Svoboda was arrested at a board
ing house at 131 Pearson street by
Detectives John Thompson and Mike
Farley of the Central squad. James
Wallace, 20 years old, a former bell
boy in San Francisco hotel, who
has been travelling around the coun-
try in the counts" auto as sort of
chauffeur, was arrested with him as
a witness.
Suspicion was attached to the
count" several days ago because he
was peddling about valuable dia-
monds and other jewels in Chicago.
He pawned a number of articles, the
police learned, at Lipman's Loan bank
at 80 Madison street. He attempted
to sell other articles at various Of
flee buildings.
The police have an idea that Svob-
oda is an old crook, which they will
verify as soon as the Bertillion meas
urements have been taken. He has
been in Chicago before. Several years
ago he conducted ten-cent restaur-
ant at 1873 South Ha1sted street,
where he advertised in big letters:
"A full meal for 10 cents.
Later he appeared at San Francis
co as DR." Svoboda. At the Baldwin
hotel in that city he became acquaint-
ed with the bellboy, James Wallace
Svoboda last night expressed great
concern over the boy, declaring that
it was an outrage to arrest him. He
said the boy was his nephew. which
is not the truth.
Letters among his effects showed
that the prisoner was a native OF

CRATIC TICKET OHIO AT
NEXT ELECTION.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 29.-Un-
usual interest is manifested in the
democratic state convention which was
called to order here this forenoon, for
the purpose Of nominating a state tick
ct. OF course, the gubernatorial con-
test is the special feature of interest
in the convention and the bitter fight
which has been waged during the past
few weeks, is sure to be carried into
the convention when the nomination Of
candidate for governor comes up in
the afternoon. The morning session
was devoted to the preliminaries of the
convention, the appointment of COM
mitties and a few addresses. Both
gubernatorial candidates, Governor Cox
as well as General Patterson, have es-
tablished headquarters here and from
early morning both headquarters were
besieged by the friends and supporters
of the respective candidates. While
Shelby county has instructed it's dele
cation for General Patterson, Hamilton
county has sent a delegation instructed
in favor of Governor John l. Cox, and
also favOring w. B. Cleage for railroad
commissioner. Both candidates claim
that enough delegates are instructed to
vote for them to insure their nominal
ton, but those not directly interested
in the contest are of the opinion that
the question is by no means settled and.
no nomination will be possible on the
first ballot. The legal squabble be-
tween the Cox and the Patterson fac
lions in connection with the primaries
has caused considerable bad blood and
a lively contest in the convention is
expected.

CONSTANT cHURNING OF PRO-
PELLERs CAUSES TRIBE TO

EASTPORT, L. l., May 29.-The
fishermen of the Great South Bay,
which has heretofore been one of the
most productive fishing grounds
around Long island, complain that
their business is practically ruined, as
there do not seem to be any more

PRODUCTION of the power boat on the
Great South bay has gradually driven
away the great schools of edible fish
which at this season formerly swarmed
to this section and afforded the native
fishermen a profitable field of employ
ment.
Not in the history Of these waters
has the fishing been so unsatisfactory
as this year. the catches of carp ale
wives and mehaden not being one-fifth
as large as in other years. Many fish
ermen who recently bought expensive
nets and boats have disposed of them
because of the failure of the fishing.
The constant churning of the water by
the rapidly revolving propellers of the
numerous power boats plying in the
bay, tbs believed, has disturbed the
fish to such an extent that they have
deserted the waters of the bay From

similar reports have been received and

been at the scene of the alleged assault
at the time it was committed; that the
sheriff and the police department were
negligent in the performance of their
duty
Two of the men who were lynched
were arrested the day after the woman
made public her story. She was do
mestic who came to Springfield seek
ing employment. According to her
story she was driving with a young
man when two negroes beat her es-
cort into insensibility and dragged her
into a clump of bushes.
Her story was doubted at the time,
but it's publication aroused the rougher
element of the town. The police ar
rested two negroes. The woman said
she could not identify them, but the
men were kept in the county Jail.
A mob, infiamed by the story of the
WOIIldII, duO w a oCAAOS "a SAAAAASo
which had stirred up race hatred
against the blacks, attacked the Jail
with the intention Of lynching every
negro prisoner found there.
The two men arrested on the
strength Of the young woman's story,
now proven false, were dragged from
the Jail to the town square, a distance
Of two miles. There they were hung
to an electric light pillar and allowed
to drop into a bonfire. where they
burned to death. The mob then re-
turned to the Jail where they secured
another negro prisoner who met the
same fate.
A mob of several thousand persons
thronged the square while the ne
groes were being killed. The girl who
started the trouble witnessed the
lynching, but refused to identify the
negroes.

