CHUKNIN.
SHOT BY ASSASSIN,
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Toward Sailors
Who Mutinied Caused
Attacks on Him.

SEBASTOPOL. Russia, July 12-Vice
Admiral Chuknin. commander OF the
Black Sea fleet, who was shot yester-
dag by a sailor while taking a walk
IN the garden OF his villa, died at l
o'clock this morning The vice admiral
did not recover consciousness after be
ing taken 10 a hospital following the at
tack made upon him.
Vice Admiral Chukin was hated by
the sailors and revolutionists alike be-
cause Of his severity. The mutiny Of
last June and July on the battleship
XMAS Potemkln was attributed TO his
harshness in dealing with the men
under his command.
He had been marked out as a victim
Of the terrOrists for some time. On
February 9 last a woman tried TO kill
him. She gained access TO his office
and shot him four times, but he re-
covered. When the vice admiral ap-
proved the death sentences of the
mutineers from the XMAS Potemkin he
was warned that the terrOrists were
only waiting their time to kill him. The
murder is laid at the door OF the men
who had threatened his life before.

That these advantages are potential.
rather than actual. is usually ascribed
10 the lack OF initiative of Washing
toms own people. The law OF inertia de-
clares that body once at rest will re-
main forever In that position. unless
set in molten by some external force.
So far as Washingtons jobbing trade
is concerned. the Shippers Association
expects 10 become that external force.
Material increases in the volume OF this
business. IN its variety and IN the ease
and profit Of its transactions are conf

life of the community.
Committee Meeting Only.
The meeting this afternoon Is OF the

tiOn. The associations first meeting will

Something Of this sort is certainly

step IN the right direction is being taken
at the meeting this afternoon

indicted, controlling IS per cent Of
the ice business of the District of
Columbia, ended their competition
with each other on or before April

combine, and eonspire that they,
the said American Ice Company and
the said ChapIn-Sacks Manufactur-
ing Company would thereafter
charge the same price for ice which

GIRLS STORY OF
AWFUL CRIME
New Jersey Farmer Charged With
Assaultllg Two S.epdaughter.
ONE TOLD AND WAS MURDERED

Mount Holly. n. j., Jan. lS.-Albert
J.. Jones. farmer living near Ran
tocas Park. about four miles from this
place. was arr, stei and lodged In the
county Jail On the charge of having as
saulted and murdered his step.daugh-
ter. Mary Clark. about three weeks
ago. The girl was years OF age. and
II is alleged that when she threatened
to make public his assault upon her
he choked her To death. then tied q
into the Rancocas creek. When the
girl failed To return home IL was re-
ported that she had run away; also
that she had been kidnapped.
Her sister. Carrie Clark. aged Z.
soon afterward went to visit rela-
tive. Mrs Minnie Baldwin. OF Camden.
10 whom she told the story of the
tragedy. and also that she had been
assaulted by her step-iather. Mrs.
Baldwin came TO Mount Holly and laid
the facts before Prosecutor Atkinson.
Two hours later Jones was arrested.
He refuses to make any statement.
The creek will be dragged for the
childs body Jones wife was also ar
rested for com sicity in the crime.
Mrs. Baldwin found Carrie TO be In
poor health when she arrived In Cam
den. and Dr. j. T. White was called in
to attend her. For n time the physi-
elan was unable to diagnose the little
ones ailment. although he suspected
from her manner that she was con-
cealing something that would aid him.
On gaining her confidence. he per-
suaded her to tell exactly what she was
suffering from. The child stated that
she and her 9-year-old sister had been
crlminally assaulted by her stepfather.
Dr. White examined her and found
her statement so far as her symptoms
were concerned correct. He pressed
her for details OF the outrage. and the
little one then revealed the tale which
has set the police on edge.
She said that after she and her sister
had been assaulted they were warned
with threats OF instant death not to
say anything about what had occurred.
The older girl refused TO remain quiet,
whereupon Jones cut off one OF her
fingers at the joint. This failed TO
have the desired effect so the fend
cut her throat tied stone to her body
and droppod the corpse into the creek.
