WOMA DIE FOR LOVE Shots at Herself on the/ Streets of the Fair City, BULLETS DO NO HARM| Wife of Fourteen Months Seeks Death Because She| Lost Husband’s Affections | Specisl Dispatch to The Call. £T. LOUIS, June 10.—In the presence of hundreds of persons on their way home from the falr, Mrs. Martha Quinn, aged 28, of San Mateo, Cal., mad> a futile attempt to kill herself. Standing with a revolver in the middle of the street, she fired one shot at her- self, fired another as she ran down the center of the street and a third as she stumbled and fell. None of the shots wounded her. “Because I love him,” is the reason she gave, referring to her husband, who, she says, no longer cares for her. She is at the City Hospital. Fourteen months ago she was mar- ried in St. Louis. Her husband took her to New York. Seven weeks ago he returned to St. Louis. She followed two weeks later. A week ago, she says, he left her at 7 o'clock as he went to is place of employment. When he saw her she says he put on his coat and hat and left. She stayed and cried & while and then decided to kill herself. | Purchasing & revolver, she took an Olive-street car and rode to the end of the line. She says she wandered about near the fair for several hours | prior to firing the shots, | She cries almost continually, begging to have her husband sent to Rer. | L —" BOLDPLOTOF CONVIGTS FRUSTRATED e ML Continued From Page 2, Column 1. excited, and as time wore on became particularly agitated. This was enough. The suspects were thrown into the straitjacket, with the hope that some clew might be obtain- ed. No convict is allowed to have a candle in his possession, and this rule is most vigorously enforced. How this was obtained is still a matter of conjecture with the officials. Subse- | quent interrogation of many inmates leads the officials to believe that a con- named Jessup did that part of the ork. Who was the real leader of the plot has not been ascertained. OTHER ATTEMPTS. The other two attempts to burn the mill were on May 26 and May 29. These \pts atte were mate on made by placing the cement floor in the pathway of the guards. The fiber dust vered them. On each occasion the ze was started, but owing to the watchfulness of the guards it was ex- tinguished before damage was done. | Captain Harrison of the inside yard, when interviewed, claimed to know nothing of the affair. Captain Swan, the turnkey, asserted he had not heard of it; but he said that a little fire might occur and that he might not kpnow about it. As to the plot of a Jauil delivery, he scoffed at it, assert- ing that as long as there were prisons prisoners would hatch plots to escape. It's our duty to frustrate these at- tempts,” said Captain Swan. “That's what we do.” BLOODHOUNDS AFTER BANDITS Dogs Given Trail of Two Men Suspected of Robbing Express Car in Colorado | NEWCASTLE, Colo., June 10. — The two survivors of the band of train robbers who dynamited an express car on the Denver and Rio Grande Rail- | road near Parachute Tuesday night escaped during the night from a ridge in Garfield Creek Canyon, where they had been surrounded by pursuers. They cannot have gone far, and it is believed they will soon be located.

Port Arthur Squadron Prepares Against Fall of the Fortress. ST. PETERSBURG, June 10, 4:14 p. m,—There is reason to believe that the plans for the departure of the Port Ar- thur squadron in the event that the fall of the fortress becomes imminent | have beer. completed. They involve the co-operation of the Viadivostok squad- ron. After the blockading fleet has been engaged the uninjured Russian ships will effect a junction with the Viadivo- stok squadron and make their way to Viadivostok.

SEOUL, Korea, June 9, 6 p. m. (de-| layed in transmission).—Telegraphic communieation with Hamheung, on the east coast of Korea, has been re-estab- | lished. | The Korean Ministry of War has recommended the distribution of 2500 Korean soldiers in garrisons of from fifty to 300 along the Tumen River, the great south road and in several im- portant towns in the interior of Ham- | heung province in order to prevent fu- ture Russian raids. This recommenda- | tion has not yet been sarctioned, and | the policy is considered to be question- | able. It is said to be probable that the | majority of such a force would desert | with their rifles and become bandits, | and would engage in robbing the coun- | try people rather than in opposing the | Russian raiders, thus embarrassing the | officials.

