IDENTITY OF MAN
 FOUND IN NAPHTHA TANK

Chicago, May 2S.-The Record-Her- aid to-day says. according to the police of Whiting, Ind, the identity of the man whose dead body was found in a loaded naththa thank car yesterday had been finally established. He was l.. !. Hall, 26 years old, of Wolf's Lake. Ind, and the police believe that he was murdered and his body placed in the car.
 A young man whose name the police withhold. and who had been employed in the shipping department of the Standard Oil Co.'S plant at Whiting. and a woman, 20 years old, to whom both Hall and the missing man are alleged to have been attentive, are being sought by the police.
 Hall had been employed as clerk at Wolf's Lake club house. He left the club last Friday night, and that was the last time his friends saw W him alive. When and where he lost his life re mains to be solved, but marks of yio- lence on his head and body indicate the manner of his death. Halls money and watch cannot be found.

A COSTLY VICTORY.

Tokio, May 2S, 12:30 D. jm.-Japan paid heavily for her victories at Kin Chou and Nan Shang and Talienwan losing 5000 men in killed and wound ed in the repeated assaults upon these positions, but scored a sweeping and valuable victory over the Russians capturing 50 guns. clearing the way into Port Arthur and infiicting losses upon the Russians which will in the end total 2,OOO. It is doubtful if the Russians will make another stand north of Port Arthur. They retired from the field beaten and failed to ral- ly at Nan Qua Ling. The desperate assaults of the Japanese upon the heights of Nan Shang were telling, for the Russians left 300 dead ill the trenches there. Nan Qua Ling was occupied yesterday by Japanese force of infantry. artillery and engi- neers under command of General Ma kamura. The soldiers were greatly fatigued as a result of the continuous fighting, but entered with much spirit upon the new operations. The esti- mates of the Russians ged in de- fense vary, but it is evident that they drew men from Port Arthur and of fered all possible resistance. It is undertsood that Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander at Port Arthur, was in command of the troops: As soon as the Japanese troops have rest ed they will press south.

POLICY KILLED.
New Line of Attack at Chi- cago Knocks Out $lO,-
 900, ,OOO Game.

Chicago, May 2S.-Policy gambling in Chicago, with annual profits esti- mated at $10,0O0. 900, is declared by As sistant Chief of Police Schuettler prac- tically to have been obliterated by a new line of attack against the policy men. AS a result of a conference be- tween Schuettler and Assistant States Attorney Blair, the grand jury to-day will begin voting indictments against policy men already arrested, numbers ing "A. and all that may be captured hereafter.
 Gases now pending in the Harrison street police court against the keepers of policy shops and policy writers are to be dismissed at the request of the corporation cOunsel's office, it is an- nounced, so that full attention may be given by county and city officials to preparing evidence for the grand jury
 The decision to transfer the scene of court action against the policy men rom the police courts to the criminal court was reached after such step had been considered for several days at the states attorneys office It is now agreed that all keepers of policy shops are to be indicted on the charge of
 conducting lottery business" and the policy writers for selling lottery tickets" or having lottery tickets Ill their possession The maximum fine that may be imposed on a conviction of any of these charges is $2,OOO. Eyi- dence is not wanting, say the police, that the policy men already are retreat ing as a result of the activity of the gambling detail Instead of being thronged with patrons, as was the case q week ago, the shops generally are de- serted save for their Keepers. In nine raids yesterday only one shop was dis covered to have more than two in mates.

