JAPAN HAS A SUBMARINE.
American Officer Said to Have Seer
the Vessel at Its Dock.


the Vessel at Its Dock.
NEW YORK, April 15.-Expres-
sions from ST. Petersburg of belief
that the japanese are using submarine
boats in their Port Arthur attacks are
given color by a statement credited to
a retired naval officer in this city. He
declares it to be the only way in which
one can account for the succession of
disasters met by the Russian ships.
1T is incredible" he said, ''that
ships which undoubtedly have charts
of the mines should be blown up by
them. One of the first things Vice
Admiral Makarcff did when he reached
Port Arthur was to resurvey the har-
Dor and locate the mines.
What is the sense of these constant
bombardments if they are not feints
made in order to entice the Russian
ships out? The theories that the
Petropavlovsk struck her own mines
or that the Japanese planted a mine
during the night are untenable.
1--WE know that the Japanese have
submarines. A United States naval
officer landed at the wrong dock, ap-
parently an unused wharf, in a Jan
anese town before the war and saw
submarine surrounded on three
sides by high fences, SO that it was
visible only from the water side. Be-
fore he had an opportunity to examine

STABBED IN THE BACR
IN QUARREL OVER WOMAN
Alexander Phin Is Seriously Wounded
by Arthur Cochran, a Soldier, i'm
Street BraWl.

In a quarrel over a woman Alex
ander Phin, steamship steward liv-
ing at 7S1 Folsom street. was stabbed
in the back by Arthur Cochran. a
member of the Coast Artillery, half
an hour after midnight near the cor
ner of Third and Mission streets.
Cochran was captured by Police
man J. J. Tillman as he was running
away. Phin was removed to the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital, where DR..
Hertzog succeeded in removing a
knife blade four inches long from his
back. The knife barely missed the
spinal cord and the wound, while Sc
rious, is not necessarily fatal.
Cochran was charged with assault
to murder, but claims he acted in self
defense.
The woman in the case is Miss Mel
lie Conner. Phin has been counting
her and when he met her walking
with Cochran he demanded an expla-
nation. Cochran resented his inter-
ference and claims that Phin struck
him. Then Cochran drew his knife
and stabbed his assailant.

GOOD WORK OF PRESIDENT.

AT time when it almost seemed as
though law had ceased to be effective
and legislation had reached its limit in
the great coal crisis of 1902-'03, actu-
ated by pure and patriotic motives and
desirous only of the public good, he
brought all the power of his great
Office and all the strength of his vigor-
Gus manhood to the solution of that
problem and successfully invoked the
principle of arbitration and mutual
concession to settle the impending
strike and avert general suffering
among the people.
His forceful and energetic admin
istration of our public affairs. his wise
and patriotic methods of dealing with
great and difficult problems, mark him
as equal to his responsibilities and
faithful to his obligations Fearless
in the discharge of his duties, with an
eye single to the public welfare, the
representative of the best ideals in
American manhood, he may be as
sured that Republican Massachusetts,
will give him her full confidence and
support, not only in the National Con-
vention at Chicago, but in the election
November next"
With the last word of the resolutions
Eugene Foss arose and offered sub
stitute for the plank relating to Cana
dian reciprocity. Foss' resolution de-
cIared for closer and more advantage
Gus trade relations with Canada and
that reciprocal relations beneficial to
both countries should preferably fol-
low the general line of the removal by
both countries of the duties on national
products of each, and such mutual eX-
tensions on the free list and reductions
and changes of the duties on the man
ufactured products of both as will give
to each as low a rate of duties as given
to any other country.
In a speech in support of his resolu-
ton Foss declared that he offered it as
a Republican manufacturer and en-
ployer and as the representative of
many hundreds of millions of capital
in the commonwealth.

JEWEI.RY STORE LOOTED
AND THEN SET ON FIRE
III. j. Schenidewind, So Valencia
Street, Claims Loss Aggregating
Nearly $1,000

A peculiar case of robbery was re-
ported TO the police last night and the
efforts of the detectives detailed on the
case to locate the criminal have thus
far proved futile.
H. J. Schenidewind, a jeweler at s22
Valencia street, is the victim Of this
crime, which is unique in police an
nails. Schenidewind closed his shop
shortly after o'clock and left to at
tend a lodge meeting. Soon after an
alarm OF fire was turned in from box
lz2. on the arrival OF the engines it
was discovered that there was an in
cipient blaze in a side room of the
shop.
Schneiderwind on his return to the
main store found that his safe had
been opened and that some s1100 worth
Of unset stones had ben taken from it,
besides s54 n coin. Badges valued at$10O0
were overlooked by the thief. The mat
ter was at once reported to the police.
and Detectives Tom Gibson and Bailey
were sent TO investigate.
The only clew they had to work on
was that a young man, Of whom they
have a good description, walked into
the store a few days ago and under pre-
tense of making a purchase had the
proprietor open the safe.
It took Schneidewindi some time TO
make the combination, and he thinks
is pseudo customer studied its work
ings. learned the combination and,
watching his opportunity, got into the
place and opened the vault.
What his object was in firing the
store is battling the detectives. and the
only reason they can suggest is that
the man figured on escaping during
the excitement the fire would cause. If
this was his plan it worked TO a nicely.

fine form, striking out seven of the

distinguishing himself at the bat by
swinging on one of MerkIe's twisters
for home run.
The varsity nine played gilt edge ball,
securing ten hits off the delivery OF
Merkle and McGregor. who occupied
the box for the visiting team. They
were debited with two errors, but these
came to them on hard chances.
The Mayer Brothers team made elev-
en- errors. five of them in the fifth
inning, when five of the fifteen runs
were made by the varsity. Neither
Merkle nor McGregor was effective as
pitcher, but the support they were
given would have discouraged the best
