New York Sun Special Service.

NEW 4oTA DUN 6pec1dI SeCV1ce. E
Chicago, Nov. 29.-Habeas corpus
proceedings begun in the circuit court
yesterday may pave the way for q con-
certed effort to procure the freedom Of
the prisoners in the penitentiaries at
Joliet and Chester. The enforced idle
ness Of the prisoners since the new con-
of the state authorities in carrying out
the plan for giving them employment on
state work are responsible for the action
in the court. ~
Whether the proceedings will operate
to release any of the prisoners remains
to be determined, but in any event, it is
believed the action will tend to relieve
the conditions in the penitentiaries
which SO keenly have aroused public
sentiment.
Two self-confessed murderers, George
Cantos and Pietro Pettinato, thru their
attorney, w.. G.. Anderson, have begun
the contest for freedom. Judge Windes
issued writs Of habeas corpus for the
men and will hear arguments on the pc
tition tomorrow morning. It will be
the chief argument Of Attorney Ander-
son in: support of the petition that his
clients are e IND; in danger OF becoming insane
The men declare they have been
ready and willing to work since July J.
when, the law prohibiting prison labor
became operative, but have been forced
to remain idle.
The lawyer expressed the opinion that
every convict in the penitentiaries Of
the state had good grounds for q petit
tion such as has been filed by Cantos
and Pettinato, as long as the state COM
pels them to lie idle in their cells.

The fire started in the furnace-rooms

the building and before noon the

It contained bowling alleys, billiard ant

No pains were spared by Mr.. Atwooc
in fitting it up and in gathering, curio'

Many distinguished men from various

FROM PRISON CELL TO
. s. A HOME OF LUXURY
Woman's Accusers Say She Pos.
sesses Uncanny Power to
Get Mems Money.

New York, Nov. 29.-Overwhelmed
by the clrcumstantial story connecting
her with a woman in penal garb, mend
ing the clothing of men convicts in the
Ohio state prison, and which traced her
career as girl forger, clairvoyant, black
mailer, adventures and heartless
swlndler to the prison door and thence
to her beautiful Euclid avenue home in
Cleveland, Mrs. Leroy S. Chadwick has
forsaken the Holland house. Her de-
parture may have been fastened by the
displeased attitude of the managers of
the hotel, hostelry celebrated for the
high quality of its patrons. '-
Before leaving the hotel Mrs Chad
wick reiterated, thru her son, the denial
that she had ever been known as Lydia
De We're, or had ever served term in
prison. -'
Mrs. Chadwick is said, by those who
have had dealings with her, to have
operated solely along legitimate lines in
procuring large sums of money. The
quarter of a million dollars for which
she is now sued by half a dozen banks
and individuals is believed to represent
only a small part Of the money she has
actually borrowed from leading institu-
tions and men.
1t appears from the developments
that for the past year or more Mrs.
Chadwick has spent most Of her time
travelling about the country negotiating
extensive loans with banks and indi-
| viduals.

emo Need Of Soldiers. y

Duquoin, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-John Con.
roy, president Of the local branch Of
the United Mine Workers, said today:
There is no need Of soldiers at Zeigler.
There has been no violence nor is any
anticipated Our men are comfortably
CHARTERED at their camp and have made
no demonstration whatever. It Is pre-
sumed that Letter intends importing ex-
pert miners from Pennsylvania today or
tomorrow and that he has induced Sheriff
Stein to ask for assistance simply to
have the soldiers act as guards, the same
as the deputy sheriffs have been doing
since the strike began July 10.
I believe Governor Yates has been mis-
informed as to the situation. The miners
are convinced that Letter Is undertaking
a hopeless task others have tried what
he is now trying and gave it up. He
will find his efforts more expensive than
his failure to corner wheat.
+. All s persons, including newspaper
men, are barred from the stockades ct
Zeigler. No one but Joseph Letter, it
is said, can issue permits passing any
one thru the line.

