UNJUST TO RUSSIA.
French Press Comments on ROjest-
Uensky'S EGpuISiOn.

Paris April 23-Some of the newspapers OF
Paris, commenting upon the expulsion of the
Russian second Pacific squadron from French
territory waters in Indo-China. hold that
France, in seeking to render exact justice to
Japan. has been unjust to Russia. The Echo
de Paris" which is strongly pro-Russian, says
that Frances insistence upon Rojestvensky
leaving Kamranh Bay viii have the effect of
making him an easy prey TO Togo, the Rus
sian ships being driven from all points with
ont being able to take on coal, mus put TO sea
with half filed bunkerz, being thus crippled at
the moment of meeting the enemy. And this
is neutrality" scornfully observes the Echo de
Paris" The same paper quotes the French reg
ulations authorizing beIligerents TO take on suc-
fcient coal to reach the next port, and main
tains that the next port" is Vladivostok.
Therefore. the Echo de Paris" asserts. France
has not given her ally's squadron the benefit Of
French neutrality laws.
The Temps criticises the Saigon report that
Russian merchant vessels have been forbidden
10 take o:l the nee essary coal TO enable them to
reach the nearest Russian port The paper
maintains that the ships have the right TO take
on sufficient coal 10 last them 10 Nladivostol
which is the nearest Russian port. The
Temps" adds
Insular powers having many coaIing stations
have an interest in making neutrality rules ex-
tremely strict in order 10 prevent their adVer-
saries from procuring coal through neutraIs
while they enjoy full supplies from their own
coaling stations On the contrary, Continental
powers, namely, France, Russia and Germany
having comparatively few coaling stations
would be easily throttled iE a conflict with an
insular power having many cOaling stations ia
case this rigid rule oe neutrality becomes ac-
cepted by precedence

the officials OF the Lehgh Portland Cement
Company. at whose quarry at Ormrod
landslide occurred yesterday, burying
a large number Of men under a mass OF
thousands OF tons OF solid rock, declare
that all the men except one have been ac-
counted for and that the list Of casualties
will not aggregate moro than twelve dead
and five injured, many insist that fully
a half dozen more victims are entombed
under the debris. They insist that between
twenty-five and thirty men were at work
that more bodies are under the huge bank
OF rock and earth. Up to tonight the only
man missing. according to the figures OF the

Coroner Scheirer completed his inquest
this afternoon and the haste with which
the investigation was conducted has called
forth considerable criticism. Only few
witnesses including Foremen Berger and
Arthur and Mike Boliska, the water boy,
who gave the alarm. were heard, and after
brief deliberation the jury rendered q YER
dict that the men came to their death
in landslide caused by the rain looeening
the rock, that the accident was unavoidable
and generating the company from all
blame. General Manager Matcham de-
clares that the slide moved very slowly
and that the men had ample time to get out
OF the way.
The funerals Of the victims will be held
in most cases on Saturday. The five In
jured men at the local hospital are IN
dangerous condition and two or three OF
them may die.

POLICE MAY PICKET.
Judge Krlise Refuses InJunctions In Two
Alleged PoOiroOm Cases.


A lawyer applied yesterday In the su-
preme Court In Brooklyn for an order to
prevent Capt. James j. Murtha from po-
Icing Charles Gutberger's establishment
at 24l Bowery. Manhattan. Capt. Murtha
thinks there Is poolroom in the place.
Gutberger, who lives at 1877 Broadway,
Williamsburg. says that he Is engaged In the
theatrical goods business at the Bowery
address. Murtha and his cops, he said,
lined his hallway and by loud talk and
insinuations scared away vaudeville artists
who called to buy costumes. Some patrons
were held up and addressed by the cops,
who said: They sell only green goods
up there"
facetious affidavit by Jake Ellis. re-
puted to be manager Of the Merry Maiden
Burlesquers. was presented. Ellis swore
that he went to the place July q to buy, as
he put 1t, "abbre waited costumes for the
female members Of his company" When
no told Capt. Murtha his mission the cap
tain said: III you 60 there too often you
won't have money enough to buy handler
chiefs, much less abbreviated garments
for your troupe"
rne captain admitted all these things
but said he had good reason to believe the
place was supplied with "a choice array Of
gambling paraphernnlia."
Justice KrlIsa denied the application.
The injunction sought by ia mes Kennedy
of POS Sumpter street. Brooklyn. was also
denied. He alleged that he was in the
ladies' underwear business at 81 East Eighth
street, Manhattan. Acting Captain Bourke
Of the Mercer street station be said, had
polioed the stairways for twenty days on
the pretext that he had poolroom. The
presence Of policemen alarmed women in
search Of goods. Further, Kennedy stated
that Bourke and his phalanx Of strong
arm men used crowbars. axes and ham
mers in entering his emporium on July TO-
demolishing his office. he thou ght he was
entitled to an injunction against the cops
and q, 600 damages.
In his answer the defendant said there
were fifteen men In the underwear factory
and his information led him to believe
they were there to bet on the races. He
thought he was justified in treating tho
place az poolroom. Justice Kruse said
he couldn't see what fifteen men were doing
in an underwear establishment. He denied
the injunction and the request for damages.
