What Others
Are Saying

at IL highly creditable TO the newspaper
men that the public does not yet know
what that figure was which Senator Han
ma borrowed from the game OF poker He
was at the time reported as saying, We
hold the ace The next day he was report
ed as unspeakably Disguised that the re-
port had made him utter a phrase that TO
all poker players would be meaningless
and silly. and he explained, according TO
one report. that what he did say was We
hold the age but another report makes
him say We hold the edge Now, "a the
newspaper men are so innocent OF the
game that they cannot tell whether the
senator said ace age or edge will not

CASES
MUST Be
TRIED.

The picturesque quality that has been
noticeable for some time in the manage
ment Of It's cases in court by the Rhods
Island company has apparently lost It's
charm for the common pleas division, as
well as for certain attorneys who have
suits pending against the big corporation.
Two lawyers who have considerable
business In which negligence OF corpora
tions Is an element are u. Henry Quinn
and Lewis A. Waterman and when Judge
Wilbur and Judge Johnson opened court
today and proceeded TO the call OF the
calendar both these attorneys had state
ments to make that attracted attention.
Last Thursday Mr. quinn received no
ticc from Henry w. Hayes. Eesq., that
owing 20 the illness OF Frank 4. Easton,
one OF his associates the case OF Jennie
Hennessey against the Rhode Island COM
pany would not he tried on Thursday,
Feb ith. Mr. Waterman about the same
time got notice that three cases which
had been assigned by the court for the
second and third Of February In which he
was counsel would not be tried on those
days for the same reason as mentioned I'm

Whether or not Mr.. Hayes had the right
to peremptorily dispose OF trials i'm this
way. Mr. Quinn intended to have sub
mitted 10 the court last Saturday but
Mr.. Hayes was then under an excuse abb
sent from court. Today Mr.. Quinn called
the attention OF the court to the matter
Judge Wilbur and Judge Johnson con
ferred and then announced that the rea-
sons stated for postponing the cases as
Mr.. Hayes proposed to do were not suf-
hcient, and that unless some far better
reason was given all the cases against
the Rhode Island company would be tried
as assigned.
Judge Wilbur said that some cases were
such that particular lawyer might have
given a good deal of study to law points
involved I'm them and in such cases 10
would not be fair to compel parties 10 go
10 trial with a new lawyer. Negligence
cases incolvlng n street railway company
were not generally of this class and so
no injury would be done the Rhode Island
company by requiring II try these cases
even In new attorneys had 20 be brought
in.
The court, his honor intimated. could
not take cognizance of Mr.. Hayes as
signment OF cases among his associates
This determination Of the court to make
the Rhode Island company try cases as
assigned will give satisfaction to mem
bers of the bar Attorneys while recog-
nizing that the Rhode Island company
has much legal business. believes that a
better arrangement can be made by Il

his revolver and fired, instantly killing
Hamilton. After Hamilton fell. White

WOULD APPEAL TO THE HAGUE.
Russian Suggests Plan to Stop Butch
cry Of Wounded.

NJ. Petersburg. June 2S.--G2:l3 p.
ND The Novoe vremya today, calling
atte,s'on 10 the statement that Don
Jaime de Bourbon was an eyewitness
to the killing OF Russian wounded at
vafangow. declares that something
must be done quickly to prevent the
war degenerating into the senseless
brutality which the Japanese practices
indicate. The paper urges the Rus
sian newspaper correspondents in the
field to show up the authors of this
brutality and secure the evidence of
eye witnesses and photographs in or
der that The Hague convention may
be invoked.
The sudden cessation Of newspaper
dispatches from the theater Of war
tends to confirm the belief that the
armies are about to engage. Most Of
the military critics take the view that
big battle Is imminent, although the
Novoe Vremya's expert thinks that a
pitched battle now is more attractive
to the Japanese generals than to Cen
eral Kuropatkin. saying that the lat
ter does not need precipitancy as Rus
sian reinforcements continue to- arrive
but if the japanese want battle they
must hasten as only a fortnight re-
mains before rains set in.
The army organ, whose comment
was written before the arrival Of Lieu
tenant General Sarakhoff's dispatch
last night, points out the difficult,
mountainous country through which
General Kuroki's columns are going,
and finds in General Oku's withdrawal
southward either that the Japanese are
trying to draw off part of Kuropatkin's
army. or their decision, in view Of the
near approach of the rainy season, to
arrest their further advance. In the
latter case. the army would be able
to hold the greater part of Lao Tung
peninsula until the resumption of ac-
tive operations in August,

