Monday.
NEW YORK, April 28 After a day of
Interesting; developments, both the prose
cution and the defense rced the ease of
Js'an Patterson, the fornitr actress, In
dicted for the alleged murder of Caesar
Young, the wealthy bookmaker, almost a
year ago. ' '
The prosecution finished Its case Just be
fore the adjournment of the court, and
later Attorney O'Reilly of counsel for Miss
Patterson notified the prosecution that his
side would submit no defense and would
rest on the contention that the state had
fallod to make any case against the de
fendant. This plan had been under con
sideration for some days, but waa only
decided upon at a conference today be
tween i the counsel for the defense and
Nan- Patterson and her aged father. The
decision means the speedy conclusion of
the young woman's third trial for the sen
sational tragedy on West Broadway.
Arguments Begin Monday.
When the case Is called Monday, to
which dato the trial was adjourned to
day, Assistant District Attorney Rand will
Immediately begin the summing up of the
case of the state. Besides this, the suc
cession of events which marked today's
proceedings Included the court's denial of
a motlonto dismiss the Indictment; the
testimony of the prisoner's sitter, Mrs. J.
Morgan Smith in which she made some
interesting statements, but stood on her
right to refuse to answer questions on
the ground that the answers might In
criminate; Mr. Rand's promlso to quash
the Indictments against Mrs. Smith; if she
would answer his questions; the protest of
trio counsel of the defense to the court
that Mr. . Rand's merciless method of
questioning was "badgering the witness"
and the rejection again by the court of
the much-quoted letter of Mrs. Smith to
Young bespeaking fear as to the conse
quences If Young did not see her sister.
. . . r
Contention of, the Defense.
The contention of the defense In moving
to take the case from the Jury and to dis
miss the Indictment was that the con
spiracy accusation charge had been prac
tically abandoned; that the prosecution
had failed to prove that J. Morgan Smith
bought the -evolver which caused Young's
death; that the case was circumstantial,
and the tostlmony of Drs. O'Hanlon, Rlg
glns and Phelps Indicated suicide rather
than murder, l'he prosecution replied that
It had proved the fact of the crime; that
the case should go to the Jury on the
character of the wound that could hot
have been self-inflicted; had proved Smith
was In Pawnbroker Stern's shop the day
the revolver was bought, and that the
prosecution had not expected a pawn
broker to make identifications. The court
Instructed the Jury that In his decision the
ruling on law points should not be to the
prejudice of the defendant.
Mrs, Smith Testlflen.
Mrs. J. Morgan Smith identified a ring
and bracelet as her property, pawned by
ber husband bi Pawnbroker Stern's store.
Mr. Rand's effort to make her admit that
they were pledged June S failed. Mr. Rand
tried to bring out that she and her hus
band were In New York on June 8 last,
when the' prosecution was searching for
them, but the witness declined to answer
on the ground that it might incriminate
or degrade her. Mr. Rand repeated his
promise to quash the Indictment it she
would answer questions. The witness said
several times she would "stick" to her
sister. Mrs. Smith denied that Lcsllo Cog
gins told her that the best thing Nan
could do was to marry Matthew Trimble
of Washington.
Referring to the note sent by the wit
ness to Young that unless he saw Nan
she could not answer for the consequences,
the witness said that Miss Patterson's
emotions at that time were caused by Cog
glna' misrepresenting Young's marriage in
tentions toward her. She said Nan re-
fused to believe the story told by Cogglns
and was disappointed at the postponement
of tier marriage to Young.
Letter Again Excluded.
The witness said, however, that her sis
ter bad said nothing of her "future In
tentions," nor what she wbuld do and was
not responsible for the much-quoted let
ter. The witness said the letter repre
sented her own state of mind, but did not
answer whether It represented the de
fendant's. The court sgaln today refused
to admit in evidence this intercepted let
ter. Mr. Rand asked numerous questions
tending to show the Smiths were fleeing
from Stern during their disappearance
from New York, but the witness declined
to answer that they left any cities on his
account, though she admitted she. had
heard he was In one of the cities which
they left suddenly. . . .
A story to the effect that Mtas Patter
son and her sister quarreled In the Tombs
last night in view of the testimony given
by Mrs. Smith, was denied by their father,
John Randolph Pstterson, today. In doing
so, he said:
"I am thankful to say that my daugh
ters are devoted sisters, and even if they
were not there would be no occasion for
them to quarrel, now, when there is much
reason for them to help each other. I
feel free to say that either would be glad
to sacrifice anything for the other."

