Reorganization of Equitable Norway Secedes From Union "Wireless" on Fast Trains Burbank'i Fast Grow Ing Walnut Patrick Conviction Sus tained Bennett's Literary Prizes, An identical note the text of which by authority of the president was made public at the White House by Secre tary Loeb, has been forwarded to the governments ot Russiu and Japan by Presldeut Roosevelt. In the interest of humanity the president urges the warring nations to conclude peace. It Is suggested by the president that the negotiations for peace be conduct ed "directly and exclusively" between the belligerent nations. The note In dlcates the president's belief that an intermediary may not be necessary to effect conclusive negotiations, but likewise expresses the president's willingness to do all that be properly may do to promote the preliminary arrangements for a time and place ot the meeting of the representatives of the Russian and Japanese govern ments. The identical note was forwarded to tho Russian and Japanese govern ments Thursday afternoon. It Is ren dered especially significant by the fact that it was prepared and sent only after assurances hod been received from Toklo and St. Petersburg that such a proposition would be welcomed. Alleged Detailed Peace Conditions. President Roosevelt's success in opening a way for peace negotia tions between Russia and Japan l the absorbing theme In Paris. France has forgotten her own troubles with Germany over Morocco to Join in enthusiastic approval of the Ameri can Initiative. Portraits of President Roosevelt, Ambassador Meyer, Minister Taka- lilra and Ambassador CausinL appear in all the journals, with the pictures of the White House as the sceue of the historic origin of the peace movement. Without exception comment on President Roosevelt's action Is favor able, with the expression of a slight sense of disappointment that France as the ally of Russia has not taken a more prominent part In effecting the preliminaries. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to The Eclair gives tho alleged detailed conditions of both Eldest the Japanese conditions numbering 11 and the Rus- slans 10. These are practically the same us former speculative conditions, namely, an Indemnity of $G50,000,000; a Japanese protectorate over Man churia and Ccrea, tho cession of Port Arthur and parf of the Trans-Man churian railroad to Japan, forfeiture of tho Interned worships, the with' drawal of Russian warships from the Far East for a period of 25 years and the occupation of Vladivostok until these conditions are fulfilled. The Russinn conditions according to the dispatch reject the question of jin Indemnity nnd give a qualified accept ance of the other terms. Japs Inclined to Be Suspicious. The people of Toklo have calmly re ceived the news of American interven tion nnd prospective peace. The ab sence ot assurance that Russia will ac cept President Roosevelt's proposal and the knowledge that the finnl con summation of peace Involves the ad justment of a series of questions of paramount lmiiortnnce, requiring the most careful diplomacy extending over weeks of negotiations, coupled perhaps with the recollection of a previous ex perience in the thorny path ot the world's politics, seem to create a dis position to await final results. There Is nevertheless the keenest satisfac tion over the preliminary step nnd a feeling of deep gratefulness over President Roosevelt's action. Reorganization of Equitable. Paul Morton, who retires as secre tary of the navy July 1, has been elect ed chairman of directors ot Equitable Life Assurance society. Ills election marks the first and most important step in the reorganization of the so ciety and was followed by the tender of the resignations of President James W. Alexander, Vice President James H. Hyde, Second Vice President Gage E. Tarbell, Third Vice President G. T. Wilson and Fourth Vice President W. H. Mclntyre. Mr. Hyde has sold enough of his ttock to a syndicate headed by Thomas F. Ryan to divest himself of the ma Jorlly control, but retains a substan tial Interest in the society. The men requested to hold the ma jority ot stock by Mr. Ryan are former President Grover Cleveland, George Westinghouse of Pittsburg and Morgan J. O'Urlen, recently elevated to the chief justiceship of the appellate di vision of the supreme court of the New York district. "Wireless" on Fast Train. Wireless telegrams were sent one day last week to and from the Alton Limited train when It was run ning at the rate of a mile a minute from Chicago to St. Louis. So satisfac tory was tho test that President Felton has decided that all passenger trains on the Chicago and Alton shall be equipped to send and receive wireless messages. Wireless messages will be ex changed between the Alton limited trains, northbound and southbound, while both an; running at full speed, while one la running and tho othei Kluiidliiu' still, and when both trains are stopped. Wireless messages will be sent to both trains from Chicago, Springfield and St. Louis, and from the trains to the three cities. The main objoct of tho Alton road In equipping Its pusengcr trains with wireless Is still further to decrease the risk of accident Norway Secedes From Union. "Norway from today Is a fully inde pendent and sovereign state." This is the text of the editorials la the Norwegian newspapers ?nd It re fleets the spirit with which the people of Norway accept the action of the storthing when it proclaimed King Os car no longer King of Norway. The btorthlng will If necessary de fend the Btep taken by force of arms. It is understood that an exlraor dtnnry session of tho Swedish riksdag will be called June 20, If not earlier, as the result of the action of the storthing. Says Separation Was Inevitable. Dr. Fridtjof Nunsen, the Arctic ex plorer, in a telegram to a London pa per, says what happened In Norway could be no longer avoided. "The crown," he says, "was com pelled to veto the consular bill Or else It would have lost Sweden. We un derstand this without bitterness, as there is now no way back. Our. hope Is that the Swedish people will also understand that this was the best so lution of the difficulty, for the contin uation of the quarrel between the two countries would be a perpetual dangei and weakness." Burbank's Fast Growing Walnut. Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, Cal., has, by crossing different varieties ol walnuts, produced a tree which mnkea the fastest growth of any tree known He regards this achievement as ol Immense Importance commercially, foi It will vastly extend the use of the walnut in the manufacture of furni ture and even permit of Its use as cordwood for stove or grate fires. His success was attained by cross Ing th-3 common English and the native black California walnut and also cross Ing two varieties of native black Cali fornia walnuts. At present walnut wood for manufacturing purposes costs $250 to $500 per 1,000 feet. When the new varieties are grown In sufficient quantities the price will be very greatly reduced. Auto Plunged Into River. Three persons were drowned In Chicago nnd two others narrow ly escaped a like fate when an auto mobile In which the five were riding plunged Into the Chicago river through the open draw of the Rush street bridge. William H. Hoops, Jr., who was In charge of the auto at the time of the accident, was arrested on a charge ol criminal carelessness. When the au tomoblle was taken from the river II was found, it Is said, that the throttle was wide open and the brakes were In working order. Hoops' father se cured the release of his son on $30,00C bonds. Torrent In the Subway. The breaking of a huge 48-inch high pressure water main In Park avenue near 42nd street, New York.