New York, May 2S.-Several trans fer floats and tugs which continued to ply between New York and New Jer- sey shores throughout the night, by to- day had to considerable extent re lieved the congestion of cars at Mott Haven yards of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad which resulted from the strike of the com pany's firemen and freight handlers. The embargo has not by any means been raised, however, as the yards are even now practically filled with cars. many of which have been there for several days. The railroad officials said to-day that they expected the work to continue uninterruptedly from this time on and they look for steady improvement ill the situation That the conditions with which they have to contend are more discouraging, how. ever, is admitted. Not only are the strikers doing constant missionary work among the non-union workers themselves, but they have succeeded in enlisting the sympathy of the residents of the entire neighborhood to great extent. So successfully have the strik-
 CTS worked in this direction that the question of providing food. drink and lodging for the non-uniOn men has be- come one of the most serious which the company has to confront A wO- man in WeStcheSter who had agreed with the company to furnish food for all the men employed in the yards, at the solicitation of the strikers has
 abandoned the contract and the com pany is said to have been unable thus far to renew 1t. At the same time storekeepers and others have raised the prices of necessities to almost un-
 heard of attitudes where the prospect i've customer is a strike breaker. As a result it is practically impossible for the new men or their representatives to purchase anything in the vicinity of the yards.
 At the piers along the rivers where the freight for the sound steamers is handled, there was no noticeable change in conditions from yesterday, In all quarters work was proceeding in an orderly manner and the company officials expressed themselves well sat isfied with the situation.
 At the office of General Superintend- ent Shepard of the New Haven road
 IoTudJ, AL WdS Stdleu IHdL IfelSuC was being handled in very satisfactory way at all the companys transfer points in the city. According to the announcement made at MT Shepard's office, normal conditions prevail with the exception that no perishabIe freight is being handled. This class of freight will be accepted Monday, how ever, when it is expected that it can be handled without delay Many appli- cations for work are being received and all the new men that can be used to advantage are employed

M'LANE
 CONFESSES COlOred Youth Owns Up to Assault.
New Haven Police Think He Committed all of the Mysterious Assaults Name of the Young Wo- man in the Case.

New Haven, May 2S.-A further confession was made today by Will liam McLane, the colored youth who was arrested last night and admitted that he was the author of an attack on q young woman in Canal street early in the week. The police now believe that McLane committed all the three assaults which have stirred the residents of the fashionable section of the city in the neighborhood of Whit ney avenue and Prospect street of late. Under searching examination by the police to-day, McLane con fessed that he was the assailant of Miss Richards, daughter of Professor Charles F. Richards of Yale univers- fty. He steadily denied, however, that he knew anything about the as- sault on Augusta Peterson. the domes- tic in the employ of Professor Yandell Henderson
 The prisoner said last night in ex- planation of the Canal street assault that he was drunk at the time and didn't know what he was doing. To- day he said he was subject to epileptic fits. Physicians who have examined him believe that he is victim of what they term alcoholic epilepsy.
 McLane was arraigned to-day on a formal charge of breach of the peace and his case continued until June 4
 To-day for the first time the police learned the name of the young woman whom McLane attacked in Canal street. At the time of the assault she declined to reveal her identity, saying that unless the men were captured she would not subject herself to pub licity in connection with the affair To-day, after the arrest of McLane be- came known, the police received tel ephone message saying that the young woman was Miss Mary E. Flanagan, living in Lake place and employed in the store of her brother on Humphrey street. The message came from her brother who said Miss Flanagan was willing to appear if necessary when the case came to trial.

 ffcCIelIan's, Chauffeur

New York, May 2S.-A bicycle police man, with no regard for the majesty of the mayors chauffeur, has arrested that Individual for exceeding the speed limit. The policeman was given pretty chase before he overhauled the automobile. The chauffeur was on his way to meet the mayor at a Fifth ave- nue restaurant He was late and dashed at high speed past the guardian of the law, who gave chase for several blocks with the dust flying in his face When the chauffeur attempted to ex- plain that the chief executive of Great CT New YorkWas to be seriously incon- venienced by his misadventure the pe- liceman scented a plot to escape and, refusing to be drawn into it, hauled his prisoner off to the station house. When the alleged law-breaker had about come to the conclusion that he was locked up for the night, a friend of the mayor appeared and bailed him out.

