PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-In his effort
to defeat the consummation of the plan to
lease the city gas works to the United Gas
Improvement company for seventy-five
years for $25,1X0,000, Mayor Weaver today
dismissed from ofllce David J. Smyth, the
director of the department of public safety,
and Peter E. Costello, tho director of the
department of public works. The mayor
has announced that he Is in the light to
the bitter end, which means that a great
political battle Is now on and will be car
ried to the polls next November. In his
fight against the gus lease, and the republi
can organization, the mayor has called in
as counsel, Kllhu Root of New York and
former Judge James Gordon of this city.
Frederick J. Shoyen, director of the de
partment of supplies, by direction of the
mayor, suspended, pending an investiga
tion, Arthur R. H. Morrow, the assistant
director of the department. The removal
of Directors Smyth and Costello did not
come until after the mayor had asked them
to resign Immediately. In reply each sent
a letter to the maor, offering his resigna
tion to take effect when his successor
"shall be quallled." The mayor answered
them by demanding their Immediate resig
nation. The answers the directors returned
were to the effect that they hud tendered
their reHignutions "in the usual form and
It was the provisions of tho city charter,"
and that they would stand by them as
tendered. Mr. Weaver then ended the cor
respondence by sending to each a lector of
dismissal.
Major Makes Appointments.
After the removals had bee.n announced,
the mayor made public the names of the
men he had selected for the places. They
are Colonel Sheldon Potter, to 1111 the office
of director of public safety, ad interim, and
A. Lincoln Acker, to be director of the
department of public works, ad interim.
The fight over the form of resignation
was an Important one In that the new
directors can only bo qualified by the con
firmation of councils, which Is controlled
by the organization. Each dismissed di
rector received 10,uot) a year and together
they had control of 10,000 office holders.
It Is not likely that city councils will
confirm the men appointed by the mayor,
but they will hold the office ad interim.
The two dismissed directors refused to use,
their Influence to help the mayor In his
anti-gas lease fight and this led the mayor
to ask the directors for tnelr resignations,
right Koea to the Tolls.
The news of the mayor's action spread
quickly to every section of the city.
Everyone wanted to know what the "or
ganization" was going to do. It 4s evident
that It is planning for a great contest. The
next city election will be held , in Novem
ber, when a sheriff and coroner arc to be
elected. The "organization" csndluate for
sheriff Is Harry C. Ransley, president of
select council and an advocate of the gas
lease, and It Is likely that the reform or
ganizations of the city will center their
strength to defeat him. While the mayor
refuses to say what his future action will
be regarding cither office holders who op
pose him, It Is believed that, he Is not yet
through with his work In thia direction.
The reform organizations of the city are
continuing with a vim the plans to block
the lease. Ward meetings wer held to
night, the largest of which took place
at the Bourse.

TOKIO, May a. (Noon) Imperial head

The Russian cavalry which detoured to

the Llao river was frequently defeated by
our rear guards. On May lt, after their
failure in the vlclnltv of Tnfanaslien. they
camped with the main strength, at Slaot

on May 21 they retreated to the right

the situation Is unchanged.
Japanese Hold Hank Books.
CHE FOO, May 23.-18 p. m.)-The offi
cials of the Russo-Chlnese bank at Port
Arthur, since the capitulation of that for
tress, have been unsuccessfully endeavor
ing to secure the release from the Japanese
of the books of the bank and over 1W bags
of banking and other commercial and pri
vate correspondence, delivered In care of
the bank for dispatch from the besieged
city.
Tills mall was the accumulation of the
few days prior to the capitulation of the
Russian forces. After the destruction of
the Port Arthur postofllce during the bom
bardment the outgoing mulls were en
trusted to the bank vaults for safe keeping
until the first opportunity for their dis
patch.
On account of the undue retention of the
books by the Japanese the bank has not
been able to close transactions involving
shipments to Port Arthur from America,
Germany, England and France. The de
tained correspondence contains remittances
and returned bills, documents for mer
chandise confiscated by reason of being
contraband and for goods otherwise lost.
Sio News from RoJestvmky.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 23. The Asso
ciated Press was Informed at the admiralty
today that no direct advices have been re
ceived fnm Vice Admiral Rojestvensky for
ten days, when It Is believed he set out
on his long voyage. The report of Ro-
Jestvensky's death was ridiculed at the ad
miralty.
The sending of Vice Admiral Birileff to
Vladlvostock, It Is now explained, is a
natural precautionary measure for the pur
pose of having an energetic commander ut
Vladivostok to replace Rojestvensky In tho
event that the latter Is killed or disabled
during the coming sea light, no doubt
being entertained that If the fleets come
together Admiral Togo's vessels will con
centrate their fire on the Russian flagship.
Should Rojestvensky come out of the fight
victorious and enjoying fair health It Is
considered a foregone conclusion that he
will be rewarded by an appointment to tho
supreme command. Fortunately, the best
relations prevails between Rojestvensky
and Birileff and the latter would be glad
to give way to his victorious colleague.
Nemlrovitch Danchenko, the well known
Russian newspaper correspondent, has
written a spirited defense of the Russian
soldiers against the reproach of drunken
ness, comparing his observations In the

