5,0O0,OO0CHINESEsT STARVING
The Famine in North Kianzsu
Worse Than Reported.
State Department Receives Appeal
For Aid From the Stricken Coun-
try-5O Miles Under Water

Washington, D. C.--The State De-
partment has received urgent APP
peals for aid for the 100000 who
are starving in China
According to official advices from
the Project of Hainanfu the famine
in North Kianzsu is much worse than
first reported. The crops are almost
total failure in Taoyuen, and early
in 1907 this meagre supply will be
exhausted. The conditions in Au-
tong and Filming are still worse.
The country is under water for
fifty miles, and people wade through
water from knee deep to waist Deep
and in some places up to their necks.
Just west of Tsingo what formerly
was a fertile plain covered with good
crops and prosperous hamlets, is now
lake twenty miles wide at the mar
rowest point and stretching for more
than forty miles to the southwest.
Here and there, the Project says,
ssare groups of cottages which rise
above the sheet of water, and can
only be reached by boats. The peo-
pie are in state Of absolute destitu-
ton, not only their crops, but also
their reeds, which constitute the fuel,
being destroyed by the foods.
The famine-stricken refugees from
the Yangtsekiang districts are coll
1ecting in large numbers outside the
cities. About 10000 are camped
near Marking, and 100000 near
Yangchow, forty miles northeast.
Both these towns are in the KianzsW
Province.

WOMAN PASSED AS MAN
Identity Of DsrayIan Revealed BY
Death in Arizona.
Married Once Before and Divorced
BY Woman Who Refuses
to Talk.

Chicago One of the most remark
able cases of double identity in the
history of Chicago was revG-led when
it was announced in dispatch from
Phoenix, Ariz., that Nicolai Deraylan,
known in Chicago as man for more
than dozen years, was in reality a
woman. There ensued evidences of
some mystery in the offices Of the
Russian Consulate in Chicago, with
Baron Schlippenbach, the Cars rep
resentative, telegraphing to Phoenix
for full information on the death of
Deraylan and the details of the dis
covery of the deception successfully
maintained in Chicago during years
of work as a clerk in the consulate.
With word of the discovery by an
undertaken that Deraylan had con
cealed his true sex from his ac-
quaintances in Chicago came denial
from Deraylan's wife, who lives in
No. 500 California avenue, of the re-
port from Arizona. Miss Lillian
Sweeney, for i've years Deraylan's
stenographer, refused to believe the
report that her employer was a
woman.
Deraylan was always well dressed,
careful in the selection of his COM
paniOns and friends, neat in appear
ance and particular in the care Of his
hands and hair He never shaved,
and he spoke in high pitched, treble
voice, peculiarities which often caused
good natured comment by his friends
He smoked constantly, seldom be-
ing seen in business hours without
cigar or cigarette, and his friends
say he was possessed of a discriminate
ing taste in liquors. with ability to
Withstand the effects Of drink better
than most other men. Deraylan was
last in Chicago about six months
ago. DR.. w. G. Rowe, Of Canyon
City, Col, accompanied him to
Phoenix. Mrs Deraylan said she was
married to Deraylan twelve years
ago. She has son thirteen years
Did by a former husband, whose name
she declined to give.
Mrs. Theodore Shangenberg, of No.
700 California avenue, where Deray-
Ian lived for four years, confirmed
the statement that he was married
once before and divorced, marrying
the present Mrs. Deraylan only about
three years ago. Neighbors of the
Deraylans assert that after his second
marriage his first wife created scenes
at his home several times by quarrels
with the second Mrs Deraylan.
Deraylan was the husband of Mrs.
Francis P. Bradchulis, No. 3112 Hal
sted street. She divorced him in Chi
cago three years ago, but was non

DISCREDITs NEGRO TROOPS
In Message Roosevelt Says Texas
Rioters Deserved Death.
Conspiracy Of Silence After Blacklist
Crime--Act of Horrible Atrocity
and Unparalleled For Infamy.

