REPORT ANNEXATION OF
KOREA TO ITO'S SPIRIT
Son of Japanese Prince Receives
Odd Telegram

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 16.-"Make
a report of the treaty of annexation
of Korea to the spirit of the .late
prince, your father
This was the unique telegram sent
by Viscount Terauchi, governor gen.
eral of Korea, to Prince Ito's son, fol-
lowing the publication of proclama-
tion of annexation, according to ad-
vices received by the steamer Tamba
Maru today. A special envoy was sent

of the late prince in order to announce
the amalgamation.
Imperial messengers also were sent
to announce the fact at the shrines of
Ise and at the tombs of the founder
of the Japanese dynasty and of the
reigning emperor's father
The farewell proclamation of the
Korean emperor was a pathetic docu-
ment. 1t ended with the statement:
do not think we have abandoned
YOU. Our desire was but to relieve
your straitened conditions to Sc
cure the peace of the Orient and the
welfare of the people Of Korea who
are Verging on starvation"

RUSSIAN PRISON
CHIEF ARRIVES
Will Attend Congress of Penal In
StitutiOns That Meets
in Washington
Is TO STUDY SYSTEMS HERE
Etien de KrouIoff Declares That
Chamber of Horrors ReVela-
tons Are Wholly Fiction
IS TO STUDY SYSTEMS HERE
tAnsociated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-One OF the
most interesting among the group Of
distinguished foreigners assembled In
New York for the coming session OF
the Prison congress to be held In
Washington shortly, is Etien de Kroul-
off, administrator of prisons In Russia,
controlling the destinies of the 800
jails in Russia and Siberia.
He Is a tall man with a benevolent
expression and courteous manner. He
confesses to fifty years, twenty live of
which he has passed in the govern
ment service.
Eyes, this is the first time that such
a terrible person as the chief OF the
Russian prisons has been In the United
States" said M. Krouloff to the inter
viewers whom he received at his
hotel. ''I hope to gain much first-hand
information over here. The prison sys-
tenn of America and her reformatories
are known theoretically in Russia, but
now we shall be able to get them in
a practical way. We shall be able to
learn much. We are trying to improve.
I'm Russia the criminal is considered
not merely an enemy to society, but
as a sick man. Persons condemned to
enforced labor have the right to see
their parents once a month and
oftener in the discretion Of the chief
of a prison. 1t can be said that In
mates of Russian prisons not only do
not suffer hardships, but their COM
fort, food, clothing, and so on, make
their position, so far as these things
are concerned, no worse than that of
a peasant or an ordinary city workman
living in liberty.
Part of the money derived from the
work done by prisoners is put aside
to be given to them on their release.
In short, the chambers of torture that
some of the foreign newspapers de-
scribe, and the revelations about the
abuse of prisoners are Pigments of the
imagination"

TELLS Of POISON
IN CRIPPEN CASE
Analyst Explains in Court at
London How Deadly Drug
Was Discovered
GIRL TREMBLES AT RECITAL
FashionabIy Dressed Women Fill
Courtroom to Hear Testimony
Given by Medical Expert
GIRL TREMBLES AT RECITAL
Associated Press1

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Dr. William
Henry Wilcox, scientist and analyst to
the home Office who discovered a
deadly drug in the body found in the
home of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen, took
the stand when the trial of the doctor
and his typist, Ethel Claire LeneYe,
for the murder of the formers wife,
was resumed and swore unqualifiedly
that death was due to poison. The
physician described the nature of the
medium used and said that from
quarter to half a grain would prove
fatal He had seen two-seVenths Of a
grain after a lapse of from four to
eight months, and judged that more
than half a grain had been adm1nis-
tered. He found no other cause of
death, and expressed the opinion that
the victim survived the dose an hour
or more.
Before DR.. Wilcox was called the
crown introduced medical testimony to
corroborate that given on wednesday
by Professor Augustus ]. Pepper, path
ologist of the University of London,
who swore that the body had been dis
membered by one, familiar with the
science of anatomy.
WOMEN THRONG COURTROOM
The greWsome exhibits and the un-
pleasant character of the testimony
did not deter the curious from strug~
Cling to get into the Bow street police
court today and the section appor-
TONED to the public was again crowded
The spectators included the usual ar
ray of fashinably dressed women, and
those thoughtfully removed their hats
that those seated behind them might
not miss a move of the trembling girl
in the dock or of her companion in
duress, whose jaunty air only adds to
the morbid interest in the case.
DIR. Wilcox, whose evidence was Sc
verely technical, was in the witness
box for four hours. Solicitor Arthur
Newton, who is conducting the case fpr
the defense, closely cross-eXamined the
witness, but elected nothing fresh.
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard then
took the stand. Solicitor Newton asked
him a few questions on behalf of Miss
Leneve with the object of showing that
she had said repeatedly that she be-
lieved whatever Crippen told her.
"She did not mention Crippen, to
me-" the detective replied
The case was then adjourned to Sep
tember 81.

PIE AND BEANS CAUSE OF
RACE DECAY, SAYS DOCTOR
Armor-PIate Pastry WreCking the
Yankees, Declares Physician

DETROIT, Sept. d6.-Well cooked
vegetables, rice and meat as opposed
to New England mince pie and Bos-
ton baked beans, have made the
graceful, self-controlled Turk the su-
perior of the nervous lank New Eng
lander"
This was the contention laid down
before the Mississippi Velley Medical
association yesterday by DR.. Fenton
C. Turck of Chicago.
"Diet has more to do with the max
ing of great men or the deteriorating
of the human race to the level of the
brute than anything" declared Dr.
Turck.
Compare that armor-plate mince
pie diet indulged In by all America
with the two sane meals q day that
are enabling Turkey to produce the
finest specimens of physical manhood
in the world. Minee pie and beans are
bringing about race deterioration not
alone in Connecticut and Maine"

Gunner's Mate on the BattIeship
Iowa Dives Between
Ship and Lighter

WASHINGTON, sept. 16.-Cool
courage and strong nerve were ex-
hibited by Emil Falk a gunner's mate,
on the battleship Iowa September l,

of shipmate, James E. Stanley, he
plunged overheard between the steel
hull of the battleship and a lighter
alongside from which she was ooaling.
The Iowa was lying off Annapolis,
Nd, at the time, and Stanley, fall
ing from the forecastle of the ship.
was stunned by striking the lighter,
and slipping between the two yes
sells, was drowned.
Falk dived several times to see if
the body could have come up under
the lighter. This act, according to
the acting head of the navy depart
ment, was fraught with the greatest
danger, due not only to the proba-
bility of being crushed between the
hulls, but of being caught underneath
the lighter and drowned.
In acknowledgment of his bravery
the navy department has officially
commended in the highest terms the
conduct of Falk, who is a resident of
Milltown, N. ].
