JUDGE INTERFERES WITH CUPID’S PLANS Refuses to Marry Riverside Man Who Was Recent- ly Divoreed. Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, Colo., June 23.—Judge Noyes of Riverside has interfered with the mat- r'monial plans of Miss Vera Kennedy of Denver and E. C. Palmer, a wealthy orange grower of Riverside, by ordering Paimer, who recently divorced his second wife, not to marry within a year. Miss Kennedy knew that Palmer had been married once and that his wife was ! killed in a railroad accldent, but it is said she did not know that he had been mar- ried a second time and had secured a di- vorce on the ground of desertion. At that time he was prohibited from marrying | within a year. Miss Kennedy met Palmer while visit- ing her grandparents in Riverside, and it seemed to be a case of love at first sight. She returned home, it is sald, to prepare her trousseau for the wedding In August. Then Judge Noyes told Palmer he must respect the provisions of his interlocutory divorce.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1905. PRICE FIVE CENTS. PROFESSIR RAMSEY 15 DEMENTED Complaint Charg- ingInsanityFiled by Police. Sad Stnr_y_;tq)ownfall of Former Tutor at Stanford. Gotham Authorities Say Ti}a,t He Has Been Working in Cheap Restaurants. » Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK. June 23.—When Marathon Montrose Ramsey, professor of languages of the Leland Stanford Jr. University, stepped to the bar in Jefferson Market Court to- to answer a charge of “vagrancy” he presented a sorry spec- tacle. Detective Sergeant Fogarty, who ar- rested Ramsey on Thursday on the floor of the Produce Exchange, quickly changed the complaint to one of insanity. Ramsey was then taken to the Bellevue Hospital to await the arrival of two phy- sicians from Baltimore, who were inter- ested in discovering his whereabouts in New York. Magistrate Baker had familiarized him- self with the sad romance of Ramsey's life during the past three months and he did not keep the prisoner before him longer than he could help. The only reference Ramsey made to his plight was the remark: “This is all a farce, all a farce.” Ramsey was unkempt and unshayen. There were deep lines in his face and his complexion was sallow. His clothes were untidy and worn. He left California three months ago. - After that his friends lost [~ all trace of him. His wife was Agnes Emily Craig, chief translator of the In- ternational American Conference, whom he married in 18%. He had little money when he reached New York. W Ambition seemed to have deserted him, for hegid not apply the talents with which he was equipped. Instead he drifted from one part of the city to another, always lower, until he finally served beer in cheap res- taurants in the Bowery, according to the reports made to the police. He lived In lodging-houses and when work was slack in ‘the restaurants he is said to have carried baggage. S G Rice’s Condition Still Serious. PITTSBURG, June 23.—Professor C. C. Rice, a former associate professor at Stanford University, who has been con- fined in the St. Francis Hospital under guard as a demented victim of the heat, left the city to-night for his home at Lincoln, Nebr., in charge of his father. Professor Rice's condition is still seri-, ous. NORE CHRRCES AGAIST HLL PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—For the sec- ond time this week John W. Hill, former chief of ‘the Bureau of Filtration, was arrested to-day on charges of forgery and falsification of certain books and papers for the purpose of defrauding the city of Philadelphia. i After a hearing lasting nearly six hours he was held in $2000 bail for trial. His arest to-day was a great surprise, com- ing so closely on top of his statement of innocence of, forgery and falsification of records, on which charges he was held in $8000 bonds on Wednesday. The principal witness against Hill was 8. G. Garrett, a former employe of the Filtration Bureau. dence was pro- duced tending to show that estimates of the work done by Danlel J. McNichol, & contractor, were padded and that the city was defrauded out of about $40,000. Counsel for the defense claimed that the evidence produced did not prove Hill gullty of the offenses charged. There were many rumors afloat to-day that as a result of the arrest of Hill other persons of prominence in municipal aftairs will be arrested, but up to late to-night nothing developed. Mayor ‘Weaver to-day decided on a special ses- glon of city councils to take up the mat- ter of city finances and to consider pro- | positions for the removal, of dangerous railroad grade crossings. CAPTAIN KIRKMAN ENTERS PENITENTTARY FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kans.,, June 28.—Captain George W. Kirkman, Twen- ty-fitth Infantry, United States army, was brought to the Federal Penitentfary this morning to serve a three-year sen- tence at hard labor. Kirkman wore a handsome black suit, patent leather shoes and carried -a light overcoat on his arm. He had two telescopes and two large trunks filled with clothing. 3 Kirkman showed an Indifference to everything, and did not even make in- quiries as to his employment. He will be detained in a large room with about 100 new arrivals % :n!cw days. There is not enough wo the prisoners at pres- en(.v:nd Ehnl.n, like the rest, wlfl be held at the old prison in a room with Indians, Mexicans, negroes and whites.

