Judge G.. B. Elliott this morning, seems
to point to a new line Of defense. The
fact that there have been several new

existed to down. Dr.. Ames, and that

a. large sum Of money to ''go AFTER

Another rumor has, it that an attempt

trains were dispatched for Manchu-
ria, following trains sent a few days
before. The mem were accommodated
in the usual covered vans marked For
eight horses or forty men,
There were no heating arrange
ments. Educated Russians at Wilma
expressed much sympathy for the
men, in view of the rigorous climatic
conditions between Wilma and Manchu-

month to reach their destination.
At Wilma, Russian colonel said
that some 500 jewish regulars and re-

that these six were shot Immediately,
the colonel said he believed that sew
eral such Jews had been caught and
had paid the inevitable penalty.
Among the Jews in southern Rus
STA, the feeling is that if any race is
to be spared in the government order
to proceed to the front, it will not be
the Jewish. The stories that Jews are
volunteering in Russia en- masse are
absurdly exaggerated.
Public feeling, in the whole, is re-
markedly quiet. The reading public

Special to The Journal.
Appleton, Wis, Feb. 25.-With his
legs literally filled with buckshot and
suffering intense pain, Carl Jackson,
wife deserter and would-be suicide,
lies in precarious condition, the re-
suits Of incidents connected with his
attempted escape from the county
workhouse this afternoon, the 13-year-
old son of Nicholas Stark, superin-
tendent of the workhouse, figuring as
the hero.
The youthful officer was left in
charge of the institution for a short
time and Jackson took occasion to
jump the fence and attempt escape.
The boy warned him not to leave the
premises.
Needless of the admonition, Jackson
madeh is dash for liberty. The lad
gave chase for a short distance, but as
soon as it became, apparent to him
that he would have to resort to ex-
IRENE means or lose his man, he lev
eled his shotgun and fired. Three
shots were required before Jackson
was brought down. Nearly 100 shots
were found in Jackson's body.

SUPPORT FOR RUSSIA
French Officials Believe Powers Will
Check Japan in Korea.

Paris, Feb. 25.-It is the belief in
the high official quarters that the
powers will support the Russian view
of the invalidity of the Japanese
treaty with Korea, so far as it creates
a Japanese protectorate over Korea,
owing to the emperor's being under
duress.
But Is said no Immediate action on
the part Of the powers is required as
the question of the recognition of the
protectorate will definitely arise when
the terms Of peace are considered.
In the meantime, official opinion
here is strongly sympathetic with Rus
sia's position, and it is considered that
Russia's note to the powers protesting
against Japan's violation of Korean
neutrality fully protects international
rights,as the protest antedates the Off
cial announcement Of the conclusion of
the treaty.

Would Break Neutrality Pact to Get
Better Peace Terms.
Nav vorIr Gu, c,e,;,, co,r;,. -


Better Peace Terms.
New York Sun Special Service
Washington, Feb. 25.-Russia' s
latest note will be considered care
fully by the president and his cabinet
before this government gives any ex-
preston of it's possible attitude upon
the points raised by the czar's min
istry. The note is considered to have
possible important bearing in future
upon conditions in the far east.
In diplomatic circles it is believed
that Russia is paving the way for a
free hand in the future in Korea and
Manchuria. Naturally, Russia desires
expressions, of concurrence from other
which she would accept hereafter as
acquiescence in the attitude she is
expected to assume.
It is thought here that what Russia
desires is to place Japan in the posi-
ton Of being the aggressor In the vio-
lation of the neutrality understand
ing. Having fixed that charge upon
Japan, Russia would hold herself
thenceforth free from the stipulatioTs
Of the treaty and absolved from all
requirements to preserve the neutral
ity of Korea. 49,
Russia wants to be in position to
occupy Korea without the interposi-
tiQn Of the other powers, who might
object Russia expects in the end to
defeat Japan and in the treaty of
peace, if she is the, conqueror, will un-
doubtedly drive hard bargain.
{ Under existing conditions, Russia
would be restrained by treaty stipula-
tons and by interests at stake of the
powers in the far east. Acquiescence
Of the nations of the earth in the
Russian views set forth in the note
would be tacit vacation on their part
of some of their claims.
Secretary Hay was looking forward
to the end of the war when he issued
his recent note to the powers in favor
Of restriction Of the war zone and
preservation Of neutrality. Whether
Russia's position, as advanced in her
latest note, interferes with the pro-
gram contemplated in the American
note will be thoroly discussed by the
cabinet before an answer is given to
Count Cassini. It is this view of the
situation which lends Importance to
the Russian note.

Good Faith.

An example Of good faith is shown
in the recent action of Argentina and
Chile. The boundary question being
definitely settled between the two
countries, there Is nothing further to
quarrel about and they are disarming
according to agreement. Following
the lead Of Argentina, which disposed
of a fine pair of warships to Japan,
Chile is now selling a fine bunch to
England. But no better example Of
good faith could be cited than that Of
the regular users Of golden grain belt
beer. Its regular use insures the body
against the depressing influence of
worry or winter, at the same time
gratifying the taste as a pure and de-
lightful beverage. s.a' NTI .
