IN TRACK OF RoJESVENSKY.
Appearance of Togo's Fleet in Southern
Sens.

London, March 16.- The appearance
Of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet in the
track that would be used in any at
tempt by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
to make for Vladivostok is the most
interesting news of the day. 1t is not
known whether Vice Admiral Togo
himself is with the fleet. According to
the Daily Mails correspondent at
Singapore, who visited the feet, the Of
fieers were unusually reticent. Two
Japanese officers landed and conferred
with the Japanese consul, and it was
understood by the correspondent that
the squadron would shortly sail again,
as it required nothing. The presump-
tion here is that Vice Admiral Togo ac-
quired some information concerning
Rojestvensky's intended movements.
So far as known in London Rojest-
vensky's squadron is still off the coast
of Madagascar, but as the ice in the
harbor of Vladivostok is probably be-
ginning to give, the Russian admiral
must soon make a decision whether to
dash for Vladivostok or return to Rus
sia. Naval experts here believe that
Togo will not come much further in
quest of the Baltic squadron, on the
ground that he cannot afford to run
unnecessary risks.

SAY MRS, STANFORD
WAS NOT POISONED
STATEMENT SIGNED BIZ HEADS
OF UNIVERSITY.
President Jordan and Trustee Hopkins
Sign Statement in Honolulu Regard
ing Death of Rich California Woman
Death Due to Combination of
Conditions and circumstances.

Honolulu, March 15-Dr. David Starr
Jordan, president of Stanford universe
ty, and Timothy ]. Hopkins Of the
board of trustees of the university,
have signed joint statement regard
ing the death Of Mrs. Stanford, which
they left with Judge Smith with in
structions to make it public after they
sailed to-day on the Alameda for San
Francisco. The statement follows:
I'm our judgment, after careful con-
sideration 7of all the facts brought to
our knowledge, we are now fully con-
WINGED that the death of Mrs. Stanford
was not due to strychnine poisoning nor
to Intentional wrongdoing on the part
of anyone.
I'VE find in the statements Of those
who were with Mrs. stanford in her
last moments no evidence that any of
the characteristic symptoms of strych-
nine poisoning We're present.
eve think that death was due to
combination Of conditions and circum-
stances. Among these we may note, IN
connection with her advanced age, the
unaccustomed exertion, the surfeit OF
unsuitable food, and the unusual ex-
posure during the picnic to which she
went on the day of her death.
aThe conditions were somewhat ag-
gravated by the presence Of strychnine
and other drugs in the medicinal cap
sule and possibly also by the presence
of the small amount of strychnine con-
tanned in the dose of bicarbonate OF
soda.
.The occurrence of this strychnine
in the bicarbonate 8of soda has not YET
been explained The fact that IT was
not in excess of usual medicinal pro-
portions suggests that its presence was
due either to the error Of a pharma-
cist, or else that the combination was
prepared for tonic purposes.
I'VE must recognize that the prelim-
mary hypothesis Of accidental poison
ing seemed a natural one under the ex-
traordinary circumstances. We regard
1T, however, as being without founda-
tion and wholly incompatible with the
evidence in our possession.
Judge Smith received from DR.. Jor-
dan a message to be sent by cable to
Mountford s. Wilson, at San Francisco
Immediately after the sailing Of tbs
Alameda to the effect that Miss Bernei
took the same dose of bicarbonate Of
soda administered to Mrs. Stanford
and also one of the cascara capsules
at the same time that Mrs. Stanford
did, without showing any signs Of dis
tress. Just before the sailing of the
Alameda, however, Judge Smith re-
ceived by telephone from DR.. Jordan
at the wharf, a message instructing
him to withdraw the dispatch from the
cable Office or, if It had been sent, to
contradict 1t.

wild Scene.

New York, March 15.The police to-
day raided a pool room and gambling
house in 42d street, which they declare
was patronized almost exclusively by
wives of wealthy New Workers. The
evidence upon which the place was
raided and the alleged proprietor,
Frederick Bush, arrested, was obtained
by woman detective. The alleged pool
room was located in fashionable
apartment house. The police had to
break down two doors to reach the
room Their entrance was followed by
a scene of wild excitement, the wo-
men, most Of whom were gathered
around roulette table, screaming and
attempting to escape by the windows
and doors. After they had given their
names and addresses, the women were
allowed to go, but they had to force
their way through the crowd that had
gathered, to their private carriages and
automobiles which We're waiting around
the corner. S
Besides the charge of conducting a
pool room and gambling house Bush is
accused Of attempting to bribe a police
man. =!

CHECKER TOURNAMENT.
British Players Held Advantage at the
Close of Play Last Night.

Boston, March 15.-Wllen the first
days play of the international checker
tournament, in which Americans are
pitted against British players, was
concluded tonight, the visitors had a
decided advantage, having won nine
games, while the Americans We're vic
torious in but three games. Twenty
eight games were drawn.
The tournament, the first Of its kind
in this country, was held in the BAN
quet room of the American house.
British and American flags were en-
twined over the heads Of the players,
and streamers of red, white and blue
were strung across the room.
& During the afternoon the American
players held their own, securing, in the
twenty games played, an even break
with present and past champions of
England and Scotland, FIVE men from
each of these countries making up the
visiting team.
The match which perhaps aroused the
most interest was that between G.. r.
Stewart, for the past five years cham
pion Of Scotland. Each game was
drawn.
In order that original plays might be
developed, the ''two-move restriction
system was adopted. BY this method
the first two moves, which are restrict-
ed to certain positions OF the board, are
decided by lot, thereby leaving to
chance the advantage Of the man who
moves first.
It is planned to play four hundred
games during the tournament, which
will last ten days. Some three hundred
persons crowded the room where the
matches were played to-day, the spec
tators including checker enthusiasts
from New York, Chicago and Milwau-
kee.

i New York, March Is. The hearing in
the suit of w. r. Hearst to prevent
Mayor Mcclellan, city Comptroller
Grout and City Chamberlain Keenan,
from paying a city lighting bill of ST.
100000 was concluded in the state su-
preme court to-day Justice Kelly re-
served his decision for two weeks. He
said, however, that he did not believe
the action Of the comptroller and cham
berlain in agreeing to pay the alleged
exorbitant bills was in bad faith, and
that he did not believe the lighting
companies could refuse to furnish light
if the bills were not paid. He asked
counsel to cite authorities on the latter
point

city for the balance of the current year,
which were opened to-day, indicate that
the lighting companies do not propose
to make any marked reduction in their
prices. ~
The bids submitted are practically
the same as the prices in the contract
entered into by Commissioner Oakley
