JAPAN IS WATCHING.
The Negotiation Between This Coun.
try and Russia.

Toxic, April Negotiations be-
tween America and Russia concern
ing the administration of affairs at
Harbin are being closely watched by
Japan. The alarmist newspapers
suggest Japanese administration of
South Manchuria as the real object
of American action. The sensation
'alists connect the coming of the
American fleet with possible future
representations concerning South
Manchuria.
A Washington special says the gov
ernment has decided to oppose the
action of Russia and Japan in Man
.churia. A dispatch from Harbin
quotes Consul Fisher as saying that
the American government on it's own
initiative demands the abandonment
of Japan's present status in Man
churia. These kilograms have arous.
ed much comment. The Japanese for
eign Offices, however, refuse to accept
the sensationalist view and said tc
the Associated Prass that it is not
prepared to believe that the Ameri-
can government is opposed to Japan's
present attitude in South Manchuria
1t is believed here that the report
quoting the Washington officials il
not founded on fact and is circulated
for the purpose of creating a fresh
cause of ill feeling.

THOMAS PLANS.
Rear Admiral Will Not Go to Con
necticut Permanently.

Magdalena Bay, April 2, via San
Diego, April Rear Admiral
Charles M. Thomas, temporarily in
command of the Atlantic feet since
the departure of Admiral Evans is
busily engaged getting the multi
tudinous affairs of the fleet in
hand. Il shall not remove perma-
nently to the Connecticut" said Ad-
miral Thomas tonight. | shall take
with me only what ] shall require
for a few weeks, maintaining my
quarters on the Minnesota in case I
shall wish to come back to them. 1t
is Admiral Evanss intention to re-
join the fleet as soon as he is able
to do so.
Admiral Thomas made the follow
ing pronouncement regarding pub
licity affecting the fleet.
1T always has been my belief that
the public is entitled to know
everything concerning the navy
that is consistent with its welfare
There are, of course, many matters
of technical nature which must be
kept secret from foreign powers but
these are usually of kind in which
the country would not be interested
particularly any way.
O.. 1T is the peoples navy. This is
the peoples fleet. There is no rea-
son why we should conceal from
them what we are doing so long as
essential military secrets are kept
intact. l think 1t would be better
for the people of the country and
better for the navy If they knew
each other more intimately"

WALSH'S RAILWAY.
It May Have to Bear the Brunt o
Legal Battle.

Chicago, April John r. Walsh
Illinois Southern railway is to bear
the brunt of the first legal struggle
over the constitutionality of the two
cent passenger rate law in Illinois.
IL the contenting of the attorneys
for the road are sustained by the
which has been accepted by all the
more powerful roads in the state will
be knocked out by the Walsh line
which is one of the shortest lines in
Illinois.
Armed with supreme court deci-
sions of recent date which purport tC
sustain their argument, attorneys fol-
the Illinois Southern line appeared
before Judge B. r. Burroughs of the
circuit court yesterday and present.
ed figures to support their assertions
that the law was confiscatory.
The whole. case grew out of a
claim of John Meyer of Sparta, Ill
amounting to 80 cents. Ordinarily
the case would have been tried in the
federal court, but because all the
tracks of the road are within the
boundary of Illinois, the state courts
have jurisdiction. Attorney w. T.
Abbott of Chicago spent just two
hours in presenting books and rec
ords of the road with which he ex.
poets to prove the unconstitutionality
of the law. The tables which he pre-
sented exhibited the business of the
road for the first four months under
the new law and showed that the ac-
tual cost of carrying passengers was
3 1-2 cents a mile.

BODY IN QUARRY.
Man Supposed to Be Murdered Found
in SOuthbury.

A man known as Frank Scluskie is
thought to have been murdered in
Southbury within the past few days,
for yesterday afternoon his body was
found in pool in a quarry. The
pool was about twenty feet deep and
ordinarily there is no water in it, as
it is nothing more than a big hole,
but recently it has filled up. An
ugly scalp wound was found over the
eye and it is thought that the VIC
tim was badly beaten and then
thrown into the hole. The body was
discovered by gang of workmen
in the employ of the New England
Quartz Co while working in The quar-
ry near Roxbury Falls. their sus-
picions were aroused by hat which
they found floating on the pool, and
they Immediately proceeded to pump
out the water and also eadeavored
to locate the body with graphing
hooks. After about three hours
work they hit the corpse witt a hook
and when they pulled it up one of
the men recognized the dead man as
Scluskie. The last seen of ocluskie
was two days ago, when ne left his
home for walk with two foreigners.
1t is believed that the man vas mur-
dered because the place where he
was found is lonesome spot and
the quarry has not been worked in
some time. The dead man left a
wife and two children. 1he local
police have not been asked to do any
thing on the case.

MRS LYNEHAN'S SUIT.
Withdrawn From Republican Club
and Placed Against Officers.

