ACQUITTAL VOTED i FOR ROJESTVENSK Court Martial Deolares Admiral Was Not Responsible for Surrender to Japs. CAVALRY AT TAMBOV IN VIOLENT MUTINY Men Refuse to Obey Commands and Run Officer Thru with Bayonet. St. Petersburg, July 10.The refusal of the constitutional democrats to par ticipate having rendered it impossible to form a coalition ministry, the em peror and court, in faoe of the rising spirit of revolution in the country and the constantly extending evidence of dissatisfaction in the army, seem at last ready to turn to the constitutional democrats as the only means of paci fying the country. Negotiations looking to the complet ing of a ministry of constitutional dem ocrats have been formally opened thru the intermediary of former Minister of Agriculture Yermoloff, leader of the new center party. The first proposi tions of the government have failed, however, completely, owing to the fact that the constitutional democrats would not accept the three conditions imposed, namely, the abandonment of the prin ciple of the forced expropriation of laJJ2t,full amnesty for political prison ers and a summer recess of parlia ment. Rioting Grows Worse. Street demonstrations and rioting are becoming more frequent in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which is regarded as being a bad sign. At Moscow 7,000 employees of the Prokharoff mill, who were at the forefront during the riot ing there in December last, have gone on strike, presenting a series of im possible demands, including pay for the time lost during the uprising, proving clearly that their demands are a mere pretext to stop work. Rojestvensky Freed. Oronstadt, Bussia, July 10.Admiral Bo^estvensky, whose trial,, on the charge of surrendering to the enemy after the battle of the Sea of Japan, begun before a eourtmartial here July 4, was acquitted today after the court had deliberated for nearly ten hours. Four officers of the torpedoboat de stroyer Bedovi, who were placed on trial with the admiral, were found guilty of having, with premeditation, surrendered the Bedovi, and all four were condemned-"tar death by shooting. On account of extenuating circum etanees, however, the emperor J*M .2'i requested 'to comnrote "the BeOTeweS of the four officers to dismissal from the service with the loss of certain Tights whicS they would otherwise enjoy. The full report of the eourtmartial shows that Admiral Bojestyensky was acquitted on the ground that he was not in his full senses, and, therefore, was not accountable for what took place at the time of the surrender. Some of the officers who were tried with Boiestvensky were acquitted, their guilt not being proved. The recommendations for mercy in the cases of Captain' de Colongue, chief of Boiestvensky's staff Captain Bara noff, of the Bedovi, and Fillipovsky and Leontieff. who were found guilty and sentenced to be shot, were in accord ance with the'regulations and based on the physical and mental demoralization produced by the long voyage and shock of the disaster in battle. They were also credited with a desire to save the life of Bojestvensky. Mutineers Bayonet Officer. St. Petersburg, July 10.Some addi tional details of the mutiny of the Sev enth cavalry at Tambov show that both the infantry and the Cossacks, sent to subdue the mutineers, refused tofireon them.

Interior Minister Stolypin is endeavoring to discover the source from which the money for such publications was obtained. OAVAIiRY MUTINIES erious Outbreak at TamborWorst Since SebastopoL St. Petersburg, July 10.The news of the mutiny at Tambov, which is appar ently the most serious of such affairs since the Sebastopol mutiny, is confined to the bare details of a censor agency dispatch, showing that the mutineers, when -attacked by loyal troops, offered armed resistance before retreating to their barracks, where they are now Dar ricaded. The dispatch from Tambov says: A mutiny broke out July 7 in the Ka farva regiment of cavalry. During the consequent disorder an infantry officer and a soldier of the Nejinel dragoons, who attacked the mutineers, were killed. The mutineers have barri caded themselves in the barracks. The outbreak is a .quick commentary on General Trepoff 's declaration, in the interview with him published July 7, in which he affirmed that the cavalry could be more depended upon than the infantry, because their officers were in closer touch with their men. Cossacks Would Not Fire. A company of Cossacks which has been garrisoning Uzvoka has been sent away on account of the soldier's refusal to fire on manifestants. The Cossacks of the second reserve, who were ordered to mobilize for police serviee, at Ust Medvieditsa, territory of. the Don, have refused to join the Colors.

