INSIST THE JAPANESE
MUTILATE RUSSIANS

st. Petersburg, July 1.-The Journal
De st. Petersburg. the semi-official
organ of the Foreign Office prints this
morning one of it's infrequent edto-
rial articles, dealing with official de-
NAL by the Japanese government of
the reports of the mutilation of Rus
sian wounded. The article says:
"A photograph has been taken by
DR.. Stankevitch of Gen. Mistchneko's
division, showing horribly mutilated
Russians, with hands cut off and
tongues cut out and pierced by thongs.
An officer was found in a pitable con-
dition, but still breathing. He was
restored to consciousness, and said he
had been fired upon deliberately by a
Japanese soldier. His deposition, sign
ed by the Russian authorities and sew
eral military attaches, will soon be in
our possession"
Gen. Romanoff has made a detailed
report upon the subject to the Red
Cross, and Prince Jaime De Bourbon
has furnished testimony regarding the
battle at Vafangow. News has also
come, and has not been denied in the
Japanese accounts, that the Japanese
use lances and have decided to give
no quarter to the Cossacks who fall
into their hands.
I'm the face of such grave facts, we
think an indignant denial will not
suffice to save the Japanese honor. We
have reason to believe that the Japa-
nese massacre and mutilate the wound
ed, but treat well for the eyes of Eu-
rope those remaining after the massa-
creS,"

Che Foo, July 2.-Foreigners who
have reached here from Port Arthur
and Japanese from Port Dalny agree
as to the success Of the Japanese on

Japanese have at last good prospects
of being successful at sea.
Junkmen who have arrived at Port

day yesterday and until noon to-day,
while junkmen who have come in from
Port Arthur report that a portion Of
the Japanese has engaged the enemy
at sea, While the remainder returned 10

STORRS TURNED DOWN.
New Health Ordinance Approved
Over His Protest.

City Physician W. D. Storrs made as
hard q, fight as he could last night before
the ways and means committee to prevent
the reduction of his authority, but he
failed utterly. The ways and means COM
mittee decided that it would be better
to have the board of health in charge of
both the city physician and the city food
inspector, instead of leaving the food in
spector independent and making the city
physician car of the health department
DR.. Storrs endeavored to make 1t ap-
pear that his opposition to the proposed
new ordinances was due wholly to the
additional expense involved in the new
way of organizing the department, but
the committee saw through the scheme
without any difficulty. The only addi-
tiona1 expense necessitated by the new
ordinance is about $120 a year for meet
ings of the board of health. The new or
dinance also gives the board of health
control over the city physician and food
inspector. The provision for regular
meetings of the board is simply to enable
the board to keep track of what the city
physician and food inspector are doing
The board will meet once a month in the
winter and twice month during the five
summer months, a total of II meetings a
year. Heretofore the board has met when
called by the city physician. and he has
called the but a few times, except
since the discussion of the present ordi-
nance has been up. The total number of
ing the year has been five. The old ordi-
nance did not give the president of the
board the right to call meetings. The
new ordinance authorized the board to
employ a city chemist and bacteriolOgist
whenever it is deemed necessary, but it
gives the mayor and city council the
right to terminate the employment of
such persons at any time.
There was no opposition in the commit
tee to any OF the provisions of the ordi-
nance. except the provision for six SAN
itary policemen, which was changed to
read five policemen at the suggestion OF
DIR. L. A. Ryder.
DR.. Storrs attended the meeting with a
lot of record books and was loaded for a
speech He made the speech and the
committee Immediately adopted the ordi-
nance as prepared by the health and san
itation committee.

Washington, March 1.-The investi-

Reed Smoot retaining his seat in the
United States senate will not begin until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. When
Chairman Burrows called the commit
tee to order today, Waldemar Vancott
of Salt Lake, one of the counsel for the
defense, asked for a postponement until
tomorrow on account of the unavoidable
absence of A. s. Worthington of Wash
ington, D. c., who has charge of the
case for Senator Smoot. The attorneys
of the prtestants made no objection to
the continuance for the reason that the
witnesses to be put on the stand in
opening the case had not yet arrived
from Utah. The one witness present
was E. B. Crichlew, former United
States attorney in Utah, who has prose-
cuted a number of cases against Nor
mons. Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Judge Carlisle and former Repre-
sentative Tayler, attorneys for the pros
ecution, were present

ABOUT THE JUSTICES.
Must Be Ele eted in Fall in Second
Glass Cities.

The biennial election amendment to
the constitution adopted two years ago,
seems to have mixed up things con-
siderably. 1t is responsible for a case
now in the supreme court over the ap-
pointment of district judges by Cover
nor Bailey, and now Assistant Attor-
ney General Close holds that it inval-
idates the law providing that cities OF
the second class shall elect their JUS
tees of the peace in the spring. Here
after such cities must hold elections in
the fall to elect their justices the same
as townships do
The old statute provides that cities
of the second class shall be the same
as townships for the election of JUS
tees and constables. but that they
should be elected at the spring NUM-
cipaI elections, along with other city
officers They are considered township
officers however. The new constitution
al amendment provides that hereafter
all township officers shall be elected in
November of even-numbered years. Mr.
Close therefore holds that justices and
constables in cities of the second class
will not be elected at the coming spring
elections, but must be elected in the
fall

EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Assistant Auditor Nation Says They
Esca pc Taxation.

Zone of the most glazing instances OF
corporations escaping taxation under
our present system is the case or the
express companies said j. NJ. Nation,
assistant state auditor.
'aThe express companies are taxed
only on the property which is in sight.
The business they do and the money
they make is not taken into consldera-
ton at all. They are assessed by the
local assessors. All the assessor can do
is to assess the few office chairs and
desks they have, and their horses and
wagons, if they happen to have any.
They do a tremendous business put
they pay almost no taxes at all.
THAT is one Of the things which ought
to be remedied in our present assess
ment of corporations. In other states
the express companies are assessed on
the amount of business they do or on
their franchises, and some such ar
rangement ought to be made in KAN
SaS.''
