KUSTENJI, Roumania, July 9. Admiral
Kruger this afternoon boarded and took
possession of the Russian battleship
Knlaz Potemkln, King Charles of Rou
mania having: sent instructions to the
commander of the Roumanian squadron
that the vessel be delivered to the Rus
sian authorities without raising any diffi
culties. The torpedo-boat which accompanied
the Knlaz Potemkin, however, left for
Odessa without surrendering, declaring
that she had not mutinied, but that the
Knlaz Potemkin had forced her to follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his squad
ron this morning, and, after exchanging
the customary salutes, intimated that he
had come to arrange for the transfer of
the Knlaz Potemkin. Admiral Kosllnsky,
commander of the Roumanian squadron,
boarded the Russian battleship Tchesme
and Informed Admiral Kruger that King
Charles had ordered him to turn the ves
sel over to the Russian Admiral. The
formalities of the transfer were completed
this afternoon, and Admiral Kruger
boarded the Knlaz Potemkin.
"Wild Disorder on Shipboard.
The Associated Press representative in
spected the Knlaz Potemkin after the
withdrawal of the Roumanian guard.
Despite the efforts of the Roumanians to
get things In ship-shape on board, the
battleship was In a state of wild dis
order. The officers cabins were stripped
of everything of value, and bloodstains
were everywhere. There was sufficient
ammunition aboard the Potemkin to have
enabled the mutineers to make a desper
ate resistance.
It is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two en
gineers and an officer with revolvers at
their heads.
All of the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception of Maiuschenko. the
leader of the mutiny, who resisted for
some time, and wanted to blow up the
ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard the
Knlaz Potemkin. Thoy were in a pitiable
condition from ill treatment. They de
clare that Matuschenko himself killed ten
officers of the battleship. All the papers
and books belonging to .the vessel were
destroyed.
Others Refused to .Toin Mutiny.
It appears that the decision to surrender
the Knlaz Potemkin was made when it
became evident that no other vessel would
Join in the mutiny. The crew of the
battleship seemed to be unaware of the
surrender of the Georgi Pobledonostsen.

Twenty sailors from the Knlaz Potemkin
have applied to the Russian Consul here
to be sent back to Russia.
The crew on torpedo-boat No. 257 were
given lxilf an hour in which to surrender
or leave port.
A considerable number of the crew of
the Kniaz Potemkin surrendered to the
Russian squadron, alleging that they had
acted under compulsion. The coal supply
of the mutinous battleship was nearly ex
hausted, but there was ample food on
board.
A Russian priest after the transfer held
a service of purification on board the

and her flags with holy water.

VIENNA, July 10. Dispatch 6s received
here from St. Petersburg state that 21
officers of the Russian army have been
courtmartialed and sentenced to be shot
within the last few days for refusing to
obey orders to proceed to Manchuria.
They sot up in their defense that other
offlcors who were possessed of private
fortunes had succeeded In evading the
orders to go to the front by bribing the
officers of the General Staff, whose duty
It was to make the assignment of officers
to proceed to the front.
A Lithuanian regiment refused to carry
out an order given by a brigade comman
der and a detachment of Cossacks was
detailed to place the revoltcrs under ar
resu When the mounted troops tried It
they were tired on by the Lithuanians and
a sanguinary encounter followed, which
resulted in 200 Cossacks being killed or
wounded. The revolters were finally

