our sheriff tells US that he has had
as MANY as 80 men al one time. Inc
women's department which IS UP
stairs. consists of five cells. ana IN
that part we found. as occupants, TWO
women and three men, We found the
iail fairly clean, but the atmosphere:
especially in the mems part, was foui
and nauseating. =.
In this l5-cell Jail as many as 90
prisoners have been confined at one
time There is no convenience for the
sick who. with those young in the
school of crime. or those charged with
minor offenses. and those arrested up
on civil process. are herded with the
hardened and vicious.
"The iail is so arranged that the
sheriff and his family cannot escape
from all the vile conversation and
noises peculiar TO such an institution
Some Of US have read how prisoners
are treated in Russia and Siberia. but
we think that sympathy for mlsuseu
prisoners may well begin al nome
right in Chittenden county. Vermont
We cannot find words severe enough

their two male companions had a re-

when the automobile of Frederick \.
Marshall of st. Louis, which had been

in which were seated Miss Cora Mi

two of the chauffeur's friends, was de-
and the girls were so tangled
in the wreckage that it took half an
hour to extricate them. The male com
panion of the chauffeur was thrown
out, but the chauffeur was unhurt.
Nearly all the occupants of the street
car were thrown to the floor and the
conductor was injured.

AN INSPIRED
STATEMENT
The Novos vremya Prints Today
Statement of the Position
OF Russia.
THE MORAL SUPPORT
OF Paris, Washington, Berlin and Even
London Will Be Given in Endesvor
to Make Jap Terms Reasonable.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE Novoe
Vremya to-day prints the following
statement of Russia's position, which
may be inspired: Russia can consent
only to such peace as will not affect
the dignity or the vigilance of the EN-
pire. To act otherwise would be fatal
to Russia and would threaten Europe.
Europe no longer believes Japan's
statement that she will not restrict
European interests in the far east
Even in England and America the
voices of the moral instigators can be
heard in favor of an indirect influence
of the powers to moderate Japanese
demands. Our plenipotentiaries must
remember that they must defend the
interests not only of Russia, but also
of the other Caucasian powers, and
will find moral support in Berlin, Paris,
Washington and perhaps even in Lon
don. Our army in the field is much
stronger than it was fifteen months
ago. The Hamburger Nachrichten pro
poses that Europe intimate to Japan
that any extreme demands will be re-
sisted by Europe, especially Germany.
This Is valuable statement. We must
ascertain the acceptable maximum of
our concessions to Japan from the Eu-
ropean point of view and act accord.

officers with extradition papers, who
are expected during the week.
The case, which is one of the most
brutal murders in recent criminal an
nails, has puzzled the Massachusetts
authorities, who had traced the mur
derer to Chicago, where the trail was
lost. They had almost lost hope of
his capture when it was learned in
Chicago Friday night that he had
bought ticket for the Pacific coast.
The man was finally traced to the
Santa Fe ticket Office, where it was
found he had purchased ticket to
Los Angeles and Pullman accommoda-
tions. The officers wired Schidlof-
ska's description to the Pullman con-
ductor, who was able to identify him
at once. The result was the arrest of
the fugitive here last night.
Schidlofska says that he was driven
to the murder of his wife by her
taunts and their frequent domestic
troubles. On the night of tiIe murder
both had been drinking, and had at
tended a party On their way home he
seized her suddenly and cut her throat
with a pen-knife, throwing her body
into a gully. The body was not found
until the following day, when Schid.
lofska had made his escape.
