LODZ, June a. Lods today Is quieter
than It has been" for months past. The con
tinuance of martial law makes life and
property safer than since the strikes brgan
In January and Insures excellent prospects
for the resumption of work In practically
every factory In the city.
Today is a holiday. The people are
promenading the streets and attending
church as usual on such occasions, and
thousands of worklngrnen and their families
are picnicking In the neurby woods.
Mill owners are looking forward to at
least several weeks of steady work, giving
them a chance to fill orders that have piled
up owing to the strikes. Martial law has
permitted the authorities to announce such
measures as will make the resumption of
disorders practically Impossible.
The streets aro deserted after S o'clock at
night and theaters, concert halls and wine
shops are closed. Otherwise the life of the
city Is proceeding quite normally and with
the exception of numerous patrols of Cos
sacks and Infantrymen In the streets and
the military detachments ' stationed at the
biggest factories there Is no sign of the
terrorizing days of the pasweek.
As the result of the strikes since Jan
uary the worklngmen have falned Increases
In wages averaging 20 per cent, and now
they apparently have decided to work
quietly for the present.

The emperor has Issued the following
ukase addressed to the ruling senate: .
In order to guarantee public safety and
to terminate the disorders at Odessa and
neighboring localities we have found it
necessary to declare a, atata of war la
Odessa and district and to Invest the com
mander of the troops In the military dis
trict of Odessa with the. rights of mllltury
authority and special rights of civil ad
ministration for the defense of order and
publlo tranquillity.
It la reported that the volunteer fleet j
cruiser Saratoff has been burned at Odessa, j
Admiral Kruger's squadron Is expected to
arrive at Odessa tonight. His orders are
to summon the Kniaz Potemklne to sur
render and upon Its refusal, "o sink It,
after which he is to assist In restoring
order In the town. "
Martial Law Declared.
A state of siege has been declared In
Odessa. The conflagration Is sweeping
along the harbor front, the sailors and
strikers refusing to permit attempts to ex
tinguish the flames. Three uninsured ships
of the Pan-Russian company have been
destroyed. The offices of the port admin
istration, stores of the Pan-Russian, Kosh
kln and Russian companies and many pri
vate establishments and a great number of
wood yards have been burned and the fire
is now consuming along the lone lines of
railroad cars, containing cargoes unloaded
from foreign ships. Many ships succeeded
In leaving the harbor.
The surviving officers' of the battleship
Knlai Potemklne number eleven. Instead of
eight. A number of them were sent ashore
today by the mutineers. They confirm the
details of the mutiny cabled to the As
sociated Press yesterday.
The newspapers have suspended publica
tion and all regular life and business are
at a standstill.
Government Dlatrasts Troops.
The government Is In a state approaching
panic over the events at Odessa and the
greatest fears are entertained that the mu
tiny among the bluejackets may spread to
the army. Should sumo of the troops at
Odessa be won over to the cause of their
comrades of the navy other troops sent
against them might throw down their arms
or Join the mutineers and. with the support
of over 100,000 workmen, Odessa would be
come the center from which civil war would
be waged against the government.
Rumors are rife In this city, however,
that the officers on board the ships
belonging to the. squadron of Vice Admiral
Kruger, which left Sevastopol for Odessa
Tuesday, according to one report, and for
a practice cruise, according to another