A change has taken place in the
suit of Mrs Rosanna Lynehan against
the republican party for damages OF
$4,000 for the death of her husband
from injuries sustained in the co.,
lapse of floor in Andrew Keneally's
house on Farm street during a rally
one Saturday night before the last
city election. Mrs Lynehan with
draws the complaint against the re-
Attorney U. G. Church, its chairman;
Walter w. Holmes, treasurer, and
Joseph H. Reid, secretary all defend
ants, along with Keneally the owner
of the building. Through her coun-
sci, Attorney John O'NeiIl, Mrs Lyn-
chan alleges there has been an asso-
citation in this city since 1861 called
the Republican party" and that il
has membership of 1000. She says
it would be impracticable and un-
reasonably expensive to make each OF
these 1000 men defendants in the
suit.
She alleges, which no one can
deny, that the object of the defend
ants is to secure public Office and the
emoluments and profits therefrom
and that they should have known the
supports of the Keneally building
were rotten when they leased it.
Lynehan avs badly hurt and burn
ed in the collapse and he died on Oc-
tober 20, fifteen days after the acci.
dent.

JONES, THE TRAMP.
Marries Again, After Being Divorced
Only Few Weeks.

Chicago, April Previous mar
itial troubles evidently had no ter
rors for Walter Newton Jones,
known far and wide as a tramp i'm
personator. Neither do the laws of
Illinois bother the actor to an ap-
preciable degree, for he was married
yesterday to Miss Blanche Lillian
Pixley only a few weeks after his
previous wife divorced him in the
Illinois courts.
Miss Blanche Lillian Pixlcy, the
bride, is none other than Blanche
Deyo, famous as dancer ana vaude-
vile artistic. She also was recently
divorced. Jones and she are play
ing together in vaudeville. The lat
est knot was tied for the actor at
Crown Point, Ind, by Judge marry
B. Nicholson. The bride is resi-
dent of Chicago and knows all about
Mr. Jones's matrimonial experiences.
1t is understood that he still re-
tains his residence here, and IL so
he runs counter to the recent decis-
ion of Judge George A. Carpenter,
who interprets the statute barring
re-marriage within a year to have
force over wedding performed out
side the state.
Less than two months alo. Jones
was legally separated from his wife,
formerly Mrs Frederick King Pulsi-
fer, originally Miss Beatrice Cham
plin. Mrs Jones fled her suit on
February 4 and obtained her decree
of divorce largely though evidence
relating to a love affair which in.
volved vaudeville actress whose
name did not appear in public ac-
counts of the divorce proceedings.

AFTER 80 YEARS
Picture Taken From Body Of
Union Soldier at Battle OF
Charlottesville.

New York, April Taken from
the body of a union soldier on the
battlefield of Charlottesville da.
guerreotype of young man a girl
has been returned to the girl in the
picture. After search lasting thir.
ty-three years. The search has been
conducted by Edgar M. Whitmour,,
retired freeholder of Paterson, N. j.
His wife's father, Nicholas Barnes,
member of a New Jersey regiment,
was captured in the civil war and the
daguerreotype was given to him by
a confederate to send north. On the
back of the case were the names oil
John Rawson and Nellie Augusta
Nettleton. Mr. Whitnour for year.
has been trying to trace these names
and locate if possible the woman
whose likeness was presented. Re-
Gently the history of the Nettleton
family was consulted and the result
was the finding of a claimant for tho
picture. Nellie Augusta Nettleton
was finally located in the person OF
Mrs T. S. Stowe of Milford, Conn. The
daguerreotype taken in her youth il
now in her possession.

ETHEL MAKES TROUBLE.
Captain Lee and Locomotive Engi.
neer Guilty of Aiding 1t.

Washington, April When
Captain Fitzhugh Lee, military at
tache of the president and courier
for the tour of Mrs Roosevelt in the
south, helped Miss Ethel Roosevelt
into the cab of an engine he made a
tactical mistake. ..,,.....,.,,.
Armed with one of those good in
sentions that are substituted for as
phalt, on account of the heat, in at
least one locality, he aided, abetted
and, it is feared, encouraged the
daughter of the president in her de-
sire to ride in the cab of the engine
that was drawing the party to At
lanta.
The immediate result was exag-
gerated publicity. Mr. Roosevelt
draws clean-cut line on this point
He recognizes that as president Of
the United States he is to a very
large extent public properly. and
that any individual of the 90,000,-
000-even a newspaper man-is en-
titled to take some liberties with
him.
But 1t Is we'll known in Wash
ington that when any comment or
undue publicity is given to the pres
ident's family the president regards
1t as an unwarranted Intrusion.
There is no dispute of the fact that
Miss Ethel rode on the engine, but
that she drove it for that time, is
not supported by inquiries here,
even after Miss Ethel has returned.
Engineer Still of Atlanta may
also expect a certificate of member
ship in the Undesirable association,
in that he, also with the best of in
tentions, has talked too much. En-
thused by the fact that the young
lady rode a short distance In his
cab, he has proposed that Miss
Roosevelt be made an honorary
member of the Engineers Union. In
support of his purpose he has, If cor
rectly quoted, become eulogistic Of
Miss Roosevelt, using in his eulogy
what is said in the dispatches to be
engineers slang"
In the incident itself 1t is not
likely that the president has found
anything Objectionable. 1t was only
the natural desire of youth to do
something a little daring. The en-
gineer and the newspaper men who
saw "a good story" in the incident
are the real offenders.
But some one in charge should
have foreseen possibilities. Captain
Lee was In charge.

