We cannot wait until the war in the Felldast is ended."

Toxxo, Jan. 11.-Commander Enaka,

ofthe Japanese naval staff detailed to examine the Russian wurships at Port Arthur, reports on thc condition of the unprotected cruisers Djldijid, Rnzboynair and Zablaka, hitherto unaccounted for. The Djidijid _is at the mouth of s small inlet east of the torpedo storehouse and ' inside the west harbor. Her three masts are above water. Evidently she was sunk after the capture arms Mem-` Hin. 'rm Razboynak is sunk in the channel near the lighthouse at the entrance of the harbor. It is believed the Russians sank her. The Zabiaka is sunk ln t1\e_wcst harbor about_3D0 yards southeast-of thc bend of tho Tiger's Tail peninsula. Her masts and funnols are visible. Evidently she was destroyed by shells fired after the Japanese cap- tured Wolf Hill. The torpedo boat destroyers Boevoi, Sllni and ezuyreétchni are- beaohed and des near " torpedo storehouse pier. The torpedo bout deseroyers Storozhevoi and Rezyaschtchi are ten yards west of .that point. The torpedo gunboats Posadnik and Gaidamak were set on fire and sunk nearby.

Besides the above Japanese are search-

ing for one torpedo boat destroyer which

is still unaccounted for.

HOW TO OLIVE, BY

' _ J. D. ROCKEFELLER

New Yonx, Jan. 12.-The, richest man

gave them hygienic advice. John D. Rockefeller is usually depicted as a miscr able dyspeptic; It seems that he lsn't This is part of what hc said : “Look at mo. I weigh two hundred pounds and am to day in the best of`healtb. Seeing me now, you perhaps don't recognize the lanky, decrepit old form in which the papers picture me.

“Now let me go back to the question

of health. Let me advise you young men to chew your food carefully ami thor- oughly, and above all don’t drink icc water. I never drink anything with my meals, but between meals I drink alot of good pure water and also considerable milk. I take great pains in chewing my food. If I were in a hurry to catch a train and was hungry and wanted to eat a baefsteak I would take the beefsteak with mc and take time in chewing itfon my journey. Follow this yourself, and then avoid'ice water and you will be all right.

“I believe in cold baths. I remember

that some years ago o. good friend of mine down south was horrified to think that I indulged in them and said they could only result in harm. in recent years, however, I have modi- fied my cold baths somewhat by tak- inga towel, immersing it in cold water containing a little salt and throwing it over my back. `I believe snit and cold water used in this way isa great hlng." "I believe in the papers," said Mr.Rocke- fellor. “Give them liberty and freedom of speech. I believe ln liberty. The read- ers of the papers are intelligent, and they soon sift truth from untruth." In the hallMr. and Mrs.R.ookeieller wel-

comed the arriving guests, notable among them being General Cronje. Mr. Rocke- feller talked for a few minutes with Gen- eral Cronje, through his interpreter, Cap- tain Hinton.

“Dear me i"_ said Mr. Rockefeller. as he

shook hands with the general. “So you are General CronJe‘l How alike we are all over the worldl I thought when I first saw you that you were one of us hare. I never dreamed that you were from far off' Soutii Africa. But we are making such progress these days that all countries, no matter how remote, be- coming like neighbors. What (Bayou think of this country, General I" General Gronja replied that he was overwhelmed by its vastness, andwas especially pleased with New York city. "Y ca," said Mr. Rockefeller; “even I am impressed by New York city. I might say that I am l rolldont of this city. Of course Igo in and out all the time, but it aoomlto me that everytime I coma back tolt ltihll grown lll'l\F» Ib will not be long before our cltywlil‘ba‘ul`u-gear

