straits, DO0 miles southward of Singapore,
reeling sure that the Japanese Intelligence
department would be equal, ns It probably
was, to the task of ascertaining the destina
tion of Rojestvensky, and thereby not
only threw the Japanese off the scent, but
officially deceived his own admiralty where
the news of the fleet having passed Singa
pore probably created quite as much sur
prise as It did In the marine department nt
Tokio. 8everal colliers were actually de
spatched to the rendezvous and ninny al
ready had fullen Into the hands of the
Japanese, but Rojestvensky deliberately
sacrificed them as pawns In a bigger game.
That the ruse worked la apparent from the
fact that Rojestvensky did not meet a
Hingle . Japanese ship in the straits of
Malacca, while dispatches from Batavla
tell of Sunda, Hall, Lonbok, Flnres and
other straits to the southward being
crowded with Japanese torpedo boats
guarding the passages.
Battle Within Ten Days.
The admiralty points out the great Im
portance and advantage to be gained by
pushing on with all possible speed and
meeting Vice Admiral Togo's -heavy ships
before he can effect a complete concentra
tion of his scattered cruisers, scouts and
torpedo boats. The belief of the admiralty
Is th.U Togo la waiting near the Inland of
Fcrtriosa,. 1,800 miles .northward of '.Singa
pore' . . " ''''.'.,.
' At the rate the Russian squadron steamed
from Madagascar, which averaged eight
linots an hogr, the, greatest naval battle
since Nelson's vletory'at -Trafalgar should
occur in about ten days.' The admiralty
realizes that Rojestvensky faces great odds,
owing to the immense superiority of the
Japanese cruisers and torpedo boats, and
reliance. In his. success Is-based upon seven
, battleships with which ' he . can oppose
Togo's lour. '
It is thought . unlikely that . the Vladi
vostok squadron will attempt a junction
with the Baltic fleet, though it is quite
possible . it .may. make a diversion, un
deterred by the fate of the Rossla at the
time of the egress of the Port Arthur fleet
last Auiiust.

Criticism of Admiralty by RoJest
vensky's Officer Leads to Trouble.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 8.-8:55 p. m.
A sensation.il sequence to the newspaper
campaign Inaugurated by Captain Clado
(formerly Admiral Rojestvensky's chief
tactician) against Vice Admiral Avellan
(head of the Russian Admiralty depart
ment) and the general staff of the Ad
miralty may be a duel tomorrow between
Clado and Captain Zilottl, the aide of
Admiral Avellan. Captain Clado opened
a newspaper war on the authorities before
Rojestvensky sailed and after the North
sea incident criticised not only the Ad
miralty, . but the Foreign office for not
arranging to get the Black sea fleet through
the Dardenefles, for which he underwent
a fortnight of arrest for violation of dis
cipline. After Clado returned from Paris,
where he ' testified before the North sea
commission, he continued his attacks, giv
ing the impression that he voiced Rojest
vensky's sentiment, until he was stripped
of emoluments ten dayps ago. While the
other day a letter came from Rojestvensky
repudiating Clado and severely reflecting
upon- him, Captain Zlllottl, without the
authority of the ministry of marine,
promptly published it, drawing down upon
himself In turn a public reprimand. Bad
blood, had existed between the two officers
throughout the controversy, and Clado,
having charged that Zilottl published the
letter out of personal spite, the latter sent
him his seconds, demanding that Clado
apologize or fight.

