Cedar Rapids, May 2S.-Professor j.

gational church of this ely and lec-
turer in pedagogy at Coe College, yes
terday morning, after conducting
chapel exercises. as an alumni of the
state Normal School. repudiated the
attacks being made by Cedar Falls

Huggett said he graduated from the
Normal twelve years ago. and repeated
that he wished before the Coe students
to repudiate all attacks being made
on one of the most courteous gentle
men he ever knew.
These attacks. made, it is claimed
chiefly by the correspondents of Cedar
Falls papers, have been most bitter,
growing out of the controversy over
the finish of the mile relay in the !. /.

was caught before he crossed the tape.

RUSSIA FEELS THE BLOW.
If Guns Were Captured Extent Of the
Disaster Is Doubled.

SIT. Petersburg. May 2S. There is no
attempt here to disguise the fact that
the. successful forcing of the neck of
the. kwan Tung peninsula proper puts
n practical end to the resistance of the
enemy until he reaches the actual forti-
flcations around Port Arthur. Altno
there are many strong positions In the
more than 25 miles before the peri
meter of the fortress is reached, the au-
thorities admit the Russians can offer
little resistance and must now retire
within the fortress and undertake to
defend themselves against siege.
Neither the admiralty nor the general
staff has any direct information. Like
the outside world. they are dependent
entirely upon the enemy for news.
While there is no disposition to ques
ton the main facts sent out officially
from Toxic, some unofficial reports
from Japanese sources are being re-
ceived with caution. The impossibility

desperate courage and at a frightful
cost. The earlier news was received in
calm spirit by both the public and
newspapers, but If the latest report that
the Japanese captured fifty guns is con-
firrned, it is sure the effect Will be much
deeper and Is certain to be considered
a severe blow. Until that report ar
rived the feeling was that the Russians
had resisted to the limit of human en-
durance and had retired in good order,
but il this number of guns We're taken

things. tho it is conceivable here that

FIFTY RUSSIAN GUNS
CAPTURED BY THE JAPS

of the Kin Chou positions retired with
in the fortress.
He discussed with some detail the
difficulties of approach. After the
outer line of fortifications is reached
number of detached positions must
be captured by the enemy, before the
enemy could even reach the inner de-
fenses. The taking of each position
would necessitate bloody battle.
Their capture would leave the citadel
untouched and, to his mind. i'm
pregnable.
A great deal, of course would de-
pend upon the relative merits of the
artillery of the opposing forces. Rus
sian guns could not be judged by re-
suits on the Yalu, where the Russians
had only light advance guards ar
tillery against heavy siege guns, which
the Japanese were bringing UP for use
in Manchuria. Port Arthur Captain
Jakovleff said, had mounted numerous
large guns landwards, while Makaroff
system of range find is SO nearly per-
feet that the Japanese never ventured
within range of the shore batteries
AS illustrating the fact that the
japanese artillery Is not necessarily
invincible the captain said the battle
ship Petropavlovsk was struck by a
l2-inch shell at distance of two and
three quarters miles and ner armor
penetrated to depth OF only two
inches. He declared that Port Arthur
was provisioned for a year and said
all damaged ships there had been re-
naired. except the Retvizan and Czar-
evitch. The latter ought to be read
today and the former withing a week.

DOG SAVES MASTER.
Drives Back Vicious Bull Which Had
Attacked Nathan GILLESPIE.

Special to Times Republican.
Charlton, May 2S.-A faithful dog
saved the life Of Nathan Gillespie, a
young farmer residing in Lincoln
township. Thursday. and succeeded in
driving away vicious bull which was
trying to gore Gillespie and would un-
doubtedly have killed him outright had
not the dog interfered.
Gillespie went into the field where
several cattle were, and as he had often
done so without serious results he was
quite unprepared for the attack made
upon him by the bull. The vicious ami
NAL knocked the man down and tram
pied upon him but fortunately Giles
pie succeeded in evading the sharp
horns which threatened him with
death.
Just when the man was losing his
strength and was in imminent danger
of being gored, his dog rushed into the
field and straight at the enraged bull.
He attacked the big animal and fought
fiercely until it turned from the man
to it's newer enemy. Gillespie was
then enabled to reach place of safety.
He is severely bruised as result of his
experience but no serious injuries re-
suited.

A GREAT EXPLOSIVE
United States Army Officers MystiFed

by the Japanese in Their Armor
Piercing Shells.

Washington. May 2s.-Reports re-
ceived here from the far east dwell at
length upon the terrific power of the
Japanese Shimose powder, the nature
of which is an absolute secret. 1t is
not used to propel shot, but for the
bursting charge of the army and navy
explosive shell. The result of its ex-
plosion has astounded the United Stat
es army officers. The heaviest armor
piercing shell. with it's small cavity, is
rent into countless thousands of sharp
fragments which are hurled thru the
air with such great force that they
tear thu the sides of the iron ship as
would projectile from the machine
guns.
The Russian warships Variag and
Korietz were found to be riddled deck
and sides by fragments of these shells.
1t is not known that any other nation
possesses such a terrific explosive.