tion is manifested over the alleged mis-
translation of the reports of Admiral

Ing the night the bag Of santos-Du-
mont's airship AT the worlds fair
grounds was cut and slashed in such
manner as TO preclude all possibility
OF It's being repaired In time to allow
an ascension July I. There are at
least 20 long rips in the bag. and
Professor Carl Meyers, who has charge
of the aeronautic contests, today said
that II win take at least two weeks to
repair the damage.
The big gas bag had not yet been
taken from the crate In which II came
from Paris. The cover had been re-
moved by customs inspector and the
crate was rolled into the center Of the
big shed prepared for the airshlp. Be-
Ing OF an adhesive material, the bag
was hung in folds from Stats nailed

inear the top Of the crate. and in this
way was prevented from becoming a
solid mass because Of It's own weight.
There were several folds of the bag
lover each slat, and the vandal drew
lhis knife across these, cutting through
from two TO four thicknesses OF the
material with each slash. The work
evidently was done in haste There
were about dozen stats covered with
folds OF the bag and only four or FIVE
of them were cut.
When the damage was discovered a
messenger was sent to Mr.. Dumont and
he hurried to the scene. After exam
lining the bag he said;
well. 1t is just as l told the fair
people. This place is not secure
enough"

spondent of the Associated Press
Il don't know" was the reply. 1T
will be an impossibility to get a new
bag. and IL an ascension is made this
one must be repaired. can think OF
no reason why anyone should want to
destroy my airship."
Professor Meyers made careful ex-
animation of the cuts and said:
THE damage seems to have been
done with a dull knife. can con-
eeive of no reason why anyone should
want to destroy the bag, and believe
the work was pure vandalism with no
other object In view than the malicious
destruction Of property"
Walter B. Stevenson or the worlds
fair company said steps would be
taken to apprehend the vandal and for
the future protection Of the airship.
When the damage was done the shed
that sheltered the gas bag was patrol
led by Jefferson guard, and a special
who was one of Mr.. Du-
mont's employees. Neither saw the
vandal. and the damage was not dis
covered until the workmen were about
to take the bag from the box.

In the meantime, Oku is advancing

Withdrawing Russians He Is backed
up by powerful army. How large
a portion Of this army he has detached
to join Kuroki has not been developed,
but it is probably large enough to
add material severity to the fighting
before the Russians finally abandon the
mountains.
There is great eagerness for news

OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.
Nine Million Acres Of Land Available
in Nebraska.

Omaha, June 2S.-Nine millions Of
acres of government land in Nebraska
were opened for homestead entry today
under the provisions OF the Kinkaid
law, which permits homesteaders to
file on $40 acres Of land. The land
opened by the Kinkaid law is known
as semi-arid land, and is mostly adapt
ed to grazing. This is the last great
opening of government land of this
nature that win ever be made, and
was the occasion of rush for choice
sections.
The six land offices In Nebraska were
the scenes of great excitement. At
o'Neill. nearly 1000 persons. nearly 10
per cent OF whom were women, were
in line at sunrise.
The greatest excitement was at
Broken Bow. where over 100000 acres
of the best land included in the pro-
visions Of the law were thrown open.
AT sunrise 1000 persons were in line.
and Sheriff Richardson. who had al
ready taken extraordinary precautions
to forestall trouble, today enlisted an
extra force of deputies to keep order.
Later he requested Governor Mickey
to order the militia out to assist in
keeping order.
