"A fifth of the army before Tort Arthur
Is a small estimate of the enemy's looses
Up to date. If the storming operation,
which , we understand Is now progressing,
falls to give them a foothold In the ring of
Inner defenses the Japanese will be com
pelled by sheer exhaustion to stop and re
cuperate, while? awaiting additional rein
forcements, and I, personally, together
with some of my colleagues, believe they
rlll abandon the Idoa of a general assault
and settle down to regular siege operations.
Starving out the garrison la less brilliant,
but It Is quite as effective a way of reduc
ing a fortress. The Japanese purpose In
rushing matters has doubtless been to re
lease a section of the southern army and
enable It to co-operate with the armies In
Manchuria."
Says Admiral Should Not Sail.
The naval critic of the Vledomosll boldly
express? the opinion that the Port Arthur
squadron would commit an act of folly If
It went out now. He adds:
"Although a portion of Admiral Ouktoma
ky's ships ate In fighting trim, Including
at least tho Persvelt, Poltava. Sebastopol
and Pallada. it would be futile to attempt'
to break through Admiral Togo's strong
lines. The squadron would be lost without
profit to Port Arthur. Ouktomsky would
do better to dismantle Ms guns and send
the men ashore. This would reinforce Gen
eral Stoessel to the extent of nearly seven
heavy and 400 light guns and 6. (KM) men.
Then, if the worst comes, the ships could
be sunk." ,
A seml-offlojal Journal, while paying a
tribute to the heroic defenders of Port Ar
thur, doe not withhold praise for the extraordinary-valor
of tha Japanese besiegers.
It saysi , ,, .
'Neither a rain of cannon shots, walls of
bayonets nor earth strewn with putrlfylng
corpses can arrest their stubborn assaults."
There are a number of veiled Intimations
In both the newspaper dispatches from Llao
Yang and at headquarters here that Gen
eral Kouropatkln Is preparing a diversion
against General Kurokl, to prevent the dis
patch of reinforcements to aid the attack
ers of Port Arthur.
The Novoe Vremya considers that the
question- 9f China's attitude is serious and
contends .the Chinese quite Incapablo , of
preserving neutrality, adding:
"How otherwise could Japanese warships
enter Chinese porta at will? The Idea that
the United States Is going to preserve the
neutrality of China la an Illusion. The
American' torpedo boat destroyer Chaun
eey's pursuit of the Japanese torpedo boat,
turns out to have been a mereolncldenc."
Naval Court Blastae-a Russian.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 13 The finding of the
naval court of Inquiry m the case of the
RrltlBh steamer Hlpsnng was delivered this
morning. The Hlpsang was torpedoed and
sunk July V, while passing Pigeon bay.
The findings of the court are as follows:
"A , Russian toppedo-t5at destroyer, now
Identified the. RatstoYopuy, came. up at
daylight with the Htpsang, whose lights
were burning brightly e,nd which had the
British nag flying. Thtf destroyer fired
shells, killing and maiming passengers. The
Hlpamig stopped directly, but the Russian
vessel fired a torpedo., sinking it. There
wus no contraband abnaitd It nor any Japa
nese, 'its enptaln was-experienced and he
acted' perfectly correct. The court desires
to draw the attention of the- Hoard of

LONDON, Aug. 23.-3:26 p. m. The
Evening News this afternoon published a
dispatch from Che Foo, under today's
date, announcing that the Japanese cap
tured "Chair fort" of the Port Arthur

OLDFIELD BREAKS RECORDS
Champion Autoist Smashes Two World's
Time in Omaha Meet.
SPRAGUE STREET RACES BIG SUCCESS
Green Dragon C'nts Mile Reeord on
llalf-Mlle Track from 1 il to
liin 3-S Fredrlckson
Bays Machine.
With his "Green Drngon" Harney Old
field broke two world's records at the
Omaha auto rHce meet at Sprague street
driving park yesterday afternoon. He cut
the mile record on a half-mile track from
1:16, made by himself, to 1:15H and then
cut that to 1:13.
The records stand because the meeting
Inaugurated yesterday and which will con
tinue today was authorized by the Ameri
can Automobile association. The track Is
one foot and one-half over a full half-mile
measured three feet from the pole and tho
auto in making the record was scarcely
ever within that distance of the Inside of
the track.
Oldfleld won one he.it of the professional
race against Alonzo Webb and was de
feated in the second.
Tho time of the first race from standing
start was:
Oldfleld. Webb
One mile 1:27 1:26
two miles 2:4:!' 2:43
Three miles 4:1 4:02
Four miles 6:19 6:1HS
Five niik-s 6:34 6:37vB
It was in the last mile of this race th.it
the "Green Dragon" and Its driver turned
the courso faster than It has ever been
done before. In the second race between
the two famous drivers Webb had Just a
little the better of the start and seemed
to be determined to win if it was possible.
