TRAGEDY BLOCKS PLOT INQUIRY BY JAPANESE POLICE | BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Cable to The Star aud Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. TOKIO, January 4.—The dramatic | death of Eric Terkeverkoff and his bride of a few months is the cause of considerable speculation in Ja- | pan. The mysterious couple came | from San Francisco in June, and engaged an expensive suite at the Grand Hotel, in Yokohama. They eseldom seen outside theirrooms | except after dark. Their lavish ex- penditures after making a trip to | Viadivostok caused the secret po- | lice to make an investigation, it having been reported that they i were bolshevist agents with a $10.- 000,000 propaganda fund. Terkeverkoff himself said that he was born in Armenia, and that while living in London he became a naturalized British subject. Later he was a tobacco merchant in Mos- cow, and was now in Japan on a honeymoon trip, and also to collect a debt of 500,000 yen ($250,000). He bought an automobile, and con- tinued his nocturnal excursions. Despite the warnings of C. Y. Wil- marth, the manager of the hotel, of the dangers on the mountain roads, he started for Atami late last Fri- day, accompanied by his wife. In the darkness the chauffeur refused to continue. Terkeverkoff dis- charged him,shired & peasant guide and drove the car himself. The car was overturned and was found at the bottom of & cliff. Both the man and woman died without regaining consciousness. The coolie guide is alive at Ome- eto. U. S. OFFICER WHO DEFIED GERMAN ORDER IS HOME Former Commander of Destroyer Refused to Take Vessel From Kiel and Was Relieved. United States naval destroyer Brooks, who was relieved of his command in Kiel harbor, Germany, following his re- fuzal to comply with orders of German officers to leave the harbor, arrived here on the Army officer, commanding “He told me that the Brooks could not rerhain in the harbor, as the United States was still at war with Germany,* Commander Ellyson said. “I repeated my orders, and declined to go. Then he said he would give me thirty min- utes to clear out of the harbor or I would be cannonaded. I did not_tell him to ‘Go to h—— as it_has been reported 1 said, or that I had as much ammunition as he had. I continued, however, to refuse to go.” The Germans did not carry out their threat_he added. Later he reported the incidet to Rear Admiral Hughes and his transfer was requested shortly aft- erward. 8,000 REACH PALESTINE. All Jewish Immigrants - Heve Found Employment.
