Tokyo, May 0.—It was announced by the imperial navy board Inst night that Admiral Xehogntoff's squadron Joined Rojestvensky's fleet at dawn yesterday morning. This information, given out here to newspaper correspondents, Is at once an illustration of the great work of Japan's intelligence department and an expression of contempt for the French * government, whose ships have for forty-eight hours been In touch with Nebogatoff's fleet. The Russian Ited sea ships anchored in Paderan harbor early in the morning, and Itojestvensky's vessels were then off Dun island, twenty miles to the nortllenst. It is formally announced that two French torpedo hoat destroyers and a cruiser were in Paderan harbor.New York, May 9.—The bitter controversy whieli has heretofore involved only the executive officers of the Equitable Life Assurance society and their closest advisers has extended to the members of the board of directors.

The list of dead is now placed at 28 and the injured at over 100. Denver, May 0.—The entertainment of President Roosevelt by the citizens of Denver last night was a lining conclusion of a day of royal welcome as the president journeyed through Colorado from Glenwood Springs, which he left at 0 p. m., to Denver, where he arrived at 5:30 p. m. All the towns along the Denver and Rio Grande railroad centered their population at the stations to greet him, and every evidence of hearty good will was seen and heard. The Wllkesbarre team played at Gloversville, N. Y., yesterday afternoon, and succecded in making it three straight victories during tho series. The score was 7 to 3 In favor of Wilkesbarre. The Wilkesbarre players gave Wagner brilliant support in the field and did effective work at the bat. The special features of the game wero the effective work of the Wilkesbarre infield and the batting of Shaw, Donovan and Seigle. POLICE ARE WORKING. ROBBERS WERE HALTED. The secret meeting yesterday afternoon was an outgrowth of this difference of opinion in the directorate. The Frlck committee, composed of members of tile board and commissioned to investigate the affairs of the socicty, was considered by several of the directors as composed of factionists who could not be relied upon to make a report entirely unbiased in its findings, and it was because of this feeling that the informal meeting was decided on. Two Arrests Have Been Made in Murder Case. Surprised With a Load of The tornado struck the southern end of the town and cut a path 100 yards In width through its entire length. A heavy rain storm had preceded the wind, and, following the tornado was a scene of complete desolation. The storm broke out upon the town with great suddenness, wrought its terrible havoc within a few minutes and, sweeping on into the rich farming country north of Marquetto, caused further damage there. Shot at Avoca. The crowning event of the dny came In the form of n banquet tendered to President Roosevelt by tlie Denver chamber of commerce in the Brown Palace hotel. The banquet began at 8 o'clock and continued until .11 o'clock. TO COMPLETE BUILDING Tin- Arrested Foreigners Suspected of Having Knowledge of the Crime Olliccr of lD. iV II. Co.

He responded to the toast "The Nation." .Morning—Sliote Were K.v- It is estimated here that if the Russians intend to sail for the sea of Japan it will take at least two weeks to tit out Nebogatoff's squadron of warships with a plentiful supply of coal and provisions. It is known that ships sailing under the German and French flags from Saigon and Hue are off the French Indo-C'hlna coast under the protection of Kojestvensk.v's cruisers laden with everything that Nebogatoff requires. If it is really the intention of the Russian commander to sail toward Japan and he is not hindered by any circumstances his departure will probably be about the lilth or 20tli of May. Two Weeks to Fit Out. The search for the murderer of Guiseppe Castelllni is being pursued without abatement by the police. While the developments so far have not been of a startling nature yet sufficient ground has been covered to make it seem probable that the guilty man will be brought to justice. Just how far the police have gone in their investigation cannot be learned, but it is said that Castelllnl's movements previous to the murder have been learned. The only definite work done in the case was the arrest of two foreigners about 5 o'clock this morning by the police. The men were Dominick Polis and Dominick Pelligan, both of whom live on Market street and are employed at No. 4 shaft of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. What connection these men have with the crime the police refuse to state, out it is not thought that they are among those directly concerned. Both men are employed on the night shift and they returned home from work last night about 11 o'clock. About 5 o'clock, while they were still In bed, two officers went to the house and arrested them. Aft.er the men dressed they were taken to the Water street jail, where they are still conllned. Thoy have not been given a hearing yet. Chief of Police Loftus is busily engaged on the case and he is aided by County Detective Jones. cluingcd and One Itoli- "Twenty-three members of the board were present. Mr. Schiff called the conference together, stating that he was not alone responsible for the meeting, but that many of the directors had spoken to him of the necessity of the directors meeting and conferring upon the present situation and condition in the society, and then stated at some length the reasons which he thought necessitated a general conference before official action qhould be taken by