CHINAMAN HACKED
WITH A HATCHET
Two Women Are Arrested
Charged with Assault.

Trailed from the little Chinese laun-
dry at 1101 N street northwest, where
Lee Tie. the proprietor, was found with
his head and body badly mutilated yes
terday, Ella Hall and Lillian Hawkins,
two colored women, were arrested sew
eral hours later by Detectives Berman
and Cox, as they were packing their
effects to leave the city. The injured
Ch.naman was conscious when found and
told the police he had been hacked by a
hatchet IN the hand of a colored woman.
He was taken to Homeopathic Hospital,
where he is said to be in a serious con-
dition.
Two colored women were seen to
leave the laundry. Berman and Cox
started on the trail and discovered they
had entered a house at $50 Four-and-a-
half street southwest.
One OF the detectives went around to
the rear Of the house, and the other to
the front door. At a signal from his
the women, and they both made for the
front Of the structure. They ran into the
arms OF Berman.
At the Second precinct station both OF
the women denied having attacked the

the assault, and declared that the man
had been repeatedly hacked with a
heavy hatchet. The implement with
which the crime was committed was
found near the Chinaman.

POLICE SEEK CHILD.
Disappearance of Seven-year-old
Boy Mystifes Officials.

Complete mystery surrounds the disap-
pearance early yesterday morning of
seven-year-old John Chappell, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker Chappell, of 1886
Swami street northwest Shortly after
$50 o'clock, the child, who was at play
in the vicinity of his home, was missed
by his mother. All efforts to find him
proved futile.
Until an early hour this morning, the
police secured the city in an effort to
find some trace of the missing child.
Every policeman was given orders to
make special effort to locate the child.
One rumor to the effect that the child
was last seen in company with a dark
looking man gained considerable cred
ence shortly after midnight, but proved
of no avail.
According to the childs father, little
Jack as he is familiarly known along
his playmates, is small for his age. He
is a blue-eyed. light-h ired child, and
usually spent most OF mis- time playing
near his home. His mother was alarm
ed as soon as he failed to come TO his
dinner. and induced the father to re-
port the childs disappearance to the
police.

CHINESE CABINET
CANNOT SURVIVE
Belief Exists that 1t Is Only
a Make-shift.

Pekin, Nov. 1.-THE local press regards
the new Chinese cabinet as only a make
shift government, with little prospects Of
permanent existence. The members have
been selected from all factions. including
reformers and supporters of the throne.
Several OF those selected as ministers
have already declined to serve, and II Is
said that some Of these were not even
consulted in advance of their appoint
ment. It is generally believed that Pre-
mier Yuan Shih Kai has purposely con-
structed a government which can be OF
but short duration.
Shanghai. Nov. IA report received
late tonight from Ching Kiang states
that a force OF 1900 rebel troops has
been mobilized there and is ready to ad-
vance on Nankin, where the next big
battle of the revolution will be fought.
Chang Hsun, the Tartar general at Nam
kin. has defied the rebels. who have
placed a large price on his head. Chang
commands a force of 1000 imperiallsts.
but only 700 OF them are trained soldiers.
The American cruiser Albany, having
aboard Rear Admiral Joseph Murdoch,
commander of the Asiastic squadron.
sailed for Nankin this afternoon.
Shanghai, Nov. 1s.-Fighting between
the rebels and imperialists has begun at
Nankin, according to reports received
here. The advance guard Of the rebel
loyaIists' outpost and a sharp engage
ment ensued. The total rebel forces
number about 15.O0O, while the imperialist
troops number 10000. 1t Is expected that
the entire forces will be engaged in a
decisive battle tomorrow.

EARTHQUAKE FELT
IN NORTH EUROPE
P0pulace Frantic as TremOrs
|. Shake Buildings.

Berne,. Switzerland, Nov. IA vio-
lent earth tremor, vibrating from north
to south, was felt throughout Switzer-
land shortly after 10 o'clock last night,
the strongest shocks being felt at Berne
and Zurich, in the Alps range and the
interlaken district. Sharp shocks were
also felt at Geneva and at Chamounix
The vibrations sent great avalanches
rushing down Mont Blanc.
No loss OF life was caused, but the
residents affected were panic-stricken.
They rushed from their houses and the
theaters and remained in the streets all
night. Many tainted from fear. Much
damage to property was caused, and
several street cars were derailed at
Geneva.
Berlin, Nov. 1T-widespread damage
was caused in Germany by the earth
quake which wrecked Central Europe
last night. The castle OF Hohenzollern.
near Hechingen, Prussia, was shaken vi
olently. Great cracks opened in the tow
ers, and several statues were badly dis
figured.
In Ebingen, in the kingdom Of Wur-
temberg, the entire populace fed to an
open field at the first shock, and spent
the night in a state of terror. At Con-
stance, in the grand duchy of Baden.
colossal statue Of Germania tumbled
from the top OF building to the street
and the spire Of The Cathedral fell into
the church yard. Several buildings were
cracked in Frankfort, where the resi-
dents rushed into the streets, panic
stricken.

