 we are in position to assert that there is no truth in the announcement issued by the Toisio foreign office con corning Rejestvensky's fleet. The French governor general tof Indo- China) addressed no request to the Rus sian governments nor was any demand made upon Rojestyensky to leave terri- torial waters, as he doubtless most punctiIiously observed all the rules of neutrality"

Winston Salem. N. e, April 24.-- Booker T. Washington spoke here to- might in the Elks' auditorium to about 800 people, perhaps 300 of whom were of the best white citizens of the place, while the remainder were negroes. Dr. Washington urged the negroes to improve their opportunities, telling them if they did not they would see
 their places usurped by others, as has been the case with the barbers in many Iof the large towns Germans and
 French, he said, were taking the places of. the negro barbers, because they were cleaner and did better work.
 The race problem, he said, had never been solved, despite all the plans to that end He urged his hearers to draw the line against the bad negro, So that the white people would judge the negro from another standard than from the
 worst element.

ITO FORCE EQUITABLE
 INTO RECEIVERSHIp
PROCEEDINGS INsTIrUTED IN
 NEW FORK.
Brought by Maryland Policy Hoider- Wishes Surplus Protected-peclare. society's omciaI. Have Dizregardea
 Their Trust-Two Other Phase. of

the Controversy.
 New York, April 24.-Receivership pro- ceedings were to-day instituted against the Equitable Life Assurance society by J. Wilcox Brown of Maryland, q policyholder. In the United States cir- cult court here he filed an action against the society asking for the ap-
 pointment of q receiver of the surplus fund; an accounting for the benefit of himself and other policy-holders that may join with him in the proceedings, and an injunction to prevent the soci- ety holding the surplus Brown alleges
 that the society's officials have disre- garded their trust, and have not paid
 his proper proportion of the net surplus.
 His counsel have issued a Statement saying that the huge surplus of the: society is not legally retained from the: policy holders, nor lawlfully used by the
 society, and that the profits due the policy -holders, except the seven per cent dividends, is now attempted to h8' swept aside by the stockholders claims
 The papers filed aver that the personal interests of the Equitable's officers in other corporations and syndicates with which the Equitable does business are
 Q public scandal.
 Two other phases of the Equitable cons
 troversy were in court to-day. Justice. Mclean, in the supreme court, reserved decision in the case of Herbert G. Tull. policy-holder, who applied for an in- junction restraining the society's offi- cers from taking any further proceea- ings to obtain an amended charter for the society. MT. Tull's counsel attack ed the proposed charter as "a blind, ' which really gave the stockholders noth- ing. Counsel for Vice President HydaI of the society and Franklin B. Lord. a policy-holder, appeared before Justiee Maddox in the supreme court at Brook lyn to oppose a petition by President Alexander to strike out certain refer- Eences to Mir Alexander from the peti- tion in which MT. Hyde intervened in Lords injunction proceedings against the proposed naturalization plan There was no hearing, however, as the court had not yet received the Alexander pe- tition. MT. Alexander's objections ara directed against statements that he had been hostile to his trust and that the proposed naturalization plan was pass Jed by the directors regardless of the majority of t1he stockholders, and in4 spired solely by his instructions.

THIRD PATTERSON TRIAL
BEGAN IN EARNEST YESTERDAY
 BEFORE RECORDER GoEF.
Young Actress on Verge of Collapse Became, Faint at Close of Morning Session Nccessitating Hurried Ad- journsnent Of the court-smiths Present for Time.

New York, April 24.-The third trial of Nan Patterson, the actress accused of the murder of Caesar Young, the wealthy bookmaHer, began in earnest to-day before Recorder Golf in the court of general sessions. Confident and almost smiling in the previous or deals, the former show girl to-day was on the verge of collapse. She became faint at the close of the morning ses- sion necessitating hurried adjourn ment of the court, but had revived con siderabIy when the afternoon session began. The feature of the days pro- eeedings was the opening address of Assistant District Attorney Rand, in which he outlined what the prosecu- ton intended to prove He declared that the prosecution would prove that the revolver that killed Young was bought by J. Morgan Smith, the broth- er-in-law of Nan Patterson. MT. Rand announced that he would prove by sworn evidence that during the year Young maintained Nan Patterson he spent $50,000 on her; that Nan Patter- son and the Smiths entered into the all legged conspiracy to prevent Young from leaving this country and to avoid cutting off their enjoyment of his money. Young, he contended, acted as one marked for slaughter from the time he received the alleged threaten ing letter. in which it is stated, Julia Smith, Nan's sister, wrote Young "Un- less you do see Nan, I cannot answer for the eonsecuences. MT. Rand said that the prisoners character would have an important bearing in showing the motive for the crime.
 The witnesses of the day were Joseph Ireland, a draughtsman who identified
 sketches made of the scene of the ' shooting and the drawings of the cab in which Young was slain, and Police man Junior. who narrated the events i immediately after the shooting when 1 he Jumped into the cab and had the
 driver hurry to a hospital Wardnan
 Edward J. Quinn, who took Miss Pat
 terson from the hospital to the police
 station. and Harold L. Cole, a photog-
 rapher, who identified pictures of the scene of the tragedy.
 The Smiths were present during part
 of the proceedings. The petition filed
 by their counsel to compel District At
 torney to give up letters taken from them when they were arrested in Gin- ! cinnati was denied to-day by Justice
 Gaynor in the New York supreme
 court. The court held:
 ''The police have the power, and it is, ' also their duty to search the person of
 one lawfully arrested. and also the
 room or place in which he is arrested,
 and also any other place to which they
 can get lawful, access, for articles that may be used In evidence to prove the
 charge on which he is arrested We
 have no statute defining this power or
 prescribing this duty, but the ends of Justice require they should exist and they have been exercised under the common law from time inmemoriaL 7