Mayor Elton should turn the atten, tion of his street cleaing brigade tA the condition of things at the big elm tree at Grand and Bank streets which was intended to be converted into Q beauty spot and could easily be made so, but of late it has been converted into kind of dumping ground and at times half a dozen cans filled with dirt Sweppings from the streets. are piled around there. The place should be cleaned up, the old standpipe taken up and put some other place and as much of the square as will not be needed for street purposes converted into neat little park, not something to look at, but breathing spot that will be useful as well as ornamental The papers have been referring to if as Blakeslee square, but the public will not care what the officials call 1t pro vided they get 1t in shape so that it will be little more slightly than it is at the present time. Somebody sug- gested that the comfort station be To- cated there, but as this is doomed fO be thrust into the basement of City hall building, where few will ever find it out, steps should be taken to c0nvert the other place to some use besides Au1h1HS h SldAu VI IL LOt Se1iAc Ots LII " street cleanings- Another thing in thA same neighborhood which will soon demand attention is the widening Of Cottage place, west side from Grand street to the end of the postoffice lot so that the street will be uniform width of forty feet as far as it IS open to the public. This is an obligation the city assumed before the govern- ment bought the site for the new building. Both these projects demand immediate attention and the work should be completed as soon at least as the new postoffice is ready for oc- cupancy.

BRYAN AT DALLAS.
Five Thousand People Listened to "Democracy.s Opportunity, Address

Dallas, Tex. May 2S.-In response to all invitation of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic club, William J. Bryan last night delivered an address upon Dem ocracy's Opportunity, speaking to an audience of about 5000 people, which at times manifested marked enthusi- asm. The address differed but little from Mfr Bryan's Chicago address un> der the same title. He suggested that democracy should emulate the example of the old Christian martyrs, a thought which arose within him, he said, when he looked upon the Coliseum and cen- sidered that if the early Christians had recanted, instead of suffering Chris tianity would have perished instead of triumphing. The reorganizegs, he de- clared. had they been present, would have advised these Christians to take it all back.
 What we need to-day in this coun- try" Mir Bryan said. Sis democracy that makes us willing, not to hold office. but to sacrifice our convictions. We need to love our democracy and if need be, to die for ii"

REFUSED TO ANSWER.
E. U. Lathrop Would Not Answer
 O'NeiIrs Questions.

Edwin U. Lathrop was in very seri- ous predicament for half an hour yes terday, in connection with the suit for maintenance brought against him by his wife some time ago. Dispositions by the score have been obtained from MT Lathrop's friends to be used in sup port of his side of the case when it reaches court Yesterday Attorney O'Neill, counsel for Mrs Lathrop, who is supposed to be living in New York, began taking dispositions for her side of the matter. He began with MT Lathrop, summoning him to appear be fore Justice of the Peace Church in the latter's office at o'clock.
 Mir Lathrop was on haid at the ap- pointed time, but without counsel. This was regarded as rather peculiar fn view of Judge Burpee having con ducted the matter for him since the beginning, taking all the dispositions and doing other and considerable work in the case.
 MT Lathrop was on hand at the ap- questions asked him. and it is believed that he did this on advice of his attof- ney. His refusal to answer surprised Attorney O'Nei!l Mir O'Neill asked Justice Church to inform MT Lathrop of the consequences of his refusal to answer questions. and the Justice told him he would have to take trip to jail for contempt of court if he insist ed on a negative course. MT Lathrop still refused. but after some discussion a s to his action in the case he admitted that one reason why he did not wish to answer was that he was unprepared and without counsel and if he were given a week to consider he would probably answer any question asked him then. A postponement was not pleasing to Attorney O'Neill, yet he did not insist on going ahead with the in o,1fry or having Mir Lathrop committed on account of his social standing. so the matter was adjourned to next Wed nesday afternoon.

ARE NOT DISTURBED.

Tokio, May 2s, 10 a. n.-The Japan csc are not seriously disturbed by the Russian operations in eastern Korea. The movements of the Cossack caval- ry and battery of guns that accompan- ies them is being closely watched by the Japanese who are confident in their ability to protect their communi- cations and maintain the military SUI premacy of Japan in Korea. The Yalli victory which opened the Yalu estuary to water communications diminished the importance of the line of communi- cations from Chinampho to Wiju. The loss of their naval power compels the Russians to avoid the sea along the eastern coast of Korea and limits their operations to the land where transpor- tation difficulties prevent the concen- tration and operation ofs large land forces.
