that Dick Cameron, the one lone man

he gets out with such unfailing
promptness the year round. When

A third stall is being fitted up at the
city hall for third horse to drive to
the hose cart to be kept hereafter in
readiness for an emergency. The two
horses that stand ready at all times
to run to a fire with the hose wagon
have never yet failed. but sometime
when the emergency is greatest q sick
or disabled horse might be the cause
Of much property being destroyed that
a third available horse would make
it possible to save. It is expected that
Mayor Aldrich will secure this horse
before long.

TIE I,lIBURN GAS[
The Case Occupies the Attention
Of the Court all this week.
The Prosecution Making a Much
Stronger Case on the
Rctriai.

ID ne HISL case TO go 10 Crlal at LHl6
term Of court is that Of the state vs..
Frank Coburn, who Is charged with
stealing i've horses from Geo. Barry
OF Portage township last january. The
case was tried at the June term Of
the court when the Jury failed to
agree, standing, when they retired
from the court room, S for conviction
to Z for acqaittal.
The case hinged on the question as
to where Coburn was at the time
when the horses were taken. At the
other trial August Hubert testified
that Frank Coburn, on the night the
Barry horses were stolen, came to his
door and inquired the way to Hecla.
Hubert recognized him and called him
by name. Hubert lives mile and a
half from where the horses were
taken. On the other hand the defence
brought the register of hotel at Ell
lendale to show that Coburn was at
that place the 18th Of January, the day
proceeding the night when the horses
were taken. The register was corrob-
Grated by the testimony Of D. NJ. Gill
lies Of this city who says he saw Co
burn in Ellendale on that day. Mrs.
August Hubert and Herman Hubert are
new witnesses brought in this time to
corroborate August Hubert's testimony
as to seeing Coburn on that night.
Three Of the horses were found in
the aneighborhood OF Kuhn In North
Dakota where It it charged Frank Co,
burn had placed them not far from
where he lived. Evidence was, pro
duced on the former trial to show that
Coburn was seen with the horses IL
his possession: that he tried to sell
them or trade them on.

Hecla shortly before the Barry horses
were stolen, brought With him : team

DENIED BY MR.. TYNER.
Has No Idea of Bringing Suit Against
the President.

James N. Tyner. former Postmaster
General. and later assistant attorney gen.
eral for the Post Office Department, has
denied that he will bring suit against the
President of the United States for SANDER
and has said that If his attorneys are con-
templating any such move he has not
been informed of their intentions.
The rumor that such action was to be
brought against the President by Mr.. Ty-
ner arose from the letter written by the
President prior to the trial of the former
named under charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. The trial COM
pletely eXonerated Mr.. Tyler, and he then
wrote to the President asking that the
executive head of the government make
such retraction as would take the con-
tumely from the charges which the Pres
ident in his letter had said were well
founded.
No action has been yet taken by the
President on the request of Mr.. Tyner,
and it is thought that he has not vet
reached a conclusion in the matter.

NO SIGN OF SQUADRON.
Tokyo Advises That Vladivostok Fleet
Is Not in Straits

TOKYO, June 20. p.m.-The Russian
Vladivostok squadron did not come into the
Straits of Korea today. The suspicion Of
their presence there, referred to previously
in these dispatches, was based on the flash
Ing of searchlights seen off Oki Island last
night. The Japanese made careful DISPOSE
ton of their warships to intercept the enc
my. but when daybreak came there was no
sign Of them in the straits.
The weather Is clear and II is believed
that the Russian vessels have again swung
to the north.
Further reports received here show that
the blow inflicted by Gen. Oku on the Rus
SLAMS in the fighting at Telissu (Vafangow)
on June Is was more severe than at first
was believed. The number of Russians
killed in this battle will probably exceed
1000. and their total loss, including pr!s-
oEers. is estimated at 10000. The Japanese
losses are less than 1000. or about one
tenth of the Russian total.
Up to June II Gen. Oku had buried 1915
Russian dead. and he reports that many
more dead have been found.
Chinese who watched the fighting from
the Russian side report that the Russians
moved many dead to the trains with their
wounded and that they buried or crematej
many corpses in the village Of Hua Sung
kou before they retreated.
The number Of prisoners and trophies
taken by the Japanese is encouraging. Gen
Oku is not yet able to report the total num-
Der of prisoners

