CROOKED WORK
At THE POLLS
Evidence Given in Denver
That Frauds We're Prac-
ticed on Wholesale Scale
BOTH PARTIES ACCUSED
Witnesses State That There
Was Flagrant Repeating
on Part of the Democrats

DENVER, Nov. 29.-The taking of
testimony was continued to-day in the
election contempt cases before the Su-
preme Court. Several of the defend
ants were on the witness stand, in
cluding Frank Kratke, chief license
inspector Both Kratke and Alder
man Michael Mahoney denied having
shown any discourtesy to the Supreme
Court watchers, thus refuting the
testimony given yesterday. They also
denied that Alfred Weimer was forced
out of the polling booth because he
asked for a second ballot upon discov-
ering that the one handed him was al
ready marked.
Kratke, Edward O'Mailia, Charles
Kofsky and other defendants as well
as Alderman Mahoney and other wit
nesses swore that there was no re-
peating as far as they knew in Precinct
of Ward 5. City and County Clerk
julius Aichele testified that no such
name as Doud appeared on the regis
tEation and poll books of that precinct.
1t was claimed by the Republicans that
Doud was a resident of the precinct
and would swear to having voted re-
peatedly upon solicitation of the DEM
ocratic workers if he was grauted i'm
munity from arrest.
A feature of the testimony to-day
was the statement of Kratke that Os-
car Anderson, who served as a Repub-
lican challenger, resident of Precinct
of Ward 5. had come to him on cleo
tion day and offered to vote his entire
family for the Democratic ticket for
the sum of So. Previous to this Ander-
son had denied having made any such
offer.
The prosecution rested it's case this
morning after taking the testimony Of
several new witnesses and recalling
others, who were on the stand yester-
day. The main trend of their evidence
was that there was wholesale repeat
ing by Democrats in Precinct 8 of
Ward 8.

sr,ay SOCIETIES GIVE BENEFIT.

A musical and literary entertain
ment for the benefit of the Russian
Red Cross Society was given last night
at Native Sons Hall under the
auspices of the Slav-American COM
mittee, in cooperation with the local
Slavonic societies.
An elaborate programme of instru-
mental music and Slavonic solos with
Russian songs by a special quartet
and addresses by local Russians of
prominence occupied the early part of
the evening. Among the speakers
were DR.. V. G. Vecki and the Rev. P.
c. Yorke. Following the programme
came dancing and refreshments.
The committee of arrangements in
charge of the affair consisted of ]. E.
KukaviZa, Hon. H. S. Martin, j. JUS
tice, A. Pilcovich and Miss NJ. Dabo-
vich.

OYAMA oUTNUMBERED.
Holding i'm Check an Army Twice as
Large as His Own.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 29.-Ac-
cording to information which has
reached the War Office here Field
Marshal Oyama's strength is much
smaller than heretofore believed, tend
ing to confirm the theory that large
force has been withdrawn to assist in
storming Port Arthur. This informa-
ton is to the effect that not many
more than 150, ZOO men are now con-
fronting General Kuropatkin, but that
the japanese lines are we'll fortified, in
order to check any aggressive move
n1ent which Kuropatkin might under
take long enough to enable the Jap
anese to hurry up reinforcements by
rail from the peninsula. The present
activity of the Japanese along the
front, these reports indicate, is only
fejgning, to convince Kuropatkin that
the offensive is imminent.
Should this important intelligence
be absolutely confirmed it is possible
that the Russian commander in chief
may himself attempt to strike quick
blow. Kuropatkin is now supposed to
have nearly 100000 men.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.


So the tariff question resolves itself
simply to one of whether there shall be
an extra session or whether it shall be
left to another winter. 1t is agreed
that it cannot be taken up before the
4th of March-there is not time enough
The revisionists favor the extra ses-
sion, of course, and others lean to the
opinion that if the thing is to be done
it cannot be done too quickly Anything
like radical changes are not suggested.
Those schedules which are said to have
been made purposely high with a view
tot concessions in the event of the in
auguration of a policy of reciprocity
and which admit of the selling cheaper
in foreign markets than at home are the
ones that will be discussed and scaled
down if there be scaling.
With a Republican majority of 116 in
the House, where the bill must orig
mate, certainly it can be said it would
be in the hands of it's friends. Speaker
Cannon is a stalwart of the stand-pat-
ters, and Vice President Fairbanks.
President of the Senate, champion Of
the tariff So there is nothing alarming
in the prospect. nor would there be to
Dingley himself if he were here. AS for
the President he will first get the judg-
ment of the leaders Of both houses be-
fore taking action, and he has left the
matter out of the message, in doing all
of which he has again disappointed the
alarmists.
The second session of the Fifty-eigh,
Congress will convene on Monday !;
noon. Nearly all the leaders and most
of the members have arrived, many Of
them weeks ago. The Capitol building
presents the aspect of a new pin. The
winters business is full of interesting
promise.

PROGRESS OF ASSAULT.

