is thought by many to have caused

Folk Fears Kratz Will Be Dis.
charged.

Post Dispatch, March 3lst.
That Charls Kratz, whose presence
in Missouri to answer charges OF
bribery in the Suburban franchise
deal was secured only after interna-
tional negotiations leading to hisex-
tradition from Mexico, may 90 free
through the Supreme Courts latest
Doodle decision, is feared by Circuit
Attorney Folk.
The Supreme Court Tuesday morn
In (, according to dispatches from Jei-
ierson City, reversed the convictions
Of I. Ed. Albright, Jerre j. Hanni
gan and John A. Sheridan and re-.
manded their cases for new trials.
The reason stated for the decision
was that the information which took
the place Of indictments in the three
cases were detective.
A contention OF the attorneys for
the three men was that the iniorma.
tions we're defective because the
Suburban railroad, in seeking q fran
chise, did not have petition signed
by majority of property owners on
the streets to be traversed, as reouir.
ed by law.
TIL, point has been regarded by
lawyers ss closely parallel to the one
on which Edward Butler was freed
by the Supreme Court after his con.
viction for attempted bribery. The
court held that Buffers act In at.
tempting to bribe q member of the
board OF health In relation to q gar.
bage reduction contract was not a
violation OF the law, because the
board Of health did not have the
legal right to let the contract, al.
though 1t did so in the case in cues.

thrse cases we're reversed Tuesday

Toxic, Nav 20 The details Of the
fighting at kr-Chow emphasize the
serious tcnacity of the japanese In
their conduct ut Nan.Shon Hill.
Nine successive times the Japanese
charged the fortified heights In the
face OF q storm Il death-dealing mis-
siles, and In their last effort they car
ried the forts and trenches only after
a hayonet-to' bayonet conflict with
the Russians, who made a despairing
struggle to beat back the oncom-
ing hordes.
The final assault OF the Japanese,
In which they at last succeeded in
ia king possession, was marked by
the most desperate hand-to. hand en-.
co unter that has thus far character
lied the war.
AT a critical moment the ammuni-
ton Of the artillery ran low, and it
was decided to cast the remaining
a mmunition into one final desperate
assault.
JAP SQUADRON GIVES TIMELY AID.
Fortunately, however, at the mo.
ment this decision was reached the
Japanese squadron in Kin-Chow Bay,
which had ceased bombarding when
the infantry had first moved for
ward, suddenly resumed the shelling
OF Nan Shan Hill
Then it was that the issues of the
day-were determined-at a moment
when the. outcome ~was huttering be-
tween success and defeat for Japan
at that moment was an almost Ger.
tain repulse converted into victory
as successful that the forces of the
Car were swept into confusion and
disorderly retreat.
With every Japanese gun centering
its fire upon the Nan-Shan forts and
tren ches, the Japanes infantry sprang
over the bodies OF the dead comrades
who had sacrificed their lives in the
previous charges. The entire line
rush ed forward toward the Russian
lett, where the fire OF the Japanese
squadron had proved most deadly
and which was the first to weaken
under the bombardment. 1t was
there that the first breach was made
in the human stone wall that all day
had been an invincible barrier to the
impetuous assaults OF the brown
men.
At 7:30 o'clock, as the sun was
sinking beneath the horizon, the flag
OF the land of the rising sun floated
above the blood-sodden Nan Shan
Hill, while the shouts of "banzailr
swelled from hill to hill and re-echoed
from squadron to fort.
The Japanese paid for their victory
in $500 killed and wounded. To
the Russians the humiliation Of d. i.
feat was intensified by the loss of
slxty-eight cannon and ten machine
guns, while lying dead in the forts
and trenches we're 500 men, the vic
