miral Nebogatoff is growing. The
epithets, "Coward” and "Traitor." are
coupled with his name, especially since
the receipt of the Tokio despatches
showing that his surrender was not
in the heat of battle, but with the
crews could have escaped after the
destruction of the ships. ,

TOKIG, June 2.-Tbc reported sink-
ing of the Russian cruiser Jemtchug,
in the recent naval battle, has been
confirmed. .
It is planned to bring the battleship
Orel to Yokosuka, where the emperor
will visit her.
A remarkable story is in circulation
concerning the wounded on the Orel.
It is said that at the opening of the
fight 300 men Were killed and wound-
ed ahd that the groans and shrieks
of wounded exercised so harmful an
effectuhnt it was decided to throw
the mortally wounded into the sea.
One hundred and forty. it is said,
were thrown overboard. Those slight»
1y wounded were then fastened to the
must to prevent their interference
with the fighting of the ship.
it is impossible to obtain any con-
firmation of this story, but later re-
ports indicate that the crew of tho
Orel fought with desperate bravery
throughout the day previous to their
surrender. The hull of the vessel is
shell marked, and many of her guns
are smashed and dismounted, '

interest was shown by all and there
was active discussion of the Frick re

to the time the meeting began. Anoth-
er topic of these discussions was the
report, that gigantic scheme had been
planned to obtain control of the so-
ciety's immense capital holdings in
the interest of Standard Oil financiers.
That anything of the kind was in pros-
pect was denied by Samuel Untermyer.
attorney for James H. Hyde. Mr. Un-
termyer said: "That report is too
ridiculous for any comment from me.
i need not take notice of it at all. It
is perfectly absurd"
Mr. Hyde and Mr. ilniermyer were
in consultation some time prior to the
adjourned meeting of the Board of D1-
rectors which was, to consider the re-
port of the Frick committee.
The Hyde forces assembled in con-
ference in Mr. Hyde’s‘oflice before the

Shortly before the directors' inset-
lug n representative of William Ncl-
sou Cromwell, the lawyer, visited
Vice-President Hyde's office. ,
A new alignment of the partic con-
cerned in the controversy, appeared
to have been established today.
A friend of Vlce~l’resideht James H.
Hyde, today gave out :1 statement to
the effect that the. report of the Frlck
committee probably would be voted
down. This plan, it was said, had the
support of President James W. Alex-
ander, who hertofore had opposed Mr.
Hyde. A conference between Mr.
Hyde and his friends and attorneys
was held this morning and it was no-
ticed that neither E. H. Harriman nor
Jacob H. Schiff attended it although up
to the time bf the presentation of the.
Prick report it was believed that Mr.
Harriman and Mr. Schli‘f were strong
supporters of Mr. Hyde. (IGOTKC .l.
Gould. however. attended the confer-
ence in Mr. Hyde‘s office.
A director of the Equitable was quo-
ted today to the effect that the. Frick
report rccommeded that the directors
appoint a committee of five to select. a
new president. first. vice-president and
second vice-president, to, succeed
Messrs. Alexander. Hyde and Tarbell.
Four members of this committee. it
.was said, had been agreed upon.
The Equitable directors took a one
hour adjournment at 1:26. The early
session was taken up principally with
statements made by President AISXRIL
der and Vice Presdent Hyde, opposing
the adoption by the directors of the
Frlck committee report. Mr. lngails.
a member of the Prick committee, was
asked what he thought would be done
with the Frick report. He replied that
he believed it probably would be de—
feated by a vote of 20 to 16. Mr.
Prick said he could not tell when the
committee report would be lven to
the public. The directors w ll meet
again at 2:80.

