he deserted here, OF $500. He left
scores OF debts. 1t is charged that he
secured money from several cOnfding

When He Surrendered
His Fleet.

KRONSTADT, Russia, July 10.-Ad-
miral Rojestvensky. whose trial on the
charge of having surrendered to the
enemy after the battle of the Sea Of
Japan, was begun before a court-mar-
tial here on July 4, was acquitted today
after the court had deliberated for
nearly ten hours.
The officers of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi, who were placed on
trial with the admiral. were found
guilty Of having premeditated sur
rendered the Bedovi, and all four were
condemned to death by shooting. But
on account of extenuating circumstan-
ces the Emperor will be requested to
commute the sentences of the four Of
ficers to dismissal from the service and
deprivation of certain rights which
they would otherwise enjoy.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.-The full
report of the Kronstadt court-martial
acquitted on the ground that he was
not in his full senses and therefore was
not accountable for what occurred at
the time of the surrender.
Some of the officers who were tried
with Rojestvensky were acquitted,
their guilt not being proved.
The recommendations for mercy in
the case of Captain Decolongue, chief
of Rojestvensky staff; Captain Baran-
off. of the torpedo boat destroyer Bed
owl; Fillipovsky and Leontief, who
were found guilty and sentenced to be
shot. were in accordance with the reg
ulations and based on the physical and
mental Generalization produced by the
long voyage and the shock of disaster
in battle. They were also credited with
desire to save the life of Rojestven-
sky.

AGED CALIFORNIAN GETS
Slice OF Big ESTATE
Compromise Ends Contest Over
viii of Francis Asbury
Palmer Of New York.
spEc1AL p1spATcH TO THE cArL.

NEW YORK, July 1o.-With the pay
ment of $4,000 to the heirs of Frank
Asbury Palmer who contested his will
litigation over his estate, which began
soon after his death on November /
1902, has been terminated. His estate
has just been appraised. This litigation
proved costly. The expenses. including
lawyers fees, amounted to S160,000. Mr..
Palmer's estate was figured at $963,049,
but this was reduced to $737,16S be-
cause of a Judgment for $113,902 as
the commissions to the executors, sS2,-
900 of administration expenses and
$2S,214 of debts
Mr. Palmer for f1fty-two years was
president of the National Broadway
Bank and was 92 years old when he
died He left a small annuity to his
older brother, remembered religious
and charitable institutions that he was
interested in and left his residuary for
tune to the Francis Asbury Palmer
fund, which was organized before he
died for the support of home missions,
ministers and churches.
The residuary estate amounts to
s735,000. but this will be reduced to less
than s60O,0oO by litigation and the com
promise. Mr.. Palmers older brother
was the chief mover in the fight over
the will and came from California to
make the contest.

MAY ORDER A SEARCH
FOR ST. PETERS BODY
Pope Likely to Authorize an Ex-
ploration of Sacred Tomb
in the Vatican.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

ROME. July TO- - A pseudonymous
pamphlet recently addressed to the
Pope doubling the existence of st. Pc
ter's body in his tomb at the Vatican
and suggesting the exploration of the
burial place has been answered by Pro-
fessor Marucchi and Father Grisar. Both
admit that there is doubt and hope that
the Pope will soon authorize a yerifica-
ton.
The doubt originates from a passage
in letter written in, 1927. when the
troops of the Constable de Bourbon
sacked Rome. stating that the tomb
was then desecrated
It,wa declared by a Cardinal today
that unless the truth were soon ascer-
tanned the question was bound to result
in many controversies harmful to the
church, hence it was expedient that the
tomb should be explored.
The Pope appears to be undecided
but he may consent. although ID is un-
likely that the result Of the researches
will be made public unless the doubt
be absolutely removed.

PITTSBURG, July 10.--It was learned
here today that a witness who will ap-
pear in the Thaw case when it comes
to trial in New York will be Paul Dorm
of Williamsburg, a suburb of this city
whom Harry Thaw took to Europe four
years ago. Dorm said he had been in
structed to keep his mouth shut and
not to say a word until he had heard
from Thaw's attorneys. When asked
when he expected to go to New York
Dorm said:
II don't know. but I am ready to &c
whenever Mrs. Thaw is willing to give
me an interview, and l won't talk
either in court or out OF ii, until have

valet whom Harry Thaw engaged al

Yes. did. and it is too bad that Bed

Dorm was asked what he meant by
that. and he said:

he had lived and could tell all the
things he knew 1t would not look sc
rosy for Harry Thaw."
How do you know Bedford knew al
these things?"

