kheir parents asked the police to aid
in a search for them. -Four hours lat

ing Port Arthur proper with the old
forts south of the fortress leading to
Golden Hill. On this side Of the city
1t is estimated that one-half the Rus
sian forces, probably 1000 in all, were
fighting, and, as they were in well
fortified positions, protected by gun
fire from Golden Hill, it was the opin-
ion here that the engagement, as an
nounced from General Nogi's head
quarters, might take the form of
continuous battle until the Russians
were forced into the extreme corner
of the prom0ntory south OF the fort
ress.
In the two bulletins from General
Nogi's headquarters is the announce
ment that all the centre bitches south
OF the Kekwan Mountains and running
along the ridges to Ruin Mountain
were taken after an hours fighting
one hour after sunrise. There is the
further announcement that the Jap
anese column in the Etsze hills adj
yanced TO the first line of trenches
facing White Wolf Hill, and that be-
fore dawn naval guns were posted on
the ridges directly across the bay from
Tigers Tail. The japanese guns
shelled the parapets and inflicted
heavy damage.
A bulletin reported that the battle
ship Poltava was hit three times by
shells, once below the water line, and
was towed at nightfall to the north
westerly side of Tigers Tail, beyond
the Chingtau fort. The cruiser Giliak
was set on fire by the shells from the
naval guns on Etsze Mountain. A
cruiser of the Amur type was towed
in sinking condition to the outer
harbor. The battleships Peresviet and
Retzivan have been repeatedly hit by
shells from the westerly forts captured
by the japanese
Dispatches were received and posted
from General Kuroki's headquarters,
place not stated, announcing that the
Japanese recent advance had been
three miles. The resistance Of the
Russian forces in front was only Of
general character Small detachments
Of Russians have invariably attacked
the Japanese outposts before dawn,
always retiring to intrenched posi-
tions. The dispatch did not indicate
where General Kuroki's army was,
but that it was closely in touch with
the central army under General Nodzu
is shown by the fact that the bulletin
says Russian artillery for three days
has shelled the trenches of the central
army, but without serious effect The
story from the field closes with the an
nouncement that few casualties have
resulted from the daily rifle fire.

Nothing now remains except for the
citizens of Chicago, Ill. to carry out
their intention to transfer the neces-
sary ground, valued at S175.OO0. to the
Navy Department, which will proceed
to dredge the harbor and erect the
buildings necessary for the housing
and training of from 1000 to 1000 naval
recruits
Secretary Morton has no further an

navy's policy in this direction. 1t is
probable. however. that steps will soon
be taken toward an agreement with
Great Britain whereby fairly large
training ships may cruise the great
lakes with the naval recruits from this
station.
The Rush Bagot treaty, concluded
in 1916, now limits the naval repre-
sentation of the United States on the
Great Lakes to one man-of war. The
old Michigan is that ship. It Is NOT
expected that much difficulty will be
met in seeking a more liberal interpre-

BOY PARAL WE'D BY HAzING1
San Francisco Cal. Students Torture
Fellow Student.
Youth Is stripped After Fierce Fight and
Bound to Metal Chair when Eiec-
tricity is applied In Force.

San Francisco, Cal The brutal haz-
ing of Albert I. De Rome, student at
the Mark Hopkins Institute OF Art
here, is the sensation Of the moment.
All cruelties practised at other hazings
pale in comparison with those to which
De Rome was subjected. The perpe-
traitors are to be at once brought to
criminal trial.
De Rome is paralyzed from the hips
down, and he supports himself with a
cane as he drags his feet along.
The students call the torture to
which De Rome was subjected the
muscle Dance and the effect was
produced by shocking the victim with
electricity. The fun consisted in watch
ing the involuntary twitching Of the
muscles under the violent electric inn
pulse. The hazing was in a musty,
vile smelling attic at No. Gil Clay
street. The muscle dance was re-
sorted to only after the lad had refused
TO take certain obscene VOWS. and
when all other method ordinarily
used in college hazing had been vain
" exhausted.
De Rome, after a terrible beating.
was stripped and bound naked to a
chair with raetal seat-a chair in inn
itation of the eIectrocution instrument
His body was dy papered and painted.
Queer masks were put upon him. He
was made ridiculous His tormentors
laughed in savage glee.
Then the, electric, current was turned
on the chair. The shock caused De
Rome to Writhe. As the victims legs
quivered and kicked c0nvuIsiveiy
shrieks of merriment came from the
inQuisitors.
When the mirth was ait it's height it
was suddenly suspected that the boy
was avoiding contact with the disks.
He had ceased to writhe
Then, to make certain that he should
not escape the.full force of the electric
lty, De Rome was tightly strapped
down to the seat and the current was
repeatedly turned on again. The cruel
ordeal lasted for two hours and half.
De Rome says that after the first
two hours he ceased to feel the pain,
and his legs worked under the deadly
current. with the automatic movement
seen in the limbs of dead frog when
touched with the two poles of an cleo
trio battery for anatomical experts
ments.

the bull came charging down upon her,
He caught the girl on his horns and
tossed her high in the air. She fell,
breaking her left arm.
The terrier was trotting quietly
along with his mistress when the bull
charged. He leaped at the bull and
his teeth closed tight over the animals

strength and persistency was in that
grip, and the bull became so discon.

and tried to break the dogs hold.
Meanwhile Miss Stein managed to
scale fence. When she was safe the
terrier let go and cleared the fence
after her.
