TO ENTER WAUKEGAN.
Rural Telephone Lines Seek to Secure a
Means to Enter Waukegan.

NAGduS W EACGT w duhCSdHe
There is every reason to believe
that Kenosha and Waukegan will be
connected with another telephone be-
fore the end of the coming summer as
the rural lines in the south and south
western part of this county are now
seeking means to secure connec-
ton in the city of Waukegan. The
rural lines in this county are already
connected with several rural lines in
Lake county and a persistent effort is
being made by these lines to get an
opening to Waukegan.
If this connection is secured it will
be long step toward securing con-
nection for the independent lines in
Chicago.

Of the number proceeds apparently
from the fact that thirteenth card Of
one OF his packs bears the figure OF
death.
In England the superstition that one
OF n company Of thirteen must die
within the year is traced to the old
calculation Of the insurance offices that
out of thirteen persons taken indis-
criminately one viii die within twelve
months. Others trace the awe in which
the figures are held 10 the last supper.
at which thirteen were present. Lord
Lytton dealt with this aspect: remark
Ing, Some have carried il to the ex,
tent of dislilling that number at all
times, but the commoner form limits il
to Friday" But the antipathy IS older
than Christianity. In the old Morse
mythology the thirteen party was
deemed unlucky because. at a BANQUET

MUTTNEERS SURRENDER.
Demand on Rumania Likely
Rum0r of Ne1c ReUolt- -Riots.

St. Petersburg. July s-The Admiralty late
this afternoon was informed OF the surrender Of
the Kniaz Potemkine to the Rumanian authori-
ties at Kusten1i but the officials here have no
details of the arrangements made between the
Rumanian government and the mutineers. No
diplomatic steps have been taken, but the
Foreign Office undoubtedly will make the strong
est representations against the mutineers being
treated as simple deserters. and demand their
surrender to answer not only for mutiny. but
also for the murder of their officers. the bonn
bardment Of Odessa and inciting revolution
The vaingIorious proclamation issued by the
mutineers at TheOdosia will also weigh heavily
against them. Their crime is one which is con-
sidered to be the most odious by all nations. and
it is thought to be Imperative that the sternest
justice be meted out to the rinsIeaders
example to the fleets OF Russia and Of the whole
world. Rear Admiral Krdger's squadron. as
as it can be reached. will be ordered to
continue it's cruise to Kussenji take over the
battleship and place crew board. There is
a strong sentiment in favor OF wiping the name
of Kniaz Potemkine from the naval register and
giving the ship new name not recalling her
disgrace.
On the BOurse to-day there were rumors that
the crew of the battleship Alexander III had also
nutinied and were bOmbarding Libau but there
is not the slightest confirmation Of the report.
The government hopes that the ignominious COL
lapse of the mutiny on the Kniaz Potemkine will
have quieting effect on the internal unrest en-
couraged by the naval revolt.
The situation in the Caucasus is so bad that
the authorities there dared not publish an Official
account of the naval mutiny and the events at
Odessa There are continual disorders at TifiS
and the government is taking measures to dis
tribute arms and ammunition among the Rus
sian population of the Caucasus

and 7th-ave. last night The man was walking
between two detectives and the woman, on
whose complaint he had been arrested, was
about ten feet in the rear, when she drew
3S calibre revolver from fold of her dress and
fired two shots, both of which struck the man
in the back. He reeled back, turning toward her
as he fell, and she placed the revolver against
his stomach and fired third shot before she
could be prevented by the detectives. A hurry
call was sent TO Roosevelt Hospital but on the
arrival of the ambulance the man was dead
The woman was locked up in the Mercer-st
station charged with homicide The body of the
man was removed to the West 20th-st. station
and later to the Morgue
Both man and woman were French and the
woman told the following story to the police:
For six years L slaved for that man." she
said. in voice that bore the slightest French
accent. IF / did not bring him money he
abused me. 1t was money, money, money That
was his cry. and if did not bring it to him he
would beat. beat, beat me. 1 am glad 1 killed
him. He can hurt no one now
The causes which led up to the shooting date
couple lived at No 290 7th-ave. Gerdron spent
his time lounging about spending the money
earned by the womans shame on clothes and
dissipation One night the woman returned
without as much money as Gerdron thought she
should have. He seized her by the neck, dig
ging his nails into her flesh and choking and
beating her almost into insensibility. She went
to the police and told her story, showing her
neck and body. which were covered with marks
Detective Morton put to work the case,
but was unsuccessful. till last night, when. with
Detectives Martineau and Billifer, he at
work about the Tenderoin. The trio were on
the east side of 1th-ave about 10 o'clock when
they met the Claicat woman, and she helped
them to find Gerdron
When Gerdron he was caught he turned
and faced the woman.
What? You have me pinch?" he cried, Il

Morton and Martineau Strengthened the
man out" and hastily searched him to see
whether he prepared to carry out his
threat He was not armed. They started to
walk north to the Tenderoin station house.
where they had intended to lock him up. They
had not gone more than half a dozen steps when
the tragedy occurred.

Washington, July S.-Secretary James wilson
is a sorely disappointed man. For the first time

and efficiency of the little Division of Statistics
which he has raised TO the dignity of a bureau
has long been the pride of the Secretary. and
the tndubitable proof that its assistant chief has
betrayed his trust has proven a heartbreak to
the head of the department.
1t was also a source Of disappointment TO the
Secretary tc find this morning that, despite the
fact that the guilty official was weeks ago sus-

the fact that the purport of the Secretarys Of

Secretary Wilson has, however, taken prompt
measures TO remedy the evils which the opera

posed and is confident that never again, while
he is Secretary of Agriculture. will the specu-

st. Petersburg. July S.-A landing of Japanese
troops on the island of Saghalien was officially
reported tonight, and startled military circles
in ST Petersburg, though il had been realized
since the defeat of Admiral Rojestvensky that
the Japanese were able to take possession of
the island as soon as they thought fit.
The japanese feet covering the landing of
troops on Saghalien consisted of two battle
ships, seven cruisers, three gunboats. thirty-sx
torpedo boats and ten transports loaded with
troops.
The japanese landed at the village of Meree,
between Shepivan and KorsakOysk The COM
mander of the Russian detachment of troops at
Korsakovsk ordered the coast defence guns to
be blown up and all the government buildings
burned before retiring.
The landing is considered here to express