Fortifications of Riga and Reval Are Strengthened and Water Batteries Guard Entrance to ST. PEPTERSBURG, June 10.—Remote as now appears the chance that the Japanese fleet will ever be in'a position to venture up the Baltic and make .a demonstrations against the Russian capital, or that any European power will be drawn into the war, Russia evidently is taking nothing for granted. The possibility of the fall of Port Arthur or a disaster to the Baltic fleet after the latter sails for the Far East have been considered and no precau- tion will be omitted to protect St. Petersburg against attack. The forti- fications of Riga (in the southern part of the Gulf of Rigd) and Reval (at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland) have been strengthened, some new guns of the latest patterns have been mounted in the fortress of Cronstadt and a chain of water batteries, running out on either side of the shores of the Gulf of Finland, will guard the entrance to the mouth of the Neva. This system of fortifications was sufficient to dis- - Mouth of the 3 : e 3 courage the attack planned by- the British fleet during the Crimean War. In addition, however, 'shore batteries have been constructed mear Cranle ‘baum (in“the Gulf of Cronstadt, nine- teen miles from St. Petersburg) and Sestroryetsk (on the Sestra River and probably as a precaution against land- ings, as it is believed the'forts are able to stop the advance of a hostile fleet.

The fire slackened about 5 o'ciock in the afternoon. 5 “Among our losses were Cheremis- sineff, chief of Cossacks; Coronet Ko- | marovski and Lieutenant Colonel Pos- sokhoff. “From all appearances the Cossacks were engaged with troops of the Tenth division. In the affair on June 7 at Vafangow we lost one rifieman wound- ed, but the Japanese sustained con- siderable losses. According to the tes- timony of- residents, they lost forty killed or wounded. “Details of the affair at follow: “June 7 at 6 a. m. an outpost com- pany on the Aiyang road was attacked by the enemy. A detachment of chas- seurs was sent as a reinforcement. “More Japanese then appeared, one battalion with a mountain battery be- ing stationed before Saimatzsa. The sseurs at first pressed the Japan- ese, inflicting losses and taking rifles and equipment from the killed, but the advance was checked by ‘a severe fire. Reinforcements now joined the enemy, bringing up their strength to a brigade of infantry, two batterles of artillery and three squadrons of cavalry.

NEW YORK, June 10.—Under a de- | cree of absolute divorce signed by Jus- tice Gildersleeve of the Supreme Court, Rosamond Maria Sullivan resumes her maiden name and becomes again “Rose Coghlan” in private life as on the stage. Justice Gildersleeve makes final the interlocutory decree of February 6, confirming the report and findings of a referee that Mrs. Sullivan is entitled to be freed from John Taylor Sulllvan, to whom she was married June 7, 1893, in Jersey City. The Sullivans lived in this city sev- eral years and seemed as bappy as turtle doves. They separated two years ago, the actress going to Helena, Mont., and establishing a residence there. She began her suit for divorce there a year ago. But when advised that a Mon- tana divorce procured in this way would not be recognized in New York, she withdrew her suit and on Novem- ber 17 instituted an action here.

WASHINGTON, June 10.—Joseph H. Choate may be called home from the court of St. James to became At- torney General. The selection of At- torney General Knox to succeed the late Matthew Quay in the Senate makes it necessary for the President to look about for a successor to Knox in the Cabinet. The President feels that the office has become so important under the administration of Knox that he must have a lawyer of undoubted ability and reputation as his successor. Choate has a great reputation as a lawyer. He has been Embassador to the court of St. James since 1898 and may be willing to surrender that po- sition to accept one in the Cabinet. This question was discussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day, but nothing was decided. HARRISBURG, Pa., June 10.—Gov- ernor Pennypacker to-day appointed P. C.

Japanese Movements at Siuyen Fur- nished Food for Speculation. ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.—News of the fighting at Siuyen furnishes food for much speculation concerning the real Japanese objective. Whether the advance to Siuyen constitutes a for- ward movement in force, - military authorities do not pretend to know. Its character depends largely on whether General Kurcki has the number of troops which reports credit him. It is thought that the Japanese may at- tempt to push across the peninsula and establish a new base at Newchwang. The direct road to Newchwang passes south of Haicheng. Such a movement on the part of General Ku- roki might precipitate a seftous en- gagement in the neighborhood of Hai- cheng if General Kuropatkin thought the time ripe to contest the advance seriously. But it is also pointed. out that the Japanese movements to Sai- matsze and Siuyen ay be either feints or merely a continuation of an effort to distract the Russian attention from Port Arthur. . | POV S, WILL LEAVE PORT ARTHUR. | Foreign Residents Ask Permission to PDepart on Norwegian Steamer.

It is thought that the Russian authori- ties will grant the request. The fact that the application has been made would indicate that the entrance to the harbor of Port Arthur is at least par- tially clear, as the Sentis is a large ship. She has been at Port Arthur ever since the commencement of hostilities. The letters from the foreign business men make no reference to fighting or other conditions at Port Arthur beyond the statement that the price of rice has risen from 5 to 30 roubles per hundred.