Barney Oldlleld was In the race every sec
ond. Both drivers were reckless and the
manner In which they went uround the
turns thrilled the assembled thousands.
Webb won the race by two seconds, but the
pace that Oldlleld set in the last half-mile
was almost enough to close the gap.
The time In this race was:
Webb. Oldfleld.
One mile 1:27V 1:30
Two miles 2:47' 2:46
Three miles 4:o6 4:03V4
Four miles 5:24 6:2u
Five miles 6:il 6:43'
Webb's fastest mile, 1:17.
Stays Within All Itecordn.
It was in the trial for records that Old
fleld after making the circuit "got the
word" and went away like a shot, leaving
a great trail of dust after him. He cov
ered the first half-mile In the record time
of 36V4 seconds and coming down like the
wind finished In the new record time of
2:13. Just after making this phenomenal
spurt of speed and within ten cur lengths
of the Judges' stand Oldtield'a machine
"picked u a nail" and onu of the tires
went wrong, but fortunately no serious
damage resulted.
Owing to the narrowness of the track the
two flyers In their race started in the first
heat with Oldfleld at the wire and Webb
at the quarter, reversing positions In the
second heat. They tried the course for
Blde-by-side racing, but found it too dan.
gerous and the other method was decided
upon.
The meeting was a great success, over
3,000 people being present. The infield was
well filled with autos and carriages and
tho greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
program waB carried out with the excep
tion of the "Wlnton" and the "Buckboard"
races, the former being postponed until to
day, while the latter was called off.
, After Oldlleld had reduced the record the
first time, H. E. Frederlcksun became the
owner of the "Green Dragon," but he will
not take possession of the machine until
February 1. In the meantime Oldlleld will
have a new racor, two of them, in fact.
Mr. Frederlckson would not say Just what
he paid for the big 120-horse-power racer.
Fred Winchester and Webb Jay. the
much-advertised racers, did not put In an
appearance and this, after their agreement
with the committee having charge of the
meeting, Is taken by many as an Indication
of their unwillingness to meet either Old
fleld or Webb. The two last named drivers
never have met on the track before, and
as each one has won one heat, the final
meeting today Is sure to result in a fight
all the way.
Here Come the Amateurs.
The first of the events between local am
ateurs was a two-mile race for one-cylinder
cars under 1,000 pounds weight. The en
tries were George Deltrich, with a Pope
Tribune, Frank Decker with an OldB and
Clark Powell with a Cadillac. The Pope
Tribune ran away with the race in short
order and had It as good as corralled when
It was called out because of not tendering
regular entry. The race then settled down
to a walkaway for the Cadillac, the two
miles being turned In 3:59. At no time
was there the slightest doubt regarding
the winner.
Second event, three-mile race, for cars
under 2,000 pounds costing less than $2,000:
H. E. Frederlckson, with a Franklin, and
Arthur Gardner with a Rambler. This wus
one of the most interesting and exciting of
the day's races. The lead was quickly
taken by the Rambler, but Frederlckson
hung on with tho Franklin and timo after
time they passed the grandstand Bcarcely
a length apart, Frederlckson making every
effort to get the lead, but the Rambler al
ways would pull away In the first eighth
of a mile and come back to the Franklin
In the homestretch. Amid great excite
ment the Franklin finally got to the front
on the last lap and finished three lengths
to the good. Time: 4:50.
The first heat of the oldfleld-Webb race
followed and the field was dust-covered.
This the committee promised to avoid to
day and the track will be worked and
sprinkled this noon, making it even faster
than It was yesterday.
Three-Mile Derby,
The three-mile Derby brought Frederick
son driving Updikes' Franklin, Alonzo
Webb with a Pope-Toledo, Frank Decker
with a White steamer and Ritchie with
Derlght's Thomas. Webb took the race
In hand Immediately and won hands down
In 4:12, actually passing the Thomas Just
before completing the three miles.
The Interest in the race centered entirely
In the fight between Frederlckson and
Decker with the White steamer. It was
nip and tuck for a time and then the
steamer met with some trouble, slowed
down and allowed the Franklin to get far
In the lead, but the steamer, a prime fa
vorite with the grandrttand, came ahead
again strong and patscd Frederlckson as
If he were standing still, winning the fight.
The Pope-Toledo driven by Webb is owned
In Omaha and It made the pace like a
scared rabbit.