pressed the hope that a continuance of the
struggle would not affect the national sen
timent. Nothing, he added, should shake
their resolution to continue the war. He
criticised the national diplomacy, express
ing the opinion that efficient and timely
dlplomatio skill would have prevented the
Russian squadron from coming to the far
east. The count also expressed the belief
that the occasion for great battles had
disappeared. It was possible to support the
army throughout the remainder of the war
with the $77,600,000 derived from war taxes
and the speaker urged a continuance of
national economy and frugality. Count
Okuma ascribed the success of Japan to a
constitutional government and compulsory
education. After the national war national
patriotism should direct political improve
ment in education, morals, literature-and
all that pertains to enlightenment and
civilization.

GCNSHU PASS, April JS.-General Llne
vltch granted an interview- to the Asso
ciated Press at his headquarters here to
day, in the course of which he expressed
himself as highly satisfied with the present
condition of the Russian army and its
readiness to assume the offensive. He
manifested emphatic regret for the re
treat from Mukden. The new commander-in-chief
believes that the peril to the army
at that Juncture was overestimated and
that the day was far from being lost when
the retreat was ordered. His eyes gleamed
with energy and, emphasising his words
on the camp table before him, General
Llnevltch exclaimed: "I would certainly
not have retreated. I realize that it Is
now easy to pass Judgment, but neverthe
less, I repeat I would not have retreated.
persuaded Kouropatkln to stand at Tie
Pass and we halted there for a time. We
could have remained, but on account of
certain administrative factors he consid
ered It Inexpedient and the retreat was
continued.
Story of Issues Exaggerated.
"The Japanese did not press us and could
not do so, as their condition wns quite as
bad as ours. As for that unfortunate re
tirement Itself, any observer can convince
himself that Its significance, and espe
cially Its effects upon the army has been
disastrous, but greatly exaggerated by the
Japanese and the foreign press. This m-as
In no sense a complete rout, proof of which
was evident in the fact that in less than a
month the two armies which were thrown
into confusion were fully collected and
fully organized. The first army did not
require this, having retired In order."
General Llnevltch attributes the greater
success of the first army during the re
treat to the relatively more advantageous
position in which it was located. He will
claim that there was heavy losses during
the retirement, and especially to the wagon
train, but he declared that this also was
exaggerated. Touching the breaking
through of the Japanese at Hun river on
March 9, he said he did .not nor does now
attach any significance to it beyond that the
force was greater than two companies of
sdouts or small bodies of cavalry, and he
believes that the Japanese artillery waa in
action east of the Great Mandarin road.
General Llnevltch also discussed the CJrlp-
penberg Incident, taking the part of Kouro
patkln, and expressed good will toward
the press In the present war.
After an expression of regret that so
much harm had been done before he was
given command, a cloud of sorrow dark
ened the rugged, energetic face of the
venerable general and he twice repeated:
"Yes, It Is a sad Inheritance."
The correspondent lunched with the stuff,
while General Llnevltch warned his officers
against a too wide extension or scattering
of forces. He favored rather concentra
tion, even of cavalry.
Rusxlnna Renin Advance.
In the last fortnight the Russian army
on the right, left and center has advanced
beyond the Slplnghal position, and the Rus
sian vanguard posts ore now in the form
of an Inverted crescent, the left horn of
which Is considerably In the rear of Chang
tufu, which the Jnpanesn hold, and which
is strongly fortified. The Japanese are
now exerting a pressure against an ad
vance. On account of the nature of the
country and the opposing armies, It Is Im
possible to effect reconnaisanees by small
bodies of scouts, and work of this nature
must be done by considerable detachments,
often including all tbree arms of the serv
ice, being practically reconnalsances In
force. These reconnalsances do not show
at the present moment a Japanese turning
movement In the direction of Klrln;
but it Is impossible to say what may be
taking place along the eastward road from
Corea and the Yalu territory. The country
there, however, Is exceedingly mountainous
and difficult for military operations; and
It Is thought that the roads are impassable
for troops with artillery trains.
The Japanese are actively fortifying
around Kalyuan, and the line of Japaneso
defenses appears to be approximately In
the vicinity of the villages of Shahedzl and
Syasouske and the valley of Kaokhe.