MOB AFTER A MURDERER
Deputy Sheriff at Trinidad, Colo., Assassi
nates Former Treasurer,
ATTEMPT TO LYNCH PRISONER
Kerry Sheriff Keep Mob at Bay
Intll Special Train is 9e- -cured
to Take Man
Away.
TRINIDAD. Colo., April 8.-John H. Fox
was shot and killed by Deputy Sheriff Joe
Johnson today. Later an attempt to lynch
Johnson was frustrated by Sheriff Dick
Davis and posse, and later the prisoner
was placed on a special train to save him
from a mob of 2.000 people bent on veng
eance. Fox was standing at a desk in the lobby
of the postofllce reading a newspaper, with
his back to the door. Johnson entered,
pistol in hand, and without warning walked
up behind Fox and flret. Tho bullet en
tered behind the left ear and came out of
the forehead, passed through a glass door
into the elevator lobby, grazing the head
of a man standing In the elevator. Fox
fell backward dead and Johnson, cooly
walking from the postofllce, started toward
the county Jail, when he was arrested by
another deputy sheriff and placed In the
county Jail.
Mob Gathers Quickly.
News of the assassination spread rapidly
and soon a mob of 1.000 people gathered in
front of the postofflee, making threats of
lynching. When the body of Fox was
carried by the mob and placed In an under
taker's wagon the sight seemed to turn
them to frenzy and a rush was made for
the county Jail amid loud cries of "lynch
the murderer." In the meantime the sheriff
swore in fifty deputies, who surrounded
the Jail, and when the mob reached within
a half block Sheriff Davis halted them and
announced that he would kill the first man
win attempted to come up the Jail steps.
Taken Array on Special Train.
This had tho effect of checking the mob,
which lucked a leader, and after muttering
vengeance for an hour the mob left and
reformed In front of the postofllce, when
plans of lynching were openly discussed.
Sheriff Davis secured a special train on
the Colorado & Southern. Later Johnson,
surrounded by deputies, was started from
the Jail on a dead run for the waiting
train, three blocks away. This news
reached the mob, which started pell mell
after the posse, growing in numbers en
route, until fully 2,500 people had gathered.
The sheriff succeeded in getting his prisoner
on board, but when the train started the
mob was less than twenty yards away.
BAPTISTS TAKE THE CASH
Annual Gift of flOO.OOO Received
from John I). Rockefeller with
Acknowledgments.
BOSTON, April 8. The American Baptist
Missionary union has received from John
D. Rockefeller a contribution of $100,000 Rnd
has accepted and acknowledged It. For
several years Mr. Rockefeller has made an
annual gift to the union and the contribu
tion Just acknowledged represents Mr.
Rockefeller's annual offering.
In addition to this gift It was announced
that Mr. Rockefeller has contributed a con
siderable sum of money to be used for the
building needs of the union.
Mr. Rockefeller contributes annually to
the building needs of the union, but It Is
announced that bis gift this year exceeds
those of former years. The exact amount
will not be made known until after formal
action has been taken by tne union on Mon
day. Mr. Rockefeller' gift of $100,000 to the
American board of commissioners for for

M1LNER GOES HOME
(Continued from First Page.)
Parliament, states that native life Is under
going a great change.
European clothing, which is coming more
and more Into general use, has not been
an unmixed lesson. It has promoted public
decency; but, not being adopted In Its en
tirety, and being necessarily of Inferior
material, it has not proved equally con
ducive to health.
Polygamy is on the decrease, and the na
tives are reporting less to witch doctors.
The commission records the view that for
the moral Improvement of the natives there
is available no Influence equal to that of
religious belief; hope for the elevation of
the native races must depend mainly on
the acceptance of Christian faith -and
morals. With regard to land tenure, it is
recommended that purchases by natives
should, be limited to certain areas, and
that collective possession should not be
allowed.
It Is also thought necessary to Impost
direct taxation cn the natives, and that
this can be done best by means of a poll
oi hut tax. The commission thinks It de
sirable to allow the natives some measure
of representation in the legislation of the
country.

The catastrophe cai'setl a profound sen

CALCUTTA, April 6. Telegraphic com
munication with Dharmsala has been re
stored. The latest accounts show that the
earthquake was even more disastrous than
at first believed.
Of a total population of nearly 60,000 In
the town of Kangra it is believed that only
600 are left alive. Many of these have fled.
Of the police, only a deputy Inspector and
four sergeants are alive. Many people are
still imprisoned in the ruins. Dharmsala,
Kangra, Palanpur, Dhawan and all the
neighboring villages are completely
wrecked! Scarcely a building remain
Standing. Not much damage was done at
Haripur, Deragoplpur, Nadaum or Hamlr
pur, but Sujanpur (having a population of
about 6,000 souls) is reported to be In ruins.
The shocks still continue. There Is no
news from Kulu valley, but according to
native rumors a great amount of damage
has been done.
An official dispatch from Dharmsala says
the place Is a scene of complete desola
tion. Owing to the scarcity of labor great
difficulty is experienced In excavating the
ruins, but the Qhoorkas are doing excellent
work.

