sAGHALIEN's STRATEGIC VALUE.
Russian Explains Why the Island VIII
Not Be Coded TO Japan.

PORTSMOUTH, y. h. Aug. 2L-The
following statement from an authori-
tatiye source represents the Russian
view of the military and strategic value
Of the island of Ssghalien:
To appreciate its military value il must Je
borne in mind that the island, which is about
go miles long. lies almost against the main
land being separated from il by the strait
OF Tartary. which In some places is only ionr
miles wide. Physically IL might almost be
considered Dart Of the Asiauc continent 10
allow Saghalisn 70 pass into the hanos OF
Japan would be like America allowing Long
Island or England allowing the Isle OF Wight
pass into the possession OF an ambitious
foreign power. The danger from Saghalien
passing 70 Japan would indeed be greater ior
Russia than the loss OF Long Island by
America as the length OF Long Island is
scarcely one-fifCh that OF Saghalien-
There IS no dorbt that whoever controls
Saghalien. besides being in a position 10 threat

the square mile. Exploitation Of the resources
Of the island has been hsmpered by the rigor-
Gus climate and lack OF communications and II
is almost without roads and covered by almost
ina ccessible forests.
The development Of the resources by Russia
was planned as a consequence of the completion
Of the Trans-Siberian Railroad Large prohts
were expected from its riches as II contains
great quantities Of coal. OIL timber. iron ana
other minerals The CHIEF resource, however,
thus far has bsen its fisheries.
This Russian authority denied that
the japanese were prevented fishing in
the waters of Saghalien. He admitted
that they were submitted to certain
rules and restrictions, the object OF
which was TO prevent the determination
Of the fish. But that was all He con-
tinued:
The Insignificant military forces which Rus
sia had in the island are another PROOF OF
our sincere belief in peace. We had not made
the least preparations for military operations,

GENERAL Miner
WILL TESTIFY
Superior Officer Accused
by Major Taggart Is to
Tell His Story To Day
RETHERS ALSO ON STAND
Mrs. Fannie Saffarons the
Days Spectacular Witness
in the Divorce Case
Special Dispatch to The Call.


WOOSTER. Ohio, Aug. 21-Genera]
Miner arrived in Wooster tonight and
viii testify Tomorrow in the Taggart
dlvorce case. Captain Rethers also is
mere and will go on the stand as a
character witness tomorrow.
The principal witness for Mrs Tag
CART to-day was Mrs. Irene Shields
Voss. niece, of Mrs. Taggart. The
damaging part of her testimony re-
lated to Major Taggart and Augusta
de la Cruise. the Filipino woman who
mad described improper conduct on the
part of Captain Bash and Mrs. Tag
CART. Twice, at night Mrs. Voss swore,
she saw Taggart and the Filipino wom-
an go into a room and lock the door.
Mrs. Eoss dragged various family
skeletons from the Taggart family
closet and exhibited them.
Twice 1 saw Major Taggart strike
his WIFE, said Mrs. Voss, who descrtb-
ed the two incidents in detail.
She said Taggart was very quarrel
some on the subject of fsCaptain Bash.
One time he came home to go driving
with his wife and discovered that she
had gone out with Bash. He followed
them, and. on finding Mrs, Taggart
with Bash, there was quarrel, after
which Bash drove away. She thought
Taggart was intoxicated then. She had
observed no indiscretion between Cap
tain Bash and Mrs. Taggart.
Perhaps the most spectacular witness
of the day was Mrs. Fannie Saffarons,
wife of Major Saffarons of Denver.
Mrs Saffarons has been sort of a
child, of the garrison" Her father
was an officer and she married an Of
ficer. Major Taggart called her Fan
ME and she called him Tag" she ex-
planned. When she went to Cuba he
greeted her with a kiss and she admit
ted that the farewell was similar when
she left. In regard to the Matanzas
cafe, she said that she and Mrs. Tag
gart and a couple of officers went there,
but no intoxicants were drunk. When
Taggart came in he said: Fannie, 1t
a nice time for you girls to be out,
and with that he smashed glass out
of his wife's hands.
The captain had the best stocked
sideboard at Fort Thomas, she admit
ted. a.
'I'll ask you, Mrs. Saffarons, If you
are not now the heroine of big scan
dal at Fort Logan?" remarked counsel.
This question was not answered.
rs 1t not fact that a young officer
by the name of Lieutenant English
was court -martialed andafound guilty
on a charge of misappropriating funds
which he spent on you?"
The court refused to permit the an
swer to be made part of the record.
The dispositions of Captain Poore and
Mrs. Poore were read tsosday. Captain
Poore said he went home with Mrs
Taggart on the night of June 30 He
had not got far away from the house
when he heard the servant, Emma, cry
from an upstairs window:
For Gods sake. he's killing her!
The next day, when he went to see
Mrs. Tia aggart, she had bruise on her
face. There was a raw mark on her
shoulder and her hands were bruised.