New York, Julv 10.Upon arrival here today the Clyde line steamer Ca rib from Georgetown, S. CL and Wil mington, N. C., reported having sighted the UUruguayan bark Margarita on fire at sea yesterday off the Delaware capes. The Margarita left Philadelphia July 8, bound to Halifax, N. 8., in command of Captain Alsena. There was no sign of life on board when the Carib sighted her. The vessel was blazing fiercely aft, her mizzenmast had fallen alongside, and a charred spar was hanging over the quarter. All sails were set on the fore and mainmasts except the royals. All her head sails were also set, and she was hove to with her head to the wind, which kept the fire aft. Prom the mainmast. forward everything was untouched by fire. The Carib ran close by her and Cap tain Maguire watched for signs of the crew, but apparently they had been taken off by some passing vessel. The Margarita is a wooden vessel of 550 tons net. She was built in 1871 and is owned in Montevideo. The Margarita carried a crew of ten men and was loaded with coal. 8-YEAR-OLDS SLEUTHS IN GIGARET CRUSADE Journal Bpeolal Service.

Ste vens of St.^Paul today. "We can secure the enlafgement of the post, but it will take some well directed effort by our commercial bodies, and for once they will have' to work together. Fort Snelling has been left out of the plan as announced by the war der partment, but that action is not final. The list of locations for brigade posts is only tentative and subject to. change by congress. This list includes one post in Wyoming, one in Nebraska,, two in Kansas and one in Oklahoma-rfive concentrated in that one. belt." The others are to be located in Texas, Geor gia, California and Pennsylvania. There is no brigade post provided for the whole northern frontier. Congress will never stand for that kind of distribu tion in the world. A change will be made, and if the twin cities make a good fight there is no reason why Port Snelling should not be included in the list. The Work to Be Done. 'The first thing to be done is to find how much land the dapartment wants for a brigade post, and arrange, so that it can be secured at not too great ex pense. We have shown them where the land can be obtained, and it isWealthy not high-priced land. There is really plenty of room on the reservation for a brigade. There is space to drill and review 5,000 men and ample, room for the new buildings that would,be neces sary. As for. transportation, there is no post in the country where so many cars can be secured and shipment made so promptly as at- Snelling. Now that this bridge matter is settled, we can go to work on the brigade post. The war department will not do anything more till congress meets again, but meanwhile our commercial bodies will need to do some work. The war depart ment is not hostilet and if the proposi tion is shown to be feasible we will have no trouble there.' The artillery range at Camp Douglas will serve Port Snelling nicely, and they don't even have an artillery range at Port Leav enworth. London, July 10.The Britishers, who have been so virtuous recently over the Chicago meat packers' revelations, were today confronted with the annual report of the inspector of factories and workshops, which shows that the conditions here are quite as revolting as anything alleged of the western packing center. Dirty factories and disgusting methods seem to be the rule instead of the exception. Jam. factories, bakeries and sausage plants are all censored as being equally filthy. Here is the report on a typical jam factory: HOUSES IN BOILING-ROOM. "The boiling-room lay between the yard and the stable, and horses reached the stable thru the boiling room. The sanitary accommodation was hardly sepa rated from the rooms where fresh fruit and uncovered jam.%ere kept, and the floors were dirty and fnn* drained. vr ^PRESH WATER PAGESFIVE O'CLOCK.

Journal Special Service, -:v, Denver,' July 10.William James Patterson, one year ago a respected* and prosperous physician, a university grad uate-and graduate in medicine from Washington and Bush Medical schools, and an expert in criminology, lies a physical and mental wreck. in the city jail, the victim of his too long study into the ways and the works of criminals. Only one qualification of this statement concern-^ ing himself does the once7 speoted man make. This is that he would not have fallen had he not had the'natural criminal instinct, which was undeveloped until his delving into criminology brought it to the surface. I 'm a natural criminal. I could not be otherwise if I chose, "he said, when arrested for issuing a fraudulent check for $20. He scouts the idea of environment creating criminals. "I'm a living example of a man with criminal instincts highly developed," he said. I could not be straight if I wanted to. I would defraud people at a time when I did not need money and had no possible reason for taking it. other than to fill this natural craving.'' Patterson was arrested in April last for forgery committed in Kansas. At that time he was living with his wife, apparently refined, and two children. parents of Salina. Kan., reo cued him from prison, but the quick repetition of the crime demonstrates the truth of his statement that he can not live straight.