SANAA TAKEN BY INSURGENTS
Arabian Rebels Are Now Preparing; to
Besiege Town of Manakha.
HODEIDA, Yemen Province. Arabia,
Wednesday, April 26. Sanaa, the capital
city of Yemen province, capitulated to the
insurgents during the night of April 20.
The revolutionists nre now proceeding to
besiege Manakha. The latter has a gar
rison of 6,000 men, but the troops are mu
tinous. Jews who left Sanaa before the surren
der, and who have arrived at Hodeida, say
the town was subjected to constant night
attacks, the garrison was hard pressed and
provisions were exhausted. The scene of
the fight of March $0, southward of Sanaa,
when the Syrian reserves went to the relief
of Sanaa and were crushlngly defeated,
was strewn with dead soldiers and animals.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 28. Advices
received here from Hodeida says the revo
lutionists have surrounded the town of
Manakha, an important strategical position
between Hodeida and Sanaa. Disturbances
have broken out among the Turkish troops
at Medina because the only food the men
received for four days consisted of biscuits.
A caravan of Egyptian pilgrims returning
from Mecca was attacked recently by nu
merous bands of Arabs near Yambo, Ara

Egyptian soldiers escorting the pilgrims

Is delivered to the Traction company by
coal companies whose men are now on
strike. It Is not probable, however, that
any spread of the Mrike will be made -in
any direction outside of the Teamsters'
union until after Sunday, when the or
ganizations to which appenls have been
made by the teamsters will hold meetings.
Three Seriously Injured.
Three persons were Beriously Injured
during the street fighting today. They are:
H. R. Brown, colored, nonunion team
ster, beaten Into unconsciousness.
Samuel Bradshaw, colored, nonunion
teamster, struck on the head with a piece
of iron and knocked unconscious.
Bud Moore, colored boy sitting on one
of the wagons of Field & Co., struck
on the right arm with a brick. The arm
waa broken Just above the wrist.
Steady progress has been reported by the
Emuloyers' Teaming association in secur
ing men to take the places of the strikers
and it is predicted by the employers that
before many days they will have their
business back to a normal basis.
The general agents of the seven express
companies involved In the strike held a
meeting today and decided to pool their
issues on the delivery of goods. Twenty
wagons of the Adams Express company
made several trips around the down town
section in caravans of from three to five
wagons each and were not molested In any
way. Several men were arrested for shout
ing and cursing at the drivers, bat no di
rect violence was offered.
Troops May Move Money Shipments.
The express companies have had the tnsk
in the past of transferring money from
the Pennsylvania depot and from the Bal
timore & Ohio depot to the sub-treasury In
the Rand, McNnlly building. Fearing that
the express wagons might be attacked or
that the companies would be unable to ful
fill their contracts regarding the transfer
of money, the local treasury officials
notified the acting secretary of, the trens
ury In Washington. Through him the war
department was consulted and orders given
providing for the changed conditions. The
secretary- of war wired Colonel Duggan,
now commanding the Department of the
Lakes, to use army wagons and a soldier
guard Jf the express wagons and their
usual guards cannot be used.
I was Instructed to arrange for the
transfer of the money," said Colonel Dug
gan. "These Instructions do not mean
that I am to order troops Into Chicago and
with , them guard express wagons. If the
express companies cannot operate their
wagons I have instructions to call on the
quartermaster at Fort Sherldnn for the
necessary supplies. This means to call
for wagons and teams and the customary
guards necessary to protect such wagons.
In the office of the clerk of the United
States circuit court tonight it was said
that the express companies would prob

The hay, grain and feed union drivers
held a meeting tonight and decided to go
on strike If any of their members were
ordered to make deliveries to any of the
firms Involved in the present trouble.
The first spread of the strike Into th
building trades occurred tonight when 300
carpenters, plumbers and electrical workers
employed in work connected with the con
nectlon of the two additional stories on
the store building of the Fair walked out
iney aeciarea that they were asked to
work with nonunion men. All of the unions
to which the strikers belonged will be
asked to support the strike.
Mayor Dunne, who has been In Sprlng-
neia. 111., for the last three days, re
turned to the city tonight. One of his
first acts waa to hold an extended con
fcrence with Sheriff Barrett. Both men
denied that tholr talk had any reference
to the strike.
Aiier leaving tne sheriff, the mayor
called in Chief of Police O'Nell and was
closeted with, him for an hour. Afterward
tne mayor said:

O'Nell assures mo that he has everything

The Union Traction company, from which
the strikers have threatened to shut off

If In his Judgment, such an act would not
be interference sufficient to call out the
federal troops. "Every assistance will be
given the federal forces to serve and en
force their writs, and unless a tremendous
mob should block the way of the United

be able to clear a way for him, there will
be no necessity for calling for troops.

