essAa~~ war, is that written by Bishop
Moore, now in Chemulpo, Korea. and pub-
lished in the North China News. at Shang-
hal on March Q. Copies of the North China
News were received here on Monday from
w. w. Lockwood, jr., well known In In
DIANA and who is now stationed at Shang-
hal. where he is in charge of Y. M. C.. a.
work and extension in the far East.
Bishop Moore left Shanghai for Chemulpo
on the day before the sea fight in which
the American-built cruiser Variag and the
smaller craft Koreetz were burned, exploded
and sunk in the harbor
Later the bishop was one of a party
which rowed to the sinking Variag's side
and noted the religious zeal of the Rus
sian sailors. which seemed to dull their
sense of danger.
Mr. Lockwood, who has many friends in
indianapolis, writes that he has seen many
interesting photographs of war scenes but
a few hours after they have transpired.
The letter of Bishop Moore follows:

WARRANT is ISSUED.
Marion Brockman Will Be Taken to
the County Jail.

In the city court yesterday afternoon
warrant was issued for Marion Brockman,
charging him with stealing $50 from j. a.
Bishop.
1t will be remembered that about two
weeks ago Brockman was arrested on this
charge He was sent to the bank with
a sum of money belonging to his en-
ployer, and upon his continual absence
the bookkeeper became alarmed and tele-
phoned the bank, only to receive the in
formation that Brockman had not been
there. The police were at once notified
and later in the afternoon the man was
arrested in a saloon on East Douglas. He
was taken to the police station and it was
found that $50 of the money entrusted in
his care was missing.
The way Brockman attempts to ex-
plain is that while on his way to the
bank he met a man who asked him to
drink. whereupon they stepped into the
alley and he took a drink out of bottle.
He says he was drugged and remembers
nothing further. He says he cannot ex-
plain what became of the $50.
He has been confined in the city prison
since his arrest and will probably be ar
raigned in the city court today.