Washington, D G. President
Roosevelt sent to the Senate a reply
to a recent Senate resolution asking
for information on the discharge Of
the three companies Of negro soldiers
because OF the Brownsville (Tex.
episode. IN concluding his brief for
justification in dischargihg the SOL
diers without honor, he says
1t is of the utmost Importance to
all our people that we shall deal with
each man on his merits as q man,
and not deal with him merely as a
member Of q given race; that We
shall judge each man by his conduct
and not his color. This is important
for the white man, and it is far more
important for the colored man.
More evil and sinister counsel
never was given TO any people than
that given to colored men by those
advisers, whether black or white,
who, by apology and conformation, en-
courage conduct such as that OF the
three companies in question II the
c0lored men elect to- stand by criminT
ais of their own race because they
are Of their race they assured1y lay
up for themselves the most dreadful
day OF reckoning
The President also says Il chal-
lenge as a right, the support of every
citizen of this country, whatever his
color, provided only he has in him
the spirit of genuine and far-sighted
patriotism"
The President, whose tone through
out is absolutely incorporating,
says he acted in the exercise Of his
constitutional power and in pursu-
ance of his constitutional duty.
Denying that their discharge was
ordered as punishment. the Presi-
dent asserts that the only adequate
punishment for the Brownsville as
sault is DEATH He declares his keen
regret at not being able to inflict that
penalty
That the shooting up of Browns
vile was done by d party of from
nine to fifteen negro soldiers, the
President says there can be no DOUBT
whatever, and he brands their act
as one unparalleled for infamy in
the annals Of the United States
Army"
They were the agressors from start
to finish, and nothing that had &C.
cured offered in any shape or way an
excuse or justification for their
atrocious conduct.
After breaking from their bar
racks, the President says, they shot
at whomever they saw moving, and
into houses where they saw lights.
They fired into houses where they
must have known there were women
and children. They killed bar
keeper and wounded the lieutenant
of police, who lost his arm.
These raiders, says the President.
were not schoolboys on frolic. Not
withstanding their full warning Of
the consequences, their comrades en-
tered into a conspiracy of silence to
prevent the ends of justice. So it
became necessary to discharge them

William Marsh Rice, an aged and
eccentric millionaire, had been under
the care of physician for some time
prior to the Sunday evening, Septem-
Der 23, 1900, when he was found
dead in the apartment at No. 500
Madison avenue, where he lived with
r secretary-valet, Charles F. Jones.
Accordingly, when this physician, DR..
Walker Curry, was summoned, he did
not hesitate to give a certificate as
signing old age and extreme weak
ness of the heart as the principal
causes of death.
Next day, Albert T. Patrick, an at
torney, who had once appeared as
counsel for litigants opposed to Rice,
took up his quarters at the dead
mans house and assumed control of
the situation, asserting that he was
attorney and friend Of Mr. Rice He
produced a letter bearing what APP
peared to be Rice's signature, direct
ing that, in case of death, his body
be cremated
Within twenty-four hours Patrick
presented at the Fifth Avenue Trust
Company and at the banking house
of Swenson & Sons, checks aggregat-

Rice. Because he had dropped let
ter in spelling mis- own name as en-
dorser, so that it did not agree with
the name on the front of the paper,
the bankers thought it advisable to
call up Mr.. Rice on the telephone.
Then, for the first time, they learned
of their customers death.
The coroner was notified, and
fsa~. r..I - y A
topsy was ordered. Patrick and
Jones were arrested. charged with
having forged the checks which Pat
rick had presented, and also q will
which made the lawyer the residuary
legatee of almost the entire Rice es-
tate, estimated at S7,000,000 or So
100000.
Jones, the valet, broke down and
confessed, not only that Rice had not
signed the documents presented by
Patrick, but that the old man had
been murdered. First, he asserted
that the killing had been done by
Patrick who, he said, had chloro-
formed the millionaire while the lat
ter slept. Later however, while re-
covering from wounds inflicted with
the intention of suicide, Jones said
that he had done the actual killing,
but that he had been instigated by
Patrick, who had planned the whole
AFFAIR.
1t has been estimated that the cost
of the Patrick case to the State and
to himself is in the neighborhood of
$500, 000.
In the years that he has been in
the death house at Sing Sing, nearly
five in all Patrick has seen seventeen
murderers enter the death house to
leave it only to go to the chair.