CREW FROZEN TO DEATH
Startling News Received BY uoyd's
In London.
GERMAN STEAMER CAUGHT IN ICE
VESSEL WAS GIVEN UP AS LOST
AND LISTED AS ONE OF
"ovERDUEs."
GERMAN STEAMER CAUGHT IN ICE

LONDON, May 2s.-The startling
news which Lloyds received from
Vladivostok, announcing that the Ger
man steamer Soerabaya, given up as
lost and removed from the list Of "Over-
Dues" given out by Lloyds', has been
discovered frozen in a pack Of ice at
Nikolaiefsk, near the Amur river, has
caused considerable interest in ship
ping circles. According to the meagre
cable, the cOrpses of the crew were
found completely frozen on board the
steamer.
The Soerabaya, which was formerly
a well known Dutch East India steam
err, took a cargo of coal out of Japan
during the Russo-Japanese war, but
afterward entered the services of
the Russian government. The vessel
took a cargo of arms and ammunition
intended for the defence of Vladivo-
stok, but was unable to enter that
port owing to the japanese blockade,
and took refuge in the Amur river.
There, last October, she received Or
ders not to proceed to Vladivostok un-
til after the ratification Of the peace
treaty, and accordingly waited her
time. Shortly afterwards the vessel
disappeared, and nothing is known of
her subsequent movements.
The steamer Erna was dispatched
from Vladivostok during November
last in search of the missing ship, but
returned without having found a trace
of either the steamer or it's crew.
The Soerabaya, which was Of 2,441
tons gross, carried a crew Of some
thirty hands. It is presumed that part
of the cargo, which was valued at
some $25O,OOO, can be saved. An ex-
petition will be sent out to recover
as much as possible of the cargo and
the frozen bodies of the sailors.

ENGLAND IN A HUFF
komura's Appointment os Ambassador
Considered a Diplomatic Snub.

komura's Appointment os Ambassador
Considered a Diplomatic Snub.
LONDON, May 29.-The appointment
of Baron Komura to succeed Viscount
Hayashi as Japanese ambassador to
England is of interest to the United
States because of the sentiment which
is gaining strength among British dip
lomatists that the selection of Ko-
mura is a diplomatic snub on the part
of Japan toward England and a play
to curry favor in America.
The fact that Kato, minister of for
eign affairs, declined to accept the am
bassadorship to England is not re-
garded as having special significance
but there is considerable dissatisfac-
ton here over the action of the Toxic
government in giving publication to
the incident of this contingency COM
bined with the fact that the German
ambassador to Toxic recently was CIV
en- state reception and that KOmura
is a graduate of an American univer-
sity and has been largely affiliated
with American interests, is taken to
indicate that Japan is permitting COM
mercial rivalry between Germany, the
United States and England to figure
in her selection of a diplomatic dele
gate to the latter country.
Japan has been trying to float
large loan in England and has been
much displeased because London bank
ers have not shown enthusiasm to en-
ter into the negotiations. 1t is believed
Japan now will try to obtain the loan
in America, and for that reason is ca
tering to Washington officials in the
selection of Komura.

CHICAGO, May 29-That smoking

STRENGTHENING GENERAL BOARD
Much Speculation Among Naval Men
As to Selection Of Successor to
Endicott.

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 90
Theer is much conjecture among naval
men in regard to the selection of an
officer to succeed Rear Admiral M. T.
EndicOtt, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, when that officer goes on
the retired list in November. 1t so
happens that one of the civil engineers
of senior rank is available for the
duty, and naturally, line officers are
filing their applications for appoint
ment. 1t is recognized that the return
of the bureau to line influence and con-
troll would be an important gain by
the general board, which has much to
do with the public works, the extension
of naval plants and the establishment
of new stations at home and beyond
the seas. Senator Hale is against the
naval general board and he is in oppo-
sition to the army general staff, and
declares that no special advantage
could be derived to the service in its
personnel or material branches by
transferring bureau duties and respon-
sibilities to it. The president, on the
other hand. inclines to the belief that
work would be facilitated and admin
istrtive duties co-ordinated by an en-
largement of the powers Of the general
board, and the majority of naval Of
fcers agree with him.

HENDERSON THROWS AWAY LIQUOR

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90
Many bottles, cobwebby and dusty,
containing WHISTLES, hrandies and cor
dials and wines of rare old vintages,
were broken and the contents allowed
to run into the gotters at Henderson
castle, the home of former Senator Jno
B. Henderson, last night.
Senator and Mrs. Henderson decided
to dispense with their wine cellar
known as one of the best in the city,
and with the aid Of members of the
order of Rechabites, took this method
of destroying their wines. Mr.. Hen
derson entertained members of the
John B. Henderson and Onward tents
of Rechabites at his home. Upon the
arrival of his guests he said:
There has been a bit of a burden
on my mind the last three years about
what to do with the dramshop in our
cellar. Previous to that time we had
been accustomed to serving wines and
liquors, supposing that people in gen.
eral were not physically strong enough
to fully enjoy themselves at dinner
without a poison stimulant. And so
our wine cellar was always abundantly
stocked with the so-called best brands
of wines and liquors.
A destruction committee was ap-
pointed and there was a disposition on
the part of some not to serve, because
of the oath taken not to touch, taste
or handle" intoxicating liquors.
Chief Ruler Cordell said that this
did not apply to destroying liquors,
and as Mrs. Henderson's servants
brought up the bottles from the wine
cellar, they were broken and the Ii
quors were emptied into the gutter,
which ran red with wines. All about
the place the air was redolent with
the aroma of rare old vintages and
blends.