L. L, Whitman, the long distance trav
eler who Is after records from 'Frisco to
New York and who is sixteen days ahead
of time, drove on the track with his Frank
lin and after a hearty greeting started off
on his way across Iowa.
The Australian pursuit race was not a
thorough success In the early stage?, the
task set for the Cadillac, driven by Decker,
of ciutchlng the Olds, driven by Ritchie,
after the former had be-n given a start of
on '-fourth mile being decidedly hard. The
distance gradually was reduced until tha
fight became very exciting, and on tbt
sixth mile the Cadillac raught and pasted
the Olds, after having been within touching
distance time and time again, when the
Olds would sneak away. The time for the
six miles was 15:09.
The last event of the day was a five-mile
handicap. The Poe-Toledo, driven by
Webb, was given scratch, but withdrew on
account of a bursted tire. The White
steamer was given one-fourth mile handi
cap. Franklin three-eighths of a mile and
the Olds a full mile handicap. It was a
five-mile race and wa. won by a close
margin by the Olds, Franklin second and
White steamer third.
The Judges of the meeting were Dr. Gil
more. D. C. Bradford and Clark Colt;
timers. H. W. Dunn, J. F. Byrne and F.
J. Campbell. Clinton Itriggs was referee,
E. 1 Potter starter and Gould Dletz clerk

DEPUTY SIIERIFF ARRESTED
One Special Officer Taken Up on Charge
of Assault.
OPENING WEDGE TO SHEELY RIOT INQUIRY
General Complaint Is Made that
Deputies Are Insnlei-t and Many
of Them Objectionable
Characters.
A warrant was Issued from police court
this morning for the arrest of Louis P.
Slpes, a deputy sheriff employed to look
out for the strikers, on complaint of
Slgmund Sawsckl, who alleged that Slpes
assaulted him last Saturday afternoon.
When this case Is heard the cause of the
attack on the strikers by the deputy
sheriffs Monday afternoon probably will
come out.
This story Is told by Sawsckl to the
police:
"The assault on me was unprovoked.
Slpes came to my house Saturday morning
for water and he was ordered out of the
yard by Mrs. Sawsckl, who was 111. Slpes
left the yard and a short time later 1
started to cross the tracks to reach home.
I was stopped by Slpes, who told me I
could not cross the tracks. I kept going
and was struck on the head and knocked
senseless by the deputy."
Object to Deputies' Conduct.
The residents of the neighborhood at
Bheelytown where the dcsputles are sta
tioned object to the deputies coming Into
their homes for water, and the deputies in
sist on going Just the same. They object
also to the class of men employed by the
county and to the presence of colored
deputies. And It was told the police that
the more the residents objected the more
overbearing were the deputies.
The six strikers arrested Monday were
taken into court this morning, but as no
Interpreter was prei ent and none of them
could understand English readily, the case
went over until Wednesday. Tho men
were charged with disturbing the peace by
using loud and profane language. At first
a complaint was filed against them charg
ing vagrancy, but as It was patent that
all of them were working men. Judge
Berka refused to countenance any such
complaint.
Lato in the afternoon the men were re
leased under $100 bonds each for their ap
pearance this morning. The bonds were
signed by Joseph Armoitzs and Joseph
Sempek.
Two deputies, Duncan and Karley, were
present to prosecute. The strikers arrested
are nothing more than boys, several of
them appearing to be not over 18 or 19
years old, the oldest apparently about 23.
HearlnK of Vail and Others.
The hearing of the cases against Vice
President Stephen Vail of the amalgamated
trades now out on strike nt South Omaha
and 172 other strikers will begin before
Judge Munger In the United States circuit
court Wednesday morning. The defendants
are cited to appear and show cause why
they should not be punished for contempt
of court In alleged wilful violation of the
Injunction order of the court Issued July 20,
Hons Excites Authorities.
After a quiet day in packing house strike
circles there was a little, excitement when
the dummy train pulled out for Omaha last
nlgjit. As on previous nights, the train
was Jeered by men, women and children
along the line, but aside from the throw
Ing of a few stones there was no disturb
ance of noto. In some way the report be
came circulated that a big crowd had gath
ered under the L street viaduct and pro
posed stoning the train as it passed. Sher
iff Power held the train at Swift's while he
notified police headquarters and sent some
deputies to the locality. The report proved
to be a hoax, as less than twenty men were
gathered under the viaduct Instead of 200
as had been reported. On the way back
from the L street viaduct the police were
called upon to make three arersts. Harry
Toft, Stephen Howard and George Jensen
were arrested for throwing stones at tha
patrol wagon. These men are held at the
city Jail temporarily, but are charged to
the sheriff and will be taken to the county
Jail today.
