New York, Feb. 21.-Policeman O'Day
helped badly battered six-foot man into
the West Twentieth street police station

against the rail. A tall, good-looking
young woman stood behind him.
"Weli, we'll" cried Capt. Burfeind in
astonishment. What hit you. my man?

young woman.
"She did" said the six-foot man, dole

why she had done IL. and OF her prowess
with her small fists.
The young woman was Hannah Hughes.

saw one OF the movers walking of with

Twenty-nfth street.
When she seized him. he struck at her.

went over the girls shoulder. The next
second her fist had smashed him In the
right eye. Then the left fist In the left
eye. Then both fists on the point Of his
chin. and the man went down, with all
the fight taken out OF him.
Right there, Miss Hannah forgot the
rules OF the ring for minute In her
excitement. She jumped on him. She
caught him by his ears and beat a tattoo
against the pavement with his head.
Two friends OF the man stood by In
amazement. He called on them 10 help.
They turned tail and ran. Miss Hannah

with the emperor and at which he ex-
planned that he was Withdrawing from the
cabinet because OF his disapproval OF the
law extending summary courts-martial
parts OF the empire. which was passed
Feb s.
He assured the emperor that his re-
tirement was no sign of lack OF zeal or
of his love for the sovereign. but was
dictated by a deep conviction that the
step was necessary as a protest against
a policy ruinous TO Russia and a travesty
OF the constitutionalism which the en-
peror was seeking TO introduce.
His majesty expressed regret at losing
a faithful and jealous servant and offered
him a seat in the council OF the empire
but NJ. Timiriazeff pleaded that that body
was infected with the same spirit as the
ministry and said he would better serve
the emperor and Russia IL he were un-
trammeled by any bonds connecting him
with the present administration.
The survival OF both Count Witte and
M. Durnovo in the cabinet Is causing
clouds TO gather more ominously over
the head OF the premier. who. his enc

sponsibility for the repressive measures.
An inspired statement asserts tha,
Count Witte has thrice handed in his
resignation, and that each time the er-
peror has refused TO accept II, and that
therefore he is bound as a patriot to
obey the will of the emperor and re-

SPOILED LAWYERS FINE PLEA.
Col. Benton Overreached In Eager
ness to Make Point.

'~SS ''~N~
During the first hearing of the la
mou Crocker will case in the SUI
preme court, before Judge Lathrop
and a jury, there were many inter
estlng and amusing tits between the
eminent counsel engaged in the case
Robert NJ. Morse for the contestants
of the will, and Col, Joseph IL. Ben
ton, Jr., for the executors.
Perhaps at no time during the hear
ing. however, was there my better eX'
hibition of wit than in the summing
up of counsel before the jury. AT
n point Col. Benton was trying TO
impress upon the jury that the eX-
preston odd fool" alleged to have
been used by one of the interested
parties, might reasonably be construed
as a term of endearment.
For example" explained Col. Ben
ton, King Lear called his fond daagh'
ter, my dear pretty fool"
Here he waited a moment to let the
point sink into the minds OF the jury.
Judge Lathrop, however. who had
been listening with intense interest.
leaned forward in. his chair and dryly
remarked:
But, Mr.. Benton. King Lear was
crazy. wasn't he?"
We'll, your honor. that's a mooted
question" was all that the confused
attorney could reply, and even this
was almost smothered by the mirth.
full outburst in the court room, in
which the opposing counsel, Mr..
Morse, Joined most heartily.
