For the Naval Officers

ATTITUDE OF MOODY
Claims it is Persecution
for Which San Juan
May Suffer.

Washington, April 23. - Secretary
Moody is inclined to believe that the
prosecution of the naval officers at San
Juan, Porto Rico, who are charged
with smuggling, is rapidly becoming
persecution, and it is intimated at the
department that unless the attitude of
the local officials there changes the de-
STABILITY of San Juan as an important
naval station may be impaired. 1t is
even intimatad that the naval officers
there may DE withdrawn. Governor
Hunt fully appreciates the attitude of
the government, and is doing what he
can to straighten out matters and re
lieve the officers of further embarrass-
ment

HE FIGHT AT DETROIT

Detroit, April 23.-Jack Root, of
Chicago, was given the decision over
kid Mccoy at the end of the 10th
round last night. The bout was
one-man affair from beginning to end,
Mccoy never having a chance. Root
landed at will with left and right to
the face and body and generally with
out return. The first round opened
with light exchanges of Iefts to the
body. Mccoy landed a left to the
jaw and cleverly ducked a vicious
swing. No damage was done.
Mccoy started the second with a
left hook to the jaw, a right to the
head and right and left to the neck
and mouth. Near the end OF the
round Root landed low body punch
that sent Mccoy to the mat and
would have ended the bout had it not
been for the gong.
Mccoy Takes Count.
Root opened the third with a right
to the back of the head. and Mccoy
went down and took the count. Root
landed his left and right to the body.
Mccoy again going down and taking
the count. Mccoy was very groggy
and was holding to save himself
From this time on Root landed as he
pleased. McCoy's blows lacked steam
and he appeared to be content with
staying the limit. He braced some
what in the sixth, but was never dam
gerous. Mccoy took the count in the
seventh, eighth and ninth. and by
holding managed to stay to the end.

Russia Preparing for War in Man
ner That Breaks the Record,
the Special Says.

st. Petersburg, April 23-Russian
opinion is intensely irritated by Eng
lands policy of preparation to resist
the expansion of the cars empire.
This feeling is fully shared in official
quarters, where it has become especial
ly acute as the result of the attitude of
the Balfour cabinet with regard to the
Bagdad railway. England's first deep
offense against Russian susceptibilities
was the recent conclusion of a war
alliance with Japan plainly aimed at
Russian ambitions in China. This was
followed Immediately afterward by ex-
traordinary measures on the part of
Great Britain to erect barriers against
Russia'S southward mach through
PeSia.

Russia Making War Preparations.

That the British really believe such
an undertaking feasible is regarded in
st. Petersburg as an established fact
and the government is planning naval
and military arrangements on an un-
precedented scale. This policy is an
official secret hermetically sealed, but
it is easy to surmise that its attitude
is not one of acquiescence. The least
apprehensive observers, therefore, can
not pretend that the relations of the
two countries are on a safe footing

Britain's Continuous Cry Is "Halt"'

Now comes the third distinct offense
of the same kind-EnglandS undis-
guised attempt either to prevent the
construction of the Bagdad railway or
so to hedge the enterprise about that
Russian participation Will be rendered
impossible. In this manner the British
ministry is all the time crying ''Halt!'
to Russia in the far east, the middle
east and the near east. The Muscovite
naturally considers this policy an au-
dacious project TO stereotype his en-
pire withiA its present limits.

Prof. George Lincoln Burr, of Cornell,
who lately toured New England on his b.
cycle in order to gather facts about witch
craft, is an authority on the history of SUI
perstition and persecution, and is also an
indefatigable wheelman. Prof. Burr, with
his bicycle, has penetrated many primitive
and secluded parts of the United States.
From these journeys, says an eastern ex-
change, he returns with little stories that
are now quaint, now strange, now humor-
Gus. A story of the latter sort concerns q
visit to Tennessee.
Il arrived one night at q mountaineer's

While l was eating the meal my host

to fill my glass, to bring me more bread, and
so forth. Finally, when began to eat q

Easy TO Get.

Pierpont, O., Oct: 5th.-Remarkable in

man now over seventy-one years OF age, and
whose home is here.
For many years this old gentleman had
suffered with very Unpleasant form of Kid
ney Trouble, a kind that very often both
ers aged people. He would have to get up
four or five times every night, and this very
tiresome disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up his
mind that he would never be able to get re-
hef, he stumbled over a medicine which re-
.heved him almost Immediately, and has cured
, aim perma nently. 1t is so very easy to get
snd so simple that Mr. Turner thinks every
one should know it. Every dealer in the
country has it, and all you have to do is to
ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Turner
says:-
q can heartily and honestly recommend
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they cured me. Sew
eral others in the family have used them, too,
and always with the best results. think
they have no equal"
