That Several Are Badly
Injured in Disturbance

ST. PETERSBURG, June AT great
demonstration this evening in the Paw
lovsk gardens. near Tsarskoe-Selo, the
5uO persons present clamored for a
funeral march in memory of the Russian
sailors who lost their lives in the naval
disaster in the Sea of Japan. The mem
bers of the orchestra became alarmed
and fed from the platform. M. Novikoff,
former Mayor of Baku, arose and said ::
Let US all by rising show respect for
the victims. Down with the war. We
have had enough blood
Some eighty policemen entered the far
ther end of the hall and elbowed their
way through the crowd toward NJ Novi-
koff, whereupon cries were raised of Let
US attack the police
Chairs were seized and hurled at the
police, the crowd being led by a colonel
with drawn sword. The policemen fed
precipitately. When order was restored
number of speeches were delivered on
the national crisis. Suddenly the police,
reinforced to the number of two or three
hundred, again invaded the hall and
rushed on the audience with drawn
swords. The people defended themselves
With chairs and sticks. but after battle
lasting ten minutes were driven from the
hall into the garden, where there was a
battalion of Tirailleurs. The soldiers
raised their rifles to their shoulders pre-
liminary to the order to fire, causing a
panic. The people fled toward the exits,
and finding them closed smashed the
doors and windows of the hall and so
gained the street. Many persons were
injured. some SO seriously that they had
to be taken to a hospital.
NJ Novikoff was arrested and the gar
dens were occupied by police and Cos
sacks. A strong military force was placed
on the road leading from Pavlovsk to
Tsarskoe-Selo and to ST. Petersburg and
at the railway stations. People return
ing to st. Petersburg from the gardens
spread accounts of the affair, which soon
became a general topic.

vLADIvOSTOK, June Sit is ex-
pected here that a Japanese attack on
the fortress will not be long delayed.
There is, however. a calm and deter

tion in, the face of the forthcoming
crisis. The defenses of vladivostok. on
which steady work has been,in progress
since the beginning of the war, are now
considered as having been completed.
TACOMA, June 4.-Purser p. C.. Mar
rington of the steamship Lyra, just ar
rived here, says that while at Moji on
May 10 eighteen transports carrying SOL
diers were seen sailing for Korea. 1t was
understood that the men were to march
overland and join the Japanese in North
ern Manchuria. The current rumor, which
was well authenticated, was that the
Japanese. would soon begin forward
movement, having in contemplation the
capture Of Vladivostok.
While at Yokohama and other Japanese
ports officers of the Lyra witnessed other
opera tions of a warike nature which con-
vinced them that Vladivostok is the goal
toward which the armies of Oyama are
marching. Every transport. and there
were many of them, was heavily laden
with soldiers going to join their COM
rades.

NICHOLS TELLS
STRANGE STORY
Continued from Page i, Col. L.

pany Clark Wise & Co., and the Noise
Klinkner Company.
The last of the many places where
Chief Prophet Bernard lived in this city
is 800 Taylor street, a rooming house. He
occupied apartments there with Jones
and Nichols. and it was there the two
last named were taken into custody.
Bernard left there about a week ago
and established himself in Oakland as a
teacher of hypnotism. In the latter city
he has scattered abroad his circulars,
containing a cut depicting him in a hyp-
MOTTO trance with thirty-two physicians
surrounding him.
While Bernard and his disciples lived
in an upper fiat at 1411A Golden Gate ave-
nue., where the neighbors heard strange
noises at late hours of the night. Peter
son one day received a cabalistic letter
written in cipher and bearing upon II the
representation of a black hand. That
night after translating. it. he blackened
his face, donned sweater in lieu of his
coat and went forth as a negro for two
hours. What this meant those who were
cognizant of it meyer had explained to
them. A turbaned Syrian frequently
made his appearance at the Golden Gate
avenue fiat
Just how many young people Bernard
is now teaching the mysterious cult Of
which he processes to be master is not
known. Mt is alleged, though, that he has
fourteen pupils.
Nichols has a good old mother at S79
Eddy street, who. says that she knows
her boy has been led into evil through
occult influence. His father says that he
has been under hypnotic spell ever
since he got in with Bernard. Since that
time the boy has not lived at home. His
parents say he was a model youth until
he came under Bernard's influence.
Young Nichols is very anxious that the
hypnotic theory should prevail He says
he is student of the occult and psychol-
ogy in general. He is accredited with
power to hypnotize any portion Of his
body so that needles may be thrust into
the flesh without pain.
The arrested youth has not yet been
formally charged with any offense. A
charge will probably be filed against him

taking advantage of the recent course

constructed with or controlled by for

concession Is intended 40 be really the

white race out of the country and clos

The Chinese put the matter in this
way: The American-China Develop

tial money indemnity or otherwise have
the contract broken at all events Faf1-
ing the acceptance of the indemnity,
such opposition will be organized as to
render the American efforts to carry

an immediate indemnity in lieu Of fu-

would mean that the road probably

and the skin peeled from the faces Of
many of his men. Some were brine
soaked, while others were despatched

wounds, but because of unconsciousness
due to exhaustion"

stroyer Gromski, describing the fight,
says:
"A Whitehead torpedo struck US right
astern. Twenty-one officers and men, in
cluding our captain, were killed instantly.
Twenty-three others were shot overheard
The remaining twenty-five exploded a
charge in the destroyer and sank her.
Then we plunged into the sea, expecting
to be finished by the Japanese quick-firing
guns, but to our amazement we were res
