the Judge dismissed the petty larceny
complaint.

Then she shifted defantly at D. o.

house furnishers, who proceeded to in
form the court that Miss Stevens had
obtained from him certain goods by
false pretenses, said goods consisting
of one fancy clock, two statuettes and
two floor rugs, of the total value of
S23. 1t was on her representation that
she was furnishing a suite of apart
ments on Ellis street that he delivered
the goods and accepted her written
promise to pay for the SA1e in easy
installments. When he went to collect
the first installment he discovered that
she had left the Ellis-street house, neg
lecting to leave either the goods or any
clew as to where she had taken them,
and after infinite, trouble he traced her
to a Market-street lodging house, and
there effected her arrest. No, he did
not remember Of whom the statuettes
were counterfeit presentments in min
iature, but was inclined to believe that
neither Of them was modelled on the
physical lines Of Battling Nelson, nor
did he think that either of them was
fashioned to immortalize Nan Patter-
son.
Miss Stevens vouchsafed the infor-
nation that her husband is a chauffeur
and will fight for her to ''the bitter
end" Then she was given till next
Tuesday to collect proofs of her inno-
cence of intent to defraud.

PRIV ATE ROOMS
Commissioners Hutton and
Reagan Are Firm Against
the French Restaurants
POHEIM Is PRESIDENT
New Member of Police Board
Placed st It's Head With
the Aid of His Own Vote
POHEIM IS PRESIDENT

Police Commissioners Hutton and
Reagan announced last night that they
we're still opposed to private rooms in
French restaurants. Beds must be re-
moved and the doors between rooms
must be taken out. they declared.
Though the other two Commissioners
voted in favor of renewing the liquor
: licenses, the negative carries in case of
a tie and it looks very much as If the
private rooms must go. The Bay State
restaurant, Delmonico's and the old
Poodle Dog pleaded, through Attor-
ney Abe Ruef, that their cases go over,
but this was denied. The resorts are
. now running without licenses.
3; Commissioner Poheim was elected
president of the Board of Police Com
missioners. He voted for himself and
received the ballots Of Reagan and
Drinkhouse.
When the cases of Sergeants Ellis.
Brophy and FRAZIER, against whom
Hutton preferred charges, were called
q letter from Foreman Andrews of the
Grand Jury was read asking that the
hearing by the Commissioners be again
postponed. The Grand Jury expects
to complete its investigations in an
other week and the foreman asks that
nothing be done to interfere with the
work of the inquisitorial body.
Though Poheim objected, the case
OF Ellis is to be taken UP a week from
tomorrow and those Of the others
were postponed for two weeks.
George Villanos, who conducts a
restaurant at 1922 Market street,

Hutton introduced a resolution, sec

STRIKE RANKS
GAIN RECRUITS
Suspension of Work at
Russian Shipyards Dis
astrous to War Plans
SPREAD OF MOVEMENT
Construction of Submarine
Boats on the Neya Yards
Comes to a Standstill

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1s.-The
strike situation is becoming very grave.
To-night $4,000 men are out on strike.
and the movement Is spreading to the
big cotton mills, which employ more
than $4,000 operatives. Meetings have
been called for to- morrow. at which the
Socialistic Democratic leaders will use
their utmost endeavors to convert the
strike into a vast political demonstra-
ton, which at the present crisis might
have most serious developments. The
authorities are adopting every precau-
ton to avoid an outbreak, but the So
cialist Democrats are squirting on the
strikers, and there is great danger of a
collision with the troops, which would
be almost sure to be followed by red
flag demonstration, accompanied with
great bloodShed.
Early to-day the employees Of the Neva
Shipbuilding Works decided to support
the strikers of the Putiloff and Franco
Russian works. Subsequently II, 1000 OF
the men of the Neva works informed
their managers that they had gone out
on a general strike.
The strike at the Neva works in
wolves the suspension of the con-
struction Of submarine boats, which
was being carried out under the super
vision of an American engineer, and
also the work on two ocean-going ves-
sells similar to those of the volunteer
fleet, and several gunboats and tor
pedo- boats, besides the preparation of
war material urgently required for
naval and military purposes.
Following are the demands Of the
Putiloff works strikers:
First-The dismissal OF the foreman, who
is objected to by the union, and the reinstate-
ment OF the who were dismissed for be-
longing to the union
Second-Eight hours work per day
Third-The valuation OF work to be made by
a joint committee of workmen and foremen-
Fourth-The appointment of q joint perma-
nent committee of arbitration.
Fifth-A minimum wage Of 80 cents per day
for unskilled male labor.
Sixth-Overtime work not to be obligatory,
and to be paid for at double rates.
Seventh--The men not to bear the cost Of
Eighth-A minimum wage of 35 cents pee
day for unskilled female labor. and the es-
tablishment OF creche for children.
Ninth-Improved medical attendance.
Tenth-Improved sanitary conditions IN the
workshops especially in the smithies
Eleventh-1mmunity from punishment for
strikers.
Tweiffh-The average rate of pay during
the strike.
1t is reported that the Social Demo-
crat faction did not show great
strength at the meetings tonight and
the anti Radicals are greatly encour-
aged at the apparent determination of
the majority of the strikers to confine
their contest ito trade issues.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t lis
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
Wiliow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form OF large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use but on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits Of charcoal. says: "I ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels. and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat: also believe the liver is
f.. greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but 25 cents a box at
drug stores, and although in some sense
a patent preparation, yet I believe i
get more and better charcoal in Stuart s
Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"

