WAR NE MS.

st. Petersburg, Oct 24.-Gen. Stoes.
sci reports, 1.-The chief suffering among
he mem bers of the Port Arthur gar
tison is due to lack of war clothing,
The soldiers are manufacturing for
themselves shoes of all kinds of ma
terial. There is still an immense
quantity of flour but only a little
horse meat. The garrison is deter
mined to fight to the last man and last
drop of blood"
ST. Petersburg, oct. "a. An Off
cial list of the Russian killed and
wounded in the fighting at Shake

day. There we're killed one general
237 officers and II, $50 men. Wounded,

and guns taken thirty seven.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-It is learned that
the Russian embassy in London re.
ceived an urgent telegram from st.
Petersburg on Sunday several hours
before news of the North Sea tragedy
reached Hull. The message resulted
in the recall of Count Beokendorff,
Russian ambassador, who rushed tC
London without his baggage and was
well en- route to the capital before
news of the firing was known in Lon
don. This fact has led to a suspicion
that Russia has heard more than sht
will admit and is purposely keeping
Admiral RodjestvensRy out of reach
This belief has resulted in an irritable
feeling in cabinet circles today anC
these suspicious may lead to an init
nation being sent to Russia that i.
she cannot find Rodjestvensky the
British navy can.

UNTlIMELY DEATH.


Mortified, Oct. 24.-A fatal acct
dent occurred near Sharon on Satur-
day afternoon about 8 O'Clock which
resulted in the death of Leon Water.
man, a young mau who had been act
ing as a brakeman on the way freight
for about three weeks and resident
CT this town.
1t seems that the train stopped near
Sharon on the homeward journey.
When the conductor gave the signal to
start it was taken by the dead man
who in turn signaled the engineer and
the train moved on. After journey
of about four miles it was noticed that
the brakeman was missing and upon
search his lifeless body was found not
ten feet from where he had given the
signal to start. The trainmen think
that as the cars moved the man not
being used to their motion was
knocked from them and the remainder
of the cars went over his body. The
remains were brought to this town on
the paper train Sunday morning and
taken to the home of his sister, Mrs.
Charles Joyce on Gross street from
which place the boy left so short a
time before in the brightest Of spirits.

ENGLAND ANGRY.

London, Oct. "a. The attack on the
fishing fleet by the Russian Baltic
squadron in the North sea has stirred
England to its very centre, even pa
pers like the peace loving Manchester
Guardian indulge in double headed
warlike editorials. Some papers sus-
tain the Standards argument that the
only adequate reparation would be the
instant recall of the Russian squadron
on the ground that such an action was
the removal of an international nui-
sauce.
Hull, England, Oct 24.-The offic-
ial information of the affair is that
shortly after midnight Friday the
Russian squadron fell in with the
Hull fishing fleet in the North sea.
The first portion of the fishing fleet
passed safely. Then the Russian
ships turned their eearchlights On the
British vessels for some time and a
little later opened fire The steam
trawler Crane was sunk and the de-
capitated bodies Of her skipper and
mate have been brought 10 Hull.
The boatswain and many members OF
the crew who are understood 20 be Sc
riously injured are on board mission
ship. The only slightly injured mem
Der of the crew has arrived at Hull
Another trawler was also sunk but
the Moulmein, which brought the
news to Hull, is seriously damaged by
Shots having sixteen holes in her
hull. 1t is feared that other damage
was done to trawltrs and that at least
one more trawler was lost with all
hands.
London, Oct. "A. The Westmins-
ter Gazette urges English officials not
to lose their heads because command
ers did. The Globe says "Unless
reparation should be complete and i'm
mediate, the feet should be asked to
give further proof Of its heroism and
efficiency under "A different condition.
The tone of the stock market improved
after the decline at the opening. the
belief being general that the incident
would be arranged amicsbly.
Alderney, Oct. "a The Russian
Baltic feet passed here at noon today.
London, Oct. "a Lord Lands
downe this afternoon sent strongly
worded message to the British ambas-
sador at St. Petersburg for delivery
to the Russian government.
Hull Oct 24.-The fishing vessel,
Wren, is reported safe.
London, Oct. 26.-It is stated this
morning that the situation growing
out of Smelling of British vessels by
the Russian Baltic feet already has
been adjusted in principle. Russia
has a2reed TO make every amend with
in reason. She desires, however, to
hear fully the report of her own Off
GELS. The main danger at present lies
in the possibility that st. Petersburg
authorities will fail to fully realize
the red heat of English opinion and
as result resort to dilatory and eva
sive tactics in adjusting details.

