EUROPE is ANXIOUS.
What Will Come Next in the Russo
Jan WARP

What Will Come Next in the Russo
Jan WARP
Europe still awaits some decisive in
dications as to what will be the imme-
date effect of the fall Of Port Arthur
This indication can come only from
st. Petersburg. 1t is now generally
recognized that Japan's great victory
can make for peace only in case Rus
sia's internal crisis makes peace i'm
perative. Nearly every statesman in
europe is convinced that disruption of
the empire can only be averted by
placing unlimited power in the hands
of really strong man.
1t is expected in st. Petersburg that
the car will order Kuropatkin to take
the offensive Immediately, before Cen
eral Nogi's veterans can join the Jap
anese forces in Manchuria, and at any
expense gain some success to Offset
the loss of Port Arthur upon the Rus
sian people. Such instructions will
place Kuropatkin in most difficult po-
sition. The severity of the winter in
northern Manchuria makes extensive
operations next to impossible,
even with troops with the best equip
ment. It is known that the Russian
army is suffering from deprivation Of
such necessities as boots and over
coats, owing to wholesale robberies of
supplies and battle fought solely for
politician reasons would be with the adj
vantage strongly on the side of the
Japanese.

sETTINA eIRARD, AcTaEss. pEAD
Seven Times Welded, She Lived
Life Of Contrasts.

New York, Jan. 9.-Bettina Girard,
the actress, daughter of General Ord.
way of Washington, d. c., is dead. No.
tice Of her death was given to the
coroner's Office, which began an in
vestigation. The woman was removed
from her apartments on West Forty
first street Saturday, and at the hos
pital the name of Elizabeth Witter
was given.
The cause of death is believed to
have been acute pneumonia. The body,
it is understood, win be taken to
Washington.
When admitted to the hospital she
was in very serious condition. Less
than three weeks ago Bettina Girard
was seen on Broadway. She told her
friends that she never felt better in
her life. Since her return from De-
catur Miss Girard has not been seen
by any of her old friends. She had
been married seven times, and on
various occasions within the past sew
en- years had been patient in the hos
pitfalls of this city, suffering from
troubles due to her mode Of life.
From a convent in Georgetown, in
her early life, she was sent to Mrs.
Burr's finishing school in Washington.
She was musician and linguist,
could ride with the best and excelled
in all outdoor sports.
Career of Contrasts.
The career of Bettina Girard was
one of contrasts. Her life began amid
the refined surroundings of wealthy
and distinguished family in Washing
ton. She was S5 years of age. Soon
after her debut in Washington Arthur
Padelford, a member of wealthy Bal
timore family, met her, and, follow
ing a short wooing, they were mar
ried. They at once went abroad, and
three months later came the report
that in Austria the young husband
had applied for and obtained a di-
vorce. Soon afterward she went on
the stage. The list of husbands Bet
tina Girard had is interesting. They
were: Arthur ]. Padelford, a million
aire; John ]. Rafael, singer; Harri-
son j. Wolfe, an actor; William G.
Beach, an actor; Philip Schuyler, the
well known theatrical agent; Frank
Turner, a vaudeville performer, and
Francis G. Witter, vaudeville per-
former.
Mr.. Witter, her husband, was with
her at her death. BY his direction the
body was sent to Washington for
burial.
Coroner's Physician Weston made
an examination Of her body and de-
cided that the woman had died of
acute pneumonia.
General Ordway died in 1897 in this
city.

was in Buffalo on his way home from
New York, where he had been making
an investigation in connection with
the Chadwick estate. Mr.. Loeser said
he fears the amount of assets of the
estate so far in hand has been grossly
exaggerated, "the property which
have in my possession now, including
the house, real estate and household
effects, ought, if sold, to bring about
100000 There is a real estate mort
gage of $4,000 onthat and a chattel

for the brave Russian general.
Thereupon General Stoessel assured
General Nogi that he admired his rig
orous principles and appreciated his
point Of view. The Japanese comman-
der requested General Stoessel to con-
tinue to occupy his residence at Port
Arthur until arrangements were COM
pleted for the return of himself and
family to Russia. Referring to the bur-
ial of the dead, General Nogi said the
Japanese since the beginning of the

dead. Those found later on would be
inferred at a special spot and suitable
memorial would be erected as a trib-
ute to the bravery of the Japanese for
mer foes.

GENERAL METHODIST CONFERENCE
VIII be Asked to Come to Louisville in
1910.

An invitation will be extend
ed to the General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which meets in Birming-
ham, Ana, in next May, to hold
its next meeting in Louisville.
The invitation will be offered by
the delegates from Kentucky to
the conference, and it is con-
fidently believed that Louisville
will be the successful bidder for
the entertainment Of this organ
ization. The meetings of the
General Conference are held
quadrennially and the next
meeting, therefore, will be held
in 1910. AS this body is the
lawmaking body of the Southern
Methodist Church, its meetings
are always a matter of much
importance. The General Con-
ference is not allowed to take
action on the meeting places of
the body, but a special COM
mittee is always named to select
such places.

MILITARY
In Control at WhitweII, Tenn.
Scene Of an Atrocious
Murder.
GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE
SAYS UNION RESPONSIBLE
Fifty Men Arrested. Including Officers Of
United Mine Workers OF America.

Another case of murder and
silence. The fifty union miners
under military arrest at Whit
well, Tenn. have been very reti-
cent in testifying before the
coroner's jury, several have been
allowed to give bond and it looks
at this distance like the murder
ers who killed the non-union
miner, Clark Robertson, by shoot
ing through his house while he
slept, will never be convicted.
But the dispatches say the mill
tary officers in charge are max.
Ing a genuine effort to find the
guilty parties. The Governor of
Tennessee visited Whitwell after
the murder of Robinson and 9th
er outrages against non-union
miners and their families, before
he needed to send troops there.
After personal Investigation he
told the union miners, in a pub
tic speech, that the union was
responsible for these outrages,
that upon admissions made by
members of the United Mine
Workers. union, he found that
no union mans house had been
fired into, while numerous such
offenses had been committed
against non union men. He said
that this was prima facie evil
dence that union men had perpe-
trated these outrages. Gov. Cox
sent the soldiers TO Whitwell,
AT the close of a meeting OF
union miners one night those at
tending the meeting were made
to fall in line and march around
the hall. The military officers
then picked out those under sus-
picion and caused them to be ar
rested and placed under military
guard. These men were held to
testify at and TO await the action
of the coroner's inquest, which
had adjourned from day to day
since the murder of Robinson,
bat could do nothiag until the
milltia came. Among the men
arrested were the district presi
dent and other officials of the
URited Mine Workers of Ameri.
ca and the number included a
small merchant who appeared to
have received high power rifles
for the union miners, several OF
whlch guns were found on his
premises at the time of his ar
rest.
Efforts are being made to dis
cover at Tracy City, eight miles
from Whitwell, the identity OF
the union men whe are believed
to have visited Whltewell on the
night of the murder and to have
participated in it.