Journal Special Service. highly re* Chicago, July 10.Moved by the pitiful story of a little girl who had been assaulted by a hoodlum, Alderman Herphy last night introduced a resolu tion recommending that the state legis lature enact a law fixing death as pun ishment- for assaults on women and Children. The resolution was unani mously passed. Prominent club women indorsed the stand taken by the aldearman and de clared that they would support such a law-, Prominent criminal lawyers declare that such a law would be constitutional and like measures may be found on the statute books of many of the southern states. "Every newspaper I have read for some time has told of the attacks of some fiend on helpless, women or chil- dren," said Alderman Herphy. A short time ago I was a member of the grand Ljury when one of these cases came up! A man, or rather a brute, had attempted to assault a little girl not more than 10 years old. The little one was brought into the jury room to forgethehertestimony,terror ive and I shall never look or and her sobs as she saw the man who had attacked ker sitting-there before her. I resolved then that I would do all In my power to prevent this awful crime'. During the past year crimes of this nature have increased, and now it is not safe for a woman- or girl to walk the streets after dark." Corporation Counsel Lewis declared that such a law would be constitutional if passed, and Is in favor of bringing the matter before the next legislature.

Inspectors of bakeries found that It was a frequent custom to bathe children In them after the close of work on Saturdays, and the family's weekly collection of dirty, clothing was sorted in the bakeries for dis patch to the laundry.

Failure to reduce the duty on flour almost caused a breach of the relations between the two countries many years ago, and because of the exportation of large quantities of flour to Brazil, the change in duty favorable to this coun try is of great importance.

Led erer of Philadelphia, who was manager of "The Wild Rose" company when Mrs. Harry K. Thaw was a member, of the chorus, was examined by Assist*: and District Attorney GaGrvan today. Lederer is said to have told Mr. Gar van that he had long believed Thaw to be insane. This opinion, he said_was based upon his observations of Thaw during the time "The Wild Rose" com pany was playing in this city. In this connection he mentioned several inci dents in which Thaw was the central figure. Thought Him Dope Rood.

The presence of Mrs. William Hol man, mother of Mrs. Thaw, is said tor be much desired at the district attor- $ ney's office. According to the report the, attorneys who are at work on the^ prosecution's case would like to ques-"S tion Mrs. Holman, particularly with re gard to one of the trips to Europe made., by Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit. According to one story, while Thaw,* I-T| and the girl were in London, an ap-*^w peal was made to the American em- em- bassy to break up the relations between Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit and have the .M girl sent home. i yit Appeal Came tram VTbtio. This appeal, it is said, was made by Stanford White, who acted on the re..^j quest of Mrs. Holman. It was about* this time, the story goes, that Mrs, Holman was much prejudiced against^ Thaw. It was said today that if Mrs. Hol man should come within the territory covered by a subpena from the district attorney, she would be at once sum moned to his office. Her Testimony Only Hearsay.

She never heard such She said she told Mr. Garvan of many reports concerning Thaw, Mrs. Thaw and White, which had reached her ears, but that of their truth or falsity she had no knowledge. Terms Affidavit Porgery. The theory of the prosecution is that Thaw had had no motive for the shoot ing except hatred and jealousy datin* from the time Evelyn Nesbit consulted lawyers and made a sworn statement re flecting upon the man she soon after* ward married. Altho the defense has adopted a pol icy of silence, Terence J. McManus, one of Thaw's lawyers said today that if any document purporting to be an affi davit made by Mrs. Thaw was intro duced it would be proved a forgery. To Swear to Threats. Mrs. Beatrice Schwarta is the woman who, Assistant District Attorney Gar van expects, will swear that Harry Thaw long had it in his heart to kill Stanford white. Mr. Garvan thinks that Mrs. Schwarts will appear as a vol untary witness. A close fnend of Mrs. Schwartz has alreadyVepeated to Mr. Garvan this narrative by her: "Soon after Thaw'B marriage toBje lyn Nesbit, he and his wife visited Mrs. Schwarta at her apartment in this city. She had known both Evelyn Nes bit and Harry Thaw for a long time, and had met them together abroad. With the Thaws on their visit to Mrs. Schwartz was William Sturgis, Thaw most intimate friend, and, it is sata, the only man of whom he was not sus picious where Mrs. Thaw was con**r{~ cerned. "I'm Going to Kill." While the Thaws and Sturgis and Mrs. Schwartz were talking somebody mentioned Stanford White's name. Harry Thaw immediately flew in a fu rious passion and, while he called White the worst names, whipped a revolver from his hip pocket and brandishing It, shouted: This is for White. I am going kill the with it." Mrs. Schwartz says, too, according to her friend who quoted her to Mr. Gar van, that after Thaw uttered this threat she happened to meet Mr. White in the street. Mrs. Schwartz knew White and told him that Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit had been married in Pittsburg. She asked Mr. White whether he had heard Poor, wayward kid.
