NEW TORK. Keb. 12.-A wireless message i
from the tender Yankton, wlilch Is preced
ing tha Atlantic battleship fleet, now on Ita
a.v to Hampton Roads after Its cruise
around the world, was phked up shortly
after 4 o'clock hia morning by the wlrclens
station on Fire Island. The message was
as follows:
"Yankton, I p. i,,., February 11, latitude
32.44 north, longitude 52.04 west. Fleet. I4.3H
north, SO U west. Fine weather; speed 10ft
knots. Cruise uneventful."
This Is the first wireless communication
received on thia aide of the Atlantic from
the fleet or from any vessel accompanying
It' since tha departure from Gibraltar. Re
ceiving stations In this vicinity have thus
achieved a remarkable record In tha lust
twenty-four hours In picking up messages
from both tha Atlantic and the Pacific
fleet, a communication from tha battleship
New Hampshire, somewhere In southern
waters, having been picked up by the Coney
Island station of the United Wireless com
pany last night.
Another dispatch from tha Tankton, timed
at I p. m., on February 11, preaumably one
of several tt had sent In an effort to com
municate with tha shore, was received by
the navy wireless .station at Fire island
early today, it was less explicit in some
ways than the dispatch previously given,
but contained the Important Information
that the Yankton expected to arrive at
Hampton Roads on Wednesday next. The
dispatch gave the position of the tender as
previously Indicated and its coursn as
north 73 west," and added:
"Smooth sea. Expect to arrive at 'Hamp
ton Roada Wednesday. M'VAY. '
Fleet Mar Arrive Early.
. According to the longitude and lutitude as
given by the Yankton's commander the bat
tleships are about 1,080 miles west of Gibral
tar, with the Yankton MS miles ahead. This
places the Yankton only 640 miles east of
Bermuda and the fleet little over 2,000
miles from Hampton Roads.
The schedule as announced before tha de
parture of the vessels from Gibraltar said
that they would reach Hampton Roads
about February 23 or 21, but If their position
as Indicated by the wireless Is correct at
the present rate of speed they would arrive
on February 1 or 30. They left Gibraltar
February . In a longitudinal position the
ships last night were about twenty mllos
south of the A sores, which places them a
little south of a line drawn directly west
from Gibraltar.

neither have as yet made a definite an

Mr. O'Brien has just notified his friends
tha there Is "nothing doing." This mot

"I began with nothing, worked up a
pretty good business, and am now Just

there will be no danger of sliding back,

ALDERMAN KILLS HIMSELF
Disappointment Causes Chicago Poli

WARD CLUB TURNED HIM DOWN
With Defeat "farina; Hisa In 1st race
Joseph Kohosl, Long a Demo
cratic Leader, Sends Bal
let lata Brain.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Alderman Joseph F.
Kohout, long a democratic leader in tha
city council, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself , in the head in tha basement
of his home, 787 Douglas boulevard, today.
The politician had gone to the basement
while his wife was preparing breakfast.
As he did not return, she went in search
o( her husband and found him dead, with
a revolver by his side. He was partially
dressed and the Impulse to commit aulcida
seemed to have come to him suddenly.
Alderman Kohout was a candidate for
re-election, but was a participant in . a
spirited conies for the seat In the council.
During tha term of Mayor Dunne, Alderman
Kohout had been one of his staunchest sup
porters and was one of the leaders of the
council. He waa a lawyer and about 60
years old. A wife and two children sur
vive. Disappointment over the failure of his
ward club to Indorse him for renominatlon
la supposed to have prompted the suicide.
8everai democrats of the ward, under tha
new piimary law, bad petitions to go on the
ticket aa the regular democratic nominee
cf the ward. Alderman Kohout sought the
indorsement of his ward organisation, but
at a meeting last night, it was denied him.
Ills associate In the council,' Alderman
Nolan, also is said to have opposed his re
election and his defeat seemed probable.
The indorsement of the organisation waa
given to W. P. Ryan, and Alderman Kohout
did not attempt to concealhls chagiin and
despondency. During his incumbency aa
alderman he had frequently given way to
spectacular outbursts of anger.

gerous as the already manufactured article,
and therefore It may be permitted to relate
the dexterity of one Henry Pollock in
rolling the pesky little, things not aa an
example to emulate, but merely as a
warning to shudderSt,"-!
Pollock drives an excavator for a living
and has been at work- in the rear of The
Bee building for the Bran dels theater. To
direct a team of horses and at the same
time run the scoop might be thought to
necessitate almost three hands. A good
many men could not do It with two. Pol
lock can do all this and roll a cigarette at
the same time. Ills modus operandi is as
follows: The reins are looped over his
neck and with his left hand he guides the
scoop; with the right hand he rolls the
cigarette. History records others who
could roll 'em with one hand, but Pollock
is the, first to date who can do all the
rest at tha same time. Thus he follows
Josh Billings' advice and doea not let busi
ness Interfere with pleasure. Viva Pollock!

"In London there are seventy assoc atlont,

is not a single gymnasium In connection

thia la accounted for in some degree by the
tact that they have outdoors sports in Eng

Bites Into London fog;.
One of Mr. Wade's choice experiences was
a genuine London fog. While he was In
that city one of the worst fogs In history
settled1 down on It and the Omahan started
out to have some experiences. He found
he could not stand the air long and became
alightly 111 from breathing the fog. Many
people were killed during the day by tram
cars and other vehicles, while men with
flaming torches e the street eorners acted
sa guides to assist people across streets
that they might not be run over. The fog
was so dense and the breathing of It so dan
gerous that Mr. Wade says a number of
horses fell dead on the streets.