CHICAGO, April (.-Whether the Chicago
Telephone company must make a fight in

the issue of arguments begun before Judge

The city contends that the Telephone

for telephone service. Upon that charge Is
based the petition to oust It from the

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April ."(.-(Special Tele
gram.) The gpneral land office Is now nt
work throtigh Its special sirents to se
cure the cancellation of old timber culture
claims which have been abandoned by the
original entrymen. Some 6,C of these
claims are still uncancelled, amounting to
about PV.nOC acres, located In the states
of Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and
Kansas.
The original entrymen upon these claims
were Induced to proceed under an art
of confrress dated June 14. 1ST8. which was
entitled, "An act to encourage growth of
timber on western prairies." This act,
which was primarily to encourage forestry,
provided that any person who is the head
of a family or who has arrived at the
ace of 21 years, who may plant and keep
In a healthy, growing condition for eislit
years ien acres of timber on any quarter
stctlon of any of the public lands of the
United States, or five acres on any legal
subdivision of eighty acres, or two and
one-half acres on any lcpral subdivision
of forty -cres or It ss, shall be entitled
to a patent for the whole of said quarter
section, or of such legal subdivision of
eighty or forty acres or fractional sub
division of lens than forty acres as the
case may be, at the expiration of seld
eight years on making proof of such fact
by n--t less than two creditable witnesses.
Many persons took advantage of this
act and faithfully complied with Its pro
vision!), but quite a number have failed to
"prove up-' and It Is thes claim? lr!i
the department now seeks to cancel that
the land may be agnln restored to the
public domain 'or homesteaders or other

An agent was today ordered to the
Lamar land district of Colorado to look
Into the status of some three thousand

this district, and registers and receivers
In Nebraska, New Mexico and Kansus,
wherein there are something like three

to the regular force employed It Is hoped
to finish up the general reports and esti
mates on the definite projects In the reser
vation about April 15. The work on tho
Fort Cuater project Is about completed.
The Waco-Sanders project will require
some field work before estimates can be
made for the three systems It Involves.
Tho first of these includes Waco ditch,
covering 4,000 acres; Big Horn Junction
ditch, 1.500 acres, and Low Line gravity
canal for Sanders land, covering 1.1,000
acres, thus giving a total of 18,500 acres
under the gravity system. The second sys
tem Includes Waco power and irrigation
canal and Sanders and Big Horn Junction
pump lines, with a total of 23,100 acres. The
third system Includes Sanders low line
gravity canal. 13,000 acres; Waco power
and Irrigation canal, 4,500 acres, which
will supply power to pumps from Sanders
low lino with seventeen feet lift to cover
6.000 acres, and to pump' with fifty-foot lift
to cover 5,000 acres, also to cover Big Horn
flats near the Junction of the rivers by u
gravity ditch, aggregating about 5.000 acres.
The surveys have not been made on all of
the canal lines, so that estimates of cost
at this time are not possible.

J0S1AII STRONG PROTESTS
President of Institute of Social Servioe
Opposes the Rockefeller Gift.
SAYS IT IS A QUESTION OF ETHICS
Legal Rights of Honor and t'horch
Do Hot Enter mm Matter
ia Purely One of
Morals.
BOSTON, April 8. Rev. lir. Josiah Strong
of New York, president of the American
Institute of Social Service, has Joined In
the protest of Congregational ministers
against the acceptance of the Rockefeller
gift to the American board. In a com
munication to the committee of the pro
testing clergymen Dr. Strong says:
We are told by those who approve the
acceptunce of tho gift that "it is not the
business of a. church, charitable organiza
tion or miHsionary sociwiy to sit in Judg
ment on the character of tile contribu
tions to Its work." This simply befogs
the real question at Issue: Can a church
or society thus wash Its hands of all re
sponsibility touching all gins which may
come to its treasury without violating
fundamental principles of ethics?
A man may become possessed of money
to which hu has no moral right In a
groat variety of ways, but, whatever the
method, the fundamental ethical principle
remains the same namely, that a man ha
no rlKht to give that which is not his, und
no one has a right to recuive a gift which

Leal Riant ot Involved.
It is charged by many that Mr. Rocke
feller has acquired a large proportion of
hlu wealth by illegitimate methods und
that to such lll-goiten gains lie has no
moral right (legal rights uo not enter into
tiie discussion). Multitudes believe that
uiuibpuied lacis raise a reasonable doubt,
to say the least, whether Mr. Rockefeller
has a moral right to the money which he
gives away. it follows, therefore, that
the board has no right to accept his gift
until that reasonable doubt is removed.
1 would not say that the prudential com
mittee bus u rignt to accept this principle.
It has no right to reject it. The acceptance
of ethical principles Is not optional.
For more than twenty years we have
deplored the fact that woi kingmen as a
class refuse to attend church. When asked
why the habitual reply Is that the churches
belong to "the capitalistic class which is
not dealing Justly by labor." When men
who have kept back the laborers' hire con
tribute largely to religious objects and
their gifts are accepted, workingmen be
lieve that the church condones injustice
ami are embittered toward It.
The conscience of the church touching
wealth profoundly needs quickening. The
new conditions of society demand higher
ethical standards. This Is a most favor
able time to respond to the new need.