INDEPENDENT NORWAY. Will Soon Send a Special Envoy to the Powers. Mr. Loevland Said That Dissolution ot Union Was Wholly on Constitutional Grounds Difference With Sweden Is of an Economic Character 8ayi Action of Storthing Is Irrevocable. Christianla, June 13. Mr. Loevland former president of the section of the Norwegian council of state at Stock holm, who will be Inducted Into his new office of foreign minister of Nor way in June 15, la an Interview said that a special envoy would within a few weeks be dispatched to the great powers to Beek the recognition of the diplomatic and consular representa tives of Norway. Regarding the probable difficulties to be encountered Mr. Loevland de cllned to express an opinion, but he said that the envoy wpuld convey the best wishes of Norway to the powers and would go to them with the high est hope for the successful result ol his mission. "When our case Is presented to the powers," ' said Mr. Loevland, "It will be seen that it Is not one ot antagon ism to the principle of monarchies noi to a single monarchy. Norway has been a kingdom for many centuries and Is proud of that fact. The dis solution of the union was purely on constitutional grounds. Our constltu tion existed prior to the union with Sweden and when there came a con lllct between the two peoples Norwa) chose to retain her constitution. "Our difference with Sweden Is In the first place of an economic char acter. Our commercial Interests, out tariffs and our entire economic pollcj differ from those of Sweden. While the diplomatic and consular services were based on the Ideas governing the union of the two countries they worked to the profit of Sweden rather than tc that of Norway. "Norway's merchant marine no ranks fourth among the nations and Norway no longer can afford to nego tiate with foreign powers through Stockholm. The union, however, was dissolved only when the conflict be came a question of our sovereignty. "We hope the powers will make no mistake regarding our action. We have never tried to create danger foi Sweden and will never seek to make difficulties for our sister country. We are acting for the benefit of the com mon interests of each other and foi our common safety in the face ol foreign danger. "The action taken by the storthing is irrevocable and the powers should realize the fact that Norway will fighl before this action Is reconsidered. The question of peace rests with Sweden but the early recognition of our inde pendence will be of interest to the powers as well as to ourselves. "Immediately upon the dissolution of the union Norway Informed Sweden of Its willingness to open diplomatic relations, but we are jealous of our In dependence and of our future and will avoid all alliances and will not sub ject ourselves to the Influence ot nnj great power." Mr. Loevland said he thought thai Norwegian interests would not suf fer during the Interim In which the country would not be represented abroad. Fortunately, he said, Nor way's biggest trade was with Great Britain, Germany, the United States and France, where for a short period consuls were not indispensable. Bombs Found In Public School.

