GENERAL KUROKI'S HEADQUAR
TERS IN THE FIELD, Tuesday, June 28.
(via Ping Tang,) July 10, (via Seoul), July
11. For the first time During the war cor
respondents and military attaches have been
permitted to accompany tha. Japanese troops
on ths advance, Instead of remaining be
Kurokl. Almost all the correspondents are
hind with the headquarters of General
how attached to the staffs of ths division
generals, and although they are not on -the
fighting line, they now witness the opera
tions from ,a cloeor stage than heretofore.
Lieutenant General Ian Hamilton, one
of the British attaches, travels
with General Kurokl. Colonel Hume,
another British attache, and Colonel E. II.
Crowder of the general staff of the Amer
ican army are to go with the western Col
umn, while Captain P. C. Maroh of ths
artillery corps, U. 8. A., is. to travel with
the eastern column.
The country through which ths army la
advancing is a succession of ranges of
closely wooded hills with narrow valleys
between them. The valleys are sown with
corn and beans and are traversed by many
Streams. The roads are winding and rocky.
There are many steep passes and ths en
gineers were required to do much road
building. ' .
Graves Mark Line of Retreat.
The Russian force on the Peklii road
before Mo Tien pass consisted of two reg
iments of east Siberian InfantrV, with four
guns, and an outpost of fOO cavalry. There"
was a sueoesslon of fresH' graves, each sur
mounted by a wooden cross upon which
had been penciled hastily the name of the
buried man, marking the line of the Rus
aian retreat
Sunday was oprreaslvely hot, and the
party on the Peking road camped In Shade
less and sandy fields. Thervoldlers Impro
vised shelters of boughs arid oorn stalks,
but still they suffered much from the heat.
Monday brought a heavy and chilling rain,
and the army was soaking for twenty-four
hours. There were few tents, and the men
huddled under trees, or built shelters on the
banks of the river, but most of them slept
In the fields with little to protect them from
the rain.
Today, Tuesday, It Is still raining, but ths
army Is again on the maroh, the men,
dripping wet, are plodding steadily on
through the deep mud.
Neither sun nor rain affects the ardor of
the Japanese Soldiers, who are In fine con
dition, confident of vlotory and keen to
meet the enemy. The men are wonderfully
hardy and there is remarkably little strag
gling or dropping out of ratios.
Ths Chinese In this region complain that
the Russians confiscated al)' their grain and
provisions and they are now helping the

of. the silver plank. He did not think
that any one had any 'doubt as to where he
stood and had hoped to maintain his silence
through the campaign preliminary to the
convention.
Judge Parker, had no Intimation of the
subject matter 'of ths platform until after
he had been notified by the Associated
Press of his nomination, said the authority.
When he. had gone for his horseback ride
hs realised .that If he allowed, ths con
vention to adjourn without knowing his
financial views the people would regard as
true Mr. Bryan's statement that the Judge
was tricking the convention and the party.
He was not willing to pront by the nom
ination and thus be regarded as being
guilty of trickery. It wss then, said the
Informant, that Judge Parker decided to
send a telegram to ths convention. He re
turned from his ride, snd without consult
ing snyone, wrote the telegram to Mr.
Sheehan, which was filed st Esopus at
11:60 a. m. on Saturday.

Mrs. Parker snd Mrs. Sheehftn then drove
to the Sheehsn house in one carriage and
Judge Parker and Mr. Sheehan in the
other. Later Mr. Sheehan made this state
ment to the Associated Press:
' I am authorised to say that no telegram
was sent by Judge Parker to Senator Hill
on any subject while- the latter was in
St. Louis.
Judge Parker returned from Mr. Bhee