Bemidji, Nov. + 2299.-Two Thousand
acres of land in Blackjack township,
about thirty miles north Of Bemidiii,
were sold today to a, company repre-
sented by Jabe Hines for $4,000 cash.
There is much speculation as to the pur-
pose to which this land is to be put.
Mr.. Hines, as agent. of the. company,
has been securing options on various
tracts in the vicinity Of Blackjack and
Dowieite and that he some months ago
declared he would found Dowie col
ony in Beltrami county, lends color to
the belief that colony on a large scale
is to be established, notwithstanding
the assertion of Dowie himself that the
scheme is a fraud. -.
The tract purchased is at Hines Spur,
where there has been much building
activity the past month. a.
Mr.. Hines is an enthusiastic follow
er Of Alexander Dowie. He is a man
or rough exterior, but intelligent and
possessed Of wealth. It is only year
ago that. he presented Dowie with $12, :
900 in cash. He is brother Of Farm

Toxic, Nov. 29.-The imperial head
quarters tonight summarized the Port

With regard to the enemy's forts at
Sung-shu mountain and eastward, we
have firmly captured the crests, glacis9
and counterscarps and their vicinities,
but the time to charge has not yet
come. AT present, we are destroying
the classmates, and other caponieres.
At 203 Meter Hill by several
charges we succeeded in capturing the
enemy's shelter trenches near the sum-
nit: At present our force is holding

the whole fort"
I Chi-fu, Nov. 29.-Chinese and Japan
iese adylces received here today Indicate
that the general assault on Port Arthur
begun Nov: "a, was continuing Nov. 27.s
1t Is a matter of doubt, tho, whether the
assault was sufficiently widespread to
be called general.
I, A detachment Of the eleventh division
began the advance the afternoon Of
| Nov. "a, following several days bonn:
bardment, rushing against the trenches,
guarding the approach to the southeast
fort OF the Kee-kwan mountain group.s
The Japanese artillery in the meanwhile
threw all the metal possible against the,

AFTER Eve hours fighting and several

after two hours fighting. q
Another line Of trenches more formid-
able than the ones destroyed, lies be-

.'Mortal" Wounds Are Healed,

Truly marvellous are some Of the
cures effected in the Hiroshima hospital.
DR.. Seaman says that up to the time Of
his first visit in July, "there had been
more, than 600 operative cases and only
six deaths. - He adds:
In one Of the wards we found fifteen
surgical cases, six Of which had expe-
rienced hemorrhages from the lungs and
suit of bullet perforations. All were re-
covering and ten were able to stEnd and
remain in that position while we were in
the ward. Nine patients had been shot
thru the brain, orihce Of entrance and exit
Another case was that of man shot di-
rectly over the region Of the heart. There
was no point Of exit for the bullet, and
he probably carries it around with him to-
day. Another man was injured by a ball
which entered beneath the middle of the
right clavicle and went thru the lungs.
The ordinary flesh wounds scarcely needed
any treatment at all, and there probably
was never a hospital in the world where
the percentage Of the death rate was SO
Food for Convalescents.
It is characteristic Of the Japanese to
waste nothing. Certainly they are
striving to prevent the waste Of any
possible human unit. This is shown,
not only in the way they are saving
their wounded, as made plain by the
above figures, but by the methods they
adopt to build up the, convalescents sc

USE DOGS AS SCOUTS
Japanese Hunt Out Their Enemies with
Dogs Tied to Strings.

Mukden, Nov. ga Japanese cav
alryman who has been captured by the
Russians declares that General Kurokis
5ls not dead as has been rumored among.
the Chinese =.
There has been no important change in
the situation. Small skirmishes are re-
ported on the eastward but there is no
sign of definite Japanese advance.
The close proximity Of the opposing
lines in many places is leading to new
and unexpected developments. Recent.
ly the Japanese have been using dogs as
scouts, sending them out from the
trenches with long cords attached. It
is almost impossible to detect these
wary animals, which unerringly locate
the Russian position and give warning
Of any movement against the Japanese.
Some of the Russians have managed,
however, to strew the neutral ground
with poisoned pork, thus thinning the
ranks Of the dog scout department.
A number Of rockets were recently
sentup by the Japanese in the hope, ap-
parently, Of drawing the Russian fire
at night.
Prisoners taken by the Russians are
generally well clothed but are said not
to show any great desire to return to-
their own lines.