CORRESPONDENT RELEASED.
Gives Report Of the Situation Inside
Port Arthur

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. June 20.-The
News has just received special cablegram
from Hector Fuller, ita special staff war
correspondent at Che Foo, giving the fol-
lowing account Of his release from Port Ar
thur and the situation inside the besieged
fortress:
"Chee Foo, June 20--After spending five
days in Russian prison, was released
and put on board a Chinese Junk and sent
to this place.
THE stories of starvation in Port Arthur
spread by the Japanese are untrue, as
stores and supplies are constantly arriving
at the besieged city from Chinese ports. The
japanese blockade is ineffective.
THE garrison consists of between fifty
and sixty thousand troops and the health
of both soldiers and civilians is good
THE damaged battle ships have all been
repaired and the harbor entrance cleared
of distractions. 1mmance new forts have
been constructed and, in my opinion the
place is in no immediate danger Of falling
into the hands Of the Japanese.
THE Japanese attack by land and sea

pulsed I was the first correspondent to

DISTRICT DELEGATES ARRIVE
DR.. Reyburn's Local Suffrage Plank to
Be Submitted

Stan Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
CHICAGO. June 2O.-Dr Robert Reyburn
and Mr.. John +. Cook delegates from the
District of Columbia. arrived early in the
morning and will be called together in a
meeting by Mr. Chaplin Brown. national
committeeman for the District They will
get together today, when DR. Reyburn's
suffrage plank will be discussed. Tomor-
row evening there viii be a meeting of the
committee on platform. at which Senator
Ledge will preside. and DR.. Reyburn will
then lay before the committee his plan to
give the District suffrage, and will tell OF
the benighted condition of people who are
taxed without representation.
Senator Lodge smiled when told today by
The Star correspondent of the suffra &c
plank. 1T will be discussed by the COM
mittee, he said. but do not know what
will be done about it. You can see very
easily that II will not be possible to go into
nHny side issues in framing a platform
Eut of course DIR. Reyburn will have an on
prrtuntty TO tell the committee about the
District, and 10 give his reasons for want
Ing suffrage"
This question is one that Is likely to call
Forth very general comment on the part of
members OF the committee There is little
doubt that DIR. Reyburn will have some
support. but whether he will be able to
have his suffrage plank adopted cannot be
determined at this time. The fact that
such plank was In the platform years ago

In again.
II is safe to say the much-discussed ma
uonal committeemanship for the District
has been settled, and DR.. Reyburn himself

This was settled today in conference be-
sween Reyburn and Cook. DR. Reyburn is

mittee is necessary TO guard the suffrage
plank. which he expects to have inserted In

"Gen. Okurreports that the Russian
corpses which were buried by US near
Telissu after the evening Of the 18th
amounted to 1915. The corpses are still

number of their killed and wounded. while

that there is a strong sentiment through
out the country tending toward Taft for the
presidency In $685.
Objections Answered.
objection will be urged to Mr.. Taft on
the ground that 1t would remove a strong
man from the cabinet and put him In po-
sition less prominent before the country
To the first objection I should say that Mr.
Taft would be Of immense assistance to the
President as Vice President. as he Is as
member of the cabinet, and, to the second
objection. my point Is that Mr.: Tart Is SO
we'll known that 1t Is impossible to lose
sight of him.
For Vice President he is the kind Of a
man who would retain and increase rather
than lose his prominence. True. ne mas
recently assumed the war portfolio. but his
work is, in sense, completed. so far as the
Philippines are concerned and there Is no
great emergency which would necessitate
his remaining Secretary of War.
MY suggestion of Mr.. Taft is everywhe
being warmly received. and, especially
among the eastern delegations, the senti-
ment seems to favor him for the vice presi-
Dental nomination"
The Reciprocity Resolutions.
No formal action was taken by the North
Dakota delegation at its meeting today
upon the reciprocity resolutions Of Senator
Fansbreugh, but the intention Of the sem
ator to Introduce the resolution before the
committee on resolutions was approved
Senator Hansbrough says he will not push
the resolutions in the convention unless a
strong minority of the resolutions commit
tee approves them.
