ROJESTVENSKY IS
 BROKEN IN SPIRIT
Expresses Pleasure at Treatment Ac. corded Him By Japan and Says
 His Wounds Will Heal Soon.

London, June 13.-The Moji, Japan, cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph cables an account of his visit to Vice Admiral Rojestvensky.
 The Admiral, speaking in broken Eng. fish, expressed his pleasure at the treat men accorded him by the Japanese and praised the quarters assigned him. He occupies private room which is we'll ventilated, and gives the admira, view of the beautiful landscape. Roiestvensky said to the correspondent: 'I have everything I desire. My wounds are healing but my left leg is troublesome and 1t will be some time before I am able to move about. In thirty days perhaps l shall be well again.
 Asked for his views of the naval bat tie the Admiral merely replied:
 "The Japanese fleet was so good, 1t was impossible" then he completely broke down. Evidently his mental sufferings were acute, for he desired to avoid the subject and during the remainder of the conversation the naval battle was not mentioned.
 By day" said the Admiral, 'T look into that lovely scene, and by night I dream of it."

GREC|AN PREMIER
 FATALLY STABBED
Gambler PIungas Dagger Into
 the Statesman
WAS AN ACT OF REVENGE
Assassin Says He Did It Because of the Stringent Measures Against Gambling Houses Taken
 By Premier.

Athens, June 13.-Theodore P. Delyan- mis- the popular premier of Greece, was stabbed and mortally wounded by a pro fessional gambler named Gherakaris at the main entrance of the chamber of deputies at p. m. today The Premier died within three hours His assassin, who was immediately arrested, said he committed the deed in revenge for the stringent measures taken by Premier Delyannis against the gambling houses, all of which recently were closed.
 The Premier arrived at the entrance of the chamber in a carriage. Gherakaris approached, saluted the Premier and opened the carriage door, The Premier was in the act of thanking Gherakaris for his courtesy when the gambler plunged long dagger into M. Delayan- his abdomen infiicting a fright wound.
 The murderer was immediately over powered by the attendants. Medical as- sistance was quickly secured and the wounded statesman was taken to Red Cross station where an operation was performed in an effort to stop the inter- nal hemorrhage. This was unsuccessful and Delyannis died at 7:9O o'clock.
 The news spread quickly and 1t would be impossible to describe the popular evil dences of sorrow or the anger of the crowd who attempted to lynch the as- sassin. Lynching was presented by the gendarmes who rushed their prisoner from the building to prison.
 It is estimated that 10000 persons wit messed the removal of the body of the Premier from the Red Cross station to his late residence. Members of the cabi- net and of the chamber of deputies were among the crowd, many of them weep ing.
 The cabinet met this evening at the res- idence of the president of the chamber and it was decided that the body should lie in state in the chamber before inter- ment
 King George, who is at Tatoi, was in- formed of the assassination and announce ed that he would return to Athens.
 Investigation by the police shows that Gherakaris was recently liberated from prison. having been sentenced to eigh- teen years for the murder of his wife.
 M. Gourarakis, minister of finance, has been appointed premier provisionally. The funeral of M. Delyannis. which will be national will take place next Friday.

GIBBONS DOWN ON
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Woman is Queen of the Do-
 nestle Household
AND SHE OUGHT TO BE
She Cannot and Should Not Vote, But Sh Gan Make Mar Vote
 to Please
 Her.

New Orleans, June 13.-The Picayune's Baltimore special says:
 Cardinal Gibbons delivered an address today at the commencement exercises at Mount St. Agnes college. one of the most exclusive female seminaries in this sec ton, during which he made an attack on woman's suffrage.
 Among other things. he said:
 'Woman today Is the peer of her hus- band not the slave of his caprice and she is as she ought to be, the queen of the domestic household. She owes her position to the Catholic church, for 1t is by that church that she has been emancipated and proclaimed the equal of her consort.
 But because you are equal in quality it does not mean that you should have the same functions to perform. Some women are not satisfied with their own power; they want to invade the mans privileges and they want to vote. l trust they will never get the authority to do that for when woman minges with the political life she loses her freshness. You cannot vote but you can make your men vote 10 please you, and you can- not preach Some of these new women get angry with St. Paul and call him an old fogy and old bachelor but he was right. You can preach in your own home, for the best teacher is the good, pious, Christian mother"

Washington, June 13-(Special. )-The Postmaster General today directed the postmasters at Birmingham, Montgomery, Atlanta and several other cities to de- cline to deliver mail addressed to the Peoples Home Purchasing company or J. B. Bordeaux or any of the agents of said company According to the post office inspector the business of the com pany consists in the sale of contracts and is not being conducted in good faith.

Those allowed this privilege were to be selected by a board of direc- tors The company figured that at the end of seven years by the time the con tract holder had deposited $40 he would ordinarily get his $10O0 The postoffice department couldn't see 1t that way.

GRAVE CHARGES ARE
 MADE IN CHICAGO
STRIKE sYMPATHlzER IS FATAL " SHOT BY A NEGRO POLICE MAN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INTERFERE WITH TRAFFIC.

Chicago, June 13.-The teamsters' strike has almost been lost sight of, the atten- tion of both sides of the controversy be- ing occupied with the charges of the other in connection with labor unions in Chicago. Within the next twenty-four hours, it was learned tonight, a history of the secret transactions of labor unions In Chicago for the past four years would be made public, and that information would implicate many leaders who, 1t is asserted, have accepted bribes to call off strikes. The man who is expected to give this information is John c. Driscoll, former secretary of the Coal Team Own CTS assecistioa, who iaas beeii the inter- mediary between the Employers and the Teamsters' unions in this city for the past four years.
 Tomorrow Manager Driscoll says he will appear before the grand jury with documentary evidence showing that sev- eral labor leaders have been receiving large sums of money through Driscoll, which, it is declared by the latter, the employers were forced to pay to prevent their employees being called out on strike. To substantiate his statement Driscoll will offer his bank book chewing the amounts of money used.
 In a riot at Waveland avenue and Janssen street this afternoon Frank Hartman was shot in the stomach and fatally wounded by Policeman Bunk" Jones' negro Jones was guarding a wagon of the Chatfield Lumber com pany and at the corner where the trag- edy occurred the progress of the wagon was impeded by crowd of strike sym pathizers. Singling out Hartman as the leader of the mob, Jones jumped from the wagon and attempted to arrest him. Hartman resisted and was apparently getting the better of Jones when the po- liceman drew a revolver and fired.
 The strike of the lumber wagon drivers is affecting shipments of lumber in Chi cago. According to vessel insurance agents such shipments have fallen off 50 per cent. It Is asserted that this will eventually result in throwing into idle ness large numbers of men employed on lumber craft and on the docks. Many vessels that have been engaged in lumber traffic exclusively are tied up and marine insurance people say 1t is because the dealers do not care to be overstocked 1t was because the marine insurance agents had threatened to raise rates on account of the strike. This is denied by insurance men.