Mrs. Chandler, commi sui- b} % PRESIDENT AWAITS REPLY TO HIS SUGGESTION FOR ARMISTICE. * Japanese Minister Takahira called at the White House last night but was unable to give President Roose- velt any assurances regarding an armistice prior to the holding of the peace conference, — Russia has not yet i | replied to the President’s suggestion. Diplomats think the delay may be due to illness of Count Lamsdorff. 7llness of Count Lamsdorfr Delays Nego tiations. SMALL HEADWAY IS MADE Japan Wants Assurance That Russia Desires Peace. ' COUNT CASSINI VISITS HAY Discusses Sttuation but Can ' Offer No Solution. WASHINGTON, June 23.—Mr. Taka- hira; the Japanese Minister, returned to Washington this afternoon from a visit of several days in New England, and cailed at the White House to-night, where he was received by the President and remained for three-quarters of an hour. The Minister would have nothing to say about this conference or about the situation at this time beyond remarking that “some matters must be settled first.”” The fact that the Minister could glve no assurances regarding an armis- tice prior to the convening of the peace conference tends to confirm the belief in official circles here that little headway has been made by the President in this direction. Up to a late hour this after- noon the Russian reply to the President’s suggestion regarding an armistice had not been recived, and until this reply is re- ceived the result of this phase of the negotiations cannot be known. In view of- the-fgst-that the President has thus far addressed himself simulta- neously to both belligerent powers there is a disposition to believe that Mr. Taka- hira may have brought to the White House to-night an expression of Japan's views upon an armistice in response to the President's well-known hope that a clash would not precede the conference. It has all along been understood that Ja- pan would be unwilling to grant an ar- mistice at this time unless thoroughly as- sured that Russla was seriously desirous of peace. Whether such assurances have been forthcoming is not known. It is learned through official sources that, owing to the illness of Count Lams- dorff, the Russian Foreign Minister, there has been a slight check to the negotia- tions. It is specifically stated, however, that this does not imply that there has been any hitch, but simply that the ne- gotlations have been unavoidably delayed for the reason given. Count Cassini had a long consultation with Secretary Hay at the latter's resi- dence, but the visit was primarily a per- sonal one, and no decision regarding the negotiations was reached. Secretary Hay left this afternoon for his summer home at Lake Sunapee, N. H. AN RS BOTH COUNTRIES AITING. Russia and Japan Appear Unwilling to Show Their Hands. ST. PETERSBURG, June 23.—There is ot likely to be any further move in the direction of an armistice until the pleni- potentiaries are appointed and the place of their meeting definitely fixed. Japan seems unwilling to discuss any new issue until these two questions are settled. This does not necessarily mean that all hope of arranging a suspension of hostilities be- fore the meeting has disappeared, but as an indication of Japan's mood it increases the doubt as to whether she could be in- duced to relinquish temporarily the stra- tegic advantages which she evidently be- lieves she enjoys. Indeed, it might raise the suspicion of sparring for time until Field Marshal Oyama has devéloped his offensive and is actually in progress of delivering his blow, when Japan could easily plead that it was too late. The delay in settling the matter of the pleni- potentiaries is, therefore, all “the more deplored by those desiring to avoid fur- ther bloodshed. Both countries seem per- fectly willing to name negotiators, but each evidently desires the other to show its hand first. On_account of Foreign Minister Lams- dorff’s jllness Embassador Meyer was un- able to have a personal interview with him either yesterday or to-day, but it is believed that ‘Washington are passing in writing. It appears that Count Lamsdorff has had a touch of heart trouble and his physiclan again to-day forbade him to leave his room, but promised to allow the Minis- ter to go to the Chancellory to-morrow. Count Lamsdorff’s illness naturally has created much gossip to the effect that he is about to retire and M. Muravieff, Rus- sian Embassador to Rome, and M. Is- wolski, Minister to Copenhagen, are named as his probable successors, but as yet there is no evidence that the rumors have more foundation than those of sim- jlar character which preceded them. ¥ There Is strong reason for saying that the Russian plenipotentiaries will include a military man of high rank, though as vet there is no clew to his identity, ex- cept that it will not be General Kuropat- kin. The downfall of Admiral Alexieft and the suppression of the Far Eastern committee materially increases the likeli- hood that M. Witte will also represent Russia, since he is an inveterate enemy | of the “war cabal,” who now seem defin- jtely to have fallen under imperial dis- favor. M. Witte had a long audience with the Emperor on Tuesday. A prominent Russian stgtesman, who is convinced that peace will pe the outcome of the Washington meet,{said to-day: “Japan surely cannot longer doubt the- sincerity of the Emperor’s desire to con- clude peace. Admiral Alexieff's retire- ment marks the final rout of the war party. For Japan to refuse an armistice and force another big battle now would communications from. + were make her responsible for the wanton sac- rifice of thousands of lives.” S RUSSIANS ARE REPULSED. Driven From the Heights of Lienhua- chieh by Treops of the Mikado. TOKIO, June 23.—The following offi- cial dispatch has been received to-day from the headquarters of the Japanese armies in Manchuria: “In the vicinty of Yingecheng June 21 a thousand of the enemy's infantry pressing our scouts advanced, and when they reached Hsiangyangcheu, ten miles southeast of Wankautzkeau, our forces repulsed them with heavy loss and pur- sued them to the vicinity of Weiyuan- paomen. “After our force, which occupled Yangmaulintzu June 19, had completed their mission they returned. “The enemy, consisting of three bat- talions and four squadrons, with twelve guns, advanced through the eastern districts of theé Kirin road and moved southward June 21. From 11:30 in the morning its lnta.nt;y gradually appear- ed on the heights/between Chapengan and Lichiatun and his artillery posted on the heights of Lienhuachieh shelled the northern heights of Nantchendzy. Our force after a few hours’ engage- ment assaulted this offensive and com- pletely repulsed the enemy, dAptured the heights and pursued him. “Otherwise the situation 18 un- changed.” C el SO T RUSSIANS TO BE PAROLED.
