FIGHTING At PORT ARTHUR
laps Begin Assault on the Last
Lines Of the Fortress.
TAKE TRENCHES AT DAWN

Battleships Disabled by Shell Fire-Gen-
era1 Kuroki Reports a Three-Mile
Advance - General Oku in Action
Damage Done 10 the Russian Forth
fications.
Toxic, Japan.-Dispatches filed at 0
a. m. from the third army headquar-
ters before Port Arthur that
side of the intrenchments began at
dawn. The Russian forces, strongly
reinforced, made a desperate effort to
retain the remaining ridges connect
ing Port Arthur proper with the old
forts south of the fortress leading to
Golden Hill. On this side of the city
it is estimated that one-half the Rus
sian forces, probably 1000 in all, were
fighting, and, as they were in well
fortified positions, protected by gun
fire from Golden Hill, it was the Opin-
ion here that the engagement, as an
nounced from General Nogi's head
quarters, might take the form of a
continuous battle until the Russians
were forced into the extreme corner
of the ~promontory south of the fort
ress.
In the two bulletins from General
Nogi's headquarters is the announce
ment that all the centre bitches south
of the KekWan Mountains and running
along the ridges to Ruin Mountain
were taken after an hours fighting
one hour after sunrise. There is the
further announcement that the Jap
anese column in the Etsze hills adj
vanced to the first line of trenches
facing White Wolf Hill, and that be-
fore dawn naval guns were posted on
the ridges directly across the bay from
Tigers Tail. The Japanese guns
shelled the parapets and inflicted
heavy damage.
A bulletin reported that the battle
ship Poltava was hit three times by
shells, once below the water line, and
was towed at nightfall to the north
westerly side of Tigers Tail, beyond
the Chingtau fort. The cruiser Giliak
was set on fire by the shells from the
naval guns on EtsZe Mountain. A
cruiser of the Amur type was towed
in a sinking condition to the outer
harbor. The battleships Peresviet and
Retzivan have been repeatedly hit by
shells from the westerly forts captured
by the japanese.
Dispatches were received and posted
from General Kuroki's headquarters,
place not stated, announcing that the
Japanese recent advance had been
three miles. The resistance Of the
Russian forces in front was only of a
general character. Small attachments
of Russians have invariably attacked
the japanese outposts before dawn,
always retiring to intrenched posi-
lions. The dispatch did not indicate
where General Kuroki's army was,
but that it was closely in touch with
the central army under General Nodzu
is shown by the fact that the bulletin
says Russian artillery for three days
has shelled the trenches of the central
army, but without serious effect. The
story from the field closes with the an
nouncement that few casualties have
resulted from the daily ritle fire.

Scranton, PAS a result Of the eff
forts of the better class of Italians in
and around Carbonate to rid their
colony of the members of the lawless
gang who have been committing many
outrages, a street battle occurred at
that place which was attended with
the loss of one life and the serious in
Jury of a second man.
At 8 o'clock at night Santo Carressi,
one Of the gang, was caught by a con-
stable levying tribute on one of the
italians of the colony. The constable
and three of the Law and Order men
started to take Carressi to Jail.
Word vas quickly passed to the
gangs headquarters in a nearby sa-
loon, and four of them rushed out and
opened fire on the constable and his
posse. The latter returned the fire.

The constable protected himself by
holding his prisoners in front of him.
Joseph Tolerico was shot through the
head and died in a few minutes. Frank
Ferressi was taken to the Emergency
Hospital with a bullet in his breast,
near the heart, and another in the alb
1omen. He died at IL o'clock at
aight. The third victim received a
bullet in the arm, and after recover
Ing from the shock was able to walk
home.
The movement Of Italians of the bet
fer class in and around Carbonate is
designed to rid their colonies of the
members of the lawless gang which
for the last year, and particularly for
the last month, have been leySing
blackmail and Furnishing those who
refuse to pay.
The first practical step to the end
was taken when a committee of the
new organization furnished the Edger-
ton Coal Company officials with the
names of four members of the band,
and asked that they be discharged and
eVlcleu. 1ulS WAS uOue. 1WO VI the
four left the colony. The others Sc
cured quarters with persons who are
suspected of being fellow members of
the gang.
1t is believed the gang is affiliated
with the Malta Oh some similar organ
i~zation, as part of the tribute money
is sent to a headquarters in New
York, according to the statements
made by members of the gang when
levying tribute.
Among the outrages recently perpe-
trated was the knitting of four men
who refused to pay the tribute. In
each instance the victim was called
out of his house late at night and
slashed across the face. Arrests have
been made from time to time by the
Carbonate police, but in every case
the persons who privately gave the in
formation which led to the arrests
could not be induced to testify in pub
lie.