mayor.
Two Men Shot.
Two men were Bhot and seriously In
jured tonight by Charles King, a non

pany. King waa on a Blue Island avenue
car when a crowd of strikers who had
followed him boarded the car and attacked
him. King drew a revolver and emptied
it at his assailants. He shot none of the

A Pretty New York Qlrl
Finds Pe-ru-na Invaluable.
Miss Marjorle Hampton, 2C16 Third
Ave., New York City, writes:
"Peruna Is a fine medicine to take
any season of the year.
"Taken In the Spring, It tones up
the system and acts as a tonic,
strengthening me more than a vaca
tion. "In the Fall and Winter I have
found that it cures colds and catarrh,
acting as a gentle stimulant on the 1
system.
"In fact, . I consider It a whole
medicine chest."
At first thought, one might conclude that
the society woman Is a woman of leisure,
that she has nothing to do but attend
social functions, make and receive calls,
and so on.
Those who know realize that hers is a
busy life.
There are many reasons why society
women breaks down, many reasons why
their nervous systems fall, many reasons
why they have systemic or pelvic catarrh.
Indeed, they are especially liable to these
ailments.
First, the society woman rarely gets any
sleep during the forepart of the night. It
Is a fact well known to scientists that one
hour of sleep before midnight Is worth
two hours of sleep In the morning.
Second, she rises late and misses all the
Invigorating effects of the morning air and
outdoor exercise.
Third, her late suppers, consisting of a
variety of delicacies, disturb her digestion
to the extent that fche does not enjoy her
late breakfast. ,
Fourth, to keep up propor appearances
requires constant attention to every detail
of her toilet with a vigilance that knows
no rest.
Fifth, her frequent attendance upon socHl
events, where crowded rooms and indl
gestable food are unavoidable, gradually
undermines her constitution.
Sixth, the Inadequate protection from
changes In temperatures afforded by fash
ionable evening attire, together with tight
lacing, heavy skirts hanging from the hips
and high heeled shoes tell sooner or later
upon her nervous vitality.

After Taklnz 3 Bottles of Pe-ru-na.
Miss Jessie Komer, 207 B St., N. E.,
Washington, D. C, writes:
"After taking three bottles of your
remedy for catarrh, Peruna, I find
myself In first-class condition, much
improved In health and spirits.
"I can now congratulate you on
having the best medicine in the market
for that disease."

She knows, by experience, that she cannot
keep her strength if she allows ratarrh to
sap her vitality.
Many of these women have bce-n dis

and have at last discovered that Peruna,
is the only reliable and permanent cure.
The health of society women Is con

No wonder they require the protection Of

Various causes combine to make the life
of the society woman such an one thst she

The one thing which she dreads more
tha.i any other is catarrh. She is exposed
to catarrh, not of the head, throat and
lungs alone, but also of the abdominal and
pelvic organs.

"I have been afflicted since child
hood with a most unpleasant catarrh

"Nothing I did seemed to cure me

"While visiting a friend I learned
the real value of Peruna.
"I had often heard It praised, but
never paid serious attention to It.
"My friend, however, had been cured
of catarrh by Peruna and I decided
to use It faithfully and await results.
"I nm glad to sny that my greatest

Mrs. Emma Jeffers, with her two daugh

a lower altitude, and she went to Los
Angeles, Cal., leaving the children with
the father. She remained in that city un
til a few weeks ago. During her absence
her husband moved with the children to
Auburn, and about six months ago he
applied for a divot ce, alleging that she
had been accompanied to Los Angeles by
a man named McCrea, and asking for a
decree on statutory grounds. The divorce
was granted and the custody of the chil
dren was given to the father. Jeffers works
as a funn hand near Auburn. When Mrs.
Jeffers . heard that the divorce had been
granted she came least to Auburn and
managed to secure employment as a do
mestic with the sheriff of Nemaha county.
She admits doing this for the purpose of
getting a chance of seourlng possession of
the two girls. She secured the girls yes
terday and, quietly she thought, she
Started on her return to Los Angeles. But
her former husband, learning what she
had done, traced her to Omaha and got
out a warrant for her arrest.
Mrs. Jeffers does not seem to be much
alarmed over the situation. She says that
lawyers whose advice she sought told her
that she could get legal possession of the
children, but they asked so much money
for their work that she was unable to take
the case into court. She says she has not
had an opportunity of denying In court
the charges or her former husband, as
the proceedings in divorce were held while
she was In Los Angeles.