FRUITAGE OF
OTHERS' LABORS
Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis Deliv
ers Brilliant Sermon at
Exposition. .
RUSSIAN CRISIS HIS THEME
Asks That Mercy Be Shown the
Souls of the Autocracy, but
That Xonc Be Granted
Their Bodies.
Sunday services in the Exposition Au
ditorium wore largely attended vaster-
day afternoon, every available seat on
the lower floor being occupied. Rev.
Newell Dwight Hillis. of Brooklyn,
preached one of his characteristic ser
mons, and several musical numbers were
sung by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and the
quartet of the First Congregational
Church.
Dr. Hillis proved himself to be one or
the mots forceful speakers that have
ever occupied a. Portland pulpit. His
style Is vigorous, at the same time clear.
and eloquent. He speaks in an easy.
unrostralncd manner, and uses words that
convey a definite Idea to his auditors.
The impression that he created yester
day was a most favorable one.
Rev. Ergad P. Hill, of the First Pres
byterian Church, conducted tho services
and delivered the Invocation. The music
was furnished by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer.
Mrs. A. T. Bushong. Miss Leonora
lusher. . H. Boycr. W. A. Montcomcrv
and W. T. EIIiotL During the services
the first psalm was read responsivcly by
tnc minister and the congregation.
Fruitage of Others' Labors.
Dr. Hillis spoke of .those men who "en
ter into the fruitage of the labor of oth
ers." He drew a vivid picture of various
examples of this class, showing how men
and nations of one generation had for a
heritage the fruitage of those who lived
in former times. Dr. Hillis also spoke
or tne rush and bustle of modern life,
when little thought was riven to fhnn
other than of a business nature.
"There Is no time todav to idle. Men
die in an hour, or 40 minutes, or mnvh
SO minutes, of heart failure, ana tho'
minister races through the funeral
nervlces in IS minutes. We go on a trot
to tne cemetery, and como home In
the electric car. Evcrybodv is In .i
hurry.
'There are a few men who stand
easily as leaders in their generations.
we make a great deal of these oc
casional men. and journey now and
men to see where they labored.
In the course of study, we find that
for many centuries there were men
who had ideas on tho solar svste"m.
Each one had a new thought or two, !
and these thoughts all converged to a
point Then came Jsaac Newton, and :
he drew these converging lines to tho
point In his groat law. In the midst
of his wonderful and inspired guess, he
could not hold his pen. and called for
his frlonds to come to his side. Ho
knew that he had entered into the
fruitage of the labors of those who
had gone before.
The Assembled Ruby.
"There Is a man in Oxford who took
thousands of little ruby clinninc-s.
mlnod by the workers in the ruby
RKV. NEWELL D
mines. He selected those of the samo
color and hardness, and placed them in
a cup and fused them vith electric
current. He produced what is called
an assembled ruby, worth $300,000, and
he entered Into the fruitage of the
labors of those who mined the stones.
"When the great day comes, and the
final books arc written, many names !
that arc now considered too obscure i
will be brought out Into the shining i
light. to take place with the names ;
nf f i,o ...i . . , . 1
of he great men who entered Into the
fruitage of their labors, for great men J
have been shouldered up by others of
whom we know but little.
"The Russian fathers sowed for
blood and revolution, for crime and re
volt. Certainly the children are en
tering Into the fruitage of their labors.
Russia has been downtrodden, her peo
ple cannot read, and there are more
titlo deeds in Oregon than In the whole
empire. The fathers have been sowing
the seed. (
"Not long ago a great Russian busi
ness man hurried to the court at St.
Petersburg, and demanded' audience
with, those who were discussing the
terrible crisis into which the country
was being plunged. lie had a plan for
salvation.
Ve will have printed small nam
phlets containing a brief -history of the
French Revolution he said. This
book will picture to the . people of
Russia the horrors of that mighty con
flict, and will turn them from their
purpose.
Could Not JScad Boole.
"So tho srovcrnment decided to order
90.000,000 copies of a little book that
would describe the horrors of the
Revolution, when a smart man said
'What good will 00,000,000 books do our
ao.oeo.ooo peasants-who cannot read a
word?' The books would do no good,
and the plan was abandoned. The Rus
sians began to enter Into the frultaea
of what they sowed when they put a
stop to learning. .
"It took three revolutions and -(50.000
soldiers to secure for England her
three greatest institutions of liberty.
It took many years, also. How long
will it take to do the same work in
Russia? They have been sowing the
seeds of ignorance and superstition,
and they are entering into the fruitage
thereof. We ought not to condemn the
peasants of Russia. Remember the
spirit of 1775. Don't you suppose we
would be nihilists if we lived in Ruslsa
today? I think we would, for her dco
pie have been downtrodden. May God
have mercy on the souls of the auto
crats of Russia, but no mercy on their
bodies."

LID II JEKYLL
HYDE LIFE
Head of Old Philadelphia Fam
ily is Now Held in Jail
Without Bail, ,
ARSON BY THE WHOLESALE
John Wesley Priestly, of Textile In
dustry Fame, Kept Up Expensive
House Without Apparent
Means of Support.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 9. (Spe
cial.) John Wesley Priestly, head of
an old Philadelphia family which for
half a century ha3 been known
throughout the country on account of
Its connection with the textile Industry,
is in a Camden, N. J., Jail, said to hava
been leading for years a most amazing;
Jekyll-and-Hyde existence. Mr. Priest
ly is accused of supporting his family
In luxurious style on the proceeds of
money obtained through burning prop
erties which previously had been in
sured, and to have perpetuated frauds
on life insurance companies as well as
in connection with the death of his
brother
Mr. Prie3tlys means of support have
been a mystery for a number of years.
Though apparently the fortunes of the
old Priestly family were waning, and.
Its head l)ad no business conectlons
which would bring him in an Income
sufficient to live as family traditions
dictated, he continued to spend money
lavishly.
Lived In Elegant Style.
Ho maintained an expensive estab
lishment in a fashionable suburb. But
so old and respected was the family
that, despite this apparent incongruity,
no suspicion attached to the man until
today.
The specific charge on which Mr.
Priestly Is held without bail for the
grand jury Is that he set fire to tho
woolen mill of George Shimer & Co.,
in Camden, July 1. The motive al
leged is that he did so to permit a cred
itor of the company to recover through,
insurance the amount of the firm's In
debtedness to this man. The creditor
suspected of having done this is a v$ry
wealthy woolen manufacturer.
The Shimet tire Is almost an unim
portant Incident in the host of revela
tions that have come from every side
within the last week. The Fire Under
writers Association of Philadelphia haa
sent to Prosecutor Lloyd a list of seven,
manufacturing and business establish
ments in which Priestly had an Inter
est, all of which were mysteriously
burned. Insurance being collected.
