Manila.
POINT GOVERNING THE CASE
Their Unseaworthlnens Caused by
an Act of War. and Not Due
to the EIements-They
Must be Interned.

Washington, June 6.Admiral En-
quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Manila This government has
decided that the injuries to the ships
were not caused by the sea or storm,
the authorities will be obliged to refuse
permission for the vessels to be re-
paired there. Secretary Taft cabled the
following instructions to Gov. Wright
at Manila regarding the ships:
'"Time can. not be given for the re-
pair of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels can not be re-
paired unless interned until the end of
hostilities."
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It was stated by Secretary
Taft that If the Russian vessels agreed
to leave Manila In their present condi-
ton they were welcome to do so, but
as it did not appear that they suffered
from any damage caused by the sea or
storm, this government was obliged to
take the position above outlined.
In case Admiral Enquist does not
adopt this course, his only alterna-
tive, after the period allowed by inter-
national law has expired, will be to in
terne his ships. Orders have been is
sued for Admiral Train to take charge
of the details of internement if the
Russian admiral decides to follow this
policy.
The navy department received a ca
blegram from Rear Admiral Train con-
firming in detail the press dispatch OF
regarding the length of time required
by three Russian ships at Manila to re-
ceive such repairs as will put them in Q
seaworthy condition.

TRAGEDY DUE TO DRINK.
John zoIler, sr., Blows Himself to
Pieces, Fatally Wounds Son and
wife, with Internal Machine.

New York, June 6John Zoller,
whose father, John Zoller, ST., a
Ridgewood contractor. blew up his
home with an internal machine in an
effort to kill himself, his wife and the
boy, is dying in St Mary's hospital,
Jamaica.
The father was killed instantly, his
body being blown to pieces, but the
wife and mother escaped almost with
out injury, though her reason is de-
throned and the death of her son, who
is 20 years old, may make her recov-
cry impossible.
Drink alone is declared to be re-
sponsible for zoller's attempt at whole
sale murder. When he entered his
home he carried small round object
in his hand which he fingered continu-
ally. When his wife and son were in
the room there was sudden explosion
which tore the arm that held the bomb
from Zoller's body and tore the body
to pieces. The son was hurled through
the rear window to the yard where he
lay bleeding and unconscious.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Is Unconstitutional and Unneces-
sary to Confscate the Property
Of the Railways.


Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commission Prouty said in dis
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. / think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. have never advocated any law,
and / am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any COM
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. -. The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of It's property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company Of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
SHOULD say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of it's rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has Jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
l have looked at these cases
q great many times, and can only
come to the conclusion that a railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
and reasonable rate, and if any order
of a commission, if any statute of a
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"

TRADE AND CROP CONDITIONS
Improvement Noticeable Since the
Advent of Clearing skies and
SeasOnabIe weather.

New York, June Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Trade reports, crop conditions and
to a lesser degree, collections, display
an improved appearance, the result of
rather better weather conditions.
Clearing skies and more seasonable
weather have made for better retail
trade, improved recorder business with
jobbers in seasonable goods, and last,
but not least, have cleared the crop sit
uation and have allowed some measure
of ascertainment of the damage done
by excessive rains, high water or low
temperatures in widely separated areas.
Weather and crop Irregularities color
trade reports, but it is to be noted that
the northwestern cities return very op-
timistic reports, the central west is
cheerful, and some southern points re-
port trade better than anticipated
earlier. Effects on trade of the back
ward spring at the east are being re-
paired. Industry is still active, though
the iron and steel trades are rather
quieter. Building is active the country
over, and except at Chicago, labor

JAPS DISCUSS
NAVAL BATTLE
They Find Several Causes Tending
to Rojestvensky's Defeat.
AN IMPERFECT FORMATION,
The weather, Direction Of the wind
and Sunlight, Waste OF Ammuni-
tion, Poor Gunnery, All COM
tribnted to it.

