By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Feb. 2.-Continuance of the
cross-examination of the Russian Off
national commission developed consid-
erable feeling and several sharp ex-
changes of remarks. Captain Clado
particularly criticised the hostile atti-
tude of the British press. He said Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky had written a
private letter condemning the British
press, using one phrase which Captain
Clado said he considered necessary to
withhold.
Baron Taube, the Russian judicial
adviser remarked that it was doubt
less some strong seafaring expression.
Captain Clado replied: 81 will not say
the phrase was strong, but it was
bitter" All this matter was subse-
quently stricken from the report as
non essential.
Captain Clado referred to alleged
misstatements that Russian torpedo
boats remained upon the scene without
rendering aid to the trawlers. He de-
clared that no such torpedo boats re-
mained
Hugh O'Beorne, first secretary of the
British embassy in Paris and agent of
Great Britain, said he had heretofore
refrained from asking a delicate ques-
tion, namely, why none Of the Russian
ships remained to give assistance after
knowing that peaceful fishing boats
had been struck.
Captain Clado answered that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky had fully explained
that he did not consider the injuries to
the fishing boats were serious, and, the
squadron having just escaped from. an
attack by torpedo boats, it was de-
sirable to withdraw the squadron as
soon as possible from the vicinity of
such attacks.
Admiral Beaumont (Great Britain)
closely questioned the witness as to
who gave the order to fire, Captain
Clado saying it was Admiral Rojest-
Vensky.
Counsel for Great Britain introduced
Commander Keane, former chief of a
torpedo division and leading torpedo
expert of the British navy. He as
serted positively that mistakes were
frequently made between torpedo and
other boats, mainly because search
lights confused calculations of distance.

sick bed, where he was confined from
the results of the wounds encountered
from the knives of the desperate con-
victs who attempted to make a break
for liberty, Capt. r. ]. Murphy has
been dismissed. 1t is claimed that the
dismissal came from an article printed

the article to Captain Murphy. The

CAR MAKES FLYING LEAP
Motorman Averts Wreck by Turning
on Full Power

A wreck on the Glendale Electric
line was averted yesterday morning
by the presence of mind of Motorman
S. Marker who sent the car under his
control at full speed across a stretch
of track which had been left practi-
cally unsupported by a washout re-
sulting from the recent rains.
The car which had this narrow escape
was on the first trip out and carried
only few passengers. Marker did
not see the danger until it was too
late to stop and turning on full power
he forced the car to hurdle the weak
spot. Traffic was suspended on this
part of the line which is near the Glen
dale terminus, for the rest of the day.

VIDA ADMITS
THE ASSAULT
He Gives Ills Side of
the Townsend
Story.

Henry Vida tells the story of his as
sault on Edward Townsend, the sickly,
understood young fellow whom Vida
had seen talking to Supervisor Adams,
as follows. The story appears in the
Star:
Edward Townsend, who formerly
acted as an interpreter and special of
ficer for the police, claims that on Sat
urday Assistant Sheriff Henry Vida
asked him to go to the police station
and while there Vida assaulted him by
hitting him with his fist and follow
ing up the attack with a number of
blows.
The statement made by Townsend
regarding my having attacked him
with my fists is untrue said Vida
this morning. Il had heard that
Townsend was making the statement
around to number of people, including
S. Ano Japanese newspaper man.
that he, Townsend, proposed to fix up
a job on myself and Sheriff Brown and
would get even because he had been
discharged from the force. So far as
Townsend having talked with Super
visor Adams is concerned, it made no
difference whatever if he did or not.
I was simply concerned about the
statements that Townsend had been
making about putting up job. I
asked him if that had been true and he
admitted that it was, but pleaded that
he would not do it again. The man
had been let out of the force on ac-
count of an alleged shady transaction
on his part and he evidently desires
to get even. 1 slapped him four or
five times with my hand, but so far as
striking him with my fist, that state
ment by him is absolutely wrong"
Officer Joe Dias was present dur
ing the row and ne corroborated the
statements of Vida.

assault.
He thought that Officer Vida should
be suspended for thirty days as an ex-

take such action. He did not think
such actions should be allowed to take

almost inclined whenever [ have COM

do so only in the presence of a stem

I am too busily engaged with other
matters to enter into a discus

to do so as to what we tentatively
agreed to do in the matter of the

that your statement is absolutely in
