 NEWARK, N. J.. Jan. 3.-With a deep gash on the right side of his head, evidently inflicted with a blunt weap- on. the body of Leonard NJ. Vaudeville, a young man living in Woodside. a fashionable section of this city and employed as a clerk in the main ofhce of the Western Union Telegraph com pany in New York. has been found half submerged in a ditch of muddy water near the Jackson street crossing of the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
 Seven men and a woman, all Polaks, who are suspected of having some knowledge of how young Vaudeville came by his death have been arrested and are detained at police headquar- ters pending an investigation.
 The police found that Vaudeville left home to visit friend in kearney but, finding his friend away. left there and his movements since leaving Rear ney have not been traced.
 County Physician William NJ. Me Kenzie, who examined the body, de f clared that the wound was not an acci dental one. but had been inflicted by some blunt instrument. and that th' man was probably murdered.

Trees as Wireless Poles.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8. - Major George o. Squier of the signal corps, United States army, has by series of experiments determined that living veg etable organisms may be used as part of circuit for electrical oscillations. or Hertzian waves, which in turn sug- gests the possibility of using living trees as substitutes for masts and tow CTS in the operation of wireless telegra- phy. It is only necessary, according to Major Squier. to drive two ordinary iron nails into the tree, one near it's base and the other where the main branches of the tree divert from the trunk. and to connect the receiving ap- paratus between the two nails.

WILL PEACE RESULT?
Washington Diplomats Hope
 to End War.
DOVE OF PEACE FROM ROOSEVELT.
Fall of Port Arthur offers Oppor- tunity For Intervention In Far - EaAt-Peace or War De-
 bends on Russia.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. - In diplo- matic circles, where there is every req son to believe there is the best infor- nation regarding the plans of the Jap anese, it was openly stated last night that the fall of Port Arthur will be promptly followed by an offer of peace from Japan. It is understood that strong effort will be made to have the offer come through President Roose welt.
 It is even suggested that the terms might include an arrangement which would give Russia an outlet to the h. dian ocean through the Persian gulf. There is, however, some doubt as to whether an effort to induce President Roosevelt to move in the matter would l be likely to succeed.
 It certainly is regarded as unlikely that such suggestion should come through the United States unless the president has the strongest previous intimation that it would be favorably , considered by the Russian government. It may be added that while it is known that Emperor Nicholas from the be- ginning regarded the war with great abhorrence there is nothing yet to indi- cate that his government intends to re- cede from the programme of fighting to a finish. which has repeatedly been announced.
 Peace or war will entirely depend upon Russia and not upon the Japa- nese. The fall of Port Arthur may strengthen the determination of Rus sia to continue the war at all costs. Its effect on Japan, however, cannot be doubted. Her fleet is free. and the release of the besieging army gives her increased forces available for service elsewhere, but she has a strong desire for peace.
 It is not improbable that Japan vii use the United States as an interme diary with Russia. The United States , is acting as the representative of Japa , nese interests at St Petersburg, ant France is acting as Russians represent ative at Tokyo.
 President Roosevelt is anxious to d' ? all In his power to end the war. bu feelers for peace hitherto put out b. . him have met with uncompromisinl l. refusal from Russia. and there is small
 chance of their being repeated. Th - United States, of course. will convey t - Russia any proposition Japan may de l. sire to make. That Japan would pro y pose any terms in the first flush of sue e cess that Russia would agree to is yer ,- doubtful

Letter From Famous Russian Asks Freedom For the Common People

Letter From Famous Russian Asks
 Freedom For the Common People,
 LONDON. Jan. 3.-Count Leo Tolstoi wrote letter to the Emperor Nicholas some three years ago, when he believed himself to be dying, which has just been made public. The letter. which deals with the internal conditions of Russia. commences Dear Brother, and refers 10 the universal dissatisfac- tion at that time manifested toward the government. It suggests number of reforms. some of which have been recently granted, while others are ex- pected as the outcome of the more hD- eral policy of Russia. Count Ioistol planes the emperors advisors, whose strenuous and cruel activity is arrest ing the eternal progress of mankind. He says the entire country joins with him in condemning the autocratic gov ernment, which may answer the de- mands of a people somewhere in cen tral Africa, but not the demands of the Russian people, who are becoming more
 
 enlightened by the enlightenment com mon to the whole world" Count Tol' stoi sets forth the desires of the Rus sian people as:
 "First-The working people desire te be delivered from special laws whicl place them in the position of pariah deprived of all the rights of other citi zens.
 "Second.-They desire freedom of re moval from place to place, freedom o' education. freedom of conscience and above all, freedom in the use of land.'
 In conclusion Count Tolstoi urges thu emperor to consider his duty to God whose will is that good and not evi should be done unto men.
