Battle Formation Broken

"The japanese had broken our battle
formation and were closing in, concen-
trating their fire on our fighting tops,
Of whose crews hardly one escaped.
Fire had now broken out in several
places, adding horror of our situation,
and it was decided to withdraw from
the firing line for the purpose of re-
pairing our steering gear. But we were
surrounded by eight Japanese ships
and bombarded on every side. We still
fought desperately with our after 12-
inch guns, with what was left of our
smaller guns and with about half our
complement of men.
"The Borodino sank lower and lower.
Toward evening, after we had lost 400
men, we noticed two Japanese de-
stroyers coming toward us. We sank
one with a well-directed shell. The
other launched a torpedo which missed
us. All the men in the engine rooms
were driven on deck by the flames.
Finally a Japanese torpedo fotilla bore
down upon us and an explosion caused
the Borodino to turn turtle. I, with
forty others, was rescued from the sea
by the Japanese armored cruiser
Kasuga and was transferred to the
shore"

Signal Received In Portland Wnich
Starts Machinery of Exposition
BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, June with the
gentle touch of hand upon golden
telegraph instrument President Roose-
Welt from the White House today gave
the signal which formally opened to the
world the Lewis and Clark Centennial
exposition, a monument to the memories
of Capts. Merriweather Lewis and WILL
lam Clark, the pioneers who one hun
dred years ago blazed the trail which
opened up to the world the "old oregon
country"
The literary exercises which preceded
the formal opening were of an enthusi-
astic nature. Never in the history of
the Pacific northwest have it's people
been privileged to hear in a few short
hours such eminent speakers as Vice
President Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon
of the house of representatives., Senator
Clark of Wyoming, Congressman Taw-
ney of Minnesota, II. A. Taylor, assist
ant secretary Of the treasury Governor
Chamberlain of oregon and Mayor
Williams of Portland.
When President Goode of the Lewis
and Clark exposition took his position
on the speakers stand to announce that
the ceremonies were about to COM
mence he was greeted with terrific APP
plause from tens of thousands of peo-
pie who had assembled within seeing
distance of the speakers stand, and
similar demonstrations greeted all the
speakers of the day, perhaps the great
est enthusiasm being aroused by the
appearance of Mayor Williams and of
Speaker Cannon upon the rostrum.
Chimes Fail to Ring
The program was carried out with
but few changes in the original idea. A
feature which was looked forward to
with great expectancy, the playing of
America" upon the Ginning bells in
the government building was unavoid-
ably omitted, the electrical apparatus
by which the chimes are operated be-
ing found out of order at the critical
moment.
When all was in readiness for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to give the long awaited
signal from the White House President
Goode of the exposition forwarded him
the following telegram:
president Goode of the Lewis and
Clark centennial exposition extends
greetings to the president of the Unit
ed States, and has the honor to an
nounce that the exposition management
awaits President Roosevelt's pleasure
in transmitting the electrical energy to
ring the chimes in the United States
government building and start the ma
chinery of this exposition
Almost instantly, through thousands
of miles of wire, flashed the single
'click" which formally opened the ex-
position, releasing hundreds of flags to
the breeze and setting the ponderous
machinery in motion. Almost by in
tuition the great throng knew that the |
exposition was opened, and one wild
cheer after another echoed among the
immense buildings surrounding the
sunken gardens, at the head of which

HASN'T REFUSED TO PAY
Aetna Company's Agent Explains
Delay of Payment of Morris
SOmmer's Policy.
To The Salt Lake Herald:

10 Inc salt Lake Herald:
Under your issue of Wednesday, Feb.
j., 1905, we notice the following para
graph of news conspicuOusly dis
played:
fridge o. w Powers, the attorney, and
A }. Davis, the administrator, for the
the result of fall in his Park City mine
last November, are having trouble in col
AT the time of his death Mr. Sommer was
carrying 5000 in life insurance and the
same amount of accident insurance. The
WOodmen of the World have paid their
policy of 5000 The Bankers Life of
the ground it is understood, that Mr.
Sommer did not state in his application
for insurance that there was imper-
lection in his feet. This policy was taken
out - short time before Mr.. Sommers
death. The accident policy of 5000 is in
the Aetna company. The grounds of con-
Mr.. Sommer died as the result of heart
disease, and not as the result of his tan
i'm the mine.
While it is very distasteful for us
to engage in a controversy, especially
through a newspaper, yet there are
times when business interests demand
d public denial of miSstatements,
whether they are published through err
ror or otherwise.
Now, in so far as the above article
relates to the Aetna Life Insurance
company of Hartforn, Conn.,, and the
reasons given for not settling its &C
cident policy for $500 issued TO Mr..
Morris Sommer. who, it is alleged, was
killed at Park City last November,
this company has not refused the pay
ment of said claim nor has it given
any reason why such claim should not
be paid.
Immediately, or within n very few
days, from the time the certificate of
death of Mr.. SOmmer had been filed
in this agency, Mrs. Sommer, the bene-
ficiary, was paid the burial benefit of
5000 provided for under said policy.
Considerable time thereafter elapsed
before the usual papers, consisting of
proof Of death and claim for the pTinci-
pal sum of insurance-$5,0 O0-were
completed, but upon ~their completion
they were Immediately transmitted to
the home office of the company This
company, as do all others, reserves
a period of ninety days after proofs
of claim have been filed in which to
investigate such claim. However, this
claim was promptly considered by the
company and turned over to the ad-
ulster who started for this city sew
eral weeks ago. but, owing to his ILL
ness while en- route, an enforced delay
has occurred.
We have been informed several times
since the unfortunate death of Mr.,
Sommer of current statements to the
effect that our company would not
pay this claim, but as such reports
we're always traceable TO small calibTe
agents of competing companies, who
are not endowed with sufficient quail
fications to secure business in any
other way than by traducing their
councillors, we did not consider it
worth our while TO take notice of such
statements, and it is possible that this
is your source of information.
