Yean Jewish Woman Killed and Escort Fatally Wounded Her Brothers and Plater Held for Crime. NEW TORK.x Aug. 1 An attempt to as sault a lone woman today on a west side street adds another rase to the long Hat of attacks made on women and children In the streets of New Tork. Despite the vigi lance of the police, who have been doing double duty to prevent a further spread of the crime wave, the attack would have' been successful had It not been for the desperate struggle of Adelaldo Wlldrer, a trained nurse, who fought her assailant with a hat pin and finally routed him. Miss Wildrer's screams brought the police, pursued the man to Central park, where he was brought to bay with a fusillade of bullets from the revolvers of the officers. The man said he was Pletro Daurlo, an Italian peddler. Miss Wlldrer was walking home early to day after attending a patient. Near Man hattan avenue and One Hundrdth and Sixth street an Italian accosted her. When she repulsed him the Italian knocked her down with his flat and clutching her throat with his hand dragged her to the stoop of an apartment house. Miss Wlldrer man aged to withdraw a hat pin from her hat and Jabbing her assailant caused htm to loosen his hold on her throat. Miss Wlld rer screamed for help and the Italian fled. Policemen heard her cries and gave chaae. The Italian ran to Central park and the policemen fired a volly of shots at the fleeing man, who leaped the park wall and hid under a clump of bushes. He whs dragged out by the police and Identified by Miss Wlldrer, who, despite the fact that she had been half strangled and beaten badly about the face, had given chase to her assailant with the police. Daurlo de clared that he was Innocent. DAYTON. O., Aug. C Abe Cohan, who was shot while accompanying Anna Marxo wits, who was choked to death by a criminal assailant, died today. Owing to his delirious condition, the information he gave concerning the tragedy is considered by the authorities to be of little value. EIGHT HOURS TO UNTIE KNOT Strange Divorce Ceremony Finally Separates Sir. and Mrs. 'Wool f Zacharla. DES MOINES, la., Aug. 6.-(Speela1.) By a ceremony that extended through eight hours, Mr. and Mrs. Woolf Zach aria were Sunday ecclesiastically divorced by Rabbi li. Zeltzig, says a Des Moines newspaper.' It was the first Jewish church ulvorce that has been consummated In jeg Moines for many years and was wlt- ni.gge(i by some thirty people. Mrs. Zacharla secured a legal divorce some weeks ago In the district court of rpolk county. Such divorces, however, are not recognized by the church, and It was necessary to appeal to the rabbi for a church separation. After tho custom of, the church the de cree of divorce was translated Into the Hebrew script. It required twelve lines, neatly printed with a goose quill pen. This required four hours. The remainder of the time was consumed by the ceremony. ; The decree was signed by the four old I Chicago vested with the power to grant church divorces. After the decree was translated the ceremony was performed. One of the Interesting phases of the ceremony was the breaking of the mar riage vows. Mrs. Zacharla stoo'd with her hands together and palms extended up ward. Rabbl Zeltzig pronounced In Hebrew the church words of separation. Then the husband laid the decree in the hands of his spouse. With witnesses she retired to a separate room and placed the decree In her bosom. She reappeared with this still pressed against her heart and announced cubllcly that she was satisfied with the ' separation and the provisions made for "Pration ana me prowsions mauo iur ; her by her husband.

PARIS, Aug. 1 Captain Tsunola, the Japanese military attache here, who. while on the staff of Oeneral Nogl conducted the negotiations for the surrender of Port Arthur, In an open letter today defem'.s General Stoessel, the defender of the fort ress, on the eve of the lattcr's trial by court-martial for the surrender to the Japanese. All the Russians' food was ex hausted and the 30.000 Russians under arms were, he said, In no share to tight. Ptoesrcl, he said, might have held out for a fort night longer, but the result would have been an Inevitable massacre, In which It would have been difficult to distinguish combatants from non-combatants. Captain Tsunoda said: "If others forget It, we remember Port Arthur cost us 00.000 lives by gun fire alone. We dug forty kilometres of parallels and expended 30,uo0,'to rounds of ammunition. European history chronicles tho glorious capitulation of Port Arthur, and It Is so considered In Japan. That Is why the emperor of Japan ordered General Nogl to treat General Stoessel with all the honors due to a gallant soldier His own country should treat him likewise."

