NODS GREW OPEHS FIRE ON VLADIVOSTOK Torpedo Boat Sailors Attack Town Forts and Four Warships.

SHELLS SLAY IN THE STREET

Bursting Projectiles Deluge City and Harbor till Vessel Flying the Eed Flag is Riddled.

Vladivostok, Oct. 20. Vladivostok tva3 bombarded ,.nd a torpedo boat riddled with shells today durlnj? the progress of a desperate little naval battle started by mutinous sailors. Buildings were shattered in the town and several persons killed In the streets. In the excitement the heavy guns in the fort and the soldiers stationed there opened fire on the harbor where five warships were engaged In a close range fight, regardless of the shipping at anchor. The mutineers finally were subdued, but not before several officers and sailors had been "killed and wounded and the town thrown into a panic. The naval battle came as a sequel to the meeting of a battalion of sappers who yesterday fired on the barracks. Machine guns were turned on the mutineers and several were killed. Pierce Battle IleKlns Suddenly. Early in the day the torpedo boat Skory, the gunboat Mandschur, and the destroyers Garsovoz Pmely and Serditz were lying peacefully at anchor outside the harbor. Suddenly there was a disturbance on the Skory. A little later Its anchor was hoi5tcd aboard, a red flag run to the mast head, and the torpedo boat steamed Into the harbor. Without warning It opened fire on the town and forts. Before any one realized what had occurred shells were exploding in the streets and torpedoes bursting . under the forts. As quickly as they could get under way the gunboat and destroyers followed the Skory Into the harbor. By this time the artillery In the forts had opened on the torpedo boat. The other boats also attacked it with every gun they could bring to bear. The fight lasted until the Skory was battered helpless and most of its mutinous crew killed or wounded. Torpedo Uont FIrMm Unrtl. Before It was rendered helpless the Skory Inflicted considerable damage on the other warships as well as on the town and forts. Those of the mutineers on the torpedo boats who escaped the deluge of shells leaped overboard and swam ashoro where soldiers were waiting to capture them. The Skory was beached to prevent Its sinking. Among the men killed were Captain Kurosch, commander of the torpedo boat Smely, and Lieutenant Stoer, commander of the Skory; Llentenant Vassilief, commanding the Serditz, was wounded. Vladivostok has been declared in a State of siege. It is believed agitators including a number of Jews incited the mutiny on the Skory. Nfwn Stnrilen St. l'etersburst. St. Petersburg, Oct. 30. Two abortive mutinies at Vladivostok, one in the army and the other in the navy, have again drawn attention to the conditions exisiting in the. two branches of the service. The revolutionists have resumed their active propaganda among the soldiers and sailors of Kussia, and they have been aided by the efforts which are being made to restore the discipline which became slack during the revolt of 1906. The efforts of the officers in both branches to this end have been attended with considerable success, but the tightening of the reins of control have aroused the discontent among the more lawless spirits, notably In the technical contingents o the army and the fleet.

Now York. Oct. 31. The grand Jury f.lod six Indictments yesterday against Baymoiul Hitchcock. the comedian playing In "The Yankee Tourist" at the Astor theatre. The Indictments charge attacks on young girls. Hitchcook was notified last evening, through his counsel, Hermann Frommo, to appear today before Judge Crain of General sessions. He had been out on ?3,000 ball since his arrest on the complaint of Helen Von Hagen, 15 years old. It is believed that the actor has lied the country. Three girls, "Hlsie Voocks, Flora Whlston. and Helen Von Hagen, appeared before the grand jury as witnesses. They were examined by Assistant IMstrii't Attorney ilarvan. Supt. Moore and Agent lMsarrl of the Gerry society also testified. The hearing on Hitchcock's complaint of extortion against . Hugo C. Voecks Is set for today. Hitchcock. Snlln for Europe f Mr. Hitchcock did not appear at either the matinee or night performance yesterday. Wallace Beery, who has been his understudy for two years, took the leading role. The house was comfortably filled at both performances. Mr. Beery looked much like Mr. Hitchcock and many in the audience did not know the difference. Morris Kirby, Mr. Hltchcocks personal representative, said last, night that the latter had not been seen since 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Kirby said It was his opinion that the

comedian had sailed on the White Star liner Majestic for England. Kirby said that the actor's wife. Flora Zabelle, called up Mr. Wagenhalls of Wagenhalls & Kemper early yesterday afternoon and told him that Mr. Hitchcock had left home at 0 o'clock in the morning, saying , that he was going to take a Turkish bath. That was the last she saw of hirn. Search for HI in la Futile. Mrs. Hitchcock said that her husband had passed a sleepless night and had told her he wanted to brace up so that he could go on for the matinee. He had only a few dollars in his pockets, but wore valuable diamond rings. Every bathhouse in town was called up on the telephone and many clubs, but no trace of the missing actor was found. The Hitchcocks moved In from their country home at Great Neck two weeks ago and of late have been living at the Hotet Flanders. Mrs. Hitchcock was persuaded to go on at both performances, but she collapsed several times and had to cut out several of her songs. She had no understudy and it was at the urgent request of the management that she appeared. Henry Savage announced last night that he would keep tho play running for the remainder of the engagement, which is less than two weeks, with Wallace Beery in the leading role.

