GROUNDS REJECTED
BALL PARK WILL NO. BE ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF TIE
RIVER
Directors Visit the Grounds and De-
eide That They Can Not Be Utili-
zed for eai Park
NEXT MOVE NOT YET KNOWN

The baseball directors yesterday al
ternoon visited the proposed baseball
grounds II tn Pine Bluff Land com
pany across the river, and afte. care
fully going over the grounds, decided
that the scheme for locating the bail
grounds there next season was rot
feasible.
The directors examined every foot
OF the ground before deciding not to
accept the offer At present the
ground is covered with a short growth
OF burmuda grass which wen remov-
edj leaves a very sandy loan which
could net pc packed sufficiently to
make a good playing diamond, so it
was decided at ence not to accept the
offer.
In every other way the plan is feas-
lble. for tAe ground is smooth, with
just enough roll to make it drain
well. 1t could easily be reached by
boat and is not over three minutes
walk from the other landing.
Just what the directors will now do
fer park is not determined. Bell
park is still open and in every way
suitable but for the time consumed
in getting out to and returning from
the park

agent of the Allan line of steamships,

"As I understand it, at Chicago you

i'm SEARCH OF LOVER.
Why Russian War Nurse Entered the
Japanese Lines.

Chefoo, Nov. "a romantic story
develops around Miss Corelle, the
russian war nurse. who is on her way
to Japan. She refuses to talk but a
reliable authority says her capture by
the Chinese bandits who took her into
the Japanese lines was part of her
scheme to find her lover. The first
reports said Miss Corelle had volun-
tarily entered the japanese lines. This
now seems to be incorrect. Miss
Corelle, it is now said, was nurse
during the Boxer rebellion. and won
the Stanislaus medal. During the war
she was wounded in the arm and re-
ceived the st. George medal because
she continued to work when her
wound was dressed. She is a remark
ably handsome woman of 81 years of
age. young Russian officer fell in
love with the pretty nurse, who re-
c1procated his affection fully. Recent
~ TINS officer was among the missing
and it was believed he was wounded
or a prisoner among the japanese In
order to find him, it is alleged, Miss
Corelle strolled from the Russian
camp and very cheerfully allowed
some Chinese bandits to capture her.
This was about ten days ago. The
next step in her scheme was to be-
come a Japanese prisoner or reach
their lines. The bandits, it is asserted,
allowed her to communicate with the
French consul at New Chwang, fol-
lowing which a detail of Japanese sol
diers reached their camp and Miss
Corelle was taken to New Chwang.
She tried to secure permission to go to
Japan and search for her lover. but
the Japanese gave her "a hours in
which to leave the town. suspecting
her of being a spy.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from General Oku's headquarters via
Fusan November 20 said that a Rus
sian woman Red Cross nurse had en-
tered the Japanese lines Sunday last
surrendering and requesting to be sent
to Mabuyama to nurse the Russian
prisoners there. She said she was the
daughter of Russian colonel and that
she had been sent to Japan to care for
the officers at Mabuyama. 1t was
added that her wish was granted.

Mrs Mckee was unable to give a very

not say positively whether he white

hat. The purse contained about So.
An hour later j. B. Morris reported that
he had been held up and robbed of a

Mr.. DEAN MUST ACT.
Instructed to Begin Federal Suits to
Clear the kaw.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The attorney
general has instructed John S. Dean,
United States district attorney for Kan
sas, to make an investigation of charges
that the bridges of the railroad COM
panies over the Kaw are Instructors to
navigation in that stream, and If it ap-
pears that the charges are well found
ed to proceed in the United States
courts against the corporations,
with a, view to clearing the stream for
purposes of navigation.
A copy of the Instructions sent the
district attorney could not be obtained
as officials f.the department of justice
refused to give out any information on
the subject. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the instructions have been
forwarded.
The action of the attorney general has
been foreshadowed in dispatches, as
have been inSiStent that the corpora
lions responsible for the Instructions be
proceeded against, and in at least two
letters to the Department of Justice
General Alexander Mckenzie, chef of
engineers, urged that a suit be entered
against the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
eific Railroad company to compel it to
alter its new bridge in Kansas City be-
cause it INSTRUCTED navigation. A COM
plant against the company was filed
in October with the secretary of war
by George E. Ireland.
Officials of the war department have
instructed Major H. M Chittenden, in
charge of Missouri river improvements
and stationed at Sioux City, to give Mr..
Dean assistance in the preparation of
the suits against the corporation Major
Chittenden was a member of the board
that investigated the river conditions at
Kansas City about a year ago and is
familiar, therefore, with the situation.

BURTON APPEAL FILED.
Grounds on Which Senator Asks for
Reversal by Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The attorneys
of Senator Burton have filed with the
supreme court a brief in connection
with the petition of Burton for a writ
of error in the United States district
court for the eastern district of Missouri
in which he was convicted. In the brief
it is alleged that the United States was
Not directly or Indirectly interested"
in the question whether a fraud order
and Securities company, and that,
therefore, the court below should have
sustained the demurrer to the indict-
ment or should have granted the mo-
ton in arrest of judgment or should
have directed a verdict for the defend
ant.
1t is further contended that there was
no evidence to establish the guilt of the
defendant of the offenses charged in the
indictment or of any offenSe whatever,
and the court erred in refusing to direct
the jury to return as to each count a
verdict of mot guilty" The defendant,
his employment by the Rialto COM
pany, did not even know that any in
quiry was before the postoffice depart
ment, as to whether a fraud order
should issue, and he never rendered
any service having any reference to the
issuance of a fraud order.
On the face of the evidence in the
trial the payments made by four checks
to Senator Burton were made in Wash
ington and not in st. Louis, it is indf-
Gated, and the court in st. Louis had,
under the constitution, no Jurisdiction
of the alleged offenses based on the
checks. No services were performed by
Senator Burton before the postoffice
department for the months salary
which was handed to him in cash in
st. Louis March &c, 1903, and there was
no evidence Of any offense committed
by Senator Burton in St. Louis or else
where in respect of said payment.
Senator Burton is in the city. He
win remain here until his case is called

WEBER REVOL YER FOUND
Discovered in a Barn--Has Imprint of
Bloody Fingers.

Auburn, Gala, Nov. 29,-The prelim-
practically ended last evening with the
sensation of the whole trial-the dra-
matte presentation in court of the pis-
toll with which the deed was evidently
committed. 1t was found on one of the
stills under barn on the Weber place
The barn stands on the side of a hill
near the house and on the underside a
person can creep under it.
The weapon is an liver Johnson 80
calibre pistol. When examined four
chambers were found empty and one
loaded. The pistol was smeared with
blood and on one of the stains some
hair is stuck fast, as if it might be the
weapon with which the boy was beaten.
Half way between the cylinder and the
muzzle are to be plainly seen the i'm
print of two bloody fingers.
