In the oral Tits Mrs. Guidiee held her
own and had some to spare but in the
pugilistic encounters Guidiee always
won out by reason Of his superior
knowledge Of the boxing game.
When Guidiee threatened to slap his
wife's face trouble began to brew. Mrs.
Guidiee promptly wagered the small
sum Of four bits even money that he
wasn't game.
Four bits was a goodly looking
sum in the eyes of the husband and
he promptly delivered heavy blow,
as that term is used in the vocabulary
of pugdom.
Yesterday Mrs. Guidiee tearfully told
Judge Allen Of the contest and asked
the court to award her the decision on
a foul.
After several moments hesitation
Judge Allen held that Guidiee had gone
out of his class and the interlocutory
decree was granted.
When her husband emphatically de-
clared that he would not desst in his
habit of putting away large quantities
of intoxicants "even for his mother-in-
law" Mrs. Pauline G. Rood marked the
opinion down in her diary as fatal, and
yesterday she was granted a divorce
in Judge York's court from William o..
Rood on the grounds of cruelty, deser-
tion and habitual intoxication.
According to Mrs. Roods tale, her
husband commenced to drink in un-
limited quantities soon after the we'd
ding and continued in various degrees
from the beginners stage to the para
lytic state.
For three months he never drew a
sober BREATH" walled the plaintiff.

NEW MOTOR FOR
BALDWIN s ARROW
ENGINE BUILT EXPRESSLY FOR
AIRSHIP
Expected to Develop Seven Horse
Power and Weighs only Sew
enty Pounds-Inventor
Is Confident

The new motor for Capt. Baldwin's
famous airship, California Arrow, ar
rived from Hammonsport, N. Y, yes
terday morning. The captain arrived
from San Francisco at about the same
time, and was much gratified when he
found that at last this engine for which
he has been waiting so long was at
hand.
The new frame for the Arrow, which
Baldwin and Knabenshue have beef
building in the aerodrome at the
Chutes, is ready for the engine. The
motor was Immediately taken to the
park and will be installed in a few
days.
This motor is a wonderful piece of
mechanism and shows great deal Of
originality and ingenuity on the part
of the builders. 1t is guaranteed to
develop seven horse power, and Capt
Baldwin feels confident that 1t will
show even greater power. 1t is proba-
bly, the llghtest engine of it's power
ever built, as 1t weighs but seventy
pounds. The construction SLOWS the
two cylinder opposed type which has
been found so successful in automobiles
and is calculated to reduce the vibra-
ton to a minimum.
Capt. Baldwin is enthusiastic over
his new engine and feels confident that
when all is ready the Arrow, with her
new frame and her more powerful
motor, will make the most successful
flight on record when next she tries
the Southern California air. If all goes
we'll the little sky yacht will soar over
the city next Sunday afternoon.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Although in
fuences are still at work in the hope
that an amicable adjustment of the
difficulty existing between the team
sters and Montgomery Ward & Co. can
be reached, the indications tonight are
that the strike of the teamsters will
spread to other concerns.
Today $50 drivers employed by the
E. NJ. Forbes Teaming company were
ordered on strike because the firm in
sisted on making deliveries to Mont
gomery Ward & Co. President Shea
of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters declared tonight he would
order out all drivers engaged by firms
that insisted on delivering supplies to
the big store.
The new Employers Teaming COM
pany began aggressive action against
the striking teamsters today by deliv-
ering coal to Montgomery Ward & Co.
The Coal Team Owners association
has arranged for a conference tomor-
row with the Employers association,
at which another effort to effect a set
tlement of the strike will be made.
The Team Owners association will
present a proposition to arbitrate
every thing in dispute.
Nothing of a tangible nature is eX-
pected to result from this conference,
as Montgomery Ward & Co. stead
fastly refuse to arbitrate the demands
of the garment workers. although
Offering to accept conciliatory meas
ures with the teamsters. The garment
workers places have been filled and
Montgomery Ward & Co. assert there
is nothing to arbitrate.

