Wants a Rehearing.

Judge Hewitt was in Salem yester-
day and made a motion in the case of
the State against Oscar Rogoway for a
rehearing. 1t is contended that a new
trial should have been granted IN the
failure of Judge Burnett to permit the
attorney to have a reasonable time for
argument, limited to one hour on a side,
and that the defendant, as well as at
torneys, had a constitutional right to
be heard at sufficient length to present
so important a case.

On the Pugilistic Calendar.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 23.-Jack Nc
Clelland and Loudon Campbell have
completed their training and appear to
be in fine fettle for their six-round
bout tonight. The match has attracted
more attention in sporting circles than
any pugilistic event that has been
pulled off hereabouts in a long timeI
This is due largely to the fact that
McClelland and Campbell have been ri
walls for years and their meeting is e&-
pected to result in a lively battle.

FOR STAY OF MANDATE
APPLICATION TO APPELLATE
COURT IN P. o. CONSPIRACY CASE.

Attorneys Charles A. Douglass and
Samuel Maddox of this city and John F.
kumler of Toledo Ohio, were at the city
hall today, but up to late hour this
afternoon no papers in the Lorenz- Machen-
Croft case had been filed with the clerk of
the Court of Appeals.
Counsel have decided to apply to the
Court of Appeals for stay of its mandate
pending action by the Supreme. Court of
the United States on the application which
they have annouced they viii make for q
writ Of certiorari to have that court review
the decision of the Court of Appeals.
Under the practice the mandate would
go down from the Court of Appeals to the
trial court after fifteen days from the
rendition of the opinion of the appellate
court, and the purpose in staying the man
date is to provide time for a compliance
with the rules requiring notice of two
weeks to the adverse party, together with
service of copies of the papers in connec-
tion with the application for the writ of
certiorari. If a stay of the mandate should
be allowed by the Court of Appeals, in
all probability it will be, the defendants
will have an opportunity before the man.

cation and secure from the highest tribunal

TO PROTECT INDIANS.
improvements Proposed Regarding
Sale and Lease Of Lands.

The annual report of Mr.. J. George
Wright, Indian inspector for Indian terri
tory, was made public today by the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. Mr.. Wright has been
in Washington for several weeks past on
business with the department and Con-
gress regarding the work of his Office in
Indian territory. In his report he says:
''The matter of most Importance generally
in the Indian territory at the present time
and causing the most comment and un-
favorable criticism, is the selling and
leasing of Indian lands,
1T is generally coneeaed thht many
leases are at the present ,fiIoe made 4or an
inadequate consideration and the Tndians
imposed upon, but there is no law re-
quiring leases of this character to be sub
mitted for the approval of any authority
Under all the circumstances, therefore, If
leases were required to be first Submitted
to and approved by some proper officer, 1t
would have the desired effect OF protecting
the interests of both the lessee and the
lessor, avoid the uncertainty as to litiga-
ton, and correct many existing evils
which result to the detriment. of the In
dian.
I'm view Of the success of the present
method adopted by the department in sell
ing Creek lands by sealed bids, the ad-
visibility of securing legislation which
would authorize similar procedure in the
other nations is respectfully suggested.

TORPEDO OPERATIONS.
Togo's Report to Tokyo Of Attacks on
the Seyastopol

TOKYO December 19-Vice Admiral To-
gc's report upon the torpedo operations
against the Russian turret ship Sevasto-
pol was received today. 1t says:
"On the night of December IA our torpedo
notillas made a gallant and brave series OF
attacks against the Russian turret ship Sc
Vsstopol.
'"rhe fiotillas arrived outside the entrance
to Port Arthur about midnight on mat
date. The leading fotilla. under Con-
mander Unchida. and a special torpedo
boat, partly for attack and partly 10 re-
conroiter. approached the Sevastopol at
l o'clock and under the searchlights aaG
fire of the enemys ships and shore bat
teres they attacked her.
"A shell struck Commander Mitamura
torpedo boat and four shots hit Comman-
Ger Nakamuta's boat. wounding thfee
sailors.
subsequently our flotillas attacked, act
ing independently.
commander Otakrs fiotilla approached
the closest and delivered the most vigorous
attack.
while retreating one torpedo boat re-
ceived several shot simultaneously. her
commander. Lieut. Nakahori. and hve
Others being killed. The boat lost her free
dom OF motion, and Lieut.. Nakahara's boat
went to the rescue, and, despite the heavy
Are. endeavored to save her While towing
the boat the enemy's shells severed the
hit and one man killed. Subsequently sew
eral shells hit and almost disabled Lieut..
Nakaharas boat, forcing him to abandon
his comrade ship, which was sinking. Lieut.
Nakahara, however. steamed back. rescued
the crew and abandoned the torpedo boat
to- her fate.
Commander Kawase's boat, belonging to
the same fiotilla, was struck by SHE'LL
killing one of the crew and wounding Lieut..
Takahashi and two sailors.
Lieut.. Shonos boat was hit and one
nf hA DAl and Gt.A .1NI rfxn
boat was temporarily disabled, but his
comrade ships. with Lieuts. Wataeabe and
Mori, commanding. protected and rescued
her. All the other boats. bravely facing
the enemy's fire, succeeded In delivering at
tacks without suffering any damage.
The result of their attacks Is not def
nitely known. although il liz evident that
numerous torpedoes took effect.
The watch tower. reporting on the fol-
lowing morning. said that the Sevastopol
had lowered at the bows considerably,
facing toward south-southeast. Her condi-
ton is such that she does not change her
position In the current. She Is anchored
close inshore. In shallow water.
1t is a source OF satisfaction that our tor
pedo attacks were delivered without the
slightest confusion. Each boat rendered
material assistance TO its comrades The
skilful maneuvering and bravery of the
officers and men inspires me with deep
feeling of satisfaction and confidence"

FIGHTING WAS TERRIFIC.
Reports of 2O3-Meter Hill Fight Not
arperated-Terrible Losses.

CHEFOO. December ia Japanese
camp follower who saw portion OF the
lighting at 203-Meter hill and who arrived
here from Dalny today, says that Com
mander Mizzeneoff's description of the
fighting is not exaggerated.
He believes. however that the Russian
losses were heavier than stated by Con-
mander Mizzeneoff. as the Russians re-
peatedly brought up reinforcements until
it seemed that the entire garrison must
have been in that section.
The Russian dead. he said, were in
dscriminately mingled with the heaps OF
Japanese dead. The slope of 2O3-Meter hill
being very steep and smooth the Japanese
prepared for their advance by shelling the
hillside.
The shells in exploding followed out
footholds In some instances the Japanese
found protection behind the heaps of tnair
own dead
