as the Gibraltar of the Far East.
Vladivostok is known to be better
equipped as a naval base and to have
greater docking and repairing re-
sources than Port Arthur, but doubts
are expressed as to the character of
its defenses. Russia has been settled
there for forty years and it is conse-
quently considered likely that the de-
fenses and guns at this place are of a
somewhat obsolete character. 1t is
understood that during the past few
years all the available new guns and
war material which it was possible
to send on the single line of the Trans
Siberian Railroad have been used for
the strengthening of Port Arthur and
points in Manchuria, leaving Vladivo-
stok with old type guns of short range.
1t is reported that Vladivostok is i'll
supplied with provisions and neces-
saries.
Dispatches from Toxic speak of the
sacrifices being made by the Japanese
nation. According to the Daily Chron-

RUSSIANS STRONGLY POSTED.
According to the Chefu correspond
ent of the Morning Post it is expected
that the Japanese will reach the left
bank of the Lower Yalu about March
10. A large force Of Russians Is strongly
entrenched on the hills in the Antung
district, adjacent and parallel to the
river. Their position is similar to that
which the Beers held on the Tugela
River.

says a Japanese squadron took pos

it is very likely several other ships

From statements made by members
of the crew, it is believed that the fire
originated in the sail locker. After de-

$4,000, the flames spread forward OF the
foremast to the stem. The vessel Is
burned a distance Of about forty feet.

SCHEME OF A MOB.

At l0:z5 the police said there was
nothing more to fear and they with
other officials and newspaper men
passed freely in and out of the jail.
Shortly before IL o'clock a diversion
was made. a small crowd moving
around to the south entrance. The DO
Ice followed and a bluff was made at
5ostling them off the steps leading I'D TO
the south entrance. The crowd at this
point kept growing. while yells of

spersed with revolver shots
All this time a party with a heavy

assault on the iron turnstile to the
cells.
The police from the south door were
called inside to help keep the mob from
the cells and in five minutes the south
door had shared the fate of the east
one.
Seeing that further resistance was
useless and the injury of innocent per-
sons useless the authorities consented
TO the demand Of the mob for the right
man. sFIe was dragged from his cell 10

steps TO the jail yard.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March IA
mob Of 500 men gathered at the County
jail tonight with the avowed purpose
OF lynching Richard Dixon of Gym
thiana, KY, a negro, who shot Police
man Charles Collins yesterday.
At s:SI Sheriff Floyd Routzahan ap-
peared on the Jail steps and pleaded
with the mob to disperse, but he could
be heard with difficulty. His appeal
was inefectuaL and he was compelled
TO go within.
At IL O'Clock Dixon was taken from
the Jail and shot to death in the Jail
yard and the body was taken from
there 10 the corner Of Main street and
Fountain avenue and hung high TO
telegraph pole, where the mob spent
the next half-hour riddling the body
with bullets from several hundred re-
volvers. The mob forced an entrance
70 the Jail by butting in the east doors
with a railroad iron.
At 1920 the mob melted away rapidly
and ii was the general opinion that no
more attempts would be made TO force
an entrance.
Collins was shot by Dixon Sunday
morning while the latter was in his
room in a hotel here removing his
baggage. He had decided to quit the
place and, fearing trouble with Anna
Corbin, woman with whom he was
acquainted. Dixon asked Collins to go
10 the hotel with him. While in his
room Dixon and Miss Corbin quarreled
and Dixon is said to have shot her in
the breast. The policeman then at
tempted TO arrest Dixon, when the lat
ter. fired into the officers body, infict-

The Holy City
Written for The Jewish Outlook.
A. D. Diamond.