the board. In Marquette the wreckage of many houses was carried away entirely, while others were picked up bodily, moved a short distance away, and dropped to earth. Iwr Fell, A fight between burglars and a D. & H. detective took place early this morning In Avoca, and in a hot exchange of bullets one of the burglars was struck but by the aid of his pal succeeded in making his escape. The tight followed an attempt- to break into the freight depot of the D. & H. early this morning. This station had been robbed at least once a month for nearly a year past, and each time the burglars succeeded in getting away with some booty. The railroad company determined to try to break up the thtevlng and has had the station closely watched of late, bast night Detective E. J. Xe&ry, of Carbondale, was detailed to watch and he stationed himself in a passenger car nearby that is used as a ticket station. At about ten minutes to three this morning Neary saw two men approach the freight house and attack the door with" an are. As soon as their purpose became evident the detective leveled a shot gun at the men and fired. The burglars, Instead of running away, turned and sent a fusllade of bullets toward the car. Neary now took his revolver and returned the fire, shooting four times at the men. One of the fellows dropped as though he had been wounded, but by an effort regained his feet and with the assistance of his companion succeeded in limping away, the pair going down Main street. Neary made no attempt to follow them. About live minutes later, the station agent, who had been aroused by the shooting, came on the scene, but by this time the men had Money Will lie Borrowed to Complete the Fourth I'loor of the New Many of the victims were killed as they lay asleep. Others, maimed and bleeding, awoke to find themselves buried In the wreckage of their homes. \ Building for Use us Dormitor- ies—Move Regarded as Mr. Roosevelt in part said Mr. Roosevelt's Speech. Kxeellent Investment Following the storm came a lull. Soon cries of the injured and frightened people conkl b« heavd on every hand. Men with lanterns appeared here and there among the wreckage and as quickly as possible the work of rescue was begun. Progress was slow because of the darkness, and It Was some time before anything like a systematic plan could be made to remove the Injured. "I want to say a word as to governmental policy, in which I feel that this whole country ought to take a great interest, and which is itself but part of a general policy into which I think our government must go. I have spoken of the policy of extending file powers of the interstate commerce commission and of giving them particularly the power to tlx rates and to have the rates that they tlx go into effect practically at once. As I say, that represents, in my mind, part of what should be the general policy of this country. The policy of giving not to the state but to the national government an increased supervisory and regulatory power over corporations is the first step and, to my mind, the most important step. Important action was taken last evening at the regular monthly meeting of the Y. M. C. A. directors. As is well known, the fourth floor of the association's new building, on Broad street, was left unfinished, on account or a lack of funds. The original intention was to use the floor for dormitories, the same as the third floor, in order to secure income for the association. Every dormitory on the third floor was rented within a couple of months after they were ready, and the success of this feature of the building led the directors to consider the advisability of borrowing money to complete the fourth floor dormitories at once. The question was thoroughly discussed by the board last evening, and the concensus of opinion seemed to be that it would be a good investment to borrow money to complete the work. It has been estimated that the cost of finishing the fourth floor would be about $3,000. Judging from the income of the third floor, the fourth floor would bring In sufficient revenue to cover the interest charges and pay something on the principal each year. Under the resolution adopted by the board, the building committee is authorized to borrow $3,000 and proceed at nnco with the work of completing the fourth floor, $!D00 to be set aside each year from the Income of the dormitories to apply on the principal of this new loan. It is hoped to have the work completed within a few months, so that the new dormitories will be ready for use early in the fall. "Charles Stewart Smith was made chairman, but 110 secretary was appointed in order that It should not take the form of a meeting, but merely be a conference. Speeches were made, with suggestions covering the future management of the society and the action which the speakers thought the board of directors should take at the meeting. Charles Stewart Smith Presided. Hie imperial navy department is thoroughly informed of the Russian movements, and there Is a strong belief that France has made strong representations to the Russian government asking that the stay of tlie warships be cut to the shortest possible limit. ONE SIGNATURE VERSUS $13,000 Benson Wliy School District lias No After their departure from French waters they will be forced to return home or light without delay. Any attempt to make a sea base of n Chinese harbor would not be tolerated for a moment by Japan. There Is excellent authority for the statement that several Japanese warships have not been far distant from the Russian fleet in the last three days. "It was unanimously decided that it would be unwise before the