Dissatisfied with King,
Nearly all of the afternoon was taken up
In police court nlth the trial off Edward
Miskell, a striker who waa arersted by
Officer Jacob Small on the evening of Aug
ust 18 at Thirty-ninth and Q streets. Mis
kell was charged with being drunk and
disorderly and resisting an officer. ThlB
case attracted a great deal of attention and
the court room was crowded with strikers.
Eight witnesses gave their testimony about
the affair and then Police Judge King dis
charged Miskell, saying that sufficient evi
dence had not been produced to warrant
him In holding the defendant.
After the decision bad been announced
and the court room cleared, Chief Brlgge,
Captain Shields i.nd other officers declared
that they might Just as well shut up shop
and remain home until after the strike, as
so far it had been Impossible to secure a
conviction In police court. Chief Brlggs
said: "We are given no protection at all
by the police Judge, but I guess we can get
along without him as after this arrebts
will be charged to the sheriff and turned
over to the county Judge."
llodglns In Dangerous Condition.
C. W. Hodgins is still In a dangerous
condition at the South Omaha hospital.
During the afternoon he had a couple of
rational moments and managed to tell the
nurses the address of his wife, who is now !
stopping In Lincoln. The hospital authori
ties have notified Mrs. Hodglns and she is
expected here today. The physicians at
tending Hodglns declare that his condition
Is far from being favorable, but unless he
received internal Injuries he Is expected to
recover.
Additional men were received at all of
the packing plants Tuesday. The new ar
rivals are mostly whites from the east, but
thirty men who entered the Omaha plant
are Japanese from Colorado smelters.
Manager Urquhart, of the Omaha company,
says that If the Japs are as good workers
as he expects they will be he proposes se
curing more. The other peckers have not
taken up the Japanese idea yet, but arc
watching the experiment of Manager Urqu
hart with considerable Interest.
A weeding out of the undesirable help
still goes on at the packing houses. Men
are being discharged every day, and some
quit work. Yesterday's new arrivals more
thsn made up for the men turned out,
so that the houses stopped work last night
with more men than they had at the end
of the week.
At Labor Headquarters.
There was no news of particular Im
portance at labor headquarters Tuesday.
The union men who gathered at the of
fices of the leaders all rppeared hopeful
and declared that there Is not the slight
est sign of a break In the ranks.
James Potash, who was shot on Monduy
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff McGuIre, Is
still at the, hosplul. He Is getting along
nicely. Potash declares that he was hit
twice with bullets, hut the attending phy
sicians have failed to find but one mark,
The bullet, w hich entered Potash's hip, was
removed without any difficulty. The shoot
ing of Potash has caused quite a feeling
against the deputy sheriffs In Brown park
and the ststement Is now made by well
known Bohemians that there would not
have been any Ucwble had It not bea ,
for the deputies, who were overbearing In
their demeanor.
Psckrrs purchased 1.01S head of cattle.
7.0R3 head of hogs and 2.550 head of sheep
on this market yesterday. Speculators and
outside packers bought 2,473 head of hogs.

FORT RII.F.Y. Kan.. Aug. 23. (Specl.it
Telegram.) The second day's filing In the
national match ended at 6 o'clock tonight
with the New York state team 72 points
In the lead, after a most strenuous day
work. Firing began at the S i -rd range
at about 7:30 a. m. Here the huge telescope,
used by the team from the Empire stale
begpn to tell on the scores of Its team. It
wa used for the locating of shot holes In
the target by an authorized man with tho
team, who Is called A spotter.
The day began with only n slight snd
steady breeze, which did not appear tu
Worry the marksmen, but toward noon the
wind became a blasty, fitful, fourteen to
sixteen-mile zephyr and the men who were
firing certainly had to be careful to esti
mate their windage before each shot In
ordT to stty In the target. The range
nnemoiniter displayed the fourteen-mile
signal several times during the afternoon,
but the breeze came In gusts that would
carry tho projectiles far out of their course
If the man liilnd the gun happened to pull
the trigger at the wrong Instant.
This afternoon at l.nno yards the condi
tions were. If possible, worse. Every team
captain was hustling to keep up his team
average to 30 points out of the possible .V.
Here again the strong seeing telescopes of
New York and New Jersey more than re
paid their purchase price.
Tho army Infantry team did really excel
lent shooting all day, while the navy and
marines more than held their own.
Today's firing consisted of two scores at
800 and LOW) yards, slow fire. This gave
each competitor a iMisslble 100 points, or
I, 200 points for each team for the day. The
time allowance that was saved on the first
day's shooting was used today by all the
teams. The standing tonight Is as follows:
