FOR MINISTER

done with Hinshaw's revolver. Hin
shaw had been slashed with his own
razor-there was not anything on
which an investigation could be
based.
Hope was given to the convicted
mans friends about three years ago
when a notorious burglar who had
been confined in the Michigan City
prison made an alleged confession in
which he stated that he was a men,
Der of a gang that entered the Hin
shaw home on the night of the crime
and that they perpetrated the muir
der of Mrs. Hinshaw and the assault
on the minister. This led to a re-
opening Of the celebrated case. Hin
shaw was brought back from prison
and the man who made the confession
was brought to Indianapolis and sub
jected to rigid cross-examination
After the fullest investigation the
authorities were convinced that the
confession was a pure fake concocted
for the purpose of obtaining notori-
ETY. or a possible release from the
term of Imprisonment he was then
serving. Hinshaw was returned to
the penitentiary. where he remained
until last fall, when he was given a
60-day parole by Governor Durbin,
that he might visit his aged mother
who was then thought to be on her
deathbed.

SPOKANE IS GROWING

and in hard times another class
comes, but Spokane Is benefited by
all of them"
Spokane's population is increasing
with steady strides. Several thou
sand additional people are found in
the city each year.
Present prospects indicate an enor-
nous crop In the Inland Empire this
year. Probably both the yield and
the acreage will be the greatest in
the history of the state. Prospects
for good prices also are bright. This
makes Spokane's prosperity assured.
Besides this, the other resources of
| the country tributary to Spokane are
in at least fair condition and some
of them are looking better than for
some time. The prospects for the
lumber business are better than they
have been and mining In some of
the camps Is on n better foundation
than for two or three years.
! This accounts for the fact that the
business depression felt In other
and for the fact that buildings are
being erected in every part of tho city
and find eager tenants.
The population has increased about
80 per cent according to the school
| census.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-06-28

Strangers who visit Spokane are
surprised at the building In progress
and at the business prosperity. No
city on the coast and few, If any,
anywhere are making the Roadway
that Spokane is. Other cities report
a quiet" year. Spokane is in fair
way not only to have good year,
but there is now every Indication
that the building record for 1904
will far surpass the record for every
other year.
People often are surprised at the
manner in which new buildings fill,
while at the same time there Is no
decrease in the demand for quarters
in the older buildings.
THAT is the way 1t has been ever
since Spokane was founded" said an
old timer today. Whenever there
has been building in Spokane people
have wondered who will occupy the
new buildings and they still are ask
ing the same questions. But every
building is occupied as fast as it is
erected and I suppose it will con-
tinue so.
THE fact is. II Is the continual
growth of the country, steadily year
after year, which is responsible for
the growth of Spokane. In prosperous
times one class Of people comes west

PORT ARTHUR MAY LAST
AS LONG AS SEVASTOPOL

nearly spring that proper clothing and
means of shelter were sent out from
Europe. And the food supplies also ran
low.
Next spring and the following sum
mer. the siege still continued but with
increasing vigor. Trenches were dug
to within rs or 80 feet of the forti-
cations and several assaults were
made Intellectually.
At last on September 8, 1885, the
final assault was ordered. The French
troops occupied the Malakoff, one of
the principal forts, by charge, but the
English troops who attacked the Redan
a similar fort, We're repulsed. But with
the Malakof in the hands of the
French the position became untenable
and on the night of September g. the
Russian feet was burned in the har-
Dor and the hulke scuttled
With the fall of Sevastopol the
Chimean war drew to an end and
peace was soon declared.
One of the great differences between
the Seyastopol and Port Arthur situa
ton has been the greater remoteness
Of Port Arthur from the main Russian
forces. Not only has Kuroki fanked
any possible reinforcements, as the
English and French were never able
to do in the Crimena war, but Oku
has so effectually occupied the strip
of land north of Port Arthur that it
would take counter siege to get him
out.
Another point is the greater super
iority of modern weapons over those of
90 years ago. The French and English
had abandoned muskets but were using
muzzle-loading rifles. There were no
armored warships of any kind and the
artillery was of comparatively small
caliber.
Before Sevastopol the French and
English each had 10000 men and later
Sardinia sent 10000 men. The Russian
garrison at the beginningof the siege
consisted of $3.50 electives, which is
about the size of the present garrison
of Port Arthur. At the time of the
Sevastopol siege, the principal of long
range converging fire was practically
unknown. Today heavy guns placed in
wide circle can practical annihiliate
any given object in the middle on
which they can all concentrate. In the
old days, attack and defense was on
parallel lines only.
In the first assault on Scvastopol
the French lost 1867 men, the English

| INDIANAPOLIS, June 2s.-The
| principal matter before the quarterly
| meeting Of the board of pardons in
| session at the capitol today is a
| strong petition for the pardon of
William E. Hinshaw, the Methodist
| minister who is serving a life sem
tence In the state prison at Michf-
gan City for the murder of his wife.
The petition is signed by persons of
prominence and influence throughout
the state and strong hopes are ex-
pressed that it may result in the re-
lease of the convicted man.
The Hinshaw murder Is one of the
remarkable crimes in Indiana his
tory, and, although Hinshaw was
convicted. and the supreme court APP
proved the finding OF the trial court.
there are many persons who con-
tinue to believe Hinshaw innocent of
the crime.
The murder occurred at Belleville,
Hendricks county, a few miles south
of Danville, about a. m, January
10, 1895. Hinshaw's story was that
burglars got into the house, and that
he and his wife had desperate fight
with them. Mrs. Hinshaw was found
dead on the back steps of the parson-
age. where they lived. and Hinshaw
was slashed Is times with a razor and
shot twice.
The trial occupied five weeks, the
theory of the prosecution being that
Hinshaw and his wife quarreled over
another woman; that Mrs. Hinshaw
threw herself down on the bed and
was shot by her husband. who in
flicted the wounds on himself to carry
out the burglar story; that he carried
her to the place where she was found
and then gave the alarm.
After the penitentiary doors had
closed on Hinshaw his friends and
relatives hired Pinkerton detectives
in an effort to run down the alleged
burglars and thereby prove the inno-
cence of the convicted man. After
working for several weeks without
accomplishing anything the detect
ives informed those interested in the
case that 1t was useless to search
further for the robbers; that there
was not the slightest clew from
which to start. The killing had been

LONDON, June Eff the seige Of
Port Arthur is to be similar to that
Of Sevastopol, it will be wen into next
June before the big Manchurian for
tress falls.
The events which led up to the
seige of Sevastopol were in many ways
like those which led up to the present
siege. In the former case, however
there was much more complicated cause
of war, which originally was between
Russia and Turkey, and ended up by
being between Russia on one side and
England and France and the kingdom
of Sardinia on the other.
Russia's ambitions and aggression
were the prime cause of the Crimean
war; as they were Of the present war
but Turkey was not, like Japan, able
to fight it out alone. When England
and France took hold of it, they, like
Japan, secured command of the sea.
The Russian fleet Of that day, con-
sisting of Is old-fashioned sailing line
of-battleships, numerous frigates and
brigs and only one big steam war
vessel, took refuge in the then exist
ing strongest Russian fortress. Sevas-
topol. The French and English fleets
held command of the Black sea, but
coud not feel secure as long as the
Russian ships were in being.
The obvious course, therefore, was
to land an army and capture the fleet
from shore.
The troops were sent out in the
month of September, 1854, and it was
the general expectation that they
would have a walk-over and win be-
fore Christmas. But there was no such
intelligent plan of campaign as that
worked out by Generals Oku and ku,
roki. Instead of threatening the re-
mote Russian rear, as Kuroki has done
they concentrated all their army in the
neighborhood of Sevastopol, so that,
throughout the siege, they were con-
tinuallv threatened by armies sent to
the relief of the fortress. and at no
time were they able to close thorough
ly the Russian line of communication
Instead of falling before Christmas
Sevastopol, at that time, appeared as
strong as ever. and the besiegers had
to sit down for winter campaign
A terrific hurricane swept over the
English and French camps in November
blew away practically all the tents and
even stripped the beddins off patients
in the hospitals. Bitterly cold weather
at once set in and the suffering of the
troops was intense. 1t was not until
