flUSSU CAIIIIOT BUY SHIPS FUNK OLD GLORY

Xo Vessel That Sails Under the Stars and Stripes Can Be Disposed Of. WAR SUPPLIES DIFFERENT WASHINGTON, April 22. The United States government has had no official information of the sales persistently report ed from Europe of American ships to either Russia or Japan. There already has been some speculation in official circles as to whether or not such sales could be per mitted, and one thing is quite certain, namely, that no vessel under the American flag could be allowed to pass directly into the possession of the government of either belligerent state. This Is said to be true of merchant ships as well as warships, as the former might easily be transformed to cruisers , or used as troop transports and the spirit of modern international law is said to be decidedly against the transfer of any floating property to a belligerent which could be used for warlike purposes. There is a line of difference between ships and war supplies. The latter may properly be regarded as merchandise. But to the official mind there is doubt of the right to prohibit the sale of an American ship of the merchant class to an individual citizen of one of the belligerent powers or to the citizen of a third power unless it can be. very clearly established that the vessel is not to pass to the possession of one. of the beligerent governments. It happens there are no warships in the United States which can be sold, all being United States government 'property, so that the question is reduced to that of merchant vessels and that phase is receiving careful attention. The principles laid don by the Geneva arbitration in the famous Alabama case are of course the guiding marks for our government in treating this subject and they have been generally accepted as. international law by all maritime powers, so the reported sale of German vessels built under the subsidiary acts and rated as possibly auxiliary cruisers, has been the subject of discussion between the law officers. HIS CHARITY MADE A POLICEMAN SUSPICIOUS Kindly Man, "Touched" Twice, Is Told He Cannot "Make a Book" in the Street. NEW YORK, April 22. In a noon hour lunch crowd at Chambers and Center streets, in front of the Typographical Union's rooms, was a man. of medium height, neatly dressed and with kindly bewhiskered face. Present' ' a sad-looking figure with a slight unsteadiness of step approached. Neither knew the other, but both were printers, and that In itself was enough. The sad-looking Individual told the other a sad, sad story of hard luck and the sympathetic comrade placed a quarter in the shaky hand of his companion. The sadlooking individual immediately disappeared Into the surrounding group and a policeman became interested. "What yer got?" said another sad-looking individual, as his brother in misfortune reappeared. "I got a quarter. He's easy; strike him yourself." And presently another approached the man with the kindly face, told a similar story of hard luck and also received a quarter.- . The policeman on the other side saw and wondered. He came over to the man with the kindly face, and that individual noted his approach with surprise. "Say, boss," said the policeman, "I have been watching you for the last ten minutes, and I want to tell you right now that -I won't stand for your making a book right here in the street." The man with the kindly face walked away without a word, and the policeman congratulated himself on having done his duty. ' SEVEN NATIONALITIES INVOLVED IN A SUIT Italian Woman, Chinamen, Greek Driver, Irish Policeman, Hebrew Coroner and Two Others. NEW YORK, April 22. There was a mixture of nationalities more or les3 involved In the trial of an action before Judge Fitzgerald and a Jury in the Supreme Court, irrespective of the jury itself, which Is always composed of men of all classes, natives and foreigners. The action was brought by Angella Ella, widow of Francesco Elia, an Italian, to recover $50,000 damages from the Chinese importing firm of . Quong Tai Ching & Co. for the loss of her üusband, who was killed by one' of this concern's wagons. Thirty Chinamen aro said to be the members of this firm. William Capri, a Greek, was the driver of the wagon said to have run down Ella. The arrest was made by a native of the Emerald Isle, and a Hebrew coroner acted upon the case and discharged the Greek driver. A German doctor attended Eila, whose death occurred four days after he was injured. John Palmierl, an Italian lawyer, appeared for the widow in the case, and an American firm, Cantwell & Moore were counsel for the Chinese firm, which set up contributory negligence on the part of Elia. After some hours consideration the Jury gave the widow a "verdict for Ji?), but it was at once set aside at the request of both sides, and another trial will be had. DEATHS OF A DAY.

