Men at vagenfuchu.
Liao-Yang. June 2.-The japanese
lost 200 killed and number of. horses
in the fight at Yangenfuchu. The
Russians opened fire at insthe morn
Ing, and after two hours and half OF
long-range firing the japanese, under
General Akkiama, prepared to charge
and crush the force which had been
harassing them for twenty-one days
Meantime General Samsohoff was ap-
preaching Vagenfuchu with a strong
force Of cavalry.
1t was a sight worth seeing when.
at the word of command, the Rus
sian squadrons formed and rushed like
a whirlwind across the terribly cut up
country, clearing away all obstacles,
the batteries at the same time trotting
along the frightful roads. Having
passed the railroad station, the troops
came under the fire of the Japanese
machine guns. but withdrew without
suffering much loss.
The Fourth and Sixth companies OF
the Eighth Siberian Cossacks furious
ly charged the japanese cavalry with
lances. attacking both TANKS In few
minutes they literally cut the whole
squadron into pieces. This was the
first time lances were used, and they
struck terror into the enemy. In some
cases the lances pierced the riders
through and wounded their horses.
Some Of the lances could not be with
drawn from the bodies they had en-
tered.
A Cossack who had lost his lance
| and sword wrenched sword from a
Japanese officer and cut off the off,
GERS head. The Cossacks picked up
boots which had been taken OF by
the Japanese to facilitate their flight
| and aourished them on their lances as
trophies.

indianapolis, June 2. Mrs. +.
Metzger. of 1112 Southeastern avenue,
told Desk Sergeant Crane that a wo-
man whom she thought to be poor
widow with three children called at
her home and told story Of hard
ships and restitution, and then offered
some soap for sale. Mrs. Metzger was
thoroughly impressed with the wom-
ans story and she determined to do
something to assist her. She said she
deprived her own family In order to
get a basket of provisions and other
articles for the poor woman and her
three helpless children"
She took the basket to the home OF
the woman IN South Noble street. She
said she was admitted into comfort
ably furnished home by a colored
woman, who was doing the family
washing. The woman she was in
search of was still in bed. Mrs. Metz

Kills the arbitration" Law.

Jefferson City, No., June 3.-The
Missouri supreme court has decided
that the state board of arbitration has
no power to punish witnesses for con-
tempt who refuse to testify before it.
The law gave the circuit court power
to punish witnesses who refuse to tes-
tify before the board, and the supreme
court says this section of the law is
unconstitutional. This, it is said, prac-
tically destroys the law.

and was regared as one of the most
progressive superintendent in the
state. He was Deputy State Super
intendent for six years, four years un-
der David M. Geeting and two under
Frank L. Jones. He gave up this office
to do some work which he had long
contemplated He entered Butler col
lege and took his bachelors degree.
Then he went at once to- the Univer-
sity of Chicago and took his masters
degree. During these years he placed
special stress upon educational prob
lens, and his wide experience in
school work made this study very
profitable. AS a result he came to the
Office in March, 1903, admirably
equipped to direct the educational
work of the state. He set for himself
high standard of excellence and
mapped out the work he hoped to &C.
complish. Mindful of the great adj
vance that had been made by. his pre-
decessors, he proposed to do his work
so well that at the end of his term
he would leave the educational affairs
of Indiana not only as good as he
found them, but better. SO far he has
made good what he proposed to do.
He is. interested in every phase of
education. He proposes that every
boy and girl in the state shall have a
chance at education and that city,
town and country children shall have
equal opportunity. He proposes that
the profession of teaching shall be put
upon higher plane. He has done
everything possible to have the state
creditably represented at the st. Louis
fair, and it is believed that visitors
will find splendid exhibit.
Mr.. Cotton is a man of tireless en-
ergy and has led strenuous life dur
ing his present term. He knows the
needs of the state and he knows how
to do things. With all this the best
thing that can be said of Mr. Cotton
is that he is genuine. Those who
know him recognize in him man to
whom educational interests in Indiana
can safely be trusted.

think any man will be convicted"
Judge Wilson said: ut seems that
the earth has been secured. Some
thing has to happen before the crime
can be fastened upon any one"
Other Reports Are Different.
In spite of the judges and mayors
remarks it is reported that important
evidence has been discovered. Several
prominent women of Bedford were
summoned and Sheriff Smith started

Palmer's 'clew of any merit. Deputy
Prosecutor Stephenson said that in his
opinion nothing had developed that
would warrant calling an extra SEES