Legislators Casi Aside the
Cares offiiaie
Cally bedscked with badges of vivid
green the members of the Legislature
and many others attended the barbs us
and sheepbake given at Compouuce
Lake, yesterday. by Senator Allan W.
Paige. ieader‘of the Senate and "often
mentioned candidate for the‘ republi-
can nomination for governor in 1906.
For the first time since the old days
When the General Assembly was wont
to make several “Junkets" yearly in
visiting state institutions, the lawmak-
ers put aside the cares of legislation
and set forth for a day of recreation
and pleasure, and the Bridgeport sen-
ator furnished a maximum of both yes-
terday. There was no stint in the sup
ply of entertainment and enjoyment
and if this morning many a austere
and dignified senator or representative
has “a bend," why, what of it?
in order to accept the senator's in-
vitation both houses met early in the
morning and after half-hour sessions
the members gave themselves over to
the pleasure of‘the eighteen-mile trol-
ley ride and the ensuing festivities at;
the pretty lake. Five big open cars‘
were required to carry the party and
these were filled to repletion. Governor
Roberts, Lieutenant Governor Wood~
ruff, Secretary of the State Bodenwein
and Treasurer Walsh Were is the. lead-
ing car of the procession and music
was furnished by Colt's Band. The
route through the city was by the
Zion street has to the Junction with
New Britain avenue and thence
through Newington. New Britain and
i’laiuvlllc to the lake and the sheep-
bake. .
0n the eastern outskirts of New
Britain the legislators were met by
Mayor iiassett of that city and after
he had been “Hailed to the, Chief" by
the band. he extended the freedom of
his city to the tourists. The band kept
on playing as it passed through the;
hardware town and as it, was then 12'
o‘clock and the factory whistles wcrei
blowing and the streets were flllcdi
with people. the legislators received a
fine ovation. A little later Plainville
turned out with cheers and sidewalk
applause and inter still. after a splen-
did ride over the hills and through
the valleys the party was safely land-
ed on the shores of pretty Lake Com-1

had been assiduous in his attentions
to his guests. He passed from car

sentiment was drunk with applause.
Then Senator Donovan. seeing how
successful his first endeavor had been.
proposed “our hostess" and explained
that he referred of course toddenator
Paige. This was drunk with deep
enthusiasm. Then the State of Connec-
ticut and its governor. the Senate and,
the House. the speaker of the House
and the House chairman of the indie-
é'd a tonsil,
lary committee were proposed and
and their healths were drunk with
high approbation. Then Senator
Paige "tooted" his dabhorn again and
suggested that it would. perhaps. be
more in order to have the tenets drunk
and the accompanying speeches made,
after, rather than before the barbecue.
His request was, as far as the speeches
were concerned, forthwith acquiesced,
in. Then the barbecue was served.
To those who do not know what a
barbecue dinner it. is may be said that.
he served yesterday. it consists, of
roasted clams, mutton from sheep car-
esses cooked in the open air. potatoes
and roasted corn. it seems simple,
but there is a great deal to it. Coffee
is served for these who wish it and
there are other liquid refreshments,
the latter being composed of a little
lemon. some sugar. a dash 0f water,
and the chief product of the island of
Santa Cruz. The last mentioned is
served copiously. An attractive fea-
ture of a barbecue dinner is that it re«
quires no bili-of-fnre. Everybody

wished and there was a repletlon for

The numerous waiters having per-
formed their arduous duties. Senator
Paige again brought his born into
requisition and after the vociferous
applause which greeted him had lub-
sidéd called upon Mr. Kencaly for a
few remarks; While. Mr. Kencaly was
proceeding to the spcakers' table the
band struck up a lively tune and to
this Senator Donovan danced 1; reel on
one leg. an accomplishment which
brought down the assemblage. Then
Mr. Kenealy spoke for the [legislature
of 1905. He referred to the work of
the session and declared that the Log-
islnturc had in its lnbors been actuat-
ed by a common purpose for the best
interests of the commonwealth of
Connecticut. "He wna'loudiy applaud-
cd and his health was drunk heartily.
Then Senator Pnlgc announced that
Governor Roberts and Lieutenant (iov‘
ernor \Voodruff had been obliged to
withdraw from the festivities, but in
their places Senator Judson would
speak for the glorious old state of Con
uectlcut. Senator Judson paid a high
compliment to Senator Paige and de-
clared in reference to that senator's as-
pirations that "the path to the execu-
tive chamber lay through the north—

lations. ,
