APPEAL TO ALLY POPULAR DEMAND IN JAPAN TO INVOKE AID IN MATTER OF FRENCH NEYTRALITY. {SLANDERS TURN TOW_'_AKDS ENGLAND FRENCH ASSISTANCE TO ROJEST- VENSKY CONSIDERED ACT OF BELLIGERENCY. Tokio, May 10.—The feeling of re- sentment against France for the as- sistance given to the Russian Second Pacific squadron continues to run high and is finding expression in a variety of ways. The nearness of the Russian squadron and the nafure of the prep- arations which Admiral Rojestvensky is known to have made in French wa- ters seem to have suddenly convinced many people that it would have been Ampossible for Rojestvensky to come to the Far East without outside assist- ance, which has given a sinister tone to the popular resentment. In the crisis many eyes are turned towards Great Britain for assistance. It is argued that France rescued Ro- Jjestvensky from absgolute failure to reach the China Sea and that the final aid given to the-Russians in Indo-China amounts to an act of belligercii.y an. there are many demands that Japan invoke the alliance with Great Britain. Formerly a large section of the public was inclined to view with leniency the French acts of friendship for Russia on account of the former's delicate position as an ally and creditor. The suspicion that Rojestvensky was not a welcome guest at Kamranh bay and that he was presuming upon French hospitality also tempered the feeling of resentment, but recent events are removing these attitudes and the na- tional sentiment is uniting in uncondi- tional insistence that France preserve neutrality. The Japanese goyernment has not taken the people of the country into its confidence. Since the Kamranh bay incident nothing has heen officially made known except that the govern- meant was making vigorous representa- tions at Paris, whilsiprageeding care- fully and cautiously, not desiring to resort Lo extreme measures while a hope of an adjustment exists. MUST CARRY OUT PROMISE. Rojestvensky Ordered to Quit French Territorial Waters. Paris, May 10.—Orders have beeg sent to the civil and naval a2uthorities in French Indo-China not to permit the Junction within French waters of the Russian naval forces under Admiral Rojestvensky and Rear Admirdl Ne- bogatoff. Instructions have also heen sent to Admiral de Jonquieres, the French naval commander, to see that Rojestvensky fully observes the prom- ise he has already given to leave French waters. These orders resulted from the re- ceipt of a detailed dispatch giving an account of Admiral de Jonquieres' meeting with Rojestvensky. The dis- patch says the Russian squadron made a four days’ cruise on the high sea outside the three-mile limit and then returned last Saturday, anchoring at Konghai bay, coast of Annam, to take on provisions and fresh water. When Admiral de Jonquieres was informed of the Russians’ return he proceeded to Konghai and requested Admiral Ro- Jestveusky to immediately withdraw outside territorial waters. The Rus- sian admiral gave De Jonquieres his word that he intended to leave his anchorage and take to the open sea. He also informed De Jonquieres that in his communications with the land he had not violated any of the neutral- ity regulations and that the stops of the Russian squadron along the Indo- China coast were for the purpose of resting the crews. The Russian ad- miral said he would depart the follow- ing day. NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Russian View of Japanese Threats Against France. St. Petersburg, May 10.—The Japa- nese threats against France are not taken very seriously here. The Rus- sian authorities continue to maintain that Admiral Rojestvensky has not overstepped the limits of neutrality. In view of the excited state of the Japanese over the possibility of the fruits of their previous land and sea victories being swept away Japan's protests are considered quite natural, but” her miratory attitude toward a chivalrous country like France is re- garded as a blunder. While Great Britain is expected to support her ally #nd secure fair play should Japan press. France too far Great Britain, it is said, can be counted upon to use all her influence to calm the statésmen at Tokio. The interests of Japan could mnot be served, according to opinion here, by an extension of the hostilities unless Admiral Togo is beaten, in ‘which case it is not doubted that Japan will use the pretext of French violation of neutrality to demand the fulfillment St Great Britain's obligations to her ally. 'The opinion is held in some quarters that it is exactly this contin- gency whicheJapan has in view. Rojestvensky’s Fleet Sails. _ Nhatrang, Annam, May 10.