chine, got very valuable charter by
wholesale bribery. Then, turning his
attention to the three great insurance
comprehensive New York Life, Bqui-
table and Mutual-he says that he has
been approached by an agent Of these
companies with threats Of what they
would do If he brought them into the
story. While admitting that these in
stitutions together constitute the great
est financial power In the world, he
says he will not be turned aside. He
prints the facsimile letter from Presi-
dent Mccall Of the New York Life to
an Ohio policy holder attributing Law
sons attack to the company's refusal
to issue him policy. At the same
time another letter from Mccall to
Lawson, dated Jan. %, is reproduced,
in which Lawson Is urged to take out
a policy. Lawson repeats his assertion
that the New York Life has still large
investments In stock securities. He
does not advise policy holders, howev-
er, ito discontinue premiums.
Gas War In Indianapolis.
The city of Indianapolis has fixed the
price of artificial gas at 30 cents a
thousand for fuel purposes, at the
same time ordering the local gas COM
pany to comply OF stop furnishing fuel
gas. The present price is 90 cents a
thousand. The stock of the company is
all owned in the east. The city's ac-
ton Is based on the fact that the COM
pany is using the natural gas mains
formerly used for fuel gas to supply
artificial gas, thus evading the law.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT At TO-
kIo OF THE CAPTURE OF
2O3-METRE HILL.
EARLY FALL OF PORT ARTHUR LIKELY
POSITION OCCUPIES A DoMtNAT
ING HEIGHT CLOSE TO THE
MAIN DEFENsEs.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED

Olacial announcement comes from
Toxic that the Japanese have occu-
pied the summit Of 203-Metre hill.
This important position has been the
object Of severe and continuous fight
ing and cable reports from time to
time have indicated that many men
have been sacrificed in the effort to
capture it. '.
203-Metre hill is dominating height
IN the range which lies to the west
ward Of the town of Port Arthur and,
according to reports, it commands ar
tillery range of the harbor and por-
ton of the main town. Its approx
mate distance from the citadel or main
defenses is three to four miles.
Reports from both Toxic and st. Pc
tersburg indicate that isolated en-.
fragments of more or less severe
nature are occurring along the front
OF the Manchurian armies, but it is
not apparent that the main forces are
engaged. ,.......-.,.. .........s -

COMMERCE end INDUSTRY

River was levied, and many delegates
advanced the total Of their unions as
sessment. About $4,000 will be real
lied Immediately in this way.
There was unanimous vote against
having the secretary Of commerce ap-
point an arbitration board for the set
tlement of strikes. A committee re-
ported against the boycotting Of any
publication for an expression OF opin-
ion.
Founders Fight Work Limit.
The National Founders association
in it's recent session at Cincinnati re-
solved to- oppose to the bitter end the
practice Of labor unions Of restricting
the output and earning capacity Of in
dividuals. The employers propose to
determine for themselves the number
of apprentices to be employed and will
insist upon the right to introduce new
machinery. While agreeing to the prin-
ciple Of arbitration, the founders de-
clare that they will not "arbitrate any
question with men on strike" neither
will they countenance lockout unless
arbitration has failed. This Is regard
ed as virtually a declaration for the
open shop.
Try to Blow Up Foundries. ...... +
Following a third attempt to dyna-
mite the brass and iron foundry at
Newport, KY, Nov. %, all the employ
ees were armed with rifles before quit
ting work. The nonunion men were
living behind stockade. The foundry
workers Of Cincinnati, Covington and
Newport have been on strike the great
er part Of the year. Thomas Bracken,
a nonunion founder at Detroit, was ar
rested for his alleged connection with
the murder of Samuel Weakly, non
union foundry workman, who was shot
at Cincinnati, Oct. Z, while standing at
street corner.
The sensation Of the week, however,
in this labor struggle was the arrest of
Joseph #. Valentine, president Of the
Iron Molders' Union Of North America,
at Cleveland, Nov. %, on the charge OF
being connected with the destruction
Of property at the Eureka foundry at
Cincinnati, where. nonunion men have
been employed. Several other union
molders were arrested on the same
charge. Valentine says that the whole
dynamite plot was trumpet up by the
employers.

SERIOUS BLOW TO DEFENDERS
Russian Comment on Reported Capture
.sr OF 2O3-Metre Hill.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2.-The war
Office here is not prepared to accept
the report that the Japanese before
Port Arthur have taken 2O3-Metre hill,
but If it is officially confirmed the war
Office admits that 1t will be desper-
ate blow for the gallant defenders OF
the fortress. The position commands
the harbor and it the Japanese can
mount siege guns on it's summit they
can force out the Russian squadron or
destroy 1t at it's anchorage. Those
familiar with the supporting plans OF
the forts think 1t is by no means GER
tain that even though the Russians are
forced to retire from 203-Metre hill
the japanese can place in position
heavy guns against the fire which the
other forts can bring to bear on it.
Still the war Office olncials reluctantly
agree that such breach in the cham
renders the position extremely critical
and though the garrison might be able
to hold out IN the Golden Hill, Tigers
Tail and Liaotie forts for some time
1T may mark the beginning of the end.
The war Office is convinced that with
the approach of the Russian second
Pacific squadron the Japanese consid-
cred that the elimination OF the Port
Arthur squadron as a fighting factor
was absolutely vital, thus accounting
for the reckless sacrifice of life in
order to secure position directly COM
manding the .harbOr.

Japanese Look for Early Fall of Port
Arthur.

Arthur.
Toxic, Dec. 2.-General Nogis tele-
gram announcing the sLOrmlng anu
capture OF 2O5-MeLEe hill was received
with cheers by the Japanese people.
1t reyiYes the hope of an early capture
of Port Arthur. proper. The peopie
have never despaired of the success
OF the besiegers, but the fortitude OF
the defenders and the prolongation o.
tue sIese, which exceeds by months
the most liberal preliminary estimate
OF the time required TO accomplish
the reduction OF this stronghold, has
been a source OF deep regret, COM
bined with the loss OF life and disap-
pointments over the fact that the siege
has occupied such large force or
men, decreasing Field Marshal Oya-
mas strength Al a time when he need
cd every available man.
Thursday was the date set under the
CONSUMPTION act when recruits could
join the army. Cheered by the news
from General Nogi thousands of re-
cruits throughout the empire marched
to barracks and donned uniforms for
the first time. Following an honored
custom the relatives OF the recruits,
carrying flags and banners, escorted
the new soldiers to their barracks. IN
Toxic during the day there have been
scores of little professions, eseorting
detachments of popular conscripts.