flict, to show the Increased sobriety of tho
Russian troops.

WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED MINISTERS
Board of Home Missions Will Prob

Pulpits o Change In
Confession of Faith.
WINONA LAKE, Ind., May ffl.-Th plan
for the erection of a central Presbyterian
cathedral at the national capital, as pro
posed by Justice John Harlan of the su
preme court of the Vnlted States, and
upon which a divided report was submitted
today by the sperlal committee having the
proposition under consideration, when
taken up tomorrow will. It appears, en
counter serious opposition. The majority
report received today recommended that
the project be referred to the Washington
presbytery through a committee to be ap
pointed by the general assembly. The
minority report opposes the erection of the
central church.
The chief reason advanced by the opposi
tion Is that they can Conceive of no par
ticular reason why which such a church
should be erected. It is expected that Jus
tice Harlan will explain his project In de
tail before the assembly tomorrow, asking
that the committee make a report to the
next general assembly.
The assembly this afternoon voted down
the proposed consolidation of the college
board and the board of education. The
plan for raising JSOfl.oOO during the coming
year to be applied to the church college
funds, submitted by the college board, was
approved.
Work for I'nemployed Ministers,
Dr. Edward Curtis of Chicago, In sub
mitting the report of the committee on va
cancles and supplies, suggested that the
surplus of applications for the more de
sirable pulpits and , the filling of vacant
pulpits, affording employment for unem
ployed ministers, should be referred to the
Hoard of Home Missions. This board, If
Dr. Curtis' plan Is adopted, will appoint a
minister whose duties will consist of look
ing after vacant pulpits and unemployed
ministers.
The overture from the Nassau presby
tery, asking the substitution of a brief
statement of faith for the Westminster
confession, was defeated. A committee of
five was appointed to consider a request
from Ohio Presbyterians that a general or
ganization Including all men's associations
be organized for the purpose of holding
national conventions. This committee will
report to the next general assembly. Among
the resolutions accepted was one condemn
ing the Mormon church and asking the
t'nlted States senate to remove Reed Smoot
from Its membership.
Philadelphia, Saratoga, Columbus, O.,
and Des Moines, la., today presented their
claims for the next general assembly.
Still Expect Battle.
The news from the front continues to
point to the imminence of a renewal of
fighting on a large scale. Ueneral Line-
vltch Is pressing the Japanese center both
on the line of the railroad and on the
Mandarin road, but whether he Is simply
feeling out Field Marshal Oyama's strength
or has assumed a general offensive Is not
yet clear. There is no doubt, however,
that Llnevlteli has made complete prepara
tion for a big battle. All the Russian sick
and wounded who were at Harbin and
places south of there have been trans
ported westward to Irkutsk and orders
have been given to clear the Intervening
hospitals. The sanitary trains have also
been ordered to the front.