story, have shared the fate of the officers
of the Kniaz Potemklne and have been
murdered by the mutineers.
It Is added that mutineers are In posses
sion of the other warships of the squadron.
If so the mutineers have control of more
than half the heavy ships of the Black sea
fleet, the other battleships said to be In the
hands of the mutineer being the Tchesme,
Blnope and the Trla Svlatitella (three apos
tles). The admiralty, however, dots not
confirm the report of the mutiny on board
Admiral Kruger's other ships.
St. Petersburg, In view of the develop
ments at Odessa, Is filled with stories of
disaffection and sedition among the troops;
even the guard regiments. It Is reported,
say they ' will never again Are upon the
people. The Cossacks alone, according to
these tales, aro absolutely reliable. That
disaffection and discontent among the sol
diers Is widespread admits of little doubt,
but the situation Is hardly as black as
painted. Vp to the present time there Is no
reason to believe that the vast bulk of the
army Is not loyal. What the effect would
be of several regiments going over to the
rioters Is, however, problematical. Cer
tainly a crisis seems to have been reached.
Anarchy Rela-na Supreme.
4:50 p. m. Shortly after noon an untlmed
dispatch was received here reporting that
complete anarchy reigned at Odessa. The
Inhabitants were panic-stricken and were
huddled together In the houses. The streets
wore filled with frenzied workmen fighting
the troops. The warehouses, quays and
some of the shipping In the harbor were
in flames. The correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press who forwarded this dispatch
had to make his way to the telegraph office
through dense smoke, which covered the
city like a pall. He heard volleys every
few minutes. In the darkness the mob
was beginning the work of pillage and
plunder, indicating that the dispatch was
filed last night, but was delayed by the
authorities. The correspondent added that
bluejackets, with machine guns, had been
landed from the battleship Kniaz Potem
klne, which Is in the hands of the muti
neers, and then fought with the strikers
behind barricades against the troops. Hun
dreds were killed and the hospitals were
crowded with wounded. There were ru
mors, the correspondent also said, that
soma of the soldiers had Joined the mu
tinous sailors In fighting against the troops,
but he was unable to confirm this report.
The correspondent said nothing about the
nrrlval at Odessa of 4ho warships com
manded by Vice Admiral Kruger, but a dis
patch from Sebastopol says the battleship
Qeorge Pobledonosetz and the cruiser Grl
den have started for Odessa.
Radlcnls Spread the Kens.
There are about 40,000 troops of all arms
at Odessa, but there are no fortifications
in which they could withstand a siege If
the rioters and mutineers got the upper
hand. The Russians of Odessa comprise
scarcely one-third of the 600,000 inhabitants
of the city, about 150,000 of the residents
being Jews, and the remainder being
Greeks, Armenians, Turks and people of
various European nationalities. In gen
eral the members of the lower classes of
Odessa are persons of the most desperate
character.
The public here hardly has a suspicion
bt the grave events occurring at Odessa,
but the radicals ars spreading the news
diligently.
Stocks sold heavily on the Bourse today,
'-'it only during the latter part of the
.salon when rumors that something was
wrong got abroad and prices fell sharply.
Mutiny at Llban.
LIBAU, Government of Courland, Russia,
June 9. The Russian sailors here mutinied
last night, attacked the stores, seized the
arms and fired Into the officers' quarters.
jnraniry, artillery and Cossacks were
brought to the scene of the fighting, but
the result Is not known. Intense excite
ment prevails here.