EVELYN WALSH
NOT CRIPPLED
Washington Heiress Under
goes Operation as Result
of Automobile Accident
HER BROTHER BURIED
Injured Young Woman Is
Yet in Ignorance of
the Fact of His Death
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEWPORT, Aug. 21.-Miss Evelyn
Walsh had to go through the painful or
deal of having her fractured right thigh
set this afternoon. Fortunately the
actual operation took only an instant, and
Miss Walsh continued to display the
bravery she has shown since the automo-
bile accident on Saturday. The X-ray
photographs clearly showed fracture Of
the larger bone of the thigh very near
the hip joint. The plates also showed that
the union Of the two parts had not been
exact, and the operation of to-day was
found to be necessary. The reports that
she will be permanent cripple have been
a cause of grief to her family and
friends, and are as far from the truth as
possible.
Doctors Wheatland, Stewart and Flint
examined Miss Walsh this morning while
the funeral service of Yinson Walsh was
being held on the lower floor of the villa.
They took Miss Walshs attention SO COM
pletely that she did not obtain any ink
ling OF the services over the body of her
brother, of whose death she has not yet
been informed.
Mr. Walsh was almost in a state of col
lapse to-day, and Mrs. Walsh and others
supported him as he walked to the car
riage. When he returned from the ceme-
l6Iy ne Was even llioIS "diAcCtCuf oho Las
friends tonight are concerned as to his
condition.
AS soon as Miss Walsh is able to be
moved and Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh can leave
they will go TO Washington, where the
sons body viii be buried in Rock Creek
Cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs Walsh and Miss
Walsh will then go to Denver.
The last words Vinson Walsh spoke
after the accident was in inquiry about
his sisters condition.
.'How's Sis?" he asked, as he was
raised up by Miss Sarah Gilbert, who
held his head until he was put into car
riage and taken to the hospital.
1t was not known until this morning
that the chauffeur, Pierre Monett, suf-
fered painful injuries in the accident. AS
he apparently recovered quickly after
the automobile plunged into the creek and
assisted in helping those under the ma
chine ii was believed he had escaped
harm.
The following statement to the press
was issued tonight:
In the depth of afdiction. in justice to
the memory of our darling boy, we want to
say that although he has run an automobile
since he was IA years DID, he never before had
an accident and never injured a living being.
over who have showered their expressions or
sympathy upon us, are grateful beyond the
expression of words.
The universal sympathy will help US bear
our awful burden, to live on for each other
and grope our way to the bitter end; never
theless carrying IN our hearts a sorrow that
time cannot efface = I -

The difficulty encountered in finding
room in Westminster Abbey for a recum-
bent effigy of the late Lord Salisbury has
called attention afresh to the overcrowd-
ed condition of the National Valhalla.
Many of those whose memory is there
perpetuated by monuments and sculp-
tured tablets have no claim whatever to
be numbered among the empires illus
trious dead. They include worthless court
favorites, some scores of minor eccesf-
astics, third-rate poets and several abso-
lutte nobodies In the old days 1t was an
easy matter for anybody who had a pull
with the Dean to get a defunct relative
buried there and a memorial to him
erected 1t is obvious that some arrange
ment will soon have to be made whereby
the unworthy ones and their monuments
will gradually be cleared out to make
room for those deserving of commemora-
ton there: or else some other Hall Of
Fame will have to be established for the
reception/of memorials of those who con-
tribute to England's greatness. The un-
satisfactory state of affairs that now
exists in the Abbey has been largely
caused by allowing the matter to be con-
trolled by it's ecclesiastical authorities.
That is the reason why so many incon-
spicuous clerics incumber it's precious
space. 1t has been proposed In Parlia-
ment that the Abbey ecclesiastics should
no longer be allowed to exercise such ex-
elusive control. The passage of such a
measure would be step in the right
direction. But it would avail little If
not accompanied by some provision for
Kidding the Abbey of the bones and
memorials of those who never possessed
any claim to even fleetfng fame.

MUST ABANDON
NOTED PALACE
Duke. Of Sutherland Forced
to Close Gates of Trent
ham Hall in Staffordshire
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Aug. H.-Trentham Hall, the
Staffordshire seat Of the Duke of Suther-
land, which he is abandoning because the
pollution of the River Trent renders its
occupancy no longer safe, Is one Of the
most magnificent private residences In
Great Britain. Designed by the great
architect Barry in the style of an Italian
palace, it was built in the Georgian pc
riod at a cost of $3.50, ,000. With it's superb
picture galleries and fine statuary, it's
beautiful gardens and Conservatives and
great park, it is one of the most admired
show places of the kingdom. Visitors
have always Teen granted free access to
it. and the closing of its gates will be
more keenly felt by the general public
than by the Duke. He has several other
fine residences, any of which is MT to
house King.
The sewage from Stoke-on- Trent. the
center of the great Staffordshire pottery
industry. is allowed to flow into the
Trent. which passes through the Duke
estate and close to the great house. 10
such an extent has the pollution from
this source increased of late that 1T en-
dangers the health of the occupants OF
Trentham Hall. The Duke has threat
ened to bring suit for damages against
the Stoke corporation.
Like SO many other broad lands of
tate was part of the plunder OF the
monasteries despoiled by King Henry
VIII. He gave 1t to Charles Brandon,
Duke of Suffolk, who had married his
sister. subsequently, 1t passed TO the
Ieyesons, a Staffordshire family which
rose to eminence through Nicholas Lev
eson, a London merchant who was Lord
Mayor of London in 1888. The estate,
by marriage, passed into the possession
present Duke of Sutherland. In those
days they were simple Yorkshire
souires. BY series of lucky mar
Giasres the family rose in rank, wealth
and possessions. And thus it has come
to pass that the present Duke, In adr
dition to his dukedom. has five bar
onies. four viscounttes, five earldoms
and marquisate. and owns more
property than any other man In the
kingdom. His estates. all told. amount
to 1.35S. 600 acres, the larger portion Of
which are in Scotland. To reach the
more distant portions of his Sutherland
estates in that country, the Duke
makes use of private railway, often
driving the engine himself.
Some years ago. the late Shah Of Per-
sia. when staying at Trentham in
Wales (now King Edward) is said to
have requested an account of the
wealth of his host. After listening at
tentlvely to the story of the Dukes
possessions, the Shah turned to the
Prince and asked if. when he came to
the throne. he would not behead this
powerful man under whose roof they
