the Nippon Maru was sunk, and, there
fore, am inclined to believe she is
still afoat''
G. Lacy Goodrich, formerly purser of
the Toyo Kisen steamship Nippon Ma
ru, and yesterday passenger on the
Mongolia en- route to Yokohama to go
on the America Maru as purser, made
the above statement.
The America Maru is scheduled to
leave Yokohama about October 1 for
Honolulu, arriving here about October
10. She has been in service with the
japanese navy almost continually
since the war began, save for two
cruises to San Francisco, when she
was returned to the japanese Navy
Department and became a hospital
ship.

boats, calling at Honolulu, We're COM
Wandered by the japanese government
at the commencement of the war and
put into service.
Officers of the steamer DoricA stated
yesterday that the Nippon and Hong,
kong are merely shells of their former
grandeur, as the insides of each We're
ripped out completely, and the vessels
transformed into fighting craft. The
America Maru was more fortunate, and.
therefore, she will be the first vessel
to resume her run to San Francisco.
1.-THE Togo Kisen Kaisha is building
two more vessels, larger than the three
now owned by the T. K. X" said
Goodrich yesterday, while chatting
with a crowd of his Honolulu friends.
And Goodrich will get one of the big
boats when it goes into commission.

Special Correspondence to The Press
LEXINGTON, Ky, July 2O.-When
the divorce case Of John f.. Madden,
noted as IA turfman from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast, against his wife.
Anna Mcgrue Madden, comes to trial
in Il few weeks it is expected that the
details will fairly sizzle
At least, the allegations IN the petit
ton are full of promise.
Madden states that an agreement
was entered into between him and
his wife that they should not make
their marriage known for several
months thereafter, she to be known
by her maiden name of Anna Louise
Megrue.
Then follows the allegation that
Trainer Albert Simons and his wife
Laura acted MS "go-betweens' for
Mrs. Madden and l.. V. Bell, promi-
nent New York turfman, arranging
meeting places for the two.
Bell, Madden alleges, is man OF
VIGOROUSLY bad repute. whose atten-
ttons to any woman would asperse
her character Madden states that
when he heard of his wife's relations
with Bell he was shocked, and re-
monstrated. whereupon she deserted
him and engaged rooms at Endicott
hotel, In New York, and with the
connivance of her father and brother,
took secret and forcible possession
of their two sons, Edward and
Joseph.
Madden states further that his
wife's divorce proceedings in Gin
cinnati, which was her old home,
were false and fraudulent, and that
he believes his wife has continued
intimate social relationship with Bell
and the Simonses.
Then comes queer allegation
wherein Madden asserts that Joseph

When news of this came to the
fathers ears he sought to wean the

True to her word the woman, who

young Lochinvar remained servile to

to the pleadings of his father, whose
hair turned gray in a week.

KING LARkY'S OPINION
OF PENNANT RACES

Ever since the opening Of the PEN
nant season of 1905 l have believed
that in Cleveland we have a team of
championship caliber. AS the season
progresses, my belief is strengthened.
Unless we get the worst of 1T from
Dame Fortune, I look to see Cleve-
land at the top when the season
closes.
The playing year is now about half
League has been the closest l ever
witnessed in baseball. At no time
during the past three months has
there been a week when two or three
games would not have changed the
complexion of the first four or five
teams.
1t was unfortunate that I had to
take to my bed just at time when
the eastern teams were invading the
west. Now If ever we need every
regular player. Kahl, who has been
playing in my position, has done as
well as could be expected from a
youngster just breaking into fast
company-far better than would nat
urally be looked for under the cir
cumstances.
l think that from this time out
the real pennant race will begin and
that it will be a warm fight to the
finish. 1 do not look to see any team
gain a big lead in the race, as the
leading clubs are too well balanced
and too evenly matched. Naturally,
l hope to see the pennant come to
Cleveland; and from the quality of
game shown by the Cleveland team,
may say l will be surprised If it does
not.

WINSTED, Conn, July 2O.-
Whether it was hypnotism, as is sug-
gested by his father, or whether it
was the result of a Don Quixotic am
bition born of innate courtesy, is the
puzzle in the queer romance of Wal
ter Langdon, of 10 tender years, who
participated in the sensational fight
from the Hudson River State Asylum
for the Insane of Mrs. Janet L. Will
son, daughter of former Congressman
Philip d. Low of New York.
Whatever may have been the i'm
pelling motive, it is a certainty that
young Langdon's summer impression
of the adjudged mad woman was that
she was the victim of unbearable
persecution in being held under re-
straint, and that his esteem of
her acknowledged personal charm
amounts to impassioned alteration.
The romance dates back a year.
Mrs. Wilson, social queen in her
set, dark-eyed. fair, and wealthy in
her own right, became victim Of
the dread cocaine habit She was
found mentally irresponsible, and, at
the instance of her father and hus-
band, she was confined in the Pough-
keepsie institution.
A few days ago the keepers found
Mrs. Wilson's cell empty. The iron
bars at the window had been filed
off. In the early morning hours the
woman had escaped. A couple Of
days later she was located at small
hotel near this city. With her was
young Langdon, son of DR.. Charles
w. Langdon, assistant superintend-
ont of the asylum. The boy knight
Grant had registered under an as
sumed name. engaged the best avail
able apartment for Mrs. Wilson and
another one less pretentious for him
self. He then set about, with i'm
pulsive gallantry, to do her every
bidding Then came his Identification,
followed by his indignant and wound
ed father, who for days pleaded in
vain to inuce the boy to return to
his home.
II will never leave her" young
Langdon said. "She has been abused
and she is as sane as anyone. She
needs my friendship and support and
| shall not fail her"