One excellent instance is supplied

up seven defenses: "a The accused
bought the duck and paid for it; (2)
he found it; 60 it was given to him;

particular defense, but because they
did not know which to choose, and so
gave the prisoner the benefit of the

DOG SAVES GIRL FROM BULL
Fox Terrier Attacks Big Animal and
Young Woman Escapes.


Eagle Point, Pa.-There is a DIM
inutive fox terrier with snappy brown
eyes, a short tail and a pair of nicely
trimmed ears at the home Of Miss
Annie Stein, seventeen years old, that
is the object of much consideration.
Miss Stein has oHa ezra lhoumf-fn@
sling, but with the other she pets the
terrier. For the little dog saved her
life.
There is a bull on the Stein farm
big, cross and always looking for trou.
BILE. Seeing Miss Stein walking
through a field, wearing a red coat,
the bull came charging down upon her.
He caught the girl on his horns and
tossed her high in the air. She fell,
breaking her left arm.
The terrier was trotting quietly
along with his mistress when the bull
charged. He leaped at the bull and
his teeth closed tight we the animals
right ear. Every ounce of terrier
strength and persistency was in that
grip, and the bull became so discon-
certed that he forgot the PROSTATE girl
and tried to break the dogs hold.
Meanwhile Miss Stein managed to
scale a fence. When she was safe the
terrier let go and cleared the fence
after her.

WIDOW MURDERED IN ALBANY
Old State Treasury Employe Accused
of Shooting Her.

Albany, n. Y.-Joseph It. White, for
ten years orderly in the State Treas
urer's office, is under arrest here
charged with killing Mrs. Josephine
Russell, a widow. Jealousy is said to
have been the cause.
White is sixty-five years old, and a
widower. His home before he en-
tered the Treasury Department was
in Binghamton, where he was at one
time a member of the police force.
He had just been released from the
hospital. Mrs. Russell was ~thirty-five
years old, and White formerly boarded
with her. Early in the morning he APP
peared at a milk depot where Mrs.
Russell traded and spent the day until
40 O'Clock, apparently waiting for
her to appear. When she came in the
police say he shot her in the neck.
Three more shots were fred into her
body.
White made no attempt to escape,
and when arrested denied committing
the crime.
Mrs. Russell, who was unconscious,
was taken to the hospital, where she
died.

GREAT LAKE NAVAL DEPOT
New Training Station Established
at Lake Bluff, Ill.
After Long Discussion Congress Approves
of Plan to Train Raw Recruits ON the
Great Lakes-Treaty with England.


Washington, D. C.-Lake Bluff, ILL.,,
will be the site of a new naval training
station for which Congress has appro-
priated $25O,OO0. A board consisting Of
Captain w. FL. Reeder, William NJ.
Bradley and H. NJ. Waite, after having
toured the great lakes, hearing the
claims as to the qualifications Of a doz-
en- cities and towns, decided that from
the standpoint of accessibility. health
fulness and topography. Lake Bluff
is the most desirable location. They
so reported to President Roosevelt. He
approved the report.
Nothing now remains except for the
citizens of Chicago. H.. to carry out
their intention to transfer the neces-
sary ground, valued at $175,000, to the
Navy Department, which will proceed
to dredge the harbor and erect the
buildings necessary for the housing
and training of from 1000 to 300O naval
recruits.
Secretary Morton has no further an
nouncement to make regarding the
navy's policy in this direction. 1t is
probable, however, that steps will oon
be taken toward an agreement with
Great Britain whereby fairly large
training ships may cruise the great
lakes with the naval recruits from this
station.
The Rush-Bagot treaty, concluded
in 1916, now limits the naval repre-
sentation of the United States on the
Great Lakes to one man-ef-war. The
old Michigan is that ship. 1t is not
expected that much difficulty will be
met in seeking a more liberal interpre-
tation of the treaty.
The first suggestion of the establish
ment of a naval training station on
the Great Lakes came from q naval
recruiting officer at Chicago, who OBJ
served the large number of young men
recruited for the service from States
in the Middle West. With Lake Mich
igan so close at hand, he regarded Chi
cago as an ideal point of concentra-
ton for training.
Although the recruits trained at this
station may find themselves dubbed
fresh water jackies" when they re-
port aboard the fleets in a real ocean,
they will get every bit of practical ex-
p%erience sailing the waters of the
Great Lakes that they would if they
were sent to the naval training station
at Newport, r. l., or at San Francisco,
Cal.
Soon after Congress took up the ques-
ton. Rear Admiral Taylor, Command
er c. MGR. Winslow and Civil Engi-
Aeer H. H. ROsseau were constituted a
hoard TO recommend a Sifo for thp STA
ton. They thought a location on the
southern half of Lake Michigan would
be most convenient to the territory
from which it was desired tc draw re-
cruits. Lake Bluff was recommended
as the point most suited for the loca-
ton of the station.
Great interest was manifested in the
matter. Sandusky, Ono; Racine. Wis,
and Erie, Pa, were actively in the
lists.