KING C0NFERS KNIGHTHO0DS
New Titles Of Statesmen May Fore
shadow Changes In Cabinet.

London, April 1T 10 announced
that the king has conferred Knightship
of the Garter upon the Earl Of Crewe,
lord president of the council, and
Knightship of the Thistle upon Lord
Tweedmouth. These are regarded as
Premier Campbell l-Bannesman's last
recommendations to his majesty and
may also indicate change in the port
folios of these ministers.
The Daily Chronicle in an editorial
on the awkwardness of the kings abb
sence says that Sir Henry's resignation
was postponed for time in the belief
that the king wound find 1t convenient
to return to London.
"His absence at such critical time"
says the paper, may be due to a rea-
son of which we know nothing, but 1t
looks as though the king had made the
first mistake of a reign hitherto unin-
terruptedly successful and popular"
Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith,
who Will be prime minister, has gone
to Biarritz to see King Edward In re-
sponse to the latter's summons.
Parliament has been adjourned until
April IL to enable the issue OF writs
for the reelection of new ministers SO
as to have the elections during the
Easter recess. A meeting of the Lib
raj party is expected TO be called at an
early date. at which Asquith will make
a declaration of policy and invite the
party to ratify IT. This meeting will
give formal confirmation and recogni-
tion of Asquith as the new leader Of
the party.
In his letter of resignation to the
king Sir Henry advised his majesty to
summon Mr.. Asquith. The latter, in
fact, has no rival for the leadership Of
his party and the government. His
accession to the premiership undoubt-
edly will sooner or later lead to sweep
Ing changes in the constitution of the
lste ministry. but In the unprecedented
circumstances OF the British premier
rssigning during an important session
Of parliament It Is quite possible that
the new premier will content himself
with the absolutely necessary changes,
leaving further reconstruction until the
weighty measures now before parlla-
ment are disposed of, this the more
especially in view OF the desIrability
OF avoiding as far as possible byelec-
tions, which would be necessitated By
appointing men to new Offices.

MRS CARRIERS MONEY.
Hearing on Protest of Will i'm Pro-
bate Court To-day.

The will of the late Mrs Sarah
E. Carter, who lived on the Thorn
aston road, was bone of conten-
ton in the probate court to-day.
Mrs Carter was the widow of the
late Daniel E. Carter and mother of
Mrs Jennie E. Barnes and Mrs
George Ford, wife of the postmas-
ter of Waterville. Her estate
amounts to about $4,000. She
was taken sick about last Thanks
giving time and died in December.
The contested will was drawn up by
Attorney Wilson H. Pierce a short
time before her death and it is
claimed that Mrs Carter was unable
to make a will at that time because
she was under undue influence and
unsound in mind.
The Fords claim they were prac-
tlcally cut off without a penny and
that the same fate was meted out
to Mrs Carters grandchildren
Gladys and Fred H. Hatch.
Mrs Carter left in trust with Mrs
Barnes gold watch for both the
grandchildren, to be delivered TO
them when they were 25 years of
age. Gladys is also left a piece of
land which is said to be worth about
$500. Their care and maintenance
is given over to their aunt Mrs
Barnes and If either or both die be-
fore they reach the age of 25 their
legacy shall become the property of
Mrs Barnes. On the other hand if
Mrs Barnes fails to properly provide
for the grandchildren she shall re-
ceive but two-thirds of the property
and the balance goes to her sister,
Mrs Helen H. Ford on conditions
that she provide for the grandchil-
dren. Otherwise the balance is hers.
II is claimed the grandchildren
would receive what they have been
bequeathed, anyway, the watches in
question having been the property
OF their parents. Fred is about 20
and Gladys is younger. The contest
kept Judge Lowe in the probate
court all day.
The executor is Henry H. Slough
ton and the witnesses to the will
We're Ruth Sloan, Charles B., and
Charles M. Everitt.

RELEASED FROM JAIL.
But Officer Was Awaiting Him on
Another Charge.

Angelo Sparzo, who has been doing
time in the New Haven Jail was
much pleased this morning when he
looked out and saw that it was a
balmy summers day. For to-day he
realized that he would say goodbye
to the Whalley avenue building. But
Angelo had another think. He was
no more than released than he was
again arrested as he is wanted in this
place on charge of burglary. He is
accused of breaking into a tailoring
shop on Scovill street. His accom-
plices are now in the New Haven Jail
awaiting trial in the superior court.
Angelo was brought to this city by
Patrolman Maurice Noonan. This is
the second time that he has been ar
rested just as he was released from:
jail. He is on very intimate terms
with the police because of frequent
though not voluntary visits to the
station house.