resuscitation of the vile language used
against Edward Rosewater In some of his
vituperative vaporings last year, R. P.
Howell yesterday butted In while Cou

dmonltlon to let the county attorney do all
the objecting that Is to be done by his Bide.
And Mr. Howell subsided. He squirmed,
though, while Connell was making lit
tatement to the Jury.
When the Jury was sworn County Attor
ney Slabaugh made his opening statement.
I'le outlined the events in Howell's political
life leading up to the publication ot the
lleged libel and said the case will be
brief on the part of the state. It will con
sist of the article complained of and of
the testimony of Mr. Howell himself, who

W. J. Connell, Mr. Rosewater's attorney.
followed. He had hardly got fairly started
before the fun began. Howell shifted with
lmost every sentence, and as the attorney
developed the Hue of defense he lias In
mind he grew very nrvous. Every few
minutes he would lean forward and urge
the county attorney to object to what Con
nell was saying. These objections became
quite numerous, but the attorney for the
efense went ahead within the court's
ruling to give the Jury a proper idea of
all the circumstances preceding the print
ing of the alleged libel. After tracing the
career of Mr. Rosewater from his arrival
in America as a boy, he rapidly limned
some of the more prominent events In the
life of the "prosecuting, or persecuting,
witness," as he characterized him, from the
time when he was born Into Influential en
vlronments, through Annapolis academy,
then out of the navy he had been trained
to serve. Into other lines, and to Omaha,
where his influential connections secured
him the position , of city eVglneer, the
ttorney took him along to the point where
he made a trip to New York and Phlla
delphla. "Here was where the trouble
started," Mr. Connell said. He Intimated
that Howell wanted the appointment as
manager of the water plant, but was
turned down. That shortly after his re
turn a resolution appeared In the city
council to empower the city engineer to
make an Investigation of the water works
ystem. A little later a proposition was
advanced to have a certain friend of
Howell made a director of the water com
pany at a salary of $2,000 a year. The com
puny was .nformed, said Mr. Connell, that
if this was done things would run smoothly,
otherwise there was trouble' ahead. The
suggestion was not adopted, and soon the
batteries of the city engineer were turned
on the company.
Printed the News.
It was at this point, said the attorney,
where Mr. Rosewater learned of the facts
In his capacity as an editor of a great
paper. Always opposed to blackmail of
any company or person, he had printed
certain articles for the information of any
people who might be concerned. And there
the controversy started which developed
the present suit. I
Mr. Rosewater had no personal feeling
In the matter, said Mr. Connell. "lie
never had any enmity toward Howell, and
even today has no personal feeling against
htm. He merely desired and had the fear
less purpose, as he always lias had, to
protect the citizens and the public corpora
tions by exposing people sailing under
false colors. It Is his right and privilege
to do so, and the law recognizes the duty
of a newspaper to the community to com
ment on the acts of any man who puts
himself before the public as a candidate
for public office.
Reading from The Bee of November 7,
1904, In which the alleged libel appeared,
Mr. Connell directed the Jury's attention
to the fuct that In the article over Mr.
Rosewater's signature there Is no mention
of bribery
The bribery notion was In Howell's
mind," said he, "not In Rosewater's.
Unless the old saying la true that
a guilty conscience needs no ac
cuser,' there is no posmoie ground
lu this extract from Rosewater's letter
to Howell for framing a charge of bribery.
All ot the bribery business In this com
plaint is In the construction placed on the
article. In the surrounding Innuendoes
which the county attorney copied Into the
complaint after Mr. Howell had drawn
It up to suit himself."
Howell as a Lawmaker.
He reviewed Howell's legislative work
In a scathingly analytic humor and pre
sented to the Jury some pertinent facts
and deductions, In which Mr. Howell could
find no consolation. Incidentally he denom
inated the actions of the prosecuting wit
ness as being responsible for foisting upon
the city of Omaha "The most demoralizing
and costly piece of legislation ever Inflicted
upon this city or any other."
Concluding his address to the Jury as
to what he expects to prove with reference
to Mr. Howell's acts and his underlying
motive In this prosecution, Mr. Connell
read the entire letter written and published
by Mr. Rosewater. In doing so he shot In
some comments to fix the attention of the