FIRE RECORD.
Baptists In Final Session.
ST. LOUIS. May M.-The final session of
the American Baptist Publication society
was held today, marking also the closing
meeting of the National Baptist annivers
aries, which began one week ago. A gen
eral praise service was held prior to the
beginning of today's session.
The annual report of the finance com
mittee showed a general falling off In book
trade and a laxity In the payment of ac
counts. The report stated that the so
ciety's books showed unpaid accounts ag
gregating J98.000.
The first speaker today was H. E. Trails
of Kansas City, who- discussed, "Normal
Work In the Sunday School." E. Fagen
strom of Minneapolis, Minn., followed with
a general review of the needs In the ad
vancement and growth of Sunday school
work.
The closing address was mndo by Rev.
Dr. T. J. Vlllers of Indianapolis on "A Re
turn to the t'pward Look."
The convention then adjourned sine die.
which Dennlson contributed, every church
to which he contributed and all the roor
people he had helped, the prosecution
knew would never give such a charge any
sympathy. Therefore the case had been
brought to Iown, away front the place
where Dennlson was known.
"It would be proved that the word of (
Dennlson was as good as his bond. That
with the exception of being a gambler
there was nothing against him. That he
neither drank, chewed tobacco or con
sorted with bad women. The trouble with
Dennlson,'' he said to the Jury, "was that
he had so much Influence In polities that
certain Omaha politicians wanted to get
rid of him and that this would be shown
by reliable testimony.
"Money was tho motive that Inspired
Shercllffe to make his confession, and the
testimony would show In a circumstantial
way that the Omaha Civic Federation was
to give him Ifi.oon. The testimony would
show also that Shercllffe had tried to get
Dennlson to give him money."
Itefore concluding Mr. Cochran ex
plained to the Jury that Dennlson was not
a gambler as they understood It, probably,
but that until a few years ago he con
ducted a policy shop and that this was In
tho nature of a lottery. In concluding he
turned to Elmer Thomas and exclaimed
dramatically:
Throws Out Def).
"In that financial statement are men
tioned the names of some of Iowa's of
ficials. I defy you to bring Governor
Shaw here to testify. I defy you to sum
mon Governor Cummins. Ask him to tell
If there Is no conspiracy here why he re
fused to honor requisitions for Shercllffe,
who Is wanted In several other states?"
Before the statements of the attorneys
were made the witnesses were all sent out
of the room except Mrs. Dennlson, who re
mained with the consent of the prosecution.
Once during the talk of Mr. Cockran Sher
cllffe came In and took ft seat on the stairs
and his brother stood by the door. Elmer
Thomas took the latter out and a deputy
sheriff Informed 8hercllffe of the order of
the court.
Court will convene at 9 o'clock each
morning and adjourn at 6 p. m.
Dennlson Is represented by Cochran &
Eagan of Logan, W. J. Connell of Omaha
and J. M. Junkln of Red Oak.
Tho Civic Federation Is represented by
Elmer E. Thomas of Omaha, Walter t.
Smith of Council Bluffs and Attorney Bee
son of Red Oak, while Attorney Fallon,
county attorney of Harrison county, .In
which county the indictment was found, Is
Thomas' silent partner. Thomas conducted
the examination of the witness, while Con
nell did the cross-examining.
Refore beginning on the testimony At
torney Junkln objected because the Indict
ment was found after three years after the
crime and because on the face of It It did
not show that Dennlson had been out of
Iowa.
The testimony of Pollock was merely a
recital of tho robbery. Though he said
Dennlson was In the Sonnenberg pawnshop
when he exhibited the diamonds In ques
tion, ho could not say whether It was
Dennlson or Sonnenberg who asked him
where he was going from Omaha. It was
brought out In cross examination, how
ever, that Pollock's expenses here were
being paid by the Jewelers' Protective as
sociation, though on this occasion and the
time he was summoned a year ago before
the grand Jury, Elmer E. Thomas had noti
fied him to be present.
much to the satisfaction of the spectators.
An elaborate lunch concluded the evening.

part of the city to South Omaha, where
he said he was going to make the woman
marry him, whether she consented or not.
The abduction took place several weeks

Bronchitis and a weak heart hastened the

Mrs. Mary Ashton Llvermore was born
In Boston December 19. 1S20. and was the
daughter of Tlmo'.hy Rice. In 1M5 she was
married to Rev. D. P. Llvermore, a Unl

