He had been | away from home five days and the mother and sister of the boy thought that he should be put in some ‘institu- | tion where he could be managed. | Pending an investigation by the court, Mrs officer, and others of the court con- | | ceived the idea that a physical defect | was responsible for the lad’s mental | attitude. The mother and sister then | remembered a fall received by the boy when three years old. His head had | struck on a rock in a,stream where he was wading. Dr. Kohlmer's examina- | | | tion showed a concave formation of the 1, where it should have been con- | | vex. Arrangements for an operation | were made, but they were not carried out until July 5, as the' boy had run away in the meantime. The operation by Dr. Kohimer in- | volved the removal of three pieces of the skull, on the under side of which |he found thick growths pressing | against the brain. | The boy was allowed to leave the hospital fourteen days later, as well and strong as ever, but showing a re- ble difference in his manner. The rliness and ungovernable temper | were gone and he was perfectly amen- able to the wishes of his mother. The mind of the boy was cleared and he seems extremely bright. It is be- lieved that he will rapidly advance in school and make up for worthless years. He undersfands what has oc- curred to him and says he is very thankful to the court and to the doc- tor.. He will enter a special school in onnection with the Shortridge High School, maintained for truants and backward students, this week. The boy has not been in school for three vears becanse of his incorrigibility and at | the time he was taken out of school | he had reached only the second grade— | a class of boys eight years old. WILL PROBE THE DEATH OF PATIENT Helen W. Rogers, chief probation | | 'Futile Voyage of PRESIDENT GIVES CRUISER LENA THE ALTERNATIVE OF COMPLETING HER REPAIRS WITHIN TWO MONTHS OR DISMANTLING AND REMAINING AT SAN FRANCISCO Slav War Craft After New Boilers. —in i The mystery of the mission of ‘the Russian. auxiliary cruiser Lenaeto the port’ of San Francisco has been solved. Captain Berlinsky came 4000 miles over the ocean in quest of a new set of boilers, for leaking of tubes told him that the seaworthiness of the vessel was - seriously endangered. He has failed in his purpose, the laws of neu- trality being given stern ipterpretation by the United States Government, and the war craft must now be dismantled and laid up till the conflict in the Far East is ended. The inspections of the vessel directed by both Admiral Goodrich and Col- lector of the Port Stratton have re- vealed that not one of the twenty-four I boijlers of the cruiser is in a serviceable condition. The tubes are spotted with accumulations of salt where the leaks have been handicapping the progress of the ship. Each boiler has 162 tubes and out of the total number there are just enough whole tubes to put eight of the boilers in a sea-going condition. But to take out the tubes that are whole and with them replace the de- fective tubes in order that the ship might proceed with a third of her com- plement of boilers so as to reach the nearest Russian port would require thirty days’ time, according to the esti- mate of Captain John K. Bulger, whose report was forwarded to Washington by (ollector Stratton yesterday, and six weeks according to the report Ad- miral Goodrich made to the Navy De- partment. 2 The boilers at present in the ship and duplicates of which Captain Ber- fifth to meet with an accident in | the fog within the last ten days. | On September 3, the three-masted | schooner James A.

LOUIS, Sept. 13.—Soon after arriving to-day at the Sacramento ex- hibit in the California section of the Palace of Agriculture, Mrs. Rose A.

There are no Belleville boilers here and it would take from four to eight months to have shipment made from England and the new ones installed. Furthermore, Captain Berlinsky ar- rived in San Francisco almrost without coal, notwithstanding his representa- tions to the contrary. There is not near enough coal in the bunkers to make the vovage to the nearest Rus- sian port. All in all, the Russian war- ship was hard driven when she came secking the friendly offices of a neu- tral port, only to have hopes of ald in her sorry plight dashed to the ground. An inspection of the vessel yesterday by Captain John K. Bulger, local in- spectom of hulls and boilers, made at the instance of Collector of the Port F. S. Stratton, resulted in a report to ‘Washington that coincided with the re- port of the examination Admiral Good- rich’s engineer made the day before. The admiral procgeded on his own re- sponsibility and was therefore more prompt in ordering an Investigation than was Collector Stratton, who took no step until advised by the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor. Captain Buiger had a number of tubes removed from the Lena’s boilers and found ‘them very much corroded. He would sanction no vessel’s going to sea with tubes in such bad condition. His inspection was superficial because of lack of time, and while he gave it as his judgment that eight boilers might be put in good condition in thirty days by wosking day and night shifts of re- palrers, he reported that he would pre- fer*to have three days for a thorough inspection before giving a definite opinion as to the statement of Captain Berlinsky that new boilers were needed absolutely ‘to' make the cruiser sea- worthy. Further than the inspection by Cap- tain-Bulger and the forwarding of his report to Washington there were no new developments yesterday so far as the office of the Collector of the Port was concerned.