Jurors on significant portions, vastly more
so than the three lines complained of
His Incisive languuge finally got too hot
for the man behind the county attorney,
and at his urging Mr. Slabaugh called for
a stoppage of the analysis by the court.
The lawyer desisted and finished reading
without comment.
Howell Oatllnes His History.
At the afternoon session the complaining
witness took the stand. On request of the
county attorney he outlined his history,
Born st Adrian. Mich., where his father
was on ths bench at one time, hs went from
thers to Annapolis In 1881 and was grad
uatid In 1888. He served In ths navy until
1887, when hs resigned. Coming west In
1888 h took a position with tn American
Waterworks company of Chicago, which
then controlled the Omaha waterworks. In
1889 he resigned and took up the profession
of a civil engineer. Before this hs had been
state engineer and secretary of the Stats
Irrigation board. Is January, 1896, ta was
made city engineer of Omaha and held the
Job about a year. At this time President
Cleveland mftde him s member of the board
of visitors to Annspolls. In 1SS he again
resumed the naval service, he said, and
was a lieutenant throughout the war, but
saw no active service In battle. Discharged
In is, hs went into thp Insurance business
here and Is still In that line, as he was
when a member of the state senate, elected
In November, Wt. In June, 1904. he whs
chosen to fill a vacancy on the Water
board and was afterward elected to the
position. He Is still a member of the board.
Connell Is Overruled.
When Howell had finished his direct ex
amlnatloh Mr. Connell moved to strike out
the testimony, attacking the sufficiency of
the complaint on the grounds urged In his
demurrer which Judge Day had overruled.
He was overruled and then filed a general
objection to all testimony given In the case
by Howell. This being overruled there was
more legal fencing and saving exceptions
were placed In the record. Then the county
attorney went through the business of get
ting the Issue of The Bee and the articles,
or parts of articles he wanted, before the
court. Next Mr. Howell was asked about a
conversation he had with Mr. Rosewater at
Lincoln last February. He Insisted on
calling this a colloquy, and later In cross-
examination he again Insisted on drawing a
distinction without a difference between
conversation and colloquy. His definition
was entirely Howellesque, It seemed, for It
was new and wonderful to all hearers.
When Mr. Connell took the witness to
cross-examine him there was an exhibition
of halting, attempted explanation, half
uttered dissertation, and finally blank
refusal to answer such as probably has
never been seen In the criminal court on
the part of even a defendant, let alone a
prosecuting witness. Mr. Howell put up
some fearful faces at the questions asked,
squirmed and hesitated, until both the
county attorney and the court were com
pelled to urge him to answer and then ex
plain. If ho must, on redirect.
Mr. Connell brought out that, while the
father of the witness had no direct con
nertlon with the water works company
controlling the Omaha plant, he was In
terested In trying law suits with W. A
Underwood while practicing at Detroit
Passing over this matter, Mr. Connell
brought the witness up to the question
"Have you ever paid one dollar of real
estate or personal property taxes In the
city of Omaha7"
Touches a Tender Spot.
Right there Mr. Howell bucked like a
horse headed west which wants only to go
east. He started to explain about some
property his mother owned, but Connell
wouldn't have It. He Insisted on an answer
direct, but It took many minutes and ad
monitions from the court and county at
torney to lead him to the final admission
"I do not know. I do not now recollect.'
After several such attempts Mr. Connell
was compelled to give up.
"Well, If you won't tell we can't make
you, I guess."
Then to the Lincoln "colloquy."
"You went to Lincoln because you knew
Mr. Rosewater was there and because you
wanted to get him to make some admls
sions regarding this open letter you could
use as evidence against him, and you took
this paper with you, aldn't you7"
Howell wanted to enter Into an explana
tion. Connell headed hLn off and the court
ruled again that he must answer. Here
ho once more stuck to "colloquy" like
scared boy to a life life. In the end he
admitted his purpose was as indicated In
the question. I
Cornered on threats j uttered at Lincoln
to send .Rosewater to the penitentiary and
to make the Bee building a haunt only for
bats and pigeons, the J witness denied this
after much hedging ad dodging and after
looking at "notes", t refresh bis memory,
A little later he adeftl.tted connecting Mr,
Rosewater's name and the penitentiary.

