TELLS POLICE
OF HIS CRIME
White and Negro Found
Dead in Streets of East st.
Louis Killed by Barkeeper

EAST ST. LOUIS. Sept. 6.-According
to statements made tonight to Chief
of Police Purdy by Louis Kane. for
merIy a barkeeper in the Yellow Dog
Saloon, the latter is guilty of having
killed the two men found dead under
mysterious circumstances near Black
Bridge last night.
Kane, in his statement, says that his
reason for killing Reynolds, a white
man, and Green, a negro, was that they
were strike breakers. He told Chief
Purdy that he was formerly employed
as butcher and, although he had sur
rendered his card, he was a strong
union man and had used every means
in his power to further the cause of
unionism."
In describing the killing Kane told
Chief Purdy that he and several strik-
ing butchers had had an argument
with Reynolds and that the latter made
a motion as though to draw a revolver.
Kane says that he then shot Reynolds
through the heart and hid his body
in the bushes.
According to Kane's statement to the
police he killed Reynolds at O'Clock
in the afternoon. After closing the
saloon at clock at night Kane says
he started to go home and while cross
ing the Black Bridge recognized Green,
who was approaching him, as a strike
breaker
Kane says that he hid behind a sup
port of the bridge until Green was
within a few feet of him, when he
placed his revolver on ledge and fired,
the bullet penetrating Green's heart.

BR1ToNs PRAISE KURopArKIN.
Regard His Escape From Superior
Numbers Mastery Achievement.

LONDON, Sept. English opinion
regarding the situation in the Far East
is not much Influenced by General ku-
ropatkins reassuring dispatches. AL
most all of the difficulties of the retreat
reported in the latest dispatches have
been foreseen by the English military
observers and indeed the Russian con-
f1dence following so closely the period
of what was regarded here as exagger-
ated depression, combined with COM
plete japanese silence regarding the
pursuit, leads the Daily Graphic TO be-
lieve that the japanese generals have
not yet given up all hopes of infiict-
ing a crushing blow on the Russian
main army.
The Daily Mails Mukden correspond
ent, wiring under date of September 5.
appears impartially to sum UP the situ-
alton, saying that the relative positions
of the opposing forces are about the
same as ever. The enemy is advancing
from the south and threatening the
Russians at the same time from the
east, but the decisive battle is still to
come.
The Standard which comments upon
what it terms ST. Petersburg's attack
of nerves" and its not altogether sur
prising readiness to believe anything
however disastrous, thinks that if the
Russians can get TO Hardin there VIII
be a long pause in the war. The same
paper has no doubt that the Japanese
will follow their enemy thither as they
did to Liaoyang but it does not think
that the pursuit can be carried out as
far as Harbin until after the winter
season.
"Kuropatkin has won the race" says
the Daily Telegraph, and saved the
greater part of his army by one of
the most mastery retreats of military
history Few things in the record of
war have been finer than the energy
and determination with which the
Cars commander-in-c chief prevented
the victors from converting a defeat
into a catastrophe, and the result will
have the most far-rea ching influence
upon the whole future of the war. Com
bined with the stolid staying powers
of Ivan Ivanovitch, the tactics which
saved the situation after Liaoyang and
again at Yentai saved it once more
at the Hun River and protected the
crossing of the bulk of the forces"
At what cost this was ACCOMPLISHED
and whether the Japanese have been
wet wholly thwarted of their prev"
the Daily Telegraph says will not be
known for some days; but assuming
that Kuropatkin had 900 men at
Liaoyang. the paper says, he will be
comparatively fortunate if he leads
10000 men to Tiehling or TO Mukden.
and that number will be sufficient to
have prospects for the immediate
future.
Though Kuropatkin's resource meets
with such praise, the Daily Telegraph

'KUROPATKIN'S

Northward.
Retreat Is Carried Out
in Good Order Despite
Difficulties.

MUKDEN, Sept. 6.-The commissar-
lat and columns of artillery are arriv-
ing here and proceeding northward.
General Kuropatkin's army is engaged
in an extensive rear guard action.
The retreat of General Kuropatkin's
army is being carried out in good or
der, despite the terrible condition Of the
roads, rendered sodden by the rains
which fell yesterday and to-day, which
mire the numbering guns and heavy
transport trains. Long lines of COM
missariat wagons, drawn by steaming
mules, horses and even bullocks, are
straining their way north over the
soaking, cut-up main road from YEN
tai. Behind them come long trains OF
artillery and back of them Kuropat-
lkin's army. The japanese are hanging
to Kuropatkin's fianks, keeping the
Russians engaged in a continuous rear
guard action. The progress of the re-
treating army has been slow, owing
to the necessity OF first getting through
the baggage and guns, but the heads of
the commissariat trains already have
passed through Muzden and are con-
tinuing their way toward the north.
The main Japanese army is marching
up along the roads eastward of the
Russian lines Of retreat, which con-
verge al <AuOlnSE
force is heading for Mukden from the
westward. coming from the direction
of Lao River.
Marshal Oyama seems to be making
a race for Mulxden. He has great su-
periority in numbers, especially in ar
tillery.
AS this dispatch was filed the COR
respondent could hear the booming of
the Japanese cannon, which are in play
fourteen miles from Mukden. The
skies are black and the air is sitting
with the sense of suffocation which is
felt here before storm breaks
strange harmony between the elements
and the menacing attitude of the con-
tending armies.