SECRETARY OF STATE, WASHINGTON, AND FEDERAL OFFICIAL WHO INSPECTED THE LENA. —i 1 JAPAN'S REPRESENTATIVE IN OYSTER: BAY, Sept. 13.—The Rus- sian converted cruiser Lena, now at San Francisco, will be accorded the hospitality permissible under interna- tional law. At the same time the war- ship will not be allowed to make San Francisco a base where she can_be re- fitted in a manner, to increase her fighting effectiveness. This is the at- titude of the American Government, as expressed by the President. It is said that the President consid- ers two months as the proper time lim- it to be placed upon the stay of the Lena at San Francisco. Reports for- warded from Washington indicate that it.is the belief of officials who inspected the vessel that from six to eight weeks will be required to place her in a sea- worthy condition, and in order to do no injustice two full months will be al- lowed for the repairs. Unofficlally ‘it is learned that the. Russian commander has no intention of again putting to sea unless he ecan replace his disabled boilers with new ones. As ‘that cannot be done in less than six or eight months the Lena un- doubtedly will be dismantled and re- main at San Francisco until the end of the war, e problem now before the Ameri- carl Government is what disposition to make of the Lena's crew. On this auestion no - decision . has : yet - been reached. i GOODRICH GIVEN AUTHORITY., Admiral to Handle the San Francisco End of the Problem. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—The devel- opment of the day so far as it relates to the Russian cruiser Lena, at San Fran- cisco, was the clearing up of the offi- cial muddle arising out of the doubt as to which of five departments of the Government should deal with it. It was finally decided by the President that the State and ‘Navy départments should treat the case, acting jointly—a decision calculated greatly to simplify its handling. " Overnight came a telegram from Ad- miral Goodrich:at San Francisco show- ing that on his own initiative he had cauged one”of his’ expert - officers to make a preliminary examination of the Lena and that temporary repairs would require six weeks’ time, while new boil- ers would involve eight months’ delay. The President approved the admiral's action and decided that he should con- ter having now passed into the hands of the offictals at Washington. The Paul Jonés continued to keep her vigilant eye ‘on the Lena yesterday and on every one who tried to .,py%uh her. The I from the Marblehead moved ,rguxh,on,t the day in close proxii . Late in Jocelyn and Captain F. L. Winn made a formal call on the Lena’s command- It Is Understood Russian Vessel Will Disarm and Disposition of Her Crew Is Now the Problem. tinue to handle the case in San Fran- cisco, under instructions from the State and. Navy departments. This involved a further expert exam- ination of the shin. The Russian Gov- ernment did not object—a't least the Russian _Consul at San Francisco gave that understanding—and within a day or two, with the assistance of expert mechanics from the Union Iron Works, Admiral odrich will be able to report more closely on the repairs. The admiral adopted the precaution of guarding the Lena with his own ves- sels, a“course also approved by the de- partment. Agreeable to the President’s instrug- tions, acting Secretary. Adee, for the Departnient of Stdfe, and Captain Pillsbury, for the Navy Department, had two conferences during the day, and ‘the result was the preparation of instructions to Admiral Goodrich, which it is understood were wired to the Pres- ident -first for his approval. There is good ground to believe that these in- structions ‘contemplate the allowance ofsufficlent time to the Lena to make temporary repairs. However, there is a growing belief here that the vessel will be obliged to intérn in the end, for it is altogether likely that by the time she could be made ready to go to sea one or more Japanese cruisers would be off the Golden Gate ready to sink or cap- ture her. Foreseeing such an event as a request for the right to intern, the officials “hdve been considering what shall beé done with the crew—whether it be allowed to return to Russia on pa- role, or whether it must be interned on the ship in San Francisco harbor. On this point no decision has been reached. ‘Minister Takahira called at the State Department and had a short talk with Adee, the acting Secretary. The Min- ister, ‘having received last night the re- port of the vessel's arrival from the Japanese Consul General at’ San Fran- cisco, said he called simply to acquaint the State Department officially with the fact of the Lena's appearance in the harbor of San Francisco, but he did not lodge any protest against her presence nor make any demand as to her with- drawal. He assured Adee that he was entirely willing to allow the United States Government to.deal with this case without suggestion from him. - o BT ¢ R T - URPRISE m,l;uflsu. ’ | Admiralty - Cannot - Account for the ST.
