WOMAN ARRESTED FOR
SPEAKING IN THE PARK

Mrs. B. e. Stangle of 5O7 Maple
avenue was arrested in Central park
yesterday afternoon by Officer Collins
and taken to the police station on a
charge of infringing the ordinance
prohibiting speechmaking in the
breathing ground on Sixth street.
The policeman stated that the wo-
man was delivering an address on some
religious topic when he interfered. The
department says she has given them
some trouble before along the same
lines. She is well known about town
as a fanatical religious worker. spend
ing her time distributing tracts, etc.,
and, 1t is said, lecturing smokers on
the evils of that comforting habit.
After a conference in Captain Au-
ble's office she was allowed to go free.
She alleges that the officer used her
roughly and maltreated her. Her
friends are incensed over what they
declare to be an outrage, and have put
themselves on record as determined to
take the question before the police
commission and prefer charges against
the officer.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 9, $40 a.
nI.-The unprecedented spectacle Of a
powerful modern battleship cruising
around in the Black Sea in the hands
of crew who. under the rules Of in
ternational law, cannot be regarded as
other than pirates, and of the admiral
in command Of the rest of the Euxine
fleet frankly confessing his inability to
cope with the situation and ordering
the fires Of his warships to be drawn,
has stupefied the Russian admiralty.
The whereabouts of the errant bat
tleship, Kniaz Potemkine, is unknown
here; no plans for capturing her have
been devised and the policy of non-in-
reference seems to be at present in
vogue The situation would furnish
a libretto for a comic opera were not
the elements of the plot. SO serious.
Dispatches from Odessa and Sebas-
topol, which are confirmed by the adj
miralty, clear up fully the present
situation. The Kniaz Potemkine has
sailed from Odessa and is now at
large, and her crew, reinforced by
sympathizers from shore, is still in
| control of the vessel
On the Georgi Pobiedonotseff. which
cast in its fortunes with the Kniaz
Potemkine after it's arrival at Odessa
and landed its officers, the more loyal
or more timorous portion of the crew
again gained the upper hand and
agreed to surrender and disarm the
ship. The rest of the squadron re-
turned to Sebastopol without ventur-
ing to take up the gauntlet thrown
down by the mutineers on the Kniaz
Potemkine, and Admiral Kruger, after
a council of war, finding that he could
not depend on his crews, ordered the
fires drawn beneath the boilers of his
ships and gave permission to all the
disaffected officers and sailors to quit
the vessel and go ashore. The sailors
of the Ekaterina III were known to be
so mutinous that the battleship was
left behind when the squadron started
for Odessa, the whole crew dismissed
and the ship disarmed.
The Kniaz Potemkine. which was
steering a southerly course when she
left Odessa, would within q few hours
be south Of Russian limits. and may
next be heard from at some Balkan or
Turkish port
The spirit manifested throughout the
the Sea Of Japan, as large part OF
the crew, especially those of Admiral
Nebogatoff's division, was drafted
from the Euxine sea and the men were

SUICIDE OF STRANGER
BECAUSE OF ILL HEAL TIL
c. Faulkner Shoots Himself Through
the Heart While De-
spondent