sions to her complexion, which was

tions was added the mimicking of her

TWO VESSELS
PRIZES OF War
japanese Cruisers Bring In
British Steamship and An
other Unnamed Craft
CONTRABAND ON BOARI
Forty-Eight Ships Now on
High Seas With Cargoes
for Belligerent Ports

TOXIC, Jan. 18.-Japanese cruisers
captured the British steamship Bawtry
in Tsu Straits yesterday morning. The
vessel was carrying provisions, ship
building materials, ETC., from Kiao-
chau, the German port on the Shan
tung Peninsula, to Vladivostok. She
was taken to Sasebo.
The capture of another steamship Is
reported, but no details have been re-
ceived.
LONDON, Jan. 1s.-Much bsuiness
was done at Lloyd's to-day on vessels
bound for the Far East with cargoes
consigned to belligerent ports. Forty
eight steamships are now on their way
to the extreme Orient, a number of
which going to Vladivostok were re-
insured at so guineas per cent. The
British steamships Powderham and
Oakley both of which sailed from
Barry, the former on November IL and
the latter on January 1, whose owners
have already lost vessels by capture,
were reinsured at rs guineas per cent
each.
Another transaction v hich was re-
garded as significant was the issuance
of sixteen Hamburg Line
vessels covering war risks only for the
voyage from a port in the United
Kingdom'to port not east Of Colom-
bo, Ceylon, and return and at an ex-
ceedingly low premium. It is under
stood that each vessel will carry coal.
The transaction created much talk on
the floor Of Lloyd's, where 1t was con-
f1dently believed that the Hamburg
American vessels will act as feeders
for Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron
in the event of it being ordered to re-
turn to European waters.
SHANGHAI, Jan. 18.-The British
steamship Powderham, which sailed
from Barry, England, on November IL
for Vladivostok, has entered the port
Of Wusung, her crew refusing to pro-
ceed to Vladivostok for fear OF cap
ture by the Japanese.

ESSEN SITUATION GRAVE.

ESSEN Germany, Jan. 1S.-The sit
uation in the coal mining districts is
becoming more serious daily. The num-
ber of strikers officially reported now
reaches 1S5,G00. which Is more than
double the number who quit work In
Germany's great strike in 1889. The
negotiations of the Government Com
missioners thus far promise nothing
favorable, although the number of
commissioners was increased to-day by
three arrivals from Berlin.
To-dayS conference at Dortmund
with representatives of the Mine Own
ers' Association lasted until 1 o'clock.
1t had been hoped that the conference
would lead to settlement of the strike.
but these hopes have been completely
dashed, since the representatives of the
ne-Owners' Association refused even
to take part in the joint conference
with delegates from the Mine Opera
tiveS' Union, which had been planned
for tomorrow.
Provincial President Hasse. who at
tended the conference, returned to-
night to Coblentz and intimated that
the Government authorities regard the
situation as serious.
Everything now indicates that the
strike will be long and bitter one.
The question Is, how long the miners
can hold out. Next week they will re-
cefve the pay Tor work done In De-
| cember and part of January. This.
with contributions coming in. 1t is
thought, will be sufficient for five weeks
at least. Government officials are be-
ginning to admit that the strike will
last long time, and are taking meas
ures accordingly to prevent outbreaks.
In some towns the police have ordered
that saloons be closed at an early hour.

Mr.. Stork attempted to remove a soup