CHEFU, Nov. 29.-Chinese and Japa-
nese advices received here to-day indi-
cate that the assault on Port Arthur
which began on November 26 was still
in progress on the 9th. 1t is certain
that the fighting has been severe, but it
is not known whether the assault is
sufficiently widespread to be called gen.
eral. The Chinese say that one train
of thirty cars arrived at Dalny with
wounded, but that no prisoners have
been captured.
AS has frequently been indicated, the
japanese positions are most promising
on Rihlung and Keekwan mountains,
and the attack was designed to further
Increase the power of these positions. A
detachment of the Eleventh Division
began the advance, and this was fol-
lowed by bombardment and by rushes
against the trenches guarding the ap-
proach to the southeastern fortified po-
sitions on Keekwan Mountain. The
japanese artillery was meanwhile
throwing all possible metal against
Rihlung and ANTI mountains.
The possession of the trenches was
stubbornly contested, but after five
hours fighting and after having suf-
fered several repulses the Japanese
drove the Russians out and destroyed
their trenches. Then, behind SandbagS
which the infantry carried, the Japa-
nese succeeded in intrenching them
selves. Later the Russians made sor-
tie, which the Japanese say they re-
pulsed after two hours fighting.
Another line of trenches more formid-
able than those destroyed lies between
the Japanese and the forts they seek
to capture.
The japanese at Dalny believe that
the attack has become general. as men

II
MUKDEN, Nov. 29.-The close
proximity of the opposing lines
in places is leading to new and unex-
pected developments. Recently the
Japanese have been using dogs as
scouts, sending them out of the
trenches with long cords attached.
1t is almost impossible to detect these
wary animals, which unerringly locate
the Russian position and give warn
ing of any movement against the
Japanese. Some of the Russians have
managed, however, to strew the neu-
trail ground with poisoned pork, thus
thinning the ranks of the dog scout
department.
number of rockets were recently
sent up by the Japanese, in the hope,
apparently, of drawing the Russian
fire at night.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-According to
a Toxic dispatch to the Standard
there is an unofficial rumor that the
japanese hauled large caliber guns to
the top of 203-meter hill, whence
their fire has a sweep of the whole
harbor. This report doubtless goes
beyond the facts, but various dis
patches indicate the progress the
japanese are making in the reduction
of Porl Arthur.
Bennett Burleigh wires the Daily
Telegraph from Chefu that in the last
assault the Japanese lost 400 men in
one hours fighting. They claim to
have captured two more Of the north
eastern forts and a third, which is
part of the west Keekwan fort. They
claim, Burleigh adds. to have effected
a lodgment at Pigeon Bay, thus turn
ing the fort on 203-meter hill, and
that they are row tunneling from the
gorge below Laoti Hill, which they
hope first to damage and then to rush.
The dispatch continues:
Desperate fighting is proceeding
daily and the losses are admitted to
be excessive, but the japanese insist
that Port Arthur must fall within
twenty-one days.
RELIEVE REPORTS OVERDRAWN.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 80, 1925
q. m.-Foreign reports of the hghting
at Port Arthur are accepted here very
seriously. If the Japanese have talk
en- 203-meter hill, as reported, COM
manding the whole harbor, it is be-
lieved that the situation is critical.
Experts on Port Arthur topography
assert, however. that it is more likely
that the Japanese have occupied some
positions at the base of the hill and
believe that, owing to the concentrate
ed fire of the governing forts. the Jap
anese will find the top of the hill' un-
tenable if they arrive there.
BERLIN, Nov. 30.=A dispatch
from Toxic to the Taglische Rund-
schau reports that the Japanese
storming of Port Arthur was aban-
doned on November % because,
though large breaches had been made
in the Sungshu. Rihlung and Keek-
wan forts, the Japanese were unable
to enter, on account of the heavy fire
from the other forts and the resist
ance of the garrisons.

FIGHT FOR REVISION.

But turning from the question of Of
fees, il is Roosevelt's leaning toward
tariff revision that excites real inter
est. Every politician, Member of Con-
gress or prominent man visiting the
city, or that has visited the White
House, has run the gauntlet of the in
terviewer. There has been constant
stream of these visitors of a very Sc
lect sort since the election-sone of the
most prominent of stand-patters, as
well as leaders of the revision idea.
OF these the revisionists have in their
enthusiasm all been ready to talk and
have therefore got much the better of

sentative of the one time Iowa idea

Of Minnesota, who believes in revising
the tariff upward, has come to town
in a very tractable mood. The easy

their warrant in the Presidents sym

Curse That Was Fulfilled.

A famous Gaelic curse put upon the
family of Dalrymple at the time OF
the massacre Of Glencoe, In the 18th
century, is recalled by the death Of
the Earl of Stair, head of the Dali
rymple family. The first earl Of the
line took part in the massacre. and
Jean Macdonald, the sole survivor on
a large family that persisted through
the earl's cruelty. delivered a bitter
curse upon him, Wishing that no suc'
ceeding earl should have children. A
startling comment on this malediction
Is that the second, third, fourth, sixth.
seventh and eighth earls Of Stair all
died without issue-a circumstances
probably unique in the annals OF the
peerage. The family OF the first earl
became entirely extinct In 1870, and
the succession passed to the descend
ants of his next brother, Sir James
Dalrymple, from whom came the peer
Just deceased. Evidently the curse
did not pass with the title, for tho
two earls of the present family had
sons.
