(Special Die patch by Ussed Wire te The Jeered)
New Tort Aug. II. There was
quiet funeral la a quiet country house
near Mutchuen, New Jersey, a week ago
lsst Thursday which entirely escaped
public notice, although It was fraught
with the sreatest publlo Interest as ons
of the acts in the twentieth century
drama Whose prologue, containing
statement of twentieth century princi
pals, was played out In New York five
years ago. -
In those days , the names of "Rand"
and Herron' ran through the streets.
The whole country was torn by a rage
of controversy all because a middle
aged university professor of radical
views and a thoroughly mature young
woman of pronounced i liberal Ideas
chose to Join their lives without the
formality of tbs established marriage
ceremony. ' :V
The situation was perhaps rendered
more Intense by the faot that Dr. George
H. . Herron Tied a wire and lour chil
dren. - Thia wife obtained a divorce on
the grounds. of desertion end cruslty
and lira K. D,- Rand, jnother of Miss
Carrie Rand,' paid 1(0.009 to the first
Mr Herron for the support of herself
and the children. , - - r '
; All these things, which were burning
lesues five years ago, have been so far
forgotten that the death of Mrs. Rand
in Italy last month and her funeral
from the Herron place at . Metchuea
Which she hsd bestowed upon her
son-in-law and daughter st the
time of their marriage, have not so. far
been even noticed In the public prints,
although Mrs. Rand was ons of the most
Interesting characters In the drama.
As Mrs. Rand had expressed a wish to
be buried la her own country, the body
was cremated and the ashes conveyed
across the water In a mortuary urn by

The Are committee of the city execu

night In withholding the' salary of
Mlchasl Relff. a lieutenant In the fire

committee disclosed the fact that Relff
bad filed an application with the city

ment In February. It 01, stating at that
time that ha was born In -Wisconsin
In 1170, which would make him It years
old at that time. Relff left the depart
ment and filed another application for
position a year, ago and made axri-
davtt that he was to years old. -v.
In filing awar the papers the secre
tary of the commission noticed xna dis
crepancy in the two affidavits and drew

1(01 as II and 1004 as It. This made
firs ffldavlts the men had made and In
all but one hs swore that he was over

not know his exact age and had no way
of finding out as his parents were dead.
After talking over the matter .the
committee came to the conclusion that
they could not ask the commission to

Asked Whether the constitution Is . to

he replied, "Certainly."
But when the correspondent cited tne

tbe ssnator was oMuted to confess the
Issue as inconceivable in this case. Your

to be that the law In Its present form
Is merely a desperate resort to quiet the
country. In view of the great conces
sions Russia wilj havs to make In tbe
peace settlement These concessions are
regarded as a disastrous naoesslty, for
which the autocracy is rssponslbls.
Senator Maroontoff refused to offer any
explanation why there was no splendid
ceremony attending the promulgation at
Moscow and St Petersburg, as would be
naturally expected and as the occasion
would suggest and he merely said that
It had beea done In the maner which

Ship Reported to Have Sunk Off

.' If ar Circumstances. u -
1 (Bpeolal rnspsteb te The teeraett
Seattle. Wash., Aug. It. That an un
known American Teasel wae scuttled by
hsr crew in order to obtain heavy Insur
ance on the vessel ' la the theory sd
vanosd ee a possible eolation to the
strenge story brought to Nsnalmo, Brit
ish Columbia, by a Japanese carpenter
named Susslyama, who reported that en
Wednesday at t o'clock he eaw a steamer
or good-slsed tugboat founder at the en
trance to Departure bay,, and that her
crew ef three men escaped In a boat
snd made for shore. ' This story le fur
ther confirmed In all particulars by A
Combatley. who has a ranch near Page's
lagoon. Mr. Combatley waa watching
the tug, which was steaming north, sud
denly she started to list to starboard
and In a Tew minutes sank. A email
boat which had been tied on behind the
steamer appeared, carrying three men
end making for shore. Mr, Combatley
fully expected them to lend at the
lagoon and, report but nothing has been
learned or "heard of them.
- The .fact that these men have not
shown up, tsksn In connection with the
elrcumstsnose under which the steamer
dissppeared, gives rise to the suspicion
that ths taien might have brought the
vessel from the American side and de
liberately scuttled hsr for the ineuv
enee.-r . ' .'
At the time the beat aann tbsre was
little sen and It le Inconceivable that a
steamer should "link after this faehion
nnless something extraordinary had, oc
curred, and the fact that the crew, too,
haa dissppeared gives rise to suspicion.
