Mrs. Hoolinshead failed to put in her
appearance The afternoon was pass

were notified. 1t was learned at the
hospital that she had not been there,
and inquiries made at the friends
home on Locust street failed to pro-
duce any evidence of the Woman's pre-
sence or trace of her disappearance.
She failed to return to her home
Monday night and the mystery of her
disappearance baffed the police.
Nothing was indicative Of her where
abouts. The search thruout the
city was continued. The patrolmen
We're notified to keep a sharp eye out
for the missing woman. 1t is thought
she is in the city. Friends stated THAI
the woman is demented and that her
absence from home is caused by tenn

vourn Woman Found Wandering
Along River at Davenport.
Snecial to mes-hcpubl1can.
davenport, Sept. 2S.-Officer San
ford found a young woman wandering
in the Milwaukee yards along the river
front this morning shortly before Z
o'clock and brought her to the house OF
detention. When he found the woman
she was in a pitiful plight and looked
as if she had been on a spree all night
long. Her clothes were bedraggled
and muddy and she presented a rue
ful appearance. The officer thinking
that liauor was the cause of her con-
dition took her to the station with
the idea of giving her chance to sob
er up. An information was sworn out
and she was taken before the judge.
When Magistrate Finger came to
inouire into the case, however, the
woman acted in a very peculiar man
ner and it looks as If there was some
thing behind the case that has not yet
come to light.
The woman stated that her name
was Viola Adler and that she was "a
years of age. She also stated that
she came from Brighton, Iowa, but ex-
cept for answering these three ques-
tions, she would say nothing. The
Judge piled her with many others but
she stood silent and would answer
nothing.
The judge had her sent to the house
of detention and the officers will in
'vestigate the case.

Kuropatkin Must Retire.

| st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-Beyond
the fact that Kuropatkin's cavalry is
trying vainly to discover the nature
of the Japanese movements nothing
new is known. The Japanese are
making wide detours thru the noun
tains and building roads to make the
massage possible. Kuropatkih unless he
can stop the turning movements, Will
shortly have to retire.
The Port Arthur squadron will make
a. sortie as soon as the Vladlvostok
cruisers are ready to repeat the move

10.
A naval officer repeats that Stoessel
will never give in and that he mas

PORT ARTHUR NEAR CRISIS.
Russians Driven to Their Last Line o
Defenses.

London, Sept. 2S.---3. a. MA dis
patch to the Standard from Liao Yang
dated September 26, via Tientsin,
states that the crisis at Port Arthur is
rapidly approaching. The speedy cap
ture of the last line of defense is an
ticipated. The recent successful as
sauts by the Japanese sealed the fate
of the fortress, enabling the besiegers
to mount heavy guns on the hills to the
eastward, which command section of
the town and the harbor.
The Russian fire for many days has
not been as vigorous as usual. 1t IS
believed that their ammunition is
scarce. The correspondent confirms the
reports of severe bombardments, severe
losses by the garrison and the cutting
off of the main aqueduct supplying the
fortress with water.
A dispatch to the Chronicle, vaguely
dated 'Itiaotung. peninsula, Sept. 26,"
reports that the bombardment of Port
Arthur goes on increasingly. The fort
ress is surrounded by a ring of fire from
Japanese shells. The last line of the
Sdefenses is being battered to pieces
preparatory to the final assault.
Al one point the JAPANESE have sap
ped to within a few hundred yards of
the Russians, but 1t will be difficult to
cross the intervening space owing to
the intensity of the Russian rifle fire.
The correspondent mentions that the
Russians made a sortie, but were driv-
sen back into the fortress. They lost
some howitzers. Both sides are dis
playing unparalleled fortitude and de-
determination. The bands at Port Ar
thur play anthems nightly, while the
defenders in the advanced works sing.
The Japanese respond with cries of
"Banzaf" and by singing patriotic
songs.
End Near at Hand
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Chefoo, says a junk which left Port
Arthur at midnight Monday has arriv-
ed there having on board a Russian
woman, her child, and several Chinese.
The woman says there has been con-
tinuous and severe fighting since
September 20. Large numbers Of the
garrison have been killed or wounded.
The terrific bombardment causes con-
sternation in the town, rain of huge
shells falling upon it. She is of the
opinion that the capture Of the fortress
is near.
Two Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
entered Chefoo at o'clock last even
ing. One proceeded south after a hasty
exchange, of signals with the shore. 1t
is believed there have been important
deyelopments at Port Arthur. A num-
her of refugees have arrived at the
Chefoo islands Two Japanese de-
stroyers are outside the harbor, pre-
suinably watching the movements of
these refugees.

Russ this morning from the Berlin
press opinion saying that 1t was evil
dent the Americans were determined
to disregard the question of whether
or not Intervention in the far eastern
question at this time would be agree
able to either of the combatants.
In summing up the situation today,
the military expert of Russ says 1T Is
evident. from all indications at the
front, that the Japanese are engaged
in a big turning movement on the
eastward This would give them the
advantage, as heretofore, of operating
largely III the mountains to whlch lhelr
artillery Is better suited than lof
movements in the open. But IN the
present movement the units of the
Japanese army are necessarily losing
touch with one another. Th&r STRAIT
egic position, is therefore, less satis-
factory than at Liao Yang. The Russ
says it is question whether decis-
i've or even serious engagement will
occur at Mukden. Such an event will
depend entirely upon kuropatkin's
view as 10 the exigencies of the situa-
tion.
However,. one may rest certain" the
paper adds that the sentimental ques-
tion of violation of Chinese tomhs will
OF weigh with the Russian comman-
der. The public must wait patiently
a few days in order to ascertain
whether there will be a big fight at
or whether retreat will be con-
tinued to the strong position at Tie

COST OF SERVICE PENSION BIG.
Ware Says Parker Would Raise Ex
pense S25.OOO,OOO to $40, O,OOC, 900.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The cost of a
service pension law, such as was sug-
gested by Alton B. Parker in his ler-
ter of acceptance, would be between
$25, 900 and $40,000,0O0 This was
the estimate made yesterday by Pen-
sion Commissioner Ware. Much, how
er will depend, he said, on the number
of veterans now unpensioned and or,
the administration Of the law. Com
missioner Ware thinks the unpension-
ed veterans number about 10000. He
added that President Rooseyelts ord
er simply anticipated by few months
what veteran, In any event, would
get under the existing statutes. Among
congressman last winter the feeling
was that the time was not ripe for
a service pension law. Many con-
gressmen. who, to procure votes, had
advocated publicly such a pension law
are known to have gone privately to
Speaker Cannon and urged him to
oppose such legislation, but the speak,
er declared that he would not under-
take to become "life-preserver" for
these members by suppressing the
measure.

Criticized at Home for 'rranssressins
Local Laws and Also for Demand-

London, Sept. 2s.--The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon accurately
sums up the official opinion of the in
cident resulting from the fining by
Justice Phelps, of Lee, Mass, Of Hugh
Gurney, third secretary Of the British
embassy for violating the law relating
to automobiles for contempt of court,
saying:
1T seems desirable that gentlemen
connected with the legations should
keep on the safe side Of local laws
when they use motor cars and if per-
chance they transgress, the simplest
and quietest plan is perhaps to waive
their privilege and pay the fine"
No little annoyance is exhibited here
in official quarters at the demand made
by Gurney for diplomatic exemption,
with the consequent publicity over
tritling affairs.

secure a fair trial in Cook county be-
cause of the prejudice existing against