Wayside stations have been organized everywhere to give the soldiers on their march hot meal?, waim shelter and comfortable beds. A Red Cross Hospital has been established here, and a flying field detachment has been sent out with pack horses and trained, dogs to find wounded men.

Rumors of severe fighting on tho Yalu pre reported in various forms and from various points. For instance, the Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Tost says he hears that the first Japanese army has crossed the Yalu almost without opposition, and the Chronicle's correspondent at Seoul says that heavy fighting has occurred, but that for strategic reasons it is impossible to 8tnd particulars. No authentic news, however, has reached London showing that anything has happened beyond skirmishing. According to the Telegraph's St. Petersburg correspondent, the Russian strategists are reluctantly arriving at the conviction that General Kuroki is engaged in the adventurous plan of advancing along the middle reaches of the Yalu river via Kang-Ge, and, despite enormous difficulties. Is moving his army over the mountain paths, his purpose being to outflank the Russian position on the right bank of the Yalu. LONDON, April 22. A dispatch to the Central News from Port Arthur says news has been received there of the complete destruction of a Japanese column on tho Yalu. No details, it is added, were obtainable. NEW YORK, -April 22. The Japanese are reported to have bombarded Nieu-Chwang, says a World dispatch from St. Petersburg.

There is no confirmation of the story. ST. PETERSBURG, April 22. The Associated Press is authorized to announce that the government at this hour has received nothing to confirm the report of the alleged bombardment of Nieu-Chwang or the landing of Japanese troops in that vicinity. AMERICANS HELD AS JAPANESE SPIES ST. PETERSBURG, April 22. An Associated Press correspondent called the attention of the Foreign Office here to the telegram of the Harbin correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, published yesterday in the United States, to the effect that four unarmed American citizens were held as Japanese spies at Mukden; that aa American named Reilly and a Canadian named Davidson had mysteriously disappeared from Iukden under circumstances that raised suspicion of foul play. The Foreign Office replied that they had no information whatever upon the subject, and do not believe that the statement can be true, since any action affecting foreigners would be immediately repotted. It is their belief that the statement is unfounded. SHER BROOKE, Que, April 2L-The Davidson referred to in the Berlin dispatch as missing in Manchuria is believed to be William Davidson, son of Chief of Tolice Davidson, of this city. Mr. Davidson has been in Port Arthur since 1S38 as agent of the American Trading Company and Ckirkson & Co. His parents have heard nothing from him since tho war began and it was believed that he had remained in Port Arthur. ALEXIEFF REPORTS FIGHTING OF SCOUTS ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.

Moyer," president of the Western Federatlon of Miners, who is held as a military prisoner under orders of Governor Peabody, shall be released on bail, pending a decision as to the Governor's right to declare martial law and the other points in the habeas corpus case. Meanwhile, Mr. Moyer has been removed from Denver in custody of the troop and will again be imprisoned at Teiluride. Governor Peabody has given no assurance that he will comply with the court's order should the Judges decided to release Mr. Moyer on bail, but thus far the Governor has not openly defied the Supreme Court, although he denies its jurisdiction over military prisoners. William D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation, who en gaged in a fight with the militia on their arrival in Denver with Mr. Moyer yesterday, is now in the custody of Sheriff Armstrong on the warrant issued in this city charging him with desecrating the flag.

L WHILE MAKING SPEECH Unusual Incident During Debate on Trades Union Bill Creates Sensation in London. BILL PASSES THE HOUSE LONDON, April 22.-While speaking in support of the trades union bill, which today passed the second reading in the House of Commons by a vote of 23S to 199, Winston Spencer Churchill, toward the close of his speech, suddenly lost the thread of his argument, and after a pause of some moments, during which he thrice essayed to resume, Mr. Churchill sat down in some confusion without finishing and amid sympathetic cheers. i It was said to-night that Mr. Churchill's sudden termination of his speech was due to the fact that he failed to remember a quotation with which he intended to conclude. He participated in the division. The incident at first created some sensation because it vividly recalled the breakdown of Lord Randolph Churchill. Mr. Churchill's father, while speaking, shortly before his death. The bill passed "to-day is one legalizing peaceful picketing and amending the law of conspiracy in connection with trade disputes and protecting trades union funds against legal process for damage caused by the action of members of such unions.