report of the investigating committee and the meeting of the board for any resolution to be adopted or any definite action Money—Chairman O'Brien Missed Signing Numc Once. For the past two weeks there has been more than a little anxiety caused by the non-arrival of $13,131 at the office of the city treasurer. This sum is the amount dus froiji a sale of bonds by the school district some time ago. The bonds were made out and sent away, after having been accepted by the firm of Trowbridge & Niver, of Chicago, but the money from the firm failed to come. The cause has just been discovered and, it Is hoped, rectified. T. P. O'Brien, president of the school board, had to sign all the bonds and all the coupons, afllxlng his signature to the papers something over 1,- 600 times. In doing this work he Involuntarily passed one of the coupons without algning It. The papers were sent out with one signature missing and for this reason the company refused to accept the bonds without a correction. The bond with the unsigned coupon was returned to this city, but Mr. O'Brien was in Philadelphia, undergoing treatment for eye trouble. It was sent to him there and was signed by him yesterday and mailed to Chicago, The money for the bonds Is expected within the next few days. "This only affirmative action taken was that the board should be called together not later than the 31st of this month and upon ample notice, so that the directors from a distance could arrange their affairs to he present aud that the investigating committee should if possible make their report at that time." suggested, "lu tlie days of the fathers of the older among you the highways of commerce for civilized nations were what they had ahvaya been—that is. waterways and roads. Therefore they were open to all who chose to travel upon them. Within the last two generations we have seen systems grow tip, and now the typical highway of commerce is the railroad. Compared to the railroad, the ordinary road for wheeled vehicles and the waterways, whether, natural or artificial, have lost all their importance. The body of Castellinl will be burled late this afternoon from & Murray's morgue, on South Main street. Services will be held in the Italian Catholic church and the remains will be buried in the Italian cemetery on Market street. The inquest in the case will be held this evening at 7 o'clock sharp in the city hall. Oyama's Army Moving, Beyond announcing that the advance of the Japanese army continues, the imperial war department declines to make public the dispatches from Mancliurlaii headquarters. In one of the speeches it was suggested that there should be a change of officers of the society. escaped The only item bulletined yesterday is the announcement of a cavalry success at Banshihohen, which is well along the easterly road toward Kirln. The llussian forces at this point, eighty-live miles west of the lower Sungari river, were surprised on Sunday night and forced northeast. SERIOUS SHOOTING MAN BEAT HIS WIFE WITH MINING SHOE It was regarded as significant that II. C. Frlck. although he was lu town, did not attend the meeting. Daughter of Editor George Mane, of Nation Should Control Highways. Conyngliain, Accidentally Sliot "Here in Colorado, for instance. It is the railroads which are the only highways that you need take into account In dealing with the question of commerce in the state or outside of the state. Therefore under this changed system we see highways of commerce grow up. each of which is controlled by a single corporation or individual, sometimes several of them being controlled in combination by corporations or by a few individuals. When such is the case, in my .judgment it is absolutely necessary that the nation, for the state cannot possibly do it, should assume a supervisory and regulatory function over the great corporations which practically control the highways of commerce. As a Result Woman Was I.aid I'p Gift of Park to Cincinnati. by Her Brother Several Dnyn—She Then Had ller Cincinnati, O.. May 9.—Charles E. I'erkins of RoNtou. former president of the Chicago, Burlington nnd Quincy railway, has presented to the city of Cincinnati a tract of land five and onehalf acres In extent for a public park as a memorial to his mother. Mr. Perkins was born in Cincinnati. The only restrictions on the gift are that the public shall have access to the park at all hours, that there shall he a playground for children and that 110 portion be made into a mere (lower garden. The land is in the residence quarter.Miss 3mma Maue, daughter of George Maue, proprietor of the Conyngham Valley Herald, was admitted to the Hazleton hospital last night at 10:30 o'clock, having been accidentally shot by her brother, Ijpnn, while shooting at a mark near the family home at Conyngham. The ball penetrated the young lady's abdomen, and the wound Is a serious one. Miss Maue and her brother were shooting at a mark with a llobert rifle. While the young man was handling the weapon it accidentally exploded, and the bullet struck the young lady. It Is feared that she may not recover. While 110 specific news is made known from the front, the fact that the censorship is again in force Is regarded here as proof that the preliminary operations of a big battle are under way, and it is not at all improbable that a victory oil land will be reported in advance of the long talked of sea light. NEW MANAGER. Husband Arrested Mrs. John Felice, of Market street, had her husband arrested last evening before Alderman Barrett, charged with beating her with a mining shoe. The.charge lodged against him was aggravated assault and battery.