TRAGEDY IN NEW

YORK RECALLED

Nnw Ypmr, Jan. 11.-The final stagef

in the struggle for possession of _nearly threefqnnrters of a million of dollars between John :lt Platt, an aged millionaire, and liannah Elias, n hegresq, who, he charges, wrongfully hbtnlned the money from him, was scheduled to begin before Justice Bischoff' in the Supreme Court today. In this case it was expected thc whole lstory, which has attracted so much llttcntion, would be told. Interest in the casa was intensified from the ilrst, by the strange and tragic death of Andrew H. Green, one of the city's\ most prominent men, who was shot to death almost at thc door of the Elias woman’s home within a few months before the Platt suit was flied. Green's murderer, ll. negro. who was captured and latcr sent to an insane asylum, said he had shot Mr. Green because hc was jealous of the l||.tter'n attentions to Mrs. Elias. \Vith the filing of the Platt suit the contention of Mr. Grccn's friends that he was a victim of luistakcn identity when the fatal attack was made, was practically proven. Thcrc \val4a.remnrkablc similarity in personal appearance between Andrew Il. Green and John R. Platt. and Mr. Platt himself has said that he bclievcd the insane ncgrol intended to kill him, and mistook Mr. Green for him. Mrs. Elias mnintaincs that the vast sum nmncd in ir‘latt.`s suit wasglvcn to her voluntarily by Platt, that he literally thrcw money at ber. Slu- has told of one instance, when she says, after pressing her lo lake n large sum which she refused, he threw n. handful of bank notes on the floor, nnrl she had n servant gutlior'tl\cm up on li dust- pan. _ ` O_n the other hand Platt claims that thc defondunt resorted to every trick and do- vicc her ingenuity could connnand to ox- tort money from him during the till years of their acquaintance.

KEEN \NTEREsT IN

THE PAGE MURDER

most intcrcstingpicccs of testimony ycb ollcrcd by the prosecution in thc trial of Chas. L. Tucker, of Aulnrrndale, who is charged with the murder of Mabel Pago, came today,whcn Amy Roberts, at servant in the Page household, stated that a scarf pin which had been found in the defen- dnnt`.~i overcoat pocket was the property of Miss Page and was in a pin cushion on her bureau omthc day bcforc tho murder.

Miss Roberts also testified that on thc

day Tucker called nt the Page house to see llaruid Pago, t/he brother of the mur- dered woman, he talked with Mabel Page. Harold Page had previously testified that he was 11ot able to tcll whether Mabel and Tucker had talked with encb other on the occasion of 'l`ui-kcr's visit to the Page houic. Miss Roberts testimony today in- dicated that Tucker and Mabel had con- vcrscrl and, the prosecution claims, estab- lished thc contention that Tucker was known by the murdered woman.

Evidence rcgnrding the nmonnt oi'

iuoncy in Miss l’n1{c`:4 purse bcfurc thc. mul-der was also given by Miss Roberts. She knew that thcrc was more than $10. bliss liulmcrtio asserted that she was posi- tive that Miss Page did not transfer any money from the purse silo kcpt in a. table drawer in thc living room lo n purse which was kcpt in a room upstairs an which contained nil lbs money thc furn- ily hurl saved towards erecting a monu- ment ovor the grave of Mnbel`s mother.

The guvcrnnicnfs theory that Miss

Page wa.~» lmirilrrcd in 0. room un the first floor and bor body dragged to her bod- roorn on the second floor, was strength- ened by Miss Roberts' tcstlmony that there were bloodstains on the other panels of the doors leading from the hall to Miss }’agc`s room. Another circumstance In line with thc theory was developed in statement ofthe witness that after the murder sho had noticed that n. rug in the hall ncnr thc door to Miss l’ngc`s room was partially rolled up and moved from its nc(-ustomcd position to a point voir .~<id¢»ral»|y nearer the bedroom floors.

Miss Roberts did wavcr under ero.~'s-ox-

amination, the only variance in her testi- mony being in one or two comparatively unimportant st»atcmc|\t.~l made hyber an the preliminary hearing at \\'ulthanl last April.