ST. PETERSBURG. April 19-The
plea at Moscow yesterday of kaleieff,
sassination of Grand Duke Sergius,
that a state of civil war existed in
Russia and that he was a prisoner of
war and not an ordinary prisoner ac-
cused OF crime, is considered here to
indicate the position which the terror
lists will assume hereafter.
Naturally such a position is not ac-
knowledged by the government, but
the terrorists will persist in the fiction.
Kaleieff, having been tried by a
special commission of the senate,
against which there is no appeal, will

Town Of 5ullfrog Depopulated and
Lots Selling in New Town at
High Figure

Special 10 The Herald.
GOLDFIELD. New, April 15--The
town Of Buufrog is practically depopu-
lated now, and every one of conse-
quence has pulled UP his tent and
moved over into the new metropolis
A remarkable feature of the new
town of Rhyolite is that there is no
constable. None is apparently needed.
This state Of affairs is explained by
the fact that every citizen believes
every other citizen carries gum and
as a result perfect order prevails. An
unprotected woman is as safe in Rhyo-
lite at night as she would be on Fifth
avenue New York, in broad daylight.
Main street is eighty feet wide, and
the townsite company has cleared and
graded every side street and made
roads to the adjoining mines and
camps. The town presents a spick and
span appearance, like a brand new
ship. 1t lies in valley and Is sur
rounded on every side by the great
producing mines of the district.
The altitude of Rhyolite is only $500
feet, or about 210O less than Goldfield.
The temperature that prevails Is about
fifteen degrees higher than in Gold
field. Corner lots on Main street are
selling at $1,000

hours, and succeeded in keeping nearly
800 employees from working.
The fires of six of the eight furnaces

disorder Is looked for and a settlement
is expected within a few days.
The wheeers struck when the smeter

They demanded the same hours as the
other workmen, which was refused by
the management. This morning when
the other employees came to work the
strikers stood at the gate and prevent

dispatches referring to the Russian
squadron commanded by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, but the admiralty claims
to be as much in the dark as the pub
lie regarding the plans of the admiral.
The report that part of the squadron
was sighted off Hongkong is not cred
tied here, however, as Hongkong is far
off his route. The main question now
agitating the naval officials is whether
northward through the straits of For
mosa or bear off into the Pacific
through Baschi channel, north of the
island of Luzon.
The conviction is growing that the
Japanese heavy division Is concen-
trating close to the shores of Japan,
and it is also believed Admiral Togo
will decline to give battle in the open
sea. The admiralty hopes for a battle,
however, as it sincerely believes Ro-
jestvensky will have more than an
even chance if the two squadrons are
lined up in an open fight.
1t believes that Togo's tactics will be
night torpedo boat 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, and it is recognized that if
one of the Russian ships is injured it
might be too dangerous for the whole
squadron to stand by her and thus
offer big target for the Japanese
torpedoes. Such running fight accom-
panied by nightly torpedo attacks,
therefore, is what is most dreaded.

PRUNE CROP VERY SHORT
Millions of Pounds Fall PrematureIy
From the Trees
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, April ia. D.
Porter of J. K. Armsby & Co., A.
Rosenberg of Rosenberg & Co. and
Mr. Blum, the packer of Vacavile, say
that the prune crop of California this
year, in all the principal districts, will
range from only one-quarter to one
half of the California seasonal output
Various theories are given to supply
an explanation for the phenomenon.
One Is that rains kept the flowers wet,
preventing perfect pollinization and
causing the fruit to fall prematurely.
Another theory is that insects have
caused the damage.
Small fruit that represented millions
of pounds of mature prunes has fallen
from the trees within the last week.
The loss cannot yet we'll be estimated

HARDIN, April 19.-There was a de-
termined attempt on the night Of April
II to cut the railroad between Hardin
and Vladivostok, formidable body of
Chinese bandits making an attack near
the station of Imyanpo, 100 miles east
of Harbin. After a desperate fight,
which lasted for several hours, the
bandits We're driven off and dispersed.
Many smaller companies of Chinese
bandits are rowing in the rear of the
Russian army, but disappear when
pursued. 1t is thought probable that
they are Manchurians who scatter to
their villages when they find themselves
in danger. There are various reports
of wide turning movements at Tritsi-
kar or eastward of that point but as
yet these rumors are apparently un-
founded.
The number of skirmlshes taking
place on the east flank of the Russian
army, however, go to indicate that the
Japanese are planning to thrust north
eastward and interpose a force between