—Admiral Rojestvensky’s squadron, which has : off Vau- WREGKED BY TORNADO RESIDENCE SECTION OF MAR- QUETTF, KAN., PARTIALLY DEMOLISHED. HEAYY LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY TWENTY-FOUR PERSONS KNOWN TO BE DEAD AND THIRTY- FIVE INJURED. Marquette, Kan.,, May 10.—Twenty- four persons are known to have been Killed and over thirty-five were in- jured. in a tornado, the most disastrous in the history of Central Kansas, which swept over this portion of the state at midnight. One large section of Mar- quette, where the principal loss of life occurred, was entirely wiped out. Reports from surrounding country show that the destruction to life and property was widespread and the list of dead and injured is growing con- stantly. The known dead are: Gus Anderson, Tillie Ellerson, Mrs. A. V. Anderson, Mrs. Elmer Huligren, Blanche Switzer, Lena Switzer, Nina Switzer, Anna Coulson, M. P. Nelson, wife and three children; A. Sjogren, Sr.; Olaf Hanson and wife, Gottfried Nelson, wife and child; Elmer Nelson, Mrs. Postier and child, Charles Rob- erts. When daylight broke over the town pit found the entire populaticn in a state ot panic. Business was entirely suspended and every one who escaped injury turned his attention toward aid- ing the wounded. The tornado seems to have formed three miles south of Marquette and did not spend its force until it had passed miany miles norih of the town. In Marquette the residence portion west of the main street suffered the principal damage. The houses in the course of the tornado were all, with two or three exceptions, completely wrecked. In this section there were a number of modern residences, of which only one,-the home of R. A. Thompson, was left standing. Several Churches Demolished. The Swedish Lutheran and Meth- odist churches were among the first buildings struck and they, together with the parsonage adjoining the Methodist church, were completely de- molished. The afternoon preceding the storm had been hot and oppressive, the at- mosphere loaded with electricity. Late in the evening a terrific rain storm broke over the town. The rain contin- ued to fall in torrents until 11:55, when the tornado struck Within less than five minutes it had wrought its terrible work and passed on. Tele- graph and telephone wires were car- ried down and it was several hours before the outside world could be ap- prised of the plight of the city. It was not until § o'clock that physi- clans and surgeons began arriving from surrounding towns. In the mean- time dozens of willing hands set to work to clear away the debris and ex- tricate the dead and injured. The Swedish Lutheran parsonage and sev- eral private residences were turned into temporary hospitals, while the dead were taken to the_ storeroom of Olaf Olson and laid out in rows. ‘When the missing in Marquette had been pretty thoroughly accounted for the searchers directed their attention to the surrounding country. Soon half a dozen wagonloads of dead and in- jured had been brought to town from the district adjoining. GIRL KILLS BROTHER. She Pointed Gun at Him in Play and Pulled the Trigger. Cedar Kapids, Ta., May 10.—A fright- ful accident occurred at the farm home of Peter Schleuter, a well-to-do farmer living near Fairfax. Harvey, his twelve-year-old son, had taken a rifie from the house and was playing with it. His little sister came along and, taking the gun, pointed it at her brother and pulled the trigger, jnot knowing it was loaded. The bullet tore throngh his head, causing almost instant death. None of the family knew the gun was loaded. NO PANIC AT THEATER. Sioux Falls Audience Is Calm and Oz- derly at Fire. Sioux TFalls, S. D., May 10.—The Booth theater, one of the leading play- houses of the city, was seriously dam- aged by a fire which was started by the explosion of a moving picture ma- chine. . The performance had commenced and the building was well filled, bug the audience kept cool and marched out without exhibiting the slightest sign of panic. Bars Sherlock Holmes. St. Paul, May 10.—A. Conan Doyle’s new book, “The Return of Sherlock Holmes,” is under the ban of the Min- nesota state library commission. The commission has refused to put Mr. Royle's latest production on the list of 000Ks to be placed in the libraries of the public schools of the state. Rebels Captured Much Spoils. Hodlida, Turkish Arabia, May 10.— ‘The spoils captured by the rebels at jSanaa included thirty guns, 20,000 .rifles and much ammunition. The gar- Tison and the Turkish ofiiclals were Bermitted to leave the city. - TEAMSTERS’ STRIKE AT CHICAGO GETTING AWAY FROM CON- TROL OF LEADERS. : TRAFFIC BECOMES NEARLY NORMAL INCREASE IN DELIVERIES BOTH IN THE BUSINESS AND RESI- DENCE SECTIONS. ~Chicago, May 10.