E WARNED OF PROBABLEJHTERVEHTIOII European Powers Jealous of the Growth of the Island Kingdom's Influence. GERMANY MAY ACT FIRST TOKIO, April 22. Two significant speeches "were made to-day at the meeting of the councilors of the' Progressive party. Count Okumaua warned the people ot Japan to be prepared for intervention during the war by some European power, and also for a great increase in the national expenditure after the war. He said it would be necessary after the termination of hostilities to float a loan of at least $230.000,000.. Masams Oishi. the Progressive party leader, expressed the belief , that Germany would take, the initiative in intervention, and declared that no power would welcome Japan's preponderance in the far East. Many of the powers, he added, were prepared to resort" to all means" to curb-the extension of Japanese influence. M. Oishi criticised the foreign policy of Japan, saying the white book showed, clearly 'that the concessions offered to Russia would have been a national calamity had Russia accepted the lenient terms offered by Japan. The Progressive party constitutes a third of the Diet, and its members generally op pose the government, of which Premier Katsura is the head. "GET-RICH-QUICK" IN WESTERN UNIVERSITY Faculty at Michigan Looking Into Practices of Students Said to Be Reprehensible. ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 22.-The University of Michigan has created a board to supervise everything except athletics. Its principal mission is to look after the student "get-rich-quick" schemes. Students were found to be earning from $10 to $G00 each out of college honor offices. The most reprehensible of these schemes was the two price-class rate, by which a class emblem, the pin perhaps, was sold to the student pin committee at $1 and retailed to the class at $1.25. Manufacturers secretly offered the rate, and the student committeeman pocketed the extra quarter as pay .for his work. Then there are the traditional social events, involving the handling of thousands of dollars, all by boys. In one of these, the editorial board of the Michiganensium. a year book, originated the scheme of printing the portrait of every alumnus in America, Europe and Africa for the fee of $1 a portrait.

Although the police dragnet was again spread last night, loiterers who have infested the city were not so numerous, and the list of arrests was greatly decreased. It is still the policy of the officers to gather in all suspicious characters and to have it understood abroad that Indianapolis will not shelter men of this class. Ed Horn. 1631 Thalman avenue, and John Hays, 630 East New York street, were arrested as loiterers. Others in Jail last night were John McCarty, 917 Church street: John Duffey, 107 Douglass street; Marion Summerfteld, 112 Minkcr street: Clarence Boyd, Lafayette street, and Arthur Singhurse, 4G3 West Court street.