dined. This afternoon In reply to his tele

ATLANTA, Qa., July 11. Clafk Howell,
national democratic committeeman from
Oeorgla, today said:
In the selection of the chairman ot the
national democratic committee there
should be- no room for apprehension that
the choice-will not only -De satisfactory
to Judge Parker, but more than that, the
committee will be guided In its action by
Judce Parker's - exoreaalon on the - sub
ject , -
mis is ins nrst urns in many years, per
haps ever, that the chairman of the na
tional committee has not been chosen at
the meeting of the committee immediately
after ths adjournment of the national con
vention. '
Until the fit. Louis convention adjourned
r: was assumed that Thomaa Taggart of
ndlana waa ths choice of Judge Parker,
but the fact that a majority of the execu
tive committee favored him grew out of
that current understanding. If it should
develop that Judge Parker prefers some
one else, it goes without Saying that the
committee will be guided accordingly at
the meeting to be held In New Tork.
Mr, Taggart had charge of Judge Park
er's campaign in Indiana, and It was
partly through his efforts that the pivotal
state was among the first to Instruot. H
had been in close touch with tha Parker
movement - and no state's action con
tributed more to the ehaDlnir of the verdict
of the convention than that of , Indiana..

From statements made by Rev. Allen K.

in whom ths woman Is said to havs con
fided to some extent, her correct name Is
Mrs. M. K. Dantes of either New Tork or
Washington. Upon profhlse of secrecy, ths
woman told Rev. Smith that her mother's
name Is Mrs. Martha Wiggins, and that she
lives at 1111 K street northwest, Washing
ton, D. C.
When pressed by Rev. Smith' for her rea
sons for using an assumed name, Mrs.
Smith, or Mrs. Dantes, refused to give any,
remarking that Shs had personal reasons
for not wishing to be kbOwn by her correct
name.
WASHINGTON. July 11. Inquiry at 111
K street, where Mrs. Martha Wiggins, the
mother of Mrs. M. K. Dantes Is said to
hava lived, disclosed ths fact that Mra.

Michael W. Zeller, murderer of his wife
and father-in-law, William R. Burkamp,
after being a fugitive for fifty-three hojra
and, according to his own statement, within
a few hundred yards of his home all the
time, was captured yesterday afternoon at
about t o'clock by John P. Peterson of
S929 Ames avenue. Zeller now occupies
cell No. 6 at the city Jail, groaning from
a self-inflicted knife wound that was
made at the time of his capture. While It
is believed Zeller intended to kill himself,
his wound Is described as being very slight
The apprehension of ' the murderer was
efteoted when hs came out of his hid
ing place to his house for food and water.
Up to the time of the funeral of Zeller's
wife and father-in-law yesterday after
noon Policeman Nellson was on watch at
the Zeller home. When the funeral cortege
had left ht Burkamp home Nellson was
ordered by Captain Itass to go to the
Burkamp place, and arrangements were
made with Peterson to stay at ths Zeller
house with a double-barreled shotgun.
About t o'clock, while Peterson was sit
ting in a rocking chair at ths southeast
corner of the house, his shotgun by Ms
side, he heard the chickens running up ths
hill toward ths house and Immediately as
sociated this with the presence ot someone
down In the lower part of the yard. Peter
son then ran into the house and took up
his station with the gun. In less time than
it takes to tell it Zeller waa aeen peering
In at the window of ths front porch.
Peterson leveled the gun st ths murderer,
who then started to run back down the
hill whence he had apparently come.
Peterson followed and noticed Zeller
stumble as hs ran through the cherry or
chard toward the barn. Zeller than
stopped, and Peterson asked:
t-Ars you Mike ZellerT"
The fugitive' responded In the affirmative.
"I am an officer and you are tinder ar
rest," exclaimed Peterson.

zeller then wanted to gO In the house
and get something' to eat and change his
clothes, but Peterson stoutly refused the
request, saying: "Tou go out to the road
ahead of Jhis gun." At this Zeller asked

the hill for some distance. As Zeller con
tinued to approsch. Peterson said:'
"Stop or I'll blow your head off."
Ihe murderer then said he wnuM nnt

piece of" rone, which ha declare,! waa all

to Zeller:

brella over him- John O. Routke and tils
brother-in-law, John Williams, came from
the Burkamp house, thinking, aa they aay,
that It would be wise to move around at
that time and see whether they 'could not

latter saying, "Oh, my God, I am suffer

the others suffered." i
Peterson then hurried to the talanhnna
at Forest Lawn cemetery and notified the
police station.

