A GLOOMY CHRISTMAS
For the Textile Workers of Fan
 River.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 24.-Meetings of the various textile unions are to be called within a short time, it is learn cd, to vote upon the question of furth- CT continuing the cotton mill strike. No vote has been taken by the unions since the strike began twenty-two weeks ago upon this question and it is thought by labor leaders that an ex- pression of sentiment should be ob- Lained from the operatives in order that plans may be formulated for the flu tuTe.
 1t is sioorny Christmas in Fall River, although every effort is being made to rpake the Christmas day as bright as possible under the circum- stances. All the unions have given strike Fay to their members. Several carloads of toys are coming from Bos- ton, but the labor leaders say it is food that the suffering operatives and chil- dren III FaH River need most.

might conference at police hesldquar- ters, where Dodge was taken immedi- ately upon his arrival here and during which 1t is said he made a confession that will lead to the making of serious charges in connection with the Morse Dodge case against seven men ot prom thence in this city. It is said that Dodge will go before the grand jury, which at MT. Jeromes request, was continued in session through next week and that he will be the chief witness of the state in the prosecution of the men said to be implicated by his confession.
 FI-Ass istant District Attorney Jas. ". Osborne, new counsel for Dodge. who was present. throughout last nights conference, had previously ad- vised Dodge to tell all he knew. Mir. Osborne says he feels that Dodge will never see the inside of a prison. When Dodge was taken before Judge Cowl- ing. District Attorney Jerome, after re- lating the incidents connected with the prisoners arrest and extradition from Texas. asked that the transfer of the prisoner from federal to state a.uthori- ties be made.
 When this had been done he said: "For reasons of a public nature. which cannot now be stated in public. because they would be detrimental to the cause of jus tice, the defendant should be dis charged upon his own recognizslnce on the indictment found on June 26, 1904, and I ask that he be dischart;ed.' % Dodge was discharged and went to his hotel accompanied by a detective of MT. Jerome's staff.
 After these developments Mir. Os- borne said: MT. Dodge will remain al his hotel under my care until he is
 wanted as 2 witness for the county At the request of MT. Jerome. Dodge and his counsel will appear at the lcriminal court building on Monday, it is said, to carefully review the testi- n1ony to be presented to the grand jury. The latter body will meet on
 Wednesday and. MT. Dodge will appear
 either on the opening day or the day lfalIt wing.

May Lead to Solution of
 Colorado Mystery
DEPENDS ON THE TEETH
A Girl Missing From Syracuse, E. '. In the Meantime the Authorities Are Inquiring if There Are Any Missing Show Girls.

Colorado Springs, Cclo.. Dec. 24-An entirely rev clue and one that looks good to Chief Reynolds has developed as the result of an excellent descrip- ticn of dentistry sent over the country by the Associated Press. The clue comes from Syracuse. N. r., where it is learned a girl named Renter is missing. The girl came to Colorado Springs some time ago and in October a check for $200 was sent to her which she acknowledged receiving. Since that time nothing has been heard from her and her family believes she is the victim of the Mount Cutler murder. Investigation by Chief Reynolds brings out the fact that the dentistry of the missing Miss Renter tallies exactly with that of the dead girl as does also the hair and height.
 A special to the Gazette received from Syracuse tonight is to the effect that the. family has directed a sister of Miss Renter, who is now in Cali fornia to proceed to Colorado Springs at once and either locate her sister or identify the remains.
 The officers who have been engaged in attempting to solve the murder mys- tery are working on what they claim to be the best clue yet secured. The NAirOfE upcl WHICH they are WbLhinB was that the deceased was a membe of enc of the theat rical troupes that 1. have visited this city during the past two months. and was put out of the way by some male member of the conl- pany on account of jealousy.
 The police are still in telegraphic communication with the managers of the following companies in an effort to ascertain if any member of troupes was missing here: Sambo Gorl com pany, here November l; Maxine Elliott November 15: Chinese Honeymoon November 22; Gl:ttering Gloria, Novem- Der 20: San Toy, December 3; Friend of the family, December 12.
 Chief Reynolds has ascertained that enc young woman. believed to be Miss Lucille Villiers. who was a member ot the last named company. was released here and furnished with a ticket to St Louis. and the officers of that city have been requested to trace the return oi the girl. So far they cannot find that she ever reached St. Louis. A descrip- tion of the girl discharged here is said ] to tally with that of the body found or Mount Cutler.

