ADMIRAL BARRY
QUITSJHE NAVY
Does
Srtrivoid Scandal,
He Sajs.
HAD SERVED FORTY YEARS
Wu Entitled to VoliHitarjr H#ttr*
mant Under the Law, but Reports
From 8an Francisco Say Officers of
ths Fleet Contemplated Making
Charges Against Him Reflecting
Upon His Moral Character.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The applica
tion of Rear Admiral Barry for retire
ment has been approved by President
Taft and he has been transferred to
the retired list of the navy.
The navy department has receiYed a
telegram from Rear Admiral Thomas,
who was appointed to succeed Ad
miral Barry, that he had assumed
command of the Pacific fleet. The
navy department issued the order re
tiring Admiral Barry on Saturday and
advised hiin of that fact by telegraph.
This action waB taken before the
publication of the allegations that offi
cers of the flagship West Virginia con
templated charges against the admiral
reflecting upon his moral character.
It was reiterated at the navy depart
ment that no charges nad been filed
here against Admiral Barry and all
that was known officially in regard to
his retirement was that lie desired to
avail himself of the privilege granted
by law to voluntary retirement after
forty years' active service.
Officers Demanded Action.
San Francisco, Jan. 17.—According
to reports published here Admiral
Barry sent his request for relief to
Washington following a conference
with the staff and line officers on
board the West Virginia, At this con
ference, it was reported, the sugges
tion was made that a loaded revolver
be sent to the admiral's cabin, but
this suggestion was lost on a vote.
The officers present then took an oath
of secrecy on condition that Admiral
Barry forward his resignation to
Washington at once.
Instead of resigning the admiral re
quested retirement. After that fact
became known the subject matter of
the conference leaked out until all the
sailors of the fleet were talking. Ad
miral Barry says:
"It is not true that I have been
forced to retire. Men have asked for
immediate retirement before. The
reasons that have caused me to do
this are partly public and partly pri
vate.
"The man who Is triumphantly vin
dicated under such circumstances is
as much a loser as if the charges were
proved to be true. I believed that by
requesting immediate letlrement I
could save the navy a scandal."

CZARINA CF RUSSIA.
Court Social Fetes Postponed
by Her Serious Illness.
v J*.
FEARS SHE IS NEAR DEATH
Russian Court Anxious About Csarfna'a
Condition.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 17.—Gloom has
settled down upon the court circles be
cause of the serious illness of the
czarina, whose condition is such that
she cannot at present leave her bed.
Partial paralysis is said to have at
tacked her feet and is spreading to her
legs and ai ms. All court fetes planned
for the immediate future have been
postponed. Specialists and nurses are
in constant attendance.
When the czarina returned from tak
ing the cure at Bad Nauheim she was
in much improved health, although she
still suffered from the extreme depres
sion that had alarmed the czar and the
royal family. Recently, it has just be
come known, the czarina suffered a re
lapse, following which paralysis in her
extremities is said to have developed.
The czarina is said to be possessed
of a fear that the life of the czarevitch
is in danger, fear for whose safety
haunts he" constantly.
INVOLVES TARIFFS
IN THE NORTHWEST
Rate Cases Argued Before Com
merce Commission.
Washington, Jan. 17.—Arguments la
the Western rate cases were begun be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion.
In general the cases are similar to
those involving the carriers in official
classification territory which were
argued before the commission last
week. They differ from the Eastern
cases, however, in an important re
spect. The latter involve only—or
practically only—class rates while
the Western cases involve only com
modity rates.
The territory involved in the direct
advances in Western rates includes
the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Missouri. North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Mon
tana. The rates filed are effective be
tween points in this territory and to
and from Chicago and other basic
points. The advance in rates affect
not merely local traffic, but all of the
traffic in the particular commodities
named movfng Into, through, or out of
the territory.
In a general way ninety-two com
modities are affected. All of them are
articles of daily consumption and, for
the greater part, may be regarded as
necessaries of life and business. While
no definite average of the advance is
possible It will approximate 16 per
cent.

THREE NEGROES

vestigation of the lynching of three
negro prisoners by a masked mob.
which stormed the jail here.
Sheriff Perkins declared there was
little chance of identifying any mem
bers of the mob.
Eugene Marshall, a negro, charged
with the murder of a negress in 1905
and who was in jail awaiting the dis
posal of a motion for a new trial, was
hanged at the end of a forty-two-foot
rope to the Chesapeake and Ohio
bridge.
Wade Patterson, a negro, charged
with attacking two white women, was
shot to death and his body thrown
into Clay creek.
James West, the third nogro. has
not been foi^id.
Sheriff Perkins stated he believed
West's body would be found in Clay
creek, as it was known the negro was
bound hand and foot by the mob be
fore he was dragged from his cell.
Lynchers Well Organized.
The mob was well organized and its
work was characterized by the total
absence of rioting. Every man was
masked and heavily armed, in addi
tion to being equipped with sledge
hammers and picks, with which the
jail doors were forced.
The mob was organized qraletly and
disbanded as quietly, the body of Mar
shall suspended from the bridge and
the battered doors of the jail being
tite only evidences of its work at day
light.
No shots were fired during the as
sault on the jail. There were seven
teen prisoners in the jail, but only the
three negroes were molested.
Before attacking the jail the mob
visited the electric light power bouse
and, at the point of a pistol, forced
Night Engineer John Suter to stop his
engines and shut off the currents. All
telephone wires in the jail were cut.
The policemen who tried to inter
fere with the mob were forced at the
point of pistols to go to another part
of town.

Dual Personality in Case of Wei!
to
Do West Virginian,
Baltimore, Jan. 17.—"If there is such
a thing as a dual personality in men It
is shown in this case," remarked Jus
tice Grannan, sitting in the central
district police court and deliberating
what he would do in the case of E.
Marshall Johnson, technically charged
with begging on the public streets.
Johnson, who is thirty-five years old,
is state's attorney tor Grant county,
W. Va., and counsel for the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. He is also editor
and owner of the Grant County Press,
a weekly publication. He had been ar
rested three times on a similar charge,
but Justice Grannan had released him
each time with a reprimand.
"Why do you beg on the streets?"
asked the justice when Johnson was
brought before him.
"1 don't know," replied the West
Virginian who is well dressed and of
refined appearance. "At times some
thing comes over me and I cannot re
sist it."
"I am not going to let you go this
time," said the justice, "because this
other self may get the best of you
again. I am not going to send you to
prison, either, but I will send for some
of your friends and place you In their
charge"