"Look here waiter, nonest now, don't you
dip every one of these flaked breakfast
foods out of the same box?" "Well yes,
boss, we dux, all 'cept Grape-Nuts, cause
that don't look like the others and people
know 'sactly what Grape-Nuts looks like.
But there's 'bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are all
thin rolled flakes so It don't make any dif
ference which one a man calls for we Just
take out the order from one box."
This talk led to an Investigation. Dozens
of factories sprung up about three years
ago making various kinds of breakfast
foods, seeking to take the business of the
original prepared breakfast food Grape
Nuts. These concerns after a precarious
existence, nearly all failed, leaving thous
ands of boxes of their foods in mills and
warehouses. These were In several In
stances bought up for a song by speculators
and sold out to grocers and hotels for little
or nothing. The process of working off this
old stock has been slow. One will see the
names on menues of flaked foods that went
out of buslnesb a year and a half and two
years ago. In a few cases where the aban
doned factories have been bought up there
Is an effort to resuscitate the defunct, and by
copying the style of advertising of Grape-
Nuts, seek to Influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to the
fact that all these thin flaked foods are
simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin
and dried out and packed. They are not
prepared like Grape-Nuts, In which the
thorough baking and other operations
which turn the starch part of the wheat
and barley Into sugar, occupy many hours
and resulr In a food so digestible that small
Infant thrive on it, while It also contains
the selected element of Phosphate of Pot
ash and Albumen that unite In the body
to produce the soft gray substance In Drain

Grape-Nuts, and there have been many

In opening his statement for the defense
S. H. Cochran of Logan designated the
statement of Attorney Smith more of an
argument than a statement of what he
Intended to prove. He cautioned the Jury
about being very careful hikI not be carried
away by the story of the robbery as pic
tured by Smith. He then abruptly de
manded to know why Congressman Smith
had come here to picture a crime committed
by a highwayman. That alone, he said,
should arouse the suspicions of the Jury.
Cochran himself defended Shercllffe when
he was sentenced to the penitentiary, he
said, and he knew all about the case, there
fore there would be no controversy about
the robbery.
He believed then, he said, and believed
until Shercllffe made his confession, that
the man was Innocent of the crime. So, he
said, did every gumbler who knew Sher
cllffe. Persons In high official positions, he
aid, believed SherellfTe wub Innocent, and
It was on this assumption that he was
finally paroled.
' "It would be proven," he said, "that
through a conspiracy In Omaha and else
where that Shercllffe, after years of silence,
during which tlrne he steadfastly re
fused to Implicate Dennlson, was Induced
to confess to the crime. The confession
was made long after Shercllffe had been
sent to the penitentiary, paroled and re
turned to serve out his sentence." There
fore, he told the Jury, there was no need
to become Inflamed or worked up over the
matter.
"The testimony of Shercllffe will be torn
to pieces," he said, "and the prosecution
will have nothing to corroborate."
Letter Will Be Explained.
"The letter Dennlson In supposed to have
written will be explained," he said, and
then went on to tell of the brotherhood of
gambler and how the fraternity helped
one another In time of need and trouble.
That, he said, wa the reason Dennlson
helped secure the parole for Shercllffe and
because Shercllffe had maintained that
Dennlson wa not Implicated In the robbery.
Other gamblers helpt-d also, he said, but
Dennlson having the greatest influence was
made manager for them all and conducted
the fight.
"It would have been a easy for the
prosecution to have Shercllffe swear that
he burled the diamonds In Omaha a well
a In Iowa, but that would not have suited
It purpose. Every charitable society to
The association of Company L, of the
First Nebraska regiment, United States

Miss Nellie Vander Wiele, of Lake

April 18, 1904, says: "I do wish yon
would publish this letter in the news-
Eapers, so that others suffering as I
ave may see it and be helped. I suf
fered for many months with an awful
skin disease, sores covering my ears,
neck, and cheeks. Scabs would form
and they would swell, and itch day
and night. Then they wonld break
open and blood and matter run out.
I had tried many different remedies,
but none of them did me any good.
I was growing worse when I tried
the Cuticura Remedies. The first
application helped me, and when I
had used two cakes of Cuticura Soap,
three boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and
three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, I
was completely cured,"
