war nov on hand, is not safe from
the peculations Of men in high posit
ion, what possible assurances can
there be that disbursements upon
which the safety Of the country de
pends have not been handled with
the same reckless profiigacy and alb
sence OF moral sense
What portions Of the army supplies
and munitions Of war exist on paper
alone From time to time facts, such
as those about the robbery Of the Red
Cross funds, come to light, despite
the press censorship. 1t is known that
many vessels Of the Baltic fleet were
by no means in the condition Of pre-
paredness which had been officially
reported. Inspection of some Of the
vessels under construction showed
tnat the poorest material had been
used by dishonest dock-yard employees
and one vessel, about to go into com
mission, proved utterly worthless.
In advance of the war we heard
much of the elaborate preparations
which Russia was making TO hold Man
churia, Of the thousands of men and
tons of supplies which were being
hurried to the far east Since the
land operations have commenced the
world has discovered that Russia has
not force enough to hold any posit-
ion, within striking distance of the
seacoast, against Japanese attack in
force, and Kuropatkin, the Russian
general in command gives this as an
excuse for the retreat of the Russians
and makes earnest and repeated re-
quests for reinforcements.
The actual condition OF the Russian
armies in the field is not told, but 1t
is altogether probable that they are
ill-clad and ill-fed and that their splen-
did equipment and commissariat exist
merely on paper. The imperial treas
ury has doubtless disbursed money
enough to insure proper equipment
and proper food for the soldiers in the
field, but how much Of this money has
been stopped in tran.it?9 If Rus
sian high oficiaIst would steal and
funds destined to relieve the
of wounded Russian sold
Iers in the field, what regard would
they have for funds destined to equip
the army to defend the safety of the
empire?

MEMS MISSION
 PROVING SUCCESSFUL.

The mission for men which is being conducted at St Francis Xavier s church continues to attract large con- gregations every night, and the ser vices held during the day time are well attended, too, notably the 6 o'clock mass in the morning, when every seat ill the church is occupied. Nothing has been said by the missionary fathers about confining their labors alone to St Francis Xavier's parish and as 3 result many from the other districts are taking advantage of the opportuni- ty to make tneir peace with God and thus become better in everything that goes to make man what he ought to be. The results so far show that the men sbeaf' the women, and where evidence of this kind is available there can be no question but good will come of it. The mission will close Sunday and promises to be the most successful ever held in Waterbury. Some thought that the cold weather would interfere with the success of the work, but this was a mistake. Probably nobody knows this better than those who Lave failed to reach the church at least half an hour before the service opened and found that they were lucky to get standing room to say nothing of finding seats. Another noticeable feature of the mission Is the excellent order. which proves that all are thoroughly in earnest in the work they have on hand Indeed, it can ruthfully De stated that if any fools went there to scoff they quickly experienced a change of heart and remained to pray.

LOVER IS ACQUITTED.
llois Eckstein, Tried For Murder of
 Mabel Bechtel, Is Free.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 14. Alois Eckstein, one of the lovers of Mabe, Bechtel. who was so mysteriousiy mur dered last October, was acquitted ot ccmplicity in the crime after a brier trial in which the conduct of thespros ecution sorely tried the patience not only of Judge Trexler, but also that of the jnrymen and counsel for the de fense. E. J. Lichtenwalner, the dis trict attorney of Lehigh county, was 70 befogged that it was with difficulty the case was carried to conclusion.
 Several times the court siinterfered and threatened to end the proceedings for the day unless the commonwealth conducted its case in more orderly manner. At one time the district at torney's assistant in the case took charge only to be set aside by the dis trict attorney later ons. The court en-

Mayor Harrison Testihes as to Whers Blame Should Rest.

