FILE SUITS To RECOVER
Effort Will be Made to Get Back
Money Lost in Manipulation Of
the New Haven.

Boston, Mass, July 13.-Wipple,
Sears and Ogden, attorneys represent
ing minority stockholders of the New
Haven railroad, have demanded that
the directors join their clients in the
suit to recover about SIZE, 100000 al
legged to have been wasted by the
The suit, which it said, will be filed
this week, is to be directed against
the estate of J. P. Morgan, William
Lewis Cass Ledyard and
others who were members of the New
Haven directorate at the time that
the transactions, which have been the
subjects of inquiry by the interstate
commerce commission, were made.
From the facts developed in this
it would seem that there
is little question concerning the re-
covery of a substantial amount of the
stockholders money that has been
wasted.

Chicago, July 13.-"Prison popula.

defective individuals who fall below

physician to the Indiana state prison
today at the convention here of alien

Several hundred specialists from all
parts of the United States were In at

day and will continue over Friday. The
first day was devoted chiefly to dis
cussing the protection Of society from
the partly insane.
"The majority Of prisoners are In a
state of physical insolvency" said DR..
Bowers. "Seventy-one Of one hundred
prisoners recently classified have
venereal disease and of these sixty

AWAIT WORD FROM
LOST BALLOONIST

st. Louis, Mo-. July 13.-Nothing
has been heard from the balloon, "San
Francisco 1915" at ten o'clock this
morning, but members of the st. Louis
Aero club think the balloon must have
landed by that hour.
The father of E. S. Cole the pilot was
at newspaper Offices early today in
quiring for news of the balloon. He
said his son started on the balloon
voyage intending to stay awake
throughout the trip and planned to lie
down on the ground and sleep the min
ute the balloon landed. If the balloon
landed remote from some town, and
Pilot Cole carried out this plan this
will explain the delay in hearing from
him.

miles southeast of McLeansboro, ILL.,,

Many Names Suggested For
Position in Supreme Court

Washington, D. c., July 13.-Discus.
sion as to whom President Wilson will
appoint to fill the vacancy on the SUI
preme court bench caused by the sud
den death yesterday Of Associate JUS
tice Lurton continued here today. The
names of those mentioned In connec-
ton with the vacancy include former
President William II. Taft, members OF
the cabinet and others. In official
circles there was some discussion as
10 the choice of successor to Justice
Lurton but no one cared to venture an
opinion as to whom the president
might appoint It Is not believed that
the president has yet even considered
any name in connection with the vac
ancy AS a result Of Justice Lurton's
death the president will be called upon
to make his first appointment to the
supreme bench.
In addition to Mr. Taft those men
toned include Attorney General Nc
Reynolds Secretaries Lane and Garri-
son. Senator Shields OF Tenn, for
mer Justice of the supreme court OF
that state, Frederick w. Lehman, for
mer solicitor general and one OF the
American delegates to the Mexican
peace conference at Niagara and that

career as a Justice of the highest court
of the land Whether he still cherishes
that ambition is not known here. When
it was reported last winter that JUS
tice Lurton was about to retire 1t was
suggested that Mr.. Taft might be Of
fered the place but 1t was stated about
the white house that his name had not
been mentioned. In official circles It
is thought unlikely that president will
appoint q member of cabinet because
of his desire to go through his term
without change in his official family.
Before the death of Justice Lurton,
the supreme court was made up of six
republicans and three democrats. BY
his death the democratic representa-
ton on the bench is reduced to two
Chief Justice White and Associate JUS
tice Lamar Under the circumstances,
it is thought likely that the president
will name democrat for the vacancy
Furthermore, there has been an un-
written rule in the senate which must
confirm the nomination that the minor
ity representation shall not fall below
three at any time.
Belief was expressed in congress to-
day that the president will make the
appointment before adjournment 80
that the nominee may be confirmed in
time to take his seat In the court at

STABBED FATALLY
PRIEST HIGH IN REGARD OF THE
CAR Is NOT EXPECTED
TO SURVIVE.

st. Petersburg, Russia, July 13.-De.
tails reached here today in dispatch
to the Courier of probably fatal at
tack on the mystic lay monk, Gregory
Rasputin, whose influence over the
emperor Is said to be very great.
Rasputin who has been one of the
most prominent figures in Russia in
recent years, was visiting his native
village, Pokrovsky, in the province Of
Tobolsk, Siberia, when woman, a
stranger to the locality, approached
him pretending to be beggar. After
accosting him, she stabbed him in the
abdomen with long military dirk.
The assailant was arrested and con-
fessed she had waited two weeks for
the opportunity. She said she had de-
cided to kill the monk because he was
false prophet and was leading every
body in Russia astray.
Doctors who examined the monks s
wound declared it was likely to prove
fatal.

COMMANDER MAY
PRECIPITATE WAR
Points Out Instances of How
Acts of One Man Grew
to Great Proportions

Newport. r. l., July 13.-How the
nations foreign policy often hangs
upon the action and discretion of a
naval oficer commanding a warship
in far away port, was discussed by
Secretary Daniels here today at the
opening of the naval war college ses-
sion. He pictured the duties OF the
naval officer In the role Of diplomat.
recalled incidents in which command
ers of American warships in foreign
ports had opened new chapters In
history and urged officers at the col
lege and marine officers to train them
selves IN international law and the
languages in preparation for such
emergencies.
"The navy, in the technical diplo-
matte sense" said the secretary. must
leave to the department of state the
settlement Of international policies and
properly so in the practical operations
of policies affecting other nations. the
action OF the youngest naval officer
commanding the smallest vessel in
foreign port might determine the ac-
ton of our government, Independent
of the policies which the trained diplo-
mats might have planned.
"If he be uninformed as to the re-
quirements Of international law what
consequences of evil may flow from
his ignorance. If he lacks tact and
sense Of courtesy how he may block
the path of his country to serve the
people to whom he is sent and pre-
vent opening of doors through which
his countrymen might enter to promote
commerce, friendliness and amity." a
There had been no secretary OF
state" Mr.. Daniels said, who had
availed himself more of the service OF
the naval officer, as a diplomat, who
has shown greater confidence in his
ability, his judgment and his absolute
trustworthiness than Secretary Bryan =
He recalled the demand made for a
salute of the stars and stripes by
Admiral Mayo at Tampico as an ex-
ample of how the action of naval
officer in a. foreign country precipi-
tated "an issue not contemplated in
diplomatic channels and irrevocably
committed his government to policy
of action in support of his demand =
Perry's achievement in the opening OF
Japan to commerce.; Dewey's brilliant
victory and his administration in
Philippine waters, and finally Rear
Admiral Fletcher's occupation of Vera
Cruz were pointed by the secretary as
conspicuous instances of the double
service required of the American naval
officer abroad.