New York, Nov. 17.-In an address be-
fore body of prominent Jewish-Ameri-
cans gathered in the Office of United
States Senator James A. O'Gorman, to
urge Senators O'Gorman and Root to
support the Senate resolution calling for
an abrogation OF the treaty Of 1892 be-
tween the United States and Russia, un-
less Russia recedes from her position OF
refusing to honor passports issued to He
brews. Jacob H. Schint to-day made
amazing charges against the Russian
government and against William w.
Rockhill, the American Ambassador to
st. Petersburg. Mr.. SchIff involved also
John Hays Hammond. the eminent min
ing engineer and special representative Of
President Taft at the coronation.
Mr.. Schif asserts that Ambassador
Rockhill has frequently stated that the
passport question Is not OF great i'm
portance, and he is in st. Petersburg,
trying to get business for American
manufacturers and does not intend to
jeopardize those interests."
Mr.. Schin further charged that these
manufacturers are under the protection
OF John Hays Hammond because OF the
latter's alleged influence with President
Taft.
Gloucester, Mass, Nov. 17.-'Tf the
statement be true that Mr.. Jacob H:
Schin has charged me with having en-
deavored to influence President Taft in
his attitude on the Jewish passport
question, would emphaticalIy say that
Mr.. Schif utters an unqualified false
hood-a cowardly lie.
This was the reply Of John Hays Ham
mond to correspondent who called his
attention to the statements Of Mr.. Schin
in his speech In New York to-day.

TWO MEN ADDED
TO M'NAMARA BOX
Lack of Veniremen Causes
Halt in the Proceedings.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 1.-Two men
were seated as permanent Jurors to-day
in the case of James B. Mcnamara,
charged with murder by dynamiting,
and one man was passed for cause by
both sides when court proceedings were
halted by the lack OF more veniremen
The deputy sheriffs were hustled out
again and forty men are to appear before
Judge Bordwell to offer excuses for
service at o'clock tomorrow morning.
When the peremptories were used for
the second time in the course Of the trial
to-day, the State excused Alex. Gribbling,
Willett Drummer, and Clark McLain. This
occasioned considerable surprise, as 1t
was expected that they would not use
more than two of their challenges. The
State now has only five peremptories left
The defense excused T. H. Elliott, ia
cob Lansing, Maj. Brewster Kenyon, the
millionaire, supposed to have a great ad-
miration for William ]. Burns, and A. c.
Heath, rancher, born in England. The
dismissal Of Heath was decided by James
B. Mcnamara himself. Joseph Scott, of
counsel for the defense, himself a son
Of Ireland, objected to allowing an Eng
list Protestant hear the case of an Irish
Catholic. Darrow asserted that the feel
Ing would hardly exert itself enough to
affect this case. So the thing was put
up to Mcnamara and he voted to let
Heath go.
The two new jurors added to the men

Their vessel swamped by seas and
sinking in Chesapeake Bay, the crew OF
seven Of the. oyster sloop Lillian F.

stand about the mast, to the top OF
which they had nailed as a signal Of dis
tress the red flannel shirt Of one Of their
number.
The shirt huttering in the gale that
ragged over the lower Chesapeake was
seen by Capt. Wade H. Gray, of the

and will be towed to Norfolk.
Capt. Gray. in command of the Pilot,
was on the way from Norfolk for BaItI-
more. The ship was no sooner well into
the bay than a northwest gale arose and
buneted the craft about in high waves.
The storm delayed the progress Of the
Pilot, and she was several hours late
reaching Tangier bar.
Saw Distress Signals,
AS the Pilot neared the bar, Capt.
Gray, who was in the pilot house, saw
distress signals flying from the Lillian
F. Evans. Through his glasses Capt.
Gray saw that the ships sails and rud-
der were gone and that It was drifting
helplessly in the seas. Waves broke
over the craft, throwing icy spray over
Capt. Neill and his crew as they clung
to the decks.
Capt. Gray swung in his course and
steered the Pilot across the bay to the
rescue of the unfortunate sailors. After
a battle which lasted for nearly an hour
Capt. Gray swung alongside OF the sloop.
Using the craft as a shield against the
wind, he managed to pull the Pilot up
close enough to take on the men and
attach tow line. When Capt. Neill and
his men were placed aboard the Pilot
they were soaked to the skin and nearly
dead from exposure.
Rescued Ones Landed.
Capt Gray signaled full steam ahead,
and started with the Lillian F. Evans
in tow for the mouth Of the Great WI
comico River. The run in the storm
took several hours, and by the time 1t
was completed Capt NELL and his men
had thoroughly thawed out, and asked
to be landed at the nearest point. Capt.
Gray offered to take them to BaIti-
more, but Capt. NeiIl would not con-
sent, and insisted upon being landed at
the mouth of the river.
Steering up the Wicomico to the near
est truck wharf, Capt. Gray discharged
the rescued men and anchored the DIS
abled sloop, after which he proceeded TO
Baltimore.