\ Blx me Should Rest.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Mayor Harri- son was witness before the coroner's jury in the Iroquois theater fire in quest. He testified that the blame for the unsafe condition of the theater was divided among Building Commissioners Williams, Fire Marshal Musham, the city council and its subcommittee, which received and "smothered" the report. on the condition of Chicago the aters two months before the fire
 Building Commissioner Williams has announced to the manag gers of, the Au- ditorium that they could open their hall provided the stage is entirely shut off from the main auditorium by the fire proof steel curtain. This places the Au- ditorium practically in the class of buildings in which no movable scenery Is used.
 The managers of the Iroquois theater through their attorneys made g demand upon Coroner Traeger for the posses sion of the theater building. They de- clared that there were insurance losses to be adjusted and repairs to be made, as soon as possible.
 {. Assistant State Attorney Barnes, re- plying in behalf of the coroner, said that the insurance adjusters could visit s the theater at any time, but that neiT Sther they nor any other persons would be permitted to alter existing condi- ions in the building until after the con s clusion of the coroner's inquest
 Building Commissioner Williams has closed sixteen more public halls. He also closed the halls in the Grace Npis- copal church and the Second Presby- terian church structures. A large west side lodging house was also closed.

dured the proceedings until after the jury had been instructed to render q verdict of aequ1ttal, when Judge Trex- Ter adjourned the court
 The district attorney wanted to go ahead with the trial of the accused members of the Bechtei family, but the attorney for the Bechtels protested emphatically The district attorney, however, was insistent and ordered the names of the defendants called, but the judge interrupted by saying to the district attorney:
 sDo you intend to conduct the pros eeution yourself or will you rely on as- sistant counsel. If the latter, the trial will go on; otherwise this court will adjourn until the morning.
 '.The district attorney proposes to conduct this case himself" muttered the official.
 Then this court stands adjourned 2 ordered the judge.
 Before court opened the district at- torney admitted that he had a very weak case against Eckstein and did not expect to convict him. His hope was that something might develop dur ! ing the examinat ton that would lead to clew to the real murderer or mur- derers.
 WeiseRberger refused to answer many questions put to him with reference to his relations with Mabel.
 The examination of the last two wit nesses called was prolonged beyond all reasonable time. In fact, at one time it looked as though the district attorney was trying the ease for the defense, and Judge Trexler interrupted him, saying:
 Are you trying to establish an aiibi for the defendant?''
 Finally the. district attorney an nolnced that the commonwealth had no more witnesses to examine and was therefore compelled to ask that the de. fendant be discharged. Judge Trexler Instructed the jury accordingly, and without leaving their seats they rem uered verdict of not guilty.

MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED.
Cards Received From Attorney Hem- inway by His Brother Lawyers.

Cards were received to-day through inc mails by almost all the lawyers in the city announcing the rather start ing intelligence that Attorney Louis Marshall Heminway and Miss FerE Putnam Green were married on We'd nesday, May 20, 1903. Not 8 word did the card contain as to where the mar riage took place, simply the announce ment of the doubtful fact Doubtful, because those who knew MT Hemin- way before he gave up Blackstone and embraced Thespis to lead him to fame had no idea he would ever sue cumb to Cupid, at least so soon, and they would not be surprised to ind the announcement joke. They con- sidered MT Heminway too handsome to so readily yield to any fair wo- mans charms, and moreover after he had survived several seasons in Wa terbury.
 Mir Heminway had offices on the fifth floor of the Odd Fellows build Ing with Attorneys Church and Meigs Having more than sufficient money to meet every conceivable desire, he shone more in drawing rooins than Ill his profession. He was a democrat In politics and once he surprised the people of his native heath, Water town, by running for representative, and, to the surprise of everybody, he was elected. for Watertown was no toriously republican. It was said his good looks won the day. After serv. ing his term in the legislature he quietly dropped out of local society attended a school of acting i'll New York. and last season played south In Louis -Marshall's repertoire stock company It is now said he owned that enterprise.
 The cards further announce that MT and Mrs Heminway will be at home after March at Bantam lake The announcement of the marriage will cause the greatest surprise in To cal society circles.