Senator Robert M. LaFollette arrived In Omaha Tuesday morning and was met at Union station by Mr. Kerr of the Iiellevue summer assembly. He was the orator of the day at the assembly. The first thing that strikes one Is the fact that Senator LaFollette Is physically Ing. The little, shapeless brown felt hat pulled far down over the left eye, the thick bristling grey hair brushed back over his ears, the slate colored trousers and long frock coat of the same color, all are Unique. Nor Is the distinguished sen ator a lou-spoken man ordinarily. But mention railroads or corporations and his grey ej-es light up with a fierce light; he closes the right one, fixes his auditor with the left and launches forth, tapping home his points with a long forefinger on the coat lapel of his hearer. In that moment I-aFollette Is transformed Into a David to fight , the giant of corporations. And he makes one feel that he will pick the most death-dealing pebble from the brook and send It with the most unerring aim and the greatest force straight to the unprotected portion of the, corporation's anatomy. Looktna for Rest. Senator LaFollette said he wanted to get to some place where he could be alone nnd rest. A description of the chnrms of Bellevue made him decide at once in favor of that place. On the car he talked to a reporter for The Bee. "The fine Imposed by Judge Landls on the Standard Oil company was by no means too heavy," he said. "No fine could be too great for such a crime. It Is too bad that the Imprisonment penalty had been taken from that law, for the violation of which the fine of . SM.!40,000 was Im posed. Of course, this fine pleases the people, but there can bo no doubt that by putting on the screws a little harder here and thera over Its vast properties, the corporation will make the people pay It. "Can this be remedied? Certainly. Sup pose, for example, that the punishment for a violation of this law were to be made a fine of one-half the corporation's entire property foi the first offense and the other half for the second offense. Do you think they would risk breaking the laws with such a penalty threatening them? I don't believe the principle of vested rights would stand In the way of the passage of such an act. w Half-Way Measure flow. "This country must either capitulate to the trusts and corporations or It must con trol them. I believe It will control them. Half-way measures won't do much good. We have only Just driven 1n the thin end of the wedge. Take the railroads. The establishment of the Interstate Commerce commission and the passage of the rate bill are all very good, but they are by no means adequate. Seven men cannot at tend to the regulation of the ratea on the vast system of railroads to which the peo- ple of the United States pay annually more I torlum. at which addresses will be dellv than It costs to run all the governments, ered Dy Governor .Johnson. Mavor 8mlth national, state and municipal. The admin istrative department of the commission must be expanded and enlarged. "The next thing to do Is to get at the value of the railroads and a correct state ment of their gross income and expenses. With this data to work on the commis sion can arrive at an Intelligent under standing of what a fair profit to the rail roads Is and from that can deduce what are Just railroad rates. Under the law as it now stands the commission cannot do this, it can consider disputes between two shippers, but It cannot determine what Is a fair rate. That can only be done when an Intimate knowledge of the Inside af fairs of each railway system Is known. "The rebating evil must also be at tacked at Its root. Of course there are a hundred ways of giving rebates to favorod shippers. For example, damages can be allowed them on their shipments. "I am not a pess'mlst. My attitude is the very opposite. I believe this govern ment Is big enough and this people strong enough to put the corporations which are operating In direct violation of the laws under their feet." Thls, of course, will bo the main line I of my efforts In the senate during the coming session. am wonting very nara now and have dates to fill until November. I believe the American people must be educated to a full realization of the evils and dangers of the corporations. I send out a great deal of literature. It Is my propaganda. I hire a man who attends only to supplying printed matter on the subject to those who desire It." Senator LaFollette referred to the work cf the late Edward Rosewater, with whom he had extensive correspondence on politi cal matters.