MARRIAGE OF HIS SON
PLEASES EDISON.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK. July 1o.-Thomas A.
Edison Jr. and a bride to whom he
was married secretly last Saturday are
today enjoying their honeymoon at
some seaside or mountain re-
sort, the whereabouts of which
is being withheld from friends
Enhancing the romance in the case
is the fact that this second marriage of
the wizards" heir it is said, will com
plete a reconciliation between son and
father and an estrangement of several
years standing, which began when
the younger Edison married his first
wife and was only partially bridged
over when she died two years ago
The young mans second marriage
took place in the parsonage of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church in Tren-
ton. where he was united to Mrs. Mont
gomery, also known as Miss Beatrice
NJ. Heyser.
Seven years ago young Edison mar
ried Marie Tuohey, remarkably pretty
chorus girl, and, as the elder Edison
refused TO receive his daughter in law
in his home. an estrangement followed.
which was characterized by both fam
lily and business chickering's of an un-
pleasant nature, in which the sons in
herited genius for invention and his
sharing of his fathers name assumed
prominence.
This marriage of my daughter and
young Edison will bring about per-
feet reconciliation between him and
the old gentleman" said Mrs Heyser.
The only trouble between them was
the first wife, who was a chorus girl
and with whom young Edison lived un-
happily. My daughter was his trained
nurse for two years, and both FAINT
lies have been expecting that a mar
riage would result The senior Mr.
Edison, I understand, is much attached
to my daughter. and the marriage will.

which he has entertained"

BOMBS IN PALACE GARDEN.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 1o.-There
was wild CONSERVATION at the I'm
perial Palace at Peterhof today fol-
lowing the discovery in the garden Of
the palace OF several bombs filled with
dynamite. The excitement and dread
were indescribable. It was obvious
that the bombs must have been placed
there by some one connected with the
palace. either as officer, guard or serv-
ant, and every one equally was under
General Trepof. the commandant.
Immediately put into motion all The
machinery Of his Office TO discover the
culprit. but thus far without result
IN the meantime the person of the
Car is being more rigidly guarded
than ever, If increase of precaution is
possible.
Professor Paul Melukof appears to
be the man upon whom the Constitu-
tional Democrats are uniting for Pre-
mier, in the event OF the formation of
a constitutional Democratic ministry.
NJ Naboukoff. the leader OF the Con-
stitutional Democrats in Parliament,
was most outspoken in favor of Pro-
fessor Melukoff declaring that he was
the most sensible and clear headed
statesman the party could produce and
in every way fitted to assume the re-
sponsibility Of the premiership. Ma
boukoff intimated that the Constitu-
tional Democrats would lay no claim
70 the portfolios OF war, navy and for
eign affairs. which are regarded as
within the imperial prerogative, but
like every other Constitutional Demo-
crat, he insisted that no Cabinet with
q bureaucratic head was admissible.
The labor group in the lower house
OF Parliament declares IL has absolute
proof that orders have been sent from
St Petersburg to the police authorities
in the province of Saratov to fire on
gatherings addressed by members Of
Parliament after the prorogation of
that body. II is asserted that the or

DISAPPOINTS POSSE

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


MADEIRA. July 10.-The pursuit of
the Yosemite road agent still con-
tinues. The trails over the mountains
leading from the scene of the hold-up
have been carefully followed by keen
eyed officers who are intent on dis
covering some clew which might lead
them to the lair of the bandit. Some
disappointment was felt over the out
come of the investigation of Jack
Sweet, the man who was placed under
arrest yesterday He furnished ire
futable evidence that he was not the
man wanted and was turned loose.
The officers took UP other clews and
have been working on them with the
tirelessness of bloodhounds. They be-
lieve that before long the desperate
bandit will be behind bars. No news
of any kind has been received here of
the chase since Sweet was discovered
to be the wrong man, and it looks very
much as if the officers will have to
give up the chase without having
brought to book the mysterious knight
of the road who has on two occasions
robbed stages on the way to the Yo
semitic. The officers have not the
slightest doubt that the same man is
responsible for both hold-ups.
The absence of news from the
sheriffs is regarded favorabIy, for their
silence is taken as sign that they
are at work upon some clew that is
bearing fruit. Should many days pass
without any news of the capture Of
the road agent the fear is expressed
that the officers will be compelled to
return empty handed.
1t is believed that the hold-up was
committed by some resident of the vi
cinity of Ahualmea. If the present
search is unsuccessful it is just possi-
BILE that after excitement dies out the
culprit may let some word fall which
may lead to his undoing. If a stranger
held up the stage he has before this
time made his escape and 1t will be
difficult to locate him. At the present
time all is conjecture.