rowing advisers, who see trouble ahead.
Race Starts Promptly.
This afternoon the sailing craft practically
formed an avenue for four long miles. The
race was scheduled to be rowed at 4:30
o'clock and was started less thnn eleven
minutes later. The wind, which threatened
to kick up the river early In the afternoon,
had calmed down and was, blowing almost
across the course and Just quartering on
the bows of the shells. It was a hard wind
to row against, but as the coaches sized up
the situation they saw there was no chance
for fast time. The tide was running up
stream strong, but the crews had the disad
vantage of the wind. As the two eights
rowed to their stake boats the old spirit of
Harvard awoke with the customary long
'rahs, to which the Ells flung back the
rattling cheer of old Yale.
At 4:40 o'clock Harvard was at its starting
flag and three minutes Inter the Yale shell
was In position. Within five minutes
Referee Mleklehain had given his Instruc
tions to the crews, there was a flash of a
pistol and the strong arms and broad
backs swung back In the shells. The race
had begun. Yale got the best of the start
and In the first half dozen strokes shot the
nose of Its shell ahead. Just before the
first half mile was finished Harvard ran
Its stroke up and began to cut down Yale's
lead.
Yale finished the half In 2:22; Harvard In
2:23.
Ynle Leads a Length.
The Ells were now lending by almost a
boat's length. Harvard dropped Its stroke
down to thirty-two and Yale attain got
back the second which Harvard had gained,
and the New Haven boat passed the mile
and a half flag In 8:G1; Harvard In 8:04.
The crews now began to strike the ship
channel Just below the navy yard and
Yale got the benefit of the fastest water.
The time for the two miles was: Yale.
10:47; Harvard, 10:53. Then the Harvard
coxswain called for a spurt and his crew
responded gamely. At the same moment
Yale came very near meeting with an acci
dent. An empty barrel had drifted Into
the course of the Blues and it was floating
so low in the water that the nose of the
Yale shell was within a few feet of It
when Coxswain Barkalow saw It and
cleverly steered his boat over Into Har
vard's water Just far enough bo that Yale's
outriggers passed over the obstruction.
This loss of headway, combined with Har
vard's spurt, cost Yale two of Its six sec
onds additional. Yale's time at the three
mile flag was 16:37; Harvard's 16:43.
Last Mile a Klght.
The last mile ot the race was a fight
never to be forgotten by those fortunate
enough to witness It. Just beyond the
three-mile flag Meier, Harvard's No. 7, who
had been rowing a terrlfice race, seemed to
have pumped himself out. He was suffer
ing tortures and It looked as though he
could not possibly hold his form tho rest
of the distance. The Harvard stroke
dropped to thirty-one, but It only staved
there for a Very brief space of time. Sud
denly Meier seemed to get his second wind
and the crimson stroke went up two points.
The Hnrvard shell began to gain on Yale
On every stroke the Harvard shell crept
up nearer and nearer the Yale -boat. Sud
denly the shells were once more lapped.
The Yale coxswain called for a spurt and
the crew raised their stroke to thirty-four,
the highest that they had been taught to
row. Still Harvard was game. Up went
the Harvard stroke to thirty-four and over
the lost quarter of a mile the prow of
Cambridge's shell began to gain Inch by
inch on the stern of the blue's boat. Tho
crews were only' a hundred yards from the
finish and still It was elther's race. Tho
crowd became wild with excitement. The
Harvard shell continued to creep up cn
the Yale boat and every man of the two
crews was pulling out the last ounce of his
power when suddenly the flag at the finish
dipped and Yale was a winner by the length
of an oar.
Harvard's men danced and hugged each
other as though they had won the race.
Yale was so dazed by the fright which
Wray's crew had given It that they forgot
to cheer for a few minutes. Then the Ells
suddenly realized that they had won the
closest race In Yale-Harvard boating his
tory, they let go their cheers until the hills
reverberated.
As Harvard passed the finish line Meier,
st No. 7, dropped his oar and slid down
Into the bottom of the shell. A few hand
fulls of water brought him to his senses
and then the two eights rowed off to their
boat houses, the crimson receiving ns much
applause as the blue. Yale's time for the
four miles was 22:S.1'4; Harvard's, 22 1.
The 16 eights will go down In history as
two of the greatest crews the crimson and
blue ever possessed.
Besides his splendid showing In the big
event. Coach Wrsy had the additional sat
isfaction of winning both the freshman
eight and tho 'varsity four-oared race.
Harvard Wins Preliminary Events.
Harvard won In splendid fashion the first
two races of the annual Yale-Harvard re- j
gatta on the Thames todsy, these being I
the 'varsity four-oared and the freshmen
eight. These crews rowed magnificently
nnd Harvard had to use every ounce of
Its power and to play every muscle that
the men had trained for this event. The
'varsity oared race of two miles went to
Harvard by what Is officially declared to
be a length and the freshmen race went to
the same crew by an official length and
three-quarters.
The: official time of tho races was as
follows;
'Vnrsltv Four Half mile. Hnrvard l:4.r.
Yale 2:48"; one mile, Harvard 5:3. Yale 6:3S;
mile and a half, Harvard 8:30. Yale 8:34;
finish. Harvard 11:22. Ynle 11:28.
Freshmen Eight Hair mtie. Harvard j:vi.
Yale 2:12; one mile, Harvard 4:52, Yale 5:0";
mile and a half. Harvard 7:26, Yale 7;S1;

At noon the expectation was thnt the
'varsity eights would row at 4:S0, but the
captains nt 3 o'clock will meet and set the
tlmo and direction.
Both racos were magnificently contested.
This afternoon It was announced that It
had been decided to row the 'varsity race
up stream, starting at the bridge at New
London and finishing opposite Red Top.
This wns according to the original plan.
The reason for this decision was that the
wind had shifted from the north to almost
south, thus affording both a favorable tide
and a favorable wind for a row up stream.

Rear Admiral Skrydoloff In an Interview

but he does not believe the Japanese will
undertake the Investment of Vladivostok
until they have tried conclusions with Gen

thinks will prove moderate, since Japan is
too far-seeing to desire the haunting night