CRIMES OF THE TRIO; BATTLE IN INDIANA CHICAGO, April 22. The crimes charged against Van Dine, Neidermeyer and Marx were numerous. Following are the names of persons they were known to have murdered: BAUDER, Otto, in saloon of Ernest Spires, July 19, 1903. LAGROSS, Benjamin C, in his saloon, Aug. 17. JOHNSON, Adolph, in saloon of Benjamin C. Lagross. Aug. 1. JOHNSON, J. B., motorman. in robben' of Chicago City Railway car barns, Aug. SO. STEWART. Frank, clerk, in robbery of Chicago City Railway barns, Aug. Go. QUINN, John, detective, while trying to arrest Marx, Nov. 21. DRISCOLL, J. D., detective, wounded by Neidermeyer in fight at "dugout" Nov. 27, died Dec. 1. SOVIA. John, brakeman, when bandits stole train in Indiana, Nov. 27. The specific offense for which Van Dine, Neidermeyer and Marx were tried and sentenced was the murder of Frank Stew art, a clerk in the Chicago City Railway car barns, during a robbery there on the morning of Aug. SO, 1903. James B. Johnson, a motorman, was also killed, and two persons . were wounded. The bandits escaped after having secured $2,240. Roeski, a "pal," was not concerned in this crime, but after the conviction of his companions was tried separately for one of the mur ders In which he was the principal, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The bandits were captured after a con fession by Marx, who had been arrested in a saloon on Thursday evening, Nov. 26 Less than a week after the confession of Marx word was received that three men answering the descriptions of the car barn bandits were In hiding near Clark. Ind Seven policemen were immediately sent to the town, arriving there Friday morning They were met by Henry F. Riechers, who nad reported the clew, and who had secret ly traced the trio to a "dugout" in the sand dunes, where they were living. With Riechers as a guide the police, armed with rifies and revolvers, and led by Detective John H. Sheehan, waited till daybreak and then started for the snow-covered cave. near the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks at llsons, a short distance from Clark. Surrounding the abode, the officers pre pared for the fight which they expected would follow, while Sheehan approached and opened the door of the "dugout." One or the bandits who was immediately reo ognized as Roeski, appeared and was ordered to surrender. Instead he darted back into the cave No sooner had he done so than firing began and volley after volley aimed at the officers came from the mag azine guns of the bandits. Concealing themselves behind trees and bushes as best they could, the police steadily returned the fire. In this manner the fight continued for a short time. Suddenly two of the outlaws jumped from tho cave and escaped across the frozen prairie, keeping up a fusillade as they ran. Detective Driscoll advanced to the "dugout" and was firing at the fleeing desperadoes when Neidermeyer the police thought there had been but two in the hollow emerged, fatally shot him in the back and joined his companions, while the other policemen were still engaging the outlaws. A moment later Detective Zimmer fell, seriously wounded, but neither side yielded. Some minutes later, however, the police, being obliged to care for the two wounded detectives and finding their fire falling short, decided to give up the fight temporarily, and send to Chicago for reinforcements. The bandits continued their flight. A special train with fifty policemen armed with rifles was rushed to the scene, and the hunt renewed. Although escape was now impossible, the men snowed no signs of submission. They had not halted since firing their last volley, and arrived at Tolliston exhausted, but still determined to avoid capture. On a side track at Tolleston, on which the section men were working, stood an engine and a train of cars. Then followed the execution of a quickly formed plan to seize the train and escape. The three outlaws jumped into the engine and confronted Fireman Coffey, the engineer being away at the time. At first Coffey did not notice that trfley were armed. Brakeman John Sovia did, hew ever, and crawled over the tender, evidently to warn him. Sovia attempted to take the revolver from Neidermeycr while the other two bandits pointed their revolvers at Coffey. The scuffle was short and Sovia pitched head foremost out of the cab with a bullet in his brain, dying almost ir.stantly. With their guns still pointed at Coffey's head, the trio ordered him hastily to lake the train out of the siding and it started on a wild run to Liverpool. In the woods, a short distance away, were a number of armed farmers, who, having heard of the escapade and escape of the outlaws, started to intercept them. The posse reached Tolleston at noon. Just as the train passed. They rushed across the prairie to a point where the road curves, and where there was a locked switch, compelling Fireman Coffey to stop. The posse opened fire as the train stopped, and the trio fled to a cornfield, exchanging shots as they ran. Charges from the guns of the farmers, under the leadership of Charles Hamilton, struck Neidermeyer and Van Dine, but die' not seriously wound either. The bandits, who had now made their last stand, were not deterred, and fired frequent volleys at their pursuers. Knowing that they were surrounded and that further resistance would be useless, the criminals some minutes later decided to surrender. Neidermeyer, the leader of the gang, who, Marx had said, never would be taken alive, being the first to do so. A few minutes afterward Van Dine abandoned the fight. While Van Dine and Neidermeycr were giving themselves up Roeski ilrd to the woods beyond Liverpool. The po?se found him later in a railroad station at Aetna, waiting for a train to Chicago. He made no reslFtance, was disarmed and brought to the city with the two other bandits. Detective Driscoll. who was shot by Neidermeyer, died four days later. While in jail Neidermeyer smilingly boasted of having killed twenty-three men. Marx asserted that he had murdered five. Investigation proved the statements to be untrue. It -developed that these "confessions" had been made to obtain notoriety, or for as small a consideration as a chew of tobacco. Of the eight known victims of the bandits four are thought to have been killed by Neldermeyer alone. None of the bandits was twenty-five years old.
