Purse, Leave Her in Snow.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Two negro
highwaymen beat aged Mrs. Rose Ry-
land, of 122 West Eighty-fourth street,

and then stole s125 from her purse.
The entire force of the newly estab-
lished Harlem branch of the detective
bureau is searching for the thugs.
Two large diamond earrings were
torn from Mrs Ryland's head by the
thieves, who also tore Off a great
part of the lobe OF her ear with the
jewels. Physicians say that her con-
dition is critical.
Mrs. Ryland lay unconscious in the
snow in the street until she recovered
consciousness and staggered to the
home of her daughter. at $40 West
18th street.
Leaving her home to visit her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Louis Van Brink, Mrs. Ryland
was carried past her street by the car.
When she alighted she noticed two ne
groes standing on the sidewalk. As
she neared 18TH street, the two negroes
ran forward and felied her with blow
from a blackjack.
Mrs. Ryland tainted as she reached
her daughters house. her ears terribly
lacerated and deep cash across her
forehead.
So far no arrests have been made.

Japan Makes Former U. S.
Minister Its New
Ambassador.

TOXIC, Dec. 5.-The government has

ceed Viscount Aokl as ambassador at

ing Japan to restrictive legislation as
to emigration to the United States.
But this statement is discounted on
account of the Hochi's well-known con-

mot guilty to each.
According to the papers in the case,
Cohen registered Illegally in the
seventh district of the Fourth Ward
three times and once in the fourth dis
trict of the Fourth Ward.
At the same time he is alleged to
have induced Edward Criqui. Freder-
ick Southard. William Horner and
John Waldron to register falsely. and
the fact that some of these men have
two charges against them brings the
total up to the number OF indictments
named.

ments. Like others who pleaded to
similar charges. he was Jailed for SEN
tenee. One was that he had registered
falsely in the fourth district of the
Fourth Ward and the other in the
seventh district of that ward. Horner
pleaded guilty. to a like offense. COM

Fourth Ward and not guilty to illegal
registration in the seventh district oi
that ward.

guilty were made by William Lear and
John Mcmahon, who were rounded up
at the same time. Their offenses also

SHOW ASHPIT
DIAGRAM TO
THE JURY
introduced After Miniature
Train in Suit Against d.
& W...NO Verdict Today.

In addition to the model of the train
that was shown in the Supreme Court
circuit today at the continuation of the
trial of the action for $4,000 damages
brought on behalf of Adelbertus Kon-
eski against the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Com
pany, because he lost his right arm in
March. 1905, at an a .hpit in Secaucus,
there was shown for the benefit of the
Judge and jury diagram showing the
full-size cross section of the northerly
half of the much-disputed ashpit. The
diagram was fully eight feet high and
more than twice as long, occupying the
whole uppr right-hand end of the
court room.
James Clark. an expert civil en-
gineer, explained not only the model
showing how ashes We're dumped, saw
dust being used on the toy train, but
also the big diagram, the largest with
in the recollection of the oldest court
attache.
William Erven, a hostler, whose duty
it is to take care of engines and clean
them after run, occupied the witness
stand for several hours and testified for
the company, whose ueIenSe OF con-
tributory negligence was outlined yes
terday by Attorney-General Robert II.

people.
Erven told how, after the accident,
Konesk was picked up by train
crew and placed on an engine that was
hurried to Hoboken, so that the MANNED
man could pe treated in a hospital

asked how he was hurt, and he said he
was reaching for the hose, but there
was so much smoke that he couldn't
see the engine coming that hit him."

FEAR SAFETY
OF TORPEDO
FLOTILLA
Giant BattIeship May Be
Caught in Terrific
Virginia Gale.

NORFOLK. Va, Dec. 5-The wind
reached a maximum velocity at Cape
Henry in last nights coast storm OF
sixty miles an hour. This was at f2:1C
o'clock. 1t blew from the northwest
and drove seaward rather than toward
the shore any vessels that may have
been caught in its teeth, and no wrecks
have been reported from the coast.
The wind at the hurricane velocity
1t reached carried before it everything
movable on shore. and it is feared that
much havoc was wrought at sea, es-
peclally among sailing vessels passing
along in the coastwise trade. Vessels
in port for the past day or two had
warning and did not put to sea.
Weather Observer Newsom at Cape
Henry reported today that none of the
battleships of the Atlantic-Pacific-b bound
fleet had passed in the Virginia Capes since
the arrival of the Louisiana on Tuesday.
Several Of the big battleships are heading
for Hampton Roads from northern ports
and had severe experiences; they were
caught within the radius of last night s
gale. The Kansas from Philadelphia is be-
lieved to have certainly been caught in the
storm
The severity of the gale has caused some
anxiety TO be felt for the safety of the six
little vessels composing the Pacitic-bound
second fotilla Of torpedo-boat destroyers,
which sailed from Hampton Roads Monday
for San Juan. P. r. With three days
start however. the little torpedo-boat de-
stroyers Whipple, Truxton, Lawrence.
Hull, Stewart and Hopkins may have got
ten sufficiently far away to escape the
storm.
