DENVER'S AUDITORIUM.
Measure Is Attacked by Judge Mooes
Aallett.

Denver. Aug 24-Federal Judge
Moses Hallett has asked the District
Court for an injunction restraining the
city officials from building an audito-
rum. He will also test the legality OF
the proposed bond issue.
In his capacity as executor and trus-
tee of the George W. Clayton estate.
Judge Hallett on Monday filed the Pc
tition that will tie up the bond issue
and stop the city officials from going
further in providing Denver with an
auditorium until the long legal con
test is fought out.
Attorneys Macbeth & May acted
for Judge Hallett filing the petition in
the District Court yesterday after
noon
The application and complaint are
sweeping in their nature. They deny
the power of the city officials to issue
bonds and build the auditorium under
the new charter. They insist that the
city can undertake no such obligation
The petition alleges that the Clayton
estate will be greatly damage by the
excessive taxes which the undertaking. g
would necessitate. and that many
other taxpayers are in similar posi-
tion.

PURE FOOD LAW.
It is Constantly Broken by unscrupu-
Ious lmposters.

Washington, Aug. PA chemical
laboratory for the examination OF i'm
ported food products will be opened in
the appraisers stores building OF the
Treasury Department in New York by
the Department of Agriculture Septem-
ber 5th. Five expert chemists will be
installed, having been selected
through special examinations by the
civil service commission. This is the
first of a number of laboratories to be
established to prevent impure food,
the product of foreign countries, en-
tering the United States. Congress
will be asked for appropriations for
such laboratories at Boston, Philadel-
phia, New Orleans, San Francisco and
Chicago. The foreign pure food law
has been in force more than year
and is regarded as beyond the expert
mental stage.
DR.. H. W. Wiley. chief Of the bureau
of chemistry of the Department
Agriculture, declares that it is the in
tention of the department now ito put
the screws on" Eighty per cent OF
the importations of food arrive at New
York. Samples from each cargo here
after will be taken direct from the ap-
praiser to the laboratory, obviating the
delay of requesting samples by the
secretary of agriculture and the trans
mission of these samples to Washing
ton for analysis.
When the pure food law first was
nut into operation it was found that
seventy-eight per cent of the imports
of food and drinks were admissible
under it's provisions. Many cargoeS
have been re-shipped out of the coun-
try as impure, resulting in raising the
standard of imports until now it is es-
timated that eighty-tive per cent. OF
the imports are admissible under the
law.
The secretary of agriculture has
lust granted the first request of an i'm
porter to destroy his cargo instead OF
re.shipping it after it had been con
demned as impure, the cargo beng
olive oil.
The secretary OF agriculture is
awaiting an Interpretation of portion
Of the law which, it is believed, Will
exclude entirely the Importation OF
sausages from Germany. The law eX-
cludes articles from entry into the
United States from foreign countries
which prohibit the importation ol
SuCn dTllCleS. HeIuiduy pl '
importation of sausage, and should tne
attorney general construe the law as
1t Is believed he will in this respect
it will be enforced against German
sausages. y
DR.. Wiley declares that there is mol
barrel of pure Scotch whisky in the
! United States and that the impor'a
| tions of this article are practically al.
connections and should be labeled

Disabled WarSnips,

Nladivostok. Aug. 23.-The Gromo-
boi and the Rossia present shattered
appearance. Their smokestacks show
great rents. while their masts. bridges
and ventilators look Ike sieves. and
there are marks OF battle everywhere.
Guns are dismantled. boats shattered
and there are enormous holes in the
cruisers hulls through which man
could easily pass. Many OF the cabins
were completely wrecked.
Some of the Japanese shells per-
formed queer actions. On the Rossia
a shell burst in a clothes cupboard.
Garments therein We're torn to shreds
but a mirror was not scratched. Pho
tographs and knicknscks on a writing
, table near by We're not disturbed.
In another part of the cruiser the
walls were blackened by the smoke of
a fierce fire in which eight men were
burned alive. yet an almanac on the
wall was not even scorched.
Aboard the Gromoboi shell entered
the wardrobe and wrecked the furni
ture. but parrot cage was untouched.
All the officers are full OF praise for
the coolness and bravery Of the men
who died in the battle without muir
mur Comrades took their places with

work on the upper deck where the

shells striking burst into thousand

Want All Passports Recognized.

ST Petersburg, Aug. 22.-The Unit
ed States government has again form
ally proposed to Russia the opening
of negotiations for the unrestricted
recognition of American passports.
In accordance with the law of the
empire only foreign Jews of specified
classes-merchants having business
connections in the country. etc.-are
allowed to enter Russia but quite a
liberal policy has been pursued in
making exceptions to the rule where
the legitimate reasons therefor are
given.
The exceptions, however, are seldom
made in the cases Of Russian Jews
who have been naturalized abroad
The inhibition is not against the Unit
ed States alone. but extends to the
Jews Of every country.

Lao Yang. Aug. 23-The following
is supplied by a Russian correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
With each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder increases both at
tie persistence OF the japanese attack
and the heroic stubbornness of the de-
tenders OF the fortress. The Japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
Of lives in the hope of shaking the
courage of the Russian troops
Major General Fock says he is con-
fident the fortress cannot be taken, but
that if it is taken the whole japanese
army will have to immediate itself ON
the slopes of the fortitications.
There were five desperate assaults
on Green hills July 26th. the japanese
returning each time with apparently in
eXhaustible reinforcements. On the
final assault, however, the japanese
broke badly, throwing away their guns,
cartridge belts and even their boots, to
facilitate their flight, and leaving 1000
dead or wounded

The assault on Green hills was re-

frequent hand-to-hand encounters, the
Russians leaving the trenches to follow
their enemies.
THE assaults of July 2Sth and 29th
on Wolf hills were not followed up.

en-. We evacuated the Wolf hills chief
ly for strategic purposes, as the hills
made the line of defense too long to eff

of the japanese.
The assault of July 30th was made
in the darkness of night. in the hope
of surprising the Russians. Sixty
thousand men were hurled against 49,
600, but we drove them back again and
again at the point of the bayonet. 1t

The japanese poured in fresh bat

from its position. but the Fourteenth
regiment came up and with the bayo-
net again dislodged the victors.
las near as can be ascertained this
assault cast the japanese 10000 men.
The Japanese losses since the siege be-

| ploson of one mine wiped out 5000.
