hospital care; no place could be found
for the wife and the only alternative was
to take the woman to the county Jail.

Naval Budget Too Large for
the Duma.
CABINET OPPOSES PROGRAM
Count Avarof Says his Party Has
Been Given to Understand That the
Duma VII be Dissolved il the Ap-
preparation is Rejected.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 24.-The
conflict between the emperor and the
Duma over the naval progress which
entails an expenditure OF $s00,0O0,00O
is steadily developing in direction
unfavorable to the realization OF, the
cmperor's ambition. The scheme,
which NJ. Kokovoff, the minister
Of finance. pnivately declared spelled
ruin to Russian finances has met op-
position in unexpected quarters. At
a meeting held last week of the coun-
Gil OF imperial defense, under the pre-
sidency of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholasievitch, representatives Of
the army operated a regular campaign
against the program. The grand
duke himself declared that in his opin-
ion the navy was in an anarchistic and
a hotbed OF mutinies, unworthy to be
entrusted with such enormous sums
for new construction,
The cabinet, which almost unani-
mously opposes the naval programme,
has privately passed the hint among
the conservatives in the Duma, en-
against the programme in order to
influence the emperor, whose mind
hitherto has appeared to be set in its
ful6llment.
A brother OF Premier Stolypin, in
an article in the Novoe Vremya, Bit
terly arraigns the lethargy of the ad-
miral and declares that $40000,000|
now included in the yearly budget of
the navy is thrown to waste. It'll
would be much better, he says, to 1
abolish the feet altogether, devotingI
this sum to other uses. He accuses
the admiralty of putting forward al
involving great expendi-
lures without possessing the vaguest
idea OF up-to-date naval design and |
construction technique.
The emperor is preparing dis
course in favor Of the programme
which he will deliver before an au-
dience of Octoberists early in Feb.
ruary. Count Avaroff, one of the DC. |
toberist leaders, in an interview says
hat his party ha sheen given to under
stand that the Duma will be dissolved
i the programme is rejected; never
theless he believes that a majority Of
he Octoberists are determined to
'',te against the government. 7

he CONFEssEs THE FORGERY
He Will be Prosecuted in Chicago
Where the Draft Was Cashed -
Probably May Plead Guilty and
Take His Punishment.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Word was re-
ceived here today by the Pinkerton
Detective Agency Of the arrest by
one Of their men near Jacksonville,
Fla, Of Turie Nordstrom, wanted in
Chicago for the passing Of forged
check for $4,000 on the First Ma
tional Bank, of this city. Nordstrom
was bank clerk in Astoria, Or, and
coming here with a draft for S. from
the First National Bank OF Astoria,
raised the draft to $4,000 and OBJ
tanned part Of this sum in cash from
the First National Bank Of Chicago
and the remainder in drafts, he con-
verted them into London drafts and
letter of credit at the National
Bank OF the Republic Of this city.
He was arrested while cruising on
a small yacht that he had purchased
at Brunswick, Fla. He has admitted
his identity and confessed to the for
gerry. An officer will be sent today to
bring him to Chicago for prosecution
He left his home in Astoria with
the avowed intention Of going to
Portland. On the streets of that city
he met the cashier Of his bank one
evening and informed him that he
would not return to Astoria until
Monday. On Monday he wrote the
bank that he had been called TO
Pendleton and would not return for
several days. In that way he reached
Chicago before suspicion was aroused.
On his arrival in Chicago he had
little difficulty in obtaining money,
although is was during the worst
period OF the stringency. He took,
in return for the $4,000 draft, $500
in cash, and for the balance purchas-
ed drafts on San Francisco, London
and Norwegian bank.
A strange feature OF the case is
the fact that one OF the drafts he or
dered made out in favor of his wife's
sister in Norway. He had never seen
his sister-in-law and his motive for
sending her money is unknown.
From Chicago he went direct to
San Francisco Pinkerton men traced
him to that place and back to Ogden,
Utah. From Ogden he went to Salt
Lake City, and from there direct to
New York. From New York he went
south, and at Brunswick, Ca, had one
Of his drafts cashed. AT that place
he purchased yacht and travelled
leisurely down the coast towards
Florida.
The Pinkerton office in Cincinnati,
o., received notice of his cruise, and
i detective was sent after him imme-
liately, He had little difficulty in To-