EARTHQUAKE KILLS 1.5D0 Karatagh in Hussar District of Bokhara, Blotted Out By Landslide.

Tashkend, Russian Turkestan, Oct. 30. The little town of Karatagh, in the Hussar district of Bokhara, has been overwhelmed and completely destroyed by a landslide that followed the earthquake of Oct. 21. According to the latest reports of the disaster, a majority of the inhabitants of Karatagh lost their lives. The first reports of the casualties were exaggerated, the death list being placed as high as 15,000, but Karatagh has only about 2,500 dwellers, and there is reason to believe that about 1,500 were buried alive. Among those who survived the disaster are the governor of Karatagh and his mother. Karatagh is remotely situated, and it takes a full week for news to get out from there, but according to one courier who has come through an enormous section of the Karatagh mountain, which practically hung over the town, broke loose and thundered down upon the village. Karatagh is noted for its manufactures of sabers, cutlery, and fine silks, and is used as a summer resort by the people of Hussar, a larger town and capital of the district of Hussar. It is located In a mountainous country at an elevation of 2,500 feet tbove the level of the sea.

HARVARD PROFESSOR AGCUSESPRESIDEHT Beef Decision in Chicago is Theme of Sensational Address.

THIRD TERM IDEA IS ATTACKED

Stirason Declares That Executive is Converting Country Into Abject Slavery Power Too Great.

Boston, Mass., Oct. 30. Professor Frederic J. Stimson of Harvard, lecturing on "The Liberties of the People" at the university last night, declared that: "It Is credibly rumored In the high places of my profession that a certain judge had rebuked President Roosevelt when the latter 'or his agent' had approached him to ask what the court would do if the famous beef trust case was appealed. Itrcall 1'reHidentinl Remarks. "You may remember," said Professor Stimson, "the very severe criticism imposed by the president upon one Judge for his decision sustaining the people's liberties. The judge's decision, given in the Chicago beef trust prosecution, was referred to with angy disapproval by the president in an official document. "And I may tell you that It is credibly rumored In the high places of my profession that a certain other judge a higher judge was approached by the president or his agent and asked whether he would affirm this decision If It were appealed and came before his court; and we lawyers are told that that judge who has recently been In Boston made the same answer that the great Coke made to King James: 'Sir, when that case comes before me for judgment I will consider it as becometh a just judge.' 'lne Hour I. aw. "The president seems to think that if he makes up his mind that a nine hour law in factories is right, that very fact should authorize the federal government to impose It on all the states. I do not believe we shall part with the dearly won heritage of liberty or any momentary Impulse to right a present wrong." Professor Stimson proceeded to urge that President Rocsevelt's interpretation of the phrase, "commerce among the several states," would alter our constitution more radically than any amendment could do. The states would lose control of their business affairs, and everything would be as completely, but more hopelessly, under the government at Washington, as the English of the twelfth century were under the power of the royal chief justice, the royal chancellor, and the legislation of the Norman kings. Says Power Is Too Great. "Our president," said Profess-or Stimson in closing, "has far greater powers than the English constitutional king. That was the reason that led the founders to regard that part of our constitution with so much apprehension, and that was the reason that led George Washington to decline election for a third term, an example which has been followed by all our presidents from his time until now."

PEARL REUNITES HI!

With $1,000 Gem Poor Riverman Buys Houseboat, and Sends for Family. Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 30. A pearl taken from a clam in the Mississippi river Is responsible for the reunion of Haman Smiee and his family in Chicago, from whom he had long been separated because of misfortune and poverty. The husband was fairly delirious with joy when his wife and little ones

returned to him today. Rivermen, almost as poor as Smlce himself, who had known of his sorrow over his separation from his family, shed tears when they saw Smiee, his wife, and children reunited. When Smiee found the pearl which brought him happiness, he had little realization of its value. Friends advised him to take it to a Jeweler in Rock Island and inquire its value. Smiee could hardly wait to get the money when the jeweler offered him $1,000 for the pearl. With part of the money Smiee purchased a houseboat. Then he wired money to his wife to come and join him. When she arrived today he made her a present of the houseboat and gave her a check book on a local bank for the remainder of the $1,000.