The accident ooeurred at a sharp cut-re,- which prevented the engineer from seeing any considerable dis tance ahead of him.

CREAM RATE HEARING Nebraska Railway Commission Listens to Evidence. . EXPRESS COMPANIES ASK RAISE j Commercial Club of Omaha Protests Against Increr.se. ;a,g- SOME CREAMERIES ALSO OBJECT Companies Insist Higher Rate Helps Small Local Creameries. DIFFERENCES OYER THAT POINT Many Cannot See Where Increased Rate Wool Help Anyone Klcrpt the Kaprraa t'timpnny hlch Transports Crrauta (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 8. (Special.) Tho hear ing before the Stale Hallway commission, on the application of tho Western TralllO association for permission to lucreaso the rate on cream, which waa on all day, wat noticeable for the absence of farmers and owners of cows and the great Interest ths creameries and tho railroads and express companies take In the farmer. The super intendent of the Pacific. Express company, G. I). Patterson, was on the stand until late this afternoon when J. L. Uurtla, who Is Interested In a oo-opcratlvo cream ery company at Carrollton, began to tes tify. This man was the witness of Frank Gaines, representing the railroads and ex press companies, and after telling of ths capacity of his plant, and how tho revenues were divided, ho was asked how much money the concern nmde In comparison with the central creameries. This lead to a lengthy debate between Hairier anj Smith, representing the central creameries, and Mr. Guinea as to the almlsslon of this testimony, when the commission finally concluded to allow him to answer the, question, It being understood this question would lead to question regarding tho price paid for cream In Nebraska and other states, together with a comparison of rates, the attorneys started another ar gument. The witness finally worked It In that his company paid 22 cents for. cream and the Beatrice Creamery company 20 cents. Most of tho day was devoted to dis cussions between tho attorneys and little of any particular bearing on the question at Issue was brought out." In beginning at tho suggestion of Mr. Halner and A. W. Jcfferls, representing the Commercial club i of Omaha, Mr. Onlnes set out that the real parties at Interest In the matter were the railroad doing business In Nebraska and the Pacific Express company, Mr. Jcf ferls discussed at length the provisions of the Sibley 26 per cent reduction law, and told how the express companies were trying to evade them. This Is Just another scheme, he said, to get around that law. Kxnrrns Company's Position. Mr. Patterson testified In answer to ques tions that the present rate on cream was the original milk rste put In at a tlmo a ran of milk was Valued at tl At that time Mr. Patterson said the milk was ship ped to skimming stations and the express companies handled the finished products. But at this time the shin ors were all using hand separators and were shipping only what la known as butterfat. one ran of which equals about seven cans of milk. They are now carrying ,thls butterfat at milk rates, which, he said. Is out of all proporltlon to other merchandise, which Is shipped at not less than 40 cents per 100 pounds. Up to thirty miles m'lk or cream Is shipped at 15 cents per 100 pounds. The express companies dlsovered the ship pers were sending out butterfat Instead of milk when bills were sent In for spill ing the milk. The bills called for 22 to 18 tances In the state, Mr. Patterson salJ, was from 27 to 80 cents. The cans are returned free. What the express companies carry 1n the milk line, he said. Is at less than freight rates, though the shipment goaa on the passenger train. "This should not be characterised as a fight over cream rates," volunteered Mr. Patterson, "but tt Is simply a matter of Justice. We should not be compelled t haul fat at the same rate as milk." Cross Kxamlnntlon, Attorney Halner put Patterson through a red-hot cross-examination and brouht j added costs of doing business. When the present rate went Into effect the American was only handling twenty-five cans of milk a day and now It is handling 1,000 cans; that tne compeny ima auu.-u mii milk trucks to Its equipment during the last six months, though these trucks were used for other purposes besides haullnf cream on them; that Is costs no more t" haul a can of cream than It does milk! that the Increased business adds to tho revenue of the company; that the salary ,of the employes has not been Increased; that the Union Pacific practically owns the Pacific Express company and the ex press business Is merely a department of the railroad business; that In small places the railroad agent acts as the agent of thi express company.
