Yokohama, Oct. 25.-The series ol
incomparably brilliant functions that
have characterized Japan's reception
OF the American fleet came to close
here last night with dinner on board
the battleship Full, the guests OF
which were confined to the American

General Count Modzu, and placing q
wreath on the casket.

Shiba palace and the admiral, accom-,
panied by his aides, walked from the
palace to the Shimbashi railway sta.
ton, passing along the Gina, the prin.
cipal street of Tokyo, which was
massed with people. The admiral was
recognized and almost mobbed by tens
of thousands of enthusiastic people,
but everywhere was treated with re.
spect. Along the whole route he was
given an ovation such as is impossible
to describe in words. The tumult was
simply deafening.
Noisy Farewell.
When the special train moved out
of the station there was constant
din, the cheering of the people min.
Cling with the blare of three brass
bands. The route to Yokohama, as
on the occasion of the going of the
Americans to Tokyo, was lined with
school children singing and waving
flags. The same scenes were contin.
ued in Yokohama along the route OF
the Americans to the wharf.

-FOUR BIGAMIIS IN one FAMILY
Woman's Attempt to Get Divorce Re-
veals Amazing Matrimonial
Mix.up

New York. Oct. 27.-A most amaz.
ing story of matrimonial complica-.
lions. including four frankly admitted
bigamies in one family, has come to
light through the attempt of Mrs. Da-
vid Seidel Of No. $50 Grand street..
Brooklyn, to bring divorce action
against her husband a few days ago.
Among some Of the things which
Mrs. Seidel has confessed is that she
married George Longeill, ST., knowing
he had two wives living; married
George Longeill, Jr., her husbands.
son by a previous marriage, without be-
ing divorced; allowed George Longe-
Ill, Jr., while he was still her husband,
to marry her daughter Ida, who was
his own half-sister and daughter of
his own father; married, without d.
vorcing George Longeill, Jr., David
Se1del, her present husband.
Still Another Twist.
Added to all these complications Is.
another. David Seidel, according to
the woman, tired of her and won the
affections of the young wife of her
son, William Longeill. He left Mrs.
Seidel, she says, and went to live With
young Mrs. Longeill.
Mrs. Seidel, when she went to Attor.
ney Andrew ]. Smith to ask him to
get her q divorce, told him nothing
about her previous marriages. She
merely narrated Seiders alleged mis-:
conduct and named young Mrs. Longe.
i'll as correspondent. The attorney
went ahead, served papers upon Sci
del and brought suit in the Brooklyn
supreme court.
When Seidel received the papers he
called upon the lawyer and told him
what he knew about his wife's previ-
GUS marriages and her family history.
Mr.. Smith summoned his client and
she admitted that she had had very
much checkered career. The attorney
thereupon threw up his hands in as.
constituent and abandoned the case.
All Are Church Members.
At present she has no lawyer and
probably will have a hard time in get.
ting one to take her case.
Everybody concerned in the remark
able mix-up is a regular attendant at
one or another of several Brooklyn
churches. The children all go to
school and are bright and clean.
The elders are all fairly prosperous.
They discuss the case and the compli-
Gated relationships with the utmost

Masked Highwaymen Hold Up
Saloon and Kill Man Who
Resists.
CUNNING FIGHT WITH POLICE
One Robber Is Fatally Wounded and One
Of the Policemen Is Wounded
in the Leg.

Chicago, Oct. q. - Two masked
highwaymen Saturday night held up a
saloon at Huron and Wood streets and
shot to death Henry Kern, who joined
in resisting the robbery. A few min.
utes later, in a running revolver bat
tie between the bandits and two po-
ltcemen, one of the robbers was fatal
1y shot and one of the policemen re-.
ceived a bullet in the leg.
Seven Men at Bar.
Seven men were standing at the bar
drinking when the two masked men
appeared. The thieves apparently
were between twenty and twenty-five
years old. It"
glands up!" commanded the des-
peradoes, as they drew their revol-
vers.
A number of the men in the saloon
obeyed the command instantly. 9th
ers demurred. Tie command was
repeated.
Ohlund, who was behind the bar,
had reached for his revolver. The
bandits saw the move. Without mo-.
ment's hesitation they began shooting.
Three shots were fired. One of the
bullets struck Kern. He fell to the
door.
As soon as the other men saw that
Kern was wounded their hands went
up. The bandits worked hurriedly.
From Ohlund they took $500 which he
carried in his pocket and the revolver
from his hand. Other men in the
place were robbed of their watches
and small sums of money.
With command to remain quiet
and refrain from giving an alarm, the
bandits backed out of the door and
then ran down Wood street.
Join in the Chase.
Two of the men in the saloon, after
waiting moment, followed the thugs
out. The robbers were still in sight
and they gave chase. The robbers
had reached the elevated structure
when shot was fired. This attracted
the attention of Fitzgerald, mounted
policeman, and James King, plain
clothes man, who joined the chase.
Fitzgerald was the first to fire. His
first shot struck one of the men in
the back, and with a groan he fell to
the pavement. The other bandit, turn
ing as he ran, fired one shot, which
struck Fitzgerald in the left leg, just
above the ankle. Then the man dis
appeared under the elevated tracks.
The wounded man was searched while
waiting for the ambulance. In the
mans pockets was found the $500
taken from Ohlund and also Ohlund's
watch and revolver.