TALKS ON PRISON RE
FORM.
Rev. J. X. Fuller, Chaplain at Wind
sor, Discussed Subject. Gov. Bell
Presided.

An interesting meeting IN the inter
ests of prison reform was held in Rep
resentatives' hall on Monday evening.
Gov. Bell presided and, after brief
fitting speech on the subject, he intro
duced Rev. j. X. Fuller, chaplain of
the States prison at Windsor as the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Fuller
spoke in part as is subjoiDed:
The criminal is regarded by many
people as being made of refuse ma
terial, and the church is behind in
recognizing the human and divine ele-
ments in him. The criminal knows
this fact, is made respondent by it.
Hence the work of reformation is
made difficult and becomes a matter
for the State and organizations out
side the church. Law and not Justice
puts many men in prison and manu-
features criminals. The administra-
tion of law IS weak by assuring men
guilty of the foulest crimes the best
legal defense, which oftentimes by its
skilfulness persuades the guilty that
| he is innocent or prosecuted. The
penal institions where work is not
| furnished to the inmates are breeders
of criminals
The time has come when the Grim
inal as well as the crime, must be
considered The cleanliness, dIsci-
pline and work of the prisons are
great aids to reform, while the abol-
ishment of the fee system in connec-
ton with the enforc ement of law
would be of great value in securing
justice to those accused of crime
There must be no relaxation of wise
laws for punishment, the stubborn
criminal must be broken. But after
this has been done the man should
be educated in mind, spirit and body.
A tribunal, IN close touch with the
prisons, should be established with
power to pardon and release criminals
who may show sufficient progress
along the lines above mentioned. The
indeterminate sentence has done much
in the way of reform, but the abolish
ing of all length of sentence for the
grosser crimes, and having it determ-
ined by this court would accomplish
much more. Capital punishment does
not lessen murder as the murderer
never thinks of the moose before the
crime is committed, hence it should
be abolished. With attorney generals
who would take as their motto, Let
none guilty escape and none innocent
90 to prison, with wise, judicious,
clean sheriffs and lower officers and
judges, and officers of penal institu-
tions, and with the adjustment of
the fee system one third of the men
! that now 90 to prison would not be
found behind the bars,

brother of George Gould of that town,
Below is the chief part of the sketch:
Mr. Gould is the Democratic NOM
inee for the State Senate in the thir-
ty-seventh district anu is making
vigorous campaign, The nomination
came to him without solicitation and
by the unanimous vote Of the Demo-
cratic county convention. The NOM
inee's life purposes and interests are
with and for Los Angeles. and perhaps
there is no other man in Southern
California who could do more for the
welfare of the city. Mr. Gould can
be depended upon as an advocate of
good government, law and order and
economy in public affairs. He is con-
sentative, yet enthusiasticall pro-
gressive, and in thorough sympathy
with everything thaG makes for the
upbuilding of this section.
Will Daniel Gould was born Sep
TENDER II, 1915, in Cabot, Vermont.
He attended the common and high
schools of his native town. the aca-
DENY OF st. Johnsbury and Barre, and
was elected and served as superintend-
ent of schools in Cabot the year he
attained his majority. He Was prin-
opal Of the graded schools at Marsh
field, Passumpsic and Plainfeld. In
1871 he was graduated from the Uni
versity of Michigan, and was imme-
diately admitted to the bar at Mont
pelier, Vermont. The following year

has been successfully engaged in the
active practice of his profession.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March %.
is the banquet to be given tonight
in honor of General Nelson A. Miles
by the new democratic club of this
city intended to mark the formal
launching of the Miles boom for the
presidential nomination? This is the
question that is being discussed with
lively interest in political circles to-
day. The organization under whose
auspices the banquet is to be given
disavows all interest in the alleged
political ambition of the retired army
chief. At the same time, however, it
certainly appears from the way the
affair has been worked up that it is
intended to possess some political sig
nifcance.
That General Miles would be a will
ing listener to the buzZing of the pres
idential bee has been an open secret
in political circles for some years and