A. D. Diamond.
Jerusalem, the holy city, is situated
near mountain range dividing the
Mediterranean sea and the Jordan. Its
most elevated part, Zion, forms a sub
ject Of the greatest Importance, not only
to the Jews, but to the Christian and
Mohammedan as we'll. This spot it was
that formed the subject of so many of
David's psalms, and this spot it is that
now bears the tomb of this national hero.
Another important spot Of the holy city
is Mount Moriah. It was to this noun
tain that Abraham went to sacrifice his
son Isaac, and this same mountain after
wards bore the holy temple of the Jews
The name of the city, Jerusalem, is
probably derived from the two Hebrew
words ''Jerush' and "Shalem," the in
depreciation Of which is, the 'founda-
ton of peace.
For a long time after Abraham Wis
tied Mount Moriah, the history of Je
rusalem is not of a very great import
ance. The first mention after this
event is at the conquest Of Canaan un-
der Joshua. In this conquest, it is said,
that the sun and the moon at the COM
mand of Joshua delayed their course, in
order to render the victory more COM
plete. After the death Of Joshua Jeru-
salem was besieged by the Hebrews and
burned, but, according to some histor-
ians, the stronghold Of Zion was not
touched, only what is called the lower
city was burned.
About 400 years after the conquest Of
Jerusalem by Joshua, David came to the
throne Of Israel at Hebron; and in the
seventh year of his reign undertook the
capture of Jerusalem. The citizens, re-
lying upon their supposed impregnable
position, derided David's attempt,
shouting that the blind and the lame
would alone be sufficient to defend it,
David, however, called for volunteers to
storm the walls, promising to make him
who should first scale the defense his
general in chief This offer was ac-
cepted by Joab, who, with large army,
succeeded in the assault. Being in pos
session of the fortress, David strength
ened it's walls, and erected for himself
a palace, which from this time on was
denominated the City Of David. After
the death of David his son, Solomon,
became king of Israel Under him Je-
rusalem was further enlarged and forti-
fed, and raised to a height Of splendor

ana Opulence, SURPRISING, pfODaDly, dC
that time all the cities Of the world. The
crowning work of Solomon was the
building Of the temple on Mount Moriah.
Mount Moriah made doubiy mem
orable as the scene Of Abraham s faith
and of Gods sparing mercy, was chosen
as the site Of the temple. In this great
work Solomon was aided by the vast
preparation which his father has made
for it, and by the workmen and mater
ials furnished him by the king Of Tyre
The sacred edifce thus constructed was
alike the glory Of the nation and the
wonder of the world and it's dedication
forms a subject of deep meditation to
the Jews even at the present day.
Under Rehoboam, the son of Solomon,
not only did ten of the tribes revolt and
set up the rival kingdom of Israel, but
Jerusalem itself was taken and plum
dered by Shishack, king Of Egypt. In
this same way Jerusalem was sacked six
times, the last being under the COM
mand of Nebuchadnezzar who finally
burned the city and the temple, demol-
ished the walls and carried away all but
a few of the poorest of the people as
captives.
About fifty-two years after this event
King Cyrus issued decree authorizing
the return of the Jews and the rebuild
ing Of the temple. The remnant Of the
nation that accepted the offer numbered
about $4,000 persons. Many obstacles,
however, impeded their undertaking,
and it was twenty years before the new
temple was completed and dedicated
and seventy years more before the re-
building of the walls was finished.
The next event of any Importance is
the conquest Of Jerusalem by Antiochus
Epiphanes, king of Syria. This cruel
tyrant had obtained the possession of
Juda from among the conquests of his
father Antiochus the Great, and selling
the high priesthood to a creature of his
own, he undertook to abolish the Jewish
religion, and even to exterminate the ma
ton. He carried off great numbers of
the people as slaves, robbed the temple
of all it's treasures abolished the daily
sacrifices, and forbade under the penalty
of death the observance Of the Sabbath
and circumcision. Not being content
with all this, he dedicated the temple to
Jupiter. These outrages kindled the pa
triotic indignation Of the brave Macca-
bean family, and after long series of
conflicts the tyrant was defeated and
driven out from Palestine by Judah
Maccabee. After this the independence
of the nation was maintained for about

Judge Dole this afternoon overruled a
motion to direct a verdict for the de-

The motion was based largely on the
ground that no proof had been made
that the missing vouchers, alleged to
have been DESTROYED had ever existed.
The court said that Meheula's admis-
sions were evidence of such fact and
that the case should go to the jury.
