ROJeSTyENSKY COURTS DEATH.
Vice Admiral Offers Himself As a Sacrifice
Plea OF Guilty.

Cronstadt (By Cable) In a manly
effort to save the surviving members OF
his staff and the other officers who, he
believed, surrendered the gunboat Redo
vi on account of their affection for their
wounded commander and their desire
to save his life, Admiral Rojestvensky
pleaded guilty before court-martial
In short speech to the court the Adj
miral declared that he took all he blame
on his own shoulders, and asked that
he alone be punished to the fullest eX-
tent OF the law, virtually an appeal for
condemnation and death, which is the
penalty for hauling down the St An
drew's cross to hostile vessel.
All the other defendents, including
Captain dc Colongue, chief or Admir-
al Rojestvensky's staff, and Captain
Baranoff, commandant of the Bedovi,
pleaded not guilty.
The little court room in the marine
headquarters at Cronstadt afforded place
for a small audience, most of whom arc
connected with the navy Among the
spectators in the first row was the wild
ow of Vice Admiral Makaroff, who lost
MS ne on nodru MS HdSsHlp dt IOIl
Arthur in April, 1908, when the vessel
was sunk by Japanese mine. All of
the accused officers except Admiral Ro-
jestvensky were in uniform. The Ad-
miral, who was placed on the retired
list at his own request, was dressed
as civilian. The admiral appeared to
have quite recovered from the wounds
he received in the battle Of the Sea of
Japan.
After he had entered his plea the
taking of testimony began Members
of the crew of the Bedovi will be ex-
amined to determine who ordered the
surrender, the condition of the vessel
and the incidents of the capture. The
taking of testimony will occupy several
days

ASKS COURT TO QuASH VERDICT.
Before the Charge Of Treason First Arose
Auti.Semltsm Relgusd Supreme In Whole
Of Frsnes--Eyefy Act Of Drsyius Regard
cd With SuspieiOn Merely Because lie Was
an israelite.

Paris, (By Cable) -Procurator Gen
eral Baudouin in the Supreme Court
concluded his argument in the Dreyfus
case, formally asking the court to quash
the verdict OF the Rennes court-martial
without rctral.
The peace OF the country the Prose
cuior said, demands it, and the whole
world awaits the courts summary dispo-
sition Of the subject, which will be a
triumph for justice and truth"
Maitre Mornard, counsel for Dreyfus
Immediately began his closing address
The advocate gave a new phase to
the proceedings by cutting loose from
historical details and asserted that anti
semitic hatred had been the primary
cause Of miscarriage OF justice. He
argued that Dreyfus had been con-
victed, not as an individual officer, but
because he was Jew Even before
the charge OF treason first arose anti
semitism had resigned supreme not only
in military circles. but in the whole of
France The ideal of the superior off
GERS at that time was to exclude Israeli
ties from the higher military grades, the
same as had been done in Germany.
However. the continuous and unjus-
tifable attempts Of leading generals to
prevent Dreyfus from becoming a mem
Der of the army staff were unsuccessful.
Dreyfus passed brilliant examinations in
the staff college and entered the minis
try OF war. There he found fanatical
anti-semitism equally rampant His
brother officers treated him from the be-
ginning as likely to be a traitor. Every
act of his was regarded with suspicion
merely because he was an Israelite.
Eventually when the affair of the
treason occurred, the resemblance OF
handwriting was regarded as sufficient
proof Of guilt. In the course both of
the first trial and the revision by the
military Judge the witnesses started out
with the fixed idea that, being Jew,
Dreyfus necessarily was a traitor.
The witnesses did not hesitate to sup
press evidence in his favor and even
committed forgeries in order to estab-
lish his guilt. NJ Monard, however, said
he relied upon the present judges TO act
without bias and quash the verdict with
out a retrial.

BALLOONIsT RESCUED At SEA.
James K. Allen Saved By Fishing
Schooner.

Boston, (SpecialD After one OF the
most remarkable experiences in the his
tory Of aerial navigation, James X. Allen,
the aeronaut, who made balloon ascen-
sion at Providence. on the Fourth OF
July, was brought to this spot FRIDAY
night on the fishing schooner Francis
V. Sylvia. Alien was picked up at sea
II miles off Chatham at 7.3o o'clock,
1877 hours after his departure from Prov
idence.
Allen had a narrow escape from death
by drowning, the wind that prevailed
Wednesday having blown his balloon a
long distance from shore Uutil news OF
his arrival here became known 1t had
been thought that he had met his DEATH
as it was known that a, the last time
he was sighted on "Wednesday evening
he was travelling out TO sea.
That Allen is alive is due wholly. to
a fortunate shift Of the wind. When
he made his ascension at Providence on
Wednesday. the wind was blowing
brisk breeze from the southwest. The
aeronaut was carried in his balloon in
a northeasterly direction and passed over
the town Of Attlcboro. He had MS
balloon under perfect control at that
time. ard while in the vicinity OF At
tleboro he descended twice.
From Attleboro the airship Travelled
in the direction OF Brockton, and the
last seen of the aeronaut by observers
on shore was that he passed over Scitu-
ate early in the evening. .,
At that time the balloon was headed
straight out to sea When Thursday
dawned without any news being received
from Allen. and it became known that
the last time he was seen was wnen ne
was ON the ocean shore headed out TO
sea. it was then believed that he would
never return.
After Allen passed over Massachusetts
Bay his plight was more perilous.
Here he lost his bearings and could
not realize where he was until he passed
over Provincetown and out to sea. This
was at night. He let out 500 feet OF
rope, with drag anchor, which held
him about 100 feet above water. Twice
the balloon came down to the surface
of the sea. but Allen climbed into the
network of ropes each time. 3,
At dawn he saw steamer nearby ana
shouted, but she kept on her course. a
little later tug and barges passed and
the tug answered his hail. but was
unable to keep up with the balloon. At
7.3o in the morning he saw the Sylvia
with two dories out. Men in one OF the
dories caught his drag rope and the
other came to her help. The balloon
dragged both along at a lively clip Tor
while. but was finally held and Allan
slid down the rope into the boat.
The balloon was recovered undamaged.
During his fight Allen covered total
distance Of about 200 miles, nearly half
of which was over water. The point
where he was picked up is about II
miles from Providence in direct line.

INSURED FoR sl0O,OoO ENDS HIS LIFE.
Had Lost Both Limbs aud Had Business
Liabilities Of 100000.

Chicago, ILL.,, (SpeciaD.-Frank D.
Callan, a prominent real estate man, shot
himself through the heart in his resi-
dence at 1906 Sheridan road, dying i'm
mediately At first it was said that de-
spondency over the loss, by accidents,
OF both his lower limbs and threatened
blood poisoning instigated his action, but
later it developed that not only had he
liabilities OF over 100000, which he was
unable to meet, but that he was threat
ened with the penitentiary on charges
Of embezzlemeut and swindling.
The decedent had life insurance to the
amount Of 100000. Attorney S. J. Kerr
Callan's counsel, declared that Mrs. Cal
Ian has deposited life insurance policies
20 the amount OF 100000 with him in
an endeavor to hold off the creditors