Complete Demoralization Followed Sinking of Their Flagship. Vladivostok, June 13. A series ot Interviews with naval officers who sur vived the battle of the Sea ot Japan has developed a most sensational story of the causes of the Russian disaster first of all, and the complete demorali sation which followed the slaking of the flagship Jilaz Souvaroft and the wounding of Admiral Rojestvensky. It Is explained that not a single officer of the fleet knew the comman der-in-chief's plans. The admirals la command of divisions knew no more than the sub-lieutenants and had to rely only on the signals of the flag ship. Admiral Nebogatoff, on whom the fommand devolved, had seen Rojest vensky only once after the Juncture at their squadrons and then only for 15 minutes. All the stories of extensive target practice in Madagascar, It seems, were false. During the entire voyage there was practically no training In gunnery worthy the name and the big gun practice was confined to three shots per vessel. Ugly stories are told of the happen Ings at Madagascar. Some of the crews certainly were untrained In gunnery, and, exhausted by the eight months voyage under trying moral and physical conditions, were no match for the veteran Japanese, whose marks manship was wonderful. They concentrated their fire on one ship until she was placed out of action and then on another, thus successively sinking the Oslabya, Alexander III and Kniaz Souvaroft. Some ships developed deplorable structural defects. The Oslabya sank without having a single hole below the water line. Heavy seas entered the vessel above the water line and the water tight compartments, which were changed several times during the voyage, did not stand the strain they had been calculated to stand and burst, Hooding and heeling the vessel over until Bhe turned turtle. The lack of homogenity among the ships mode It Impossible to maneuver In harmony. The Vlndlmlr Mononacj, Admiral Oushakoff and Admiral Senl avln had to lag behind on this account, becoming easy victims. Finally the ammunition was ex hausted after the first day's fight. Even the very morning of the bat tle, while the buzzing of the wireless Instruments on the Russian ships showed that the Japanese scouts were communicating his dispositions to Admiral Togo, Admiral Rojestvensky continued his ceaseless maneuvering, and when the Japanese actually ap peared the Russians were caught In an Impossible formation and were at tacked on three fronts. Rojestvensky's position was cramped and his transports were badly placed nnd caused confusion, while the Jap anese were raining projectiles even from the machine guns on the Russian ships. The latter were huddled to gether, blanketing each other's fire. Only the lenders of the columns could bring their guns to bear and even on those the untrained gunners fired wildly. To render matters worse the mines and floating torpedoes sown In the paths of the Russian divisions added tot the confusion. The Borodino, Ad miral Nakhlmoff and Navarln fell vic tims of these obstructions. It Is a heartrending narrative that Russia and the world should know. The sailors and officers were not al together to blame. The main fault lies elsewhere. There were many heroes among the Russians. Captain Berkh of the Oslabya committed suicide on her bridge as the ship sank rather than save himself. There were thousands of other heroes whose names the woild will never know. Fined For Obstructing Fire Escapes. New York, June 13. Forty-two wo men, most of them carrying children in their arms when they appeared In police court, were fined $3 each for obstructing the fire escapes In the tenements where they live. Most of the prisoners could not pay their fines and were locked up, with their chil dren, In Ludlow street Jail. Boxes, barrels ond refrigerators were kept on the fire escapes, producing a condi tion similar to that In Allen street several months ago when many per sons lost their lives because the lire escapes were obstructed. Peril to Chinese Trade. Washington, June 13. President Roosevelt held a conference with 30 members of the American Asiatic asso lintlon representing the cotton textile Industry und the Iron and steel trado of the United States.

It was pointed out that the commercial organizations of China were threatening to boycott American made goods, especially cotton nnd steel products, unless arrangements were made whereby Chlneso merch ants, students, literary men nnd trav elers could enter the United States without the serious difficulty which they now encounter.

FIGHT FOR $60,000,000. Mrs. Jones-Wlster Wants Part oi Welghtman's Fortune For Her Daughters. Philadelphia, June 12. With the fil ing ot specific charges against Mri. Anne M. Welghtman Walker, daughtei of the late multi-millionaire chemist. William Welghtman, Mrs. Jones-Wlster, the dead man's daughter-in-law, began her battle for her six daughters' share of the $00,000,000 left absolutely to Mrs. Walker. Insane jealousy and the Influence ol Mrs. Walker are sot forth as the two chief reasons why William Welghtman disinherited his grandchildren. Mr Welghtman Is pictured as weakened mentally, physically and morally at the time he drew up his lust will. It Is further charged that the lato chemist was made to believe that his widowed daughter-in-law's marriage to Jones-Wlster was not from reasons ol affection, but "from baser and highly Improper and Immoral motives." and that this fact and the fact that he had been rejected as a suitor by Mrs. Wls ter, led to his disinheriting her, bIx children. His Jealousy Is called both Insane and unnutural. Mrs. Jones-Wlster claims in her petition that a codicil did exist to the will which left every cent of the $GO,000,000 to Mrs. Walkei and the contestants and lawyers point out that upon the very day Mr. Weight man made the will disinheriting his grandchildren, he had them all at his house for an exhibition of fireworks and that he showed great affection for them. They intimate that Mrs. Walk er suppressed this codicil. Mrs. Walker Is pictured as constant ly Intriguing against tho children ot Mr. Welghtman's son. The petition points out that shortly after Mrs. Walker took charge of Mr. Weight man's household after Mrs. WIster'a marriage, Mr. Welghtman made a codicil to his old will by the terms ot which his bequests to his grandchildren were cut down to trust funds during their life. This, the contestant's lawyer asserts, shows the results of Mrs. Walker's undue Influence which they allege re sulted a little later in the destruc tion of the first will and the writing, under Mrs. Walker's Influence, of the second will. Judge Ashman ordered a citation against Mrs. Walker to show cause why the will already probated should not be set aside and why the ques tions brought up by the contestants regarding Mr. Welghtman's condition and Mrs. Walker's Influence should not be put to trial.