MISSOURI PEOPLE INDICTED
Two Kansas City Men and a Woman
Accused of Inlawfolly Se
curing Money,
ST. LOUIS. April 28.-The April grand
Jury made a partial report today, returning
indictments against three Kansas City per
sons on the charges of obtaining goods
under false pretenses. The Indictments
are against Lawrence M. Jones, a business
man of Kansas City, Mrs. Jennie Schott
and Monroe M. Fitzgerald, un'd were re
turned on complaint of David Lanzner,
who conducts a furniture storo here.
He churged that he hud traded his stock,
valued at flO.OuO, to the defendants for cer
tain Kansis City real estate and other
property and when he took possession, he
alleged, he found the property was not
worth the value represented. The statute
of limitations would have precluded prose-
cuilou after tomorrow.
He Praises Attitude of Republicans
Toward Regulation of Rail
way and Other
Monopolies.
ST. JOSEPH. April 28.-Wllllam J. Bryan
was the guest of honor and Congressman
Champ Clark was toastmaster at the Mon
roe day banquet here tonight. Mr. Bryan's
subject was "Back to the People."
He said in part:
"Back to the Peonle" Is the nhriaa thst
best describes the tendency which is man
ifesting Itself In the natinn And In tmt,;t
of the states. For a period of years the
tendency was toward corporate domina
tion and the voice of the people grew
weaker In comparison with the Influence
of Monroe The tide has changed and we
have evidence everywhere on the part of
the masses to assert themselves In the
management of parties and In the conduct
of the government. Take, for Instance,
the agitation In the republican party In fa
vor or primary law. LjU'oiiette maae
the basis of his fight in Wisconsin.
Take another Illustration. In manv of
the states an antitrust movement la
clearly discernible, with Kansas leading
the way. A republican legislature In tnat
slate has defied the most notorious of
our monono les. the Standard OH company.
and a republican legislature with the aid
of a republican governor has enacted a
number of measures Intended to put the
people In control of their own affairs.
The republican legislature of Kansas has
frone no far as to provide for the estab
iBhment of a state oil refinery, a thing
which a few years ago would have been
denounced as socialistic had It been sug
gested by the democrats or populists.
Regulation of Railroads.
While the democrats declared in favor
of railroad legislation, the Issue was not
made prominent In the campaign una tne
republicans did not discuss it at all. But
alter the election the president called
attention to the need of a law vesting
In pubiio officials the power to determine
ana nrescribe railroad rates. His recom
mendation at once revealed a much stronger
sentiment in favor of this proposition than
the casual olmerver would have suspected.
Encouraged by the president's attitude a
number of republicans took up the flghv
and the democrats, of course, threw their
strength with them. . The railroads at first
tried to defeat the movement by pre
paring an ineffective law, but the senti
ment was too strong to be thus turned
aside and the house paused a bill which,
while It did not go fur enough, gave prom
ise of relief.
This tendency to restore to the people
their lost rights and to put them In pos.
session of their own affairs la not going
to stop with the trust question. It will
extend to every Issue.
It Is forty years since Lincoln declared
In one of his messages that labor was
prior to and more Important tlfan capital,
a principle which has so often been Ig
nored. But the conflict between human
rights and the demands of organised
wealth can only be settled finally by a
recognition of the superiority of the claims
of men over the claims of money.
Attitude of Democrats.
The democratic party has been de
feated In the last three campaigns, but
the msjorlty lias increased ana the party
is stronger today than It has been since
the polls closed in 19o2. because It stands
on solid ground and because events have
been proving the correctness of the posi
tion taken by it. The democrats who
have been keeping the faith have no doubt
of the final triumph of their principles.
The forc that are behind the truth are
as irresistible and constantly at work
as the forces of nature which bring forth
the harvest from the seed that Is sown
and sustalned-by the faith In the triumph
of their cause. The den.oorats ari ready
for the fight of IS". Wherever in any state
republican reformers propose legislation In
the Interests of the people they will re
ceive the democratic support and the dem
ocrats will thus prove the sincerity of
their purpose. If throuKV republican Initi
ative reforms are accomplished, democrat
will share in the honor of securing those
reforms and if republicans fall to secure
reforms the efforts will furnish an educa
tion of which the democrats can take ad
vantage In their next appeal to the voters.
