Contempt Proceedings

Decision in the contempt proceedings
against Senator John A. Rush and At
torney Everett Bell, who were cited for
contempt in procuring the Writs, was
deferred until next Tuesday.
Charles j. Hughes, jr., appeared for
Rush and Charles S. Thomas for Bell.
and answers were filed on behalf Of
both of the accused attorneys. From
these answers il appeared that Bell
was not an attorney of record in the
case before the district court and
merely telephoned information of the
supreme courts decision to Rush. Both
attorneys pleaded ignorance of the full
scope of the decision. Rush's answer
stated that he had supposed that the
supreme court had not gone into the
merits Of the matter, because it would
hear the arguments only on the qUes-
tion of Jurisdiction
He had acted a he had in order TO
protect the interests of his clients in
ali things He said that Attorney
Bell had teIephoned 10 him that the
Copper decision Of the court of appeals
two wears ago would be the law of the
state until reversed. and said the only
way 20 have il reversed was to begin
action in the district court. Rush
claimed he did not know that any rule
or order had been made forbidding the
district courts to take any further ac-
ton Prompt action was necessary. he
said. because he was informed that
the state canvassing board was pre-
pairing to hold meeting Immediately

Victory For Plat.

When il irst became known publicly
that there hal DeeG differences of opin-
ion over party policy between Senator
Platt and Governor Odell, public atten-
ton was directed TO the two seats in
the United States senate held by Platt
and Depew almost as much as 70 the
convention which would nominate the
next candidate for governor Senator
Platt went before the legislature for re-
election two vears ago, and was re-
turned. but three Republican state
senator's refused to support him. The
campaign 20 return Mr.. Depew prac-
ticalIy began at that time, and was con-
tinued up to -oday when he was able
to announce its success. Tt was known
all along that Mr.. Depew regarded Mr.
Pfatt as very g-Od friend. and that
he did not desire to do anything thar
would give pain TO the man who had
led the Republican party in this state
for so many Years.
Last summer prior to the meeting Of
the state convention it was reported in
political circles that former Governor
Black desired % go to the United States
senate and hat ne would have the sup
port of Governor OdelL Never, how
ever. did Mr.. Black announce himself
as a candidate. and not at any time
till today lid Governor Oden make
known his position.

Changes of Fifty Years.

Earl Roberts interestingly reviews
the changes 0f the last fifty years. de-
scribes the military system prior to the
Crimean war, and points out how the
introduction Of modern guns necessi-
tated the complete adjustment of the
idea that men l1ust be mere machines.
Officers, he Gays, are no longer directly
able TO control the men. because the
lighting formation has been changed.
and therefore the men must have a far
higher stan1l-d Of individual intelIi-
gence, while among the officers intelli-
gence. self-raIiance and type of lead
ing must be on a proportionately higher
level.
The sooner this is realized to the
fullest extent, Earl Roberts says, "the
better for all ranks when the hour of
trial comes
Earl Roberts says the report Of the
committee on the war i'm South Africa
made il clear hat much is still needed
before Great Britain has an army fit
in all respects tor war with a modern
foreign power.

Rihlung fort. situated on Rihlung
mountain formed part of the inner cir
Gle of the chain of forts defending Port
Arthur. Rihlung is situated about two
miles from the outskirts Of the town of
Port Arthur The fort just captured
is a mile and half southeast of Kek-
wan fort. recently captured by the Jap
anese. The possession of these two
forts should make a most important
breach in the Notifications of Port Ar
thur and cut off communication be-
tween the Golden Hill forts and the
forts of the western section of the in
ner circle of Notifications.
Outside the capture of 2O3- Meter hill
on the western section of forts, little
is known Of the exact positions occu-
pied by the Japanese. but it would
seem from the material available that
the inner circle of forts is now cut in
three pieces and that 203- Meter hill pro-
hibits communications with the Liaoti
section forts. Just as possession Of Rih-
lung and Kekwan forts cuts off COM
muniCation with the Golden Hill forts
except by the many underground ways
which are said TO exist i'm various parts
Of the fortress. From Rihlung noun
tain, which is nearly opposite 203- Meter
hill, it would appear that the Japan
csc fire will be able TO reach anything
in the harbOr and town which the Jap
anese heavy guns on 203- Meter hill are
unable to hit, thus making it appar-
emily impossible for the Russian second
Pacific squadron to make any use of
Port Arthur, even should the japanese
content themselves with holding the
strong positions they now occupy.