Toxic, June 3.-The cardinal causes
of Rojestvensly's defeat have been the
subject Of general discussion here. One
Japanese expert gives the following
analysis:
First, an imperfect reconnaissance
and incomplete, faulty and misleading
intelligence.
Second, an imperfect battle forma-
tion, which indicated that Rojestven-
sky did not expect to meet Togo off
Tsushima.
Third, the weather, the direction of
the wind and the sunlight we're unfa-
yorable to the Russians, Togo having
the sun behind him and firing with the
wind, while the Russians had the sun
light in their eyes and fired against the
wind.
Fourth, the Russians wasted their
ammunition, and eventually ran
short. It is believed that the surren-
der Of Nebogatoff was necessary, be-
cause his ammunition had been ex-
pended.
Fifth, the marked inferiority of the
Russian gunnery"
Criticism by Experts.
Some experts criticize Rojestvensky
for essaying the Tsushima channel.
Others uphold him, saying that his only
chance lay in going through that chan
mel. The impression prevails that
Rojestvensky was totally unaware of
the presence of Togo's entire feet off
Tsushima. Many believe that it was
not necessary for Togo to take sta
tion at a pivotal point from which it
would be possible to intercept the Rus
SLAMS entering either the Tsushima,
Tsugaru or Soya channels. Calclfla-
tions placed this pivotal point on the
west coast, near the western entrance
of Tsugaru channel. Togo's real
whereabouts were known to many Jap
anese, but the secret was successfully
guarded; an example of the willingness
and ability of the japanese to preserve
military secrets.
Superior Japanese Personnel.
Leaving aside the questions of pre-
paredness and superior conditions, the
VI IOO Oopd4OOO
fresh from is months successful cam
paigning under all possible conditions,
must be taken into consideration.
Many ascribe the victory entirely to
the superior craftsmanship of the jap
anese. Togo, realizing that it would
probably be necessary to fight in the
open sea, gave his crews long training
in firing during rough weather with a
heavy wind blowing and the ships roll
ing. When the hostile fleets met, the
superiority of the Japanese Immediate
ly became evident The sinking of bat
tleships and armored cruisers by shell
fire testif1es to the deadly accuracy of
the Japanese gunners, and destroys the
theory that it is impossible to sink
such ships by shell fire.
Curious Japanese Attitude.
The attitude of japanese naval men
toward victory is curious. Togo's
message to the emperor saying that the
victory was the result of the enper-
or's superhuman influence strikes the
keynote of the navy's attitude. The
officers openly say that the marvellous
result obtained was impossible to mere
human achievement alone.

eye for the beautiful and a profound
respect for the same is evidenced by
the fact that the average number of
visitors who pass through the doors
of the congressional library at Wash

the United States for the detention of
the vessels in Manila harbor until the
end of the hostilities.

Dire Punishment Awaits Him Unless

st. Petersburg, June 3.-Feeling in
the admiralty against Rear-Admiral
Nebogatoff continues to run high, the
majority of the naval authorities being
deaf to the appeals of the few who in
sist that the admirals action in sur
rendering his warships should not be
condemned until the circumstances be-
come fully known. The majority say
they could forgive anything but sur
render, and point to the precedent set
in the case of the Russian warship
Raphael, which, in 1929, during the
Russo Turkish war, struck its colors to
three Turkish ships which surrounded
it.
Nicholas l. meted out a terrible pun
ishment to the officers and crew of the
Raphael, ordering that all of them
should be shot after their exchange,
and directing that if the ship should
ever be recaptured its infamous history
should be blotted out by the total de-
struction of the vessel.
The Raphael. strange to say, was re-
captured "a years later at Sinope, dur
ing the Crimean war, a son of the cap-
tain who surrendered her taking part
in the battle, and to this son fell the
task of executing the dead emperor's
orders to destroy her. Many naval au-
thorities DECLARE that the emperor
should reserve the same fate for Adj
miral Nebogatoff.