the rear of the fort, and by working from hole to hole under the cover of darkness the entire battalion gained the interior of the fortification, not withstanding the desperate resistance made by the Russians. The first charge made against the wall of sand bags proved unsuccessful, but charge followed charge until midnight, when the last corner of the Russian defenses was captured.
 The fighting was desperate in the ex- treme, with bayonets and dynamite hand grenadte, tn the entire garrison was killed with the exception of q party Of twenty who escaped through the covered wall, which they destroyed behind them by exploding four mines and thus preventeI the Japanese from pursuing them.
 Though the numbers engaged an'l the area Of the fighting was small, both the assault and the defense were more furious than any in the previous history of the siegt of Port Arthur. With the exception of those noted the garrison died fighting to the last man with wonderful determination.
 The final rushas of the Japanese were irresistible. Their wounded refused to retire and insisted on continuous fight lnSs saying they nsld vowed to take the fort and that they must succeed. Four field guns and live machine guns were captured and ever SC0 Russians were killed.
 ne skillful manner in which the second assault was executed prevented heavy losses and ensured the captu, e Of the fort, which, though not the larg- est. is one of the strongest of the east ern fortified ridge. The fort is inn

The Plea to Be Made Be- fore North Sea Commission
AN IMAGINARY DANGER
Justified the Firing Upsn the Herring Fleet-Prsof Said Co Bs Over whelming That Japanese Terpsdo Boats Were in the Vicinity.

Paris, Dec 2A-The Russian de1ellse before the international commission which is to inquire into the North Sea nsan feature5 are:
 First That the firing by the Ru-sian squadron was justined as ieEense against an attack This entails the proving of the presence of Japonesc torpedo beats Tie Russian delegatrs inform the Associated Press that they possess this proof in most positive and overwhelming form
 Second. That even if the Russians were net attacked they believed they were attacked and therfOre the defeu- sive measures taken were in absolute good faith
 Third At most it was an accident az sea where dangers and risks were eS- treme and analogous to the British battleship Camperdown ramning and sinking the British ba1tieship Nici0ria and the recent firing by British war | ship upon cOasting vessel dul1nS sa-- get practice
 The pre.iminaries Of the commission have clearly shown that tEe British aE e Gnxio usfor prompt disposal of the case while the Russians do not object to de- I laying it. Therefore a postp1nemen- or the opening of the commission oN- ing te the non arrival f Rear Admiral Davis the American representative. de- veloped an incident showing a rather significant grouping cf delegat-s. tEe Russians sharing the American view that Admiral Davis was entitled t1 1 ample time while B-itish and French sentiment did no, approve of the P-st- | pcnement.
 IL develops that Ambassador CaOats sent a wireless telegraph mezslEe O | Finland notifying Adm'ral nevis ta1J | the commissiCn would be opened nc- | oember 22. This probably was the nrsJ use of tEe wireless system in an im- portant official communication iR mid ocean.

Japanese Description of
 Capture of kekwan
THE MEN OFFERED TO DIE
The Capture of Another Defensive Point Yesterday - Admiral Togo Finds No Necessity for Keeping the Whole Fleet on Watch.

Headquarters of the Japanese Third Army Before Port Arthur, Dec. 20. via Yinkow, via Tien Tsin, Dec. 24.-Since the general assault of November 26 and 27 against the forts on Rihlung and Kekwan mountains, resulting in furious fighting and great loss of life, and described at length by the Asso- ciated Press correspondent in a dis patch filed November 2S, the Japanese have been engaged in tunneling under the north fort of Kekwan mountain. Two main tunnels ran under the north wall of the fort from a moat for dis tance of forty feet, and .-4ere were four short branch tunnels.
 On the morning of December IS sev- en dynamite mines were laid. the ob ject of which was to destroy the north wall and so give the Japanese access to the fort. The fort had so long re- sisted the attacks of the Japanese that it was considered necessary that an explosion of mines and subsequent at tacks should be carefully planned.
 General Samejima. commanding the left division, asked for volunteers who would be prepared to capture the fort or die in the attempt. Two entire bat talions answered the generals call, one frCm the left division and the Oth- CT from the general reserves. The first battalion remained in the capOnier gal leries during the explosion Of the mines, while the second battalion was close to the wall or the counterscarp. In order that the dark blue uniforms of the men might not show against the brown of the soil which would be turned by the force of the explosion, all the attackers wore brown wOolen underdrawers over their trousers and brown sweaters over their tunics. h. stead of a cap, each man wore a brown woolen headpiece, which eX- tended to the shoulders. leaving only the face visible. Every man carried a rife in his right hand and dynamite grenades in his left, while a lighted slow match was attached to his cart ridge belt, with which to ignite the