—The teamsters® strike situation seems to be getting away from the control of International President Shea of the Teamsters’ brotherhood and his associates on the general strike committee. Sympathetic strikes, threatening to involve varied interests, have been precipitated by the rank and file; more are hanging fire and a feeling of restlessness pers vades the hourly gatherings of strik- ers. Hmployers, with their teaming forces greatly augmented and with an abundance of police and depaty sheriff protection, increased the traffic in the down town streets to almost normal conditions, sent wagons boldly into the outlying districts with department store deliveries and sprang a coup by an offer that tempts many owners of teams to turn over their wagons and horses to the Employers' Teaming company. The offer is: “We will pay $100 a month for each team, the company to furnish a com- petent driver and feed the horses.” FLOUR FAMINE THREATENED. Strike Spreads to Another Large Team- ing Company. Chicago, May 10.—Shortage in de- livery of flour to grocery stores and bakers is threatened by a fresh spread of the teamsters’ strike. The latest re- cruits are the drivers of the Wenig Teaming company, a large concern chicfly engaged in delivering flour for milling companies. All of the men quit work when one of them was dis- charged for refusing to deliver to boy- cotted department stores. A direct re- sult of the strike will be a shortage of 15,000 barrels of flour a week, accord- ing to George K. Wenig. " “Unless-we can get the Employers’ association to help us out the strike means an immediate shortage in the flour supply,” said Mr. Wenig. “If the strike continues there will he a flour famine. T expect to apply to the asso- ciation at once.” While the strike is assuming a most threatening attitude the Employers’ Teaming company is becoming increas- ingly aggressive. Eighteen hundred teams were sent out during the day and the company promised to furnish teamsters to do the work of all drivers who quit. The dslivery of retail goods was further extended and the number of deputies and special police was in- creased. Although surrounded by six guards a nonunion teamster was knocked off his wagon and severely injured by strike sympathizers. The victim was Joseph St. John, who was attacked while driving one of the Peabody Coal company’s wagons near Kinzie street bridge. Serious Rioting Occurs. Rioting broke out at Lake and Clark streets during the afternoon when a fruit laden truck belonging to the Em. ployers’ Teaming company and driven by Henry Scott, a colored nonunion teamster, was surrounded by a block- ade of wagons and a mob estimated by the police to have numbered 1,000 per- sons. A riot call brought police to the spot and after a half hour of active work the police dispersed the crowd and the blockading wagons drove away. Stones and missiles were thrown and one shot was fired. The police were unable to learn who fired the shot or whether any person was wounded. ‘Women strike sympathizers started the riot, bombarding the nonunion drivers with oranges and other fruits from an elevated railroad station. Many car windows were smashed by harder missiles which followed the oranges. The riot stopped traffic on street car lines for nearly an hour. Three onslaughts of police were neces- sary to disperse the mob. In the melee bricks, canes and-umbrellas mingled with the fruit hurled from the elevated railroad station by the women. The commission appointed by Mayor Dunne to investigate the strike start- ed work in earnest during the day. Attorney Seymour-Stedman, represent- ing the Chicago Federation of Labor, appeared before the commission and made a plea for public hearings, the commission having previously decided to hold secret sessions. The commis- sion took the matter under advisement. IMPRISONED FOR THREE HOURS. Sentence Passed on Man Who Fenced Government Land. Helena, Mont., May 10.—Because he obeyed the request of Dr. Ramsey of the federal sanitation inspection bu- reau and yet violated the laws Judge Hunt, in the United States court, has sentenced John C. Bain, manager of the Valley County ranch property, to Jail for three hours and fined him $100. The fine was paid, but Bain was only construetively in jail, spending the time in the custody of the mar- shal. Bain was arrested on the charge of fencing in government lands. He admitted the charge, but explained the purpose as securing a place of mange. B