, Charged with Mnrder.
Zeller was taken to the police station
and ths oharge 'of . murder placed against
him. fHls wound was dressed . Iiy City
Physician Ralph and the police surgeons.
It Is not, now thought that any serious
oonsequenoes will result from ths wounds.
Zeller told Captain. Hase that hs . had
lain out in the high brush and undergrowth
within a few Hundred yards of his home
during ths entire time the posse was
searching for. him, and he said several
ofnoera passed within six feet of him. Hs
did not flee for rsfuge from the Storm
early Monday morning, . though without
coat or wrap of any. kind.
While much weakened, from exposure,
wounds and the mental- strain Incident to
his hiding, Zeller managed to articulate a
few intelligible words to Chief of Police
Donahue and Chief of Detectives Dunn
last evening.
"What was 'the cause of tha trouble T"
asked Chief Donahue.
"My sons and then ths wife took their
part It has been going on for years. It
hurta mo to talk."
The man then asked for a drink of water,
and was left alone on his cot, an object
of, mingled pity and contempt.
Two of his sons, Mike snd Will, called
at the station during the evening to see
their father, but it was thought beat to
deny them until at least today.
The news of Zeller's capture waa first
conveyed to the bereaved family at ths
cemetery by Rev. Charles W, Bavidge, who
officiated at tha services. Mra Burkamp
was not told the news until part way
home. The carriage bearing Will Zeller
and Will Burkarnp home from the funeral
met the pat r pi wagon, near the Zeller
home. Zeller and Burkamp started to alight
from the carriage, . but Officer Nellson

Why not? A little vanity
is a good thing. Perhaps
you can't, be hair-vain, your

the hair, makes the hair
grow, and always restores
color to gray hair.

Later In ths evening when City Physlclsn
Ralph and Tollcs Surgeons ' MscPherson
and Leery had thoroughly examined Zeller
they found that the self-lnlllcted wound
was but a trivial affair, the knife having
struck a rib about two Inchea below the
left nipple near the apex of ths heart
Ths dsnger, they tear, lies In the exposure
snd lack of nourishment the man experi
enced during tha fifty-three hours be wns
out and the amount of water he drunk
when captured. ' When "asked If he had
eaten anything aince the murders were
committed, he said:
"I went to the house this afternoon at !
o'clock and ate some bread and milk. That
Is how I wss captured.".
This sssertlon ht discredited by the police,
who any the house was closely watched all
ths time, and that It was impossible for
him to have entered it without being seen.
Chief Donahue attempted to' make the
man rstk of the-episode, but was unablo
to get sny statement from him and as the
man seemed to be considerably worried hy
the questioning ths attending doctors for
bade any further conversation with htm.
Around Zeller's neck are a number of
scratches, some of them bloody, and which
look as If he had tried to cut. his throat
with the knife but had lost his nerve at
the last moment. There Is ' also a livid
mark at the bnek-of the nefk which Is he
lleved to be due to- an attempt to strangle
himself, n
While the police wagon was on the wny
to the house after hearing of the,inpture
of Zeller, It parsed the funeral cortege of
the murdered victims-also on th "w-y to
the house. As It drove by one. o'f the
mourners cnlled out. "Have you got hlm7"
but the police, fearing trotihle If Zeller Nvss

driving on quickly, managed to get Zellet
away before the others'- arrived. ' On their
way back to the police steHon they again
passed ths funerat train, hut as Zeller was

not seen. ; . t
He was given a newspaper telling of he