Ill-health probably caused c. Faulk
ner TO commit suicide by shooting him
self through the heart in his room at
the Blakesley hotel, 3O4 South Main
street, yesterday afternoon.
Detective Bert Cowan was detailed
to investigate the suicide and reported
that the dead man left no note in ex-
PLANTATION of his act, and the SUPPOSE
tion of dependency from il-health is
the suggestion of his landlady, Mrs
Boggs, who stated that he came to the
hotel few days ago and registered as
C. Faulkner and seemed to be a suf
ferer with consumption.
Very little was seen of him around
the hotel and his appearance gave the
impression that he was mechanic and
possessed but little money. He never
spoke of himself or his illness and was
of moody disposition.
Coroner Trout will hold an inquest
this morning.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 2.-Reports
are current here that 1000 persons have
Deen drowned in great food at Guana-
juato, mining city, now the important
seat of activity of several large Ameri-
can and British companies.
The wires were down all day yester-
day and the roads were impossible. NO
news has been received directly and
two reports are current, one saying
1000 were killed, another says that at
least 100 were drowned. Late tidings
are that Guanajuato is completely
flooded and water is already invading
the higher parts of the town, while
there is fear that 'Taolla" dam may
give way, which would mean complete
and general ruin.
The city is built in a great gorge in
the mountains. and the streets ramble
up the mountain side in picturesque
fashion.
A storm began furiously on the night
Of June 30, and after midnight no one
Of the inhabitants dared go to bed,
SO tremendous was the fury of the ele-
ments. The water rose in the lower or
business streets, flooding stores and
damaging thousands of dollars worth
Of merchandise.
The lower streets became raging tor
rents as the water poured in rivers
down the upper streets. Doors were
smashed in by the force of the water
and windows were no protection
against the fury of the flood. Later ad-
vices state that it is known that over a
hundred lives were lost at Guanajuato
A dispatch to President Robertson of
the Mexican Central railroad says there
are 1000 dead at Guanajuato.
The town of Marafilo, just below
Guanaiuato, was completely wiped out.
The raging water is carrying the dead
through every street of Guanajuato.
In Guanajuato the water is up to
the second story Of the Hotel Union
Great damage has been wrought to
the street car line and service cannot
be resumed inside month.
Great Dam Carried Away
There is only one way the people can
get to Marafilo, which is with mules
or afoot. Telegraphic communication
with Guanajuato is shut off and it is
supposed "Laolla" dam was complete
" destroyed. but this cannot be con-
frmed.
The Mexican Central northbound
passenger train ran into a washout
north of Irapuato and was derailed,
the water running over some of the
cars.
Advices from Queretaro are to the
effect that there was no telegraphic
communication with Quanajuato last
night.
Messengers who managed to get out
OF the city say the water stands from
three to four feet deep in houses and
shops in the lower part of the city
and that the stricken people have gone
into the mountains carrying their vail
uables. The storm began to abate at
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The superintendent of the Mexican
railroad had advised officials here not
to accept baggage.

THE POSITIONS ARE COMBINED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, July 2.-Presldent
Roosevelt today authorized the an
nouncement that he had appointed
Charles e. Magoon as United States
minister to Panama. Judge Magoon
is at present governor of the canal
zone at Panama and a member of the
executive committee of the isthmlan
canal commission.
Prior to his appointment on the
canal commission he was the law Off
Ger of the insular affairs bureau of the
war department He is in Panama at
present performing his duties in con-
junction with the canal work.
The determination of the president to
have the officers of the government
canal zone and minister to Panama
filled by the same man was decided
upon soon after the reorganization of
the isthmian canal commission two or
three months ago. Experience had
demonstrated that a conflict of auth
ority was likely to arise between the
governor and minister and in addition
confusion was created among the
Panamans, particularly the Officials of
the republic, by the presence of two
officers holding similar powers.
1t was well known that George W.
Davis, former governor of the canal
zone, and John Barrett, until recently
minister to Panama, did not pull to-
gether well, although there was no
open difficulty between them To
avert any possible trouble in the fu-
ture that might be detrimental to the
interests of this country or to those
of Panama in the construction of the
canal, the appointment of Judge Ma
coon to the two offices was deter
mined upon. 1t is known that the
designation of Judge Magoon as min
lister to Panama in connection with his
appointment of governor of the canal
zone is notably pleasing to the offfcia;s
and people of Panama.

Everything from massage houses to
opium joints and "speak-easies" was
closed. The station houses could not

five magistrates labored to dispose of
the cases.
Hardly a man on the police force
slept all night and every patrol wagon
in the city was in constant requisition.
Close upon 2000 prisoners, men and
women, were taken.
The approximate fines imposed is

they were of gentle families, women of

Many of the women were desperate
and hysterical and tried to cover their
shame with death and two almost sue

Many women and girls to whom ar
rest spelled ruin, secured ball through
